104 Luring a Great Chief
The first thing he needed to do was to locate Senture Forest on a map. After finding the location, he could seek for a Great Chief ranked monster.
Emile walked into the library and researched about the location by reading the books and asking the librarian.
The overlord of Senture Forest was the leopard. Leopards were everywhere. The leopards grow stronger the deeper a person enters the forest. The leopards deep in the forest had control of the elements.
Senture Forest was a popular location for people who wanted the hide of leopards. They could use these hides to create fancy looking clothes and other types of items.
Emile called Severn over. Emile also asked his party if they wanted to do a quest. He wanted to see if anyone was busy.
Time Walker rejected since he was trying to get his hidden class. Nimble Rod and FBS Fulcron wanted to join. The others ignored him or denied his request.
Emile shared his quest with them. Since he was the original bearer of the quest, he gained the most rewards. The others would each receive 15,000 experience if they completed the quest.
They had bought their space gems after Lily told them about the sky city. Everyone is his party had space gems, so traveling was now cost-effective.
Senture Forest was next to Aqua Fin City. It was a city next to a large body of water. This was a famous location to spend a summer since the beaches were fantastic.
Emile's small party used 10 silver coins each to travel to Aqua Fin City.
They asked around about Senture Forest. The locals told them the closest exit to Senture Forest. They walked towards the exit. They had small conversations as they walked.
"We should go to the beach at some point," FBS Fulcron said as he looked around at the females wearing bikinis.
"Whenever we are free and there aren't any important quests, then we'll go to the beach," Emile said as they walked.
"I can't wait to see the girls in bikinis," FBS Fulcron said with excitement. This got a laugh out of the party.
"We're out of the city, so now we walk for a few minutes and we'll see a large forest," Emile mumbled underneath his breath.
"What are you saying," FBS Fulcron asked as he stared at Emile with a curious tone.
"I'm mumbling the directions that I learned from researching," Emile said.
"Oh," FBS Fulcron said.
After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at Senture Forest.
"We should split up to cover more ground. Message the group if you find a Great Chief ranked boss," Emile said.
They began looking around the forest and sometimes entering the forest.
The group split up from each other and sought for a boss. The monsters in the forest were between level 10 and level 15 and outside of the forest had around level 11 monsters.
Emile walked around the forest killing the leopards whenever he saw one near the outskirts. His experience bar was inching closer to level 11. The phoenix boss gave a lot of experience to him and got him close to the level 11 barrier.
After about an hour of nothing interesting happening, Emile discovered a weird patch of dirt near the forest.
The location was different from the other locations that surrounded it. The ground was a layer of dirt without any sign of grass growing on it. Trees also didn't exist. The other locations had grass growing with one or two trees. The trees were rare on the outskirts of the forest.
Emile walked onto the dirt and looked around. Nothing was happening.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, the ground rumbled. Earthquake? Emile thought as he experienced the ground shake.
A giant worm leaped out of the dirt from underneath Emile's feet. It was planning on attacking Emile with its large sharp teeth, Emile reacted quickly and took out a wind gem and activated it on himself. The wind gem pushed him away from being eaten.
The worm rampaged around and attack Emile.
Emile identified the worm.
One identification process later. The worm was a Great Chief ranked boss that lived underneath the ground. The worms home was underneath the dirt layer. It got angry at Emile for standing on top of his home.
Emile began the process of luring the worm into the forest. He would wait for the worm to come close to him and launch an attack on him.
Emile would evade the attack and head closer to the woods. He messaged his party about finding a boss.
"All right, I guess we don't have to do anything," FBS Fulcron said.
Emile continued to lure the boss closer to him. The boss didn't seem to be aware that it was getting farther away from his home.
If he didn't have a quest, then he would have killed the boss. Soon, the boss entered the forest. Emile guided the boss to the deeper parts of the forest.
The game mentioned to him that the quest was complete.
"Hey Stella, I lured a Great Chief Ranked Worm into Senture Forest," Emile said.
"Hmm... Good job. I'm putting the mission up as an emergency mission. How does 'Great Chief ranked Worm is terrorizing the land surrounding Aqua Fin city. Its terror has now entered Senture Forest and is disturbing the peaceful wildlife. We require brave warriors to end the worms life.' sound? I think it sounds good as a description of the quest. Keep the worm in the forest. When the adventurers come to kill the worm pretend to be scared or terrified of the worm." Stella said with a smile.
"Okay," Emile said.
[Quest: Terror of the Worm]
[Objective: Pretend to fear the worm when the adventurers arrive]
[Difficulty: C]
[Comment: I hope you're a good actor]
[Progress: N/A]
[Time Limit: N/A]
[Penalty: Nothing]
[Reward: 10,000 experience]
Emile shared his quest with his party. He told them the goal of the quest.
The adventurers would arrive quickly since the quest that Stella assigned was an emergency quest.
Now, they needed to wait for the action. FBS Fulcron, Nimble Rod, and Severn met up with Emile who was dodging the worms attack.
"Hey guys," Emile said when he saw them in the distance. He was evading the boss without striking back.
"Hey, do you need a hand," Nimble Rod asked as he watched Emile dodge the attacks.
"No," After saying this, Emile had a thought, "wait... this could be a good way to teach you guys how to dodge!"
"You can practice dodging with the boss." Emile paused before telling them about the plan, "We need someone to scout the area in case the adventurers come, and the others will practice their dodging abilities," Emile said.
"Well, I'm always ready to try something new," FBS Fulcron said. He didn't have lots of experience with dodging. He could dodge some attacks if he was lucky to notice them.
"Severn could you be the first scout. One of these guys will switch with you later," Emile said to Severn.
"All right," Severn replied.
Severn walked away. He climbed a tree and scouted from the top of the tree. He would message Emile if he saw anyone walking towards the forest.
Emile taught them different ways of dodging attacks.
The easiest was moving to the left or moving to the right. The harder ones were moving backward, leaping into the air, and movement of the body without moving the feet.
Emile taught them efficient ways of moving and when to dodge.
Sometimes people dodge too early and cause themselves to get hit, or they dodge late and get hit. There was a fine line in between that required some practice to understand.
Emile would tell them about when the best dodging opportunity was. He would let them try to find the best way of dodging without his inputs.
These lessons went on for around one hour.
Severn switched out with Nimble Rod. Severn also learned some things from Emile's demonstration.
FBS Fulcron had the hardest time since he was an ordinary person. Emile used a lot of hands-on methods of teaching to teach FBS Fulcron about the art of movement. In one hour, he showed a decent amount of progress.
The others had their fair share of progress.
"Guys, there are ten people coming towards the woods with strong looking equipment," Nimble Rod messaged them.
"All right, that's enough of today's lesson. Get into position and prepare to have looks of shock and horror," Emile said as he took control of the bosses aggro.
Nimble Rod came back from his position and prepared for the adventurers to arrive.
