With Wei Cha and the others' assistance, the survivors successfully entered the Giant Curtain, during which the Golden Leopard did not reappear.
It was like a nightmare, appearing suddenly and departing just as abruptly, leaving only a shadow in everyone's hearts.
Ma Lu studied the newly acquired Blessings, and due to their sheer number, he decided to sort them by quality, starting with the Golden Blessing.
[Bursting Divine Arrow: When a team member performs a long-range attack and kills the target, there is a 50% chance that an explosion will be triggered within a 3-meter diameter, causing one-time area damage to all creatures in that area.]
The effect of [Bursting Divine Arrow] was similar to another Golden Blessing Ma Lu had obtained before, [Corpse Bomb], both bringing indiscriminate explosive damage upon death.
However, [Corpse Bomb] required sacrificing oneself or a teammate, while [Bursting Divine Arrow] affected the enemy, and its explosive range was much smaller at only 3 meters, and the damage it caused was not as terrifying as [Corpse Bomb].
But considering the astonishing cost of [Corpse Bomb], [Bursting Divine Arrow] was obviously more practical.
Moreover, this Golden Blessing could synergize with the [Splitting Arrow] and [Headshot] he had acquired before.
It seems that the work plan did indeed come into play.
Aside from that, two Purple Blessings also caught Ma Lu's attention.
[Extreme Marksman: When a team member performs a long-range attack, there is a 33% chance to additionally increase the effective attack range by 500%.]
A range-increasing Blessing, also something Ma Lu urgently needed.
The effective range of his Small Hand Crossbow was only 20 meters, a 500% increase would bring it to 120 meters, which, although still not comparable to a sniper rifle, was already close to a common submachine gun and could be used on the city walls.
The other Purple Blessing was even more powerful.
[Pain Link: Designate a target, causing it to link with the seven nearest creatures, transmitting damage to other linked creatures with a 33% chance whenever one of them is attacked, and each transmission halves the damage.]
Another area damage Skill, with a very interesting effect; the damage transmission seemed to be unlimited, meaning if one was lucky enough, it could continue indefinitely, although the damage would be halved with each transmission.
Ma Lu contemplated, feeling that the synergy effect of this Purple Blessing with [Bursting Divine Arrow] should be pretty good.
This time, in addition to the Purple Blessings, the enhanced White Blessings were also quite striking.
A total of 682 White Blessings were strengthened about ten times each on average, the effects now comparable to or even surpassing Blue Blessings.
However, this also made Ma Lu sweat, thankfully there were no White Ground Blessings, the lowest starting with Blue. Otherwise, just for the combat prohibitions, he would have to compile a booklet for the entire team to recite and write from memory for an afternoon.
"Ah?"
"You've seen the beast tide outside the city. The crisis hasn't been resolved yet, and the lives of several hundred thousand people inside the city are still hanging by a thread. As a Hunter, I really can't take leave at a time like this."
Ma Lu's words once again filled Hulk with deep respect.
"Then, please visit whenever you're free," the young guard didn't urge him, "Lord Dionysus's manor will always have its doors open for you."
"Sure."
Ma Lu also wanted to establish a relationship with the judge from the Giant Curtain; it would ensure that no one in the city would dare to trouble the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group in the future.
However, this was something Boggy could handle for him. With his time limited and having earned so many blessings this time around, he definitely had to go hunting for some good items first.
After Hulk and Methe left, Ma Lu turned to look for Boggy, only to find that she had just finished chatting with someone.
And Ma Lu recognized that person, someone he had encountered the first time he came to this plane of existence.
— The current leader of the Harpists, Guli.
"What did he come to see you for?"
"Nothing much, just checking to see if I was alright."

Boggy said expressionlessly, "He had heard that I left the city and originally wanted to bring a team to find me, but the proposal was vetoed by the rest of the Hunting Group."
"Chi Qi?" Ma Lu raised his eyebrows.
"Indeed, he was the one who objected the most, but he did have a point. I'm not with the Harpists anymore, and there's no reason for them to take risks for me."
"Speaking of which, have you decided what to do about Chi Qi?"
"I plan to talk to him in private once all this is over," said Boggy, "It's best if we can come to an agreement and stay out of each other's way in the future."
"And if you can't come to an agreement?" Ma Lu asked again.
Boggy fell silent for a moment, "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
