"Choosing blessings was actually something Ma Lu couldn't afford to scrutinize in detail, especially after purchasing 'Troubles of Happiness' which turned the original three options into four, making it even more dazzling to the eye."
"In the end, it was because he received too many blessings at once. Ma Lu could only follow the principle of choosing wherever the color looked brighter, and if they were the same, then prioritize attributes, haphazardly pressing away."
"This way of choosing would definitely cause him to miss out on some high-quality blessings, but it was still better than wasting the opportunity to choose."
"The 60 seconds quickly passed, and the members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group gained an additional 8 purple, 42 blue, and 29 white blessings."
"Adding those to the two Three-humped Wolf Camels they had killed earlier, along with the beasts Sadie had taken care of along the way, the total number of blessings had already surpassed a hundred."
"The enhancements to strength, speed, stamina, and reflexes were increased by 97%, 113%, 139%, and 85%, respectively."
"The significant increase in attributes brought Ma Lu a renewed sense of security; his only regret was that among so many prey, not a single Golden Blessing had burst forth."
"Afterwards, he flipped through the 8 Purple Blessings he had obtained."
"Since he hadn't used the 'work plan' yet, these 8 blessings were quite varied, encompassing all types."
"Ma Lu didn't react much when looking at the first few, but as his gaze landed on the last Purple Blessing, his eyes suddenly sharpened."
"Then, he hurriedly called out, 'Everyone, listen, don't look at the sun!!!'"
"In the end, he added solemnly, worried that the others might not realize the severity, 'Absolutely, absolutely don't look at the sun! You'll go blind!'"
"But before his words finished, he heard a hunter scream in panic."
"'I! I can't see!!! What's going on?! Why can't I see anything!'"
"[Bright Light Blindness: In battle, those who directly look at the sun, whether friend or foe, have a 33% chance of entering a blinded state for 10 seconds]"
"Field-type blessings, yet again a field-type blessing."
"This time it was Ma Lu's fault; he was too quick to act, and in his haste to choose, he accidentally picked a field-type blessing."
"Fortunately, it was still relatively easy to avoid looking at the sun, provided one was willing to listen."
"Anyway, Boggy and the others had been with Ma Lu long enough to understand immediately upon hearing what he said."
[Splitting Arrow: Team members have a 33% chance of splitting off another attack of equal power when making long-range attacks, hitting the enemy unit closest to the target.]
Among these, [Headshot] and [Quenching Poison] were already familiar friends, and the remaining [Great Shield Strike Blessing] was somewhat similar to the dragon knight's dragon tail sweep, both carrying a stunning effect.
[Now You Conduct Electricity] was an auxiliary divine skill for electric psychic power users, with no damage in itself, but once this debuff was applied, throwing in a skill attack could deal four times the damage.
In the end, Ma Lu still chose [Splitting Arrow] to activate the effects of the work plan.
The reason was simple, the squad was about to enter the city, and they could hide behind the city walls for ranged output; in such an environment, ranged professions were definitely easier to deal damage and had more security.
Seeing that there were only 500 meters left to the city gate, those Bloodsucking Tail Weasels were finally startled and swarmed over.
Their combat power was inferior to the Two-Headed Hyenas, but once bitten, they would latch onto the prey like leeches, not letting go until they had drained the target's blood, even if their heads were chopped off.
Moreover, their numbers were a bit too great, with at least a hundred, and faces of Wang Zhen and the others turned solemn upon facing them, all bracing themselves as if facing a formidable enemy.
Only Ma Lu was eager to try; he was already planning to make his move, but at that moment came the sound of hinges turning from Gate 3, and the heavy iron gate slowly opened to both sides.
The nearby beasts, seeing this, temporarily abandoned their pursuit of the survivors outside the city and scrambled to rush inside.
However, what awaited them was a blazing inferno that descended from the sky, its domineering flames seeming intent on consuming all in heaven and earth!
Then a burly figure emerged from the Sea of Flames.
A cheer went up among the crowd, "It's Wei Cha, the leader of Flame Tooth from the Giant Curtain!"
Flame Tooth was an old-established Golden Hunting Group from the Giant Curtain, and its leader, Wei Cha, was a fire attribute psychic power user. His psychic powers were formidable, though not comparable to Mai Mai's Electric Field, but they had the advantage of being reusable and longer-lasting.
Gate 3 had opened five minutes ahead of the original schedule, marking the emergence of hunters from inside the city to the rescue.
Apart from Flame Tooth, there were two other hunting groups, totaling nineteen people, all of them high-level experts.
Even though the Golden Leopard had just appeared below the city wall, there were still brave souls who dared to venture out of the city to rescue the trapped, unafraid of the Golden Reaper's fearsome reputation.
And upon seeing those rescuers, many hunters beside Ma Lu wept with joy, even Hulk and Methe had joy written all over their faces, feeling as if they had narrowly escaped death.
Only Ma Lu's heart sank; he thought, is this guy planning to steal the kill?
Those hundred-plus 2-star Bloodsucking Tail Weasels had already been reserved by him, just waiting for them to rush over to begin a massive harvest, but as soon as Wei Cha and his group showed up, the Bloodsucking Tail Weasels turned tail.
