Chapter 255: Deep Bleak Valley (1/2)
<Sudden Quest Completed!>
<Obtained Immunity to Mist Effect, Vashag Eyes, and 30,000,000 Exp>
The system gave notification of completing the quest Rex got before, he then takes out Vashag Eyes that he got before he absorb Vashag Eyes into his eyes.
<Obtained 1,000 Eyes Exp!>
<The user's eyes have leveled up!>
<The user's eyes have leveled up!>
<The user's eyes have leveled up!>
Rex smiles after seeing the series of notifications appear in front of his vision.
This is the first time he got an item that gives him eyes exp and thus leveling his eyes three times in a row, 'I got mental from leveling my eyes? Maybe I should focus on my eyes'
While he's looking at the notifications, another notification replaced the previous one.
<Sudden Quest!>
<Villagers Crisis>
Because of angering Vashag, the user puts the villagers in danger. The villagers are forced to use the Vermillion Flower in order to hide from Vashag's bloodthirsty eyes. Repay the trouble the user brings to the villagers by getting the Vermilion Flower in their stead.
Quest Reward:
*Get 100 Vermillion Flowers and Kill 10 Grisly Brown Bear: 5,000,000 Exp, and 10 Grisly Brown Bear Claw
*Get 200 Vermillion Flowers and Kill 20 Grisly Brown Bear: 10,000,000 Exp, and 20 Grisly Brown Bear Claw
*Get 500 Vermillion Flowers and Kill 20 Grisly Mist Bear: 30,000,000 Exp, 10,000 gold, 20 Grisly Mist Bear Claw, and Blood Moon Essence
Reading the new sudden quest he got, Rex was quite surprised because this is the first time he got such a quest.
Usually, he will just get a fixed reward or calculated rewards.
But this time, the system gave him a target to get a higher reward and the reward surely is rich if he manages to get the last one.
While reading the quest, Rex's eyes fall onto the last reward.
Blood Moon Essence...
'System, Can you tell me about the Blood Moon Essence?', Rex asks hopefully.
The system ignored Rex making him sigh in defeat, 'Well that's a stupid question, I'll just need to get it then', Rex thought.
But while he's talking to himself, Adhara and Edward look at him in confusion.
”What is it?”, Edward asks warily.
Adhara is also on full alert, she glances around the place warily trying to find any sign of mutated animals or even Supernatural, ”I can't sense anything”, she said lightly.
Hearing this, Rex snapped out of his daze and glance at both of them.
Rex glances at Adhara and Edward and finds them looking at him in confusion.
Turns out while Rex is busy with the system's notifications, Rex stopped on his track subconsciously making Adhara and Edward alert.
They thought Rex felt something but he didn't, he just got distracted.
”Nothing, Let's keep going”, Rex smile wryly before resuming their travel to the valley.
Rex and the others dash through the thick mist like three ghosts,
Because of the thick mist, Adhara and Edward stick close to Rex because it seems Rex can navigate through the thick mist easily and they don't want to get left behind.
Lost in this kind of place is a common occurrence, and both of them try to keep up with Rex.
'Thanks to the system, I get all of my senses back', Rex thought.
Aside from the Experience and Vashag Eyes that he got, Rex also got immunity to the mist effect that blocks all of his senses.
Now he can see the entire surroundings clearly just like without the mist.
Not long after they dashes through the thick mist, Rex stopped when they saw a gushing flowing river in front of them.
”This should be the place, Deep Bleak Valley”, Rex said while looking at the surroundings.
The old woman told Rex about this valley that should be the home of Vermillion Flowers, she said that they only needed to head north until they meet a river.
Rex glance around and saw many huge rock spikes decorate the surroundings.
”Shit!”, Edward cursed as he slipped.
Adhara and Rex glance towards him and see Edward lying on the ground, he tripped on something that makes him fall.
Rex looks to the ground and finds green mosses and lichens covering the rocky ground.
The mosses and the lichens are contrasting with the entire color background of the place which is dominated with grey, it gives somekind of liveliness in this place.
But when Edward was about to get up, Rex glance to his right.
He felt something coming from his right and saw a creature there, it's similar to a bear.
”Heads up, we got a company”, Rex said while pointing to his right.
Hearing this, Adhara and Edward glance to the right before slowly a shadowy huge figure appeared from the mist.
The creature turns out to be a mutated bear that the old woman is talking about.
Rex scans the bear before a smirk appeared on his face,
<Grisly Brown Bear>
Race: Mutated Mammals
Power: Fourth Rank (Mid)
Mental: 48
Strength: 91
Agility: 45
Endurance: 61
Intelligence: 0
Seeing the Grisly Brown Bear's stats, Rex smile lightly before he sat on a rock behind him, ”Alright, you guys take care of the mutated brown bear around here”
Hearing this, Edward and Adhara glance at each other briefly.
”Alright!”, Edward replied with excitement.
Because of the incident in the Crystalline of Mana, he never got to truly use his new element prowess but he knows that his fire becomes stronger.
These mutated brown bears are the perfect dummy for him to test his new element.
In front of the three of them, a Grisly Brown Bear appeared.
The mutated brown bear stands hulkingly in front of them, its sheer size is easily two to three times bigger than Rex's Werewolf Form.
Its claws are long and sharp just like black steel, and they have two sharp sabertooth fangs.
Looking at the massive target practice in front of them, Edward takes out his daggers as battle intent emerges from within.
The black flame that he newly possessed cloaked his daggers menacingly.
Although there is no heat coming out from the black flame, it still emits weird frightening energy that makes the mutated brown bear glance at them.
But right after Edward's eyes burn with excitement,
Grrr...
Raawrgh!
Many growling sounds suddenly can be heard from behind as many shadowy figures appeared from the mist like ants.
Looking at this, cold sweat runs down Edward's forehead.
”Adhara? I think I might need your help”, Edward mumbles seeing the approaching creatures.
