Chapter 78 Don't Look at the Sun
"This way of choosing would definitely cause him to miss out on some high-quality blessings, but it was still better than wasting the opportunity to choose."
"The 60 seconds quickly passed, and the members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group gained an additional 8 purple, 42 blue, and 29 white blessings."
"Adding those to the two Three-humped Wolf Camels they had killed earlier, along with the beasts Sadie had taken care of along the way, the total number of blessings had already surpassed a hundred."
"The enhancements to strength, speed, stamina, and reflexes were increased by 97%, 113%, 139%, and 85%, respectively."
"The significant increase in attributes brought Ma Lu a renewed sense of security; his only regret was that among so many prey, not a single Golden Blessing had burst forth."
"Afterwards, he flipped through the 8 Purple Blessings he had obtained."
"Since he hadn't used the 'work plan' yet, these 8 blessings were quite varied, encompassing all types."
"Ma Lu didn't react much when looking at the first few, but as his gaze landed on the last Purple Blessing, his eyes suddenly sharpened."
"Then, he hurriedly called out, 'Everyone, listen, don't look at the sun!!!'"
"In the end, he added solemnly, worried that the others might not realize the severity, 'Absolutely, absolutely don't look at the sun! You'll go blind!'"
"But before his words finished, he heard a hunter scream in panic."
"'I! I can't see!!! What's going on?! Why can't I see anything!'"
"[Bright Light Blindness: In battle, those who directly look at the sun, whether friend or foe, have a 33% chance of entering a blinded state for 10 seconds]"
"Field-type blessings, yet again a field-type blessing."
"This time it was Ma Lu's fault; he was too quick to act, and in his haste to choose, he accidentally picked a field-type blessing."
"Fortunately, it was still relatively easy to avoid looking at the sun, provided one was willing to listen."
"Anyway, Boggy and the others had been with Ma Lu long enough to understand immediately upon hearing what he said."
"As for everyone else, they could only hope for the best."
"Ma Lu had already warned them, twice no less, fulfilling his duty to inform."
"After saying that, he then reassured the blinded hunter, 'Stay calm, don't move, you'll be able to see again after 10 seconds.'"
"However, the hunter, suddenly struck blind, had fear climbing to its peak in his heart and completely ignored what others were saying." Continue your journey on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net
"He wildly twisted the handlebars, driving the motorcycle haphazardly out of the convoy and ended up charging straight into a Rockskin Rhinoceros."
"The violent collision flung him from the bike, casting him directly into a crowd of beasts."
"Ma Lu mourned the unlucky fellow in his heart for three seconds and then suddenly thought of something and said to Seta."
"'Let me drive, you make your Sand Soil Puppet come out.'
"'Okay.'
"Seta didn't ask why; the repeated battles had already instilled in him the good habit of trusting Ma Lu, so he promptly switched places and then created a Sand Soil Puppet."
"The imposing Sand Soil Puppet immediately attracted the attention of numerous beasts as soon as it appeared."
More importantly, it was over three meters tall; when ordinary beasts looked at it, they had to raise their heads, and as soon as they lifted their gazes... the chances of seeing the sun naturally increased drastically.
Thus, the Sand Soil Puppet turned into a blinding machine, whoever stood before it was blinded.
Regrettably, its movement speed was not fast enough, and if the distance was too great, Seta could no longer control it, leaving it to revert back into yellow sand.
However, in such situations, Seta could simply craft a new one.
The appearance of the Sand Soil Puppet greatly relieved the pressure on the back of the team. Ma Lu continued to flip through other blessings while driving, among which the more useful ones included
[Headshot: Team members have a 33% chance of aiming at the target's head when making long-range attacks.]
[Quenching Poison: There is a 33% chance that team members' attacks on poisoned targets will also carry a poisoning effect, which lasts for 15 seconds.]
[Great Shield Strike Blessing: When team members use shields to attack, there is a 33% chance of causing the target to enter a stunned state, which lasts for 1 second.]
[Now You Conduct Electricity: Designates a target, increasing their electrical conductivity by 400%, cooldown time 1 hour.]
[Splitting Arrow: Team members have a 33% chance of splitting off another attack of equal power when making long-range attacks, hitting the enemy unit closest to the target.]
Among these, [Headshot] and [Quenching Poison] were already familiar friends, and the remaining [Great Shield Strike Blessing] was somewhat similar to the dragon knight's dragon tail sweep, both carrying a stunning effect.
[Now You Conduct Electricity] was an auxiliary divine skill for electric psychic power users, with no damage in itself, but once this debuff was applied, throwing in a skill attack could deal four times the damage.
In the end, Ma Lu still chose [Splitting Arrow] to activate the effects of the work plan.
The reason was simple, the squad was about to enter the city, and they could hide behind the city walls for ranged output; in such an environment, ranged professions were definitely easier to deal damage and had more security.
Seeing that there were only 500 meters left to the city gate, those Bloodsucking Tail Weasels were finally startled and swarmed over.
Their combat power was inferior to the Two-Headed Hyenas, but once bitten, they would latch onto the prey like leeches, not letting go until they had drained the target's blood, even if their heads were chopped off.
Moreover, their numbers were a bit too great, with at least a hundred, and faces of Wang Zhen and the others turned solemn upon facing them, all bracing themselves as if facing a formidable enemy.
Only Ma Lu was eager to try; he was already planning to make his move, but at that moment came the sound of hinges turning from Gate 3, and the heavy iron gate slowly opened to both sides.
The nearby beasts, seeing this, temporarily abandoned their pursuit of the survivors outside the city and scrambled to rush inside.
However, what awaited them was a blazing inferno that descended from the sky, its domineering flames seeming intent on consuming all in heaven and earth!
Then a burly figure emerged from the Sea of Flames.
A cheer went up among the crowd, "It's Wei Cha, the leader of Flame Tooth from the Giant Curtain!"
Flame Tooth was an old-established Golden Hunting Group from the Giant Curtain, and its leader, Wei Cha, was a fire attribute psychic power user. His psychic powers were formidable, though not comparable to Mai Mai's Electric Field, but they had the advantage of being reusable and longer-lasting.
Gate 3 had opened five minutes ahead of the original schedule, marking the emergence of hunters from inside the city to the rescue.
Apart from Flame Tooth, there were two other hunting groups, totaling nineteen people, all of them high-level experts.
Even though the Golden Leopard had just appeared below the city wall, there were still brave souls who dared to venture out of the city to rescue the trapped, unafraid of the Golden Reaper's fearsome reputation.
And upon seeing those rescuers, many hunters beside Ma Lu wept with joy, even Hulk and Methe had joy written all over their faces, feeling as if they had narrowly escaped death.
Only Ma Lu's heart sank; he thought, is this guy planning to steal the kill?
Those hundred-plus 2-star Bloodsucking Tail Weasels had already been reserved by him, just waiting for them to rush over to begin a massive harvest, but as soon as Wei Cha and his group showed up, the Bloodsucking Tail Weasels turned tail.
