Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1101 - 296: Lone Wolf Mode, Hunter Form

No kill prompt appeared; instead, the remaining flesh and blood of the Snail Spirit frantically proliferated, and ice-like threads sprayed from its broken neck, weaving a new head outline.

Ning Shu decisively retreated to create distance, and the second arrow was already on the bowstring, humming.

Thud.

This arrow changed angles, hitting the Frost Eroded Snail Spirit's forehead and piercing into its shell.

The Qi Blood Fire entwined on the arrow collided with the Extreme Cold Power within the Snail Spirit's shell, creating bursts of steam.

This process lasted for several seconds, and the Challenger Tips echoed in his mind.

An invisible force suddenly surged into his body, elevating his Life Soul Level to Level 2, with overall attribute enhancement.

From the initial encounter, Ning Shu analyzed the characteristics of this monster.

Strong recovery power, but weak defense.

This starting point wasn't too difficult.

Currently, in the Newbie Village, the most challenging early stages are undoubtedly the mechanical life in the cave world (robot vacuum) and the plant-type life in the Senluo Forest Region.

They have extremely high defensive power, making it difficult for newcomers to cope.

Only the new monsters with high recovery abilities are considered more friendly starts.

Realizing that he didn't choose the wrong Life Soul from the start, Ning Shu felt excited and decisively changed targets to shoot.

After killing another Frost Eroded Snail Spirit, he resolutely floated further away.

The number of players nearby was rapidly increasing, and if he didn't leave soon, he would be overwhelmed by the newbie tide.

Every time he killed a monster along the way, Ning Shu would explore further for some distance.

Soon, the level reached Level 4.

The Scatter Arrow Soul brought high efficiency in killing, which was the core reason he chose that Life Soul.

Only by raising the Life Soul level could he hunt higher level monsters, producing more sacrificial power rewards.

The only drawback was that each release consumed Qi-Blood.

Without Body Refining Level or Lifeforce Inhalation support, he could only keep recovering his state by drinking potions from the marketplace during hunts.

Potion expenses accounted for about 20% of the earnings.

Hunting along the way, in the white vast environment, apart from the ice spikes piercing the lake surface, the surrounding scenery was quite monotonous.

Occasionally, huge shadows swam past underneath, making Ning Shu's heart race with fear.

A one-hour Death Cooldown was too long for him, racing against death itself.

Reaching a new area, he noticed numerous shells shed by the Snail Spirit scattered on the lake surface, and he decisively collected them, intending to compare prices with the "Coin Trend Plugin" for selling later when resting.

Time slipped away in a race against seconds and minutes.

On the seventh day, just before dawn.

The icy fog boiled in the deathly silence, suddenly torn apart by a crimson light.

Accompanied by a piercing whistle, the arrow cluster dragged two spiraling streaks of blood-colored airflow, precisely capturing the Split Sky Ice Moth fluttering in mid-air.

Pfft!

The ice moth's glass-like body froze instantly upon contact with the arrow, its icy wings twisting and shattering under the high temperatures, ultimately turning into countless burning crystal fragments scattered into the air.

The nearby moth swarm was instantly alarmed.

In an instant, the entire icy fog boiled, with dozens of translucent wings trembling simultaneously, condensing dense frost needles in the air.

Selling materials in bulk, combined with hunting rewards, Ning Shu, who successfully reached Body Refining Level 1, faced the incoming ice moth swarm without panic, drawing his bow, stepping forward, and rotating his body.

With his vision extended far ahead, the bowstring tightened like a full moon, and the Qi-Blood coiled on the arrow shaft forming spiral flame patterns.

Thud!

The blood-colored airflow pierced through.

Another ice moth exploded in mid-air, its burning remains yet to fall as Ning Shu leaped sideways into the air, releasing the third arrow.

This time, the arrow pierced through two overlapping flying ice moths.

The Challenger Tips echoed continuously in his mind, but Ning Shu ignored it, calmly retreating.

After creating some distance from the ice moth swarm, he drew his bow again, leapt back, and released the string.

Thud!

The arrow broke through the wind, precisely pinning into the head of an ice moth attempting to dive and attack.

The moment the Ice Crystal Core shattered, a fragment momentarily reflected Ning Shu's piercing gaze as it twirled through the air.

Rhythm, control, hunting.

With seven days of continuous hunting, Ning Shu's hunting prowess significantly enhanced.

This included his precision in archery, which increased with higher control resulting from improved physical fitness, spiking his hunting efficiency.

Yet a sense of urgency always lingered in his heart.

He didn't dare to rest even briefly. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

A drop in the health bar led to drinking recovery potions, while excessive physical strength consumption required physical potions, leaving no room for rest in his eyes.

Continuing in the melee, Ning Shu's actions had no redundancy; each bow draw marked the fall of another ice moth.

The Qi Blood Arrow traced red streaks through the icy fog, rapidly reducing the moth swarm's numbers.

He once thoroughly reviewed a technique guide released by the Leader of the Competitive Party, "Phase Kill," on a forum, which left a deep impression on him.

"Combat is not a performance, but subtraction."

Excessive movements reveal intentions, and flashy combos waste physical strength.

To enhance skills, one needs to continuously eliminate redundant actions, shaping a highly condensed combat logic.

This efficient battle rhythm, once familiar, turns this logic into instinct within the body.

This was the combat rhythm Ning Shu had been learning for the past seven days.

According to Phase Kill's method, focusing on observation, targeting, and killing, avoiding rapid-fire shooting and pursuing the most efficient killing method instead.

By today, he found that training according to this technique led to rapid growth.

In movement, he only adjusted with small steps and running, never wasting physical strength on rolling.

In output, he could shoot between the intervals of ice moth wing beats, significantly reducing the chances of being dodged.
