Supersonic Hummingbird

The event labyrinth, third floor. A class user with the head of a leopard and the body of a man was moving swiftly through the corridors. Mikhail, of the Flying Leopard race, Level 168. His class: God-Hunting Treasure Seeker. The initial form of the God-Hunting Treasure Seeker class had been Treasure Scout. Its first advancement was Treasure Hunter, and only upon its third advancement did it become God-Hunting Treasure Seeker. This class possessed tremendous treasure-hunting capabilities alongside exceptional reconnaissance, mobility, assassination, and sniping skills. He could launch attacks from hundreds of thousands of meters away, killing targets with a single arrow. At the same time, he possessed the summoning abilities of a summoner, capable of calling forth Treasure-Seeking Rats, Recon Hawks, Assault Wolves, and God-Hunting Tigers. Aside from healing, his skillset was extraordinarily versatile. However, the Zhen Realm's recruitment of class users seemed to have a certain bias. The vast majority of class users were humans, while other humanoid races were few and far between. In the world Mikhail hailed from, humans and beastkin had waged war for thousands of years. The two sides harbored intense hatred for one another, wishing for nothing more than to wipe their rivals entirely off the face of their world. Mikhail naturally hated humans as well. It was just that after arriving in the Zhen Realm, he kept this hatred hidden. Even so, he operated entirely as a lone wolf, never interacting with other class users. After entering the event labyrinth—especially after reaching the second floor—he realized he might actually be able to wipe out every single class user here. If he slaughtered all the class users across the entire Baihe Continent, he would undoubtedly become the continent's strongest, perhaps even dominating it forever. And the method was remarkably simple. All he had to do was periodically snipe newly spawned class users from afar, ensuring that the Baihe Continent permanently remained in a state where he was the sole surviving class user! "Squeak, squeak!" Just then, the tiny mouse perched on Mikhail's shoulder let out a cry, pointing its short paw toward Mikhail's right. Mikhail instantly grew excited. How long had it been since he arrived on the third floor, and he had already found another treasure chest? He was certain that in the entire Baihe Continent, no one knew how to find treasure chests better than he did. *The Baihe Continent will belong to me from now on!* Mikhail thought eagerly to himself, without slowing his pace in the slightest. Instead, he dashed toward the direction indicated by the Treasure-Seeking Rat even faster. The sooner he found three chests and moved to the next floor, the faster the rest of them would die! *** Yu Xian and the others were seated around a square picnic blanket, eating lunch. With summoned beasts handling the task of searching for chests, everyone had plenty of free time. Those who were eating ate, while those who weren't gathered to play cards or handheld games. "Master, reel in the line! You've got a bite, what are you waiting for?" Chi Feihong sat side by side with Yu Xian, shouting excitedly as he watched him. Yu Xian held a handheld console, playing a fishing game. Even though a fish had clearly taken the bait, Yu Xian refused to pull it up, making Chi Feihong beside him anxious to the point of fuming. "Don't rush. Let's see if I can trade a small fish for a bigger one," Yu Xian said calmly. The console belonged to Chi Feihong. Despite being a hulking brute, his primary passion back in his original world had been fishing, and his second was video games. Physical training could barely scrape into third place. It was simply that his natural talent had been absurdly high. With just casual training, he had already become one of the top five strongmen in his world. Thus, instead of becoming a professional angler or a pro gamer, he had effortlessly ended up as a professional strongman. However, when he was teleported to the Zhen Realm, he had actually been taking a shower, meaning he had arrived in this world stark naked. As for this handheld console, it was a prized possession he had purchased from another class user with Fortune Gold Coins. It was at least several centuries more advanced than the consoles from his home world, serving as his greatest amusement between leveling sessions in the Zhen Realm. "Master, it's just a game. How could you trade a small fish for a bi—holy crap, big fish really do eat the little ones!" Chi Feihong had just been about to complain that a game was only a game and that you should pull the rod as soon as you hooked a fish since you wouldn't get a second bite. Yet before he could finish his sentence, a dark silhouette emerged underwater on the screen. The fish Yu Xian had hooked was swallowed whole by that massive shadow. Yu Xian immediately pressed the reel button and began playing the fish. Chi Feihong watched with intense excitement; he had genuinely never known the game had such a mechanic. After working the line for quite a while, a record-breaking monster of a fish was finally hauled ashore. "Master is awesome!" Chi Feihong shouted in excitement as he stared at the colossal fish that had shattered his own record. Yu Xian felt that Chi Feihong's excitement at this moment was probably even greater than when he had become his disciple. True to being a hardcore angler, fishing was undeniably his true love; everything else was just secondary. "You go on playing. I'll go bring back the chests that were found," Yu Xian said, handing the console back to Chi Feihong. The next instant, he vanished into thin air, and a hummingbird appeared in his place. This hummingbird was almost the size of a cat, and its beak was shaped like a drill bit. [Supersonic Hummingbird] [Level: 81] [Skills:] [Supersonic Swift Flight: The Supersonic Hummingbird can fly at 600 times the speed of sound without making any noise.] [Wind Guard: The Supersonic Hummingbird can make harmless abrupt stops while moving at high speeds, or change directions at extreme velocities without being affected by inertia.] [Note: Though it possesses zero combat capability, it serves as the eyes and ears of the King of Birds.] *** In truth, the innate potential of this kind of Supersonic Hummingbird was quite low; an ordinary one was only Level 10. However, because Yu Xian was strong enough, the Supersonic Hummingbirds he created using Primordial Power usually matched his own level, though their skills wouldn't increase out of nowhere. Yet even without additional skills, their explosive boost in attributes meant their speed had long surpassed 600 times the speed of sound. Right now, countless Supersonic Hummingbirds were darting through the event labyrinth at blistering speeds, searching for treasure chests and that first entrant for Yu Xian. The reason Yu Xian had chosen this summoned beast was primarily because of the labyrinth's complex layout. A summon that was simply fast wasn't necessarily agile. Take turning, for example. Some summoned beasts were fast, but only in a straight line; the moment they encountered a corner, they would slam headfirst into a wall and die right in front of you. While some summons could drift around corners, their speed was still nowhere near that of the Supersonic Hummingbird. This creature was immune to inertia when turning, which made it astonishingly nimble within the labyrinth. Even so, the third floor posed a massive trial for the Supersonic Hummingbirds, mainly because mirrors lined this entire floor. If a Supersonic Hummingbird wasn't careful, it could easily crash into a mirror. At its speed, a collision meant certain death. In Yu Xian's perception, at least a dozen of his summoned hummingbirds had already slammed into mirrors and died. Just then, Yu Xian reappeared, holding several treasure chests, and sat back down on the picnic blanket. Before he could even settle in, his brows furrowed slightly.
