Translator: 549690339
Looking at the blue-quality âTusk Fang Stingerâ in Song Jianâs hand, Lin Shengâs eyes were full of little stars;
âIâll take you there!â Lin Sheng said directly: âItâs just ahead, that boss has been injured, lost a leg, and its vitality points are less than half left, looking very desperate.â
Song Jian followed behind Lin Sheng, running and asking: âWhy didnât you finish it off yourself, a level 15 boss will definitely drop good loot!â
âI canât beat it, it can see through my stealth, I canât even get close to itâ¦â Lin Sheng said somewhat helplessly;
Soon, the two of them arrived at a small residential area, in a central pavilion, Song Jian saw the heavily injured boss.
The boss looked like an enormous beastman, with blue skin covered in lumps, two tusks protruding from its lips, and sanguine eyes emitting a bloodthirsty glow, looking very ferocious.
Its massive body was squatting in the pavilion, looking like a meat mountain. Next to it, stood four wooden stakes, half a manâs height, carved with complex magic runes on the surface. Rings of energy condensed into light, slowly rotating around the stakes;
One stake was enveloped in a green glow, one stake was enveloped in a crimson glow, another stake was encompassed in a gray energy glow, the last one flickered with tiny currents;
[LV15 Mutated Shaman Beast â Kuru Tutu] (Elite): Vitality Points 680/2800, Spirit Points: 250/800; Traits: Regeneration, Beastâs Blood Boil; Skills: Summon Totem Pillar, Summon Beast Spirit, Death Ray, Ice Cone.
âThis guy is a beastman, huh?â Song Jian stared at the mountain of flesh in the distance, stroking his chin;
âYes, it looks like a beastman. Do you see those three pillars next to it? Those are totem pillars, they can attack automatically. The damage isnât high, but they are very troublesome.â Lin Sheng pointed at the three wooden stakes next to the Mutated Shaman Beast;
âHey, it seems to be healing its wounds!â Song Jian saw that every few seconds, a â+5â green healing figure would jump above the bossâs head, he couldnât help but say;
âThere is a healing totem pillar!â Song Jian pointed at the wooden stake surrounded by green light: âYou need to be faster, if it drags on, its vitality points will be fully restored.â
âItâs okay, didnât you see that it doesnât have much spirit points left? It looks like it has been through a big fight, youâre really lucky!â Song Jian said;
âHehe, Brother Song is the lucky one, now itâs yours.â Lin Sheng chuckled.
âAlright, give you the dagger, this boss is mine. The test required me to fight solo, so just guard the perimeter for me. Donât participate!â As Song Jian spoke, he handed the âTusk Fang Stingerâ to Lin Sheng.
âDonât worry, Brother Song, 1 know the rules!â Lin Shengâs face broke out into a grin as he took the dagger, swinging it around a few times, looking thrilled.
Song Jian slowly approached the boss with his sword. As soon as he stood around a dozen meters away from the boss, it stood up.
Despite the imposing pressure from the one-legged boss, Song Jian hesitated whether picking this boss was a correct choice.
âHuman, this is Kuru Tutuâs territory. If you donât want your soul to be tormented on my Flame Totem forever, leave now!â
The boss even spoke, surprising Song Jian; a monster capable of speech indicating it has consciousness, and a conscious monster is way tougher than a senseless one.
Perhaps perceiving Song Jianâs hesitation, a hint of a smile appeared on Kulu Tutuâs face. Feeling the immense power within this human, Kulu Tutu himself was at a low ebb with barely over 200 spirit points left, just not enough to sustain a fight. Even if he could win, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. He could end up being taken down by an ordinary monster afterward.
âHuman, if you leave now, youâll gain Kuru Tutuâs friendship. I will also give you a gift!â Kuru Tutu continued;
System: Kuru Tutu is offering you a temporary mission, leave territory; Mission requirement: leave the area within one kilometer radius from Kuru Tutu; Mission reward: obtaining Kuru Tutuâs friendship; exquisite totem imprint; Mission failure: permanent reduction of 2 points in all attributes; Do you accept?
Song Jian carefully read through the mission details word by word, and then chose to accept;
As soon as Song Jian accepted, a smile crossed Kuru Tutuâs face, he threw something towards Song Jian;
Song Jian caught it and checked the attributes;
âExquisite Totem Imprint (Green): Inlay I Accessory, Accessory Attributes: Worn on the body, recovers 1 vitality point per second; can be inlaid on equipment, when inlaid on a helmet, vitality points increase by 100; when inlaid on armor, defense increases by 5 points; when inlaid on leg protectors, spirit points cap increases by 50;â
âNot bad! Donât know if it can be used as a spirit talisman and inlaid on the Hexagram Array Diagram!â Song Jian thought;
Seeing Song Jian pick up the item and stand still, Kulu Tutuâs face darkened, yelled: âHuman, you have already accepted the task 1 assigned. Why havenât you left? Are you willing to bear the punishment of the beast god?â
Song Jian threw the item into his inventory, lifted his head, glanced at Kuru Tutu, then turned around and ran towards the exit of the residential area;
Seeing Song Jian leaving, Kuru Tutu let out a mocking smile as he slowly sat back down with the help of the pavilionâs pillar: âStupid humanâ¦â
Lin Sheng watched as Song Jian rushed past him, completely baffled, only hearing Song Jian say to him: âJust wait for me for a bit, Iâll be right back!â
Soon, Song Jianâs figure disappeared from Lin Shengâs vision;
Song Jian kept running forward until a system prompt appeared in front of him, then he stopped;
System: You completed the temporary mission, leaving the territory;
System: You obtained Kuru Tutuâs friendship, you received the item âExquisite Totem Imprintâ;
Seeing that the mission was completed, Song Jian turned around and ran towards the residential area;
âI need to hurry up, if any later, that bossâs vitality points will be fully restored.â
Lin Sheng was a bit confused, standing in place waiting for a few minutes. Soon, he saw Song Jian hurriedly running back from a distance;
âWhat are you up to?â Lin Sheng asked. His level was too low, Kuru Tutu did not offer him a temporary mission at all. Seeing him, it attacked, scaring him away.
âDoing a mission!â Song Jian said while panting heavily: âStay here and wait for me. Donât help when I take action.â Song Jian seemed a little worried and reminded him again;
Seeing that Song Jian was charging back towards him once more, Kuru Tutuâs anger flared up;
âShameless human!â Kuru Tutu roared in his heart, suddenly standing up;
âHuman, honesty is key!â Kuru Tutu seemingly had fire coming out of his eyes, staring at Song Jian, and growled;
Song Jian was stunned, opened the mission column, pointed at the completed mission, and said: âBut I completed the mission!â
Kuru Tutu:ââ¦, you have a point!â
