The nine Chasing Nine Tributions shot toward the only part of the elite bck ape not covered in stone—its face.
When all nine Chasing Nine Tributions were used, the critical strike chance wasn't just 90%. Unless luck was terribly bad, a critical hit was almost certain.
When the sixth Tribution hit the elite bck ape's face, a huge force smmed into its face.
In midair, the elite bck ape's head seemed to smash against a wall while its body was still charging forward, causing its entire body to turn sideways.
The sixth Tribution only triggered a critical hit—luck this time wasn't great.
However, among the remaining three Tributions, another critical hit occurred.
In midair, the bck ape's face suffered another heavy blow. Its body flipped upside down right there in the air.
Moments ter, the elite bck ape's body crashed down from high up, nding with a loud boom, face down on the ground.
"Woo…" The elite bck ape let out a faint sound.
[Congratutions, you have killed the Elite Giant Bck Ape and earned 320 experience points.]
[Obtained "Elite Giant Bck Ape's Corpse" (Can Be Dissected).]
[Obtained "Elite Giant Bck Ape's Treasure."]
Only then did Jiang Kai catch his breath. The system only notified him of the kill after two critical hits, which meant that his single attack didn't manage to one-shot it?
"After all, it's just darts. Power diminishes during flight, and this guy is at least a level-20 elite. Its defense and physique are definitely far higher than those of regur bck apes," Jiang Kai deduced.
The fighting sounds outside the valley had not yet stopped, which meant the others hadn't killed their bck apes yet.
"It's better not to linger here. If they decide to rob me, I won't be able to deal with so many people." Thinking this, Jiang Kai immediately picked up the corpse card, gathered his Chasing Nine Tributions, and ran toward the treasure chest.
The treasure chest was about forty or fifty centimeters high and seventy to eighty centimeters long, rge enough to fit an adult.
When Jiang Kai got close, the chest transformed into a card and fell to the ground.
"Elite Giant Bck Ape's Treasure?" Jiang Kai looked at the card's information, a faint smile forming at the corners of his mouth. "Hehe, it's mine now."
Storing the card into his card pouch, Jiang Kai gnced toward the valley entrance, thought for a moment, then abandoned the idea of leaving through the entrance.
The surrounding cliffs weren't too steep, so Jiang Kai climbed out along the mountain wall and quickly vanished from the valley.
Seven or eight minutes ter, Big Beard led his team, rushing into the valley in a hurry.
"We finally made it. That kid, no matter how tricky, couldn't possibly kill the elite bck ape in such a short time…" Before he finished speaking, Big Beard was stunned as he looked around the valley.
"Where's the elite?" He turned to his companions.
"Don't see it… and no treasure chest either?" The companions were equally baffled.
Even if the elite bck ape had gone out for some reason, the treasure chest should still be in the valley. Otherwise, why would there be six bck apes guarding the outside?
"Could it be that guy from earlier?" The team doctor looked at Big Beard with shock.
"We did see him use some unknown method to one-shot the bck ape outside… Captain, who is that guy?"
Big Beard was still searching frantically. Now, there was no elite, no treasure chest, and even that young man was gone without a trace.
"Damn it!" Big Beard clenched his fists in fury and swung them violently into the air. "I thought we'd found someone to be our cannon fodder, but instead, we ended up being his."
———
By the time Big Beard's team entered the valley, Jiang Kai had already left long ago.
In Destiny Calling, killing others and stealing treasures wasn't rare. Although Jiang Kai wasn't sure whether Big Beard's team would do it, it was better to be safe than sorry. He had already fled out of sight.
"If I had fifty Tributions, I wouldn't fear them," Jiang Kai muttered.
As he spoke, he looked at his card pouch.
Although there were only two more cards inside, Jiang Kai felt as if his pouch had suddenly become a lot heavier.
The key was that there was a treasure chest card inside.
Of course, Jiang Kai didn't dare check the treasure in the wild. He would wait until he found a safe pce.
Due to climbing the cliffs, Jiang Kai had veered off his original route. He opened the map to check.
"The area ahead has a lot of ghostly banshees. Ghostly banshees like to come out at night, so going now should be retively safe." With this in mind, Jiang Kai headed southeast.
About half an hour ter, the terrain began to change.
Previously, Jiang Kai had been walking through dense forests and valleys, but up ahead, he saw a few scattered old wooden houses.
"Looks like I'm entering ghostly banshee territory." Jiang Kai immediately quickened his pace.
Hiding behind one of the wooden houses, Jiang Kai checked his surroundings for beasts and finally stopped to rest.
He first took out the Elite Bck Ape's Corpse Card.
"I wonder if I can extract a Blood Crystal… The drop rate for that is said to be extremely low."
After materializing the card, the giant bck ape's massive corpse appeared in front of Jiang Kai.
At this moment, Jiang Kai noticed that the bck ape's face was already a bloodied mess, looking absolutely terrifying.
He pulled out a Tribution, located the heart, and tried to cut through its skin.
However, after several attempts, the Tribution only managed to scratch its golden rock-like outer yer.
"Damn, it's this hard? Good thing I didn't aim for its chest. Even with a critical hit, it'd be useless."
"Elite beasts are too strong. Even with super critical hits, I can't kill them easily."
Helpless, Jiang Kai gave up on dissecting the corpse and stored the Corpse Card.
Next, he took out the Treasure Chest Card.
When the rge chest appeared in front of him again, Jiang Kai's heartbeat sped up.
Opening the chest, Jiang Kai eagerly looked inside.
Inside the chest, the most abundant items were some brightly colored stones… rge ones, too.
Such a rge chest, yet these stones took up about eighty percent of its space.
"These are probably ores. If some rare ores come out, they could sell for a good price. Too bad I don't know what they are or their value." Jiang Kai moved the stones aside one by one.
"What'sI will also give a shoutout in upcoming chapter today, do you want any nickname or pseudonym to be used instead of "Damien Hohn"?
this?" Jiang Kai pulled out something resembling a cloak.
Big Beard had said that the elite bck ape collected equipment from pyers it killed. This cloak clearly belonged to a human before.
Although the cloak was slightly wrinkled and had a strange stench, it was well-preserved and should be usable after a wash.
"To be killed by that ape, its owner probably wasn't very strong. I should've bought some identification cards earlier." Jiang Kai shook his head and put the cloak aside for now.
After removing the cloak, Jiang Kai found more items underneath.
"Gloves?" Jiang Kai picked up a pair of bck gloves.
These were fingerless bck gloves, dirty but clearly very finely crafted. Two fmes were embroidered on the back of each glove.
"These look like attribute items." After putting the gloves on, Jiang Kai immediately felt his stamina "recovering" significantly. At the same time, two green orbs rose from the gloves, sank into his body, and quickly absorbed into him.
"No, it's not recovery—it's an increase in max stats. Green… it's either vitality or… agility." Jiang Kai's eyes widened.
"These gloves boost physique and agility."
"I wonder if wearing these gloves will affect my Tributions' accuracy." Thinking this, Jiang Kai grabbed one Tribution.
At that moment, fmes suddenly fred up around the Tribution!
Jiang Kai's eyes went wide. "This… adds fire-element attacks to my weapon?"
"Holy crap, I hit the jackpot."
