115: Preparation

Xu Shian did not accept all three quests at once; there was no need... He only accepted the Black Iron Trial and the Bronze Trial.

Seeing how mysterious the village chief made it sound, Xu Shian wasn't sure if he could actually complete the Bronze Trial.

Take it one step at a time. However, for now, he still needed to improve his strength!

Walking out of the village, he mounted his Dragon Scale Horse and galloped like the wind towards the distant location of the Silver Wolf King!

The three-day deadline has passed, and I have come to take your dog life again...

No, that's not right. I have come to catch you to be my lackey!

The skill book for Summon Grizzly Bear is clearly a professional MT skill for a Summoner!

Then he needed to equip a few more damage-dealing lackeys...

It was perfect to catch the Silver Wolf King, and then he could form a dual physical damage output combo.

And then catch that Grog...

Among his two trump card lackeys, he would have both physical and magical damage output!

Riding his horse all the way from the Novice Village toward the Silver Wolf Plains...

A few days ago, people in other Novice Villages were still organizing to kill the level 5 field BOSS, the Wild Boar King.

The teams were growing larger and their coordination was getting better and better.

Unexpectedly, that whole version update thing happened...

Leading to almost no one bothering with these BOSSes for the past few days!

It was a waste of time, and it wasn't worth delaying his leveling!

After all, there's a time and place for everything!

However, today everything had settled down...

Passing by the Wild Boar King, he saw that many people from Novice Village No. 12315 had gathered in the Wild Boar Forest.

It looked like the Wild Boar King's days were numbered!

The horse was galloping fast, and the commotion was quite significant.

Xu Shian saw them, and they also saw Xu Shian.

"No way... Is Shi Chuan here to fight the Wild Boar King?"

"If he makes a move, will there be anything left for us?"

"We'll just fight our own battles. It's a field BOSS, after all. As long as we land a few hits, we'll get something, even if it's just a sip of broth."

"How do you know?"

"Do you not read the forums? Novice Village No. 1987 has already defeated the Wild Boar King..."

"Sigh, so we're just going to give up like this?"

"Can you even refuse? Do you dare to refuse? If you dare, then I suggest you take a larger share of the loot when the time comes..."

"Hey, stop chatting, he's already left... He's probably off to catch the Silver Wolf King!"

"Little Jianjian, you're a hunter too, aren't you going to try catching the Wild Boar King?"

The player with the ID [Little Jianjian] had a bitter expression.

"I tried... I think I can try catching it when I'm level 100... Of course, that's assuming I can make it back alive..."

Everyone fell silent!

...

Xu Shian rode past under the gaze of dozens of people; those burning stares made him feel a bit embarrassed.

He whipped his horse and sped past the Wild Boar Forest...

Seeing the Silver Wolf King again, there was no one here for the time being.

With a wave of his right hand, Ink Shadow appeared on Xu Shian's hand, flapping its wings as it took to the sky.

After looking around, other than a few level 7 powerhouses beating up level 8 Silver Wolves nearby, he didn't see anyone lying in ambush.

He summoned Pigsy.

He didn't even need any more lackeys.

If they really fought, the current Silver Wolf King might not necessarily be able to beat Pigsy...

The reason he said "might not necessarily" was mainly because the Silver Wolf King had the field BOSS trait of recovering 1% of its HP per second.

Otherwise, Pigsy wouldn't have any trouble fighting it one-on-one; its stats were just too overwhelming!

Savage Charge

-4200, Stunned for 0.1 seconds.

The Silver Wolf King was not to be outdone; it used Shadow Strike to flash behind Pigsy and started clawing at it with Giant Claw Swipe.

Xu Shian was waiting for it to use its displacement skill, Shadow Strike.

Otherwise, Tame Beast would lose its target, and the taming would fail.

The moment the Tame Beast skill was cast.

The Silver Wolf King immediately abandoned Pigsy, with whom it had been fighting fiercely.

It turned around and charged straight at Xu Shian!

The Silver Wolf King's skills were all on cooldown, so now it could only use basic attacks against him!

Don't look at this thing acting like a punching bag here with Xu Shian; when facing ordinary players, it really takes them out in one swipe!

A flash of golden light passed, and another giant Samoyed made a brilliant appearance in front of Xu Shian.

Xu Shian slapped its big head hard...

"So you were the one clawing at me just now, huh?"

"So you were the one who came up and started tearing and biting, huh?"

He slapped the big dog until it backed away repeatedly, whimpering non-stop!

After venting for a while, he named it Frost Blade, and then sent the thing into the Emerald Dream.

After putting away his other lackeys one by one, Xu Shian turned his horse around and rode toward the Corrupt Swamp.

Xu Shian had been to the south of the Novice Village a few times...

But this was his first time coming to the Corrupt Swamp.

It wasn't just because of the heavy humidity and poor environment here.

More importantly, this place was infested with all kinds of poisonous creatures...

Level 5 Poison Scorpions, level 6 Little Green Snakes, and level 7 Cobra Kings.

The environment here was the kind that would make your scalp tingle and give you goosebumps all over.

Xu Shian estimated that there probably weren't many people in the entire game who liked coming here to level up...

But now, he had no choice but to come...

After all, Xu Shian didn't just want to catch the frog BOSS, Grog; he also wanted to catch a batch of these poisonous creatures to take with him!

Magic Defense: 10

Skills

Neurotoxin: Shoots a tiny poisonous barb from the poison gland on its back, dealing 150% poison damage to a single target and applying the "Nerve Paralysis" effect: reduces casting speed by 15% and movement speed by 10% for 8 seconds, stacks up to 5 times. Cooldown: 20 seconds.

Poison Dart Shot: The Miasma Poison Dart Frog shoots a poison dart, dealing 250% poison damage and applying the 'Poisoned' effect: reduces target's HP by 50 every three seconds for 15 seconds; stacks up to 10 times. Cooldown: 20 seconds.

Toxic Skin (Passive): The Miasma Poison Dart Frog's skin is covered in deadly poison, causing units that attack it to have their attack speed reduced by 30% and movement speed by 20%!

...

This Miasma Poison Dart Frog... individually, it really doesn't amount to much...

But with the enhancement of Xu Shian's strength, if they were in a swarm, it would be a different story!

Thinking is doing!

Xu Shian immediately braved the various poisons here and caught ten Miasma Poison Dart Frogs...

By the time he caught ten, the wild boar Xu Shian had brought out to tank the damage had already been poisoned to death!

Let's take a look.

Rot-Bone Snake (Level 10)

Rot-Bone Poison: Bites the target, dealing damage while applying a powerful damage-over-time effect. This effect lasts 12 seconds, and each time it deals 90 points of poison damage, it reduces the target's armor and magic resistance by 1%, stacking up to 10 times.

Poison Mist Spit: Raises its head to spit a cloud of green poison mist in a cone-shaped area in front, dealing damage to all enemies in the range and having a 50% chance to apply 'Poisoned', causing them to take 100 poison damage per second for the next 6 seconds.

...

This Rot-Bone Snake... it's ugly and disgusting!

No wonder no one comes to this swamp; these monsters are getting more and more insidious...

And they all have mediocre defense, just purely there to annoy you!

If you get hit by a DoT here, it's really tough to make it out of this swamp alive!

Although it's disgusting, while it disgusts him, it can disgust his enemies even more...

If the opposing faction has soft, cute girls, he wouldn't even need to fight; just toss this snake at their feet, and he'd probably win!

Catch ten more...
