Taming the Tigers
Éditeur: EndlessFantasy Translation
Once he reached Level 5, all of Su Ming's attributes had increased by 5 points.
His free attribute points had increased by 4 points, and he had also gained 4 free skill points.
Moreover, after he patiently did a few things with the giant python's corpse, a notification finally appeared.
[You have collected three yellow-patterned python scales.]
[You have collected snakeskin *1]
[You have collected snake gall *1]
[You have collected two snake fangs]
[Congratulations, you have unlocked the life skill, 'Collect'.]
…
[Collect]
[Level: 1 (0/1000)]
[Effect: Gathering efficiency +20%, gathering destruction rate-20% (the lower the destruction rate, the easier it is to collect perfect items).]
"Another life skill has been unlocked!"
Su Ming was delighted.
Every time a life skill was automatically unlocked, he would be able to accumulate a greater advantage in the later stages.
After thinking for a while, he allocated the four attribute points and the one point from his first login to the agility attribute.
This way, he could run faster and kill more monsters while time was frozen.
He did as he said. Once he organized his spoils of war, Su Ming began his journey of killing monsters.
Without the pressure of survival, Su Ming was no longer afraid and swaggered through the forest.
Along the way, his sharp eyes noticed many hidden monsters.
Under normal circumstances, with his current strength, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to provoke them. He would not even have the time to escape!
But now...
Deadly poisonous insect?
A forest python?
A pack of wolves?
It was all experience!
An hour later, he had reached Level 8.
His leveling speed was like a rocket!
"Let's rest for a while!"
Su Ming leaned against a big rock by the river and panted heavily.
His endurance had dropped to the warning line, and if he did not rest, he would faint from exhaustion.
Just now, he had already swept through a small area in front of him and killed many ferocious beasts and poisonous insects.
The stone spear he had made before had long been destroyed, so he made a new one.
After resting for ten minutes, his stamina returned to normal.
Su Ming did not rest for long. Time was money.
Who knew when the time freeze would end?
He would make use of this time to earn as much as he could and quickly level up.
When he thought of this, Su Ming walked along the river in another direction.
In front of him was a vast grassland, and his line of sight was extremely wide, allowing him to see very far.
The monsters on the grassland were clear at a glance.
Su Ming held the newly made stone spear and charged forward excitedly.
As he was killing, his gaze was attracted by a group of white beasts.
"White Tiger!"
Su Ming looked ahead.
A group of White Tigers was lying on the ground by the river in front of them. They did not fit in with the green grass around them.
Su Ming quickly closed in and counted. There were 13 White Tigers in total.
How fresh!
Su Ming sighed.
White Tigers usually lived alone and rarely gathered together in large groups.
But now, he could only benefit from it!
After killing all of them, he should be able to level up two or three more times!
Su Ming thought excitedly.
However, when he was less than five meters away from the White Tigers...
Su Ming had changed his mind about killing them!
Because Su Ming noticed that three words had appeared above the White Tigers' heads.
[Tamable]
This meant that he could tame this group of White Tigers for his own use.
Compared to letting them become a pool of experience, taming them to become a mount or guardian beast for his own use was a more sensible and better choice.
Of course, in this game, the probability of taming wild fierce beasts was not high.
It could even be said to be extremely low. If the taming failed, the tamer would suffer the counterattack of the ferocious beast and die easily.
Su Ming had seen this sort of situation far too many times.
However, when time and space stopped, Su Ming was not afraid of any backlash.
[Life skill: Taming unlocked!]
He took out the life skill book and found the page on taming. After spending three free skill points, he successfully unlocked it.
[Taming]
[Level: 1 (0/1000)]
[Description: A trade skill that can tame wild monsters. Very practical.]
[Effect: Can tame monsters within 20 levels higher than the user, and the success rate of taming will increase by 20%.]
After reading the skill's description, Su Ming checked the information on the White Tigers.
[White Tiger]
[Level: 25]
[HP: ???]
[Skill: ???]
Their levels were too high, and Su Ming could only see their names and levels.
But this was enough.
Now that he was level 8, he could completely tame them.
At that moment, Su Ming sized up the group of White Tigers and finally fixed his gaze on the largest White Tiger.
From the looks of it, he was the leader of this group of White Tigers.
"To capture the bandits, first capture the king. It's you!"
He walked over and used the taming skill on it.
In the next second, a notification appeared.
[Taming failed!]
It was within expectations!
Su Ming was not affected by this result at all.
The probability of taming wild monsters was low to begin with, not to mention that these White Tigers' levels were far higher than his, so the probability was even lower.
Su Ming then used the taming skill again.
[Taming failed!]
The notification appeared, and Su Ming waited for two seconds.
"Continue!"
[Taming failed!]
"Again!"
[Taming failed!]
...
He did not know how many times he had failed, but in any case, Su Ming had already become numb.
Finally, he heard different notifications.
[Congratulations on your successful taming!]
The moment the notifications stopped sounding, Su Ming did not even have time to be surprised...
He saw the White Tiger slowly open its eyes, revealing a domineering look.
However, when it saw Su Ming, its gaze became incredibly gentle.
Then, like an obedient kitten, he lowered his head and rubbed against his leg.
"It seems that it can move being tamed as my pet!"
Su Ming thought as he looked at the White Tiger.
"Since you're so obedient, I'll call you Da Bai!"
Su Ming said as he stroked its head.
"A Level 25 White Tiger, its stats should be very strong!"
He then looked at Da Bai's stats.
[White Tiger Leader]
[Level: 25]
[HP: 25000]
[Mana: 2000]
[ATK: 780]
[Defence: 190]
[Skills: Bite, pounce, tiger roar]
[Bloodline: Not awakened]
"F*ck! As expected of a Level 25 beast leader, its basic attributes are so high!"
"This attack and defense are dozens of times higher than mine, and his HP is hundreds of times higher!"
Su Ming was stunned.
If not for the time stop, he would not have had the chance to tame it.
"There are still 12 White Tigers to tame!"
Su Ming thought excitedly.
Although the rest of the monsters were not leader-level beasts, their stats were high and their levels were high.
As long as he tamed all of them, they would be of great help to him.
When he thought of this, Su Ming was about to use his taming skill on a different White Tiger.
Suddenly, Da Bai cupped his paws together.
"Eh? What are you doing?"
Su Ming looked over in confusion.
Roar!
Da Bai roared at the group of tigers.
The tiger's roar soared to the sky!
In an instant, the White Tigers woke up one by one.
What was going on?
Su Ming was completely dumbfounded!
But what happened next made him even more confused!
[Congratulations, under the White Tiger Leader's instructions, a White Tiger has taken the initiative to submit to you!]
[Congratulations, under the White Tiger Leader's instructions, a White Tiger has taken the initiative to submit to you!]
...
After a long while, Su Ming came back to his senses and a smile appeared on his face.
Could this be...
A miracle!
No!
The best thing that could ever happen to him!
...
At the same time.
The moment Su Ming successfully tamed the White Tiger Leader...
The world of the Origin of Humans: Horde suddenly changed.
The entire world was like a clockwork machine, and it began to work in that instant.
The time stop had disappeared!
