After obtaining the unidentified gloves, Jiang Kai began frantically searching for elite black apes.

After killing some solitary black apes, Jiang Kai finally discovered his target.

In King's Valley, valleys were the most common terrain. In an open area before one such valley, seven or eight adult black apes were lurking.

Their bodies were huge, draped in either rock or vine armor, their pitch-black eyes vigilantly surveying the surroundings.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the bushes in front of them and shouted loudly, "I'm here."

How could the black apes tolerate a mere human acting so arrogantly here? The eight black apes immediately charged toward him.

At this moment, Jiang Kai already had a flaming dart in his hand.

With a swing of his hand, the dart shot out, aiming at the leading black ape.

Instantly, flames ignited near the black ape, burning the vegetation and enveloping the black ape in a thin layer of fire.

Within ten meters of the burning ape, its companions were also ignited by the flames.

At first, the black apes didn't seem greatly affected, but moments later, the flames on their bodies suddenly flared up. The black apes leaping into the air became massive fireballs, dropping from the sky.

With just one dart, Jiang Kai successfully killed four black apes.

He attacked again, finishing off the remaining four.

[Killed Adult Giant Black Ape, gained 1600 experience points.]

[Obtained item: "Charred Giant Black Ape Corpse" x8]

[Congratulations, your level has increased to Level 7.]

[Talent "Doubling" is activated, your attributes are updated to: Strength 28, Constitution 32, Agility 48, Spirit 48.]

"I've been in King's Valley for a day and a half, and I've only gained two levels. Destiny Calling really levels up too slowly." Jiang Kai shook his head and crouched down to collect the corpses, storing them in his card pouch.

At this moment, his card pouch already held 26 cards.

Looking at the scorched surroundings, Jiang Kai frowned. "Everything's been burned like this. Will new elite black apes even spawn here in the future?"

After thinking it over, Jiang Kai realized he didn't need to stay in one valley. After all, King's Valley had plenty of valleys. If he couldn't find any, he could hunt other beasts instead of focusing on just black apes.

Entering the valley, Jiang Kai calmly threw out two darts and quickly killed a nearly four-meter-tall elite adult black ape.

Elites might drop Nuclear Soul or Blood Essence Crystals. After killing them, Jiang Kai immediately stored his weapon to minimize fire damage to the corpse's internal structure.

That said, charred corpses could still be dissected, but Jiang Kai didn't want to waste time on dissection. It was better to collect more and process them all at once when he returned.

The most important thing remained the elite black apes' treasure chests.

This treasure chest was the same size as the previous one. Who knew whether the system distributed standard chests to all elite black apes…

The chest contained a heap of ores, two weapons—a longsword and a shield—and seven or eight bottles of hemostatic medicine.

"Just weapons?" Jiang Kai frowned. "I want a set of armor with good attributes."

The blade of the longsword was chipped, and the shield had dents that needed repair. Moreover, Jiang Kai didn't need melee weapons.

It wasn't like he could wield a longsword or shield to fight black apes head-on, so he would most likely sell them.

"Hopefully, they'll fetch a good price."

"Why do these black apes love collecting colorful stones so much?" Shaking his head, Jiang Kai directly turned the entire chest into a card and stored it.

If he took out the contents, it would occupy an extra card pouch slot. Keeping it in the chest was more efficient.

As Jiang Kai was about to leave, he suddenly felt fatigued.

"Adding flame attacks consumes a lot of Spirit…" Jiang Kai found a spot to sit down and rest.

Recalling his earlier battles, Jiang Kai muttered to himself, "With my current Spirit, using six consecutive flame attacks requires a break."

"Spirit is still insufficient."

While resting, Jiang Kai checked his information card and began planning his next hunting route.

"If I open a few more chests and still only find ores, I'll try hunting other creatures." Muttering to himself, Jiang Kai stored the card, took out his water and dried meat, and began replenishing his stamina.

———

The bearded team was stunned to see the five people standing before them.

The other party was none other than the Falcon Squad of the Black Tortoise Guild.

"Have you seen this person?" Qin Yong stepped forward to ask, projecting Jiang Kai's image from his wrist device.

The moment the bearded man saw Jiang Kai, his eyes widened.

"It's him!"

"You've seen him?" Qin Yong squinted his eyes slightly.

"Seen him? That brat snatched an elite black ape right out of our five squads' hands." The bearded man was still bitter, speaking angrily, "He was in the western valley. I think he climbed out from inside the valley and escaped."

After Qin Yong returned, he relayed the information to Captain Tian Feng.

Tian Feng looked at the map.

"If he ran that way, he's heading into the Phantom Banshee's territory."

"Let's move. We must find that brat today."

Liu Yan pouted, "This little rascal can really run. He's come this far. Did he know someone was chasing him?"

Tian Feng said, "He probably guessed the guild would go after him. His escape shows he's actively avoiding our pursuit, but he can't know it's us chasing him."

Bai Lingzhi said coldly, "Exactly. If he knew it was Falcon Squad chasing him, he wouldn't even bother running."

"The higher-ups said to kill him until he can't log back in."

Xu Xiaoxiao frowned. "But don't you all find it strange? How could this guy run so far… I mean, he's a newbie. How is he still alive in the wild? And the Sky Sword Guild's team said he's very strong. That bearded man said he snatched the elite kill."

"A newbie who just finished their trial surviving in King's Valley for almost two days is already a miracle. How did he kill an elite?"

Qin Yong thought for a moment and sneered dismissively. "Didn't you hear that bearded man say he snatched the elite? Robbing someone's elite and killing it through sheer strength are two different things. It only proves the kid's cunning. As for Sky Sword's claims, they were probably trying to intimidate us."

Tian Feng suddenly spoke up. "If he could snatch someone else's elite and escape successfully, he must have some tricks."

"But we don't need to worry. Tricks are useless in the face of absolute strength. We just need to be careful not to get careless. With our strength, no matter how many tricks he has, they're useless."

The captain's words reassured the team.

After determining Jiang Kai's whereabouts, the team immediately headed for the last valley where he appeared.

Not long after the Falcon Squad left, the Sky Sword Squad emerged from the dense forest.

"Captain, that Xu Xiaoxiao just said the guy's a newbie who completed his trial?" Shanshan said, wide-eyed. "How is that possible? That bearded guy said that kid stole an elite black ape from five squads and ran off."

Wu Gang furrowed his brows. "Hmm… this doesn't add up. I thought he was some expert on vacation here, but if he's really a newbie, how is that possible with such strength?"

Du Lei pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't think Xu Xiaoxiao was lying. Since the Black Tortoise Guild wants to kill him, they must know his identity."

"Besides, if they sent Falcon Squad, they must be absolutely confident of killing him."

Wu Gang nodded repeatedly. "Indeed. The mighty Black Tortoise Guild wouldn't risk tarnishing its reputation."

"It's just… that guy feels so strange to me…"
