Task and Rot-Tooth Beast

This golden light projection was the secondary system of Dasheng, who had not been brought along this time. He had been arranged by Huang Wuye to remain at the Wuye Residence to continue his cultivation.

"Boss, the mission briefing has been received."

"Oh, read it to me."

"Prince Wu Ye, greetings! According to statistics, there are thirteen thousand indigenous species on Giant Wood Planet, and among such a vast number of races, there are inevitably some vicious slaughterers.

They constantly create carnage for no reason, which severely disrupts the biological balance.

This poses a threat to the precious beasts we are farming, which causes us great concern.

Therefore, your mission this time is to eradicate these annoying little things. During the mission, you are only permitted to use your own strength. The use of energy weapons, plant-based life forms, or other auxiliary life forms is strictly prohibited.

According to the data, there are over one hundred and twenty types of creatures that need to be cleared. Among them, there are over one million at the Universe level and about thirty thousand at the Domain Lord level.

We will provide rewards based on your mission completion rate.

One Universe-level Tier 1 monster is equivalent to one million points, a Universe-level Tier 2 monster is two million points, a Universe-level Tier 3 monster is three million points, and so on.

A Domain Lord-level Tier 1 monster is worth one hundred million points, with the calculation method remaining the same. If you can complete the mission one hundred percent, you may also propose one condition to the family."

Huang Wuye took a deep breath. A grand gesture! Truly a grand gesture! The family had found him a natural training ground.

He could see it clearly now: the herding was a facade; this hunting mission was the core of the assignment.

"Boss, there is also a file containing the hunting list here. Judging by this, I fear this mission will not be simple." After finishing the mission briefing, Dasheng transmitted another file to Huang Wuye.

After receiving the data from Dasheng, Huang Wuye could not help but click his tongue. It seemed this was destined to be a protracted war.

At this moment, his strength as a fighter was at the Universe-level Tier 1, with a force output of thirty-eight times. His level as a Spirit Reader was Universe-level Tier 3, capable of perfectly controlling over two hundred portions of spiritual force.

Furthermore, after this period of cultivation, his Fire Origin Law had reached minor completion, and his Space Origin Law had also reached minor completion. Coupled with his ten-fold gene intensity and the powerful recovery ability and physical toughness brought by the Undying Flame Body, ordinary Universe-level threats no longer posed a danger to him.

However, these one million Universe-level monsters were different; each had experienced countless life-and-death struggles and possessed formidable combat experience. Moreover, having lived long enough, some monstrous existences were bound to have emerged.

"With my current strength, I am enough to roam freely among the Universe-level, and perhaps even hunt some Domain Lord-level monsters. But against top-tier Domain Lord-level existences, I fear I can only hope to save my own life," Huang Wuye calculated while reviewing the information on the hunting list.

"However, this is a perfect opportunity. I can enrich my combat experience by engaging with different monsters.

I can complete the mission while sparring with these beasts.

It is not just the species required by the mission; I can engage with other monsters as well, provided I do not take their lives.

At the same time, I can collect genetic material to use as raw materials for my innate secret technique, Life Analysis. I have never seen these races on any collection lists. It seems necessary to visit some life planets in the future."

Huang Wuye instructed Dasheng to apply to the family for specialized Universe-level nutrient solution. He prepared to improve his level while undergoing his training.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Heavy and urgent footsteps echoed from the distance, and the earth itself seemed to let out a groan.

Looking toward the source of the sound, a massive creature came into view.

This was a giant beast, considered top-tier even on the giant-filled Giant Wood Planet.

Its entire body was covered in green branches, standing ten thousand meters tall and tens of thousands of meters long. Its four thick hooves were like towering ancient trees, leaving massive craters in the ground with every stride. Two curved horns stood slightly upright on its head, and as its tail lashed left and right, countless giant trees were knocked down.

If viewed from high above, one would find it resembled a giant buffalo, magnified countless times and covered in vines.

This was a special species on Giant Wood Planet, the Vine Wood Ox. This particular one was at the Domain Lord Tier 2.

A green light flickered on its body, and a green phantom projection covered it. It was currently fleeing, for a pack of predators was in pursuit behind it.

These were a group of vicious thugs. Their bodies were not overly tall, mostly only about three hundred meters in length, but they were slender and covered in scales, with intricate patterns etched upon them.

Their four limbs were sturdy and powerful, and a cold, chilling light radiated from their sharp claws. With a single swipe, giant trees comparable to C-grade alloy were shredded like tofu.

Two fangs protruded from their mouths, and droplets of liquid dripped from them, sizzling into white smoke upon hitting the ground.

These predators were called Rot-Tooth Beasts. There were about three hundred of them, and at this moment, they were firing moon-white attacks from their mouths toward the Vine Wood Ox.

The dense barrage of attacks struck the phantom projection on the Vine Wood Ox's body, creating a cacophony of clanging sounds.

Most of the attacks shattered upon impact, while some pierced through, grazing the vines on its body, leaving only a dozen or so wounds of varying depths on the Vine Wood Ox.

"Moo!" The Vine Wood Ox let out a roar of pain and anger, lashing out with its thick tail and sending several Rot-Tooth Beasts flying into the distance. Judging by their state, they were unlikely to survive.

But this movement slowed its already sluggish speed even further. Among the remaining Rot-Tooth Beasts, one nearly a thousand meters long saw its chance. With a roar, the muscles on its legs bulged, and it leaped toward the Vine Wood Ox.

"Whoosh!" A sound of Void Breaker rang out as it reached the side of the Vine Wood Ox. Without hesitation, it bit down, its two long fangs sinking deep into the beast's body, tearing away a massive chunk of flesh.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Following that, a series of sounds pierced the air as more shadows lunged onto the Vine Wood Ox. In an instant, the three hundred-plus Rot-Tooth Beasts swarmed over it.

After one last mournful bellow, the Vine Wood Ox fell silent. Only the sounds of feasting remained in the area.

Before long, nothing was left but a skeleton.

At this moment, a figure arrived late—it was Huang Wuye.

He had long, fiery red hair dancing in the wind, wearing white robes and stepping on a snow-white spear as he flew toward them.

"The gravity on this Giant Wood Planet is too intense; my flight speed is far too slow, even while using spiritual force to travel. Fortunately, this pack of Rot-Tooth Beasts hasn't gone far, saving me the trouble of continuing the chase." It turned out Huang Wuye had discovered the situation earlier, but had been slowed down by the immense gravity.

This pack of Rot-Tooth Beasts was one of the species on his hunting list, though these were only a small portion.

"The corrosive nature of the Rot-Tooth Beasts' saliva is truly potent, and their speed is not slow either. It's a pity for this Domain Lord-level Vine Wood Ox; its size is too great, and its speed is too restricted on this Giant Wood Planet, otherwise it wouldn't have ended so miserably." The Vine Wood Ox was too large, suffering heavy restrictions on this planet, which severely hampered its flight speed. Since the Rot-Tooth Beasts excelled in speed, the ox could neither fight them off nor outrun them.
