Chapter 173: Chapter 173
"There are no penalties for this task, meaning, if I find it unachievable, I can leave at once. So, there’s nothing to worry about." For professionals, everything is based on tasks.
Without task penalties, nothing matters. If penalties exist, then it’s over. Many professionals won’t take on tasks with penalties.
"Also, a heavenly disaster beast in development should be very weak, otherwise, the ruling wouldn’t assume that it could be stopped. Unachievable tasks wouldn’t be drafted as actual tasks by the ruling."
Du You had already known this a while ago, or rather, his teacher had told him when he became an awakener.
So, why hesitate? Let’s take it on.
What Du You hadn’t expected was a task prompt right after he decided to accept the task.
’Do you wish to accept this task? This is a special task. Once accepted, any kills within this area before task completion will yield no gains. All proceeds will be included in the final reward.’
Du You was taken aback. This was the first time he had to pause at a task prompt.
"So, once this task is accepted, whatever I kill in this mountain won’t yield anything until the task is completed. Or in other words, if the task fails, all efforts would be in vain."
Du You pondered for a moment, finally deciding to take on the task.
"Fortune favors the brave. No risk, no gain. It’s just a matter of two days. If I can’t get to the heavenly disaster beast within two days, I’ll leave immediately." Du You set a deadline for himself - two days.
Of course, in reality, judging by the distance between him and the hill, he could probably reach it within a day if he went fast. But, he couldn’t bet on speed either.
He started his task, letting everything out and silently moving towards the direction of the hill. He had to cross a slope first. There could be level 10 giant beasts on this slope.
As he carefully approached with his compass in hand, a red dot appeared on Du You’s compass. An intense light meant the giant beast wasn’t small.
When he saw the beast, however, he felt quite annoyed: "A turkey? Not sure if it can fly. If it does, that’s going to be troublesome." Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
Du You disliked dealing with avian beasts, they were usually too quick and agile. It could possibly fly. Turkeys, contrary to popular belief, were capable fliers.
"Well, this guy is sleeping right now, so Xiaozi."
Du You finally prepared to use his secret weapon.
Xiaozi nodded and looped above the turkey in the sky, but each time Xiaozi flew it always got the turkey’s attention. It couldn’t help it, Xiaozi was a large threat to the beast.
Du You smacked his own forehead, "Seems like you won’t do. Cursed Crow, it’s you."
After some experimentation, Du You found that Cursed Crow King was perhaps not suitable for combat. Even if it flew in the sky, it wouldn’t draw the turkey’s attention. So the plan could continue.
Cursed Crow King took two potion vials into the sky, these were not ordinary substances - these were vials of enchantment potions.
From high up in the sky, Cursed Crow King dropped the two vials. However, the beast of a turkey had no knowledge or concern for the two vials. The vials smashed on the hard turkey feathers, and the contents within seeped out and stuck to the turkey beast like glue.
Yet the turkey had no response due to the small amount of liquid and the layer of feathers in between.
"Hooray, I’ve succeeded." Du You fist-pumping, he was filled with excitement.
Although this doesn’t fit his standards, it is still an obstacle in the way. It would be better not to cause too large a commotion.
There was no honor in this hunt, but it might be more straightforward this way. The harmless-looking glue slowly soaked and penetrated deep into the skin and body of the turkey beast, which was completely ignoring it.
It was not a poison, but a special type of enchantment potion. Gradually, Du You noticed the beast turkey’s mental state was worsening, its head nodding off slowly - this wasn’t normal sleep.
The turkey beast was completely oblivious to this, perhaps because it had never encountered such an attack. When the last bit of the sticky fluid disappeared, Du You knew the potion’s effect had been fully accomplished.
Although the exact effect of the potion was unknown, a double dose of it should do the job. This stuff could poison a human to death. Seeing the turkey beast pass out, Du You ordered Xiaozi to attack.
Instantly, a thunder light orb shot out, hitting the turkey beast’s head. Even though it was a level 10 beast, it had a trace of black charring on its head. The turkey beast struggled to open its eyes and tried to fly, but it could not maintain balance, hopping about clumsily.
"Good, the effect is excellent." Du You pulled out a spear without hesitation. This was a beast hunter’s spear.
Du You threw the spear once he aimed at his target and the spear flew out at high speed the moment it left his hand, a speed Du You himself couldn’t achieve.
This was due to the spear’s inherent special ability. As the spear turned into a streak of light and pierced the turkey beast’s chest, blood gushed out.
The beast hunter’s spear was made for hunting large-sized beast clans. Once it hits the target, it will brutally drain the blood. The draining speed was far better than a bloodletting groove. At this rate, the turkey beast should be drained dry within half an hour. Of course, this was Du You’s own estimate and he didn’t know the exact case.
He wasn’t exactly a professional, so he had to go mostly by guess.
After being attacked, the turkey beast finally realized that it was under attack. It turned its head and charged towards Du You.
A yellow light from its beak gave off an impressively sharp feeling. "This isn’t good, the attack speed is so fast. Was this thing really poisoned by the enchantment potion? How is it still so fast?"
