As soon as the words left his mouth, Qin Ming shot forward like a rocket, his body wreathed in blood and white flas, slamming directly into Slaine.
The sudden impact sent Slaine tumbling to the ground. Already heavily injured, he no longer had the grace or speed he had displayed earlier.
This was the weakness of agility-based fighters. When facing an enemy, they typically only had two outcos.
Either their speed surpassed their opponent's, allowing them to toy with them unscathed.
Or they couldn't outmaneuver their opponent and ended up being caught and killed.
The difference in strength between an agility-based fighter before and after being injured was imnse. This was why Slaine had chosen to flee.
With severe injuries, his combat effectiveness had drastically declined. He could no longer dodge his enemy's attacks!
Slaine was imdiately pinned to the ground. Qin Ming, landing heavily on top of him, raised his fist and delivered a devastating punch aid at Slaine's face.
After being kicked away by Slaine, Qin Ming saw him trying to escape and imdiately slamd his fist into the ground, unleashing an Energy Fountain that sent Slaine flying once more.
In his panic to escape, Slaine made a critical mistake—he shouldn't have run into the forest.
While the forest provided plenty of cover to hide his movents, the dense trees also severely limited his primary weapon: the boorang.
Using boorangs in a forest wasn't just foolish—it was downright insane!
Slaine raised his hand and threw his weapons, but with a series of clangs, most of them struck tree trunks and embedded themselves into the wood.
Seeing his ultimate move neutralized by the environnt, Slaine's face turned pale. He used Shadow Swap to dodge Qin Ming's next attack and once again fled in panic.
But this ti, before Qin Ming could catch up, a bird's cry echoed from the sky.
In the next mont, the pteranodon arrived!
The pteranodon's dive from above caught Slaine off guard. Although he managed to dodge at the last second using his skill, his path was blocked.
At the sa ti, rustling sounds ca from all directions as Miles and Wolf closed in.
Surrounded on all sides, Slaine's face turned grim.
After glancing around, he gritted his teeth and charged toward what seed to be the weakest target.
And that target was Miles!
Seeing him charge, Miles' eyes lit up. Without even firing her gun, she rushed toward him without hesitation.
As she ran, she opened her military jacket, revealing a cluster of grenades strapped to her chest...
Half an hour later, the battle was over. Slaine, frightened by Miles' suicidal tactics, had failed to break through the encirclent.
When Wolf pounced on him and grabbed his leg, refusing to let go no matter what, Slaine lost his agility advantage. Unable to escape, he stood no chance against the combined assault of five boss-level figures.
As Qin Ming grabbed Slaine and drained him dry, the hunting organization's top general was officially defeated.
The treasure chest he dropped was a pale gold color, a clear testant to his strength!
Returning to the ruined camp, Qin Ming and Wolf sat facing each other. On the table between them lay two pieces of loot: the keys from Slaine and Mog.
Looking at the two keys—one a dull gold and the other a dazzling silver—Qin Ming and Wolf fell into silence.
Many adventurer teams fell apart during the final loot distribution due to disagreents over fairness.
The value of these two keys was completely unequal. How should they be divided?
By headcount? By strength? By contribution?
No matter how they divided it, soone would likely be dissatisfied.
After a long silence, Wolf was the first to stand up and speak. But before he could say anything, Qin Ming raised his hand to interrupt.
"I'll give you two choices. One, you take these two keys, and I take the final boss key. Two, I take these two keys, and you take the final boss key. I'll leave the choice to you."
Qin Ming's words left Wolf stunned. After frowning and thinking for a while, he suddenly nodded.
"Then I'll choose option one. High-tier items are useless to anyway. I can't wear equipnt when I'm fused, and I can't carry it when I'm not. Taking two pieces of equipnt will at least fetch so money."
As he spoke, Wolf picked up the two keys and opened them without hesitation.
While opening the chests, he chuckled and said, "Don't worry, bro. Even if you don't trust my character, you can trust the allure of the clearance treasure chest. I'll definitely help you take down Dr. Disaster, and I won't fight you for the key. It's not worth offending you over a stupid chest. I—what the hell is this loot?!"
Before he could finish, Wolf suddenly scread as he opened the chest.
Qin Ming looked up, puzzled. When he saw the attributes of the two new items in Wolf's hands, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The two items Wolf had pulled from the treasure chest were high-level and indeed valuable, but their effects...
[Na: Pachycephalosaurus Helt]
[Category: Headgear]
[Grade: Radiant Silver]
[Equipnt Requirent: None]
[Effect 1: 50 to Head Defense]
[Effect 2: 30 Damage when Attacking with Head]
[Description: Take this! Genetic Iron Head Skill!]
[Na: Slaine's Kidney Stone]
[Category: Special Item]
[Grade: Dull Gold]
[Equipnt Requirent: None]
[Effect 1: Designate a Boss and generate a stone near them. If the Boss picks it up voluntarily without external interference, the user gains 25 to all attribute caps in this world.]
[Description: Who threw this stone!!!]
Looking at the two bizarrely shaped items in Wolf's hands, Qin Ming struggled to keep a straight face.
While Qin Ming was trying hard not to laugh, Miles, standing beside him, had no such reservations. She let out an unapologetically mocking laugh.
The first item was a green, round helt shaped like a pachycephalosaurus's skull—ugly to the extre.
The second was an unremarkable, ordinary-looking stone.
These items weren't weak in terms of effects, especially the stone. If its effect triggered, the boost it provided would be terrifying.
But as for whether the effects were strong... the stone's activation condition was ridiculously difficult! After all, what boss would randomly pick up a stone? And you couldn't command or prompt them to do it!
Hearing Miles' unrestrained, piercing laughter, Wolf didn't get angry. He just sighed and quietly stored the two items away.
"These won't sell well. I might even lose money."
Whether the items were useful or not didn't matter much to Wolf. He never planned to use them anyway.
He relied on his lackeys to fight, and when he fused with the Parasitic Dino-Beast, all his equipnt's attributes beca invalid. So, he was destined to have no use for equipnt.
Thus, any equipnt he got was purely for selling. He didn't care about the attributes—only whether they could fetch a high price and how easy they were to sell.
But this oddly effective stone and the hideous helt probably wouldn't sell well, especially the forr.
Across from him, Qin Ming, seeing Miles laughing so shalessly, couldn't hold back a smile. He elbowed her sharply, forcing her to shut up.
Turning to Wolf, who looked dejected, Qin Ming suddenly thought of sothing and tried to comfort him.
"Wolf, you don't have to be so down. That stone might be useless to others, but it might not be for you."
"Huh? What do you an, bro?"
Wolf looked up, confused. Qin Ming grinned.
"Your ability is to control beasts, right? And these beasts are boss-level. So, why not find and control a beast that likes to pick things up? Like a monkey or a penguin. When you activate the stone during downti, creatures with strong curiosity are more likely to pick it up!"
As soon as Qin Ming said this, Wolf's face lit up with realization.
"You're right! There's that option! I can't command others to pick up the stone, but I can bring along a boss that likes picking things up! But where can I find such a boss? And how do I bring them out of the mission world?"
Frowning, Wolf quickly fell into deep thought.
He had managed to bring these dinosaur bosses out of the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs world because of his special status in that world. He had spent a lot of points and goodwill to buy them from the organization.
Now that his goodwill was completely depleted, the hunting organization was useless to him, which was why he had chosen to betray them and reap the rewards.
Leaving the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs world and trying to bring bosses from other worlds would be incredibly difficult, especially since the boss had to like picking up stones. That made the challenge even harder.
But while the difficulty was high, the rewards would be imnse if he could find the right target.
As soone who could control animals, he had already overco the hardest part. So, as long as he found the right target, the rest would no longer be a problem.
Watching Wolf sink into silence, Qin Ming stopped talking.
He had only brought it up casually. Whether it worked or not was up to Wolf—it had nothing to do with him.
Qin Ming's only concern now was how to take down the final boss and how to infiltrate the experintal base.
And now that the bosses were dealt with, it was ti to settle so personal scores...
An hour later, Qin Ming, having agreed on a eting place with Wolf, returned to the Natural Organization's base with the heads of Mog and Slaine, causing an imdiate uproar.
After all, the powerful enemies they had fought just that morning had been dealt with by nightfall. The efficiency was impressive.
Especially the three adventurers present, who watched as two more of their hunting targets were killed. Their faces turned dark.
With all three targets dead, and all of them taken down by Qin Ming alone, he had feasted on the spoils. But what about their missions? How were they supposed to complete them now?
