Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 27 The Legendary Shadow Cat
Chapter 27

Rosen confirmed that the hunt had not attracted any other supernatural creatures, and immediately jumped out of the window to retrieve his spoils.

The fur of a pin-eyed squirrel can be used to make shoes that enhance movement, and the pin-eyed squirrel's extraordinary spiritual essence can be used to make skill crystals and other extraordinary artifacts. This pin-eyed squirrel can be exchanged for at least one hundred units of spiritual crystals.

The vast majority of extraordinary beings drop only extraordinary spiritual matter, not extraordinary source matter, after they die.

Because extraordinary source material is based on sequence, only by achieving sequence can extraordinary source material be formed. Otherwise, it is extraordinary spiritual material formed by spiritual solidification, which is slightly better than spiritual crystallization. Only extraordinary creatures that can evolve through sequence will drop extraordinary source material.

Rosen was somewhat disappointed that the hunt for the God-Slaying Crossbow was not triggered this time.

However, compared to the cost, the gains have been enormous.

Rosen continued deeper into the Death Forest, hunting down various small, supernatural creatures resembling pinprick squirrels along the way.

I obtained a lot of extraordinary spiritual energy, but I didn't get a single skill crystal.

Only extraordinary creatures that have mastered the extraordinary sequence will have a higher chance of dropping skill crystals than 10%.

As for the pin-eyed squirrel, a low-level extraordinary creature, hunters have a chance to convert its spirituality into skill crystals when hunting it. However, this chance is no more than one percent. It's not a matter of succeeding once in a hundred attempts. If you're unlucky, you might not even hit that one percent chance even after hunting it ten thousand times.

Rosen only now realized just how lucky he was to get the skill crystal by killing Bennett.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Rosen had already ventured six thousand meters into the Death Forest.

He killed hundreds of extraordinary creatures, and the total value of his prey exceeded 12,000 units of spiritual crystals.

Based on the exchange rate of one to ten spiritual crystals to gold coins, these spiritual crystals are worth 120,000 gold coins.

This wealth was enough to awaken spirituality and give birth to a hundred or so Sequence 9 beings, and such an astonishing gain truly made Rosen uneasy.

Even in the Spirit Realm, extraordinary creatures shouldn't be this numerous.

If spiritual crystals were so easy to earn, it wouldn't be so difficult for ordinary people to become extraordinary, and those at the bottom Sequence 9 wouldn't have such a hard time. In other spiritual realms, encountering three or five extraordinary beings in two days would be considered good luck.

Rosen now understood why the entire group of passengers on the Black Shark had perished.

He wasn't worried about the Black Shark killing people to cover up their crimes and plundering their wealth. What worried him was that the Dead Forest was so lucrative, yet the pirates of the Black Shark hadn't personally ventured into the Dead Forest. Clearly, the dangers there outweighed the astonishingly rich rewards.

Rosen killed another snake-monkey without taking any damage and was about to leave the mysterious study to collect his loot.

However, just as he was about to jump out of the window to leave, the God-Slaying Crossbow, which was on guard and searching for enemies in the jungle, was suddenly shot and destroyed by an arrow.

The last thing Rosen saw through the Hunter God's Eye was an invisible arrow that instantly shattered his God-Slaying Crossbow.

He immediately closed the window and nervously looked outside. A moment later, a figure emerged from the shadows of the dense forest.

This is not a human hunter, but an intelligent being with a cat's head and a human body.

Rosen habitually opened the encyclopedia of extraordinary creatures and quickly found relevant information about this extraordinary life form.

This is a special, extraordinary creature called the Shadow Cat. According to the book, the Shadow Cat has two forms. The first form is a common cat-like shadow form. This form has no physical body, but the Shadow Cat can parasitize the shadow of a human and then transform the human body into a second form with a cat's head and a human body.

This form of Shadow Cat can obtain the extraordinary sequence of the human in life, inherit the human's reproductive ability, and the offspring born are not the first form of Shadow Cat, but the second form of cat-headed human-bodied cubs who are born with the sequence.

If Shadowcats weren't limited to Sequence 7 at most, the danger level of such extraordinary creatures would be enough to be rated as annihilation-level.

Even if the highest possible level is Sequence 7, the Shadow Cat is still extremely dangerous among extraordinary creatures.

Because some humans would capture Shadow Cats, then capture human extraordinary sequences to feed to the Shadow Cats, allowing the Shadow Cats to reproduce in large numbers, and then hunt and kill the Shadow Cat cubs to obtain a large amount of extraordinary source matter. At one time, many human kingdoms raised Shadow Cats in large numbers for the sake of extraordinary source matter.

However, after the extraordinary resources of Sequence 7 were mass-produced artificially, the World Government personally intervened and exterminated all Shadowcats within the human territory.

From then on, human authorities were not allowed to keep shadow cats as pets, and any shadow cats found on the market had to be hunted down and killed.

Rosen now understood why the previous group of passengers had all perished. It wasn't because of what they had gained here. The others didn't have the mysterious study, and they needed a long time to recover after hunting a supernatural creature. Therefore, their gains were not enough to make the Black Shark envious.

The real reason for the murder to silence witnesses was probably that some passengers saw the living Shadow Cat here.

So this group of passengers was also doomed. The Black Shark had no intention of letting them leave alive. From the beginning, it was intended to feed them to the Shadow Cats. The generous meal prepared before entering the secret realm turned out to be their last meal.

"Captain Black Shark, we'll see who gets eaten first."

Rosen sneered, turned around, and used his spiritual energy to re-manifest the God-Slaying Crossbow.

He then took out his paintbrush and began to create some special spiritual paintings that targeted the Shadow Cat's weaknesses.

Five hours later, Rosen, carrying the Godslayer Crossbow, went to the window. He opened the window and threw out the corpse of a supernatural creature. He was certain that the Shadow Cat had not left yet; such supernatural creatures were incredibly patient.

Sure enough, as soon as the corpse was thrown out, a shadowy cat emerged from the shadows not far away.

The Shadow Cat looked at the corpse not far away with suspicion. It had searched the surrounding area many times, but had not found any trace of humans. Therefore, it suspected that the humans had hidden themselves and had not left. The corpse that had appeared now confirmed its thoughts.

The person is in the dark while the cat is in the light, but the human is just hiding and hasn't shown himself?
The Shadow Cat instantly realized that the human was weaker than it, but its ability to hide was extremely good. Just as the Shadow Cat was hesitating whether to call for its clan cat, the corpse of the extraordinary creature not far away suddenly exploded.

The explosion wasn't very powerful; it only tore the supernatural creature's corpse to pieces.

So the Shadowcat simply stepped back a little, but in the next instant, endless light completely illuminated the dark forest.

At this moment, all the shadows around Shadowcat were dispersed by the flashbang, and its eyes were blinded by the light so it could not see anything. It could only release the extraordinary skill of Jungle Blink inherited from human hunters, preparing to blink to a shadowy position and disappear into the shadows.

Just as Shadow Cat was about to teleport away, it suddenly sensed signs of human life not far away.

This slowed down the Shadow Cat, which had been searching for human prey for hours. In that instant of hesitation, six bullets and three crossbow bolts were fired at it. Even more terrifying was that the surrounding flashes interfered with the Shadow Cat's perception, preventing it from noticing the ethereal bullets and crossbow bolts.

As the bullets and crossbow bolts exploded at the same time, the Shadow Cat, which was Sequence 8, was killed instantly.
