I have an eye of truth

Watching Wang Yang, the sniper, run off to pick up a crystal core, Liu Xiao was speechless.

Fortunately, there are many strange people in this world, so it's not unusual to have a strange hobby. He just likes collecting the crystal cores of the monsters he hunts himself and doesn't collect anything else.

"Let's go. Besides the crystal core, the Berserk Tadpole doesn't have anything else of value. Let's continue on our way."

Liu Xiao waved his hand, truly exasperated by these two guys. But there was nothing he could do, they were just two young people, unlike him, who already had a wealth of life experience. But people like this are good too, at least they don't have any schemes.

Liu Xiao looked wistful, as if he was missing a cigarette.

Wang Yang, having retrieved the item, ran back, feeling a bit guilty. As a sniper, why did he rush out like that? He must be more careful in the future, even if there are no dangers around. If he's not careful, who knows when he'll die out here.

It's true that he has a defensive skill, but there are also many monsters with special abilities.

After several hunting experiences, the three gradually got used to this kind of cooperation. Along the way, there weren't many monsters, and they were all found in advance. Then, they either fell under Wang Yang's gun or died at Liu Xiao's hands.

It was agreed from the beginning that the crystal cores would be divided equally among the three, even if Li Mang didn't take action.

Wang Yang didn't feel anything wrong with this, as they were all on the same team. If he wanted more crystal cores, he would just have to hunt more monsters. And Liu Xiao was speechless at Wang Yang's habit of only wanting the crystal cores he obtained himself.

"Look, we're here! That's the Red Hills over there."

"Red Hills? It looks very ordinary. It's not red at all, just barren," Wang Yang said, looking ahead.

It was just an ordinary range of hills, and the undulation wasn't too great. There were hardly any large trees, giving it a desolate feeling.

Liu Xiao rolled his eyes: "I really wonder if you looked at the surrounding terrain map properly before suggesting we come out here. The Red Hills aren't called that because the hills are red, but because this is where the Redskin Monsters descend."

"I know, I know. Redskin Monsters are a type of monster with smooth, red skin. The two fangs in their mouths are good materials for making armor-piercing arrows, and their hearts are good materials for making body-strengthening potions," Li Mang, with his professional background, immediately perked up.

"That's right. Okay, let's start preparing," Liu Xiao said, already crouching down and starting to adjust his trouser legs.

"Prepare what?" This time, it was Li Mang who was confused.

"When you're in the wild, you have to be careful when entering special areas, of course. The Red Hills have a lot of poisonous insects and snakes, which are very troublesome. We haven't become official professionals yet, so we can't ignore these things. Tighten your trouser legs for me, or you'll be in for a world of pain."

This was a matter of experience. The two of them only focused on the monsters, forgetting about the things that were more troublesome than the monsters.

Right now, everyone was just ordinary people. Before becoming official professionals, these things couldn't be ignored.

The two of them didn't think they were superior, but instead followed Liu Xiao's example, tightening their trouser legs and adjusting their gear. Wang Yang was having some trouble, feeling some soreness in his shoulders.

"I told you not to bring so many bullets. Look, it's become a burden."

Wang Yang just smiled sheepishly. He didn't know it would be so troublesome. He was just thinking that if he had more bullets, he could hunt more monsters, and his harvest would be greater.

"Let me help you carry some. I don't have anything to do right now," Li Mang offered.

Wang Yang thought about it and shook his head, refusing: "No, I'll carry what I brought. Besides, your task is very important, responsible for protecting our safety. If we really encounter danger, there won't be time to put down the things."

Liu Xiao looked at the two of them and nodded slightly. Although they lacked experience, they were still promising material.

After preparing, the three of them entered the Red Hills. When the monsters attacked the camp before, the cannon fodder army was mainly composed of these Redskin Monsters, so everyone had seen them before.

They had smooth, red skin and looked like grotesque babies, but their faces were very ferocious, and their height was about 1.2 meters.

These things attack with their two sharp claws. Don't underestimate these seemingly inconspicuous things, as they are still monsters. Their true strength is much greater than that of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.

An ordinary person with a weapon might not be a match for these things.

"The Redskin Monsters have a very high spawn rate and aren't too far from our camp, so the army often comes here to sweep them up. If a large number of Redskin Monsters hadn't attacked the camp before, there definitely wouldn't be many now. I wouldn't have risked bringing you here otherwise," Liu Xiao said while looking at the map. This trip here was originally his suggestion. On the one hand, it was relatively close, and on the other hand, yesterday's battle had already consumed a large portion of the monsters.

As long as a large number of them didn't suddenly descend, they wouldn't be in any danger.

"Found it! That's the thing. Huh, it's a loner. Should we try our skills?"

"I'm not going. I want to rest," Li Mang said, not intending to go over at all. He wasn't a part-time warrior, so why should he rush up? On the other hand, Wang Yang was eager to try.

Wang Yang threw his backpack on the ground and said, "I'll go try. Uncle Liu, watch my back."

Liu Xiao took Wang Yang's sniper rifle and carefully observed the surroundings. As for Wang Yang himself, he had already drawn his Tang sword and walked over. Seeing Wang Yang approaching, the Redskin Monster let out a strange and shrill cry.

Then, the monster jumped over on its own initiative. It hopped, as if it couldn't walk normally at all.

However, its speed wasn't slow, and its movement trajectory was very strange, making it difficult for normal people to adapt.

But Wang Yang was an exception. As a sharpshooter, Wang Yang instinctively used the monster trajectory calculation formula, clearly knowing where the monster would appear next.

The Tang sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, carrying a hazy lightning, and directly slashed at the Redskin Monster's body.

Powerful force erupted, and the Redskin Monster was sent flying like a ball. After landing, a large wound appeared on the Redskin Monster's body, but it wasn't cut in two with a single blow.

The wound also had a strange adhesiveness, actually sticking together, causing no blood to flow out. As if it hadn't been injured, the Redskin Monster pushed off the ground and pounced again.
