Chapter 174 Hidden Killing Intent



Sigh~

Xiao Jin blinked. Well, at least it's a reusable prop.

After opening the small resource boxes, it's time for the medium ones. Let's save the most anticipated ones for last and open the mutated animal boxes first.

[Open Medium Resource Box *1]

[Received: 150 points, 2 Kingfisher Feathers, Crimson Dagger, Feather Hat, Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin, Jade Carving of a Kingfisher, 4 Banana Leaves]

Xiao Jin: "..."

So that bird is called a kingfisher!

Sure enough, it was easy to solve at the time, and the system gave us very 'simple' items. The two hairs were the materials, and the only blue item was the vermilion dagger.

The blade is so narrow that it looks like a thorn.

Xiao Jin's short weapons were all destroyed in the Heavenly Fire, so now it's a good time to replace them.

As the name suggests, the feather hat is a hat made of brightly colored feathers, similar in shape to the kind worn by savages. It's actually quite pretty, but Xiao Jin rejected it from the bottom of her heart.

Then, Xiao Jin took out the jade carving of the kingfisher because it was so beautiful.

The jade is green and translucent, and the carving is so natural that even a small piece of jade the size of a palm can be used to carve a kingfisher with a lifelike appearance. Its round little head is so cute that it makes people happy at first glance.

Xiao Jin found it quite rare, touched it, and then carefully placed it in her spatial storage.

Okay, now we have the starter capital to stockpile supplies.

[Open Medium Resource Box *1]

[Rewards: 200 points, 2 spirit stones, 2 beast traps, 2 virtual screens, 4 pearl shells, 4 log stools, 2 seafood dishes, 2 pumpkin pies]

The spirit stones are piled together with the ones obtained earlier, and the beast traps can be used together with the beast bait obtained on the first day.

The virtual screen is a one-time use blue item that leaves an image of the player in place after a while. The image uses the most advanced technology to ensure it looks exactly like a real person.

However, the images cannot speak or attack; they seem to be only used to distract and last for only two minutes.

Looking further ahead, the pearl oyster is a small, silvery shell, about the size of a ping-pong ball, with a shimmering surface that looks quite valuable.

But its most valuable asset is not itself, but its skills.

This is a purple item. Pearl oysters produce a type of pearl. After swallowing this pearl and entering the water, a special membrane will appear on the player's body. The player can breathe and speak freely inside the membrane.

At the same time, players' movements in the water will no longer be restricted by water resistance.

The membrane lasts for one hour, and every 24 hours, a pearl is produced inside the pearl oyster. This pearl can be removed and preserved separately.

This shows that given enough time, Xiao Jin could accumulate a large number of pearls.

Whether you use it yourself or trade it to other players, you can do so!

…………

Today is the fourth day of island survival, and the total number of players has reached 4,563, with more than half eliminated.

Xiao Jin woke up promptly at six o'clock in the morning.

She lay on the bed, her hair falling around her cheeks, her eyes still hazy from just waking up, with a hint of tears welling up at the corners of her eyes.

She went to sleep right after opening the supply crate last night, without even watching the beast tide that followed.

There were outsiders present the day before yesterday, so Xiao Jin didn't sleep well. Then, she was forced to get up and fight by the mutated scorpion early in the morning, and then she encountered the Heavenly Fire. She was exhausted both physically and mentally.

However, after a good night's sleep, Xiao Jin felt refreshed and her energy had been fully restored.

Today's breakfast consisted of a glass of watermelon juice, two pineapple buns, a cheese chicken roll, and two fried eggs.

The disaster map at 10 o'clock shows zones D and F. Great, we escaped it again.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Jin began his work for the day. There were many poisonous insects in the rainforest, and Xiao Jin inevitably encountered them while searching for resource boxes.

Fortunately, she was protected by protective clothing, and Xiao Jin discovered that even if she was bitten by a poisonous insect, the bite would quickly return to normal.

She felt that this was related to an increase in her body's resistance to toxins.

Xiao Jin strolled lightly through the dense forest. As she walked, she gradually slowed her pace. The chirping of insects that had been rising and falling around her suddenly disappeared, as if choked by an invisible force, and the air became unusually silent.

Xiao Jin activated his senses and keenly detected the anomaly to his side and rear.

In that instant, the depths of the grass seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and a huge figure suddenly leaped out.

It was a mutated tiger, with bulging muscles beneath its fur, its eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty red light, its gaping maw wide open, and its sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the sunlight, heading straight for Xiao Jin.

The stench of blood, mixed with a strong, metallic scent, almost engulfed her entirely.

Xiao Jin remained calm and composed. As he raised his hand, the Shadow Blade appeared, its cold light gleaming as it was held horizontally in front of his chest, accurately blocking the mutated tiger's gaping maw.

"Clang!" The crisp sound of metal colliding with sharp teeth echoed through the forest.

Using the force of the impact, Xiao Jin suddenly sprang up and slammed his knee into the mutated tiger's abdomen like a heavy hammer. The force was so great that even the mutated tiger felt pain.

Its massive body was violently thrown into the air, branches snapped in front of it, and dust billowed everywhere. That single blow had thwarted the mutated tiger's attempt to smash Xiao Jin's head.

The mutated tiger roared, clawed at the ground, and regained its footing.

Its eyes were filled with resentment and anger as it lunged forward, brandishing its sharp claws. Xiao Jin seized the opportunity to pursue, her figure moving like a ghost through the forest. The shattered blades in her hands transformed into streaks of silver light, forcing the mutated tiger into a steady retreat.

After fighting for so many days, Xiao Jin had long since become adept at dealing with these mutated animals.

Therefore, ten minutes later, with the mutated tiger's unwilling growl, it fell heavily into a pool of blood, and its body then disappeared, turning into a silver resource box.

Just as Xiao Jin bent down to pick up the resource box, a flash of silver light struck her head.

Xiao Jin's lips curled slightly beneath her hair, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Ha~ I've been waiting for you guys for ages!

Xiao Jin is now a second-tier psionicist. It's practically impossible for an ordinary person to evade her senses without using any tools.

These people arrived while she was fighting the mutated tiger. Seeing them hiding to the side, Xiao Jin pretended not to notice them and even tugged at the mutated tiger for a while.

A silver spear pierced through the leaves, aiming heavily at Xiao Jin's head. At the same time, a chain wrapped around her right hand, securing it tightly and preventing her from lifting her hand that was gripping the knife even an inch. Above, a person wielding a two-handed hammer leaped down from the tree.

The three men were filled with murderous intent. They didn't say a word, but their desire to kill Xiao Jin was impossible to hide.
