Online Game: Lord Of The Wheel Of Destiny

Seeing that Wu Gang did not dare to engage, Tian Feng snorted coldly, "Close combat? Do you think he can last 10 seconds in front of us?"

After speaking, Tian Feng turned around, leading his team toward the marked location provided by Wu Gang.

It wasn't until the Falcon Squad left that Wu Gang and the others let out a sigh of relief.

"So arrogant!" Du Lei pouted, rolling his eyes. "Captain, you tricked them by saying that guy specializes in close combat. That was brilliant—enough to disgust them. But… why are they trying to kill that expert?"

Wu Gang shook his head. "How would I know? However, the Falcon Squad is Black Tortoise's elite squad. This should be their newly formed Fifth Team. I've heard that every member of their new team has quite the background…"

"I have a feeling they might not be able to kill that person," Shan Shan suddenly voiced her thoughts.

Although the Falcon Squad was strong, they had seen that person instantly kill three Giant Power Black Apes with their own eyes.

Falcon Squad probably couldn't pull that off.

Wu Gang sighed. "Hard to say. That person actually has a fatal weakness—his weapon."

"Last night, when I recalled his combat scene, I suddenly realized that after he instantly killed two Black Apes, he needed to retrieve his darts to attack again."

"And a team like Falcon, which has both offense and defense, fighting five against one, wouldn't give him the chance to retrieve his darts once they've been thrown."

The group pondered their captain's words and felt that it did make some sense.

"How about we follow them and take a look? It's a good chance to witness Falcon's strength." Du Lei suddenly suggested.

Wu Gang looked at his team and saw the eager looks in their eyes.

"I mainly want to see that mysterious man's strength." Shan Shan said. "That guy is probably younger than us—how can he be so strong?"

Wu Gang was also intrigued. After some thought, he said, "Well, we've already killed two today and completed the mission. Let's go take a look."

———

Jiang Kai was on his way back, and just thinking about the unexpected gains this time made him feel particularly cheerful—perhaps he was now a big step closer to raising enough money for his brother's medical expenses.

"So many items. I wonder how much they'll sell for."

Currently, Jiang Kai's biggest goal was to make money. The wishes of a poor man are just that simple.

Passing by a small stream, he took off his gloves and washed them in the water.

These gloves had probably been sitting in the treasure chest for who knows how long—they were filthy and stinky. After a good wash, they finally looked brand new.

Strangely enough, the gloves didn't even need drying. When Jiang Kai put them back on, steam rose from the surface of the gloves, and they dried in no time.

"As expected of fire-attributed gear."

Jiang Kai originally thought that since he had cleared this path yesterday, having killed several Black Apes, the chances of encountering more apes would be much lower. Relaxing his vigilance while cleaning his gloves, he did not expect that just as he straightened up to leave, four Giant Power Black Apes suddenly leaped out of the jungle behind him.

The smile on Jiang Kai's face froze instantly.

These four Giant Power Black Apes were all earth-type, their backs covered with thick rocky armor. Each stood over 3.5 meters tall—fully matured Black Apes.

"Seriously? Why are there so many Black Apes again?"

Very quickly, Jiang Kai realized his mistake.

This was the wild.

Any area without established main cities would have countless beasts. Even with teams hunting nonstop, the number of beasts here showed no sign of decreasing.

"I got careless!" Jiang Kai widened his eyes, silently cursing himself for his moment of negligence.

Unfortunately, the giant apes weren't going to give Jiang Kai any time to regret it. The four Giant Power Black Apes pounced on their prey simultaneously.

At the critical moment, Jiang Kai immediately pulled out Chasing Nine Tribulations.

Just as he gripped a dart, flames suddenly erupted on its surface, enveloping the dart.

Jiang Kai had no time to admire the new effect of his weapon. While sprinting quickly, he seized the moment and hurled the dart with force.

"Critical hit! Critical hit!" Jiang Kai prayed in his heart.

The first throw did not trigger a critical hit, but the flame-wrapped dart caused an unexpected explosion upon contact with its target.

Immediately after, the four apes' bodies were ignited at the same time. As they ran, a faint red flame spread across their bodies.

"The glove effect causes ignition… and it's area-of-effect?" Jiang Kai finally realized.

Unfortunately, the first dart did not crit. With Jiang Kai's strength, without a crit, he was merely scratching the apes' backs.

Even the flames seemed to be faint and unstable…

The adult Black Apes leaped over ten meters in a single bound. Seeing that they were about to catch up, Jiang Kai grabbed his second dart.

Just as he was about to throw his next Pursuit, the weak flames on the four apes' bodies suddenly surged.

Visually, it was as if their bodies had exploded in a violent blaze. They were instantly engulfed in flames, turning into four massive fireballs.

The four apes let out miserable shrieks one after another before crashing from mid-air.

Because of their leap, they landed just a short distance behind Jiang Kai.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Kai froze with the second dart still in his hand, completely dumbfounded.

"What the heck…" Jiang Kai's eyes widened, and his body stiffened.

After a long hesitation, with the system kill notifications already passing by, Jiang Kai finally shouted in realization.

"I got it."

"Ignite causes continuous damage, and the continuous damage inherits Chasing Nine Tribulations's critical hit chance—and it also inherits my Super Critical."

The first dart's crit rate was 10%. Although not high, once the ignition takes effect and deals continuous damage, each tick also has a 10% crit chance. With enough burning, one crit was enough to finish them instantly.

"Holy crap! This is unbeatable!" Jiang Kai said, his face full of disbelief.

He then stared at his gloves in awe.

The exact attribute bonus of the gloves no longer mattered—just this ignition area-of-effect effect alone made these gloves a divine weapon for Jiang Kai.

The only regret was that the four Black Apes' corpses were now charred. What Jiang Kai obtained were merely "Charred Giant Power Black Ape Corpses"…

The hides couldn't be skinned, and he could only salvage a few bones, which greatly reduced their value.

However, the 800 experience points made up for some of the economic loss.

Jiang Kai's experience now totaled 1320 points, just 1880 points away from leveling up.

"Area-of-effect attacks are awesome. If I encounter an Elite Black Ape again, I can deal with it on my own." Jiang Kai said excitedly.

Previously, Jiang Kai's success in obtaining the Elite Black Ape treasure chest relied largely on luck, but with the unidentified gloves, he was now capable of soloing Elite Black Apes.

Thinking of this, Jiang Kai immediately changed his plans.

He opened the information card that Hu Yan had given him and began checking for the distribution of Elite Black Apes.

"I'll get a few more chests, pull out some valuable goods, and then my brother's medical expenses will be covered." Jiang Kai said, full of fighting spirit.
