The territory of the Kheliphods [C14]

A couple minutes after Shu Himo killed the Kheliphod.

[Abrupt Quest: Escape the ire of the Kheliphod King!]

[When you killed the Kheliphod the system informed all the other Kheliphods in the area of you trespassing their territory. Escape before the Rank 4 Kheliphod King kills you all!]

[Quest Difficulty: C+]

[Quest Reward: 6 BS points.]

[Quest Failure Penitence: Death of the elite troops and you.]

Speechless, now Shu Himo finally knew why the system caused so many deaths due to Abrupt Quests. 'System, information about the Kheliphods?'

[Kheliphod: A Territorial brown spiderlike monster that lives in a hierarchy based on ranks. The ranks of the Kheliphod varies from 2 to 4 unless a special mutation occurs. Upon increasing the rank, the size of the Kheliphod increase.]

[Dantian Core Formation realm: divided into 9 strings, the first three are considered "early strings", from the 4th to the 6th they are considered "mid strings" and from the 7th to the 9th they are considered "late strings".]

[Monster Rank 3: a monster of a similar level of a cultivator at the early Strings of the Dantian Core Formation Realm.]

[Monster Rank 4: a monster of a similar level of a cultivator at the mid Strings of the Dantian Core Formation Realm.]

[Monster Rank 5: a monster of a similar level of a cultivator at the late Strings of the Dantian Core Formation Realm.]

'The elites are all at the 1st and 2nd string while the captain is at the 3rd string so if we meet the Rank 4 Kheliphod King all we can do is escape...'

"Hains, is better to make a deviation from the territory of the Kheliphods."

"Why?" Hains was surprised by the hurried tone of Shu Himo and asked, after all, seeing his earlier strength he believed that he could even come here without their help as long as he did not meet any Rank 3.

"We don't have any time, the-"

*Skeee*

"Another team of Kheliphods! They are more than 50 this time! There are three Rank 3 within this group!" The hurried report from one of the elites shook Hains immediately.

"What the Young Master was saying is that we are being targeted by them? It's fine! Rank 3 is still within what we can resist!" Saying that Hains was about to turn around to fight the attacking Kheliphods but seeing the look from Shu Himo he immediately had an extremely bad feeling.

"You think the Rank 4 Kheliphod King will personally attack us?" Hains said this time with a worried voice, and the answer was

*SKEEEE* *TUD* *TUD*

An intense scream together with many falling trees that could be heard in all the forest.

Not noticing Shu Himo who was extremely annoyed due to being interrupted two times Hains then said "Retreat! Ignore the Kheliphods and immediately run! Fast!" The voice of Hains entered in the ears of all the elites, but it was not needed: They were already running once heard the scream from a moment before.

*TUD* *TUD*

More trees falling could be heard, and finally, it could be possible to see the first leg of the Kheliphod King. Only the leg was higher than 3 meters, as high as small trees, and a moment later the Kheliphod King could be completely seen. An enormous Spider as big as a house! That's what every elite felt while seeing the Kheliphod King.

While running, Hains suddenly recalled that Shu Himo is still at Muscle Strengthening phase and panicked. While he possessed an incredible combat ability that let him overcome multiple phases of difference with the enemy, most cultivators at lower realm feel a pressuring fear upon seeing an enemy of higher realms, it was the same for himself when he met a Nascent Soul realm expert time ago.

Looking back and failing to locate Shu Himo he panicked even more and was about to head back to search for him at the risk of his life when "What are you so worried about Hains?" He heard the voice of a nonchalant young child that was running faster than him, seemingly bored and uncaring of the enormous Rank 4 behind him. Speechless, he felt his common-sense being something completely useless when in front of this monsterlike child.

Shu Himo, in fact, was pretty relaxed about this quest, while a rank 4 compared to himself was now an unbeatable enemy he still had [Hopper] to escape safely and anyway, compared to the Dark King Dragon this Kheliphod King may as well just be an oversized pet. Also seeing that every elite was fast enough to escape from the Kheliphod King he did not have to worry about losing anyone (Being of higher cultivation doesn't mean be necessarily faster, the Kheliphod King is in fact, as fast as some Rank 2 monsters based on speed.). Said all this, it's only normal that he would have a calm look on his face, not bothering at all of the Kheliphod King, at least until he heard the nonsense from the system.

[User successfully destroyed the common-sense of a person!]

[You gained an achievement: The common-sense Killer]

[You obtained one BS point!]

[You now have 34 BS points!]

[If you want to check your achievements, say the command 'Achievement' or use the supposed normal way of just thinking about it!]

Hearing this new nonsense from the system he finally knew that he respected the 7th rule of the MC way: 'Common-sense is an enemy!', Knowing that he saved one of his allies from the limits of the common-sense and obtained a free BS point he had a smile on his face.

On the other hand, Heins who just saw the smile of Shu Himo while getting chased by a Rank 4 monster started to question himself on the meaning of his life, getting chased fearing a Rank 4 monster while his young master at 6 years old was having fun getting chased as if he was out here to play. Where is the justice in this world? Why is this so unfair? Multiple questions started to go in the mind of the captain of the 'elites'.

A couple of minutes later.

[You successfully escaped from the Territory of the Kheliphods!]

[Quest Success: Escape the ire of the Kheliphod King!]

[Quest Difficulty: C+]

[Quest Reward: 6 BS points!]

[You now have 40 BS points!]

Seeing that they were finally out of the territory of the Kheliphods and that the Kheliphod King was looking toward Shu Himo extremely annoyed but still going back, the elites all sighed in relief, they then proceeded to rest for a bit and then started going again toward the City of Arsia.
