Night Huntress Luna

He first pulled the Blood-Burning Arrow out of the skull.

The arrow was wedged in firmly, and combined with being buried for ten thousand years, it took a great deal of effort for Zong Shen to pull it out.

This Blood-Burning Arrow was pitch black from end to end.

Even the arrowhead was black.

It was as translucent as obsidian; when held under the sunlight, one could faintly see a flame constantly flickering inside.

The weight of it in his hand felt substantial.

According to the Strategy Guide, this arrow was quite extraordinary.

When Zong Shen focused his attention on it, a system prompt appeared.

[Cruel Blood-Burning Arrow]

[Quality: Rare]

[Piercing Damage: 999]

[When paired with the Blood-Burning Longbow, piercing damage increases by 50%]

[Attached Skill: Blood Burn]

[Blood Burn: Upon hitting a target, ignites the target's entire blood supply, lasting for 8 seconds and dealing 5% of the target's maximum health as armor-ignoring damage per second]

(Nothing to tell you, just showing up to make my presence known)

This time, the name of the Blood-Burning Arrow was in purple, and it even had the prefix "Cruel."

It was incomparable to the common-quality, white-text "tattered" gear Zong Shen possessed.

When Zong Shen saw the attributes of this arrow, his heart was completely shocked.

999 piercing damage!

What kind of god-tier concept was this!

To give an example, Zong Shen's current health was 122, and his upper-body armor was 13.

In other words, after sustaining 135 points of damage, Zong Shen's health would be depleted, meaning he would die.

999 points of piercing damage could kill 7.4 Zong Shens...

Just like a skewer of candied hawthorns.

Thinking about it this way, Zong Shen felt that this arrow was simply invincible.

There is one more point: arrows and crossbow bolts can actually be recovered.

This includes the bolt that was shot into the eye of the Grassland Wolf earlier, which Zong Shen also managed to retrieve.

It is just that the arrows and bolts suffer some wear and tear every time they are recovered.

Even so, this is still quite good.

After all, this Blood Burn arrow possesses the extremely powerful Power Strike attribute, making it an absolute trump card in Zong Shen's hands.

This means that as long as Zong Shen uses it wisely, he can unleash several attacks of a lethal caliber.

"It's a pity there's no longbow!"

Zong Shen said with a sigh of regret.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

"However, if I were to use this arrow as a short spear to stab people, that should be fine, right?"

Zong Shen seemed to have considered a certain possibility.

(Your idea is feasible, though it will accelerate its wear and tear.)

Without needing him to verify anything, the Strategy Guide immediately appeared to answer his doubts.

Zong Shen nodded and carefully stowed the Blood Burn arrow into his inventory slot, keeping it ready for any unforeseen needs.

Next, he turned his gaze toward the leather backpack.

[Ancient Kodo Skin Backpack]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Capacity: 5/24 slots]

[(Click to open)]

(A backpack made from the hide of a Kodo beast; it has an astonishing load-bearing capacity and is durable, making it an essential item for home and travel.)

This leather backpack was actually a spatial item, and the text was green, representing the Excellent grade.

With a high capacity of 24 storage slots, it could greatly increase Zong Shen's carrying ability.

It would prepare him for long-distance gathering and treasure hunting.

Following this, Zong Shen opened the backpack's storage slots.

There were a total of five items inside.

His gaze swept lightly over them.

The system began prompting him with the acquisitions.

[Opened Kodo Beast leather backpack]

[Mithril ×9]

(Precious mineral resource)

[Elven Key fragment ×1]

(Collect nine key fragments to obtain the Elven Key, which can open the treasury of Azshara)

[Night Huntress recruitment scroll ×1]

(A powerful soldier of the Elven race that has gone extinct; black panthers and women, I believe you will like them)

[Emerald Legguards ×1]

(Decent equipment, much better than the rags you are wearing)

[Moon Well construction blueprint ×1]

(A special building that has gone extinct; possessing it, you will have no worries)

A total of five treasures.

They turned into five shrunken, cube-shaped items, scattered in front of Zong Shen.

Zong Shen transferred them all into his inventory slots.

He began to examine them one by one.

[Mithril]

The font was green.

This represented that it was a fine-grade material.

As for things like Ironwood Stone Hemp, they were all white, common-grade.

This was clear at a glance, nothing much to look at.

Next, Zong Shen looked at that Elven Key.

[Elven Key fragment]

[A part of the Elven race's treasury key]

[Current Progress: 1/9]

The font on this key is actually orange!

The shape looks like a triangular sector, just like a small slice of pizza.

It is only the size of a thumb.

(Orange, Legendary)

Next up, more recruitment scrolls!

[Night Huntress Recruitment Scroll]

[Commune with the great mysterious power to immediately recruit a powerful Tier 3 ranged warrior, the Night Huntress.]

[Occupies 2 Command points]

[Default aptitude is Excellent, level is 10; can be promoted or strengthened later]

[Click to use]

(Congratulations, the Night Huntress is a very formidable character. Jungles and the night are their home turf. Of course, you had better build a Tier 1 thatched hut for her before dark, or she might get angry.)

Every increase in strength now translates to an increase in the speed of development.

Zong Shen would never miss such an opportunity.

He decisively took out the recruitment scroll.

This recruitment scroll is green.

It is decorated with patterns of flowers and plants.

After Zong Shen used it.

The recruitment scroll flew into mid-air.

It transformed into a green orb of light and landed on the empty ground to the side.

The next moment, green light flared, and countless vines grew out from within, forming a large cocoon made of vines.

Once the large cocoon finally took shape.

The vines split open from the middle.

"Roar!"

A massive leopard's roar erupted from within.

It echoed above the meadow.

A huntress wearing light armor, with purple hair and a toned, athletic physique, walked out slowly while riding a black panther, holding a moon blade in her hand.

The black panther had short fur, and one could see muscles full of explosive power all over its body.

The black panther beneath the huntress approached Zong Shen with elegant strides.

Upon reaching Zong Shen.

The huntress vaulted off the panther.

She placed one hand over her chest and bowed slightly to Zong Shen.

"For the great Moon Mother!"

"Night Huntress Luna reporting to you!"

"Great lord, may you be bathed in the light of the Moon Goddess!"

Zong Shen's gaze became a bit more solemn this time.

He nodded gravely.

"Welcome to the fold, powerful Night Huntress Luna!"

"Let us build a territory full of glory together!"

Hearing Zong Shen's words, the huntress smiled slightly.

She led the black panther back a few steps, then maintained a mounted posture.

Compared to when he first arrived.

Zong Shen was now full of interest in this brand-new world.

Relying on the Strategy Module, he could fully realize his dream of being a lord.

After all, who doesn't have a dream of being a lord in their heart?
