Seeing Wu Gang hesitate to engage, Tian Feng snorted, "Close combat? Do you think he can last ten seconds against us?"

With that, Tian Feng turned and led the team towards the mark Wu Gang had given them.

It wasn't until the Falcon Squad left that Wu Gang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"So arrogant!" Du Lei sneered, rolling his eyes. "Captain, you tricked them into thinking that guy is good at close combat. That's brilliant, it'll definitely annoy them! But... why are they after that expert?"

Wu Gang shook his head, "How would I know? But the Falcon Squad is Basalt's elite team, and this should be their newly formed fifth squad. I've heard that every member of the new squad has quite a background..."

"I have a feeling they might not be able to kill that person," Shan Shan suddenly voiced her thoughts.

Although the Falcon Squad was strong, they had witnessed that person instantly kill three Mighty Black Apes.

Even the Falcon Squad couldn't achieve an instant kill, right?

Wu Gang sighed, "It's hard to say. That person actually has a fatal weakness, which is his weapon."

"Last night, while recalling his battle scenes, I suddenly remembered that after he instantly killed two black apes, he needed to retrieve his darts to attack again."

"And a team like Falcon, with both offense and defense, and fighting five against one, once that guy runs out of darts, I believe Falcon won't give him a chance to retrieve them."

The group pondered the captain's words and found some truth in them.

"Why don't we follow them and take a look? We can also witness Falcon's strength!" Du Lei suddenly suggested.

Wu Gang looked at his team and saw the eager anticipation in their eyes.

"I'm mainly curious about that mysterious person's strength!" Shan Shan said, "That guy isn't even older than us, how could he be so strong!"

Wu Gang was also intrigued, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Well, we've already killed two today and completed our mission, so let's go take a look!"

...

Jiang Kai was on his way back home, and the thought of this unexpected gain, possibly bringing him a step closer to affording his brother's medical expenses, brightened his mood.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"With so much stuff, I wonder how much it can sell for."

Currently, Jiang Kai's biggest dream was to make money; the wishes of a poor man are just that simple.

As he passed by a small stream, he took off his gloves and washed them in the water.

These gloves had been in the treasure chest for who knows how long, dirty and smelly, but after a wash, they looked brand new.

Amazingly, the gloves didn't need drying. As Jiang Kai put them on, steam rose from the surface, and they quickly dried.

"Fire attribute, indeed."

Jiang Kai thought that since he had walked this path just yesterday and killed several black apes, the chances of encountering more should be low. So, he let his guard down while washing the gloves.

However, just as he straightened up to leave, four Mighty Black Apes suddenly leaped out from the jungle behind him!

Jiang Kai's smile froze on his face.

All four Mighty Black Apes were earth-type, with thick rock armor on their backs, each over three and a half meters tall, all adult black apes!

"Damn, where did all these black apes come from again!"

Ding Xiao quickly realized he had made a mistake!

This was the wild!

As long as it wasn't an area with a main city, there were countless beasts here, and even with teams constantly hunting, the number of beasts showed no signs of decreasing!

"Careless!" Jiang Kai cursed himself for his momentary lapse.

Unfortunately, the giant apes had no intention of giving Jiang Kai a chance to regret, as all four Mighty Black Apes pounced on their prey simultaneously!

In the nick of time, Jiang Kai immediately pulled out the Nine Tribulations Chasing Death.

As he picked up a dart, a flame ignited on it, enveloping the dart.

Jiang Kai didn't have time to admire the new effect of his weapon. While sprinting rapidly, he seized the moment and fiercely threw a dart.

"Critical hit! Critical hit!" Jiang Kai prayed in his heart.

The first shot didn't land a critical hit, but the flame-wrapped dart exploded upon contact with the target!

Immediately, the bodies of the four black apes ignited, and as they ran, a faint red flame enveloped them!

"The gloves' effect is ignition, area attack?" Jiang Kai finally realized.

Unfortunately, the first dart didn't land a critical hit. With Jiang Kai's limited strength, without a critical hit, it was just a scratch for the black apes.

Even the flames were barely noticeable...

The adult black apes could leap over ten meters in a single bound, and seeing them about to catch up, Jiang Kai quickly picked up a second dart.

Just as he was about to launch the second Chasing Death, suddenly, the faint flames on the four black apes flared up, and the fire surged instantly!

Visually, it seemed like a massive explosion occurred on them, engulfing them in flames, turning them into four giant fireballs!

The four black apes let out screams one after another and then fell from mid-air.

Using their previous leap, they landed not far behind Jiang Kai.

Seeing this, Jiang Kai held the second Chasing Death, utterly bewildered...

"What the hell..." Jiang Kai's eyes widened, his body frozen in place.

After hesitating for a while, even after the system's kill notification had passed, Jiang Kai finally exclaimed.

"I got it!"

"The ignition caused continuous damage, and the continuous damage inherited the critical hit chance of the Nine Tribulations Chasing Death, and also inherited my Super Critical Strike!"

The first dart had a 10% critical hit rate, not high, but if ignited, it became continuous damage. Each time it burned, there was a 10% chance, and with multiple burns, once a critical hit occurred, it was an instant kill!

"Damn! This is unbeatable!" Jiang Kai said in disbelief.

Then he looked at his gloves in shock.

The gloves' attribute boost didn't matter anymore. As long as they had this ignition area attack effect, these gloves were a divine artifact for Jiang Kai!

The only regret was that the four black apes' bodies were now charred, and Jiang Kai ended up with "charred Mighty Black Ape corpses"...

The beast hides couldn't be harvested, only some bones could be obtained, and their price would be significantly reduced.

However, a total of 800 experience points somewhat compensated for the economic loss.

Now Jiang Kai had 1320 experience points, just 1880 points away from leveling up!

"Area attacks are so satisfying. If I encounter an Elite Black Ape again, I can handle it alone!" Jiang Kai said excitedly.

Originally, Jiang Kai's ability to obtain the Elite Black Ape treasure chest was largely due to luck, but with the unidentified gloves, Jiang Kai could now independently kill an Elite Black Ape.

With this in mind, Jiang Kai immediately changed his course.

He opened the information card Hu Yan had given him and began checking the distribution of Elite Black Apes!

"Get a few more chests, find some valuable items, and I'll have enough for my brother's medical expenses!" Jiang Kai said with determination.
