Chapter 12: Luna, the Night Huntress [Please add to collection and recommend]

He first pulled the blood-burning arrow out of the skull.

The arrow was wedged in firmly, and combined with being buried for ten thousand years, it took Zong Shen a great deal of effort to pull it out.

This blood-burning arrow was black all over.

Even the arrowhead was black.

It was as translucent as obsidian; when held up to the sunlight, one could vaguely see a flame constantly leaping inside.

It also felt heavy in his hand.

According to the strategy guide, this arrow was quite extraordinary.

When Zong Shen focused his attention on it, a system prompt appeared.

【Cruel Blood-Burning Arrow】

【Quality: Rare】

【Piercing Damage: 999】

【When paired with a Blood-Burning Longbow, piercing damage increases by 50%】

【Attached Skill: Blood Burn】

【Blood Burn: After hitting a target, ignites the target's entire blood supply, lasting for 8 seconds, dealing 5% of the target's maximum health in armor-ignoring damage per second】

(Nothing to tell you, just popping out to show some presence.)

This time, the name of the blood-burning arrow was purple, and it even had a "Cruel" prefix.

It was incomparable to the "ragged" equipment of common quality in Zong Shen's possession, which appeared in white text.

When Zong Shen saw the attributes of this arrow, he was completely shocked.

999 piercing damage!

What kind of god-tier concept was this!

To give an example, Zong Shen's current health was 122, and his upper-body armor was 13.

In other words, after taking 135 points of damage, Zong Shen's health would be depleted, meaning death.

999 points of piercing damage could kill 7.4 Zong Shens...

Like a skewer of candied haws.

Thinking about it this way, Zong Shen felt that this arrow was simply invincible.

One more thing: arrows and crossbow bolts could actually be recovered.

Including the bolt he had shot into the prairie wolf's eye earlier, which Zong Shen had also recovered.

It was just that arrows and bolts suffered some wear and tear each time they were recovered.

But this was still considered very good.

After all, this blood-burning arrow possessed an extremely powerful attribute and was definitely a major trump card in Zong Shen's hands.

This meant that as long as Zong Shen used it well, he could unleash several trump-card-level attacks.

"It's a pity there's no longbow!"

Zong Shen said with regret.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

"However, if I use this arrow as a short spear to stab people, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Zong Shen seemed to have thought of a possibility.

(Your idea is feasible, but it will accelerate its wear and tear.)

Without needing him to verify anything, the strategy guide immediately appeared to answer his questions.

Zong Shen nodded and solemnly stored the blood-burning arrow in his inventory for future use.

Next, he turned his gaze toward the leather backpack.

【Ancient Kodo Beast Leather Backpack】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Capacity: 5/24 slots】

【(Click to open)】

(A backpack made from the hide of a Kodo beast; it has amazing load-bearing capacity and is durable. It is an essential item for home and travel.)

This leather backpack was actually a spatial item, and the text was green, representing Excellent quality.

With a storage capacity of up to 24 slots, it would greatly increase Zong Shen's carrying capacity.

It was preparation for long-distance gathering and treasure hunting.

Next, Zong Shen opened the backpack's storage slots.

There were five items inside.

His gaze swept over them lightly.

The system began to prompt him about the acquisitions.

【Opened the Kodo Beast Leather Backpack】

【Mithril ×9】

(Precious mineral resource)

【Fragment of the Elven Key ×1】

(Collect nine key fragments to obtain the Elven Key, which can open the Treasury of Azshara)

【Night Huntress Recruitment Scroll ×1】

(Powerful soldiers of the Elven race that have gone extinct; black panthers and women, I believe you will like them)

【Emerald Legguards ×1】

(Decent equipment, much better than the rags on your body)

【Moonwell Construction Blueprint ×1】

(A special building that has gone extinct; possessing it, you will have no worries)

A total of five treasures.

They turned into five shrunken, cube-shaped items scattered in front of Zong Shen.

Zong Shen transferred them all into his inventory.

He began to examine them one by one.

【Mithril】

The text was green.

This meant it was an Excellent-grade material.

As for iron, wood, stone, and hemp, they were all white, Common-grade.

This was self-explanatory, nothing much to look at.

Next, Zong Shen looked at the Elven Key.

【Fragment of the Elven Key】

【A part of the Elven race's treasury key】

【Current progress: 1/9】

The text for this key was actually orange!

The shape looked like a triangular sector, just like a small slice of pizza.

It was only as big as a thumb.

(Orange, Legendary grade)

Next was the recruitment scroll!

【Night Huntress Recruitment Scroll】

【Commune with great mysterious power to immediately recruit a powerful Tier 3 ranged warrior, the Night Huntress】

【Occupies 2 points of Command】

【Default aptitude is Excellent, level is 10; can be promoted or strengthened later】

【Click to use】

(Congratulations, the Night Huntress is a very formidable character. The jungle and the night are their home turf. Of course, you'd better build her a Tier 1 thatched hut before dark, otherwise, she might get angry.)

Now, every increase in strength meant an increase in development speed.

How could Zong Shen miss this?

He decisively took out the recruitment scroll.

This recruitment scroll was green.

It had patterns of flowers and grass on it.

After Zong Shen used it, the scroll flew into mid-air.

It transformed into a green ball of light and landed in the open space nearby.

The next moment, green light shone, and countless vines grew from it, forming a large cocoon made of vines.

When the cocoon finally took shape, the vines split from the middle.

"Roar!"

A huge panther's roar came from within.

It echoed over the meadow.

A huntress wearing light armor, with purple hair and a toned, explosive physique, holding a moon glaive, rode out slowly on a black panther.

The black panther's fur was very short, and one could see muscles full of explosive power all over its body.

The black panther under the huntress's crotch approached Zong Shen with elegant steps.

When she reached Zong Shen, the huntress dismounted.

She placed one hand on her chest and bowed slightly to Zong Shen.

"For the great Mother Moon!"

"Night Huntress Luna reports to you!"

"Great Lord, may you be bathed in the light of the Moon Goddess!"

Zong Shen's expression became a bit more solemn this time.

He nodded gravely.

"Welcome to the team, powerful Night Huntress Luna!"

"Let us build a territory full of glory together!"

Hearing Zong Shen's words, the huntress smiled slightly.

She led the black panther back a few steps and then maintained a riding posture.

Compared to when he first arrived, Zong Shen was now full of interest in this brand-new world.

Relying on the strategy module, he could fully achieve his dream of being a lord.

Who doesn't have a lord's dream in their heart?
