Chapter 46: Monster Hunting

"Monster Hunting?" Shi Fan's interest was piqued. Monster Hunting is a very common practice of finding out who's better in fields. Although it cannot prove the individual strength of players to other players their ability to cope up alone during monster hunting is a good factor of a better VRMMO player.

"What category?" Shi Fan asked in a serious yet happy tone. "Fast Clear? Highest kills?

"Highest kills of course. As per tradition, you'll set the location" Yuu Si confidently replied. As her class, the Spellcaster is the class that boasts the highest amount of AOE skills in their arsenals.

"Hmmm...master what's a good location for a high kill monster hunting?" Shi Fan asked his master which is currently turning his flaming body upside down.

"The Owl Forest or the Lagranis Lair. Although the Owl Forest is much better suited to your class. The Lagranis Lair is closer to the secret treasure I mentioned." Quan Shi continued turning his body upside down over and over again

"Okay, The location will be at the Lagranis Lair." Shi Fan rejoiced. He didn't even bother to choose between the two. Secret treasure equals to money after all.

"Lagranis Lair? Deal" Yuu Si even smiled further. The mobs there are usually packed and the map's level reaches only at Level 25. With her player level of 32, she can leave Shi Fan in the dust with her skills.

Shi Fan is still looking at where Lagranis Lair is located in his system map when a system ping captured his attention.

[System] Side Quest: 2 Star-Rank (Lagranis of the Depths) Obtained.

Objectives:

Kill Lagranis (0/1)

Kill Lizardians(0/10000)

"Who gave me such a quest?" Shi Fan was confused. He didn't talk to a single NPC before he received such a prompt so it's impossible for him to obtain a quest.

"Of course I did that." Quan Shi's burning body still turning upside down like a fool.

"You can also give a quest?" Shi Fan was shocked. He didn't even hear once of a player obtaining quest from anywhere.

"Of course I can. Who do you think gave you your main storyline quest? I can even make a 5-Star Legendary Quest for you right here right now." Quan Shi harrumphed. As a former Emperor, he knows everything the game has to offer. He even knows the secrets that even the current developers have no knowledge of.

Shi Fan was very shocked by what he just heard. His master which is like a guide to him is little by little turning into a system cheater every time he found out something about him.

Legendary Quests are rarer to find than finding Legendary Items and yet his master could boast that he could create a Legendary quest just like that?

"Are you crazy?" Shi Fan shouted in anger.

"Of course I'm not crazy" Quan Shi also retorted in anger as his flame flickered brightly as being thrown into gasoline.

"Seriously? Give me more then." Shi Fan urged his master to give him more freebies.

"No." Quan Shi flatly said.

....

"Then shall we go?" Yuu Si signaled for both of them to get out of the room. The Lagranis Lair is located east of the Empador Town. The place which is mostly swamps is home to countless herbs. It is home to lizard monsters that serve their leader Lagranis.

The group inside the room swiftly ran outside which attracted other adventurer's attention. Of course, Diyo being overpowered among the bunch reach earlier while the others still took 30 minutes to arrive at their destination.

Lagranis Lair

Average Level:25

Mana Density:80%

PvP: Allowed

PvE: Allowed

Weekly Bosses: Lagranis

Weekly Bosses are like Boss monsters in the field except they appear at set intervals. They could only be found inside their own territory, unlike other normal bosses which could leave their own map.

"You're here" Diyo sat on a tall stone on the site near a cliff that overlooks the whole swamp. Diyo continued. "Welcome to Lagranis Lair,"

The group of six slowly walked towards the site and was shocked by the sight. There are at least 6000 monsters roaming aboveground. As Lizardians which is the inhabitants of the map mostly swim underground most of the time. Which means there are more underwater.

Diyo pulled out a leather skin parchment and a quill with ink as he wrote something on it. After a minute or so he showed it to the group especially Shi Fan and Yuu Si.

"Sign here. This is Contract Duel paper." Diyo smiled as he gave it to Shi Fan. Contract Duel is like giving a challenge to players in terms of quests the difference however is that there are no system rewards. This will make it easier for the writer of the contract duel to tract the progress of the duel.

After reading the conditions and find nothing wrong with it both of them signed as the paper turned into a golden light and entered Diyo, Shi Fan's and Yuu Si's body.

[System] Contract Duel Initiated. Lizardman Killed:0 30 Minutes Duel Timer

After finding no faults both of them immediately leaped into the swamp without a second thought.

.....

In a place under the Lagranis Lair

"Hmm?" a cold yet fearful voice which is sitting in a throne made of bones spoke.

"Why do I feel a strange presence in the swamp"

"It must be adventurers sir." one of its assistants replied to his master.

"No. It's much different. It's more powerful than all of the adventurer which came here before." the cold voice continued speaking.

"Stop joking sir, you're making us all jittery here" his assistant began feeling chills in their bodies. If his master is right the presence he just felt is much more powerful than the strongest adventurer that once came here. And that said adventurer is Rank 9!
