Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

"Huh? What's going on?"

In the wild forest, Tang Wen constantly surveyed his surroundings, occasionally glancing back.

"Why do I keep feeling uneasy today? With my attributes improved, the prey should be the ones feeling apprehensive."

He felt suspicious.

The hook-nosed man, who had been following him, confirmed his direction and quietly left, reaching the outskirts of the scavenger gathering place.

The hook-nosed man said to several gaunt and poorly dressed scavengers:

"Kill a teenager, and you get half a jin of rice each. Those who want to do it, step forward. I need 5, no, 8! I need 8!" He remembered the long saber Tang Wen carried and his height, which was no less than his own. To be safe, he planned to spend four jin of rice to find eight people.

Eight against one, how could they lose?

As for himself, of course, he wouldn't risk his life.

Deep in the forest.

Tang Wen, who had scattered roasted sweet potatoes as bait, tested his enhanced abilities.

Whoosh!

Flying Stone, full power.

Smack!

The stone hit the tree trunk, cracking the thick bark, and the trunk shook gently.

Tang Wen walked over and saw an egg-sized dent in the tree, with cracks spreading around it like a spider web.

"This effect is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?" He couldn't help but click his tongue.

Within a few dozen steps, the stone smashed through the bark, leaving a dent in the trunk.

If it hit someone, wouldn't it break at least two bones?

What if it hit the head?

Flying Stone hadn't been upgraded yet; it was just his personal attributes that had become stronger, yet it was this much more powerful?

Suddenly, a bird flew by.

Tang Wen instantly drew his knife.

The dagger flew out like an arrow, nailing the passing red-billed leiothrix to the tree with a thud.

[Skill: Throwing Knife Technique, Proficient (3→5/3000)]

Two points of experience, better than nothing.

The dagger penetrated more than ten centimeters into the wood.

If the target were a person, this knife would have already killed them.

"Little Tang's Flying Knife, never misses!"

After several experiments, Tang Wen looked at the information in the attribute bar [Body: 2.1] and vaguely understood.

1.1→2.1, the physique attribute increased nearly 1 times, but his strength was more than twice as strong as before.

After all, explosive power equals strength multiplied by speed. With strength and speed already doubled, explosive power would be close to 4 times the original.

And Flying Stone and Throwing Knife Technique themselves rely heavily on explosive power.

"Huh?"

That's not right!

He remembered the uneasy feeling that had suddenly appeared in his heart not long ago. His attribute [Spirit: 2.05], so abilities like perception must have also increased significantly.

So, that uneasy feeling, could it be a warning?

It sounds a bit far-fetched, but Tang Wen preferred to believe it!

His family was not short of meat or food for the time being, so hunting was not urgent.

Thinking of this, Tang Wen carried his basket, found a thick tree, and climbed up it with his hands and feet.

In the forest, visibility was obstructed, and even standing on the tree, he didn't notice anything unusual for a while.

But as a hunter, he had plenty of patience.

Time passed little by little, and the sun gradually rose overhead.

Suddenly, Tang Wen heard a burst of footsteps.

He hid his body and quietly looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw a group of ragged scavengers, holding sharp bamboo poles more than two meters long, sneaking into the forest.

There were eight people in total. The leader was relatively strong and held a knife, while the other seven each held a sharpened bamboo pole!

Some of them looked around, and some stared at the footprints on the ground.

"Is this the right direction? Are you sure we're not mistaken?"

"Who cares if it's wrong? If we can't find him by noon, I'm going back."

"This forest is so big, who knows where the person is?"

"..."

Tang Wen slowed his breathing, his eyes full of suspicion: This group of scavengers, were they looking for someone? Could they be coming for me?

At this time, the scavenger holding the long knife said, "Keep your voices down! We took his rice, so we must find him. Split up and search in pairs. If you find him, shout loudly!"

"Okay."

The response was sparse, and the team was about to split up into pairs immediately.

"Don't panic, let me tell you again what the person looks like. He's a teenager, wearing several layers of linen clothes, carrying a basket, and holding a long knife..."

Tang Wen's vigilance was immediately maxed out: Teenager, linen clothes, basket, long knife, isn't that me?

Could it be such a coincidence that there's another person dressed exactly like me in this forest?

Impossible!

I was right to wait, someone really wants to harm me?

...

Tang Wen was both happy and scared, his mind still a little confused.

What to do?

There are eight of them?

Escape?

Anyway, they haven't found me yet!

No-

That won't do!

They are clearly hired, specifically to find me.

If I don't figure it out, I'll have to sleep with one eye open at night!

But, who is it?

Who did I offend?

Who wants to kill me?

Damn it!

What kind of world is this!

Tang Wen squatted on the tree, thinking through everything that had happened since he crossed over, but couldn't figure it out.

"I have to figure it out!" He felt agitated and angry.

After a while, the group split up into pairs.

Stones, daggers, long knives, Tang Wen checked his weapons, everything was normal. He took a deep breath and looked at a two-person team nearby.

Since he couldn't avoid it, he would face it!

Avoiding the two's line of sight, he gently slid down from the other side of the tree and quickly approached the rear of the two.

"Who's there?" A scavenger turned his head.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Whoosh!

A long knife came into view, the back of the blade heavy and powerful, smashing down with a strong wind.

The scavenger who turned his head didn't even grunt and fell straight to the ground.

"Don't move, don't make a sound if you don't want to die!" The long knife turned and rested on the other person's neck: "One shout, and you'll die!"

"I won't shout, I won't shout."

He looked at his companion whose neck was bent one hundred and eighty degrees, swallowed, and his legs went weak.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Y-yes, it's you."

"Why are you looking for me? Are you sure you're looking for me?"

"I don't know, someone gave us rice and asked us to find you, saying that if we killed you, we'd get one jin of rice each."

Hearing this price, Tang Wen couldn't help but be stunned.

My life is only worth eight jin of rice?

"Have you seen me before?"

"N-no."

"Then how do you know you're looking for me?" Tang Wen's first interrogation lacked experience and was a bit confusing.

"That person said he saw you enter this forest alone."

"What if there are other people?"

"Then, then, kill them all..."

Plop!

After saying this, the person knelt on the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Tang Wen sneered: "Tell me about the person who hired you, what he looks like, where he is now!"

"He's waiting on the small road by the edge of the forest, waiting for us, waiting for..."

Tang Wen understood: "Waiting for you to bring back my head?"

"Corpse, it's a corpse."

"Damn! Pretty professional." Tang Wen cursed.

"The man is here, save me!" The person on the ground suddenly shouted, reaching out to hug Tang Wen's leg, trying to knock him to the ground.

But he was too slow and lacked strength. Tang Wen smoothly pulled out his dagger and slashed hard at his throat.

Chih!

The feeling from the blade was strange, like cutting off several tough ropes.

Blood spurted out!

There was no time for emotion. Someone in the distance spotted Tang Wen.

Several scavengers shouted and rushed towards him.

Tang Wen also accelerated and rushed towards them.

Soon, the distance was close enough!

Swish, swish, swish

Flying Stones were thrown out in succession, heading straight for the eyes and throats of these people.

"Ah"

"Ah, ah"

The accuracy of the Flying Stone was such that even the most agile red-billed leiothrix couldn't avoid it, let alone these scavengers who had been starving for a long time!

The four who rushed over fell to the ground one after another. The lucky two could still roll around covering their eyes.

The other two had already had their Adam's apples shattered and fell directly to the ground, gradually losing their lives.

Not far away, the leading scavenger, with a subordinate, charged over howling.

After charging for a while, his vision blurred. The next moment, seeing four companions lose their fighting power at the same time, they stopped shouting and slammed on the brakes!

The two looked at each other, as if they had seen a ghost, and turned around and ran.

Tang Wen: ...
