46: Complete materials

“You shot through the Shadow Poison Toad's head with an arrow, and the Shadow Poison Toad self-destructed. The Shadow Poison Toad is dead.”

“Congratulations on killing the Shadow Poison Toad, you have obtained two phoenix flowers, two Corrosion Grasses, two Poison Heart Grasses, and one Spiritual Energy.”

“Something seems off!”

Liu Yang shot and killed the Shadow Poison Toad with an arrow, and looking at the prompt in front of him, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why didn't the Second Kill skill trigger?

“Status”

“Name: Liu Yang.”

“Age: 24 years old.”

“Level: 21 (18.85%)”

“Location: Initial Dungeon 100086.”

“Physical Condition: Fatigued.”

“Energy Value: 0/1860.”

He entered the status page to check, and as he expected, his energy value was indeed depleted.

“Damn, my energy value is already used up?”

“Ten energy points per monster, so that means I killed 186 monsters?”

“186 monsters weren't enough to get the quantity I wanted. If someone else were to do this…”

“Luckily, I'm not far off, and after killing for so long, I've gained rich experience.”

“Now, even without the Second Kill skill, I can easily kill the Shadow Poison Toad.”

“Hmm, let's put in a bit more effort and finish this early.”

He retrieved the crossbow bolts from the ground.

Upon careful inspection, the arrows were clearly not as sharp as they were at the beginning.

He then took out all the other arrows from the warehouse.

He checked them one by one, and many could no longer be used.

Before, with the Second Kill skill, he didn't care as long as they could injure the monster.

But now it was different, so he naturally couldn't be as casual as before.

He picked out the crossbow bolts that could no longer be used and those with dull arrowheads.

Counting them, only about 20 were left that could still be used.

This was clearly not enough.

So.

Liu Yang switched to the manufacturing page and selected crossbow bolt manufacturing.

“You have manufactured 200 excellent Wind Spirit Crossbow matching crossbow bolts. Iron Block -40, wood -80.”

“Congratulations on obtaining 200 excellent Wind Spirit Crossbow matching crossbow bolts.”

“The ammunition is fully stocked, but now I only have about twenty pieces of wood left.”

There might be a possibility of a mishap later.

Liu Yang quietly made a gesture to Guan Ningyan.

This was something they had agreed upon beforehand.

Guan Ningyan received the instruction and immediately acted on it.

“My dear friends, this Little Sister is parched from talking, so today's live broadcast ends here.”

“As for when the next broadcast will be, please follow this Little Sister.”

“Alright, that's it, bye-bye.”

After ending the live broadcast, Guan Ningyan ran to Liu Yang's side.

“Da Lao, do you need my help with something?”

“Yes.”

Liu Yang nodded.

“My stamina has dropped significantly now, and it won't be as easy from here on, so you need to seize the opportunity and attack together.”

“Understood.”

Guan Ningyan nodded seriously.

Liu Yang held the repeating crossbow in front.

Guan Ningyan followed closely, half a step behind him.

“Shadow Poison Toad Lv16: Skilled in concealment, can change skin color with the environment, likes to ambush opponents in the dark, highly venomous, will self-destruct when encountering life-threatening danger.”

The target appeared.

Liu Yang subtly tilted his head to signal.

Guan Ningyan nodded, indicating she understood.

Liu Yang shot an arrow.

Immediately, another arrow flew out from beside him, following suit.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Two arrows, one after another, struck the Shadow Poison Toad less than half a second apart.

The Shadow Poison Toad died, turning into a cloud of poisonous mist.

No prompt sounded, and Liu Yang looked at Guan Ningyan.

“One skin, one Spiritual Energy, five medicinal herbs.”

“Not counting what you just dropped, I still need five shadow poison toad skins and twelve Corrosion Grasses. Tell me when you have enough.”

“Understood.”

Just like that.

The two cooperated tacitly, sweeping through the area.

Except for a few times when a third arrow was needed, most were solved with two arrows.

Of course, there were also a few minor accidents.

But fortunately, Liu Yang was well-prepared, so nothing happened.

Not long after.

All the materials were collected.

But Liu Yang did not stop.

Why not kill more monsters when they were cooperating so well?

Poison is naturally something the more, the better.

Fifty pieces were just the minimum target; if there could be more, that would be even better.

Even if they didn't use them all this time, they might come in handy someday in the future.

They could also level up along the way, so why not?

Thus, the two continued forward, seemingly feeling no fatigue.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, an hour passed.

The light began to dim slowly at this point, but they had not yet left the Shadow Poison Toad's area.

“Alright, that's enough for today. Going further would be dangerous.”

“Last time I thought these toads were so formidable, but it turns out they're nothing special.”

“Oh? Who was it that got attacked by a toad halfway and yelled for help?”

“If I hadn't prepared the antidote, you would have died from the poison by now.”

“Hehe, isn't Da Lao here?”

The two chatted and laughed as they returned the way they came.

The journey was unobstructed, with not a single Earth Palace Creature in sight.

Safely back in the main hall, Liu Yang released his Home.

Then he opened the portal, and he and Guan Ningyan returned to the villa.

“Da Lao, you said my sisters haven't returned yet. Could something have happened to them?”

With time to spare, Guan Ningyan began to overthink.

“They should be fine.”

Liu Yang lay casually on the ground, lifting his head slightly as he answered.

“With the Ling Neng Flying Car, escaping is not a problem even if they can't win.”

“But…”

“If you're really worried, you can check your friends list. If something truly unexpected happened, their names would have surely disappeared.”

Liu Yang had not experienced this himself.

But with so many people in the chat channel, there would naturally be those who had.

And this was a small piece of knowledge shared by a kind person.

“Understood, thank you for the reminder, Da Lao.”

Rumble!

A faint roar sounded.

Two beautiful girls sat in a car suspended in mid-air.

They sped along in the car, their faces beaming with joyful smiles.

“Sister, I never thought there'd be something like this.”

Guan Ningxiu said softly, her face full of an incredulous expression.

“Indeed.” Guan Ning霜 also looked shocked: “I didn't expect it either.”

“It's a pity there's only one type. It would be great if the other two types also dropped.”

Guan Ningxiu shook her head, feeling a bit unsatisfied.

“Hehe.” Guan Ning霜 chuckled softly: “It's good enough to have one. You want three? Greedy!”

“That's how it should be, though. It's normal for us three sisters to each have one.”

“Since one type dropped, it means others will also drop. Let's take our time.”

“Yes, then we won't be so helpless and can be of great use.”

“Alright, we're almost at the main hall. I wonder if Liu Yang and Little Sister are back yet.”

“With Liu Yang there, they're definitely fine. They're probably lying in the villa waiting for us.”

Not long after, the Ling Neng Flying Car flew back to the main hall.

“Hehe, I was right.”

Looking at the crystal ball in the main hall, Guan Ningxiu was very proud.

“Then I'd better hurry. They must be starving after a busy day.”

“Not just them, us too.”

Arriving at the crystal ball, the two got out of the flying car.

They put the flying car into storage and walked together towards the portal.
