When a personal territory reached the middle stage of development, if the game did not change much, many survivors would definitely choose to start farming.

After all, compared to fighting monsters for resources, farming was indeed a more stable way to develop, with at least no risk to one's life.

Of course, farming also required a large amount of land.

"Still, farming doesn't suit me. Let's see if they need them."

Han Xing opened the Discussion Group and asked directly, "Guys, want some seeds?"

Cheng Jianyong: "Seeds? I want them, I want them! Send me a copy, quick!"

Shen Yun: "Whose are they? Send me a copy too."

Han Xing: "..."

"They're Wheat Seeds. What are you two thinking about?"

After hearing that, the two of them sighed in disappointment.

Cheng Jianyong: "Sigh... I thought I'd get to see those classic masterpieces in this world too."

Shen Yun: "Yeah... I'd been looking forward to it for so long."

Han Xing was speechless. "Do you want them or not?"

Cheng Jianyong: "No. My place is barely the size of a palm. Even taking a dump would count as high-altitude littering. There's no room to farm at all."

Shen Yun: "Me neither."

"Fine."

Han Xing closed the Discussion Group interface.

The floating island continued onward.

This time, Han Xing targeted another cloud about the same size as the previous one.

The System Prompt said, "There are signs of multiple creatures moving inside. They seem to be guarding something."

"Hm?"

Han Xing keenly noticed that this System Prompt was different from before.

Multiple creatures meant there was more than one monster inside. As for what they were guarding, it was likely some precious material—or perhaps a treasure chest outright!

It's worth taking a look!

Han Xing drew his bowstring and prepared for battle.

This time, however, things were different from before. He held two iron arrows between his fingers.

Skill: Dual Shot (Can fire two arrows at the same time. After activation, the skill has a five-second cooldown.)

Han Xing focused completely. At a time like this, he would not let his guard down in the slightest.

When the cloud dispersed, three long green figures appeared within.

Each of them was over two meters long, their log-thick bodies covered in green scales.

Those physical traits made it clear that they were three pythons.

Jungle Green Serpent (One-Star Creature)

Level: 2

Strength: 7, Agility: 8, Spirit: 5, Constitution: 6

Skills: Charge, Neurotoxin

Three one-star creatures with two skills each had appeared at once.

This was the strongest group of enemies Han Xing had faced since coming to this world!

The moment the three pythons saw Han Xing, they immediately coiled their bodies before launching themselves forward like springs.

"Hisss!"

The green pythons let out low hisses. Han Xing could even see their gaping bloody maws, along with the two curved fangs in their upper and lower jaws.

Han Xing did not panic. Instead, he aimed at his targets.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Dual Shot skill activated, and two iron arrows flew from his hand at the same time.

One Jungle Green Serpent was instantly pierced through by an iron arrow, while another was struck in the tail.

"Hissss!!!!"

After being hit, the two Jungle Green Serpents immediately reared up their heads and let out pained hisses.

But one python still broke through the blockade, crossing several meters in an instant and leaping onto Han Xing's territory.

Han Xing frowned deeply.

This was the first time he had allowed a monster to rush into his territory. The situation was somewhat critical.

He forced down the fear in his heart, drew another arrow from his backpack, and prepared his second attack.

The Jungle Green Serpent had high Agility. Even with the backpack equipped, Han Xing was only barely able to match it.

Next Moment, the green python twisted its agile body and lunged swiftly at Han Xing. Less than two meters remained between man and snake.

Han Xing took a deep breath, his gaze locked tightly on the green python's open mouth.

Then, before he could fully draw the bow, the Fine Iron Arrow flew from his hand.

"Pfft!"

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and Han Xing's face lit up with joy.

He clearly saw that the arrow had struck the green python's throat, entering through its mouth, piercing its windpipe, and then passing straight through its body.

Armor Piercing!

Precision!

Both effects triggered at once, and coupled with the hit on a vital point, the damage from that arrow was off the charts!

The green python suffered heavy damage, its huge body thrashing wildly across the ground.

In the blink of an eye, after hitting that Jungle Green Serpent, Han Xing did not pause for even a moment.

He drew another arrow and aimed at the two Jungle Green Serpents that had already been struck by his Dual Shot.

At that moment, they still wanted to imitate the first python and charge onto Han Xing's territory.

Han Xing immediately fired.

Thud!

The iron arrow nailed the fastest-charging Jungle Green Serpent through the head, bringing its advance to an abrupt halt.

With his Agility increased and the longbow's Precision effect, Han Xing's accuracy had improved dramatically.

Now, both Jungle Green Serpents had been severely wounded by his arrows and lost their ability to fight. As for the final one, there was naturally no longer any suspense.

After the battle ended, the System Prompt appeared.

Killed Jungle Green Serpent LV2*3. Gained Experience Points 60. Your level has increased. Current Level: LV2

"Level up!"

Han Xing clenched his fist, somewhat excited.

He felt a surge of strength well up from within his body, improving all of his attributes.

After checking his panel, he saw that his Agility had increased by 2 points, while Strength, Constitution, and Spirit had each increased by 1 point.

For a Hunter, Agility was the most important attribute. With the backpack's bonus included, it had finally broken into double digits.

"Time to deal with the spoils..."

Han Xing walked over to the corpses of the three Jungle Green Serpents and began dismantling them one by one.

Successfully dismantled 'Jungle Green Serpent Corpse'*3. Recovered Fine Iron Arrow*7. Obtained One-Star Snake Skin*3. Obtained Snake Meat 58 kg. Obtained Venom Gland*3...

The drops from the green python corpses were fairly ordinary. The 58 kilograms of Snake Meat brought his food reserves back to a full state, but the three Venom Glands at the end caught Han Xing somewhat by surprise.

Venom Gland: Special material. It seems to be some kind of alchemy material. It can also be directly applied to weapons, granting them the Neurotoxin effect.

"Interesting."

Han Xing looked at the three dark bluish-green Venom Glands on the ground, each one as large as a fist.

The description stated that they could be directly applied to weapons. In other words, his arrows could also gain a poison effect.

Poison arrows dipped in shit—whoever got hit would die.

After dealing with the three Jungle Green Serpent corpses, Han Xing turned his gaze toward the floating island in the distance.

It was a three-by-three-meter platform, and at its very center sat an ancient bronze-colored treasure chest.

"Bronze Treasure Chest!"

Han Xing cried out. He felt that his luck was pretty good.

Still, with three level-two Jungle Green Serpents serving as guards, finding a Bronze Treasure Chest inside was only to be expected.

Han Xing walked up to the Bronze Treasure Chest and excitedly rubbed his hands together.

"This is my first time opening a treasure chest. Bless me, RNG gods—let me get something amazing!"

"Blueprints, weapons, equipment, anything!"

With an excited heart, Han Xing opened the treasure chest.

A dazzling array of materials appeared before him. Beneath them, Han Xing spotted a white book!

Obtained Spirit Core*5, Fine Iron*9, Rare Earth*11, Drinking Water 300 ml, Holy Light Healing (Priest-exclusive)

"Holy crap! It's actually a Skill Book!"
