494: Chapter 541: The capture speed is just too outrageous!

In the Giant Forest, a Savage Player sat beside the carcass of a giant beast-level Boar-Crocodile.

It tore off the flesh of the Boar-Crocodile and swallowed it whole while listening to the voices coming from the communicator.

The voices in the communicator belonged to other Savage Players.

"We've finally surpassed the Thousand Changes Race, having collected thirteen Peregrine Falcons."

"Do you think we can surpass the Fungus Race and take first place before the event ends at midnight tonight?"

"Based on past experience with the [Game], there will definitely be extra rewards for first place."

"It's a bit uncertain; the Peregrine Falcons are just too hard to catch."

"Not to mention the chances of encountering them are slim, and even if you do, the probability of catching them isn't high."

"I really don't know how the players of the Fungus Race catch them."

"It's a pity our civilization has no one left, so we can't get information from the outside world."

"Actually, we don't have to force ourselves to take first place. As long as we hunt a few more Peregrine Falcons before then and get the rewards, it'll be fine."

"Actually, I have a better suggestion."

Since Peregrine Falcons are so hard to capture, why don't we hunt players from other civilizations? I feel like hunting other players is much easier than catching Peregrine Falcons."

The Savage Player sitting by the Boar-Crocodile chuckled. "I second that. I also think hunting other players is simpler than catching Peregrine Falcons."

"I encountered a group of players earlier, but they were likely Human Players. The good things they had on them were pitifully few."

So, I didn't bother making a move."

"Hahaha! If we're really going to hunt players from other civilizations, it should naturally be the Thousand Changes Race."

"The Human Players' comprehensive strength evaluation is only Grade F. Even killing them would just dirty our hands."

"..."

In the communicator, the Savage Players were as disdainful of the Human Players as could be.

After all, their comprehensive strength evaluation was only F.

"Who do you think killed those two players from the Tar Civilization earlier?" someone asked at that moment.

"It's very likely the Fungus Race. The time between their deaths wasn't long."

"Anyone with that kind of strength must be a fungus player with a comprehensive strength evaluation of Grade A."

"Agh! Why didn't we run into the Tar Civilization players? That way, we could have gotten the items on them."

"..."

Just as the Savage Players were chatting...

A [National Fortune Game] announcement rang out, informing all players that the Human Player An Ke had obtained a Peregrine Falcon.

"Oh? A Human Player actually got another Peregrine Falcon. That's quite surprising."

"That's only two in total. It's nothing."

"Probably just good luck."

"..."

But a few minutes later, the [National Fortune Game] announcement rang out again, once more informing all players that An Ke had obtained another Peregrine Falcon.

"Capturing two Peregrine Falcons in a row?" The Savage Player was surprised.

"That's some good luck. Could he have come across two Peregrine Falcons fighting each other and reaped the benefits?"

"Hahaha! It's possible."

Even though two Peregrine Falcons were captured in quick succession, the Savage Players still didn't take it seriously.

After all, so what if he caught two in a row?

The humans only had two in total, and they were both the lowest Iron rank.

If he's so capable, let him catch a few more and surpass the Savage Civilization.

This time, less than three minutes later, the announcement rang out once more:

[Human Player An Ke has captured 2 Copper Peregrine Falcons.]

"Huh???"

Now, the expressions of the Savage Players shifted.

"What's going on?"

"How did he catch so many in a row? And this time, he captured two Peregrine Falcons at once..."

"How did this Human Player named An Ke do it?"

"..."

The Savage Player sitting by the Boar-Crocodile's carcass was curious to the extreme.

If it could, it would want to go to An Ke's side and see for itself.

In all these days, it had only captured two Peregrine Falcons itself, yet An Ke had now captured four in quick succession.

Isn't that a bit ridiculous?

Meanwhile, in other parts of the Giant Forest.

Players from various nations were all extremely astonished to hear the consecutive [Game] announcements.

Is An Ke finally starting to exert himself?

But no matter how hard he tries, how could he find these Peregrine Falcons in such a short time?

You have to understand that Peregrine Falcons are loners; it's very rare for two to be together.

It should be impossible to capture two in such a short period.

Good luck?

Or did he find a Peregrine Falcon nest?

Everyone was curious to the extreme.

However, this was only the beginning.

Over the next half hour, three more [Game] announcements rang out in succession.

An Ke had captured three more Peregrine Falcons.

Although they were all Iron Peregrine Falcons this time—the lowest rank—it still made the various players restless.

"Damn it! In just over an hour, An Ke has captured seven Peregrine Falcons. This is definitely not a matter of luck."

"But if it's not luck, how did that An Ke do it?"

"We all know very well that these Peregrine Falcons are very hard to come across."

"The Giant Forest is so vast, and the locations of the Peregrine Falcons are hard to find... unless he has a way to make them appear on their own."

"..."

The Savage Player by the Boar-Crocodile's carcass was completely unable to comprehend it.

He racked his brains but couldn't figure out how An Ke had captured so many Peregrine Falcons in just over an hour.

There was another point of doubt.

If he had a way, why wait until the very last day to make a move?

If he had acted earlier, wouldn't he have taken first place long ago?

"If An Ke continues to capture seven more in the next hour, we won't be able to hold onto second place."

"There are still eighty Peregrine Falcons out there."

"..."

Just as the Savage Players were discussing this, the [National Fortune Game] announcement rang out once more.

It was An Ke again, and this time it was a Silver Peregrine Falcon!

"This..."

The Savage Players could no longer sit still.

"The human An Ke must have a way to lure the Peregrine Falcons out and a way to successfully capture them."

"Now he has caught eight Peregrine Falcons all by himself."

"Adding the one from before, the Human Civilization now has a total of nine Peregrine Falcons."

"Only five more to go, and they'll surpass our Savage Civilization..."

The [Game] announcement rang out once more.

An Ke had captured another Silver Peregrine Falcon.

"We can't wait any longer!!"

"Quick! We need to find An Ke and see how he's doing it."

"If we can get his method, then we'll have a chance to take first place in this time-limited event!"

"..."

By the Boar-Crocodile's carcass, the Savage Player stood up abruptly and began searching for An Ke in the Giant Forest.

Meanwhile, players from various nations in other places were now dumbfounded.

What on earth?

How did An Ke manage to capture nine Peregrine Falcons in one go?

A little over an hour ago, they were still lamenting that the humans would be at the bottom of this event and complaining about An Ke's lack of effort.

In the blink of an eye, an hour later, the Human Civilization had captured a total of ten Peregrine Falcons?

Only two more Peregrine Falcons and they would surpass the Thousand Changes Race.

Only three more and they would surpass the Savage Civilization.

But at this rate, surpassing the Fungus Race might not even be a problem.

Is this really a case of 'remaining silent only to startle everyone with a single cry'?

The players were all curious—what method was An Ke actually using?

The players inside the [Game] didn't know, but the viewers outside the game could see it clearly...
