Chapter 37 First Kill of Tier 2!
The congealed blood clots glued the dark brown fur together into hard scabs.
But the intense dizziness still made the hunting cat pant heavily, its muscles twitching uncontrollably.
Even so, the hunting cat did not fall asleep.
It lay cautiously on the ground.
The ears twitched sensitively, trying to catch the information carried by the wind...
Cha-cha-cha—
In the quiet woods, faint footsteps reached the ears of the hunting cat.
It suddenly stood up from the ground, then slowly poked its head out from the crack in the rock and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Whoosh!
An arrow came flying straight at you.
The hunting cat suddenly pulled its head back, and then heard a "clang" sound in its ear.
The arrow embedded itself in the rock beside it, its fletching trembling violently.
"roar!!!"
With a startled roar, the hunting cat leaped up from the pile of rocks.
Whoosh!
Another crossbow bolt came flying, but the hunting cat dodged it with a twist of its body.
Upon seeing Shen Mo and Wei Dongming approaching without anyone noticing, the hunting cat instantly bristled.
The moment he landed, just as he was about to push off, the wound on his hind leg, which had not yet healed, suddenly split open, causing him excruciating pain.
At the same time, the dizziness returned, causing the hunting cat to slip and fall off the rocks.
Whoosh!
The sound of arrows piercing the air was like a death knell.
The hunting cat felt a sharp pain in its spine, and a sudden fear of death gripped its heart.
"roar--"
With a roar, the magic within the hunting cat surged, temporarily suppressing the dizziness and pain.
As if springs had grown under their feet, they leaped three or four meters high from the spot, darting out from the pile of rocks like they were flying over rooftops.
But the hunting cat didn't attack Shen Mo and Wei Dongming. Instead, it suddenly darted into the bushes, trying to escape!
"Chase!"
Shen Mo switched to his longsword and gave chase.
Wei Dongming changed his whistle arrow as he ran and shot it in the direction the hunting cat had fled.
A piercing whistle rang out.
Upon receiving the signal, Shi Lan immediately ran towards the direction of the whistle.
After running a few steps, a yellow shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
Roar!
The hunting cat, not expecting anyone to be behind it, let out a low growl and pounced on Shi Lan.
Upon seeing this, Shi Lan was not surprised but delighted, and picked up his axe to chop at the enemy's face.
Earth-Splitting Slash!
The axe blade suddenly glowed with a bluish light, which terrified the hunting cat, who immediately tried to dodge.
However, Shi Lan swung his battle axe both quickly and steadily.
The hunting cat tried its best to dodge, but was still chopped in the neck by Shi Lan's axe.
The hunting cat, nearly three meters long, was sent flying backward by a single axe blow from Shi Lan.
While the body was still in the air, blood gushed out of the wound on the neck like a bucket of water!
"What a waste of your skin!"
Shi Lan grinned maliciously and charged at the hunting cat once more.
The hunting cat was terrified and ran away as soon as it landed.
Under the shadow of death, the hunting cat unleashed astonishing speed.
But after running only a few steps, he was blocked by Shen Mo and Wei Dongming.
roar~
The hunting cat's roar was no longer powerful; instead, it was mixed with blood and fear.
Seeing the hunting cat charging towards him covered in blood, Wei Dongming stepped forward without hesitation, shield in hand.
Left-hand shield ready, facing the hunting cat.
The right-hand Void Slash was already brewing.
The next moment... Bang!
With a loud bang, Wei Dongming was sent flying by the hunting cat's claw before he could even unleash his Sky-Piercing Slash.
The person was suspended in mid-air, looking bewildered, as if questioning the meaning of life...
Seeing this, Shen Mo's gaze sharpened, and he immediately abandoned his plan to confront the hunting cat head-on.
A cornered beast will fight to the death; a direct attack is not advisable. A clever strategy is the best approach!
Sprint!
Shen Mo activated his sprint and charged towards the fleeing hunting cat...
Wei Dongming's obstruction was not entirely useless.
At this point, the hunting cat had lost an unknown amount of blood and was also in a state of poisoning.
He was barely clinging to life with magic, making his last struggle.
Wei Dongming's block, however, caused the Hunting Cat to lose its temper.
Weakness, dizziness, pain... a host of negative symptoms suddenly struck.
Their movements are no longer swift, and their reactions are no longer quick.
Shen Mo is not only in great shape, he also has a cheat code!
In "The Demon Hunter's Notebook", Shen Mo saved a full 10 points of combat skill enhancement.
While encircling and killing the hunting cats, Shen Mo spent 9 points to enhance the Zombie Movement Technique to the level of mastery!
[Stasis Movement 0/5 (Mastery)]
This not only makes the range, area, and effect of the zombie spell released by Shenmo greater.
It also reduces the mental and magical energy consumption and casting time of the Silent Movement spell!
Just as Wei Dongming was being knocked away, Shen Mo was preparing the zombie walking technique.
The spell was ready, and Shen Mo raised his hand to cast it on the area where the hunting cat was located.
Amidst the subtle fluctuations of magic, a faint light flickered in the area where the hunting cat was located.
It felt as if I was being pulled by invisible hands.
The hunting cat's movements slowed down instantly, becoming stiff and rigid like a machine...
The fear of the unknown and death made the hunting cat's fur stand on end!
Shen Mo rushed to the front of the Hunting Cat. In the Hunting Cat's fear of the unknown, he spotted the wound on the Hunting Cat's neck that Shi Lan had slashed, gripped the knife with both hands, and swung it forcefully at the same spot.
Sky-Piercing Slash!
The chilling blade flashed and disappeared in an instant.
The long blade pierced into flesh and blood, its G-grade sharpness allowing it to smoothly slice through rubber-like tough muscles and strike the hunter's hardest bones!
The hunting cat opened its blood-red maw as if about to roar.
But the next moment...
bang——
Amidst the dull, metallic scraping sound.
The hunting cat's enormous head spun and detached from its neck.
Steaming hot blood gushed from the severed neck, and the lithe body collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The Tier 2 monster "Hunting Cat" has been added to the roster, rewarding you with 2 points of Constitution attribute enhancement!
[You have hunted 1 hunting cat, rewarding you with 1 skill enhancement point!]
......
Will I gain 2 points of Constitution enhancement for killing a Tier 2 magical beast?
Upon hearing the hint from "The Demon Hunter's Handbook," Shen Mo was overjoyed.
With these two physical enhancements, he can attempt a second sublimation.
It was worth the 9 points he spent on skill enhancement; he was determined to secure the first kill on the Hunting Cat!
Wei Dongming, who had just gotten up from the ground, witnessed Shen Mo beheading the hunting cat and opened his mouth in disbelief.
He had no idea what had just happened.
How could the Hunting Cat have been killed by Shen Mo simply by falling down and getting back up?
While Wei Dongming was still confused, Shi Lan also ran out of the bushes.
Upon seeing the hunting cat's corpse lying in a pool of blood, and Shen Mo standing there with a knife in hand, Shi Lan's eyes widened instantly, and she instinctively said:
"Shen Mo, you...you killed him?"
"Hmm." Shen Mo wiped the blood off the knife. "Luckily, Lao Wei blocked that beast and bought me a chance, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to do anything."
"...Because of me?"
Wei Dongming stood up from the ground and glanced at the shield in his hand.
Seeing the deep claw marks that almost pierced the shield, I felt a little better knowing I had also contributed...
Seeing this, Shi Lan didn't think anything of it.
This wasn't the first or second time that Shen Mo had surprised her.
Killing a heavily wounded and poisoned second-tier magical beast isn't much... probably...
After all, this young man cannot be judged by common sense...
After a short rest, the three of them worked together to dismantle the hunting cat's carcass, removing its brain, claws, fur, and other valuable parts.
Then, carrying their belongings, they returned to the place where they had just hunted the pheasant troop.
Shen Mo never mentioned that he used the zombie movement technique.
He was simply someone who had never shown any talent for spellcasting before.
However, after just one night, he was able to unleash the zombie movement technique.
This is too shocking.
Therefore, Shen Mo felt that unless absolutely necessary, it would be best to remain hidden for a while longer...
