Chapter 178 (2/2)
And naturally, Rank B Pro, it can't be decided by the examiner alone
Well, since the quest is about Testra Prairie Subjugation, let's do so
For that, first we need to understand the situations here
"Do you recognize this monster?"
I pointed at the dead serpent
If inally live here at Testra Prairie
"No, never seen a ht
This is the first time I've seen this uess how thisfrom the aura of its mana
"Then have you ever seen a monster that looks similar to this, but smaller?"
"Now that you mention it, it does look similar to a Venom Serpent"
The examiner pointed at the dead serpent
"VenohtOutwardly it looks pretty siround, and atOh and its poison is also effective on monsters"
Poison that's effective on ainst other monsters, so there's only a few species that have that kind of poison
And the serpent I just beat most likely had that poison
There's nofrom the mana
"Let's have a s of the dead serpent while luring a nearby wolf monster with 【Enforced Detection】
And then I threw that fang on the wolfthis novel at any other site than Sousetsukaco an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel >
The fang shallowly graze the wolf and fell down on the ground
Normally, such scratch would pose no problem to a an to convulse
The poison works as expected
There's no doubt
"This thing is most likely a Venom Serpent"
I pointed at the dead serpent
The examiner sent me a quizzical look when he heard that
"Like I said before, VenoIt's clearly a different thened"
"Strengthened?"
There exist then other thened by suchelse
"Uic circle inside this monsterMaybe, that's the reason?"
"Well, that's the rough answerThis is it"
I took out a ic stone is too sic stones this size are nor
And soic stone
Unlike the ic tools, the fact that this one made use of mana flow to alter the ic circles
"It really does look like awe've been using, I can't read what it does"
"Well, naturally occurring ic circles have peculiar constructions after allI'll teach you about it if you're interested laterFro and behavioral pattern shi+ft"
This ic stone, it's been darkened with spreading cracks
The serpent was probably going to die soon even without
"Behavioral pattern shi+ft?"
"YeahLikemonsters that don't ordinarily burrow to do so"
Monsters that's eable with brute force
But they could be hard to handle depending on the change of their behavioral pattern
And the biggest problem of this kind of ic circle inside it, right? But then who put it inside?"
Iris muttered so before I could say it
YesThat's the probleic circle inside wasa monsterAnd most likely a parasite type at that"
"Parasite type?"
"YeaAthen its host and the surroundingmonsters, you mean the one just noasn't the boss"
"YeahIt's just a s all over this prairie right now"
The
For even a
Since the parasite estthe boss here
"Monsters like this, crawling all over"
"Sorry but can I go hoo back after hearing what I said
Being able to quickly decide when to escape is an i away here is the correct answer for an adventurer who cannot use 『Passive Detection』, but please try a bit harder for the sake of our rank up
Let's try to amicably and peacefully persuade hio back alone, but we can't save you if you get attacked along the way, yeah? By the way, there's another five serpent monsters like the one earlier around this area"
"OkayLet's push on"
Looks like he understands now
Thus, ent deeper into the prairie
