Seeing the look of surprise on Seta''s face, Boggy took the initiative to exin.


    "Ma Lu''s psychic power can enhance the abilities of teammates when activated, but he needs to sacrifice prey for the ability to work. Those red-bellied rattlesnakes I bought from the market were used for this purpose."


    "So we inherited the power of those red-bellied rattlesnakes?"


    Seta quickly checked his body and only breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed there were no scales or anything else unusual on him.


    He looked somewhat puzzled, apparently still unable to ept what had happened.


    Ma Lu didn''t exin further, as such things are not easily rified by mere words. It would be better to wait for Seta to experience it firsthand during actualbat.


    After a brief familiarization, the group moved on to the main event, preparing for the hunt.


    With Twin Sunflower Hunting Group expanding its recruitment, the team had grown to five members. It was beginning to look substantial, increasingly resembling a small hunting group.


    But Boggy remained cautious, starting with hunting small prey nearby to allow the team members to harmonize.


    Seta was outspoken and acted rashly, not very likable, but he indeed possessed strength. His psychic power was to create sand soil puppets.


    The sand soil puppets he created were as tall as two men. Although they moved clumsily, they had excellent strength. Most importantly, they couldn''t feel pain and were very enduring, making them ideal for attracting enemy fire at the front lines.


    His sister, Sadie, was the exact opposite. She behaved timidly and always seemed to hide behind her brother as if the slightest disturbance could startle her.


    Yet, once engaged in battle, she was unexpectedly fierce.


    Ma Lu had encountered other Beast-Series Psychic Ability users before, like Baldy, the leader of the Treasure Hunting Group, whose Ape Arm could enhance his own strength when activated.


    As for Sadie, also of the Beast Series, her psychic power did not follow the route of attribute enhancement.


    Facing a group of Two-Headed Hyenas, Sadie rolled up her sleeves, revealing her right arm covered in a thickyer of soft armor.


    As Sadie recited, the soft armor on her arm seemed toe alive, quickly expanding into numerous thorns.


    She shot out dozens of thorns in a single breath, and in an instant, the four Two-Headed Hyenasy in pools of blood.


    Ma Lu let out a soft exmation, not only because he noticed how well Sadie''s ability synergized with [Headshot] but also because it seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.


    "Does it remind you of a Short-Eared Lync Hedgehog?"


    Teacher Mai Mai, who was watching the battle, offered timely enlightenment, "Sadie''s Beast-Series Psychokinesis originates from the Short-Eared Lync Hedgehog. However, her thorns aren''t as powerful as those of the Lync Hedgehog, capable of piercing through at most 1mm-thick steel te.


    "But the advantage is they grow very quickly, about a hundred in roughly three days. The current limit is three hundred thorns, and with the increase in psychic power, both the limit of thorns and the growth rate have room for improvement. It''s a very decent psychic ability."


    In addition to the formidable assistance of Seta and Sadie, the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group had weed another new member. This time, Boggy brought along the coyote pup of the Wind-walking Prairie Wolf for the hunt.


    It was growing quickly; its size had increased substantially in the two weeks since theyst met.


    Before leaving home, Boggy ced it in a canvas bag tied to the back of the motorcycle, and during the hunt, he would release it to help.


    The Wind-walking Prairie Wolf cub that Boggy was training was very smart. With just over ten days of training, she had already taught it to perform simplemands such as striking, sitting down, and retreating.


    However, since it was still in its juvenile period and had not yet fully grown, its strength was limited.


    It was at an awkward stage in its wolf life, where it could bark fiercer than anyone else but was unable to defeat anyone.


    But Boggy had never expected it to be immediately useful. She was more focused on umting hunting experience for it, allowing it to continue growing.


    On the other hand, Ma Lu, who was idle at that time, also shook hands with the little wolf named Little Grey. As expected, thetter''s name did not appear in the character column, nor could it receive any bonuses.


    Three hourster, Boggy felt that the team members were sufficiently familiar with each other, so she decided to set out again and continue deeper into the desert.


    This time she nned to use baiting as her hunting method again, but she needed to be farther from the area where they baitedst week since the prey around that region had been hunted once.


    Although new wild beasts would upy that territoryter, it would probably be quite difficult to encounter any valuable prey in the short term.


    Now that the Hunting Group was basically formed, Boggy was more daring and nned to try her luck at the border of the Level 2 Hunting Area and Level 3 Hunting Area.


    Through the tireless efforts of her teammates, Ma Lu had acquired another Purple Blessing, eight Blue Blessings, and neen White Blessings over time.


    He could feel that ever since he started using the work n book and selected [Poisoned Waters], the blessings rted to poison had noticeably increased.


    One of the Purple Blessings he acquired this time was also in this category.


    [Toxin Stacking: The poisoning effects attached to each attack by team members can stack up to 99yers. Upon reaching the limit, it will deal a massive one-time damage to the target.]


    Ma Lu had seen the term "massive one-time damage" before, in [Corpse Bomb], which was a Golden Blessing.


    Byparison, [Toxin Stacking] was only a Purple Blessing, so the conditions for triggering it were much more stringent.


    umting 99 poisonous attacks was quite a challenge. However, within the Meat Pigeon system, the usefulness of a blessing depended on how well it worked with other blessings.


    For instance, the two Blue Blessings that Ma Lu had previously acquired seemed insignificant at first, but they became much more valuable once [Toxin Stacking] came into y.


    [Add Poison: There is a 15% chance that the poison effect attached to attacks by team members will count as an additionalyer upon hitting the target.]


    [Slow Onset: There is a 15% chance that the duration of the continuous damage caused by the poison effect attached to team members'' attacks will be doubled and the damage halved when hitting the target.]


    Both of these blessings could undoubtedly increase the activation efficiency of [Toxin Stacking].


    However, what truly exhrated him was another Purple Blessing he got at minute 37 after baiting had begun.


    [Quenching Poison: When team members attack a target that is in a poisoned state, there is a 33% chance that the following attacks will also carry a poisoning effect, whichsts 15 seconds.]


    The advent of this blessing meant that other team members, including Ma Lu, could join the stacking poison ranks, greatly enhancing the efficiency of stacking poison.


    And at minute 128, Ma Lu''s luck exploded as he obtained another key blessing by triggering the Heartbeat Jackpot upgrade.


    [Harmless Treatment: The continuous damage from poison effects attached to team members'' attacks no longer causes continuous damage to the target, instead adding an extra 3yers of poison effects.]
