Chapter 75 - Mission Summons (2/2)
The Wild Giant had its last thought as it moved the test papers in front of Wei Huo. It then said, “Save these ancient scrolls for me. After I die, the Ice Elementals in the sealed ancient scrolls will vanish. I don’t want these ancient scrolls to be lost.”
The last star in the sky disappeared. Dark clouds gathered again, and snow continued falling.
Wei Huo looked into the snowman’s eyes and said solemnly, “Don’t worry, I will take care of these ancient scrolls.”
The giant nodded and pointed at a test paper. “One more thing. I hope you can help me find the owner of this ancient scroll. If he’s still alive, tell him…”
“Tell him what?” Wei Huo’s eyes were moist. I’m right in front of you. What are you trying to tell me?
The giant said with a pause, “Tell him… his deskmate is…”
The snowy giant’s body trembled as its eyes lost their luster.
Wei Huo was confused. My deskmate? What happened to my deskmate? Come to think of it, who was my deskmate?
This was probably a quest notification. He could look for clues in these test papers in the future.
The snow was swept away by the battle, but it gradually gathered as it fell. However, the snow on the snowman’s body was slowly melting. In the end, it turned into a pile of gravel, and the snowman’s strength disappeared.
Wei Huo did not know if the Wild Giant had been a living creature. Although it could move, it did not have any blood. Although it could think, it did not have a brain. The soul gem had been its core. Without the gem, it had died.
The soul gem in Wei Huo’s hand was shattered into pieces, but he kept it.
One could not obtain any Magical Stones by killing an Epic-ranked creature, but one could exchange a soul gem for 1,000 Magical Stones. It seemed like an Epic-ranked soul and a Rare-ranked soul were not 100 times different, but 1,000 times.
The broken soul gem could be exchanged for Magical Stones as well. However, Wei Huo would not exchange it. He planned to keep the gem, as he might have a chance to resurrect the snowman in the future.
The Wild Giant and the Black Dragon were both dead, but the Ice Elementals on the snowy mountain were still there. Some new ones would appear after some time. Wei Huo went down the mountain and searched everywhere. Indeed, he found the Black Dragon’s Lair in a hidden place. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the Black Dragon’s Lair other than a Crawling Dragon.
It seemed like the Black Dragon’s Lair was just a normal upgrading area.
Wei Huo waited for half a year. The new Epic-ranked snowy giant and the new Epic-ranked Black Dragon respawned, but they could not remember Wei Huo anymore.
The new Wild Giant did not remember Wei Huo or any humans. It was not interested in human science, as Wei Huo had collected all the textbooks. It did not know anything about human ancient scrolls or the human language.
Plus, its temperament was completely different from the snowman’s. It was not the same giant it had been before!
It was a new snowy giant sent by the snowmen.
Due to the fact that both the Wild Giant and the Black Dragon were dead, Wei Huo’s quest had failed. This time, he climbed up the mountain and obtained another piece of armor. He then triggered the quest.
Wei Huo helped the snowman kill the Black Dragon and completed the quest. He was rewarded with the snowman’s favorability bonus and a random item.
‘Spotted Slag’
‘Skill: Sacrifice. When using the item, you will cause burn damage to everything around you.’
It was a fist-sized slag. A circle of fire would appear under one’s feet when it was used. The circle of fire would not harm one’s body, but it would hurt everything around it. When Wei Huo acquired this equipment, white smoke was emitted from the soul gem he had gotten by killing the Black Dragon. The surrounding dragons scattered in fear, and the snow melted. Wei Sha and the rhinoceros also moved away from Wei Huo.
Wei Huo did some calculations. The burning temperature was about 1,000°C and had a range of 10 meters. It was considered a rather powerful AOE weapon.
