Absolute Death Game

Xiao Buli frowned. Starting from the fifth coordinate, all the subsequent ones were demon beasts native to the Dark Forest. However, without the Demon Realm Chapter of Wild Beast Knowledge, he really had no way to capture them. Explore more at empire

He vaguely remembered that Ma Long from the White Tiger team used to have a Shadow Leopard, which he probably got from obtaining the "Wild Beast Knowledge: Demon Realm Chapter" in the Dark Forest. But he simply didn't have the time to slowly farm for the Skill Book. In that case, he might as well choose the White Tiger, which would be quite useful to him as a powerful melee combat pet.

"How about this White Tiger, is it strong?" he probed.

Zhang Yaoyang shook his head, "It's not that it's strong, it's essentially just an enhanced version of a regular tiger. Its attributes are slightly higher, nothing else really, just looks prettier. I'd actually suggest you capture a Shadow Leopard instead, they have Shadow Escape and Shadow Jump skills, making them very sharp at ambushes and assassinations. It's just a bit hard to capture.

Saber-Toothed Wolves are also good; they're all over the Dark Forest."

Xiao Buli shook his head, "Still, I'll go for the White Tiger. I do like to have good-looking pets with me."

Zhang Yaoyang felt a stab of pain upon hearing this. As a Beast Tamer with a love for pets, he actually really wanted to capture that White Tiger. It had been quite difficult to figure out the task process, and he hadn't had the chance to capture it yet; it looked like he would have to wait for the next respawn.

"Alright, then I'll tell you the process for this task. Just follow it, and you should be fine." As he spoke, Zhang Yaoyang selected a paper from a large stack of documents and handed it to Xiao Buli.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After a trip to the auction house to buy all the items needed for the task, half an hour later, Xiao Buli arrived at the foot of Black Wind Ridge.

The White Tiger wasn't something one could encounter just by chance, as it was exceedingly well-hidden. Only by using a special Mating Call Horn could one attract it, but this horn required completing a prerequisite task to obtain, and was not easily acquired.

Following the introduction in the task strategy, Xiao Buli went to a trading post located beneath Black Wind Ridge and found a fur merchant—Ge Qiugang, the Master Leatherworker.

Xiao Buli: "Master, hello, I'm about to go hunting in the mountains. I heard you need furs, perhaps we could cooperate?"

Ge Qiugang, the Master Leatherworker: "Speaking of which, I do need some furs. Then, please collect ten deer hides for me."

System Prompt: Task triggered—Collect Furs. Accept? Yes/No.

Xiao Buli chose to accept the task and headed up the mountain. Normally, this task would take one to two hours to complete, as deer are extremely fast runners and very timid. Killing them wouldn't be easy without an effective method of attack, but Xiao Buli was well-prepared.

After wandering the mountain for a few minutes, he took out ten deer hides purchased from the auction house and returned to Ge Qiugang.

Ge Qiugang was surprised as he received the hides, "I didn't expect you to finish so quickly. This is truly astonishing. Your hunting skills must be good. In that case, perhaps we can engage in a deeper cooperation. I now need ten boar hides, can you get them for me?"

System Prompt: Task triggered—More Furs. Accept? Yes/No.

Xiao Buli naturally chose yes.

After another quick trip up the mountain, ten minutes later, he returned to the trading post and handed over ten boar hides to Ge Qiugang, who was again surprised.

Ge Qiugang, the Master Leatherworker: "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Who would have thought you're so capable, to have gotten the boar hides I needed so quickly."

Xiao Buli hurriedly typed: "Of course, I am an experienced hunter, capable of hunting down even the strongest of beasts." These words were a requirement from the task strategy.

Ge Qiugang, the Master Leatherworker: "I have one last task that I would like to ask of you. If you can complete it for me, I'm willing to give you one of my leatherworking blueprints. What do you say? However, this task is very challenging, and it may even endanger your life. I would understand if you're unwilling to accept it."

Xiao Buli said, "Oh? What task might that be?"

Ge Qiugang, the Master Leatherworker: "There is a White Tiger living in a cave at the peak of Black Wind Ridge. Its fur is extremely rare, and I very much desire it. Could you help me obtain it?"

System Prompt: Task triggered—A Unique Hide. Accept? Yes/No.

Xiao Buli naturally chose to accept.

"Hahaha, leave this task to me, just you watch." While he said this, he didn't leave immediately but made a show of turning as if he was about to walk away.

As expected, Ge Qiugang quickly called out, "Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry to leave. That White Tiger is cunning by nature, like a ghost, hard for most to find. But if you blow this Female Tiger's Horn, you can summon it down. Please, take this and I entrust this task to you this time."

System Prompt: You have obtained 'Female Tiger's Horn'.

Having the task strategy and information made things so much smoother; this task was a breeze. One could imagine that without this strategy and the refresh coordinates, capturing a pet like this would nearly be an impossible task, unless one were incredibly lucky to stumble upon it by chance.

As he walked toward the mountainside, Xiao Buli thought about his plans. Black Wind Ridge was bordered by steep cliffs on three sides, and the only approachable side was a gentle forested area. He followed a small path through the woods uphill and, for safety's sake, did not forget to summon his Talisman Soldier.
