Chapter 64: Ancient Weapon: Fragment of the Molten Gold Cannon!
Han Xing was assessing whether this woman was worth saving.
However, the female mage opposite him was not surprised; instead, she wept with joy.
She hurriedly reached into her waist pouch and pulled out a metal piece. It had a golden luster on the surface and looked to be of extraordinary quality.
"It's this item!"
"What is this?" Han Xing continued to ask.
While casting a burst-air spell, the female mage replied intermittently, "I... I don't know... The system says it's a fragment of some ancient weapon, and it has a set of coordinates engraved on it. It can be used to open a certain door!"
Hearing her reply, Han Xing believed her story by about eighty percent.
After all, judging by this woman's performance, it was impossible for her to have fabricated a relatively coherent lie in such a short amount of time.
Therefore, he nodded and said, "I can save you, but on the condition that this quest item belongs to me. Deal?"
He wanted to make things clear beforehand, just in case he saved someone only for them to turn around and deny the agreement, which would lead to a pile of troublesome issues.
The female mage nodded repeatedly, but due to the amplitude of her movements, that pair of frighteningly massive breasts jiggled up and down.
Because he had been far away earlier, Han Xing hadn't seen them clearly.
Only now did he notice that this woman's figure was truly somewhat exaggerated.
Previously, he had merely thought her figure was quite nice, with curves in all the right places.
But looking at her now, it was far beyond mere curves; it was practically explosive. She had meat where there should be meat, and slimness where there should be slimness.
Even more exaggerated was that beneath her voluptuous posture, she actually possessed a slender, willow-like waist that could be spanned by a single grasp.
Below her waistline was a plump, millstone-shaped round bottom, and her two fleshy long legs were currently tensed with muscle, making them look even firmer.
Han Xing thought with a strange feeling in his heart: So, such comic-like figures really do exist in this world...
At this moment, the beautiful female mage seemed barely able to hold on and urged him in a low voice, "Um, young brother... can you hurry up?"
"I... I'm not going to last much longer..."
She was struggling mightily against the siege of the kobolds.
"Don't rush."
Unflustered, Han Xing drew an arrow and nocked it onto the bowstring.
The next instant, an arrow imbued with the breath of the wind shot out at extreme speed.
"Whoosh!"
Under the astonished gaze of the female mage, the Wind-Chasing Arrow accurately struck the head of a kobold, piercing straight through the brain.
Not only that, but after taking down that kobold, the arrow retained its momentum and continued flying toward the next target.
Thud! Thud!
Two more kobolds were pierced straight through by this single arrow.
With one arrow, three Level 6 monsters were taken down.
This terrifying attack power practically refreshed the female mage's worldview.
However, before she could recover from her shock, Han Xing had already unleashed a burst skill.
Multiple Rapid Shot.
Thwip! Thwip-thwip!
The fine iron arrows accurately struck the kobolds one by one, practically killing one with every arrow.
With two skills, he directly wiped out six formidable monsters. Not only was the female mage dumbfounded, but even the remaining few kobolds were completely bewildered.
Seeing their companions die, these kobolds let out wild, howling cries and charged toward Han Xing, their aggro having shifted entirely.
However, against just a few monsters whose levels were even lower than his own, Han Xing did not consider them a threat at all, regardless of their numbers.
A few more arrows later, the entire kobold tribe was annihilated.
At this moment, the female mage stood frozen in place, feeling a sense of unreality wash over her.
She remembered her fiancé once saying that Level 6 monster attributes are all extremely powerful and can easily kill ordinary survivors.
Yet under this young man's arrows, why did these monsters feel as fragile as children?
What she did not know was that in order to conceal the legendary special effect of the Moon-Crown Longbow, Han Xing had deliberately switched to a rare-quality longbow. Otherwise, the battle would have ended even faster.
After the battle concluded.
Han Xing commanded his territory to connect with the female mage's territory.
Then, he walked slowly to her side.
At this moment, the female mage was still caught in the lingering fear of having barely escaped death, her chest heaving continuously.
Seeing Han Xing approach, she seemed to snap back to reality and hurriedly expressed her gratitude, "Th... thank you, young brother, for saving me. This humble maiden is called Zhang Lianmeng; you can call me Lian'er or Sister Lian..."
With that, she cautiously raised her head and cast a stealthy glance at Han Xing with her watery eyes.
However, Han Xing didn't care what her name was; he only cared about whether he could get his hands on the hidden quest item as soon as possible.
Extending his hand, Han Xing said in a flat tone, "Hand it over."
Hearing this, the female mage named Zhang Lianmeng bit her lower lip, seeming somewhat hesitant. After all, she had managed to obtain this quest item only with great difficulty.
She also knew the importance of hidden quests at the current stage.
Yet, thinking of the agreement she had just made and Han Xing's formidable combat prowess, she had no choice but to compromise.
Biting her pearly white teeth, Zhang Lianmeng pulled the metal fragment from her waist pouch once more and walked slowly toward Han Xing.
However, what she failed to notice was that during the fierce battle earlier, the abdomen area of her magic robe had been torn open, leaving a gaping hole.
Right now, a large expanse of snow-white scenery above her abdomen was completely exposed.
Han Xing seemed to see two snowy spheres swaying and trembling as they approached him.
It wasn't until Zhang Lianmeng handed the metal fragment into his hand and the chilling tactile sensation registered that Han Xing snapped back to his senses.
At that moment, a system prompt appeared.
[You have obtained an ancient weapon, Molten Gold Cannon Fragment.]
Han Xing also saw a string of numbers on the fragment: 66487, 69876, 21346. These should be the coordinate locations.
Zhang Lianmeng asked in a low voice, "Is this okay?"
Only then did Han Xing react and say, "Uh... they're really big."
"What?" Zhang Lianmeng seemed somewhat puzzled.
Han Xing shook his head and said, "Nothing. Pleasant cooperation."
Zhang Lianmeng seemed to realize something. Looking down at her damaged magic robe, the next moment, the expression on her snow-white, pretty face changed drastically.
Subconsciously, she crossed her arms over her chest, her face turning incomparably red with embarrassment.
Han Xing coughed lightly and said, "You're fine now. So, goodbye."
With that, Han Xing turned around and walked away directly.
Zhang Lianmeng reached out a hand, her lips parting as if she wanted to say something.
Seeing Han Xing's retreating figure without a single glance back, she seemed to muster her courage and called out, "U-Um... can you help me again and take me to find my fiancé?"
"My fiancé is Liu Zekai. He used to be the boss of Hengyu Company in Xinyang City, and now he's part of the management of the Whisper of Gods team."
"He has a lot of people under him. If you can take me to him, he will definitely give you plenty of benefits!"
Zhang Lianmeng said excitedly, seemingly harboring a sense of worship toward the Liu Zekai she spoke of.
However, Han Xing waved his hand and replied, "Not interested, and no time. If you want to find your man, go find him yourself."
Zhang Lianmeng lowered her head in disappointment, but reflecting on this mysterious young man's agile skills and exaggerated attack power, she couldn't help but feel a lingering curiosity about him.
