Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

Chapter 115 The Soul-Severing Dart is Forged (Please Subscribe)

After finishing their meal, Xu Zhiyuan hailed a taxi and took Xu Zhiyi straight to the Agriculture Bureau.

Xu Zhiyuan's senior brother was a tall man in his late twenties named Li Muyi. He wore glasses, spoke slowly and deliberately, but did things cleanly and efficiently, without any hesitation.

He works in the Wildlife Protection Section of the Agriculture Bureau and is also the liaison officer directly in contact with the hunting teams.

He only brought the two of them along to join in the fun because he couldn't resist Xu Zhiyuan's request; he didn't expect to make any money from it.

Of course, it would be great if we could have some extra income.

For a low-paid junior staff member like him, this is quite good.

Therefore, when he met Xu Zhiyi, he was very enthusiastic and shook hands with her right away. "I've seen your video, the one where you smashed a gar with a dart. Several people in our department have shared it."

Xu Zhiyi exchanged a few polite words with him.

Li Muyi then presented them with two documents to sign, namely a safety responsibility notice and a hunting activity commitment letter, to prevent disputes later.

After signing the papers, he and the two of them officially set off.

Li Muyi was driving a domestically produced pickup truck, with some ropes, iron bars, and other tools loaded in the back.

Xu Zhiyi sat alone in the back row, looking out the window at the city of Jinling.

Through the signs on the road, he could tell that the car was leaving the city, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from tall buildings to low-rise houses.

Especially after crossing the Yangtze River Bridge, the scenery along the roadside has almost entirely changed to hills and farmland.

About an hour later, the car arrived at the courtyard of a factory located at the foot of the mountain.

The yard was large, with several pickup trucks and SUVs parked there. There was also a row of kennels next to it, with more than a dozen tan hunting dogs lying inside. Hearing the noise, they all stood up and looked over warily.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard was a middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin, a lean build, calloused hands, and piercing eyes; he looked like a seasoned veteran.

"Team Leader Chen!"

Li Muyi jumped out of the car and greeted them with a smile.

Team Leader Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping past Li Muyi and landing on Xu Zhiyi and Xu Zhiyuan. He scrutinized them carefully, his brow furrowing slightly. "These are the two students you mentioned who are going into the mountains?"

"Um."

Li Muyi smiled and said, "They're from the School of Biology. They have a scientific expedition mission and want to go into the mountains with the hunting team tonight. Captain Chen, is that convenient for you?"

"Convenient, convenient."

Team Leader Chen was very accommodating, smiling as he said, "Since you, Chief Li, have already spoken up, what inconvenience could there be? However, once you enter the mountains tonight, you must follow orders, stay with the group, and don't wander off."

"Let's not keep you from working," Li Muyi said somewhat awkwardly. "After we go into the mountains tonight, the three of us can just wander around on our own."

This was something that had been discussed with Xu Zhiyi and the others long ago.

They went hunting.

If they go with the hunting team, where will they get a share?

"You guys play by yourselves?"

Team Leader Chen glanced at Li Muyi with some surprise, then looked at Xu Zhiyi and Xu Zhiyuan, frowning as he asked, "What if you encounter wild boars in the mountains?"

Xu Zhiyuan, being straightforward, laughed and said, "We're going into the mountains to hunt wild boars, aren't we? If we encounter them, we'll just kill them."

"Young people talk so easily."

Captain Chen snorted and said irritably, "Wild boars aren't so easy to hunt. There's an old saying: 'First a boar, second a bear, third a tiger!'"

For humans, wild boars are far more dangerous than lions and tigers!

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyuan was a little intimidated. He couldn't help but turn to look at Xu Zhiyi, and seeing that she remained calm, he regained his confidence and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we have experts here! A mere wild boar is no problem!"

"An expert?"

Captain Chen noticed his actions just now and couldn't help but glance at Xu Zhiyi a few more times.

This young man was tall and quite handsome. He looked quiet and reserved, but he didn't seem like someone who often went into the mountains to hunt.

"Young man, if I may ask, have you ever gone hunting in the mountains before?"

"No," Xu Zhiyi replied truthfully.

"So what kind of weapon are you using? A composite bow? Or a crossbow?"

"slingshot."

"6

Captain Chen paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

"Young man, are you kidding me? You can't take down a wild boar with just a slingshot! Those things have thick hides, even a lightly drawn composite bow can't penetrate their skin, your slingshot probably won't even be enough to tickle them."

Upon hearing this, Li Muyi, who was standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Captain Chen, don't let my young brother's age fool you, his slingshot is no joke."

Have you heard about the alligator gar that was over a meter long that appeared in Wuxi a while ago?

I even recommended that video to you!

"Alligator gar?"

Team Leader Chen raised an eyebrow, as if he had remembered.

He stared at Xu Zhiyi again, his expression becoming slightly more serious. "I've seen that video; it's indeed quite impressive. But wild boars are different from fish. They're very alert and can hear your footsteps from a great distance, usually not giving you a chance to get close."

But if they go berserk and charge at you, that's very dangerous!

I must warn you, don't be reckless.

"Don't worry," Li Muyi said with a smile. "This isn't my first time in the mountains. If we really encounter danger, we'll definitely retreat immediately."

"Alright."

Seeing that they had made up their minds, Captain Chen said nothing more.

There were still quite a few people in the courtyard, busily making preparations before heading into the mountains.

The hunting team consisted of six people, ranging in age from youngest to oldest. The youngest looked about the same age as Xu Zhiyuan, while the oldest was over fifty.

The equipment they brought was also a motley crew.

Some people were using composite bows, some were using drones, and one was carrying a spear.

The most eye-catching person was a man in his fifties who was training the hunting dogs. Under his command, the dogs obeyed orders and did whatever he asked.

This hunting team relies mainly on drones and hunting dogs.

First, a drone equipped with a thermal imaging system is used to locate the wild boar in the mountains. Then, hunting dogs are released to surround or force the wild boar out. Finally, the operator finds an opportunity to strike and kill the wild boar with a single blow.

Because wild boars have thick hides, ordinary hunting dogs can't bite them at all; they can only be stabbed by people with spears.

In areas with complex terrain, they would also use composite bows to shoot.

Previously, they even tried using a drone to accurately drop 80-centimeter-long, 1-kilogram toothpick arrows from a height of 50 meters. Utilizing the kinetic energy of their own fall, they could directly pierce through the body of a wild boar, with a power almost comparable to that of a firearm.

However, because thermal imaging systems can only display the outline of heat sources and are not good at distinguishing targets, coupled with terrain limitations and the influence of wind, throwing toothpick arrows is prone to deviation and accidental injury.

Therefore, this method has been explicitly prohibited.

Xu Zhiyi and the others spent the entire day with the hunting team, learning about the situation from these experienced members and understanding the habits of wild boars from their descriptions.

Around 5 p.m., the hunting team was all ready and waiting to set off after dinner.

At that moment, Xu Zhiyi had a sudden thought.

The weapon crafting panel popped up automatically.

【Ding! 】

[Refining complete!]

[Congratulations to the player for successfully crafting a low-grade spirit weapon – the Soul-Severing Dart!]

The Soul-Severing Dart has been automatically stored in your storage bag.

Xu Zhiyi was overjoyed and immediately probed her consciousness into the storage bag.

The Soul-Severing Dart was quietly floating in the storage space. It was about three inches long and its entire body was a deep dark black. The dart was triangular and cone-shaped, with intricate patterns engraved on each side. Wisps of black energy swirled around it.

It's obvious at a glance that this is no ordinary item.

His mind started racing again.

The Soul-Severing Dart appeared instantly in his palm.

It felt slightly cool to the touch and was quite heavy, much heavier than the tungsten steel fish spears he had used before.

[Item]: Soul-Severing Dart [Type]: Spirit Weapon [Quality]: Low Grade [Effect]:

1. Tracking and locating the enemy: After locking onto the target with your divine sense, you can track and attack it automatically.

2. Blood Poison: Upon hitting the target, it can inject a wisp of Yin energy, which continuously erodes the target's vitality, causing the target to fall into a weakened state.

[Consumption]: Each use consumes 100 Spirit Points.

[Bound]: Bound, cannot be dropped, cannot be traded, and cannot be gifted.

What a wonderful baby!

Not only can it track and locate enemies on its own, but it also carries a bloodthirsty poison that can poison and weaken the target. Isn't this much better than the fish spear he used before?

Moreover, the consumption is not too large.

It only costs 100 spirit points to use once.

With his current total spirit points of 2880, he has enough to use it 28 times in one go!

With this Soul-Severing Dart in hand, I'm much more confident about going hunting in the mountains tonight.
