Monsters Are All 'Experts'

Each of the two Velociprey Velociprey can be skinned twice, for a total of four times.

"Obtained the pelt of Velociprey..."

"Obtained the Velociprey's Claw..."

"Obtain the head of the Velociprey..."

"..."

The final result was two Velociprey hides, one claw, and one head. After harvesting, the Velociprey's carcass disappeared without a trace. Staring at the vanished Velociprey, Li Wei frowned.

After entering this mission world, he noticed something somewhat puzzling, but further observation was needed to confirm this hypothesis.

This time, Li Wei led Bao Ling Squad forward, but after walking less than two kilometers, they encountered the monster again.

Yian Kut-Ku, Bird Dragon type!

This is a monster much stronger than Velociprey. What's worse, several Velociprey were gathered around the Yian Kut-Ku. Upon seeing the suddenly appearing Reincarnators, they all screamed and charged over.

"Everyone, be ready to engage the enemy!" Bao Ling's pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints.

This group of people already had some difficulty dealing with a few ordinary Velociprey, let alone with the addition of a Yian Kut-Ku. The Yian Kut-Ku's shell and scales were thicker than those of the Velociprey, its claws were sharper, and it also had an extra weapon compared to the Velociprey.

Tail!

That's practically a steel bar! If you were hit by it, even a strong man with Sharp Axe would probably lose his fighting ability instantly, and it's hard to say whether he would survive.

Everyone in Bao Ling Squad knew that this battle was a matter of life and death.

However, they all simultaneously focused their attention on Li Wei. This card master, even more advanced than Lin Sheng, had his Mud Golem as his most important fighting force. What would he do now?

Li Wei sighed. He wanted to fight the Yian Kut-Ku directly, but since he had said he was a card master, he would use cards to fight.

He took out five cards from his pocket, because the enemy this time was very strong.

There were four puppet cards among them: three Mud Golem and one Water Element. Once released, these fearless warriors intercepted the charging Velociprey.

The last card was the attack card 'Frost,' a level 4 card that Li Wei had crafted in the Illusion Realm, and it came in handy now.

Taking advantage of the moment before the Yian Kut-Ku could charge, Li Wei walked over to Bao Ling and said, "You should have noticed by now that the monsters in this mission world have ridiculously high defense and immunity..."

Bao Ling nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, our weapons are unlikely to harm them much; their minions are a greater threat to us!"

"I have something else to tell you. I don't know if you've noticed, but their movements and reaction speed are also incredibly fast, as if they've trained in martial arts..."

Martial arts?

Li Wei's words left Bao Ling somewhat confused.

Indeed, many reincarnators, including her, rely too much on the convenience brought by various skills, and few are like Li Wei, who once carefully studied martial arts in the mission world.

In terms of martial arts, Li Wei can now be considered a grandmaster. Starting with the Pink Rathian, Li Wei discovered that the attacks of these monsters were extremely powerful.

If they were monsters devoid of intelligence, they would act solely on instinct. In other words, no matter how much combat talent they possessed, their movements would still have some flaws. In Li Wei's words, those would be unnecessary actions.

However, whether it's Pink Rathian, Yian Garuga, or Velociprey, their attacks are extremely powerful, and their movements are swift and decisive, just like a martial artist whose every move has been honed through countless trials.

This is something only someone with a profound understanding of martial arts can see.

Bao Ling was clearly skeptical of the discovery. "No matter how you look at it, they act on instinct. Saying they know martial arts doesn't seem convincing at all, at least not for now!"

Sharp Axe and Lin Sheng, who had noticed the conversation between the two earlier, also came over.

"Li Wei, I admire your card-making skills, but even so, you can't just spout nonsense. Martial arts are something only humans can cultivate, everyone knows that. When I first entered Shadow Street, I also learned basic martial arts to improve my physique, so I should know more than you. To be honest, what you're saying might fool a child, but it's far from enough to fool us!" The opportunity Lin Sheng had been searching for had finally arrived, at least that's what he thought.

This kind of person wants to do everything in their power to belittle others and elevate themselves.

"Lin Sheng, I think Li Wei's words make some sense. When I was fighting those Velociprey in close combat just now, I could clearly feel that their attacks and evasions were all based on certain rules. Maybe it really is martial arts!" Sharp Axe said in a deep voice.

"Stop joking around, what's wrong with you all? Just because this guy is a card master, you're so fond of him? Compared to him, I'm more worthy of your trust. A monster who knows martial arts? What a ridiculous idea! You actually believe such an idiotic theory? I think he's just trying to get your attention. Besides, this person's background is unknown, we can't trust him!" As he spoke, Lin Sheng looked at Li Wei with a provocative gaze. In his mind, this was clearly the best opportunity to strike at Li Wei.

When Lin Sheng first became a reincarnator, he used the points he gained in the initial trial to learn a set of martial arts. He was quite diligent at the time, so he had a certain understanding of martial arts, which was why he dared to speak like this now. After all, in his opinion, Li Wei did not seem like a martial arts practitioner at all.

"Lin Sheng, you shouldn't say that. Although Li Wei isn't one of our team members, at this moment, we are all comrades fighting side by side. If it weren't for him, our casualties along the way would have been much greater..." Bao Ling said sternly. What she hated most was internal disunity. If infighting broke out, they wouldn't need monsters; they would destroy themselves.

"Alright, so you're just fickle. Since you're protecting this person so much, then we'll part ways when we get to the Hunter Village. Bao Ling, I hope you won't regret it later!" Bao Ling's act of speaking up for Li Wei completely enraged Lin Sheng. In his eyes, Bao Ling was the woman he had chosen, but now she was so protective of an 'outsider.' His anger had turned into hatred. He hated not only Li Wei, but also Bao Ling.

Staring at Bao Ling's alluring figure, Lin Sheng's eyes gleamed with lust. He thought to himself, "Once we get to the Hunter Village, I'll find an opportunity to force myself on her. As for that Li Wei... I absolutely cannot let him continue living."

Human nature can sometimes be darker than anything else.

Li Wei, who had witnessed Lin Sheng's entire reaction, smiled slightly. The murderous intent in Lin Sheng's eyes when he looked at him just now, though well hidden, could not possibly escape his notice.

"What an idiot! If you're going to make enemies, isn't showing hostility in this situation just telling others that you're letting them strike first?"

Li Wei was not a coward, especially towards those who wanted to kill him secretly. Li Wei had absolutely no mercy for them. If they wanted his life, then they had to be prepared to be killed by him.

"Anyway, I've told you everything. Whether you believe me or not is none of my business!" Li Wei waved his hand and focused his attention on the battle.

At this moment, one of his Mud Golem had already crumbled under the attack of the Yian Kut-Ku. The Mud Golem, which could put up a fight against Velociprey, couldn't withstand three attacks from a monster of the Yian Kut-Ku's caliber.

The Water Element could hold out for a while, but even their Water Element arrows couldn't penetrate the Yian Kut-Ku's hard shell. The battle had unknowingly turned into a disadvantageous situation.

Looking at Lin Sheng's gloomy face and then at Li Wei's indifferent expression, Bao Ling sighed. She had known for a long time that Lin Sheng was pursuing her, but he was not her type. Li Wei, on the other hand, was much better than Lin Sheng in terms of both ability and conduct.

However, Lin Sheng was a veteran player after all, and Bao Ling felt a headache coming on when she thought about these troublesome matters. Right now, she needed to focus on the battle; these things could wait until later.

The reincarnated members of Bao Ling Squad, under her direction, began their attack.

Because of the presence of the puppets, they don't have to fight these monsters in close combat, so the immediate priority is to eliminate the Velociprey except for the Yian Kut-Ku.

"All ranged attackers, focus all your attacks on those Velociprey! Eliminate them all within one minute!" Bao Ling shouted this command in a distinctly feminine voice, which was indeed very tempting.

It's said that men are charming when they're focused, but actually, women are even more charming when they're focused. This sentence was like a shot of adrenaline, hitting a group of reincarnators so hard that they immediately began their attack according to the beautiful captain's orders.

At the same time, she actually began to carefully observe the movements of those Velociprey to see if, as Li Wei had said, they knew martial arts!

Although the claim was indeed somewhat absurd, Bao Ling somehow found herself believing it to some extent.

Taking out her pistol, Bao Ling immediately unleashed her ranged attack skill, 'Barrage'.

Several gunshots rang out in quick succession, bullets shooting out in bursts. The Velociprey instantly erupted in bursts of fire, some even spraying blood. Most of the bullets, however, landed on the surrounding ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Hiss!" Bao Ling gasped.

After she fired, she carefully observed the Velociprey. They did indeed begin to dodge in the same motion just as the bullet was about to hit their bodies.

All Velociprey are the same; this is definitely not a coincidence.

The same applies to the Yian Kut-Ku fighting the Water Element golem. Every claw strike and tail whip seems to follow a fixed pattern, much like a martial art. Of course, these patterns are not noticeable unless you observe closely.

Swallowing hard, Bao Ling found it unbelievable. Could what Li Wei said be true? Could these monsters really know martial arts?
