Chapter 13:Aren’t We Supposed To Go South? (2/2)

Wei Huo began moving southwards. Although the beasts did not understand what had just happened, they followed Wei Huo instinctively.

They naively assumed that following Wei Huo was their best shot at survival because of his strength and goodwill.

It was important for animals to improve their living conditions while they were alive. What was wrong with being adorable to be fed? There was no need to take the trouble of hunting when they could just live an easy life! Their ego would not feed them.

Just as Wei Huo prepared to move along with the beasts, a quest was triggered.

”New quest, 'Safety and Defence'. The human body is fragile. Equip yourself with protective gear. A game item will be rewarded once the quest is completed.”

Wei Huo was stunned. Another game item? He had already collected Doran's Shield. Could it be that he was not too far from collecting the Bloodthirster?

He had to complete the quest no matter what it was!

Wei Huo said to the beasts, ”Give me a moment!”

Wei Huo ran in the direction of the north. He remembered that there were bamboos growing in that direction, and he could use them as armor. Nonetheless, bamboo-made armors were pretty useless. His own skin was tougher than those.

Both beasts were confused. ”???”

'Aren't we supposed to go south?'

They could not understand the human language. That was why wherever Wei Huo went, they just followed him.

When they saw Wei Huo cutting bamboo sticks, they followed suit despite not knowing why he needed to do so.

Nothing ever goes wrong when you follow whatever the leader does, even if you don't know why.

Wei Huo was confused when he saw these two chewing on the bamboo sticks. 'What's going on? You're eating bamboo sticks? It was normal for pandas to do so, but why was the tiger chewing on them as well?'

Wei Huo saw them breaking the bamboo sticks up after chewing on them and followed the way he put those sticks together. He was confused yet again. 'What's going on, were you guys assigned to the quest as well?'

Wei Huo made his own armor by tying the bamboo sticks together using tree vines. It was a rectangular-shaped armor. There were openings on top as well as both left and right sides of it, and it was empty at the bottom. The insides of it were left empty as well.

After making his own, Wei Huo made armors for the beasts as well to protect their vulnerable stomach. However, the tiger was uncomfortable after wearing it. It attempted to bite the bamboo-made armor off its body. However, its head could not reach the armor, and it eventually started going in circles.

'You're causing trouble for me, Fatty Tiger!'

The panda did not resist when the armor was put on it, but after some time it pulled out a bamboo stick and began nibbling on it.

'These were snacks for the road!'

Wei Huo facepalmed. He knew the IQs of these beasts were not as high as he thought.

The trio began moving towards the south while Wei Huo collected the game item awarded to him.

”Quest 'Safety and Defence' completed. You have been rewarded with 'Strength Bracer'.

”Strength Bracer will slightly increase its bearer's strength.”

It was a golden bracer, and Wei Huo wore it on his wrist. He threw a few punches and began crying in the next second.

It was a 'slight' increase indeed!

Bloodthirster is an advanced item commonly known in League of Legends. The wielder of the weapon is bound to the blade and its thirst for blood forever.
