Chapter 22
The sky suddenly turned gloomy.
The sun that was originally hanging high in the sky disappeared at this moment, and was replaced by black clouds that were so thick that it made people breathless.
The black-haired young man standing at the highest point of the sentry post withdrew his gaze. The wind in the sky blew up his long hair. The dimmer the light, the more his eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of cold light.
"Three, two, one, pull!"
Below the sentry post, some distance from the entrance of the village, with a roar, several young Kuli people erected the defensive fortifications that they had built just in case, and placed them on the path that the beasts must pass through.
The layers of chevaux de frise were made of thick logs, with their sharp sides pointing in the direction where the smoke and dust were gradually rising.
Su Xingyuan said that he could help, but the Kuli tribe obviously would not put all the pressure and hope on him. Nearly thirty warriors they had selected from the tribe were now on high alert, including even young children.
But without exception, they are all excellent hunters and are willing to fight to the death for their homes.
The black-haired boy on the sentry post raised his hand, placed it in front of his forehead, made a lookout gesture, and then slowly curved his cat-like eyes.
“——Here it comes.”
【★Repel the invading beast tide】
“Screech!!”
A sharp cry suddenly resounded through the sky, and in just the blink of an eye, a giant bird with a wingspan of seven meters appeared in front of everyone, and swooped down towards the nearest Xingyuan!
[Current wave——]
【1/3】
The black-haired young man who was hit first brushed his hand to his side and drew the sword from his waist with a "swish".
Then, he raised his head, the strong wind blew up the strands of hair on his forehead, revealing only his eyes as bright as stars. He stood in the air that was already filled with the smell of blood without any intention of retreating!
“Clang!!”
The blade collided directly with the giant bird's beak, making a sound of metal hitting stone!
"What a hard beak." A smiling voice floated in the air, "Is your head also that hard?"
The speed that could originally be captured by the naked eye increased in an instant!
The boy's smiling eyes were still visible in the giant bird's retina, and his neck, protected by layers of feathers, was the first to come into contact with the cold air.
It was the air that touched death.
"Squeak."
The bright red rain fell and splashed on the ground, sounding the bloody horn for the massacre.
The beast tide began in less than three seconds.
The advance soldiers sent by the giant beasts died at the hands of this human whose magic power concentration was so low that they did not feel any threat at all.
At that moment, all eyes filled with murderous desire fell on the black-haired boy who had arrived at the front line.
He seemed completely unaware of it, and smiled brightly and cheerfully despite the hatred that was about to drown him - as long as you ignore the fresh blood that was still warm on the side of his cheek.
——Let me ask you, which player would feel uncomfortable with having too much hatred stacked on himself when trying to grab a kill?
[You have killed the [Jungle Giant Bird]! 】
【Congratulations on getting EXP*200! 】
"I know you want to kill me."
He even found a huge rock to sit on, propped up his chin with his left hand, and said with a smile: "But you still have to get to me alive first, right?"
Seeing his perfunctory actions, the jungle beasts who could understand human language immediately became murderous: "!!!"
Bullying animals is too much! !
They sped up, and rushed towards the black-haired boy who was standing alone in front of the fortifications, like a surging wave!
Su Xingyuan still had his eyes bent, just watching the scene without any movement.
Players are greedy and lazy creatures. No one should try to force them to do anything when there is a loophole to exploit.
It's true that he really wants all the experience points, but that doesn't mean he really has to kill them one by one. It is both time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy for a few to slip through the net.
so……
Three meters, two meters, one meter.
When no one noticed, the magical elements in the air quietly leaped.
Then, when the activation conditions are met,
"boom!!!"
——suddenly broke out!
In just a moment, a terrifying red line of fire appeared ten feet away from the black-haired boy!
The blazing flames are like fire snakes dancing in the jungle, and the surrounding plants are its best fuel!
The beasts that rushed into the line of fire without having time to stop did not even have time to scream before they turned into a handful of ashes in an instant.
[You have killed [Wind Wolf]!] 】
[You have killed [Red Bear]!] 】
[You have killed the [Jungle Boar]! 】
…
Pop-up windows indicating successful kills kept popping up from the edge of his vision, so fast that one couldn't even see the words on them.
Behind the fortifications, the Kuli people looked at the scene in disbelief.
"He's crazy..."
In front of the blazing flames, in the air that had been extremely distorted due to the high temperature, the black-haired boy sat there calmly, the smile on his lips growing wider and wider, and in his green eyes, the two completely different qualities of madness and rationality seemed to coexist.
"He's absolutely crazy!!"
Setting fire to the jungle? !
What's the difference between this and suicide! !
Looking at the raging fire, in a moment, the fire line will turn into a fire net, and the fire net will turn into a fire field. The inextinguishable flames will kill everyone here!
Kunjia was also dumbfounded and subconsciously turned his gaze to Su Xingyuan, who was closest to the flames.
"…Everyone calm down, I believe him!"
He clenched the spear in his hand: "Since Mr. Su Xingyuan came here to help us and we accepted his help, we should believe in what he is doing!"
Since you have accepted the help, then give it your trust!
The beasts continued to surge forward. Even though some of them had realized that there was a sea of fire ahead, they were swept up in the momentum and unable to leave. In the end, they could only fly into a flame like moths and were burned to death by the flames.
However, fire is something that does not distinguish between friend and foe and burns everything around it as fuel.
The fire also began to spread towards the village.
The most vulnerable place is undoubtedly Suxingyuan, which is closest to the flames.
The flames could turn wild beasts into ashes in an instant, and their temperature was so high that even the strong and tough Kuli people behind the fortifications found it unbearable. But the black-haired boy sitting right in front of the line of fire still watched all this calmly and coldly.
He is the most patient hunter.
He was waiting for the fire to reach its greatest value.
"…Huh? It's raining?"
Ariel raised his head to the sky and stretched out his hands, opening them.
Drops of water fell on his fingertips.
【★Repel the invading beast tide】
At some point, the densely packed groups of wild beasts stopped roaring and rushing forward, and the scorching air brought by the flames began to cool down.
The dark clouds above the sky seemed to be getting closer to the ground.
[Current wave——]
"What is that...is it a snake?"
"A flying snake?"
【2/3】
Heavy rain poured down.
Even such a horrific fire could not stop the rain that was falling like arrows at this moment.
In the rain, Su Xingyuan raised his head and looked at the sky.
Su Xingyuan: “…”
Excuse me.
He expected someone who was good at swimming, but he didn't expect someone who was so good at swimming.
He felt a little stomachache for a moment.
The black-haired boy silently put his hands over his eyes, almost wanting to quit, and complained helplessly in a low voice: "This is only the second wave..."
At this moment, even he couldn't help but doubt whether he had come to the wrong door.
Could this door be prepared for him who is at level 30 or 40?
No, no, let alone level 30 or 40, even level 70 or 80 can’t beat this thing, right?
——The figure that finally appeared in the black cloud was clearly a dragon that brought the rain.
[Name: Jiaolong (fake)]
Suddenly, something seemed to appear in his sight.
……Um?
Su Xingyuan tilted his head and put down the hands that were covering his eyes.
[Description: A shadow left behind by a dragon that once visited this place. It does not contain any sacred power. Whenever it appears, it has a chance of bringing about floods.]
[Note: Can be killed by humans]
The black-haired boy raised his head again.
This time, a long streak of blood appeared on the head of the dragon hovering in the dark clouds.
…
The player suddenly laughed softly.
"All right……"
He stood up from the boulder. His clothes were soaked by the rain and the knife was also dripping with rain water.
The player just casually swung his sword in the rain.
The snow-white blade light suddenly cut off the endless rain curtain, and all the rain water on the blade was wiped off.
After washing, the knife is still as sharp as ever.
"Pause the game."
"Open [Personal Panel]."

"Purchase [Jiang Taigong's fishing rod - fake]."
[Name: Jiang Taigong's Fishing Rod - Fake]
[Description: Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who are willing will take the bait.] But unfortunately, this fishing rod is a replica of the fishing tackle used by Mr. Jiang, and it needs to be loaded with enough bait before it can be used.]

【Confirmed Purchase】
The next moment, time in the game started flowing again, and raindrops fell again, forming streams on the ground.
In such a rain curtain, the sky seemed to have turned into a river.
The black-haired boy raised his head and looked at the huge figure. His green eyes appeared extremely bright and clear in the rain.
A fishing rod made of green bamboo appeared in his hand.
[Insect Meat]*47
【Loaded】
The dragon seemed to sense something and lowered its head, meeting the eyes of the black-haired boy who looked so tiny compared to it.
"good--"
A long, childish voice echoed on the ground.
This human who looked extremely weak, was smiling and showing a small canine tooth, as he completed the second half of his sentence.
"The dragon fishing game has officially begun!"
