The silver moon hung in the sky, scattering moonlight and illuminating the dark earth.
In the forest near the city, a handsome young man with black hair was leaning against a tree trunk. He was biting a compressed biscuit. There were several wounds on his camouflage uniform and many bandages on his body.
His eyes shone brightly as he looked through the bushes in front of him at the open space in front of him.
There, the body of a human adventurer fell, a large hole in his neck, fresh blood flowing out. There was also a hole in his abdomen, revealing his white bones. The bloody smell of his internal organs and blood could be smelled.
As for the predator, it was a huge golden rat. It was at least a meter long and had a strong body that was enough to scare a child.
This golden rat had long and thin incisors that were like sharp swords. It opened its mouth and kept biting human flesh.
" An adult Treasure Rat, a Grade 1 monster, a characteristic of the race. It likes to collect treasures and has special senses, but it's extremely manic and can't be raised. It doesn't have magic.
Since she eats alone, it means that there are no other species nearby. Moreover, her left leg moves slowly. She should have been injured and might have been rejected by the group. She also likes to shake her butt when she eats. Could it be a female…"
The black-haired teenager bit into the compressed biscuit and swallowed it into his stomach. He slowly muttered to himself as he observed the treasure mouse, as if he was examining the difference between the two.
As an ordinary person, he might be crushed by the other party's front teeth if he fought against such a huge rat. He would end up like this adventurer and become food in the monster's stomach.
In the wild, one would either kill demons or be eaten by them.
It was a simple ecological law.
When he finished the last bite of the biscuit, he looked at the Treasure Rat, which was still eating while being alert around, and smiled.
The black-haired youth groped around his waist and took out a slingshot. He loaded it with steel balls and aimed it at the Treasure Rat in the distance. He slowly pulled it back.
Whoosh!
With a loud sound, the steel ball instantly shot out and hit the left leg of the Treasure Rat. It made a cracking sound as if it had broken its leg bone.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
A painful and angry cry rang out. The Treasure Rat quickly twisted its body and dragged its injured body. Its eyes searched in the darkness and soon found its target.
A human!
The treasure mouse was stunned for a moment. It realized that it did not sense any powerful aura from the other party.
In other words, a weak human dared to sneak attack it!
Damn it!
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The Treasure Rat was a manic monster, and it was extremely easy for it to enter a state of madness. Since the other party was not a powerful existence, it was prepared to pounce on the other party and eat its head.
Therefore,
The Treasure Rat opened its front legs, and its huge body charged towards the black-haired youth like a chariot. Its ugly and cruel eyes emitted a scarlet light in the dark night, like the greed of a demon.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The wild wind whistled, and the Treasure Rat's body swayed. However, its speed was extremely fast, and it directly charged over.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The black-haired youth continued to shoot the steel balls with his slingshot, but this time, the Treasure Rat, which had been prepared, dodged it.
Although its left hind leg was injured, the Treasure Rat relied on the flexibility of its forelimbs to dodge and quickly close the distance between the two.
The night grew darker and darker. Dark clouds began to gather in the sky, blocking the moonlight as if an eternal night was coming.
The black-haired youth looked at the approaching Treasure Mouse, but he did not panic. Instead, he put the slingshot back on his belt and picked up a dagger. He said softly,
“5……”
The dagger was only 30 centimeters long. The treasure mouse saw the other party's movements, but it did not stop.
In its knowledge, this human could not hurt it. It would be like the human just now, blocked by its hard fur for a few seconds before biting open the other's neck and killing him in one blow.
After all, most enemies would subconsciously ignore her hard fur and eventually be killed by it.
In reality, its skin was just tough and had a spike-like fur barrier. It was not really invulnerable. If one did not find the right position, it was indeed not easy to pierce through and it was easy to be killed.
“4……”
“3……”
“2……”
The Treasure Rat's body flickered and it had already rushed in front of the black-haired youth. Its huge body suddenly stomped on the ground and leaped high into the air. Its slender claws were aimed at its head, ready to kill.
However, when it was only half a meter away, the black-haired youth suddenly smiled and said with a mocking expression,
“1！”
"Fire Crow, spit out fire sparks!"
Smart hunters often appeared as prey!
"Gagaga!"
On the branch of the tree he was leaning on, a figure appeared from the shadows. A fiery red crow suddenly flapped its wings and flew down, opening its beak.
Buzz!
A large amount of fire flickered, and it spat out sparks that looked like charcoal that had exploded after burning. They flooded toward the Treasure Rat.
Pa!
Although the intense sparks did not have any direct killing power, a large number of sparks shot into the Treasure Rat's face and instantly burned its eyes. Moreover, a large number of sparks spread, causing the fur on its body to start burning.
Sizzle!
A single spark could start a prairie fire, and the sparks could also ignite the rat's fur. The sweeping flames enveloped the Treasure Rat, causing it to lose its ability to think and its body to become sluggish.
"Go to hell!"
The black-haired youth also made his move at this moment. He stabbed his dagger into the Treasure Rat's eye and stirred it with force, crushing its brain.
The Treasure Rat fell straight down from the sky. When it landed on the ground, the ground began to sink, and it fell into the trap that had been set up long ago. The bamboo thorns pierced through its body, which had lost the protection of the sharp thorns and fur, and completely wiped out its vitality.
"Gagaga!"
When the red Fire Crow in the sky saw this scene, it flapped its wings excitedly and spat out sparks from its mouth, wanting to get close to the youth.
"Silly fool, stay away from me. Are you trying to set me on fire?”
The black-haired youth laughed and scolded. He lowered his head and looked at the treasure mouse that was still burning but had already lost its mobility. He heaved a sigh of relief.
He did not remove the trap and take out the spoils of war. Instead, he reached out his hand and said softly,
"System, steal its talent!"
The moment he finished speaking, the world in front of him began to change, as if the river of fate had opened.
An indescribable and indescribable hand descended, as if carrying fate and time and space, enveloping the Treasure Rat.
Kakaka!
The Treasure Rat's body quickly shriveled, and its golden fur lost its luster, turning into weeds.
The large hand in the River of Fate grabbed lightly and directly grabbed out a palm-sized golden ball of light. It flickered with a faint fluorescent light, and a small golden mouse could be vaguely seen in the middle. A panel also appeared.
Treasure Perception (One Star Talent): The Treasure Rat's racial talent was to be able to sense the aura of treasures that were not blocked within a certain range. Moreover, the luck value of wealth increased, so they liked to collect wealth and hide it in their own caves.
"Do you want to solidify your treasure perception talent?”
"Congratulations to the host for completing the novice mission: Steal ten monster talents. Progress: 10/10!”
"The novice mission has been completed…Congratulations on obtaining the novice gift pack!”
