"What a sha."
Qin Ziwen had originally aid for the gatherium's left eyeball, but the giant sloth kept shaking its head while eating.
Its eyes were too small.
This arrow grazed the side of its eye socket.
"Continue."
Qin Ziwen nocked another arrow.
This ti, he aid for the gatherium's neck.
Arrows from the quiver were shot out one after another.
The gatherium had thick fur on its body surface, and that layer of fat blocked most of the damage, but the arrows embedded in its body still caused it imnse pain.
With a roar, the gatherium turned its body.
The earth trembled as it ran on all fours, its speed not as fast as anticipated.
"Give the Molotov cocktail!" Qin Ziwen took the Molotov cocktail and threw it at the ground ahead of the beast.
"Bang~"
The Molotov cocktail hit the gatherium.
Large swathes of fla spread with the flowing gasoline.
The gatherium, which had been running, suddenly halted its movent, looking sowhat fearfully at the flas before it.
"Hit!"
An arrow from the side shot like a teor chasing the moon, striking the gatherium's only remaining eye.
Plunged into darkness in both eyes, the gatherium fell into a frenzy, charging forward wildly.
"Keep moving, don't engage it head-on."
Under Yang Cunshen's command, everyone surrounded the gatherium, continuously attacking its back and sides.
Its vitality was tenacious; although it had many wounds, none were fatal.
As ti passed, its movents grew increasingly sluggish.
Finally, half an hour later, the gatherium, driven to the foot of the slope, collapsed heavily.
From its body surface, a large number of white light points scattered out.
Eventually, they condensed into a single green card above its head.
"Only one card." Qin Ziwu was sowhat disappointed.
Qin Ziwen said, "That's not bad. In terms of weight, the Giant Toad's weight is at least five tis greater than this. They're not even in the sa weight class."
Deng Guang nodded, "Back then, that nearly eight-ter-long crocodile we hunted in the river also only dropped one card. If it were in the water, this gatherium might not even be a match for that crocodile."
Although it was large in size, its threat level truly wasn't that high.
For humans ard with weapons and tools, it was a relatively easy prey to hunt.
Li Yue said, "First ti seeing a green card. What kind of card is this?"
Wang Yun said, "An Enhancent Card."
Deng Guang naturally knew about it too. Back then, Zhao Pu had also obtained one in the mountain cave, which he later traded with Brother Qin.
Li Yue climbed onto its belly, retrieved the Enhancent Card from above the corpse, and said in surprise, "So this is an Enhancent Card? Does using it turn you into a superhero?"
Wang Yun shook his head, "No, at most it just improves your physical fitness a bit. You won't even reach Captain Arica's level, let alone a superhero."
Qin Ziwen spoke up, "This card can be used repeatedly, but it also has a limit. At most, it can enhance a person to the human physical limit."
Li Yue sighed, "The human physical limit, that's still pretty damn impressive. If every aspect reaches the limit, fighting ten people bare-handed wouldn't be difficult."
Wang Yun said, "That, I don't know. Our team obtained an Enhancent Card before and gave it to a team mber, but he didn't share the specifics."
Yuan Ming said indignantly, "That guy's a traitor. After the incident, he directly joined the Alliance. Brother Wang treated him so well before."
Wang Yun waved his hand, "Everyone has their own aspirations. He contributed while he was in the team. We shouldn't say that about him."
He took the card from the others' hands.
[Enhancent Card] Human Constitution Enhancent Card (One Star).
He felt tempted because both he and Du Yu had reached four stars. They only needed to use this card once more to reach its limit.
To reach the legendary peak of an ordinary person's physical fitness.
Li Yue asked, "How should we price this card?"
Qin Ziwu stroked his chin, glanced at his older brother, then at the others, "For a card that can enhance oneself, I think setting it too cheap definitely isn't right, but too expensive isn't appropriate either. Because its enhancent has a limit; it can't be used infinitely. In the end, everyone will probably get to use one."
"Ten Contribution Points?" Yuan Ming suggested.
Deng Guang hesitated, "How about nine Contribution Points?"
Wang Yun was very forthright. Although he had thoughts about this card, he understood his Contribution Points were insufficient. He had just bought the Spring Card. The only one present who could exchange for this card was Captain Qin.
So, rather than setting this price for them, it was more like setting it for Qin Ziwen.
Wang Yun said with a smile, "Make it eight Contribution Points. From what Captain Qin ans, one card probably isn't enough to reach the limit; you'd need several. If we set the price too high, you'll regret it later."
After discussion, the Enhancent Card price was finally set at 8 Contribution Points.
Qin Ziwen took it, pondered for a mont. Although both he and Du Yu were at four stars.
Even with the sa physical fitness, different people could achieve different results.
With the sa equipnt, Du Yu could probably handle two or three of him.
Having made up his mind, Qin Ziwen looked at Du Yu, "Du Yu."
Du Yu was first surprised, then hurriedly waved his hands, "Master, this won't do. This card is so precious, it should be used by you."
"Enough, there will be more opportunities to obtain them later." Qin Ziwen didn't let him explain, directly using the Enhancent Card on him.
Du Yu, who was waving his hands, suddenly froze, then was enveloped by the card's light.
The others were sowhat surprised to see Qin Ziwen, after obtaining the card, not using it on himself but on Du Yu.
A smile appeared on Wang Yun's face. This was indeed sothing the captain would do.
When the green light of the Enhancent Card faded, Du Yu stood in place, his eyes tightly closed.
After a long while, he opened his eyes. Although he maintained his previous appearance, the aura about him was completely different, possessing an indescribable, subtle change.
"Thank you, Master." Du Yu's eyes were complex. He felt his current physical fitness was terrifyingly strong, his stamina absurdly abundant. Facing his previous self, he would need at most ten moves.
"Good." Qin Ziwen was very satisfied. Du Yu was already proficient in combat techniques and skilled in archery. Now, with his physical fitness maxed out, he was definitely not inferior to those legendary fierce generals who stood at the peak of human history. All he lacked was an opportunity to prove himself.
Subsequently, everyone discussed how to divide the gatherium.
This giant beast was massive in size.
Relying solely on them, it would be difficult to drag it away completely.
Therefore, Qin Ziwen decided to go ahead first, return ho to recruit more refugees from the Porridge Shed, then lead the refugees up the mountain to work together to bring the gatherium back.
"Master, I will accompany you." Du Yu was worried about Qin Ziwen's safety. Although that Short-faced Bear had left, bears were cunning by nature. It was unknown if it was hiding in the shadows. If the master was alone, he could easily be targeted.
Qin Ziwen thought for a mont, agreeing to Du Yu's request. Then he instructed everyone to be careful of other wild beasts.
The bloody scent released after the gatherium's death might attract beasts. As long as they could drive the beasts away, they shouldn't be stingy with using the Molotov cocktails.
Afterwards, Qin Ziwen and Du Yu went down the mountain together.
Both had high physical fitness, walking swiftly all the way.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and they returned safely to the residential complex.
After returning to his residence, Qin Ziwen called for Li Tieshan, then poured all the remaining rice from the bag into the pot, cooking a huge pot of thin porridge.
As the aroma of rice wafted out, more and more refugees gathered around the boiler, a dense, dark mass of people, shoulder to shoulder...
