Chapter 14 Solo Kill (Survival Game)

Aconite was the only poisonous herb that could be found in the starter’s village map. Although the level of the poison was not too high, it was easy to gather them, but the poison herb was nevertheless impressive. In the late game of DUST, it was the component for numerous poison recipes. However, the usage of unrefined aconite was limited, so to use it as a killing means was quite difficult.

Xia Mo soaked her darts in the juices of aconite. And then left them to dry in the sun. After that, she would soak the darts again and dried them again. She would repeat the actions a few more times until the white of the darts had been dyed to dark green.

After counting, she had created 30 such darts. It should be enough.

She stood up and neatly tied the darts to her waist. Lushan Baomu also readied himself after seeing what Xia Mo had done. He quickly finished the grilled fish in a few bites and washed him hands in the river. When he wanted to follow her, Xia Mo turned around and stared at him without saying a single word. Lushan Baomu was disheartened.

“Wait for me here,” Xiao Mo adjusted her clothes.

He was stunned and looked at Xia Mo in fear. He wanted to stop her from leaving but hesitated. He followed her for a few steps and said:” Liu Huo sister, did I do anything wrong? I will change for the better. But please don’t leave me.”

Xia Mo frowned her eyebrows, glanced at him again and felt that there was a generation gap between each other.

“Wait for me on top of that tree,” Xia Mo looked up and pointed to the densest tree near her.

“Liu Huo sister…” he tilted his head to look at her. He was touched inside.

“I will be back for you, but do not create any unnecessary troubles,” Xia Mo looked at his ignorant face and continued,” Do you understand?”

“Hmmm,” Lushan Baomu nodded his head,” I know, I will hide myself well, so that no one will find me! Liu Huo sister, you can be at ease.” He paused for a while. “You will definitely be back!”

Xia Mo frowned, the feeling of been depend by others made her uncomfortable. She ran off quickly and disappear from the view of Lushan Baomu, leaving him astonished. After a while, he cleaned up the mess from the grilling of the fishes and climbed up the assigned tree.

Following the edge of the forest for 2 hours, Xia Mo felt lethargic and stopped to recover. She continued onto her destination after observing that there was no danger around her. Not long after, Xia Mo stopped and lowered her head to check the grounds.

If she recalled correctly, there should be a camp nearby that was occupied by a band of bandits. This was the only spot where there are humanoid monsters in the starter map. The spawn location was very well hidden and quite a hassle to deal with.

In her previous life, she was a normal player that loitered too long in the starter village. And that was how she managed to locate the spawn location. She already had the intention to attack this location when she started the game in her second life. In DUST, the only way to obtain equipments from monsters was to attack humanoid mobs. If she wanted to stay ahead of the pack, she had to take a risk.

There were a lot of fallen leaves on the soft ground. This made it hard to leave any footprints. Xia Mo looked at the ground carefully to find some traces of where the bandits exact whereabouts. Even though it was quite tough, she managed to analyse that this path was where 1 or 2 bandits would walk by during their guard duty.

After she determined the route, she chose a tree that was very nearby and had abundant amount of leaves. Xia Mo climbed up the tree quickly and squatted on the thickest branch with the blowgun ready. She tried to feel the attack range of the blowgun while closely observing the path nearby. Xia Mo proceeded to hide her presence to prepare for the first strike.

To wait for the enemy was not only time consuming, it was also stamina draining as she had to maintain the same posture for many hours. Xia Mo was patient in such a scenario but her stamina was not up to her standard even though she had amassed quite a fair bit of attributes in the meantime, her Endurance and Stamina did not have much increase. It was especially taxing on her body in such a long duration of time.

Humans are a unique species. As you get more worn out, and if you endure it further, you will somehow be able to make a breakthrough and feel relaxed after that. Otherwise, you will be too exhausted and suffer the backlash.

Xia Mo felt her exhaustion creeping into her. But she still told herself that she had to endure a bit more. She kept encouraging herself and suddenly she heard a movement of footsteps from afar. The movements were slow and rhythmic as the sound got closer. She started to held her breath, and saw a bandit with some clothing protection walking towards the tree that she was at.

Only 1 bandit. Even the gods were helping me.

Xia Mo smiled with an uncontrollable excitement in her heart. She breathed in deeply to calm herself down. This would help her to steady her hands and she was so well camouflaged as though she was part of the tree.

Getting closer.

As she saw the lone bandit going into the attack range of the blowgun, she took her time to aim at his neck which was the most exposed area. The spike was not too sharp and with the pressure of the blowgun, it was not possible to kill someone. Xia Mo could only depend on the poison of her dart.

Finally, the bandit was within her range.

A “poof” sound was heard as the blackish dart split the air and aimed towards its target!
