As the two individuals stepped in unison, they both veered left, their eyes meeting in surprise. In that moment, the slender figure, shorter than the other, stumbled awkwardly. The Longbow struck the ground to steady itself, ignoring the pain from the collision to its chest, instinctively dodging the outstretched hand. An awkward atmosphere instantly enveloped them.
"I'm sorry."
"Thank you."
One voice was cold and sharp.
The other was low and hoarse.
The simultaneous utterance only heightened the awkwardness around them.
With the faint light from the Teleportation Circle, the shadowy figure caught a glimpse of the Golden Longbow's appearance. A flicker of surprise flashed in its eyes as it stole a glance at the face hidden in shadows, tightening its grip on the Golden Dagger before stepping into the Teleportation Circle.
As it sheathed the Longbow and glanced back at the Teleportation Circle, only a tall black silhouette remained, along with a fleeting glimmer of gold.
In that brief moment of passing, it seemed to have caught sight of the Courage Dagger.
Shaking off its thoughts, it turned and hurried on its way.
Rushing to the Dock outside Sunshot Town, a thick black Miasma hung in the air, carrying the scent of dark creatures.
Dark Demon: Level 1
Type: Common Monster
Health Points: 5
Speed: 65
Attack: 5
Skill: Dark Cloud
Attack Range: 6 yards
The Dark Demon resembled a Goblin-like creature, a manifestation of darkness. The pervasive black Miasma above the Dock was a result of the Dark Cloud formed over time by these demons.
Her attacks were weak, her Health Points low, and she was at a disadvantage, making it suitable for her to grind monsters at night.
Moreover, this Coordinate point was close to the general store, making resupplying convenient.
"Whoosh—" Rapid Fire!
The arrow flew from the bow, its tip coated with Holy Water, striking precisely into the head of the Dark Demon.
"Screech—"
-7
A one-hit kill.
The sharp scream pierced the night sky, and the scattered Dark Demons quickly converged.
Dodge!
She evaded a large mass of Dark Cloud, turned, and drew her bow again. "Whoosh—"
The Explosive Arrow, infused with Holy Water, detonated among the swarm of demons, and the concentrated Damage Value illuminated the entire Dock.
Holy Water's damage boost against dark creatures was simply overwhelming.
-7, -75, -68...
Even with her Night Debuff reducing her attributes by half, she could still deal no less than 6 Damage Value. At 1 gold coin per bottle, Holy Water was worth the price.
Glancing at the remaining gold in her backpack and a single set of Holy Water, she gritted her teeth; she had to level up no matter what.
Double Shot!
Two Black Iron Arrows pierced through.
-7, -7
In an instant, two Dark Demons were skewered.
Floating Arrow!
A Dark Demon charged straight at the Floating Arrow, while another one rolled to evade the encroaching Dark Cloud. Pressing against the ground, the archer drew back the bow and shot, "Whoosh—"
Rapid Fire!
-75
The following Black Iron Arrow, infused with Holy Water, struck the head of the demon hit by the Floating Arrow with a puff, sending a gust that pinned it to the ground.
A flash of white light appeared; it was an instant kill.
After testing the Damage Values of Black Iron Arrow under Double Shot, Floating Arrow, and Rapid Fire, there was no need to waste any more Black Iron Arrows. The archer switched to a regular arrow and doused it in Holy Water.
A new round of testing began.
Outside the thick Miasma, the chilling Arrow Tip sliced through the air with a whistling sound, tearing apart the barrier of Miasma to reveal dozens of Dark Demons wrapped within.
Double Shot!
"Puff Puff—"
-5, -5
Critical hits.
Easily dispatching two Dark Demons, the archer then executed a slide kick to dodge three Dark Clouds approaching from the left. With a Longbow in hand, they blocked against a demon screeching from behind and performed a Sweep Kick!
The three monsters on the left were knocked down. At the same time, pulling back the bowstring of the Longbow against their back, they instinctively shot an arrow that embedded itself into the head of the Dark Demon behind them.
-55
Critical Hit.
The demon that was kicked down quickly got back up.
Dark Cloud.
An attack shrouded in a heavy Dark Aura loomed like a cloud. Yan Yan's gaze tightened as she Dodged and began Rolling—
Her body barely grazed the Dark Cloud attack. Before she could regain her footing, a shadow lunged at her, blocking her line of sight. Aiming!
Rapid Fire!
“Whoosh—”
The arrow struck true, piercing the right eye of the approaching Dark Demon, dealing -4 damage.
With a splash of blood, Dark Cloud!
“Ugh—”
-48
Enduring the rising Damage Value, Yan Yan quickly swallowed a Health Potion and executed a Flying Kick!
“Whoosh—”
Explosive Arrow!
The kicked demon, along with the Explosive Arrow, fell into the horde of demons ten yards ahead. “Boom—”
The shockwave exploded, releasing steaming Holy Water, instantly forming a cloud of white mist that continuously purified and dissipated the surrounding dark Miasma. The Monster Horde enveloped in the Holy Water mist erupted with a flurry of Red Damage Value.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp—"
The sharp screech pierced the night, drifting into the distance.
All around the Dock, the Dark Demons received the alert and surged in like a tide.
Seeing the Monster Horde wading in, I couldn't help but curse under my breath.
Why did summoning monsters always create such a commotion?
It seemed that no matter how many times I was reborn, my bad luck with dark hands and faces wouldn't change!
I quickly pulled out the Sulfur Flame Powder and Oil Torch from my backpack, binding them to two arrows for a Double Shot!
"Whoosh—"
The arrows flew forth, embedding themselves in the midst of the demon horde, igniting with eerie blue flames in an instant.
Rapid Fire!
Three vials of Holy Water followed the arrows, crashing into the demons wrapped in blue flames. "Crack—"
The shattering bottles splattered liquid that instantly vaporized into white mist under the high temperature. At that moment, Explosive Arrow!
The arrows, trailing fire, soared through the air and struck another wave of Dark Demons and Monster Horde about to land.
The white mist that had just risen immediately purified and dissipated the surrounding black Miasma. The pitiful cries of the Dark Demons echoed from within the swirling blue flames and white mist.
"Boom—"
The splashes and sparks illuminated the swirling white mist beneath the eerie blue flames, as droplets scattered like pearls, obscuring the demons that rolled and vanished within the dark fog.
The alternating sounds of explosions and screeches filled the air, as the light from Sulfur Flame Powder mingled with orange-red flames. The pure white mist clashed with the sinister black Miasma, while arrows left trails of light and agile figures darted about, creating a dreamlike spectacle at the Dock.
After withstanding several waves of attacks, the Experience Bar surged significantly, leaving just a quarter to reach Level 11.
Only one bottle of Holy Water remained in the backpack.
The Demons crawling ashore began to thin out.
The darkened Indigenous had been mostly cleared.
Gracefully weaving through the purified clearing, the Sulfur Flame Powder outlined an irregular circle in the area.
Arrows flew continuously from the bow, striking the Dark Demons that screamed as they charged toward their enemies.
With rhythmic precision, each scattered demon was pulled in, maintaining an eight-yard distance as they gradually drew closer to the circle.
They entered the circle.
Rapid Fire!
The Oil Torch left a trail in the air, landing precisely on the Sulfur Flame Powder. All the demons caught off guard were instantly trapped by the eerie blue flames, howling as they released black smoke. The purified surroundings were gradually shrouded once more by dark Miasma. Pulling out an arrow, the last bottle of Holy Water was tied to its tip. "Whoosh—"
The footsteps of the God of Light descended!
Divine Revelation—
As the Holy Water vaporized, swirling white mist purified and dispelled the surrounding darkness like a miracle, parting the unseen Dock space. The bright moonlight spilled onto the shimmering water surface and barren ground.
Amidst the horrific screams, a tragic ballad was composed by a wandering bard.
With the final demon's disappearance, the Dark Cloud that had long enveloped the Dock vanished entirely. The surroundings fell silent as white mist continued to spread until it fully seeped into the earth.
The land purified by Holy Water seemed reborn; tender green grass began to break through the soil, charred and yellowing leaves unfurled into vibrant green, and murky river water gradually became clear. Even the air seemed filled with a sacred aroma, breathing in a fragrance that was refreshing and invigorating.
Bending down to pick up all the Iron Plates scattered on the ground, there were a total of one hundred and twenty-two—identity tokens from all the darkened Indigenous.
The heavy weight in her hand was the key to the first ring of the Northeast Trade Route.
The Experience Bar was still 1% short.
Suddenly, a faint rustling sound came from ten yards ahead.
With a push of her left foot, she leaped off the tree trunk, executing a swift maneuver and landing steadily on a branch.
She brushed aside the fresh green leaves and looked down.
A brown deer limped into view, and her eyes widened instantly at the reason for its limp—a silver key.
The Silver Key on the deer's leg was no bigger than a thumb, with mysterious silver patterns glimmering faintly against its brown fur.
This was the key to the elusive Golden Treasure Chest!
Unlike the Silver Treasure Chest, which could be opened with a Universal Key, all Golden Treasure Chests required a Silver Key to unlock. Without the key, finding a Golden Treasure Chest would be useless; typically, keys and chests were not far apart.
This meant there was a Golden Treasure Chest hidden nearby!
Just thinking about the Golden Treasure Chest ignited a fervor in her heart that threatened to drown out her rationality. She took a deep breath, steadying herself.
Aiming—
Her Perception surged to its peak.
The glinting Arrow Tip was aimed directly at the deer's neck.
As if sensing the hidden danger around it, the deer's bright black eyes suddenly darted toward the tree where Yan Yan was hiding. In that fleeting moment of eye contact, the deer turned and bolted!
“Whoosh—”
Rapid Fire!
Black Iron Arrow attacks the deer with the energy that is bound to win. "Puff——" The arrow penetrated deeply into the deer's hind leg, and its attack that nimbly avoided the vital point only brought up an inconspicuous Damage Value. - "Whoosh——" Double Shot! The moment he turned over and got off the tree, the Black Iron Arrow came out of the string. As soon as he landed, the sound of Puff and a cluster of blood flowers splashing out brought a Red Damage Value. -4, -4 Critical Damage. The deer screamed, and a bloody Blood Hole opened on its neck. Three yards away, a bloody arrow pierced the black ground, and a drop of blood fell from its trembling tail.
