I Maximize My Item-dropping Rate-Chapter 39: Unable to Investigate

Boom!

The entire wall of the house was as fragile as tofu under Xiao Shi's impact. It collapsed instantly. Broken rocks flew everywhere.

Tong Pei was originally sitting in front of a table against the wall, silently planning this operation. Suddenly, the wall in front of him exploded with a loud bang.

A figure filled with blood and qi smashed through the wall and table at a speed that he could not react to at all and crashed into him.

In an instant, Tong Pei felt as if he had been hit by a meteorite. His eyeballs protruded, and blood seeped out of his mouth and nose. Ear-piercing sounds of bones shattering came from his entire chest and abdomen. There were even pieces of internal organs mixed with blood spat out from his mouth.

Boom!!

His entire body flew backward like a tattered sack. He slammed into the wall behind the house, causing the other wall to collapse and fly out of the house.

A long mark was left on the ground. It extended from the room to the outside.

Tong Pei fell to the ground like a dead dog. His bones and tendons were all broken, and his entire body was bleeding. He raised his head with difficulty. He wanted to see who attacked him.

However, because his injuries were too serious, his vision was blurry and he could not see clearly. He felt a hand gently on the back of his head.

Puff!

Xiao Shi pressed Tong Pei's head to the ground.

Blood splattered everywhere.

It ended his sinful life.

The entire killing process was much easier than the previous one.

This also allowed Xiao Shi to clearly feel how great his improvement after three body temperings was through actual combat.

Even if it was the strongest type of eighth-stage Martial Entry-Level, it was extremely easy for him to kill.

Although there was the element of a sneak attack, Xiao Shi was confident that he could easily kill him even if the other party was prepared. He could easily kill anyone below the Martial Entry-Level Nine.

Whoosh!

He quickly picked up the item that had fallen to the ground. Xiao Shi's figure entered the darkness and quickly left. This time, he did not intend to appear as a night patroller. If he, the night patroller, appeared at the crime scene every time a bounty hunter died, it was inevitable that there would be suspicion.

He was prepared to return to the Night Patrol Division and pretend that he didn't know anything. With his current familiarity with the Golden Cloud City and his speed at night, he easily avoided the many patrolling night patrollers.

He arrived at the area far away from the crime scene and walked back to the Night Patrol Division. He did not attract anyone's attention. He silently returned to the Night Patrol Division's residence.

Xiao Shi could not wait to take out his gains this time.

"Unfortunately, no heavenly treasure dropped this time."

Xiao Shi felt that it was a pity. What he wanted the most now was heavenly treasures. Although it was easy to drop heavenly treasures by killing martial artists above Martial Entry-Level Seven, it was not guaranteed that heavenly treasures would drop every time.

He shook his head.

Xiao Shi looked at the item in his hand. It was a flag the size of a palm. Under his gaze, information about the item quickly appeared in his vision.

[Name: Swamp Array]

[Type: Array]

[Grade: Martial Entry-Level]

[Introduction: A powerful array formation set up by an array master proficient in array formations. By inserting the array flags into the ground, the array formation can be activated.]

[Remark 1: The swamp formed by the formation is not an ordinary swamp.]

[Remark 2: The usage of the array formation is limited. It can be used a total of three times. Please use it sparingly.]

...

It was an array!

Xiao Shi was a little surprised.

Array formations were very rare in the Seven Star Province. The main reason was that there were no array masters proficient in arrays in the Seven Star Province. Although the introduction and notes did not mention the specific function of this array, from the name of the array, one could infer that it should be a kind of imprisonment array.

However, this array formation could only be used three times in total. If he tried to use it now, he would waste one time.

Naturally, he could not use it like this.

"The items dropped after a Martial Entry-Level Eight martial artist dies are all high-quality Martial Entry-Level items. I believe the power of this array will not be bad."

Xiao Shi was very confident in this array formation and happily put the array flags into his storage bag.

The gains this time were quite good. He wondered if any more fish would dare to come to Golden Cloud City after this.

...

In the study, after the squinty-eyed man finished reporting, the director of the Night Patrol Division was also a little moved. He did not expect that another bounty hunter had died so quickly!

"Although the way this bounty hunter died this time is different from the last one, it should have been done by the same person.

"This person is so powerful that he killed a Martial Entry-Level Eight bounty hunter as easily as crushing an ant. I didn't expect such a mysterious powerhouse to be hidden in our Golden Cloud City!" The captain of Team D sighed.

With his strength, he could instantly kill a Martial Entry-Level Eight martial artist. However, if the other party was a bounty hunter, it would be very difficult for him to do so.

After all, when ordinary people faced bounty hunters, they would always be in a passive position. Before the bounty hunters acted, there was no way to know where they were or when they would attack. He could not grasp the initiative.

However, this mysterious expert could always suddenly attack when the bounty hunters did not expect it. It seemed that in front of him, no matter how deep these bounty hunters hid, they would not be able to hide.

This made the bounty hunter no longer a hunter, but his prey.

The bounty hunters who were originally hunting in secret were now being hunted in secret.

"Director, do you think this mysterious expert… really has the ability to see through the identity of a bounty hunter?" The captain asked. 𝙛𝓻𝙚𝙚𝔀𝙚𝓫𝓷𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

The director nodded. "That's a possibility."

Originally, he had the same thoughts as the members of the Senluo Organization. They all felt that it was most likely a coincidence that this mysterious expert discovered the bounty hunter for the first time.

But this time, the director was suspicious.

Once could be said to be a coincidence. But the second time was a little unreasonable.

In particular, the other party was ruthless and decisive. After killing them, he quickly retreated. The entire process was smooth. It was obvious that he had planned it before the operation.

If he had only discovered the bounty hunter by coincidence, he wouldn't have been able to do it so smoothly.

This made the night patrol director's heart tremble.

The disguise of a bounty hunter had always been difficult to see through. This was also what they relied on to carry out assassinations all over the Seven Stars Province. If this mysterious expert could really see through the bounty hunter's disguise, all the more reason not to offend him.

"Remember, you must not investigate! Unless this expert is willing to take the initiative to appear, you must not offend him because of your curiosity!" The night patrol director reminded him solemnly.

Although he also wanted to know who this mysterious expert was, he knew that if he forcefully investigated, he would definitely arouse the other party's displeasure and it would only backfire.

Judging from the other party's actions this time, he should not be against their previous actions of helping him disrupt their vision.

This also made the night patrol director heave a sigh of relief. He did not dare to hope that he could rope him in. The other party's unwillingness to appear had already explained his attitude to a certain extent.

As long as he kept expressing goodwill to him and did not provoke him or offend him, that was enough.
