Chapter 37

At first, Ling Jiu was thinking of sounding them out . If the two dug the pit just for hunting Direbeasts, they would not kill him since he had only fallen into it accidentally .

But now…

Ling Jiu had disappeared from the pit .

“Where is he?”

“Where has he gone?”

It shocked the stubbled man and the skinny man . The next moment, they felt the ground under their feet trembling .

Following immediately, earthen spikes jutted out, piercing at them like lightning .

“Not good! He is an Earth-type Arcanist!” The skinny man’s expression changed . “Quick, Brother Wang!”

“Get the hell out of my sight!”

The stubbled man hissed as he stomped his foot on the ground . The earth stopped trembling and the earthen spikes disappeared instantly . He was an Earth-type Arcanist, too .

“Thanks, Brother Wang!”

The skinny man said . But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the sky suddenly turned dark . He looked up at once and saw a giant hand smashing down at him .

“Brother Wang, help me—”

Boom!

The giant hand came down quickly and smacked the stubbled man before he could react to it . Amid the sound of the cracking of bones, the two died an instant death .

Ling Jiu reappeared . With the snap of a finger, the osmium giant hand turned into a quicksand, rose and surrounded him .

The stubbled and the skinny men lay dead on the ground, all bones crushed, bodies nearly smashed into meat pies by the osmium giant hand .

“Trash! You two were just looking for trouble, trying to kill me with such a level of strength!”

Ling Jiu spat, then found a stick to rummage through their bodies . It did not take long before he found two Dimensional Bags .

“Heck! Even if these two Dimensional Bags are empty, I will still gain!”

Ling Jiu took out a tissue paper and wiped the blood from the Dimensional Bags . After taking a glance, he broke out in a smile .

These were intermediate-class Dimensional Bags with a thousand cubic yards of storage space . Each of them was filled with the corpses of various Direbeasts .

Besides, there were many other things, too .

“How many people these two guys have robbed?” Ling Jiu lamented . He tucked away the Dimensional Bags . Those contents could wait . His priority was the Class 3 Direbeast .

…

Two days later, Ling Jiu climbed to the top of the Taibai Mountain, which was the destination of his trip .

That was right .

His target was none other than the Void Falcons that he had hunted before .

These Direbeasts could fly at high speed and traverse the void, extremely difficult to catch . But he just could not resist them—they were valuable .

The corpse of a Void Falcon worth 150 million dollars .

This would be the most valuable Class 3 Direbeast Ling Jiu had ever hunted .

“Combining the use of the Gravity Arcana and teleportation, I may stand a chance to hunt the Void Falcons . It is worth one hundred and fifty million dollars! How could I not give it a shot?”

2

Yup .

Another arcana of Ling Jiu was teleportation, which was a Dimension-type Arcana . This special ability allowed Ling Jiu to appear in another place in the blink of an eye . It was the third arcanum that Ling Jiu cloned .

8

That meant, until now, Ling Jiu already possessed four arcana, namely Shadowform, Earth Manipulation, Gravity, and Teleportation .

2

He came to the spot where he last hunted the Void Falcons, put the bait in place, then quietly concealed himself .

What he was doing right now was the same as last time . The only difference was, he had to hunt on his own this time .

The chilly gale was howling past the mountain, making the temperature plummet to its lowest point at the peak . Ling Jiu was hiding in the snow, lying in wait patiently . Half an hour had passed and there was still no trace of any Void Falcon .

“Damn it! There is not a soul here, and it is freezing cold here!” Ling Jiu shivered . “I will have to take a break if there is no Void Falcon in half an hour!”

1

Five minutes .

Ten minutes .

And twenty minutes had passed .

Just when Ling Jiu was running out of patience, shrills were heard coming from the air .

1

Ling Jiu’s heart missed a beat as he looked up and saw a Void Falcon appear in the sky .

It had obviously spotted the bait on the peak and was now circling in the air, unwilling to leave .

The competition in nature was fierce . Animals risked their lives to hunt for food . They were rarely choosy when it came to food, and would not give up easily . So when this Void Falcon spotted the bait on the peak, it of course did not want to pass it up .

“Come down! Come down, baby!”

As if Ling Jiu’s prayer was answered, the Void Falcon finally descended after circling in the air for a while . It folded its wings and landed in front of the bait, then tore the corpse of the Direbeast with its sharp beak . It was obvious that the bird was hungry .

“This is the time!”

Ling Jiu would not want to miss this opportunity . He willed in his mind and a gravity force six times the normal force engulfed an area of 20 yards in radius .

Yes . It was six times of gravity force .

After becoming a Level 3 Arcanist, Ling Jiu could control as high as six times the gravity force, which was a lot more terrifying than before .

The Void Falcon staggered on its feet . It wanted to spread its wings to balance itself .

The next moment, a shadow appeared .

It was none other than Ling Jiu . He held a sharp alloy dagger in his hand and stabbed it into the eye of the Void Falcon at lightning speed .

As he pulled out the dagger, the blade was covered in blood .

The dagger had pierced through the eye with blood splattering everywhere .

The Void Falcon shrieked in pain and flapped its wings violently . Agitated by the sharp pain, it wanted to fly away from this place .

It could escape death as long as it could fly . But in an environment where the gravity was six times higher, flapping the wings was hard enough . Let alone getting away .

Squish! Squish!

After being stabbed a few times, the Void Falcon stopped struggling, becoming motionless, quiet, and dead .

“Woo-hoo! One hundred and fifty million dollars!”

Ling Jiu clenched his fists in excitement .

This was easy!

This was pleasurable!

This was how money was made!

How he wished he could play a disco song to vent his excitement . But he knew that this was not the time . This was just the beginning . The real challenge had yet to come . He needed to hunt more Void Falcons .

Ling Jiu tucked away the body of the Void Falcon, covered the blood, then went into hiding again . He had a good start . Next, he wanted to keep the momentum going .

Half an hour .

One hour .

A second Void Falcon came as expected .

“Six Times of Gravity Force!”

“Teleportation!”

Squish!

He killed the second Void Falcon .

“Three hundred million dollars!”

“One more time!”

1

The night fell without him knowing . After working hard for a day, Ling Jiu came out to the peak to take in some fresh air, then went underground again .

With no intention of leaving the mountain tonight, he dug a hole in the ground and spent the night there . Tomorrow would be another Void Falcon hunting day .

He had brought a waterproof cushion and a sleeping bag, good enough for him to spend a night here .

“I have hunted four Void Falcons today . Not half had at all!

“Together with the two intermediate-class Dimensional Bags earlier, I am making a gain of one billion dollars!

“One billion? What a coincidence!”
