Universe Infinite Canteen

There's no rush to test for poison; Ma Lu decided to choose his blessing first.

This time there were two golden blessings, but unfortunately, he could only choose one.

Ma Lu first looked at the first blessing.

[Bone-Adhering Poison: Every attack by team members doubles the ongoing damage caused by the poison effect and has a 50% chance of re-poisoning the target after the duration ends]

This golden blessing was still related to poison and its effects were very powerful; theoretically, as long as he was lucky enough, a single poisoning could continuously extend its effect, with the ongoing damage doubled.

Unfortunately, Ma Lu couldn't use it; the Purple Blessing [Harmless Treatment] had sacrificed all ongoing poison damage for a fourfold increase in Toxin Stacking speed.

As a result, the damage enhancement of [Bone-Adhering Poison] was rendered useless, with only the 50% re-poisoning chance having some limited effect.

Simply put, even though both were related to poison, they didn't necessarily belong to the same school.

The system Ma Lu was currently building revolved around the Purple Blessing [Toxin Stacking] as the core, with other blessings serving to trigger the [Toxin Stacking] effect faster, resulting in an explosive one-time high damage impact.

But [Bone-Adhering Poison] focused on enhancing the ongoing poison effect damage.

The two weren't very compatible.

Therefore, Ma Lu shifted his attention to the second golden blessing.

[Super Mimicry Show: Designate a target to mimic their abilities with automatic triggering conditions, mimicry duration 30 seconds, cooldown time 2 hours]

This blessing seemed interesting.

With it, Ma Lu could mimic Seta's Sand Soil Puppet for a bit of fun, or Sadie's Thorns, and then there was Boggy... well, maybe not Boggy.

However, it seemed most worthwhile to mimic Mai Mai's Electric Field.

Ma Lu had witnessed the power of the Electric Field; it was a terrifying ability certified by Captain Li.

And with a 2-hour refresh, wouldn't that mean Ma Lu could unleash an Electric Field every two hours?

The more he thought about it, the more Ma Lu realized how precious this blessing was.

Unfortunately, the hunt was nearing its end, and he reckoned he'd probably only get to enjoy this thing once.

Still, Ma Lu didn't hesitate to choose [Super Imitation Show].

Hogg was already dumbfounded; his group of six was struggling against a Lava Giant Lizard, while on the other side, Boggy's trio had already easily emerged victorious.

And it had been less than ten minutes since the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group arrived here. What's worse, the death of that Lava Giant Lizard caused the one they were fighting to go berserk.

It opened its mouth and began furiously spewing lava.

The members of the Skyline Hunting Group dodged in disarray, forcing Hogg to speak up again, addressing Boggy.

"Can you help us out again?"

Your journey continues on m-vle-mpyr

Hogg looked somewhat embarrassed, perhaps feeling that his request was a bit much. The Twin Sunflower Hunting Group had already killed one Lava Giant Lizard for them, alleviating a lot of pressure, yet they still couldn't take down the remaining one.

Seeing Boggy's hesitation, Hogg hurriedly added, "The Lava Giant Lizard was killed by you, and according to the Hunter's Convention, it should belong to you. If you are willing to take action again, you can have half of this one too."

Upon hearing this, Seta's eyes widened; the Lava Giant Lizard was coveted by gourmets for its unique flavor due to its fondness for bathing in lava.

Moreover, with its rarity and the difficulty of hunting, it was worth a fortune.

Seta hadn't expected Hogg to be so generous, offering them one and a half lizards like that, knowing that they had discovered both Lava Giant Lizards first.

But mere discovery was useless, the Skyline Hunting Group clearly lacked the strength to hunt these two Lava Giant Lizards, and two of their members had been severely injured as a result. If it hadn't been for Boggy and others arriving in time, who knows how many of them could have made it back to the Giant Curtain alive.

It seemed that Hogg truly had no way to deal with the Lava Giant Lizards.

Had they been in good condition before, they might have been able to defeat the foes before them, but the members of the Skyline Hunting Group had been battling the two Lava Giant Lizards for too long. They each looked exhausted, and their psychic power was nearly depleted.

If the battle dragged on, lives might be lost, so Hogg had no choice but to seek assistance from the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group again.

Seta had been waiting for Boggy's command. Seeing him nod, Seta immediately let out a cheer and began to control his Sand Soil Puppet to join the attack on the other Lava Giant Lizard.

His sister, Sadie, followed closely behind, and Boggy, as the main poisoner, quickly went along as well.

Ma Lu and Mai Mai, acting like a touring group, followed leisurely behind them.

Ma Lu was planning to use [Super Mimicry Show] to tease an Electric Field out of Mai Mai when he suddenly noticed Mai Mai had stopped in her tracks.

"Something's not right!"

"What's wrong?"

"The boots they're wearing seem to be insulating boots." Mai Mai had only realized upon getting closer.

While they were talking, a member of the Skyline Hunting Group stumbled while dodging lava, and as he was right beside Seta, Seta instinctively reached out to help him.

The next moment, the man pulled out a dagger hidden in his sleeve. Seta's gaze was still fixed on the lava in the sky, completely oblivious to the idea that the man he had just saved would turn around and attack him.

Therefore, not even his enhanced speed and reflexes were of any use.

It was only when a sharp pain pierced his chest that Seta's eyes went from excitement to bewilderment.

"Brother!"

Seta heard a scream, and in the corner of his eye, he glimpsed his sister's face, distorted by terror. He moved his throat, as if trying to say something.

But, in the next moment, the assailant had already pulled the dagger out of his heart.

Darkness fell before Seta's eyes, and he collapsed to the ground, powerless.

"Move in!" Hogg commanded in a low voice, nowhere near as flustered and embarrassed as before, "Kill them all!"

Except for the two who were still restraining the Lava Lizard, the rest turned around in unison.

They quickly put on insulated gloves, and without a doubt, they were also wearing insulated clothing underneath their hunting clothes.

In that instant, Boggy, Mai Mai, and Ma Lu all realized that these people were after them.

They obviously had a thorough understanding of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group's personnel composition, knowing that Mai Mai's Electric Field was formidable, hence they had prepared countermeasures in advance.

Boggy wanted to create some distance between them and their opponents, but Sadie had already madly dashed towards the spot where her brother had fallen, releasing almost all of her Thorns in one breath.

But their opponents were also prepared. As soon as Sadie lifted her hand, a girl with a melon-seed-shaped face immediately released her telekinetic power.

Controlling four large steel shields, she blocked the incoming Thorns.

They had clearly done their homework on the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group, understanding each member's characteristics and attack methods.

A smug look appeared on the face of the girl with the melon-seed-shaped face, but her smugness didn't last long.

She might have easily caught Sadie's telekinetic attack, but Sadie also had the enhanced speed, strength, and reflexes provided by Meat Pigeon.

Sadie sprinted with all her might, reaching the killer in no time at all.
