Silver Moon Stalker

Silver Moon Stalker!

Upon seeing the figure descending from the sky, Soren realized that the Elf Noble's identity was far more complex than he had imagined. For Quasi-Legendary Professional serving Lady of Silver Moon to come to his rescue, he likely possessed Elven Royal Family blood. Therefore, Soren made a very bold decision in an instant: to steal from the noble. The Elf Noble definitely possessed Legendary- level items; otherwise, the mutated vines wouldn't have been able to hold off the hunters for three whole days.

Soren's attack was incredibly fast!

As a seasoned thief, after knocking the Elf Noble with a single blow, he swiftly retrieved a Bag of Holding and a seemingly unusual, green leaf that he kept close to his body. Soren attempted to flee after obtaining these items, but suddenly a flash of cold light shot towards him from afar!

Slurp!

Soren let out a scream as an arrow pierced his hand, which was holding the Bag of Holding; half of the arrow went through his palm.

The Bag of Holding fell directly to the ground. The arrow's angle was extremely tricky, and the moment he was hit, he lost his strength and couldn't hold onto it. In the distance, the Silver Moon Stalker dodged the Half-Orc's attack, then coldly nocked an arrow and aimed at Soren behind him again. As Quasi-Legendary class, the Silver Moon Stalker possessed the combat abilities of Ranger and could also use high-level priestly Divine Magic, making him a naturally advanced class close to Legendary level.

A druid descended from the sky.

The moment the Elf Longbow was aimed at him, a chill ran down Soren's spine. Without hesitation, he lifted the unconscious Elf Noble and placed him in front of him. The Silver Moon Stalker's expression indeed faltered. With a twist, she shot a hunter in the arm and then charged towards Soren's position. Her charging speed was astonishing, almost leaving afterimages. It was clearly a supernatural ability.

Soren took a deep breath, ignoring the Bag of Holding on the ground, and swiftly stuffed the eerie green leaf into his robes. Then, gritting his teeth, he threw the Elf Noble away and leaped into the shadows. The Silver Moon Stalker hesitated for a moment, then reached out and caught the Elf Noble. After checking his breath and finding he was merely unconscious, she abruptly raised her Longbow to block an attack from behind. She seemed to still want to keep Soren there, but by then he was nowhere to be seen.

--"Hide in Plain Sight."

After entering the shadows, Soren instantly activated his final Hide in Plain Sight, then quickly retreated into Stealth mode, heading forward without looking back.

The druid who just landed was also a high-level Spellcaster!

The Silver Moon Stalker was incredibly skilled, even managing to shoot arrows while parrying attacks. Her slender figure moved with an almost uncanny grace. Every attack missed her by a hair's breadth. This was a remarkably adept Dodge technique, approaching the level of a [Legendary Dodge] Feat. She single-handedly held off five or six hunters.

The roar of a wild beast rang out!

After the druid landed, the weeds on the ground began to grow wildly, blocking the hunter who rushed towards him for more than ten seconds.

Then a gigantic Brown Bear appeared out of thin air, roaring as it pounced, its claws creating a whistling wind. A Half-Orc with a strength exceeding 20 points was actually forced to cough up blood, a gruesome claw mark appearing on its chest, all its ribs caved in. The ferocious Brown Bear let out a deep roar; its weight exceeded one ton, and beneath its tough fur lay thick layers of fat and muscle. Despite being slashed by the hunter, it seemed completely unharmed.

This is a Brown Bear with a CR of 15 or higher, possibly Animal Companion raised by Feral Druid!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Soren leaped through the dense forest, pausing briefly after creating a distance of over a kilometer. He gritted his teeth, snapped the arrow in his hand, and then painstakingly pulled the arrowhead, piercing his palm, from its tip. A hole had been shot through his palm bone. Had it hit any other part of his body, it would likely have passed right through him. The Silver Moon Stalker, who served the Lady of Silver Moon, were extremely difficult to deal with; they were like lower-ranking Chosen, possessing extra powers bestowed by the Deity.

Lady of Silver Moon's faith is widespread among many races, Elf are one of her primary sources of followers!

My palms trembled slightly.

Soren gritted his teeth and applied some potion. Then, he stealthily flew Stealth again. With a Silver Moon Stalker and a High-tier Druid, it wouldn't be easy for the hunters to kill the Elf Noble. The strength of the two sides was not much different, because most of those who could advance to Silver Moon Stalker were professionals with a total level of 18 or above, and even those who had not entered the Legendary Domain would not be too far apart. Soren had to take advantage of this moment to create enough distance and then find a way to completely shake off his opponents.

Silver Moon Stalker possess the abilities of Ranger; their tracking skills are almost as good as those of Rogue!

Soren fled.

After pulling away for more than twenty kilometers, he took a short rest and then took out the strange green leaf.

If this wasn't Legendary Equipment, it wouldn't have been worth the risk for him to steal it!

It's well known that the Silver Moon Stalker are notorious for holding grudges. Most of them are female Elf with long lifespans and excellent memories, so offending them can easily lead to retaliation and a long period of pursuit.

Soren attempted to appraise the item, but unexpectedly, a row of information appeared:

"Identification failed!"

"Would you like to use Soul Energy to appraise the item?... Appraisal requires 3000 Soul Energy points!..."

"How is that possible?!"

Soren's face showed a hint of shock, followed by a look of delight. He always succeeded in appraising Legendary- level items [Elemental Crystal) ] on his first try, yet this green leaf before him had failed, and even prompted that it required a full 3000 points of Slaughter Experience to appraise. This was something he had never encountered before. Could it be that the leaf he had stolen was beyond the level of Legendary Item?

That's unlikely!

Legendary are considered Artifact. A Artifact is unlikely to be carried by an Elf Noble, and Artifact has extremely strict limitations. It possesses a force field of law-based energy, making it impossible for someone to handle it casually. Most Artifact will cause harm if handled carelessly, potentially leaving you severely injured and near death. Even Legendary Rogue would only dare touch them after activating their Versatile Hands.

"Pay for Slaughter Experience."

Although he didn't know what the green leaf in his hand was, Soren still chose to spend his Soul Energy without hesitation, sensing that the leaf in front of him was definitely not simple.

A beam of emerald green light appeared!

As if bursting forth with powerful Hit Points, the wound on Soren's hand healed at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye.

The bloody hole in his palm had completely disappeared; the wound left by the arrow had healed completely.

A row of documents then appeared:

Item type: Leaf of Life [Unknown]

Item Level: [Elven Holy Relic]

Item Description: A leaf passed down from the mythical era, originating from an unpredictable ancient being. It contains a powerful Hit Points, though a portion of that power has already been used.

Equipment requirements: None.

Equipment effects: Cure Critical Wounds (1 time/day), Barkskin (3 times/day), Legendary Plant Animation (0/1).

Effects: Permanently increases Constitution by 1 point, Hit Points by 10 points, and grants the Regeneration Feat. [Note: This item cannot increase Constitution above 25 points!]

Elven Holy Relic?

Soren remained relatively calm when he saw the accompanying Divine Magic, but his face lit up with surprise when he saw the final effect.

Because what he possesses is an extremely rare item that can permanently boost attributes!

There are very few things in this world that can increase attributes, and even fewer that can further increase them on top of extraordinary attributes. Although there are some extremely rare items that can raise attributes to around 20 points, there are probably fewer than ten items in the entire world that can further increase extraordinary attributes beyond 20 points.

A faint Spell Aura appeared!

Soren's expression suddenly changed drastically. After putting away the Leaf of Life, he fled forward at top speed.

Someone used Spell to locate this item!

Any item of Legendary or higher possesses a special energy. Their past owners could use Spell to locate them. The most representative examples are Artifact and high-level Legendary Item. These items all have special markings, especially Artifact are the easiest to locate using Spell. Sometimes, they even attract the interest of the highest Deity.

Soren hesitated for a moment.

Then he took out the Leaf of Life again, stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word, and swallowed it.

I've already eaten it, so I don't believe you can still locate it with Spell!

At the foot of the mountain.

The druid stared grimly at the Elf Noble before him. The hunters had already retreated; they were not confident they could kill a powerful Silver Moon Stalker plus a High-tier Druid.

Snap!

The Spell Aura vanished from the druid's hand, and with a cold expression, he slapped the Elf Noble across the face, swelling his cheek. He said in a deep voice, "The Leaf of Life has been used!"

"You actually dared to sneak it out! Come back with me to see His Highness the Archdruid!"

The Silver Moon Stalker's tall figure walked to a pool of blood. She picked up some blood-stained dirt, smelled it, and then turned around, saying, "Should I track that guy down?"

The druid bowed slightly in respect and said slowly, "If possible, please bring him back."

"The energy of the Leaf of Life is still within him."
