Chapter 18 Entrance Exam Begin 4
He immediately accepted the task.
Kamil Lon sent Ethen Cole the location of the Cow Beast's lair via the locator device.
Afterward, he bid farewell to Fairuz Kin.
The Cow Beast's lair was beyond their capabilities to explore.
It would be more reliable for them to hunt some lower level magical beasts.
Ethen Cole held the Blux in one hand and the locator device in the other, following the coordinates displayed to guide his way toward the Cow Beast's lair.
Five minutes later, Ethen Cole arrived at the Cow Beast's lair.
The Cow Beast's lair was located in a river valley.
At that moment, Ethen Cole looked from a distance and saw that there were indeed over 20 Cow Beasts resting in the valley.
They were all very lazy, leisurely enjoying the sunshine, swatting away mosquitoes with their tails.
Silently sneaking behind a nearby large tree, Ethen Cole patted the Blux and issued the attack command.
"Blux, activate the skill [Realistic's Dance]!"
Realistic's Dance is an upgraded version of [illusion walk], a powerful stunning and hallucinatory attack capable of imposing mental control on up to 30 targets at once.
Blux gently arched its back and stepped forward with an elegant and graceful stride.
At that moment, the Giant Cows fell into an illusion.
They felt that what was approaching was not a Blue Riolux, but a Realistic Giant Cow dancing with elegance and charm.
He had flowing hair, a chiseled face, and mesmerizing emerald green eyes.
Especially those eyes, with just one glance, they could captivate anyone.
In an instant, all 26 Giant Cows present were stunned.
Their gazes became unfocused, and their movements sluggish.
The Realistic's dance steps were successfully executed!
Ethen Cole was overjoyed.
The power of psychic martial arts lies in this very aspect, once executed successfully, the target becomes a lamb to the slaughter.
However, Blux, being just a black iron level battle pet, still lacked the ability to activate two skills simultaneously.
While performing Skill 2, the Realistic's Dance, Blux couldn't attack.
Therefore, the responsibility of killing the Giant Cows fell upon Ethen Cole.
Ethen Cole's extensive knowledge of battle pets told him exactly what he needed to do at that moment.
The opportunity Blux created for him could not be wasted.
Swish!
Ethen Cole drew the dagger from his waist and swiftly charged towards the herd of Giant Cows.
He intended to personally end the lives of these bulls.
This dagger was a gift to Ethen Cole from Uncle Yazali.
According to Uncle Yazali's estimation, this dagger was an excellent military product from before the resurgence of spiritual energy, with nickel as a component in its alloy.
Nickel, capable of slicing iron like mud.
At this moment, facing the Giant Cows with skin as hard as iron, Ethen Cole could smoothly cut through their defenses.
Squelch!
Blood gushed out, and the first Giant Cow fell dead!
Immediately, Ethen Cole approached the second Giant Cow and delivered another stab.
The second Giant Cow fell dead!
Ethen Cole swiftly and continuously struck, each blow taking down a Giant Cow.
Before long, all 26 Giant Cows lay dead under Ethen Cole's blade.
"Blux, you've worked hard."
Once all the Giant Cows were dead, Ethen Cole called Blux back.
Blux's mental control consumed a significant amount of soul power, leaving it somewhat weakened at this moment.
Ethen Cole quickly picked up a few magic cores from the Giant Cows, combined them with some herbs, and fed them to Blux.
He then collected the remaining magic cores.
According to the competition rules, candidates only needed to submit half of the magic cores obtained from killing magical beasts to the exam center at the end of the assessment.
The remaining half would belong to the candidates themselves.
Therefore, Ethen Cole would not let go of any of the money he had obtained.
He collected all the magic cores from the Giant Cows.
Excluding the ones Blux consumed, there were still 16 left.
By killing the Giant Cows, Ethen Cole also completed the system task.
"Beep! Reward of 2000 growth points has been issued. Please check, host."
In the system storage, Ethen Cole saw a growth points treasure chest emitting a golden glow.
The top right corner of the chest displayed "Growth Points: 2000."
Ethen Cole, holding Blux, went to a nearby tree hollow.
At this time, after consuming several Giant Cow magic cores, Blux's growth points had reached 1720.
Without hesitation, Ethen Cole used the 2000 growth points rewarded by the system on Blux.
Blux successfully upgraded.

After reading the attribute panel of the Blux, Ethen Cole excitedly waved his fist.
