Chapter 69: The Fierce Beast
Requirement: Notify within six hours.
Reminder: Current countdown: 1 hour, 43 minutes.
Naturally, Small Knife submitted the task without hesitation.
Beep: Congratulations, you have gained 10 favor points with the Wolf Fang Pass defense witches, while having 30 favor points for severe injuries and 20 for minor injuries.
Beep: Congratulations, your favor and level have met the standards; you’ve received a mandatory task, Hold the Line.
Hold the Line: Defend Wolf Fang Pass until reinforcements arrive.
Success: The right to publish tasks in the Wugubu Tribe as a reward.
Failure: All favor points at Wolf Fang Pass will be reset to zero.
"Thankfully, they’re coming soon, I can hold on for a little longer." The witch breathed a sigh of relief.
He reached into his robe with some effort, producing three black, intricately patterned bones.
"The tribal battle news you brought is very timely, choose one! Consider it your reward." The witch spoke slowly.
With favor points gained, Small Knife quickly looked over the tasks.
Black Bone Skills: Blood Qi Slash, Skeleton Revival Skill, Slave Seal.
Small Knife scanned over them; all seemed good, but Blood Qi Slash was a melee skill, seemingly the same kind of attack used against the Mouse King before, with the advantage of being able to coordinate attacks with multiple people.
His focus was on ranged attacks and defense, so he eliminated that option first.
Though he knew the Skeleton Revival Skill, using it would significantly increase his proficiency, and it was a top-grade skill that players were willing to pay a high price for.
Of course, he wouldn’t sell it.
Ultimately, Small Knife chose the Slave Seal.
Black Bone Skill: Slave Seal, used on a target to greatly increase favor, automatically making them your slave.
Note 1: Can only be used on targets below Blood Qi Power comprehension; the higher the target’s favor, the higher the success rate.
Note 2: Under special simplified witch language effects, even if use fails, favor will still increase.
"Interesting!"
Small Knife chose this not for additional slaves in the game but planned to take it into the real world.
He stowed away the skill bones and immediately pulled out Blood Spirit Potion, Blood Crystal Powder, Bone Knife, and other items.
These items, essential for mission completion and difficult for other players to acquire, were naturally nothing to Small Knife.
He then stepped forward to submit the task, gaining favor points with those warriors and disregarding the rewards of experience and Bone Coins, opting instead to increase more favor or receive guidance with a potential to learn skills.
This directly boosted the favor points of the severely injured one-armed warrior to 60.
Thus, Small Knife seized the opportunity to ask and learned much intelligence, including the culprit causing such damage at Wolf Fang Pass.
A fierce beast, Mad Armor Exploding Wolf, with extremely strong defense and incredibly difficult to kill.
By now, the sky here had already started to darken, but with a task in hand, Small Knife naturally wouldn’t log out.
"Awoo!"
Distant howling rose, followed by a series of continuous sounds.
"Of course they’re coming, the Hold the Line task won’t let itself be easily completed."
The three warriors silently gripped their Bone Knives, standing in front of the witch, gazing intensely ahead.
Soon, countless little emerald green lights appeared, and before he knew it, the sky had turned black.
Closer, even closer, who knows how many Wilderness Wolves there were, swarming forward.
Seeing the leading wolf, Small Knife gasped in shock.
It was even smaller than the mid-level fierce beast he had slain before, yet it bore numerous unhealed wounds—over a dozen—one eye still blind.
However, this wolf’s entire body was covered in scales the size of infant palms, completely unlike any fierce beast Small Knife had seen, more akin to a monster.
On closer inspection.
Fierce Beast: ???
Currently at Level 30, Small Knife couldn’t even see its exact name or level, highlighting a huge gap.
Small Knife had seen many wild beasts, infused with Heaven and Earth Primal Qi, far fiercer than those fierce animals at a zoo.
When a wild beast reached Level 30, a large amount of Primal Qi condensed in its body into crystals, starting to replenish and nourish its body—then it’s a fierce beast.
And when fierce beasts reached their limit, Level 80, with crystals of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi fully formed into patterns, resembling witch patterns or similar innate patterns, they gained extraordinary power, called fierce beasts.
At this point, they began transcending the ordinary.
One beast could destroy a village, referring to such fierce beasts, as they no longer relied solely on physical strength, greatly increasing destruction power.
And fierce beasts, due to the incomplete natural patterns of their crystal core, often became frenzied easily, fighting to death—another origin of their name.
The crisis at Wolf Fang Pass was due to the emergence of an outside fierce beast.
And evidently, this was the very one, undoubtedly at least a Level 80 behemoth.
This was fundamentally beyond Small Knife’s current capability, making it clear that the witch was the largest reliance for such a task.
At this time, the witch too was looking at the fierce beast.
Seemingly sensing something, the fierce beast lifted its head, its lone eye glaring ferociously at the witch, as if eager to rush in and tear him apart.
However, the fierce beast only let out a roar, prompting several massive figures to push forward from behind amidst the dense pack of wolves.
"Damn it!" Small Knife felt a strong urge to abandon the task and escape, because all these were fierce beasts, he saw several Level 60 high-level fierce beasts, each as huge as elephants, but far more ferocious.
"How the hell are we supposed to fight this?"
The fierce beast howled once more.
The fierce beasts began to advance eagerly forward.
The fierce beast itself didn’t move.
"You’re courting death!" The witch roared angrily and struck the totem pole beside him.
Instantly, the totem pole shone brightly, revealing numerous intricate patterns.
In this glow, Small Knife immediately noticed several claw marks and quite a few cracks on the totem pole.
As the light shone brighter, the approaching wolf pack halted, seemingly struck with fear.
At this moment, the witch pointed forward.
A flash of light, akin to lightning, detached from the totem pole and shot forth at supersonic speed.
The fierce beast abruptly retreated, but it was too late.
The bolt struck directly on it, causing the sound of crackling to echo around its body; suddenly it let out a wailing cry, its entire body trembling visibly, the health bar showing less than one-third remaining.
From the intelligence gathered from the one-armed warrior, once provoked, this fierce beast would furiously attack in a berserk frenzy.
Provocation drove it to madness.
"Not good, it’s actually backing away. If it doesn’t flee, and the wolf pack attacks fearlessly, we’ll be worn down to death," the witch’s expression changed for the first time.
Only the fierce beasts were a real threat; once driven away, the wolf pack would retreat.
Now, clearly, that severely injured fierce beast had no intention of attacking personally, having seemingly learned to become cunning, not going berserk with rage upon provocation?
"We must drive away that fierce beast, or we will all die." Watching the retreating fierce beast, the witch shouted loudly and slapped the totem pole fiercely, causing a bright light to erupt, a thick beam the size of a bowl mouth to rise.
