Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

"Commander Tang Wen!"

"Commander Tang Wen is here!"

In the wilderness, at the hunting team's outpost, a sentry shouted loudly.

Having personally witnessed Tang Wen single-handedly kill a ground-crawler beast, the entire wilderness hunting team regarded Tang Wen as a legend.

Team Leader Liu ran to greet him, both surprised and delighted: "Commander Tang Wen, what brings you here?"

"Just passing by."

Seeing the puzzled look on Team Leader Liu's face, Tang Wen explained, "I'm planning to venture deeper into the wilderness to hone my martial skills."

In the outpost, artisans were rebuilding the stone houses destroyed by the ground-crawler beast.

After a brief exchange, with the day still early, Tang Wen continued on his way.

In the wilderness, the west wind blew, covering everything in yellow sand.

Tang Wen had come prepared, taking out goggles from his backpack and covering his mouth and nose with a gauze scarf. He strode forward, running towards the location on the map.

It wasn't until noon that he found the mountain spring marked on the map, and only then did he stop.

The spring was surrounded by jagged rocks, with the springhead located on top of a massive boulder. The spring water flowed down through the cracks, collecting in a pool.

Seeing the nearly dried-up and muddy pool, Tang Wen decisively climbed the smooth boulder to draw water from the spring above.

The spring water was clear, refreshing, and sweet, with no strange taste.

Knowing that he would be coming here to drink water for the foreseeable future, Tang Wen carried several clean stones from below and stacked them around the springhead. He also found a thick stone slab to cover it.

This would prevent contamination from birds and beasts, while still allowing the spring water to flow down, so the animals and beasts below could continue to drink from the pool.

He wondered if the spring would dry up completely in the coming months.

If it did, life would be difficult for the creatures in the wilderness.

After drinking water and washing his face, Tang Wen stood on the boulder, surveying the surroundings. In the vast wilderness, he only saw a few wild mountain goats grazing on shrubs.

Tang Wen noted their location, then turned and found another place to practice his skills.

[Flying Locust Stone, Expert (5113/6000)]

A fireball shot up rapidly, impacting the mountainside!

A warm current surged from his spine, flowing into his right hand.

Tang Wen's eyes were firm, his muscles bulging, almost bursting through his clothes.

Whoosh!

A pebble flew out of his hand.

Tang Wen treated it as a thrown dart.

No sonic boom?

A failure?

Buzz!

Just as Tang Wen was about to shake his head, a terrifying roar echoed through the wilderness.

The sound grew louder and louder!

As if a jet plane was tearing through the sky!

"Holy crap!"

The Flying Locust Stone rapidly tore through the air, distorting the light, followed by an explosive bang.

The stone struck a lone, thorny tree, instantly shattering it into pieces. Before the fragments could hit the ground, they burst into flames, turning to ashes within seconds.

This was due to the pebble's extremely high temperature.

Tang Wen stood there dumbfounded for a long while before he recovered.

"This is like, catching up to a rocket launcher, no, a tank smoothbore gun, the power is just like that!"

Finally, he succeeded in applying the visualization technique's force to a hidden weapon.

He smiled, picked up another pebble, jumped high, visualized, and exerted force.

The pebble roared away, then accelerated to the speed of sound, emitting a shriek as it broke through the air!

This time, there were no trees to block it.

Tang Wen saw through his spyglass that the pebble flew thousands of meters in the blink of an eye, eventually becoming a black dot and disappearing.

The striking distance was far enough, but he frowned.

Hitting far wasn't very useful to him.

Because his opponents were either martial masters or high-level alien beasts.

Neither of them would be foolish enough to stand there and wait for the Flying Locust Stone to hit them without moving.

After thinking for a while, he came to a large rock and stood about ten meters away.

He visualized, and the Flying Locust Stone was unleashed like a knife.

Bang!

The boulder shook violently, and the pebble shattered completely into powder with a 'pop'.

Tang Wen stepped forward and pushed hard, causing the stone powder to rustle down.

Looking at the meter-thick boulder in front of him, it was already covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

He gently pushed it with his palm, and with a few sounds, the boulder split into pieces.

"This power is okay, but still not right."

The destructive power of that strike was only equivalent to a third-rate martial master unleashing their full power with a visualization technique.

Tang Wen was naturally dissatisfied.

This wasn't much stronger than his pure muscle power burst.

He had used the visualization technique, but he couldn't break the sound barrier the moment he attacked.

So something must be wrong.

It seemed that treating the pebble as a knife and directly chopping it out couldn't transfer 100% of the force onto the pebble!

Tang Wen stood there pondering for a long time, but couldn't think of a good solution.

Could it be that he had to find a "Hidden Weapon Visualization Technique"?

But that was easier said than done. Where could he find one?

Even if he found it, why would anyone teach it to him?

With a thought, he opened the experience panel—[Flying Locust Stone, Expert (5113→…→5613/6000)]

The experience points were soaring.

He immediately launched several more attacks in succession, and the Flying Locust Stone reached a bottleneck.

[Flying Locust Stone, Expert (6000/6000)]

"It's clearly an experience panel, but the realm can still get stuck. That's just outrageous!"

After the experience points were full, Tang Wen felt even more clearly that once the Flying Locust Stone was upgraded, the experience panel would inevitably undergo some kind of change.

This was unavoidable. He could only hope it was a good thing.

"Buzz buzz buzz"

"Boom boom boom"

Tang Wen spared no effort, repeatedly visualizing and unleashing his power.

In the wilderness, wild beasts fled and alien beasts hid, as if they had encountered an earthquake or flood, all fleeing for their lives.

"Well, from the current perspective, with the visualization technique to exert force, the Flying Locust Stone can accelerate to the speed of sound within twenty meters, and can break two or three times the speed of sound within a hundred meters..."

If he could reach the speed of sound the moment he attacked, the power in the second half would be even greater.

More than a dozen bursts of power consumed a lot.

If it were an ordinary second-rate martial master, they probably wouldn't even be able to lift their arms at this point.

But Tang Wen was only slightly exhausted.

Even if a first-rate martial master came now, he could fight them.

From noon to evening, Tang Wen stayed here, trying different force exertion techniques.

Thump thump thump.

The sound of hooves came.

Huh?

"Who is it?"

Tang Wen turned his head and shouted.

"It's me! Commander Tang Wen! It's us, don't attack, don't attack."

Two mounted guards raised their spears and shouted.

They were extremely nervous, afraid that Tang Wen would casually wave his hand and take them away.

People from Team Leader Liu's wilderness hunting outpost.

"It's you. Is there something wrong at the hunting outpost?"

The two wiped the sweat from their heads, dismounted, and said cautiously, "The commotion here was very loud just now, and our team leader was worried about you, so he sent us to check it out."

"I'm fine. The commotion just now was caused by my cultivation. No need to worry."

"Yes, yes. On the way here, we also saw a black rock sheep, but unfortunately, the horse couldn't outrun it."

"A low-level alien beast black rock sheep?" Tang Wen became interested.

"It's a ram."

As everyone knows, rams are more valuable.

"Tell me the direction, and I'll go take a look. You two go back. If I catch the black rock sheep, you two will get some meat!"

"We wouldn't dare!" The two smiled so wide that their eyes disappeared.

They were just martial apprentices. Being able to build a relationship with the young Commander Tang Wen was already very happy.

As for sharing meat or anything, they wouldn't even dare to think about it.

For Tang Wen, the reason he came to the wilderness to practice was to catch prey and store food.

Relying on himself, finding prey was a problem and the efficiency was too slow. Cooperating with these hunting guards was the best.

When the two returned to the hunting camp outpost, it was already midnight.

Unusually, a large bonfire was burning in the outpost.

"Could it be?"

Before the two could get closer, Tang Wen shouted, "You're too slow. Come eat mutton."

"Come on! You two bastards are lucky," Team Leader Liu also called out.

"The commander is really fast!"

Tang Wen's speed far exceeded a running horse. Catching a low-level alien beast black rock sheep was like picking something out of a bag.

Under his care, the two each received a twenty-pound foreleg.

Which aroused a burst of envy from the crowd.

Alien beast meat is very filling. Ordinary people can eat half a pound and work outside in the snow for a day without feeling hungry.

With the drought, this twenty pounds of alien beast meat, not to mention how much grain it can be exchanged for, just making it into jerky and eating it with some millet is enough for a month's rations.

And Tang Wen wanted them to know that there was meat to eat if they cooperated with him.

After resting overnight at the outpost, many guards came to him, offering Tang Wen clues.

They were very familiar with the vicinity. They wouldn't dare say they knew everything about what alien beasts were in which direction, but they could at least give a rough direction.

The next day, Tang Wen took the sheep legs and sheepskin, and left the rest of the meat to the hunting team.

He took a spear and stepped into the wilderness again.

He had a feeling that the experience panel should be about to change!
