Hao Ze came to the so-called "Northbound Forest".

As the name suggests, the north-facing forest is the forest to the north. The outer courtyard is surrounded by continuous forests, and it takes at least four days to walk south to reach the city, and once you go north, you will see endless grass and trees, all kinds of exotic beasts, strange scenery and strange rocks, and everything related to adventure.

Of course, there must be dangers.

The forests to the south are much safer, but because of the frequent traffic and the proximity to the city and schools, there are few rare things, let alone adventures. However, there are still ordinary herbs and contract beasts, yes, and they are enough for ordinary people.

According to common sense, Hao Ze, a scumbag with no actual combat experience, should also go to the south to experience first, but 521 told him that time was running out, and all kinds of reasons were pressed down together, coerced and lured, and in short, hooked Hao Ze to the North Forest.

Hao Ze looked at the obvious dividing line between the forest and the school in front of him, took a deep breath, and then took his own steps.

Hao Ze opened the task panel.

521 told him that the task panel had been updated, but he hadn't thought it was such a mission at the time.

Quest (1): Accept and complete the task of obtaining 50 low-level ordinary beast crystal nuclei

Quest (2): Accept and complete the task of obtaining 10 intermediate ordinary beast crystal nuclei

These two tasks are all bounty tasks issued by the school, which are almost the lowest level, but the first time Hao Ze saw this task, he understood the purpose of 521.

If you want to be strong in this world, your hands must be covered with blood.

It's not that there is any murder or anything, but killing is inevitable.

For a modern person who sells meat ready-made, such a thing is too harsh.

I don't seem to have said it before, in addition to Warcraft, Elf Species, Contract Beasts and other creatures in this world, there is also a creature called ordinary beasts.

However, although it is called "ordinary", it is not an ordinary beast, the kind that can be slaughtered by others. Rather, it is a "non-negotiable contract beast", which cannot enter into a contractual relationship with anyone except in very special circumstances.

And the intelligence is not high, the low-level intelligence is similar to the wild animals that Hao Ze knows, and some of the high-level and above can also be very high, and some can catch up with and surpass humans.

As for strength, the low-level will have some ordinary spells, the middle-level ability is a little stronger, the high-level is even better, and there are stronger ones on top of this, but the way of division is too troublesome, and there are very few people who remember it.

Speaking of which, I don't know why, this beast is still quite hostile to humans, and often fights with humans for some small reasons.

However, it is said that as the times move forward little by little, there are also people who have become friends with this ordinary beast, and although there is no contract, they can get along well, so over time, this kind of life has a not too formal name - alien beast.

It sounds like the name of the protagonist in a fantasy novel, but it's quite embarrassing to have such a general status here.

Hao Ze sighed and continued to walk forward.

Anyway, the name of the alien beast is better, and the level of naming in the world of fantasy novels is about the same.

The crystal nucleus of the alien beast is in his brain, so Hao Ze has to experience many bloody and vomiting sensations no matter what.

The forest was getting deeper and deeper, but according to 521, he would have to walk for at least another two or three hours before he could reach an area suitable for "farming experience".

In fact, in this world, alien beasts and contract beasts are not much better, nor are they much worse. The good ones can dominate one side, the lucky ones can find a master who loves her, some die in the fight, some are wantonly hunted and killed by humans, think about it carefully, and I don't know what to say.

The culprit is human?

Maybe there's a right answer to the question.

But it should also be said that sometimes, the fate of mankind is not much better.

Hao Ze looked at the rotting and tattered corpse in front of him, his eyes widened, and he was silent for a while, but he still took out a white cloth and covered his body.

If you come out to mix, you will have to change sooner or later.

This principle applies at all times.

The cruel world may have just begun.

A strange-looking bird swept through the sky and snatched a rodent creature that was crouching on the ground grazing, and after a few terrible screams, the world became silent again in the blink of an eye.

Hao Ze tightened his cloak and quickened his pace.

"We've reached the area infested by strange beasts, please be careful!"

A mechanical voice said suddenly.

This small function 521 was added to him two days ago, saying that it can not only reduce energy consumption, but also make it convenient for 521 to pay attention to Hao Ze's latest developments anytime and anywhere.

"Fifty meters in front of you, a small number of low-level alien beasts saber-toothed voles are gathering here, please pay attention to the host and prepare to attack!"

Hao Ze temporarily took off the cloak that hindered his movement slightly, ran away, and then jumped up and landed firmly on the branch of a tree.

Not far away, there were indeed a dozen or so clumpy creatures with long teeth and claws.

"Do you really want to kill so casually?"

Hao Ze still had a hint of hesitation.

521 immediately took his words, and said, "No problem. This little thing has a very strong ability to reproduce, and usually loves to gather into a large group to kill other creatures, and a few fewer are just a drop in the bucket, and they should be used as pests, so you can rest assured. This creature is not a good fellow among humans and beasts, and the corpse you just saw is indebted to them. ”

Listening to 521's words, Hao Ze closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then clenched his fists, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of determination.

He's going to be strong.

Hao Ze closed his eyes, calmed down, and remained motionless. At a certain moment, Hao Ze's long arm stretched, and countless sword-like white marshmallow-like wheals appeared around his arm, spinning, beating, and ready to attack. It looks soft and delicious, but it has a power that should not be underestimated.

He flicked his arms quickly, and the wind swords flew with his movements and then pushed them violently, like leopards that had just been sent out of their cages, and shot out in that direction.

At the same time, Hao Ze's body did not rest, and he jumped suddenly, just reaching the center of the chaotic rat swarm.

He silently recited the spell, and in an instant, a huge cage rose from the surface, seemingly soft and fragile, but elastic and unimaginably tough.

The rats were like ants thrown into a hot pot, fleeing around, but with nowhere to go, as if they were abandoning themselves to attack Hao Ze, but it had no effect.

The winner is decided.

Looking at the panicked mice, Hao Ze looked at the knife in his hand, hesitated, and took it back.

A white ball of light erupted in the cage.

After a long time, there was a dead silence, and the corpses were bloody.

A sigh rang out.

Something is missing.

It's really gone.

He can't keep it.

Coming to the new world, this is the most real and vivid lesson.
