“Yes, host!”
“Ding! Your shooting skill has successfully upgraded to level 3!” T/his chapter is updat𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.co/m
Shooting Level 3 (0/100): Master the use of various weapons, from pistols to rifles to bows and arrows, with this skill!
As the system elevated Jiang Hao's shooting skill to Level 3, he instantly felt an impeccable connection between the gun in his hand and himself. It was as if he could wield it as easily as moving his fingers, making feats like shooting an arrow through a hundred paces seem trivial.
Having toyed with the gun for a while, the initial novelty wore off for Jiang Hao. That's when he remembered the map he had seized from Gu Quanzhong. Stowing all his firearms in the System Space, he took out the map for a closer look. Despite studying it for quite some time, Jiang Hao couldn't make heads or tails of the cryptic illustrations, which left him feeling frustrated. He tucked the map away.
?Guided by Xiao Soong, Jiang Hao ventured deeper into the heart of the primeval forest. Time flew by, and before long, he decided it was time to head back.
Suddenly, a subtle sense of danger washed over him, triggering his danger perception instinctively. Xiao Soong, sensing the peril, halted and growled lowly, its gaze fixed ahead with wary caution.
?Jiang Hao's attention was also fixed forward; aside from Xiao Soong's growls, an eerie silence enveloped them, the kind of quiet that sends shivers down one's spine.
?Jiang Hao was about to deploy his Insect Controlling Arts to send insects ahead to scout when a chill ran down his spine. Without a moment's delay, a machete materialized in his hand, and he spun around, delivering a fierce chop!
“Crack!”
As he turned, Jiang Hao caught sight of a massive, sharp vine thrusting towards him. The vine was as thick as an adult's arm. To his astonishment, the severed section of vine writhed as if alive, and from the cut oozed a strange green liquid.
After Jiang Hao severed it, the remaining section of the vine recoiled like a startled snake!
?Before he could even process what happened, he was shocked to see countless vines overhead spring to life, all turning their tips towards him!
They encircled him in an instant, like an army of giant pythons!
Jiang Hao's face went pale the next moment.
The air was filled with the sound of whooshing as numerous wooden vines, like spears, shot towards him from every angle!
Jiang Hao burst forth with all his might, his Mountain-Splitting Knife falling swiftly to slice through the dozens of wooden vines before him as easily as if he were chopping vegetables!
The severed vines, much like the first one he had cut, retracted rapidly!
This provided Jiang Hao with the opportunity he needed!
He gave Xiao Soong a sharp slap and bellowed,
“Xiao Soong, run for it!”
In an instant, Xiao Soong got the message. With a thunderous roar, it sprinted with Jiang Hao on its back towards an opening!
Despite its bulky frame, the bear's speed was no laughing matter!
Meanwhile, the trees around them seemed to be moving backward.
Above, countless sharp wooden vines rained down from the sky, brutally stabbing into the ground!
Jiang Hao shuddered at the sight of the ravaged earth.
Had he been impaled, wouldn't that have been a chilling, heart-stopping experience?
At that moment, the vines appeared to gain intelligence, anticipating Xiao Soong's escape route and moving to block their path!
Seeing this, Jiang Hao didn't hesitate. He leapt from Xiao Soong's back, Mountain-Splitting Knife in hand.
Charging ahead of Xiao Soong, he cut down the intercepting vines one by one, as if they were mere playthings!
