The nine Nine Tribulations Chasing Death darts shot towards the only part of the Elite Black Ape not covered by rock—its face!

When all Nine Tribulations Chasing Death are used, the critical hit chance isn't just 90%. Unless luck is truly terrible, there's almost certainly going to be a critical hit.

When the sixth dart hit the Elite Black Ape's face, a massive force slammed into it.

In mid-air, the Elite Black Ape's head seemed to crash into a wall while its body continued forward, causing its entire body to flip over.

The sixth dart finally triggered a critical hit, which wasn't particularly lucky this time.

However, the remaining three darts triggered another critical hit!

In mid-air, the Black Ape's face suffered another severe blow! Its body flipped over completely in the air.

Moments later, the Elite Black Ape's body plummeted from the sky, crashing to the ground with a loud boom.

"Ow..." the Elite Black Ape let out a muffled sound.

[Congratulations on killing the Elite Mighty Black Ape, gaining 320 experience points.]

[Obtained "Elite Mighty Black Ape's Corpse" (can be dissected)]

[Obtained "Elite Mighty Black Ape's Treasure"]

Only then did Jiang Kai catch his breath. The system notified him of the kill after two critical hits, meaning his attack didn't result in an instant kill?!

"After all, they're darts. The force diminishes during flight, and this guy is at least a level 20 elite. Its defense and physique are definitely higher than a regular Black Ape," Jiang Kai made a preliminary judgment.

The sounds of battle outside the valley hadn't ended yet, indicating they hadn't killed those Black Apes.

"I better not linger here. If they try to snatch it, I can't handle so many people." With this thought, Jiang Kai quickly picked up the corpse card, collected the Nine Tribulations Chasing Death, and ran towards the treasure chest.

The treasure chest was about forty to fifty centimeters high and seventy to eighty centimeters long, easily able to hold an adult.

As Jiang Kai approached, the treasure chest transformed into a card and fell to the ground.

"Elite Mighty Black Ape's Treasure?" Jiang Kai looked at the information on the card, a slight smile on his lips. "Hehe, it's mine now!"

Placing the card into his card pouch, Jiang Kai glanced towards the valley entrance, thought for a moment, and decided against leaving through the entrance.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

The surrounding mountains weren't too steep, so Jiang Kai climbed out of the valley along the mountainside, quickly disappearing from the valley.

Seven or eight minutes later, a bearded man led his team rushing into the valley.

"Finally caught up! That kid might be tricky, but there's no way he could kill an elite in such a short time..." Before he finished speaking, the bearded man was shocked by the scene in the valley.

"Where's the elite?" He turned to his companion.

"Didn't see it... and no treasure chest either?!" His companion was equally surprised.

Even if the Elite Black Ape had gone out, the treasure chest should have remained in the valley. Otherwise, why were there six Black Apes guarding outside the valley?

"Could it be that guy from earlier?" The team's doctor looked at the bearded man in shock.

"We did see him use some method to instantly kill the Black Apes outside the cave... Captain, who is he?!"

The bearded man was still searching around, but now there was no elite, no treasure chest, and even the young man was nowhere to be found!

"Damn it!" The bearded man angrily clenched his fist and swung it fiercely in the air. "We thought we found a scapegoat, but we ended up being the scapegoats!"

...

By the time the bearded man's team entered the valley, Jiang Kai had long left.

In this calling, killing and looting aren't uncommon. Although Jiang Kai wasn't sure if the bearded man and his team would do such a thing, better safe than sorry, he had already disappeared without a trace.

"If I had fifty darts of Chasing Death, I wouldn't be afraid of them." Jiang Kai muttered.

As he spoke, he looked at his card pouch.

Although there were only two more cards, Jiang Kai felt as if his card pouch had suddenly become much heavier.

The key was that there was a treasure chest card inside!

Of course, Jiang Kai didn't dare to check the treasure in the wild. He decided to wait until he found a safe place.

Due to climbing the mountainside, Jiang Kai's route deviated from the original path. He opened the map to check.

"Heading to the area ahead, there are more Ghost Banshees. Ghost Banshees prefer to move at night, so it should be safer to go now." With this in mind, Jiang Kai headed southeast.

About half an hour later, the area ahead began to look different.

Previously, Jiang Kai had been traversing dense forests and valleys, but not far ahead, he saw some scattered old wooden houses.

"It seems I'm entering the Ghost Banshees' territory." Jiang Kai immediately quickened his pace.

Hiding behind a wooden house, Jiang Kai checked the surroundings for beasts and finally stopped to rest.

He first took out the Elite Black Ape corpse card.

"I wonder if I can dissect an Essence Crystal... The drop rate for that is said to be particularly low."

After the card materialized, the massive corpse of the Black Ape appeared before Jiang Kai.

Only then did Jiang Kai notice that the Black Ape's face was already a bloody mess, extremely terrifying.

He took out a dart of Chasing Death and located the Black Ape's heart, attempting to cut open the skin.

However, after several attempts, the dart only scratched the golden rock layer on its surface.

"Damn, it's so hard? Good thing I didn't attack its chest directly, otherwise, even a critical hit would be useless!"

"Elite beasts are too strong. Even with Super Critical Strike, I can't kill them easily."

Helplessly, Jiang Kai had to give up dissecting the corpse and put away the corpse card.

Next, he took out the treasure chest card.

When the large chest appeared before Jiang Kai again, his heart began to race.

Opening the treasure chest, Jiang Kai eagerly looked inside.

The chest was mostly filled with some brightly colored stones... all quite large.

In such a large chest, these stones took up about eighty percent of the space.

"They're probably some ores. If there are rare ones, they could be quite valuable. Unfortunately, I don't recognize them or know their value." Jiang Kai moved the stones one by one.

"What's this?" Jiang Kai picked up something resembling a cape from the bottom of the chest.

The bearded man said that the Elite Black Ape would collect equipment from players it killed, and this cape was evidently originally human.

Although the cape was a bit wrinkled and had a strange smell, it was well-preserved and should be usable after a wash.

"To be killed by this guy, their strength probably wasn't too high. I should have bought some identification cards before coming out." Jiang Kai shook his head and temporarily set the cape aside.

After lifting the cape, there were still quite a few items underneath.

"Are these gloves?" Jiang Kai picked up a pair of black gloves.

They were fingerless black gloves. Although a bit dirty, the craftsmanship was quite exquisite, with two flames embroidered on the back of each glove.

"They seem to be attribute items." After putting on the gloves, Jiang Kai immediately felt his stamina "recover" significantly, and two green orbs of light rose from the gloves, quickly permeating his body.

"No, it's not recovery; it's an increase in maximum! Green... it's either vitality or... agility!" Jiang Kai's eyes widened.

"Increases Physique and Agility!"

"I wonder if wearing the gloves will affect the accuracy of Chasing Death." With this thought, Jiang Kai picked up a dart of Chasing Death.

At that moment, flames suddenly rose around the dart!

Jiang Kai's eyes widened, "This... adds fire element to the weapon?!"

"Damn, I've struck it rich!"
