Chapter 78 – Hidden Mission
What a beautiful girl, Fang Yuan thought to himself. The feeling she gave off was completely different from what the old man shared about Earth Arcane Earth.
The guardian of the arcane realm in front of him was a tall and beautiful woman with purple eyes and golden hair. She was not inferior to the models in the outside world at all.
After that there was a special person to receive him. He was led into a room, and there were already five people inside.
"Young man, this is the Thunder Arcane Realm. If you don't have a thunder pet, it is very likely that you will be directly hit by lightning. If you don't have a thunder pet, please leave on your own accord. Otherwise, you will be responsible for your own life!" The guardian said calmly.
After hearing this, Fang Yuan summoned Ah Li and Pick.
"Wow! So Cute."
The guardian's expression immediately changed after seeing Ah Li and Pick. She stroke Ah Li's head, and then picked up Pick and rubbed its face.
Fang Yuan was not in a hurry since he had 240 hours anyway.
Perhaps she had have enough, the guardian said coldly to Fang Yuan, "Young man, you can just call me Lei Lin. You've already proven that you have the ability to challenge the arcane realm. Now, I'll bring you to our exchange shop."
Following Lei Lin, they came to a stone house. The structure was completely similar to the wooden house in the Earth Arcane Realm, except that the material was different.
The booth was also filled with dense materials. Fang Yuan began to study them:
The "white rat fur", "brown rat fur", and "purple rat fur" were three items to evolve into the platinum grade. They corresponded to the speed of improvement, increased lightning damage, and upgraded yellow lightning to blue lightning, the three evolution directions.
On Ah Li's side, there were even more directions for evolution.
"Eye of Charm"– to increase the charm of the wind and thunder fox and extended its charm time.
"Sharp Claw"– to increase the attack power of the wind and Thunder Fox's sharp claws.
"Power of Three Tails (thunder)"– to increase the life attribute of the wind and thunder fox and to evolve to three tails (thunder).
Remark: The power of three tails requires the special evolution of wind, thunder, and gra.s.s.
"Why does this three tails need three materials to evolve?" Fang Yuan asked.
"It's because if it's a three-tailed fox, it can change its attributes in battle and release different skills. It's an extremely flexible battle pet. As it's too powerful, it has to limit its evolution," Lei Lin calmly introduced.
Definitely he did not have to think much. He didn't expect Ah Li could be so powerful. Such a fox was almost abandoned by others. This person was really blind.
Fang Yuan came to the mission panel.
Fang Yuan stood under the mission panel and started reading.
D rank mission: Eliminate the lightning chestnut ball *20 (silver-high)(infinite). Reward points: 5.
C rank mission: Eliminate the brahma ape (gold-low). Reward points: 10.
B rank mission: Eliminate the rain-orange-withering-lizard (gold-mid). Reward Points: 50.
A rank mission: Eliminate
S rank mission: Defeat the singing snake (platinum-low). Reward points: 500.
"What does 'infinite' mean?" Fang Yuan asked.
It means that after you accept the mission, you will receive a reward for every 20 lightning chestnut b.a.l.l.s you kill. You don't have to come back every time to submit the mission. You just have to submit the mission before it ends."
As Lei Lin was explaining, she felt that the youth in front of her did not know anything. However, as the guardian of the arcane realm, her duty was to guide every challenger who entered the arcane realm.
"Okay. I will take this mission!"
Hearing this, the two pet beasts expressed that they had no objections and appeared to be full of energy.
It had been eight days since they entered the Thunder Arcane Realm. Although they would feel tired in the realm, they did not feel hungry. It was also a magical thing.
Fang Yuan no longer needed to command Ah Li and Pick. They would find the chestnut b.a.l.l.s themselves and kill them at an extremely fast speed.
It's about time, Fang Yuan thought. His mission book said that he had already killed 9,999 lightning chestnut b.a.l.l.s.
"Ah Li, kill the last chestnut ball in your hand. We should go back now." Fang Yuan yawned. He was tired of watching it.
Just as Ah Li used his sharp claws to split the chestnut ball in half, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky. A stern voice was heard:
"Who is this?! Who killed so many of my chestnut ball brothers?!"
They saw that the person who came was wearing a cloak and a bamboo hat. He looked like a chivalrous man.
Fang Yuan could not help but raise his vigilance. However, when he took off his bamboo hat, Fang Yuan could not help but burst into laughter. This person's body was exactly the same as a human's, but his head was a chestnut ball. He looked especially… awkward!
"How dare you! Are you the one who destroyed so many of my brothers? I want to avenge my brothers. I want to have a duel with you!" The chestnut ball man said.
"Oh? A duel, then come on!" Fang Yuan thought to himself. No matter how strong the chestnut ball was, how strong could it be? "Ah Li, get ready to attack."
A huge chestnut ball appeared out of thin air in front of them. What was even more exaggerating was that this chestnut ball wore a crown, giving off a domineering aura. It was just a little comical…
As it was a duel, the opponent's information quickly appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.
[Scientific name: Lightning crackle.]
[Bloodline: Chestnut.]
[Quality: Platinum-low-grade.]
[Attributes: Thunder, plant, fire.]
[Positioning: Attack/support.]
[Skills:???]
Fang Yuan found it very interesting with the skills being displayed as question marks. The old man of Earth Arcane Realm had mentioned before that if a pet beast had evolved a skill, its skills would be different from other same pets, and it would be displayed as question marks or unknown.
Therefore, the personalized pet beast ability had gradually become the focus of people's training.
However, no matter how he looked at it, this person was not a real human. It could even be a pet beast that had evolved to a certain stage in the chestnut ball's evolution. He could actually become a trainer.
"Pi li pi li! Pi li pi li!" The big chestnut ball on the stage was emitting lightning all over its body. It looked very angry.
This is a platinum grade chestnut ball, Fang Yuan had to be very focused.
"Ah Li, go! Sharp claws!" Ah Li had been fighting with chestnut b.a.l.l.s recently, and its level had been raised from grade two to grade five. As it saw that the other party was another chestnut ball but in a bigger size, it did not care at all.
"It is you this demon fox, annihilated so many of our compatriots right?" The chestnut ball man's eyes shed tears, full of sad expression.
"Huh?" When Fang Yuan heard this, he felt very uncomfortable.
In his opinion, everything in the arcane realm should just be an environment, so he did not feel guilty at all when he wiped them out.
However, this person gave him the feeling that he was a living, real human being.
"Pi li pi li, let's decide the winner with one strike. Use the skill [thunder and fire]!"
The body of the chestnut ball on the stage had become larger, and the whole body was surrounded by golden lightning. Ah Li's claws were bounced off, it returned to its original place, showing sharp teeth.
And the chestnut ball gathered all the lightning in one place, shooting at Ah Li!
"Ah Li, use the wind, get out of the way!" Fang Yuan sensed that the situation was not good and said to Ah Li. Although it could reduce the lightning damage by 20%, the damage looked really terrible!
