Duke didn’t know which shot he fired before the Running Thunder Beast died, but he fired three full magazines of armor-piercing bullets.

There are twelve armor-piercing bullets in a magazine.

In other words, it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least thirty rounds of armor-piercing bullets to kill a 4-ring spirit beast. Of course, this must ensure that the spirit beast does not have defensive arcana or is not wearing armor to ensure that every round of armor-piercing bullets can enter the soul.

.

Duke, who has the ability to snipe at super long distances, is least afraid of spiritual beasts like the Thunder Beast, which have sparks and lightning along the way.

You can completely snipe it with armor-piercing bullets outside the attack range of the Running Thunder Beast.

But if you switch to a level 3 or above spiritual beast that wears armor and even has solid defense arcana, armor-piercing bullets will not work.

In other words, no bullets work well.

After all, the level of the Sand Eagle Pistol itself is only level 1. The power concentrated on one point is indeed overbearing, but no matter how overbearing it is, there is a limit. Defenses below level 3 can basically break through the face, while defenses above level 3 are powerless.

"The Rampant Thunder Beast attacks the strong and defends the weak. I also attack the strong and defend the weak, but my attack range is farther!" Standing in front of the body of the Rampant Thunder Beast, Duke felt filled with pride.

The evolution from 3 rings to 4 rings is a qualitative change.

But Duke still took advantage of the enemy and completed a magnificent hunting operation.

The mercenaries have already started busy processing the corpse of the violent thunder beast. No matter who they are, when they come to Duke, they will bend down and respectfully express their humility to Duke. They have been completely impressed by Duke.<

/p>

Being able to hunt down 4-ring spirit beasts is enough to explain everything.

"The Arcane Mage is omnipotent, and Lord Duke will definitely become a great Arcane Mage!" Captain Zina commanded the team while secretly watching Duke's back.

At this moment.

She only felt that finding and cooperating with Duke was definitely the most important decision in her life.

A decision that can change your destiny.

"I made the right choice, but it's not enough. If I want to get more, I have to perform better in front of Lord Duke!"

"I don't have much to express, there is only one broken sword!"

"So, I must use Lord Duke's power to quickly strengthen Broken Sword and make Broken Sword the sharpest sword in your hands!"

Putting away her distracting thoughts, Zina shouted loudly and directed the team to do things.

The mercenaries disposed of the body of the Running Thunder Beast and scraped away the blood on the ground along with the land. Zina arranged for a team of people to transport the Running Thunder Beast back and sent it to Snakehead Town for processing, while the rest continued

Carry out the task of clearing away evil spirits.

"I will take half of the proceeds from this spiritual beast, and the remaining half will be shared with everyone." Duke replied when Zina asked how to deal with the spiritual beast.

So Zina went to the leaders of each mercenary group one by one and loudly informed Duke of Duke's arrangements: "Master Duke is generous and is willing to take half of the proceeds from Running Thunder Beast and share it with everyone! All we need is everyone to work hard!"

"Thank you for your generosity, how dare we not do things carefully!"

"This is your good luck. You can get half of the profits of a fourth-ring spirit beast without using a single blow or a sword... In short, serving the Lord is indispensable for your benefit!"

Thanks to Duke's feat of quickly killing the running thunder beast alone, and his generous shot of sharing half of the profit.

The morale of the entire team was high, and they neither complained nor complained. The progress of the task increased rapidly, and the task was completed three days earlier than the agreed time.

So with three days left, Duke dismissed the mercenary group.

I just took the broken sword and wandered around in the forest, looking for spiritual beasts to hunt and make some extra money to make my pocket bigger.

"Jiji!"

Xiao Kabuto has been obsessed with it these days.

In order to train Kabuto, Duke often let Kabuto participate in the fights. Especially when encountering 0-ring spirit beasts, Kabuto was basically the one who went up to hunt them.

Sometimes when I encounter a 1-ring spirit beast, I let Xiao Dou go up and confront them head-on.

In this high-pressure state, the red knight's contract mark on Xiao Kabuto's forehead has gradually condensed into a complete outline.

"Sir, Xiao Kabuto has reached the critical line of advancement." Vivian said.

"So the forest is the best training ground for spiritual beasts. Spiritual beasts raised in the city cannot grow without experiencing bloody battles." Duke's eyes flashed, "Vivian, I think I have already

I’ve gained some experience in cultivating myself.”

"Sir, what do you mean?" Vivian was puzzled.

"Fighting in the forest is the best way for contracted spirit beasts to digest nutrients. If you and my little Kabuto want them to evolve into phantom beasts, I'm afraid it's not enough to just sweat and train every day. You have to carry them with you."

They've seen blood."

Duke thought about what Muhans Black Snake had said before. The reason why his snake could evolve into a phantom beast was that it mutated and evolved into a phantom beast after experiencing a life and death disaster.

So he continued: "Letting contracted spirit beasts wander on the edge of life and death is probably the best way to stimulate evolution."

Vivian frowned: "Would the mortality rate be too high?"

"So this is a paradox. If you want your contract partner to evolve, you have to push to death, but pushing to death will often drive your partner to death..."

Duke felt like he had talked nonsense.

Vivian felt the same way: "The reason why there are so few fantasy beast knights is that we don't have a good grasp of these two tendencies. I don't want to put Mimi in a dangerous situation, so I can only choose to sweat more."

”

"This is the stupidest method, and it is also the most effective... Vivian, bring the little pocket with you during training in the future."

"Yes, sir."

Duke himself didn't have time to train, so he had to let Kabuto train with others.

This made him think with some regret: "It's a pity that there are no natural treasures in this world. Taking one bite can increase your cultivation level, or directly evolve into a fantasy beast or a dragon... If there is one, I will definitely get one for little Kabuto."

Eat."

Spirituality benefits all living things and is the source of all natural treasures.

When a plant is favored by spirituality, it will be promoted to a spiritual plant instead of growing into a natural treasure. Of course, spiritual plants are also natural treasures.

Three days flew by in a snap.

After handing over the cleanup task in Area 354, Duke took the Loop airship, left Cuihai Valley, and returned to Shenjiao City.

"I heard that you hunted a 4-ring spirit beast alone?" Assistant Vikas came over and asked, holding a red wine glass.

Vikas has given up on academic research and personal practice, and can just hang around. Now he is keen on inquiring about news and communicating with people.

"It's just because of the legacy of my predecessors that I was left with a good arcane weapon," Duke replied.

He can now use the one-ring sand eagle openly. Most arcane mages have their own arcane weapons. The arcane weapons are all kinds of strange, and the effects they produce are not surprising. After all, there are thousands of ways to spiritual arcana.

Wan Tiao.

Vikas smiled: "It seems that the senior left you a powerful arcane weapon, but you have to think carefully about the meaning of the arcane weapon to you... Normally, the arcane weapon is used as

A weapon is not the best choice."

"I understand, I will handle this arcane weapon properly." Duke smiled and said perfunctorily.

Arcane mages can rely on spellcasting to master powerful arcane spells, so it would be a waste to use arcane weapons as weapons.

Unless this kind of arcane weapon has the power to destroy the world, such as the arcane weapon of Christian Raging Waves, which is a red sun-shaped ball that can release an attack comparable to a nuclear bomb.

As the most powerful arcane mage in Shenjiao City, Keithon really needs a powerful arcane weapon to establish his unbreakable dominance.

And most arcane mages can rely on arcane magic alone to survive.

Therefore, when it comes to the choice of arcane weapons, they tend to be auxiliary, which can help arcanists better study spiritual arcana or better improve their skills.

Duke had heard from Vikas before that the United Card Shop had trained some first-level arcane mages. In order to focus on card-making skills, each of them forged an arcane weapon called the "Spirit of Cards".

On the spirit card, the spell model is drawn and carved instantly.

The principle of Card Spirit is unknown, but large-scale card production is absolutely inseparable from Card Spirit.

Possessing the card spirit arcane weapon and being proficient in psychic resonance memory technology, such an arcane mage is basically equivalent to a spirit card printer.

Countless low-level spirit cards can be printed every day to supply the needs of the entire Seven Towers Federation.

Perhaps the life of such an arcane mage is like a machine, but the accumulation of massive wealth can benefit the entire family.

Vikas thought that Duke understood his good intentions, and said happily: "We arcane mages are destined to rule this world, not only by our combat power, but also by our exploration of spiritual arcana. We are better than anyone else."

are closer to the truth."

After a twist and a pause for a few seconds, Vikas continued: "The arcane weapon is a prop that helps us witness the truth. If you make good use of it, you will go further in the field of spiritual arcana."

"I understand."

"You are the most mature and smartest of all the young arcane mages I have ever met. I am very optimistic about you, really."

"In fact, I am very optimistic about myself."

"Haha, your confidence finally made me feel that I was chatting with a seventeen-year-old young man." Vikas sighed with emotion and fell into nostalgia, "When I was young, I was like you.

So high-spirited..."
