When personal territories develop to the mid-stage, if the game doesn't change much, many survivors will surely opt to switch to farming mode.
After all, compared to fighting monsters for resources, farming is a far more stable development route, with no life-threatening risks.
Of course, to farm, one needs a lot of land.
"Well, farming isn't my style. Let's see if they need it."
Han Xing opened the discussion group and directly asked, "Brothers, anyone need seeds?"
Cheng Jianyong: "No, my place is so small I'd break the law just going to the bathroom, let alone having space for farming."
Shen Yun: "I don't need them either."
"Alright."
Han Xing closed the discussion group.
The floating island continued moving forward.
This time, Han Xing set his sights on a cloud similar in size to the previous one.
The system prompted: "There are signs of multiple creatures inside. They seem to be guarding something."
"Huh?"
Han Xing quickly noticed that this system prompt was different from before.
Multiple creatures meant there were more than one monster, and the thing they were guarding was likely some precious material, or maybe even a treasure chest!
He decided to check it out!
Han Xing drew his bowstring, preparing for battle.
But this time was different; he held two iron arrows between his fingers.
[Skill: Double Arrow (Can shoot two arrows simultaneously. After activation, the skill has a five-second cooldown.)]
Han Xing was fully focused. At times like this, he couldn't afford to be careless.
As the cloud dissipated, three long, green, snake-like figures appeared.
Each of them was over two meters long, with thick, log-like bodies covered in green scales.
Their physical traits made it clear: they were pythons.
[Jungle Green Python (One-star creature)]
[Level: 2]
[Strength: 7, Agility: 8, Spirit: 5, Constitution: 6]
[Skills: Charge, Neurotoxin]
These one-star creatures had two skills, and three of them appeared at once.
This was the strongest wave of enemies Han Xing had faced since arriving in this world!
The moment the pythons saw Han Xing, they immediately coiled and sprang toward him like compressed springs.
"Hissss!"
The pythons let out low hisses. Han Xing could even see their wide, gaping mouths and the curved fangs in their upper jaws.
Han Xing remained calm, aiming his target.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Double Arrow skill activated, and two iron arrows shot out simultaneously.
One of the jungle green pythons was instantly pierced through, while another was struck in the tail.
"Hissss!"
The two injured pythons immediately howled in pain, raising their heads in agony.
But one python broke through, leaping several meters in an instant, landing on Han Xing's territory.
Han Xing frowned.
This was the first time a monster had reached his territory, and the situation was urgent.
Suppressing his inner fear, Han Xing quickly drew another arrow, preparing for a second wave of attacks.
The jungle green python was highly agile. Even with his backpack equipped, Han Xing barely matched its speed.
In the next moment, the python twisted its flexible body, swiftly closing the gap between it and Han Xing to less than two meters.
Han Xing took a deep breath, his eyes locked onto the gaping mouth of the python.
Then, without fully drawing his bow, he released the iron arrow.
"Thud!"
The sound of the arrow piercing flesh reached his ears, and Han Xing's face lit up with joy.
He had clearly seen the arrow hit the python's throat, piercing through its mouth and exiting the other side.
Armor-piercing!
Precision!
Both special effects triggered simultaneously, and coupled with a critical hit, the damage was off the charts!
The python was heavily wounded, its massive body thrashing violently on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Han Xing didn't hesitate after hitting the first python.
He quickly drew another arrow, aiming at the two green pythons he had previously injured with his Double Arrow skill.
At this moment, the two pythons were still trying to follow the first one's lead and reach Han Xing's territory.
Han Xing fired immediately.
Thud!
The iron arrow nailed the head of the fastest-moving python, stopping it dead in its tracks.
With his agility stats boosted and the precision effect of his longbow, Han Xing's accuracy had improved significantly.
Now, with both remaining pythons heavily injured and unable to fight, the last one was no longer a threat.
After the battle, the system prompt appeared.
[You have killed Jungle Green Python LV2*3, gaining 60 experience points. Your level has increased.]
[Current Level: LV2]
"I leveled up!"
Han Xing clenched his fists, feeling excited.
He could feel a surge of strength flowing through his body, with all his stats increasing.
Looking at the stats screen, his agility increased by 2 points, strength by 1 point, and both constitution and spirit by 1 point each.
For a hunter, agility was the most important stat. With the bonus from his backpack, he finally broke into double digits.
"Time to handle the spoils…"
Han Xing walked over to the three green python corpses and began disassembling them one by one.
[You have successfully disassembled 'Jungle Green Python Corpse' *3, recovered iron arrows *7, obtained one-star snake skins *3, obtained 58kg of snake meat, and acquired poison sacs *3…]
The loot from the python corpses was standard. The 58 kilograms of snake meat filled his food reserves once again, but the three poison sacs were a pleasant surprise.
[Poison Sac: A special material, possibly an alchemy ingredient. Can also be directly applied to weapons, adding a neurotoxin effect.]
"Interesting."
Han Xing looked at the three dark green, fist-sized poison sacs on the ground.
It indicated that he could directly apply the poison to his weapons, meaning his arrows could also be coated with poison.
This would truly be deadly—whomever he hits will surely die.
After dealing with the three python corpses, Han Xing turned his gaze to a floating island in the distance.
It was a 3m by 3m platform, and right in the center sat a bronze treasure chest.
"Bronze Treasure Chest!"
Han Xing exclaimed, feeling that his luck wasn't too bad after all.
Given that three level 2 jungle green pythons guarded it, finding a bronze treasure chest here made sense.
Han Xing approached the chest, rubbing his hands in excitement.
"This is my first treasure chest. Lucky god, bless me! Please give me something good!"
"Blueprints, weapons, or equipment would be great!"
With excitement, Han Xing opened the chest.
Inside, he saw an array of materials, and beneath them, he spotted a white book!
[You have obtained spirit cores *5, iron *9, rare earth *11, 300ml of drinking water, Holy Light Healing (Cleric Exclusive)]
"What the heck! It's a skill book!"
