Innate Critical Strike! Golden Hunting Bow!

The mere seven seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

Ma De, having exited his Swift Shot state, instantly felt a sense of emptiness throughout his body.

Even lifting the bow in his hand became exceptionally difficult.

"Fervor!"

A red light flashed around Ma De!

Enraged, he immediately activated Fervor!

Suddenly, his attack speed and movement speed once again entered a state of significant enhancement!

The feeling was like his extremely weakened and exhausted body had temporarily consumed a blue potion.

Ma De instantly felt like he was back in action!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

...A dense Arrow Rain shot towards Ye Xingyu.

But in the midst of the intense struggle, Ye Xingyu had long since grown accustomed to his opponent's rhythm.

Not only could he nimbly dodge and weave through Ma De's fierce Arrow Rain, he even activated Swift Shot and engaged Ma De in a thrilling and intense counter-attack!

"-630" (Weakness Critical Hit!)

"-630" (Weakness Critical Hit!)

Because Ma De had activated "Fervor," causing his defense to drop significantly, Ye Xingyu landed two consecutive arrows on Ma De's heart!

This instantly dealt him enormous damage!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

Ma De screamed madly!

He continued to shoot back at Ye Xingyu!

However, both of his arms were in a lightly injured state.

Even though he could still maintain his offense, it inevitably affected his attack speed and accuracy.

On the other hand, Ye Xingyu was calmly dodging and counter-attacking, avoiding 100% of Ma De's arrows while maintaining 100% accuracy for his own shots.

In terms of Archer operational skill, Ye Xingyu utterly crushed Ma De!

Unbeknownst to them, their battle had already attracted a large number of Novice Village players to watch.

Over 50 players crowded the sides of the road, exclaiming:

"Wow wow wow wow!!! Guys, come quick! Someone's fighting in the Novice Village safe zone!"

"The scene is blush-inducing and exciting!"

"Damn! Is that person inside an NPC? He's actually a Level 12 Bronze Boss!"

"Holy crap! A Ma De! Guys, let's all go! Don't let that guy take all the rare equipment!"

Numerous players gathered closer only to discover that Ma De had the title of a Ma De above his head.

But why was his name green? (To other players)

"Never mind! I think this Ma De is pretty weak! He can't even hit an arrow! And he's almost shot to death himself!"

"First come, first served!"

"Rare equipment drop!"

Seeing this situation, the other players no longer cared whether Ma De's name was green or red.

One by one, they rushed forward!

Especially the ranged profession players nearby.

Archer players and Mage players had already shot arrows and magic orbs at Ma De.

Everyone treated it like a Ma De fight!

"Hm!? You bunch of scoundrels! Are you trying to harm me too?"

Ma De couldn't help but be furious when he saw this situation!

He switched targets and launched a fierce attack on the fastest rushing Warrior players!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!"

It had to be said, the Ma De's attacks were extremely sharp.

Coupled with over 500+ attack power!

At most two arrows would instantly kill a Warrior!

Against some Assassins, Mages, and Archer players with low defense and health, it was an instant kill with just one arrow!

More than 10 players who rushed up were instantly killed by Ma De.

The players' morale was instantly shattered by more than half!

Countless people screamed in alarm:

"Wow! This Ma De's attack power is so high! He instantly kills people!"

"Wuwuwuwu... Who said this Ma De was weak? Three of my teammates have already died and lost levels."

"Run! A Level 12 Ma De is not to be trifled with! I'm only Level 5! I don't want to lose levels, sob sob sob..."

...The scene was chaotic.

Players hesitated between fighting and not fighting.

But during this time, Ye Xingyu continued to land hits.

Arrows, dense as flying locusts, struck Ma De's vital points all over his body.

Within a mere minute, Ma De's health plummeted to below 5%.

Visually, he only had a sliver of health left!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

"Falling Nine Heavens!! I'll fight you to the death!!!!"

Ma De seemed to sense that his doomsday was approaching.

He suddenly went completely mad!

The tip of Ma De's arrow suddenly lit up with an extremely intense white light!

The white light was dazzling and bright to the extreme!

"Hundred Paces Piercing Willow!"

An arrow imbued with Ma De's will shot directly towards Ye Xingyu!

The moment Ye Xingyu saw the white light, he had already twisted his body and moved a step to the right.

"Whoosh!"

A blinding white light streaked across the sky, shooting directly into the body of a player behind Ye Xingyu.

"Huh?"

A question mark slowly appeared in that player's mind.

Then he watched his body slowly turn into nothingness.

"-1080!"

This number significantly exceeded that player's health.

Ye Xingyu seized the opportunity to fire an arrow back!

An arrow hit Ma De in the throat!

"Ugh!"

Ma De's eyes bulged, his face crimson with blood.

He collapsed, filled with raging anger and regret.

"Ding!"

A long bow fell from Ma De's hand.

At the same time, a dazzling golden light rapidly coiled around Ye Xingyu's entire body.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully killing Level 12 Bronze Boss Ma De! You have gained 24000 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations on leveling up! Your current level is 10! All basic attributes +2, and you have gained 6 free attribute points!"

"[System Notification: Players who reach Level 10 can find the Village Chief to leave Novice Village and proceed to the main city, which has a larger area and more fertile land.]"

The rich experience given by the Ma De directly allowed him to reach Level 10.

But at this moment, Ye Xingyu had no time to deal with the level issue.

He dashed straight to the fallen Ma De in two quick steps.

Reaching out quickly, a long bow and a blue book instantly entered Ye Xingyu's hands, along with a large pile of gold coins, potions... and other miscellaneous items.

Several players who arrived at the Ma De's vicinity at almost the same time expressed extreme dissatisfaction:

"Damn! Why is there such a disgusting thing as kill protection!?"

"Crap! It made me not get anything!"

"!@#$%..."

After killing any monster, there is a 30-second item protection period, allowing only the player who dealt the final blow to pick up items.

This allowed Ye Xingyu to successfully obtain the Ma De drops.

At the crucial moment, the Golden Dream talent came into play!

Giving Ye Xingyu the opportunity to obtain his first silver artifact!

He unhesitatingly chose: Upgrade!

He swept his hand over the Hunter Bow.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, a golden light flashed!

Countless golden patterns were added to the surface of the Hunter Bow!

At the same time, the appearance of the Hunter Bow underwent a huge change!

"Ding! Congratulations to player Falling Nine Heavens! Your Golden Dream talent triggered a low-probability critical effect! Hunter Bow upgraded to → golden hunter bow!"
