Boss Monster Chat Group - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 – Kingsnake Pet

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Indeed, Su Mo knew where the pet was—he had received information from the Boss monster chat group about the location of this sly pet.

It was a Green Kingsnake, and according to the Beast Tamer, her greatest strength was sneaking through the jungle. As long as she did not attack, players would not discover her even if they passed right by her.

As such, countless people flooded into the jungle listed in the quest and left no rock unturned.

It was said that around 4,000 people accepted this quest; after all, a Taming Scroll was worth a large sum of money, at least over 100 gold coins. Perhaps they would get lucky.

However, even though so many people searched for many days, they were unable to find anything.

The game progressed quite quickly in the early stages, so since thousands of people could not find anything, no one continued to waste time here. As such, Partridge Camp, which had been flooded with people, was soon left empty, and this quest was thought to be a bugged quest that was impossible to clear.

New World had been developed enough to release before the war, but after the war began, all entertainment went into stagnation.

The game company was rich and overbearing and decided to expand the game, and it created an incredibly big and complicated world.

No other game could be developed for such a long time.

As such, after New World was re-listed, everyone found that there were all kinds of strange things, which could be called easter eggs, puzzles, or pranks.

However, the Escaped Pet was not a prank; it really was possible to complete.

There was something wrong with this sly snake; she did not use her natural camouflage to hide in the jungle and instead hid in the mountain streams like a loach.

Su Mo once again thanked the Boss monster chat group for its existence, or else he would not be able to find this pet even if he tired himself to death.

Since this was a quest, Su Mo naturally had to go and find the old Beast Tamer Partridge to accept the quest.

Partridge Camp was a camp built by the old Beast Tamer himself. The surrounding scenery was quite beautiful, and because there were not any villages or shops nearby, it became a good supply station. The old Beast Tamer was quite strong, and any monsters that came would quickly die, so players did not have to worry about their safety here.

The old Beast Tamer had a gray-white beard and a shiny head, which glowed under the sunlight.

He was using a small knife to whittle a wood stick and seemed to be making arrows. He could also be just whittling out of boredom.

“Hello, I am a Ranger and I heard that a pet of yours escaped. Has she escaped?” Su Mo asked.

“Are you mocking me?” The old Beast Tamer looked up, revealing a pair of furious eyes.

“Eh?” What was this development?

“I don’t need you to remind me that my pet escaped. I don’t need you to emphasize that she hasn’t been found after all this time either. If you don’t have anything to do then piss off; don’t bother me enjoying the sun.”

“Old sir, I think I can help you!”

This was a western-style game, and Su Mo had read many western fantasy novels, so he tried to mimic them, but it was a pity that this did not work.

“There have already been 4,653 idiots who said similar things. You’re the 4,654th one.”

“I know where your pet is.”

“You know if you really are an idi- wait, what did you say?”

“If I say it again, I’ll be accused of trying to fill the word count.”

“Where is she?”

“Why would I tell you? Are you going to give me the quest? It just takes a single sentence.”

“Goddamn, looks like you really know where she is, but I can’t bear for you to kill her. Can you bring her back alive?” The old Beast Tamer scratched his bald head, causing the last few hairs to fall off.

“I am confident that I can defeat her but bring her back? You’re overestimating me.”

He had never had to capture a Boss for an NPC before!

“I have a Sealing Scroll here. As long as you can weaken her, you can seal her. That way, you can bring her back. Remember, you can only use it when she’s on critically low health, and you only have one chance. The seal lasts for ten minutes, so you’d best find a fast mount.”

The old Beast Tamer even had something like this; was he rich or something?

However, Su Mo continued to shake his head. He blinked and smiled as he said, “I heard that when this pet left, it stole some of your things, including a Taming Scroll. Don’t look at me like that, you used the Taming Scroll to attract people before.”

“That was just a bait, it doesn’t actually exist.”

“Forget it, I’ll go find some people to kill her then. If it drops, then I’ll make a profit; if it doesn’t, then I’ll just count myself as unlucky.”

“Hero!” The old Beast Tamer stood up quickly and fumbled about in his bag before taking out a scroll, “Look, here’s the Taming Scroll. If you can bring back my pet alive, I’ll give it to you.”

“That’s how it should be. Alright, give me the quest and let the System God witness this.” Su Mo nodded in satisfaction.

In actuality, if he killed the pet, he would earn even more. Not only would he get the Taming Scroll, but there would also be Boss drops and Boss EXP. This Boss was Level 20, and it would give Su Mo a decent amount of EXP.

However, Su Mo was not someone who prioritized profits.

He was happy to help the old Beast Tamer bring his pet back instead of killing it, even if the reward was not the same.

The old Beast Tamer frustratedly gave the quest, just like what he had said, which was to bring back Green Kingsnake Marsha within a certain amount of time. If she was still alive when she arrived in the old Beast Tamer’s, then Su Mo would obtain a Taming Scroll as a bonus reward.

Su Mo first made some preparations.

Even though it was only a Level 20 Green Kingsnake and still a juvenile, it was a poisonous snake. If Su Mo fought it one on one, he would die horribly if he did not make preparations.

Su Mo endured the pain of spending a few gold coins to come to Nosa Kingdom’s capital city, Lota Royal City.

Nosa Kingdom was one of the Eastern Continent’s three Kingdoms, which were Nosa Kingdom, Kelo Kingdom, and the Long Island Federation. Nosa was a kingdom that was predominantly occupied by Magicians and the king was a Grand Magister. Kelo was a kingdom predominantly guided by the Papacy, and the king needed to receive the acknowledgement of the Papacy.

The Long Island Federation was relatively small and was quite liberal, and most of its territory was made up of islands.

‘Long’ in the Eastern Continent’s language meant ‘big,’ and ‘island’ was pronounced the same as ‘bird,’ so players often called the Long Island Federation Big Bird Kingdom.

These three Kingdoms were formed from the split of the Sartre Empire.

In earlier times, a Kingdom had unified the Eastern Continent—the Sartre Empire. The rise of the Sartre Empire had come through the Papacy leading believers to overthrow the Evil Magicians.

After taking control of the continent, the Papacy started to kill all Magicians.

After the demon blood appeared, as well as disturbances from other races, they had to turn their attention to the outside.

Magic Apprentice Sagra had been born in this kind of environment. He did not want to become a Magician, and he instead wanted to become a cool Bishop. However, it was a pity that his parents were both Magicians, and they were killed by the Papacy, causing Sagra to have irreconcilable hatred with them.
