Chapter 142 Cute And Innocent Squirrel



After 30 minutes of walking in haste, Alex finally came out of the pyramid and was greeted by the bright sun.

"Ahh~ It still feels better here outside compared to that gloomy pyramid."

Shaking his head, Alex jumped out of the pyramid and landed at the bottom.

Patting the dust off his hands, Alex said, "Now, I should avoid going inside some unknown structures like this pyramid again in the future."

"Being cautious will help me live longer."

After dropping such words, Alex didn't delay and immediately started moving.

Right now, Alex's only goal is to find 3 more Legendary-class monsters.

However, it seems that it was really harder than expected.

"Haa~, I've been walking for hours but how come I still haven't seen a Legendary-class."

Alex said as he pulled out his knife from the body of a 15 feet long giant worm with countless teeth that looked like shredder.

Sighing, Alex familiarly used [Sacrifice] on the carcass of the dead worm.

[You 'Sacrificed' a 3-Star monster, +50 free attribute points.]

Alex didn't even bother to look at the notification before he started walking.

It's been 2 hours since Alex came out of the pyramid.

And within that time, he already met and killed hundreds of monsters who are all at 3-Stars.

Even though he was happy to get more attribute points from those monsters at first, Alex finally lost excitement after a while.

And the reason for that is because he still hasn't seen even a shadow of a new Legendary-class monster!

That's why Alex felt so frustrated already.

"Is the passive luck effect of my talent not taking effect? I really want to finish this trial and go back to Earth to eat and sleep!"

With no other choice, Alex finally decided to let [Fortune] lead the way to where a Legendary-class monster could be hiding.

[Luck Points: 2,721]

-1

...

Alex looked at the decreasing luck points that he has and sighed.

"This is why as much as possible, I only want to find Legendary-class monsters with the help of my talent's passive but..."

Alex can only sigh again at the end of his words.

For Alex, luck points are a very valuable resource that could possibly save his life if ever he encounters a situation that he can't handle.

That's why as much as possible, Alex only used luck points to get better drops from monsters since it only consumes a small amount of luck points.

Now, for an expedition like this, Alex knows that this might consume a lot of luck points.

It could vary from a hundred, a thousand, or maybe all of his luck points.

However, it seems like Alex still underestimated the power of luck points to some extent.

Shrieek!

Not even a minute since Alex turned on [Fortune], a loud cry suddenly came from the sky.

Alex can hear that it's different from the cry of the dragon.

With a knife in his hand, Alex targeted the head of the squirrel and stabbed it.

It seems like Alex's luck is still high and he luckily hit the squirrel directly in its eye.

Puchi!

The knife smoothly entered inside the squirrel's eyes and even pushed in deeper into the head of the squirrel.

An attack in that area immediately resulted in a critical hit, causing great damage to the squirrel.

-270,117!

Alex looked at the health of the squirrel and immediately saw that it decreased by almost 1⁄3!

Such great damage!

Shrieeeek!!

The squirrel cried loudly, full of pain in its voice.

It started vigorously shaking its head to get rid of Alex's knife on its head.

However, Alex's stats are too high compared to the squirrel's.

Each one of Alex's stats is already close to 20 thousand and there are still thousands more free attribute points that he can distribute if he ever wants to.

So, the squirrel didn't manage to get rid of Alex.

Instead, Alex grabbed its fur on its, pulled out the knife from its eye, before stabbing it on the other side.

Puchi!

SHRIEEEEK!!

With both of its eyes gone, the screams of the squirrel have become louder and louder.

The pain from its voice can also be felt by anyone if they are around.

At the same time, Alex also heard a cry that came from the spirit of the squirrel.

This just means that the pain that the squirrel is suffering from right now is enough for it to lose control of its own power.

To subconsciously let out its cry even through its ability.

Learning its lesson, the squirrel backed away from Alex.

At the same time, it spitted out nuts like machine guns to stop Alex from trying to get closer.

Even though it already lost both of its eyes, the squirrel still shot the nuts at Alex very accurately as if it could still see him.

Ting! Ting!

Alex waved around his knife to deflect the nuts coming his way.

After gaining quite some distance, the squirrel stopped spitting nuts and turned around.

Then it hurriedly started running fast before opening its hands wide.

Suddenly, the body of the squirrel floated in the air and was about to start flying.

Of course, Alex won't just sit and watch his prey escape.

Especially when it's a prey that took him a long time to find.

Looking at the escaping squirrel, Alex said, "Stupid rodent, if you didn't dare to bare your fangs on me, I would have let you go since you looked innocent."

"But since you showed me your disgusting true nature, then don't blame me for hunting you down!"

Kicking his feet off the sandy ground, Alex appeared behind the squirrel in just a blink of an eye and grabbed its feet.

Without hesitation, Alex pulled the squirrel back and slammed it into the ground.

Ack!

Alex didn't even give the squirrel a chance to get up before he jumped up high, started spinning in the air, and landed at the squirrel's face with his feet.

Boom!

That attack caused such a loud noise that sounded almost like an explosion in the desert.

The dust and sand covered the place for a while before it all disappeared, revealing the figure of Alex standing above a dead giant squirrel.
