12 harming medicine (2/2)
“If this is the case, I need to think of an idea.”
“Check for the urgent task!”
Shua~, the screen flashed. More than half of the task list disappeared.
“Continue searching for the task which has been put up the longest.”
Shua, the screen flashed again. Only one task was left above the screen.
(E/N: Shouldn’t it be sorted as a list, longest to most recent? >..<)
Collect 30 teeth roots of berserk jackal, task reward, five hundred thousand.
500 thousand star dollar was definitely a huge number. But this task, after one whole month appearing on the task list, nobody had fulfil the mission!
The reason was very simple. This so-called berserk red jackal was a type of mutated red jackal. People also said wolf and jackal. This was because they were both brutal and cruel, such similarities then made man to put them two together.
Jackal, is definitely not a wolf. However, it is even more vicious than a wolf.
To battle against a berserk red jackal, you would need a minimum of origin ability value 7. The most critical point here is jackals always stay in a group, as few as 7 to 8 or at worst, in dozens. They would usually hunt for food at the abandoned suburban region.
30 teeth root was actually not much. However, if only one tooth root is needed from each jackal, then this would be a huge problem!
What was Master Zhang planning to do? He only wanted one from each berserk red jackal. In other words, he wanted 30 teeth root from different berserk red jackals!
This would only meant he would need to face a group of berserk red jackals!
Only those with origin ability with 9 points would have such capability! As for those who had reached 9 points, would they even care this mere 500 thousand? Moreover, what if they accidentally met other stronger berserk beasts? After all, this is not a zero possibility.
“30 teeth root of berserk red jackal….”
Su Hao directly accepted this task. This task’s difficulty was very high but he was left with no choice. If he wanted to enhance his physical fitness, this was the only way out.
After accepting the task, Su Hao bought a map of the beast distribution around Jianghe city.
This map indicated a very clear information on which beast would usually appear at which locations.
Since the appearance of origin ability in the world, the berserk beast were becoming more clever too. Each species would have their own domain. Occasionally, they would roam outside of their territory but most of the time, they would just stay at their own domain.
As for why the berserk red jackal occupied the outskirts of Jianghe city, Su Hao made a guess that they must had been driven out by other powerful berserk beasts and finally fled all the way here.
After deciding on a reasonable route, Su Hao then rushed to the direction of berserk red jackal nest. Once again, he was out of the city. This time, he was much more calmer.
Most of the time, along the way, he would only encounter those berserk beasts below 5 points. Those who dared to give him trouble, he would instantly kill them with a move.
(E/N: Shouldn’t there be a book ‘Useful things from beasts’ that he can study, then collect things from the stuff he kills? For such a broke dude, he is missing easy money.. He could even complete other beginner tasks if he has the mats)
Soon, Su Hao reached the region of berserk red jackals and began to proceed cautiously.
His origin ability had reached 6.8. However, he believed that since he had mastered fighting techniques to such high level, getting rid of one red jackal should not be anything hard.
Carefully, he approached the abandoned houses and trees. Su Hao finally saw the appearance of a berserk red jackal.
It was somehow similar with ordinary dog with sharper claws and teeth. Because of the mutation, the whole body was in bright red, two eyes glowing in a red color as well. The aura it displayed was full of ferocity with two extremely long fangs protruding out.
Seven to eight red jackals were hanging out together. Su Hao immediately hid himself. He could only wait for the next target.
After consecutively hiding himself from four to five packs of jackals, Su Hao finally understood why nobody completed the mission after so long. He kept watching his prey for more than an hour yet not even one red jackal was seen alone.
“What the f*ck! How am I gonna complete this then?”
Su Hao cursed in his heart. Out of nowhere, he heard a very loud bang. Su Hao was shocked and turned his head to the right to look at the source of the sound. He saw at a distant away, a fire blaze was rampaging. The red jackals howled and began to disperse in a very messy order.
Numerous berserk red jackals heard the howl and quickly reacted by rushing there.
Sou!
Sou!
One by one, the red jackals rushed towards the direction of the flame.
Su Hao who was ready to go there and have a look too began to change his mind. He locked down his target at one of those red jackals who were slowest in reaction. Licking his dry lips, pounced like a tiger towards his target.
