Dark Druid?Qin Tian's eyes flashed. Druids are a very peculiar race on Elf Star. They are not Elves, but they coexist with Elves and are highly trusted partners of the Elf Race.Druids are born with the ability of Transformation Skill, allowing them to transform into various animal forms, some of which possess very special abilities.Dark Druids, on the other hand, are formed when ordinary Druids undergo fel energy conversion. They possess a more formidable physique than ordinary Druids, and some of their beast forms have mutated, making their combat power no weaker than Dark Elves of the same level.Boom!!Fel energy surged around the Black Panther's body, and the aura it released made both Qin Tian and Alan feel a sense of oppression.“Be careful, he is a fifth-order Dark Druid.”Alan's expression changed slightly as he shouted a warning.“I know!”Qin Tian raised his hand and fired a shot, but the Black Panther anticipated his movement and dodged the shot with a push of its hind legs.Once a sniper is exposed in the enemy's line of sight, the advantage of sniping is completely lost.“I'll stop him, you find a position.”Having fought together for so long, Alan was already familiar with Qin Tian's fighting style. He gripped his sword and charged directly, engaging in close combat with the Black Panther.He thrust out several swords with sharp piercing power, but the Black Panther's sleek fur was like steel plates, seemingly indestructible under the enhancement of fel energy.“Roar~”The Black Panther pushed off the ground with its hind legs, instantly bursting with astonishing speed. Its claws brushed past Alan's chest, and the fel energy was knocked down by a white light. However, the extremely sharp panther claws still cut several gashes in Alan's clothes, revealing his fair, almost transparent skin.Bang!!A bullet shot down from above, piercing the fel energy shield. It was originally aimed at the eyes, but the Black Panther's reaction was too fast. In that fraction of a second, it flashed aside and dodged.“So fast.”Qin Tian stood on a branch, his body completely merged into the darkness of the tree's shadow, not a single trace of his aura leaking out.For that shot, he used Hidden Kill's full power mode and simultaneously activated Burning Ashes Critical Strike. Logically, it should have been enough to pose a threat to a fifth-order expert.However, the Black Panther's reaction speed was too fast, and at the same time, the bullet's lethality was a bit lacking, which led to this shot failing to achieve success.Below, Alan and the Black Panther were fighting fiercely, but from the combat scene, Alan was in constant danger and couldn't keep up with the Black Panther's speed. Fortunately, he seemed to be wearing some kind of treasure that allowed him to avoid injury.It was time to add some serious force.Qin Tian narrowed his eyes. Hidden Kill, after being modified by a Rune Master, was currently in its strongest state. To increase the bullet's lethality, he could only approach it from another angle.Invest 100,000 evolution points to strengthen the talent Burning Ashes Critical Strike.The azure light sphere vibrated violently, and then, a hint of purple appeared. Soon, the entire light sphere turned purple.“Name: Heaven's Mandate Strike (Purple)”“Type: Active Talent. Description: Consumes up to 5% of will, stamina, and energy to inject the power of Heaven's Mandate into the next attack. The attack has a chance to trigger multiple tiers of critical strike effects:”“Basic Critical Strike: 80% chance to deal 300%-400% damage;”“Rare Critical Strike: 15% chance to deal 400%-600% damage;”“Epic Critical Strike: 4% chance to deal 600%-800% damage;”“Legendary Critical Strike: 1% chance to trigger the ultimate Heaven's Mandate effect, dealing 800%-1000% damage.”“Evolution Trait: If Heaven's Mandate Strike successfully kills the target, 50% of the consumed portion will be returned. Additionally, every three consecutive uses of Heaven's Mandate Strike will definitely trigger a Rare Critical Strike. Every five consecutive uses of Heaven's Mandate Strike will definitely trigger an Epic Critical Strike. Every ten consecutive uses of Heaven's Mandate Strike will definitely trigger a Legendary Critical Strike.”“Good!”When he saw the description of the new talent, Qin Tian couldn't help but inwardly cheer.Compared to Burning Ashes Critical Strike, Heaven's Mandate Strike was numerically stronger, with the consumption reduced from 10% of stamina, mental power, and energy per use to 5%.The maximum critical strike value also increased by 100%-200% overall.But this was not the main point. Its true power lay in the return of consumption after a kill and the guaranteed high critical strikes from consecutive uses of the talent.Every three consecutive uses guaranteed a 4 to 6 times critical damage trigger, every five uses triggered 6-8 times critical damage, and every ten uses guaranteed an 8-10 times critical strike.From relying on luck to accumulating uses.The importance of luck was greatly reduced, making this talent much more controllable.Bang!The special bullet shot out from the gun barrel. Under the enhancement of Heaven's Mandate Strike, the bullet's initial velocity became faster and its penetration stronger.“~”The Black Panther sensed the impending danger in advance. Its body suddenly changed, transforming from a Black Panther into a massive Black Bear resembling a small hill.The three-times critical strike bullet shot through the fel energy shield, penetrated the Black Bear's fur, and entered its body. However, the Black Bear's steel-like muscles clamped down on the bullet, making it difficult for it to advance.Alan thrust out three swords, but couldn't even break the Black Bear's skin. Compared to [N O V E L I G H T] the Black Panther from before, the Black Bear's movements were sluggish, but its defense was terrifyingly high.“Roar!!!”The Black Bear pounded its chest and roared, raising its head, its crimson eyes staring directly at Qin Tian who stood in the shadows of the trees.“Seeking death!”A cold light flashed in Qin Tian's eyes. His body disappeared into the shadows, his aura concealed, and he instantly vanished from the Black Bear's perception.The Black Bear roared, thinking Qin Tian had escaped. It turned around and pounced on Alan like a mountain collapsing, its massive bear paw striking down, fel energy surging, and the air exploding with a sonic boom.Alan's feet flowed with azure light, like a Spirit Cat, nimbly dodging the Black Bear's pounce. Compared to the Black Panther from before, the offensive pressure the Black Bear brought him was actually much smaller.Seeing this, the Black Bear bared its fangs, its body shook, and it transformed back into its Black Panther form, pouncing towards Alan. This time, its speed was as fast as lightning, and its sharp claws gently tore across Alan's neck.Fortunately, the spiritual artifact Alan carried activated a protective shield in time, blocking the panther claws.“~”The Black Panther crouched on all fours, let out a low growl at Alan, then an unusual glint flashed in its eyes, and it pushed off with its feet, rushing towards the depths of the forest.Trying to run?Alan was about to give chase, when suddenly, something seemed to flash past his eyes. The next instant, the Black Panther's body stiffened,Its head exploded with a bang.What?A fifth-order Druid could also be headshotted with one shot?Alan turned his head sharply, but couldn't find Qin Tian's figure at all.In the shadows, Qin Tian slowly put away his gun, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.He was lucky just now; the second shot triggered a rare 5x critical hit. Additionally, Heaven's Mandate Strike paired very well with a certain trait from the Top Hunter talent.“Top Hunter: The first attack launched from a concealed state deals 100% increased damage and has a certain chance to ignore the target's defense, directly dealing true damage to it.”With a five-times critical hit, plus 100% increased damage, let alone the Black Panther form, even the more defensive Black Bear form would be taken down with one shot.From now on, Qin Tian could be said to have truly mastered the ability to stably threaten and even kill fifth-order experts.Whoosh~ Whoosh~Two blue light spheres flew into his body. One of them replaced the original Fel Energy Control, becoming a deeper color, while the other was the Dark Druid's signature ability—Dark Transformation Skill.
