Chapter 155: Kill-Stealing? Showdown

[Name]Dark Transformation Technique (Blue)

[Type]Active Talent

[Introduction]This is an ancient transformation technique mastered by Druids, specially modified to resonate with natural shadow energy, allowing transformation into various animal forms infused with wild power. Each form comes with unique combat traits and environmental adaptability. The specific forms and abilities are as follows:

1. Shadow Bear Form: Body enlarges, skin covered with a rock-like keratin layer, physical defense increased by 60%, maximum life value increased by 40%, when life value falls below 30%, immediately restores 20% of maximum life value, limited to triggering once per battle.

2. Shadow Leopard Form: Limbs turn into claws, movement speed increased by 80%, attacks inflict bleeding damage, allowing swift passage through complex terrain.

3. Shadow Crow Form: Transform into a flock of shadow crows, flying in the sky, each crow possesses the ability of energy breath, individual combat power is highly linked to the Druid’s power.

"Not bad."

Upon seeing the new talent, Qin Tian’s eyes lit up.

The three forms of the Dark Transformation Technique enhance defense, speed, and range attack capability, respectively. While they might not be frequently used, they can prove surprisingly effective at certain moments.

Moreover, this talent’s level is only blue; if upgraded to purple or even orange, he might have a chance to transform into a dragon or phoenix, undoubtedly a talent with great potential.

After the black panther was shot in the head, its body shuddered and ultimately turned into a headless corpse, with long and strong limbs. The skin was somewhat rough, with black markings from its evil transformation.

Alan stood beside the Druid’s corpse, pursing his lips, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.

Tap

Qin Tian jumped down from the tree, landing firmly on his feet.

Alan adjusted his expression, looking at Qin Tian in amazement, and said:

"Qin Tian, your weapon is amazing; it can kill a Tier Five Dark Druid."

Among the Elf race, there are also many powerful archers capable of taking down Tier Five enemies with bows and arrows.

However, the power of a bow and arrow depends entirely on the archer. The greater the archer’s strength, the stronger the spiritual energy, and the more exquisite the archery, the more powerful the shot arrows.

But Qin Tian’s weapon seems not to consume his personal strength and energy, yet its destructive power is terrifyingly strong.

Qin Tian glanced at Alan and said calmly:

"This is a Rune Sniper Rifle; the bullets are enhanced by rune power, possessing extremely high kinetic energy and penetration."

Rune Spear?

Alan, intrigued, asked, "Can I try it out?"

Qin Tian raised an eyebrow:

"A unique weapon, not for lending."

"Stingy, at worst we could temporarily swap weapons."

Alan handed the longsword in his hand to Qin Tian, saying, "This sword is a family heirloom. Its value definitely surpasses your sniper rifle. How about it, I’ll just try it twice and return it to you afterward."

Qin Tian glanced at the treasured sword in Alan’s hand, and under his expectant gaze, slowly said:

"I... refuse."

"Ah, why refuse? I’ll just try it, not snatch your weapon."

Alan babbled on.

"Come on, just let me try it, just one shot. I’ll return it right after firing."

"How about it, can I or not, say something, Qin... mm~"

Qin Tian covered Alan’s mouth, speaking coldly:

"Someone’s coming."

Upon hearing this, Alan immediately entered combat mode, body slightly tense, spiritual energy gathered but not released.

Soon after

A series of chaotic footsteps came from ahead.

Shortly, several figures appeared, holding weapons, first glancing at Qin Tian and Alan, and then fixing their gaze on the headless corpse.

"Brother Lei, that’s the Dark Druid’s corpse, it’s dead."

One of the crew-cut men shouted loudly, his voice tinged with anger.

"That’s right, the wound on its back was cut by me, it’s the one."

The man called Brother Lei glanced at the bird above, anger welling inside, looking sharply at Qin Tian and Alan, and said coldly:

"We wasted half a day’s effort, getting injured, just to wound this Dark Druid, and finally you two picked the fruit. Which division are you from, daring to claim battle achievements right under our Huoshan Mercenary Corps’ nose."

Hearing this, Alan immediately retorted:

"Who knows if it was wounded by you? It was trying to kill us, and we weren’t supposed to fight back?"

"You brat, stealing our battle achievements and still shouting here!"

The crew-cut man looked fierce, "Brother Lei, don’t waste words on them, if we don’t deal with them today, it won’t be fair to our injured brothers!"

Brother Lei calmly observed Qin Tian and Alan, his gaze lingering on the Shadowstrike in Qin Tian’s hand for a few seconds.

Sniper rifle?

Able to blow off the Dark Druid’s head, it seems likely to be a Rune Sniper Rifle.

Brother Lei sneered; if this sniper was hidden, he’d genuinely be a bit scared, but a sniper right in front of him posed no threat.

As for the kid who seemed not even mature yet, he needn’t worry about him.

"Move, teach them a lesson!"

Brother Lei tapped his arm a few times, the henchmen instantly understanding this meant to break their arms.

Qin Tian’s eyes lowered slightly, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Mercenaries truly are a bunch of unworthy characters.

Here they were, still on the battlefield, yet to repel the enemy, and these members calling themselves the Huoshan Mercenary Corps intended to attack fellow humans over the issue of battle achievements.

Selfish, lawless, with no sense of the bigger picture, completely manifested in them.

Since that’s the case, don’t blame him for being rude.

Marking the few of them with the Hunting Mark, Qin Tian quietly mobilized his spiritual energy, and if they dared to make a move, he’d add a few more souls to his gun’s tally.

Boom!!!

Several mercenaries released their spiritual energy, glaring fiercely at Qin Tian and Alan.

Alan gripped the longsword tightly, remarkably calm after a morning of bloody trials, the blade entwined with green spiritual energy, ready to strike.

Just as the tension reached its peak, about to explode, suddenly, a low voice came from the side.

"What are you all doing?"

Rustle

Li Canghai, deputy captain of Squad 18, quickly ran over, standing in front of Qin Tian and Alan, facing Brother Lei and his group, and said:

"Old Lei, this area is under Squad 18’s responsibility. Whatever the issue, talk to me."

"Captain Li."

Brother Lei waved his hand, signaling to the henchmen to pause, sneeringly said:

"We injured and pursued for a long time the Tier Five Dark Druid, and these two kids snatched it, costing us a lot of battle achievements. You should be well aware of this."

"So, how should this matter be resolved?"

Tier Five... Dark Druid?

Only then did Li Canghai notice the headless corpse not far at his feet, a flash of astonishment in his eyes.

These two kids, could they really be this fierce?
