Chapter.59 Conquest and Challenge
"That's okay, okay, it's a dream."
Xian Zimo stood aside and watched the fair duel between the big wolf and the wild fat rat boss, and couldn't help complaining. However, there is no need for him to worry about the battle situation ahead, although the big wolf only bears the name of "elite", but he has beaten the fat rat leader to the ground.

The collision and bite of the fat rat boss caused very little damage to the big wolf. It's no wonder that the attribute template of the big wolf seems to be a natural meat shield.
But the big wolf is not weak in attack, and after two attacks, he hung a state of [bleeding] on the fat rat. As a result, the effect of [Bloody Hunt] increasing speed appeared, and its attacks became more frequent.
It didn't take long for the fat rat to have only a trace of blood left. Seeing this, Xian Zimo knew that the battle was over, and the big wolf's [Savage Bite] had not been cast, and now it could be used to kill.
Just as he had imagined, the big wolf opened his bloody jaws and closed the leader of the Brown Fur Regiment. It's just that the hint of killing hasn't surfaced for a long time.
Xian Zimo took a closer look, but the big wolf had already retreated. It actually let the other party live, and pretended to raise its head and let out a long wolf howl.
"Big wolf, you don't pretend to be a bastard there, and you don't kill the boss? Loser. He just thought about stepping forward to mend the knife, only to find that the boss had become a white-named creature.

'War Beast reaches level 15 and begins to advance to the star rank. ’
In the long prompt, watching the half-dead fat rat boss leave, Xian Zimo patted the big wolf beside him: "Man, do you know that there is a saying called high merit and shaking the master?" ”
The one-eared wolf only moved his left ear in response to this, and coldly glanced at his comrades beside him with his cold eyes. Then, he went to the front, as always, as a pioneer.
"This guy, is it so cool......" If it weren't for the loyalty of the attribute that maintained full value, Xian Zimo was really a little worried about being sent back to the city by his own war beast. With the current attributes of the big wolf, if you really start with him, it will be really difficult to get it.
But what surprised him the most was that this [War Beast] system still had the setting of "conquest" for the wild area. No wonder the war beast is not an accessory, but no, now the big wolf seems to be more colorful than him.
Since there is no mention of "help", in Xian Zimo's view, in addition to being more compelling, the biggest benefit so far is the "growth point" of 1 point. In other words, the biggest advantage of [War Beast] over [Taming Beast] is reflected in this attribute.
Taming beasts and war beasts need to consume growth points if they want to gain any new abilities, talents, skills, or eliminate weaknesses. However, this attribute is quite difficult to obtain.
Taming beasts and war beasts that retain their "wildness" have a chance to gain growth points when leveling up. However, when the [Taming Beast] is tamed, the "Wildness" will decrease as the intimacy level increases, and it will no longer gain growth points when leveling up. Then, the only way to get growth points is through "star ascension" or "advancement".
According to the "older generation" animal trainers on the forum, the problem of difficulty in obtaining growth points will not be solved until at least 30 years later. And to survive the 20th level during the period, it takes a lot of courage, and even if you survive, you have to go through another generation of taming beasts, or re-cultivating beast tamers......
As a result, the vast majority of people have given up on this profession. Indeed, with that kung fu, if you change your career, why can't you do it?
However, [War Beast] is different. As long as you keep stocking from time to time, the "wild" attribute will be maintained or even improved. The trade-off is that there is no "room for taming beasts". And now it seems that the meaning of stocking is not only in the maintenance of "wildness", but also in the setting of this "conquest".
Of course, stocking is not without its drawbacks...... For example, "help" has been explicitly stated. If a Warbeast dies during Free-for-Freedom, and the player who is a comrade cannot revive it before it "corrupts", the Warbeast will die permaly.
"Next time I learn skills, I'll have to learn my own combat skills, otherwise I'll really become Ash."
Walking behind the wolf, Xian Zimo muttered to himself. That being said, what he has to do now is to help the big wolf complete the "star promotion" first. Beast taming and war beasts will have such a hurdle if they are not level 5, and if they don't step over, they will not be able to gain experience again.
Open the war beast bar, and a hint of a star-level challenge appears next to the big wolf's avatar. Generally speaking, the challenges at the lower levels are not too difficult and are the same, and can be completed with a little time.
Xian Zimo checked the big wolf's star level challenge, but found that it was different from the description on the forum. What the forum said is that the Star Rank Enhancement Challenge for each stage is fixed, and there are three challenges with different levels of difficulty, which can be completed by choosing one of the three. However, there was only one thing he saw now:
【Star Challenge: Conqueror】
Difficulty: D (Advanced)
Contents: prepare to conquer a region above the normal level (0/1). Reborn, it wants to prove that its strength still exists. As a comrade-in-arms, you should probably respect its choice (forbidden to participate in combat).
"I'm going, it has its own story mission?"
After reading the content of the challenge, Xian Zimo couldn't help but smack his lips. The most disturbing part of this challenge is the red letter "forbidden to participate in combat" in parentheses, you must know that the tasks seen on the forum basically require the help of animal trainers.
Fortunately, this challenge is not difficult, he can rest assured that the big wolf can complete it alone, and the [White Dove Meadow] is a ready-made area. He also saw just now that the boss here is not the opponent of the big wolf at all.
"Big wolf, then you can stay here and complete the challenge. I'm sure it's impossible for me to stare at the side, so I'll wait for you at the [Fluorite Slope] in front of me first. Xian Zimo said while giving his war beast the command to "complete the challenge".
The one-eared wolf nodded very humanely, and then set it aside. The phrase "war beasts are not accessories of animal trainers" is perfectly interpreted on its body.
[Fluorite Slope] is a level 13 area not far from [White Pigeon Meadow], where while waiting for the big wolf, Xian Zimo can also farm some wild monsters to rush to the level. If the big wolf really has three long and two short, he will have time to turn back and rescue.
Of course, this is only an expected scenario. When he arrived at the fluorite slope, he found that things were not at all as rosy as he thought.
'Discover [Fluorite Slope] and gain 50 exploration experience. ’
The dense crowd on the high slopes on both sides of the road made Xian Zimo a little dumbfounded. After so many days of opening the server, it is a matter of course for a large number of players to enter the main city, and the location of level 13 is indeed suitable for the general public, but ...... It's not going to attract so many people, is it? There are more areas near the main city at level 12 and 13.
And in the crowd, there are not only players, but also many NPCs. 'Is there some big deed mission here?' He couldn't help but think.
Looking at these people again, they are really not busy brushing up levels. One by one, they all went for the clear fluorite on the slope, and only occasionally killed some troublesome red monsters.
Although he doesn't like to join in the fun, at this time, Xian Zimo doesn't plan to change places anymore. Anyway, no one but him came for the wild monsters, so no amount of people could affect him.
[Falling Stone Goat (Lv. 13)], [Luminous Shell Stone Armor (Lv. 13)], and [Red-headed Vulture (Lv14)] are the most common monsters on the Fluorite Slope. Although all of them are higher than him, they are not too difficult to deal with.
The female rockfall goat is born thin and weak, and even if it does not reach the vital part with two consecutive hits with [Heavy Punch], it is enough to make it lose half of its HP, and the male is not much better. Once the goat has half of its health, it will start to run away, and will constantly use its hind hooves to flick the stones and gravel on the ground to stop its pursuers.
It's just that this state of the fluorite slope is ...... The working people who are all over the mountains are limited in their flexible escape. So Xian Zimo could finish off the fleeing goats without hurrying.
The Luminous Shell Stone Beetle is just a clumsy beetle, and it is not difficult to kill, but it is too time-consuming. The best choice is the red-headed vulture, although the attack power is higher, but as long as you pay attention, it will not overturn.

After the clean and neat [continuous punch] shot down a red-headed vulture that was about to spread its wings and escape, Xian Zimo finally saw the golden light of the upgrade. Sure enough, it was even more difficult to get promoted after taking office.
‘Level Up! ’
'Health +2'
'Stamina +1'
'Constitution +1'
'Strength +2'
'Speed +1'
'Skill+2'
'Fight +1'
'Gain 4 Free Attribute Points'
'Gain 2 Skill Points'
'Trigger [Greed], +1 Speed
Sure enough, after frequent skipping battles, the upgrade score reached the standard. Unexpectedly, it also triggered the national skill [Greed] of the Terrans, which was the first time. 1% chance of being hit.
After taking office, each upgrade comes with a class bonus. In addition to the 1 life of the general public, the bonus of the Beast Tamer is a fixed increase in strength and technology.
As for the free attribute points and skill points that can be obtained, they have also been increased due to the job.
"If you don't upgrade, you'll forget about it, and there are still 6 attribute points on hand that haven't been allocated. It's this profession, and it doesn't seem to focus on any attribute......" Xian Zimo looked at the attribute panel and was in trouble, but there was a thank you behind him.
"Thank you for helping me get rid of that ugly bird, I thought I was going to die."
