Brandon opened Tom’s soul tomb.

A ray of purple light shone into his eyes. He immediately got excited and looked towards the purple light.

Description: A high-quality weapon forged by an unknown species. It seems extra mysterious…

“What the f*ck!” Brandon’s eyelids twitched.

“Ignore armor?!”

“Is a purple-quality bow & arrow so powerful?!”

“Although it’s only 30%, it’s already ridiculously powerful.”

“My physique of 27…no! I just killed another player, so my physique has increased to 32 (7 + 25). In addition to the 42 attack power of the purple bow & arrow, the damage caused is 74. The damage ignores 30% of armor. In other words…”

“The direct damage to the HP is 22 points, and the damage to the armor is 52 points.”

“If it’s to combine a critical hit and a charged attack, multiplied by six times, the damage caused to the HP will be as high as 133 points! Even people with a vitality of over 30 will not be able to withstand a few arrows!”

“In Holy Fire City’s current state, does that allow me to kill wantonly?”

Thinking of this, Brandon felt goosebumps all over his body.

He was bursting with excitement!

The only unfortunate thing was that the durability of bows & arrows was much lower compared to other melee weapons.

From Brandon’s observation, the durability would increase as quality increased. However, the durability of a purple-quality bow & arrow was only 12 points. One could imagine how low the durability of a blue, green, or white-quality bow & arrow was.

The low durability value also meant that he had to be very accurate.

Brandon had never touched a bow & arrow before he transmigrated, much less practiced it. As for after he transmigrated…

He had just arrived at the prison and entered straight into the escape game, so he had even less time to practice with a bow & arrow.

His accuracy with a bow & arrow could be summarized in one word: Terrible!

However…

Since he had unlimited invisibility, he did not need to aim like an ordinary archer. He could take all the time he wanted to aim. He could even walk right up to someone and point the arrow at their forehead. Surely he couldn’t miss at point-blank range?

Brandon took out some consumables from his backpack and replaced them with the purple bow & arrow.

Then, he continued to search Tom’s soul tomb.

[Armor (blue)], [Helmet (blue)], [Shoes (blue)].

Other than the weapons, the equipment was all blue. There was nothing useful for him.

Brandon continued to rummage through. His backpack was full now, and he could not pick up the consumables anymore. He could only hope for a skill book to drop.

He quickly flipped through it!

Suddenly!

Brandon’s movements stopped, and his eyes were fixed.

Skill book!

Check the details of the skill!

[

Skill: Wind listening

Quality: Blue

Effect: When this skill is used, one’s hearing will be increased by three times

(Hint: this effect allows you to hear sounds through obstructions, such as walls)

Cooldown: None

]

“Good stuff!” Brandon was delighted.

Three times hearing!

This kind of skill was the best scouting skill in the city.

There were many houses in the city, so what one could see was limited. At this time, the sense of smell and hearing replaced vision as a better way to find the enemy’s location. Moreover, this skill could be used through obstacles.

In other words…

His range and clarity of hearing in the city were exactly the same as in the wilderness.

“No wonder…as an archer, Tom was not prepared for his back at all. It was because of his ‘wind listening’ that he was confident that he could hear the footsteps of anyone who ambushed him.”

“If it wasn’t for the ‘silence’ skill that countered the ‘wind listening’, I probably wouldn’t have been able to catch him even if I was invisible.”

“From this point of view, he also had the potential to become the final winner.”

“Unfortunately…”

“All of this is mine now.”

After rummaging through the items in the soul tomb, Brandon did not find anything else of value.

Hence, he headed towards the house on the right.

Before arriving at Holy Fire City, Brandon found from his observation of the map that the layout of the houses in Holy Fire City was in a circle, with the Holy Fire Platform at the center.

From the very beginning, his strategy was to hunt down the enemies from the entrance of the city in a clockwise direction.

So in a way, Tom Macray was Brandon’s unlucky first target.

While in stealth mode, Brandon moved clockwise towards the house next door, but he did not discover anything. He had just walked out of that house, and every two steps he took, he heard the sound of panting.

“Someone is there?!”

Following the sound of panting, Brandon passed by a few houses and arrived at a two-story building.

He raised his head and looked at the second floor.

His ‘wind listening’ told him that the source of the panting was on the second floor.

At the same time, the sound was becoming softer and softer.

This place was more than thirty yards away from the place where the sound was heard. It was no longer a distance that someone with a physique of 32 (7 + 25) could hear. If he had not acquired ‘wind listening’, he would not have been able to hear such a light panting sound.

He entered the building and went up to the second floor.

The second floor was a transparent hall. There were windows on all four sides, but they were all tightly shut.

Brandon looked over and saw a fully armed man wearing armor and a helmet. He was half-bent over, his longsword driven into the floor the only thing preventing him from collapsing.

In front of the man, there were two soul tombs.

Two soul tombs?!

Brandon was astonished. This man in front of him had actually killed two people consecutively.

If that was the case, his attributes would probably be higher than mine.

However…

‘With infinite invisibility, I’m invincible!’ Brandon thought to himself.

Slowly reaching behind the man, Brandon took out his purple bow and aimed it at his heart. The distance was so close that the arrowhead of the arrow was almost touching the man’s armor.

At such a close distance, even a blind man could not miss.

Brandon loosened his fingers.

An arrow was shot!

[You have hit the target, causing 22 points HP and 52 points armor damage!]

With one hit, Brandon did not stop at all.

Instant step!

He crashed through the window and instantly disappeared from the second floor.

However, he did not go far. Instead, he reached the first floor and stayed still for 2s, allowing himself to return to invisibility and once again went back to the second floor.

The man on the second floor was suddenly attacked. He turned around abruptly, but other than the broken window, he didn’t see or hear anything.

“?!”

“What’s going on?!”

“I was attacked first, and then the window was broken. In other words, the window was broken from the inside, but I didn’t see anyone!”

The armored man was confused.

Suddenly!

His vision turned red, reminding him that he had received an attack.

Immediately, the armored man’s expression changed. He realized that his HP had decreased by 5 points, and it was still continuing. Every second, his HP decreased by 5 points.

“I’m poisoned! Damn it!”

“What’s wrong with that guy? He used a purple bow & arrow to sneak attack me at such a close distance, and he even poisoned me. Despicable!”

The armored man quickly took out a bandage (green) from his backpack, wanting to recover his HP damage.

However…

At this moment!

His vision turned red once again!
