Chapter 27: Temporary Task

  Whatever... Okay, the second update will be two hours late and the third one will also be later than expected. The tragedy of not having a draft TT. The latest for the second update won't exceed 9:30 PM, if it's late, three updates tomorrow! Give myself some pressure!

  ——————

  The next morning, Jiang Xiaoyu stretched and rubbed her eyes.

  A difficult day has passed, and the days that follow will be even more cruel. It's just unknown when this group of ferocious beasts will disappear.

  Everyone is a cultivator, and going without food for one or two days, or even half a month, is no big deal. However, if the time stretches out any longer, their bodies will start to feel unwell, and their combat strength will greatly decline. And with fierce beasts everywhere, how can they still search for opportunities?

  "This group of ferocious beasts may be our opportunity..."

  One of them made a suggestion, and the crowd directly vetoed it without hesitation. The ferocious beast is all treasure, this point is beyond doubt, their strong physique, strong combat power, are derived from their endless life essence.

  Eating the flesh and blood of a ferocious beast will enhance one's physical strength and increase their lifespan! If one can swallow its essence, they will be able to defy heaven and change their fate, allowing an extraordinary genius to rise to the top in one step!

  But how powerful is a ferocious beast? Even the weakest one can only be subdued by a saint. Now, their realm is being suppressed, even in its heyday, it's not enough to fill the gap for the other party.

  "But the fact that these ferocious beasts can be suppressed here must mean that the master of this ancient site has achieved a profound level of cultivation, allowing him to contain them within this realm. Perhaps they have also been subdued and are not necessarily..."

  One of them guessed. This is highly likely, but the momentum made people have no idea to resist, was it really suppressed? If it was suppressed, why is there still such power?

  Although this proposal has come out, no one dares to play with their own lives. If the ferocious beast is not suppressed, when the time comes and they are furious, how will they face it? Just thinking about it makes them feel terrified.

  But one of his guesses, however, inadvertently sparked everyone's speculation. Who was the master of the ancient relic? No one knew that. Being able to create a world was absolutely not something a saint could do.

  Sages educate the world, but they are still far from reaching the level of creating heaven and earth. Perhaps only legendary gods have such abilities? It's just that I don't know if the master of that ancient relic has disappeared, in the long river of time, even gods will decay, no one can live forever.

  Thinking of this, the expressions of everyone present became somewhat dim. Is there really eternal life in the world? Many earth-shaking figures have emerged throughout history, opening up new eras and overthrowing old ones... but ultimately they all turned to dust and bid farewell to the world.

  Jiang Xiaoyu didn't have many thoughts about this, he was still worried about his one-year lifespan, and eternity was something he had never thought of. Living on a planet where cultivation was impossible, no one would consider how long they could live, only knowing that they could spend the day safely was happiness.

  Those who are content are always happy. Practitioners, on the other hand, are a group of people who are not content and pursue life. It is precisely because of their discontent that they can sing all the way, die nine times without regret!

  But the idea of hunting down the ferocious beast is a bit too crazy. The tentacles of that mysterious creature from yesterday still leave him with a lingering fear. Yesterday, he only felt a slight pain in his hands, but now after waking up from sleep, both arms have a sore feeling, which is an aftereffect left from yesterday, and it's not a big problem now, just need to take care of himself for a while to recover.

  "Come and see quickly!"

  Someone outside the cave suddenly shouted, and everyone rushed out of the cave. They didn't need to be told what was happening because they had discovered something astonishing.

  Under the cave is a grassland, where all kinds of ferocious beasts are moving around. There are clouded leopards with cloud patterns painted on their bodies, white jade lions with hair as white as snow, and crimson blood beasts that look terrifying...

  Some of these ferocious beasts were walking around, some lay sleeping on the grass, and others were tearing at each other in combat.

  Yesterday, the iron arm tyrant dragon that everyone saw was not seen by anyone. This ferocious beast was famous in ancient times and few could rival it among ferocious beasts. And like this group of ferocious beasts on the grassland, although they are not as fierce as the iron arm tyrant dragon, they are absolutely not something that ordinary people can contend with.

  "We're done for, all roads are blocked, how can we get out of this godforsaken place?" Everyone's face turned pale.

  They looked around and found that there was no way to leave the cave and walk out of this prairie. Were they really going to be trapped here? Some people had already begun to regret it, knowing that they shouldn't have entered the ancient site in the first place.

  Boom!

  A loud roar came from afar, and everyone's gaze lifted up, only to see a dragon descending from the sky, spewing out flames! Its target was surprisingly yesterday's Iron Arm Tyrant Dragon!

  Its two arms waved and fiercely grabbed the body of the crocodile! The method was violent and direct, and the largeness of its body did not affect its speed!

  The dragon's body was like a coiled snake, lightly twisting and turning like a wave, easily avoiding the opponent's move.

  "Roar!"

  The dragon let out a loud roar, and then spewed out a purple flame from its mouth that could burn everything in the world! The Iron-Armed Tyrant Dragon crossed its arms over its chest, preparing to take on the purple flames head-on!

  Wow!

  Purple flames surged to its arms, and the Iron Armored Dragon was pushed back several meters by the impact of the purple flames! In the end, it stopped moving, and the purple flames also disappeared without a trace. Such a powerful purple flame, surprisingly didn't leave any marks on its arms!

  "It is recorded in ancient books that the flames spewed out by the ancient Jiao can burn everything to ashes. When it reaches the level of purple flames, nothing can withstand it! The Iron Wall Tyrant Dragon is indeed the king of ferocious beasts, and it's a pity that the purple flames didn't even leave a single hair on its body unscathed!"

  A fierce battle between two ferocious beasts, even if they are hundreds of miles apart, makes the ferocious beasts on the grassland begin to feel anxious. The ancient Jiao was also a powerful ferocious beast in ancient times! But as for its reputation, it is far inferior to the Iron Arm Tyrant Dragon.

  In ancient times, there was a divine spirit that wanted to subdue the Iron Arm Tyrant Dragon. However, in the end, it was killed by the Iron Arm Tyrant Dragon! It was an adult Tyrant Dragon that swept across the land and had no equal! And it was precisely because of this legendary battle that it established its position as the ferocious beast king!

  The ferocious beasts on the grassland are restless and have all left this grassland, deeply afraid of being affected by the flames of war.

  "An opportunity has arrived! This group of fierce beasts is leaving, and we can follow them!" The corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the scene on the grassland, and everyone's emotions suddenly surged.

  "Where should we go after leaving this cave?" one of them asked.

  "Everyone has their own destiny, I came here to hone myself and find the treasure of genius, not to be a timid turtle!" One person looked at that person with disdain, and that person was instantly filled with shame.

  Jiang Xiaoyu's face was gloomy on the side, his complexion changing constantly, and everyone didn't notice this because of the controversy.

  He just received a system prompt again, neither finding a promoter nor someone being promoted, but a sudden temporary task.

  Temporary Task: Hunt down a ferocious beast, and get 10 promotion points. Obtain a piece of flesh from the ferocious beast, with the reward promotion points determined by its size. The task can be repeated multiple times, failure will not incur any penalty, and the time limit is five days.

  Ten points for promotion! You can get it just by hunting a fierce beast! If you hunt nine heads yourself, you don't need to promote so hard anymore! Although this reward is very tempting, Jiang Xiaoyu is a rational person, so he will not take the road of self-destruction!

  And the flesh and blood of the ferocious beast... Looking at the two ferocious beasts fighting in the distance, Jiang Xiaoyu felt that this was not without hope!

  Actually, everyone's thoughts are similar, and no one directly leaves here. The two ferocious beasts are in a fierce battle! If they both suffer losses, won't they reap the benefits without doing anything? Even if they don't both suffer losses, they won't have any losses either, as the distance is so far that the impact of the battle can't reach them.

  The departure of those ferocious beasts was merely due to their instinctual fear of a superior being.

  No limit to the number of times, in the next five days, as long as you can keep getting some ferocious beast flesh and blood, that's all! This may be a thread of life, spreading the method and divine power together, but only twenty copies are available, relying on it for a year, one hundred points is difficult to reach!

  But the system task, got the divine fruit and only got two points. Now this temporary task is an opportunity for oneself to make a big profit in promoting point numbers! It's just that this opportunity depends on whether one can grasp it in their hands!

  "Ugh!"

  Iron Arm Tyrant Dragon let out a whimper as it was bitten by the Ancient Crocodile! The bite landed on its back, catching it off guard! Its tail swung around and struck the Ancient Crocodile with great force.

  The enormous body of the ancient turtle was struck and flew up, but it didn't fall down. Its dark green body floated in mid-air, staring coldly at Iron Armored King Dragon. Neither side had gained the upper hand, both were injured, and they seemed to be locked in a struggle to the death.

  Iron Arm Tyrant Dragon is the king of the land, it can't fly, but that doesn't hinder its attack. Just seeing its iron arm strike out, wave after wave of air waves follow, each wave of air vibration releases a powerful force. A cultivator at the Transformation Dragon stage would likely be shaken into powder and reduced to nothingness under this vibration!

  The dragon roared in anger, its body suddenly spinning to form a small whirlwind. The waves approaching the whirlwind were all dissolved and merged into the whirlwind along with its spiral motion. Its momentum unabated, it charged towards Iron Arm Tyrant Dragon!

  With both arms firmly holding back the whirlwind, the Iron-Armed Tyrant Dragon's body stood firm on the ground, unmoving! The two of them went back and forth, fighting for dozens of rounds, neither able to gain the upper hand. Their bodies were covered in blood, making one's heart tremble with fear at the sight.

  At this time, apart from Jiang Xiaoyu and his group, there were also many people watching from a distance. They all wanted to wait for the two sides to fight to the death, so that they could reap the benefits of their mutual destruction!

  No way, the two of them fighting was too loud, shaking this land and sky, it's hard to not be discovered.

  But everyone didn't discover, some earthy yellow skin crowd, also stealthily hide in one place, quietly observe.

  The natives are coming!
