Chapter 6: Seems Like Cheating
The other person hadn't finished speaking when Han Xiaodao was startled, having already leveled up to Level 10.
Beep: Congratulations, task "Hunter's Path" completed.
Task: Hunter's Path.
1: Reach Level 10. (Completed)
2: Have your own weapon. (Completed)
3: Non-consumable skill bar, Basic Skills Introduction. (Completed)
Beep: Congratulations, you have become an adult hunter, reward: skill bar, Experience: 30.
Task: Hunter Trial.
Hint: You are now an adult, but only a hunter in name. You must hunt alone and bring back your prey to become a true hunter.
Reward: Unlock level cap, receive additional rewards based on prey quality.
Failure: Become a slave.
"Hmm!" The middle-aged hunter scratched his head, a bit confused. He paused, pointed at Han Xiaodao and Slutty Mouth, and said, "You two are now adults; tomorrow morning, go for the trial. In the Wugubu Tribe, there are no cowards."
This made Han Xiaodao breathe a sigh of relief, phew, phew.
"Can't slack off anymore? Haha, poor guy, with such a weak mindset, let's see how you survive tomorrow." Slutty Mouth snorted and walked away proudly.
He must prepare well; he has to return alive tomorrow.
He indeed has reasons to survive.
Han Xiaodao looked helpless, still wanting to slack off to improve his divine techniques. His combat skills were also about to level up; it seemed like there was no time left.
(Han Xiaodao): Wugubu Tribe Adult Hunter: Level 10. Experience: 102 (Can't level up). Life: 98%.
Skill 1: Blank. Skill 2: Blank.
Basic Life Skills, Stone Weapons, Spear Manufacturing (Introduction) 1%.
Basic Combat Skills: Basic Spear Introduction, 96%.
Divine Techniques: Dead Bone Revival Skill (Introduction 0%). Evolution Consumption: 100 Experience.
Woah, the experience surpasses a hundred? How did it go over a hundred?
He slapped his forehead, almost forgetting, the task completion also rewarded experience.
Without hesitation, he leveled up his divine techniques.
Divine Technique: Dead Bone Revival Skill evolved to White Bone Revival Skill.
White Bone Revival Skill: Use Secret Bone Powder to revive a Level 10 White Bone Skeleton, or use Ordinary Bone Powder, leading to a lower level, reviving a Level 5 Dead Bone Skeleton.
Han Xiaodao was delighted, Ordinary Bone Powder was easy, while the Secret Bone Powder, he had only obtained with much difficulty, running around for over a day.
With some preparation, early the next morning, Han Xiaodao headed towards the exit.
The Wugubu Tribe was located within a canyon, with only one exit. Han Xiaodao stopped because on both sides stood two tall and menacing willow trees, each hanging dreadful human head fruits, twisting, greedily eyeing the two, drooling.
Human Head Willow, Level ???
Staring at the weakest heads.
Cannibal Head: Level 10, Skill: ???
"Hmph!" Slutty Mouth also arrived, snorted haughtily at Han Xiaodao, not bothering to say more.
After waiting a while, the middle-aged hunter came over.
He took out powder and sprinkled it on the two, saying, "The effect lasts for three days. If you miss three days, you can only wait at the entrance, absolutely no forced entry allowed."
"Of course, if you don't come back before nightfall, it will be hard to return."
Beep: You are covered with mysterious witch medicine, the Human Head Willow won't attack for three days.
Beep: Task: Hunter Adulthood Trial, hint, you have three days to complete the task.
"Go now!"
The two strode off.
"Coward, don't die, no one will taunt me if you do, I'll miss that." Slutty Mouth added before leaving.
Han Xiaodao rudely flipped him the bird.
Staying cautious, Han Xiaodao, with no one around, carefully surveyed the area. It was quite barren, with plants not very lush and some growing peculiarly. He then stretched out his hand, revealing a high-end imported telescope.
Carefully scanning the vast surroundings.
This world's prey was evidently abundant, and not far from the tribe's entrance, he found a large and two small Gale Rabbits grazing, the large one weighing at least forty pounds, completely white.
This big guy was definitely Level 10, right?
No, the other two small ones were also Level 10, while this one.
Elite Gale Rabbit: Wild Beast, Level 10.
Skill 1: Wind moves the grass. Skill 2: Gale Speed.
Hint: A rare evolution among common Gale Rabbits, but also one of the hardest wild beasts to hunt, often serving as a Level 20 Elite Hunter's trial target.
"I'll go with you."
Han Xiaodao's eyes lit up, cautiously approaching.
As he got closer, the Gale Rabbit glanced his way, giving him a look, then went on quickly munching the grass.
"Noticed me?" Han Xiaodao was surprised, incredulous.
At this distance, a naked eye could only see a small dot. Without the imported telescope, he wouldn't have spotted it at all.
Every few bites, that Level 10 Gale Rabbit glanced at Han Xiaodao, no doubt, he was discovered.
"Not escaping means you're doomed."
With a wicked smile, once again confirming no one was around, Han Xiaodao took out a sniper rifle.
Yes, a sniper rifle.
Unbelievable, huh.
But actually, some countries sell them if you have the money, though only Han Xiaodao could carry it safely back.
Once used Personal Space to make money, gaining some worldly knowledge, but that was all in the past.
Now he aimed the scope directly at its head.
Bang!
With one shot, the head exploded.
Whoosh!
A white shadow flickered, and the Gale Rabbit vanished.
Han Xiaodao rubbed his eyes in disbelief; all three were gone!
Impossible, right? That was too fast?
My god.
Not giving up, he looked again and was overjoyed.
The foolish creature had crashed into a tree over twenty meters away, twitching uncontrollably, astonishingly not dead yet.
Han Xiaodao immediately dove for it.
Due to the distance, he reached it panting.
Still alive?
Picking up the wooden spear, he stabbed its head repeatedly.
Suddenly, a hot surge flowed into his body, feeling like a raging fire.
Beep: Congratulations for slaying an Elite Gale Rabbit, gained Experience: 500.
Beep: You used the Stone-tipped Wooden Spear to kill a Level 10 Elite Gale Rabbit, Basic Spear Introduction, 96%, proficiency increased, proficiency elevating...!
Ultimately, the Basic Spear skill reached Minor Achievement, 96%, a full level upgrade.
No way, painstakingly eating meat for a day's training only gave eleven experience points, and killing a rabbit equal to over a month's hard training?
Han Xiaodao was completely stunned by the experience.
However, just this one piece of prey couldn't fit in the Personal Space.
No choice, too much stuff inside.
Forget it, better finish the task first, this prey should be enough, right?
Seems like hunting is unavoidable from now on.
Immediately disguised the prey's wounds!
Huh, what's this? A cyan diamond?
Wind Crystal: A crystal stone containing a hint of Wind Element.
Hint: The chance of obtaining greatly increases on a first hunt.
"This thing! What's the use when brought to reality?" Han Xiaodao boasted directly.
Picked it up, heavier than expected, over fifty kilograms maybe.
Just then, he heard a sound and quickly looked over.
