Monster Logger - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Forced to Become Big Boss’ Little Brother

After flying for a while, Qin Ming could no longer see the mammoth.

It was not until the sun set that a lake appeared in the forest below. The White Crane brought him down.

The lake in front of him was very big. It was oval, and at least 10 miles in diameter.

The lake was blue and bottomless.

On the calm lake, spots of fluorescent light slowly floated into the sky until they were more than 30 feet high.

When he was still flying in the sky, Qin Ming thought that the fluorescence was similar to the phenomenon of fireflies flying.

Now that he was observing it up close, he realized that the fluorescent lights came from this lake.

Standing on the edge of the lake, he looked down.

There were rays of blue light in the water, swimming nimbly like slender water snakes.

The fluorescent light was the halo produced by the blue light swimming in the water.

Such a phenomenon made Qin Ming know that the lake in front of him was clearly extraordinary. It was impossible for it to be as simple as an ordinary lake.

After the white crane landed, it first preened its feathers unhurriedly before calling out to Qin Ming, indicating for him to stay away from the lake. Looks like this White Crane came here for this lake, Qin Ming couldn’t help but think to himself when he saw this. At the same time, he retreated obediently.

It seemed like the White Crane was about to do something. He wanted to see what it was doing here.

The next moment, the White Crane flapped its wings and flew above the lake.

It circled the lake a few times, seeming to be looking for something.

A moment later, it suddenly shot the white fluorescent light that he had seen previously into the lake below.

The shocking destructive power he’d expected did not appear. The white light flashed and disappeared.

Just as Qin Ming was confused, ripples began to appear on the originally calm lake.

Immediately after, the surface of the water began to churn like boiling water. A large number of bubbles emerged from the bottom of the lake. This commotion was not small.

Bong!

A huge fish nearly two meters long suddenly emerged from the bottom of the lake. It jumped into the air and kept twitching its tail.

This big fish was dark blue and emitted cold air.

The moment it appeared, it was blown to the ground by a gust of wind from the White Crane.

After seeing this big fish, Qin Ming suddenly understood why the White Crane brought him along

The big fish attempted to jump back into the lake when Qin Ming pounced on it immediately, wanting to catch it.

However, he had underestimated the power of this fish.

He thought that after leaving the water, the big fish would be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Unexpectedly, after seeing Qin Ming pounce at it, it suddenly swung its tail and slapped Qin Ming.

Qin Ming cried out in pain as he was sent flying

Name: None

Spirit Monster: Nether Fish

Combat strength score: Unknown

Growth Potential: Unknown

It was no wonder that Qin Ming was sent flying. This was another spirit monster with unknown combat strength.

Now, he more or less understood that these spirit monsters whose combat strength score he couldn’t detect were most likely much stronger than him.

He could still detect a Level Two spirit monster. From the looks of it, this Nether Fish was at least a Level Three spirit monster. It was two levels higher than his combat strength.

Seeing that the Nether Fish was about to jump back into the lake, the white crane flapped its wings and a gust of wind hit the fish, knocking it back.

With the same unknown combat strength, the Nether Fish had no way of resisting the White Crane.

In just a few moves, it was beaten to the ground.

The White Crane pointed at the fish and called out to Qin Ming.

As he had thought, the White Crane brought him along so that he could continue roasting fish for it.

Since it was the big shot’s request, Qin Ming naturally didn’t dare to say anything. He nodded obediently and walked towards this miserable Nether Fish.

Seeing that the Nether Fish was about to die, he immediately quickened his pace and went over to finish it off.

Just like that, this big fish with unknown combat strength died in the hands of a Level One spirit monster like him.

[Mission 1: Kill five high-grade Level One or above spirit monsters. Current Progress: 1/5] Indeed, such an attack was useful. He was the one who killed this big fish.

One of Mission 1’s hunting tasks had been completed. There were still four spirit monsters left.

All that was left was to roast this big fish.

Looking at the huge fish that was nearly two meters tall, he knew it was not so easy to roast it.

The White Crane stood on a boulder beside the lake and grooming its feathers. It did not seem to have any intention of helping.

Well, the grilled fish was all done by the underlings. The big shot only needed to be responsible for eating at the end.

Qin Ming didn’t delay and quickly gathered a large amount of wood. However, he didn’t find any fiery red long-stemmed plants that could be ignited by the lake.

He had no choice but to walk a little further to gather them.

During this time, he entertained thoughts of running away, but when he thought of the White Crane’s divine power, he quickly dismissed the idea.

A few kilometers from the lake, he finally found a few fireweeds.

When he returned to the lake, the White Crane was still standing on the huge rock with a nonchalant look, as if it didn’t care about Qin Ming walking away.

He lit a fire and built a simple grill with a few sturdy sticks. He placed the big fish on the grill to roast.

However, to Qin Ming’s surprise, even though this big fish was already dead, it emanated a large amount of cold air from its body, so the fire could not roast it at all. The flames could not even get near the big fish’s carcass.

At the side, the White Crane seemed unable to stand it. It flapped its wings gently, causing a breeze to blow at the bottom of the fire.

The fire suddenly rose and became exceptionally strong. Qin Ming, who was close to the fire at first, was so frightened that he backed off after almost getting his hair burned.

The rising flames pushed out the drifting cold air, and sizzling sounds could be heard as the fish got roasted.

If Qin Ming activated his spiritual perception, he would be able to sense the special energy fluctuations contained in the flames.

However, at this moment, he felt that the temperature of the flames had increased a lot after being fanned by the breeze summoned by the White Crane. He did not discover anything else.

From time to time, he would flip the fish on the grill so that it would not be completely charred.

With the help of the White Crane, this big fish was being roasted much faster than expected.

In less than half an hour, the fish skin was charred. A large amount of heat mixed with the fragrance of meat wafted out.

He used its claws to cut a few incisions on the surface, revealing the tender flesh inside. The fragrance that dissipated in the air became stronger.

The White Crane couldn’t hold it in anymore.

It loved fish. It even ate those ordinary fish that were not spirit monsters with relish. Now, it was drooling over this high-quality spirit fish when it smelled its fragrance.

Qin Ming called out a few times, indicating that it was almost done.
