Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 26 Jungle Hunting
Chapter 26

Instead of rushing into the Death Forest, Rosen summoned the God-Slaying Crossbow, which hovered beside him.

He took out a spiritual painting of an eagle, a painting that he was not capable of creating with his current abilities.

However, by combining his Nen abilities, he successfully drew a Nen beast, the eagle, that could materialize.

Nen abilities can create Nen beasts with low-level intelligence. As long as one doesn't consider giving Nen beasts special Nen abilities, simply condensing Nen beasts is not a difficult task for a hunter with 100% affinity for all Nen types.

In addition, he borrowed the artist's spiritual essence, directly incorporating spiritual energy into the painting while he was painting.

In this way, with only a Sequence 9 level, he has successfully painted living, spiritual creatures.

Rosen had also tried to create a mythical eagle spirit beast directly to assist in reconnaissance, without relying on spiritual paintings.

However, the distance between the spirit beast and himself is limited. His current spirituality is six points, which is after digesting the spirituality boost from the hunter job change sequence in the past two days. Even so, the God-Slaying Spear and Crossbow cannot leave him by more than sixty meters, and the spirit beast cannot leave him by more than one hundred and twenty meters.

However, by incorporating the spirit beast into the spiritual painting, the control distance increases dramatically to six thousand meters.

This is because the manifestation of spiritual paintings is naturally connected to the spirit world. Otherwise, the painter would not have been able to transform the painting into a spirit realm at Sequence 6. Therefore, the painted spirit beast eagle is naturally connected to the spirit world and can easily extend the control distance by dozens of times.

As the eagle flew out of the painting, Rosen activated the Hunter's Eye and imprinted a spiritual mark on the eagle.

In this way, the eagle and the Hunter's Eye share vision, allowing Rosen to see everything the eagle sees through the Hunter's Eye.

The eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, beginning its reconnaissance of a radius of six kilometers.

No other extraordinary beings were found along the coast within a 6,000-meter radius. It was clear that, according to the time of entry, everyone was scattered around the island, and only those who entered the vortex together as a team could possibly gather together.

In this situation, there's no need to worry about conflict; you only need to face the dangers of the secret realm itself.

While using the eagle for reconnaissance, Rosen discovered a new use for the God Computer.

Because of the shared vision of the eagle, and the fact that the main god computer can project onto his eyes, he can record everything the eagle sees through his own eyes, and then continuously replay it through the main god computer's player.

A good memory is not as reliable as writing things down, as human memory is prone to errors.

Now, everything the eagle detects can be recorded and played back repeatedly for careful study.

After all, an eagle can only exist for twelve minutes, and within a radius of six kilometers, one can only catch a fleeting glimpse of it.

So the moment the eagle disappeared into the sky, Rosen projected the video recorded by the main god's computer onto his eyes, just like AR reality, making him feel like he was there visually. Soon he discovered several extraordinary creatures not far from him.

Although Rosen had a general idea of ​​his objective, he did not immediately venture into the Death Forest.

Because the vegetation here is so dense, even the eagle could only explore less than one-fifth of the map. No one knows how many dangers are hidden in the remaining four-fifths. Even from the one-fifth that he could see clearly, he could hardly analyze the strength of these extraordinary creatures.

So after much consideration, Rosen decided to take the mysterious study step by step.

Approaching a large tree, Rosen reached out and pressed his hand on it. Nine seconds later, a door appeared on the tree trunk.

Rosen entered the mysterious study and went to the window. He opened the window and released the God-Slaying Crossbow that was hovering beside him. He manipulated the God-Slaying Crossbow to shuttle back and forth within a radius of sixty meters, searching not only for extraordinary creatures but also for extraordinary plants.

Even if the God-Slaying Crossbow is discovered by a supernatural being while it is in stealth mode, he can instantly retrieve it.

Although the God-Slaying Crossbow can only travel sixty meters from the body, and although the dense forest is full of plants that obstruct vision after ten meters, Rosen can still use the Hunter's Demon Eye to mark insects with spiritual symbols, allowing him to explore a wider area. Therefore, even while in the Mysterious Study, Rosen can explore a radius of at least one hundred meters at a time.

Once he was sure there was no danger around, Rosen jumped out of the window and instantly put away the mysterious study.

He advanced ninety meters and then opened the mysterious study again, repeating the same exploration steps to eliminate all dangers.

Repeating this process continuously, it took Rosen half an hour to reach a depth of over 500 meters in the Death Forest.

However, he could already see the supernatural creature resting in the tree from the window, but he could not accurately judge its strength as it looked like a squirrel.

The familiar appearance meant he had seen it before. Rosen took out several picture books of extraordinary creatures commonly found in the Principality of Blazing Shadow from his storage backpack.

Needle-Eyed Squirrel: An Extraordinary Creature

[Level: Sequence 9]

[Skills: Needle Eye, Lightning Dance]

[Hunting Guide: The Needle-Eyed Squirrel can move at high speed through the jungle with lightning-fast steps, then flick the hardened fur on its tail, piercing the enemy's eyes like a needle in an instant. Be careful when facing the Needle-Eyed Squirrel...]

"This book was definitely worth buying!"

Rosen nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the detailed hunting guide.

Of course, he didn't believe everything. The strategy guide was static, but the pinprick squirrel was dynamic. In actual combat, no one knew what unexpected things might happen. So, the hunting strategy guide could only be used as a reference. He still needed to carefully accumulate practical experience.

Rosen, holding the Godslayer crossbow, aimed at the pinhole squirrel, firing the crossbow and bullets in volley, followed by the bolts.

Using the Nen technique of "Hidden", the bullet is in a state of invisibility and stealth.

The bullet flew with very little noise but at a very high speed. After all, the bullet, which was in a state of invisibility, would not encounter such strong air resistance. So the moment the bullet left the barrel, it was already a foot away from the eye of a pin and a squirrel.

However, at such a rapid speed, the pinhole squirrel moved its body in an instant with flashes of electricity under its feet.

The bullet, originally aimed at the body, hit the squirrel's buttocks instead. The subsequent explosion only caused minor injuries to the squirrel. Enraged, the squirrel immediately flicked out a few hairs from its tail to intercept the crossbow bolt.

However, the interception failed; the energy contained in the crossbow bolt was at least ten times that of the bullet.

The advantage of bullets is their high rate of fire and ease of hitting the target, while the advantage of crossbow bolts is that they deal much more damage than bullets.

Seeing that its interception had failed, the needle-eye squirrel stepped on lightning to try and avoid it.

However, the crossbow bolts automatically targeted and relentlessly pursued the enemy, forcing the Needle-Eye Squirrel to repeatedly fling out its tail stingers and use its extraordinary abilities. This was a considerable burden on the Needle-Eye Squirrel's intelligence. Although the crossbow bolts were destroyed, the Needle-Eye Squirrel began to pant slightly.

However, more bullets and crossbow bolts were fired from the mysterious study through the window.

The pinprick squirrel was being chased and could only run through the jungle. However, it was no match for the bullets. Faced with the constant explosions of crossbow bolts, the pinprick squirrel's tail quickly became bald and it could no longer destroy the crossbow bolts. Finally, a crossbow bolt got close and stuck into the trunk of a tree next to it.

The spiritual energy contained in the crossbow bolt exploded instantly, and the needle-eye squirrel's body was instantly ravaged and torn to shreds.

Even as it breathed its last, the pinhole squirrel couldn't find its enemy.
