Ever since entering the park, Song Jian had always felt he was being watched, understanding that someone was attempting to be a “sneak attacker”. Thus, while battling monsters, he dedicated half of his attention to his surroundings;

What Song Jian didn’t expect was that Zhao Sihai was using a long-range sniper rifle, observing them with eight-times magnification, which is why he didn’t notice anything suspicious.

Getting distracted during a battle with a boss is life-threatening, getting distracted in front of a tomb-bearing zombie is just as good as committing suicide;

If the tomb-bearing zombie hadn’t flinched from Song Jian poking its eye, causing it to twist its body, the shot would have hit directly, causing weak point damage, the boss would really have been taken by this sneak attacker;

Thinking about it, Song Jian broke out in a cold sweat: “If he aimed for me and not the boss…”

Thinking of that, Song Jian immediately pulled out a “Vitality Recovery Fruit”, bumping his vitality, which had dropped below half, back up;

“Little Cheap Brother, someone wants to steal our monster!” From a distance, Li Ke’er yelled out in frustration;

“I know, Ke’er, be careful, don’t show your head. He’s carrying a sniper rifle, he might blow your head off!” Song Jian replied;

Li Ke’er hid behind the Ghost Tree, her little eyes flickering, her brows furrowed. After thinking for a while, she took out a fingernail-sized egg from her inventory. The egg’s shell was purple, with tiny golden specks on it, looking like stars.

“Looks like I have to hatch it now!” Li Ke’er sighed like a grown-up, frowning as she pricked her finger, squeezing the wound hard;

This was a pet egg, probably the first one in the game. Li Ke’er received a task to enhance the attributes of the pet egg, but she hadn’t had time to complete it yet. If she hatched it now, the enhancement task would fail;

Li Ke’er frowned, struggling for a while, only managing to squeeze out a drop of blood which she smeared onto the shell of the egg;

When the blood touched the eggshell, it stirred for a moment before slowly dissipating, as if it was absorbed by the egg. In an instant, a dazzling golden light appeared.

Crack crack-

Cracks began to form on the eggshell’s surface and in a short while, a translucent bird the size of a fist emerged from the shell;

The eggshell began to slowly dissolve and as the little bird bent down to eat it all, its body seemed to grow a little more;

After fluffing up its feathers twice, the little bird took flight, hovering in front of Ke’er;

The bird was covered in light purple feathers, its ruby-red eyes two bright spots on its translucent body, making it look like a piece of crystal artwork;

“You’re purple, so I’ll call you Little Purple.” Ke’er looked at the bird, the corner of her mouth curling into a smile, as she reached out to pat its head.

Chirp chirp-

Little Purple chirped as if in agreement with the name she had given;

“Little Purple, find the person who wants to attack us!” Lee Ke’er commanded;

The air around Little Purple began to ripple, making her formerly translucent body fully invisible, just like a body of clear fluid in motion. If you didn’t look carefully, you would have difficulty spotting her;

Leaving a vague trace in the air, Little Purple flew into the distance;

Ke’er’s eyes were half-closed, her vision now synchronized with Little Purple, feeling as if she herself were flying through the air.

She flew over the forest, crossing a small path, and in the middle of a dried-up lake, in an abandoned wooden pavilion, Zhao Sihai was lying on a bench, aiming his sniper rifle at the tree where Song Jian was hiding;

“Damn it, if it the boss hadn’t moved, the last hit would have been mine!” Zhao Sihai was burning with rage, his eyes glowing red;

The person who landed the last hit on the boss would get one-third of the experience points. For a seventh level boss monster, one-third of its experience points were enough for Zhao Sihai to level up once more.

Now, Zhao Sihai had only inflicted over a hundred points of damage on the boss, earning him just over a hundred experience points. This amount of experience was equivalent to killing a normal mutated zombie.

Although he also earned the right to collect the dropped items, how on earth could Zhao Sihai now dare to fight over the spoils with Song Jian?

“Once I kill you, everything will be mine!” Zhao Sihai had already noticed five or six items that the boss had dropped beside it. There were two blue-quality items, the rest green-quality, and even one item emanating an intense black light. All this nearly drove Zhao Sihai insane with jealousy.

“I should have shot that kid first instead of trying to nab the last hit on that boss!” Zhao Sihai regretted a bit;

However, this thought was fleeting. If he hadn’t inflicted any damage on the boss, he wouldn’t have been able to claim the loot from the boss. If the dropped loot remained unclaimed, it would disappear after a period of time instead of letting someone else profit from it;

“You jerk, so it was you, hmph!” With her eyes closed, Li Ke’er huffed softly and looked towards the direction where Song Jian was hiding.

At this moment, while Song Jian was hidden behind a tree, he was unsure of what to do next. He knew the range of the sniper rifle was wide, and only from hearing the gunshots could he tell that the person aiming at him was in the direction of the park entrance, but he had no idea where exactly the person was.

“What should I do? Just drag it out until nightfall?” Song Jian furrowed his brow;

If it dragged on until nightfall, he could take advantage of the night to search for that person. However, monsters became more violent at night, and that person wouldn’t keep watching him. Furthermore, even if that person were to leave, Song Jian wouldn’t know;

Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly heard Li Ke’er’s voice.

“Little Cheap Brother, I found that guy. I’m sharing my vision with you, accept it!”

Soon, a system notification popped up in front of Song Jian;

System: Player “Li Ke’er” has requested vision sharing with you, do you agree?

“Shared vision? What kind of skill is that?” Song Jian was confused but chose to accept nonetheless.

Song Jian immediately felt as if he had gained another pair of eyes, which were looking at the ground from the air. For a moment, he felt slightly dizzy, and quickly closed his eyes to feel better;

“That’s… the little pavilion in the middle of the park?” Through Little Purple’s vision, Song Jian surveyed the surroundings, finally identifying the person’s whereabouts;

This little pavilion was at least five to six hundred meters away from the ghost tree forest where Song Jian was hiding. No wonder he had only vaguely sensed someone’s gaze but couldn’t identify that person’s location;

“So it’s you, hmph, as long as I know where you are, things will become much easier. Just you wait!” Song Jian’s eyes flashed with a murderous intent;

In this game, Song Jian had always been reluctant to hunt down players. After all, everyone only had one life in the game. If you die in the game, you die in real life as well. But now, Song Jian had sentenced Zhao Sihai to death in his heart;
