The dual moons hung precariously on the eastern horizon.
A barely noticeable white halo appeared, faintly lingering on the horizon.
This was the boundary between dawn and darkness.
At this moment, 99% of people in the world were peacefully asleep in their dreams.
Deep in the dense jungle, the air was wet and the ground was covered in rotting leaves.
A subtle rustling sound persisted.
Ren Zhong crouched low, carefully inching forward.
Three hundred meters ahead, there was a slightly elevated mound.
Beneath the mound lay a Second Level Ruined Beast known as the Gold Slug.
According to the data, it was 1.5 meters long and 0.15 meters wide.
It closely resembled a slug on Earth, but with the difference that its slightly transparent body contained flowing golden liquid metal.
The Energy Level Reaction strength index of the Gold Slug was typically around 100, making it quite sluggish.
Its attack method was also very simple, with only one means of wrapping and engulfing.
Yet it was considered one of the least wanted Second Level Ruined Beasts by the Scavenger Team in Starfire Town to deal with.
This creature’s regeneration ability was truly exaggerated.
Professionals without sufficient attack power can’t quickly kill it. They can only use overloaded attacks to deplete its energy reserve slowly and exhaust it to death.
Hunting a single Gold Slug requires more than five times the usual energy and ammunition, making it a huge financial loss.
But Ren Zhong still came alone, relying on his sticky acid erosion spray, which was his last resort bought from the Military Weapon Store among the thirteen small items last night.
This creature’s ultra-strong regeneration ability was effectively countered by the sticky acid erosion spray.
Before this, he already succeeded in hunting six Second Level Ruined Beasts, basically unscathed.
There was no choice, his combat power had already exceeded that of an ordinary First Level warrior. Coupled with thorough preparation, he employed various cunning tricks that others usually wouldn’t prepare for, taking unscrupulousness to the extreme.
If there were police in the Ruined Beast World, these beasts would surely want to report before they died.
"Tonight’s adventure was quite successful. As long as I deal with the Gold Slug, I’ll have acquired a total of thirteen Second Level Ruined Beast Crystal Chips tonight. Some chips were not dismantled well, devalued, but after deducting costs and a 30% lone wolf sales tax, the total profit would still be close to 150."
Stable as a rock!
As he reached within thirty meters of the mound, the Gold Slug, who was about to rest, finally sensed the uninvited guest.
The mound trembled, the soft mud broke open, and the golden glistening malleable creature charged out from the soil, drawing a winding serpentine curve on the ground.
Ren Zhong remained unflustered, holding the sword in his right hand and the sprayer tightly in his left.
When they were within two meters, Ren Zhong sidestepped, avoiding the slug’s pounce, then twisted around, moved forward, and positioned the sprayer 0.7 meters to the side of the slug.
His left thumb suddenly exerted force!
Spray the self-defense sprayer!
Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss...
The sticky acid erosion spray worth 5 Contribution Points lavished as if it were free.
Upon contact, the slug’s smooth surface, delicate and moist, suddenly showed patches of dark black spots.
On top of the spots, bubbling gurgled intensely, sizzles resounded continuously, and wisps of white smoke rose.
In pain, the Gold Slug could no longer bother to pursue Ren Zhong but instead began to roll on the spot.
Ren Zhong chuckled, as it turned over by itself, which made it convenient.
Spray both sides like cumin powder.
Another fierce spray followed.
Having exhausted the acid erosion spray, Ren Zhong casually tossed the bottle aside and retreated two steps.
At this time, the Gold Slug was emitting wisps of white smoke all over, in immense agony.
Ren Zhong wasn’t in a hurry to collect his reward; he merely observed coldly, planning to act after ensuring the Gold Slug was completely dead.
Just as he was about to idle around and enjoy the show, a sudden vibration erupted beside him.
With heightened vigilance, Ren Zhong instinctively leapt backward face-up, rolling backward three times on the ground before steadying himself.
Upon closer inspection, he realized his plight.
Cheap things are never good!
The sensor on the First Level vehicle motorcycle was inadequate!
Got fooled again!
There were two of them!
Now Ren Zhong had two choices before him.
First, admit defeat, turn and run, abandoning the nearly dead Gold Slug’s Crystal Chip ahead.
