18 First Step (1/2)
Yale was ready to continue with the hunting when the little wolf approached the Fire Wolf's corpse and started eating it.
Yale was flabbergasted, the little wolf was an addict to eating fresh meat but to eat that Fire Wolf seemed excessive even for Yale who killed it mercilessly.
As Yale was pondering the reasons for the little wolf behavior, the system replied to him.
”That little wolf has inherited mostly only the bloodline of the Frost Wolf, and the Fire Wolf part was incomplete, by consuming the Fire Wolf it can complete it.”
Yale wasn't expecting a reply from the system, but the answer was reasonable as the little wolf was pure white like its mother.
Yale watched until the little wolf finished eating, it was still looking the same, but the little wolf's strength increased.
After Yale saw that scene, he understood that the world of beasts was very different from the human world.
After all, the humans didn't eat each other, although some weird ones did it, they were despised and hunted down by the society until they were dead.
However, eating each other was the rule in the world of beasts, there was nothing wrong with the little wolf eating the Fire Wolf.
After that, Yale and the little wolf resumed their hunting.
In the following months, Yale was forced to battle against another 2-star monster, the battle was quite dangerous, but Yale managed to win without serious injuries.
In that time, Yale's skills became stronger.
Sword Mastery finally reached Apprentice level eight, Archer's Senses the level five, Pain Tolerance the level four, Auto-regeneration the level five and stealth the level six.
Stealth had the best increase among all the skills followed by Archer's senses, that was because those two passive skills were the most useful in hunting.
The other three skills only leveled up in Yale last battle against the 2-star monster. However, Yale was satisfied.
Time passed, and Yale finally turned ten years old, at that moment the system reacted at the same time that the Origin Path Training Method in his mind activated.
Yale felt his body burning as the first strand of Origin Qi was beginning to form.
”User reached ten years old, the world's protection disappears.”
”Dynamic Quest completed, giving rewards according to the number of killed monsters.”
In those months, Yale killed uncountable 1-star monsters and also three 2-star monsters including the Fire-wood Tiger and the Fire Wolf, so he hoped for good rewards.
” Rewards: Fire Elemental Affinity: High grade, Earth Elemental Affinity: Mid grade, Wind Elemental Affinity: Mid-low grade, Poison Elemental Affinity: Low grade, Bloodline enhancement to 5-star Frost Wolf Bloodline: Complete.
Even with his attention divided because of the current state of his body, Yale was flabbergasted about the rewards, they were far better than he expected, but the system was rational when it came to the rewards.
Yale killed two fire element 2-star monsters and then obtained a high-grade fire elemental affinity.
Earth and wind monsters were the most abundant in the Beast Trial, and the rewards were because of the quantity more than the quality.
As for the Poison Elemental Affinity, it was because the other 2-star monster was a big viper.
Poison was also a special element, and it was as rare as healing. However, healing was much more valued as there were a lot of methods to kill but saving others was more difficult.
What surprised Yale more was the last reward, the enhancement of the Frost Wolf bloodline.
The system counted the Frost Wolf death as Yale's kill. The Frost Wolf used his last life-force to pass the legacy to Yale and then died, even if it was going to die anyway the system counted it as Yale killing it.
Even if Yale didn't want to have the Frost Wolf death attributed to him, the reward he obtained for killing a 3-star monster was very good.
”The user created a strand of Origin Qi reaching Origin Level 1.”
