Chapter 14: kill, pet egg

Skillfully, Li Jun used three consecutive strikes of the Wind-Cutting Cyclone, reducing the defense of the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla to 51.

Li Jun only needed a few more strikes, perhaps four or five, to effectively finish off the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla!

After its defense was shattered, the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla became enraged.

It stood up, fiercely pounding its chest, releasing a tremendous roar that pierced the ears!

"Grrrr!!"

Even as a deafening sonic wave rushed forth, Li Jun did not bother to cover his ears, advancing towards the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla once again!

This time, Li Jun activated his secret shadow combat skill!

In an instant, all the weaknesses in the body of the Obsidian-Furred Gorilla were revealed.

Li Jun unleashed two sharp Wind-Cutting Cyclones and launched a fierce attack on the body of the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla.

"Zack!"

Bright red blood flowed, staining the entire cave.

Intense pain overwhelmed the mind of the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla.

The Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla lost its sanity and began to flail its fists wildly!

Li Jun dodged them skillfully and continued his assault!

Finally, the health of the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla began to wane. Li Jun extended his hands and precisely cut the ribs of the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla!

With another cyclone attack, all the internal organs of the Giant Gorilla were destroyed!

The Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla fell heavily to the ground, defeated.

Li Jun wiped the fresh blood off his body and looked at the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla whose skin had turned to stone after its death.

This was his way of obtaining the evolution material.

Li Jun knelt on the ground, took out a dagger, and began to cut the skin of the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla.

[Congratulations on obtaining the ancient obsidian stones.]

[Currently, you can evolve the Mountain Whirlwind path. Do you wish to evolve?]

Li Jun chose "no" once again, as his ultimate ambition was the Dragon's Breath.

Having acquired the ancient obsidian stones, he now had two of the required components.

He was only two components away from achieving the Dragon's Breath evolution.

At that moment, Li Jun glanced at the spot where the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla had been resting.

There, he found an egg shining like the sun.

Li Jun immediately realized it was a monster egg that could hatch.

Although the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla was a mammal, in this world, all fierce monsters laid eggs.

Li Jun collected the monster egg and stored it in his storage bracelet.

With the egg hatched, he would have his own familiar.

When the time came, it would be easier for him to pursue his quest with his monster familiar by his side.

As he pondered this, drowsiness overcame Li Jun.

It was late, and it was time to sleep.

Li Jun decided to lie down and rest. This was the boss's lair and was supposed to be safe from smaller monsters.

It was also unlikely that other cultivators would find this place.

Therefore, it was suitable for him to rest here.

Li Jun lay on the ground and slowly fell asleep amidst the smell of blood around him.

After one night, Li Jun woke up in the dark cave the next day.

The first thing he did upon waking was to turn on his flashlight.

After packing his belongings, Li Jun followed the passage and prepared to leave the place.

He checked his storage bracelet and noticed that he had killed more than thirty rock serpent monsters.

However, he was sure to encounter the remaining rock serpents he needed along the way and make up for the number he lacked.

Li Jun followed the passage and reached the cave before it.

Li Jun was following the echo of faint footsteps ahead.

With measured steps, Li Jun advanced and lit his flashlight. As expected, a figure appeared before him.

"Hello, has someone actually reached this depth already?"

The person shielded their eyes with their hand from the light and asked in surprise.

"Who are you?" Li Jun inquired.

"I am Xiang, an information broker. I'm the one who disseminated the information about the boss's weakness here."

"I walked all night and eliminated all the wrong guesses. It took a lot of effort to get here."

Xiang sized up Li Jun from head to toe with a look full of regret.

"I didn't expect you to have already defeated the boss. What a pity."

Li Jun looked at Xiang.

Xiang was fully equipped with high-quality gear. He was undoubtedly much stronger than Li Jun.

Moreover, this part of the cave was deep and sparsely visited.

If Xiang wanted to kill Li Jun and take his treasures, there would be no problem.

Li Jun felt a sense of danger creeping in, aware of his situation.

Li Jun had to be cautious, even if the person in front of him seemed friendly and showed no ill intentions.

"So, you're also an information broker? What a coincidence! So am I."

Xiang looked at Li Jun curiously, "Really? You too?"

"Yes, but I've joined recently. I'm here because I received some information from one of the elders."

Xiang evaluated Li Jun and realized he was a novice. He could only nod in agreement.

"No wonder a novice like you found the boss faster than me. It seems you're one of us."

Xiang concluded that Li Jun might have connections with some big shots in the organization to get the information and find this place so quickly.

Therefore, he extended his hands with a smile and offered his contact information.

"Pleased to meet you, brother. Here's my contact information. If you need anything in the future, feel free to call me."

Li Jun smiled faintly and took Xiang's business card, handing over his own.

After Xiang received it, he said with a smile, "If there's new information in the future, I'll definitely contact you right away. Don't worry!"

He accepted the card with a smile and turned to leave.

Li Jun also left the cave accompanied by this "new colleague."

On his way out, Xiang couldn't help but ask, "Brother, who was the boss inside? I wasn't sure of its identity."

"It was the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla. It had just given birth."

"Ah, the Obsidian-Furred Giant Gorilla. I heard its material is precious."

"Yes, I plan to use it to evolve my talent."

"How envious I am of you. If only I could have arrived here earlier."

Regret showed on Xiang's face, believing he had wasted an entire night in vain!

After passing through several caves, Li Jun found himself once again facing the rock serpent monsters.

"You go ahead, I want to hunt more rock serpent monsters."

Xiang nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll go ahead first…"

He headed towards the next cave while Li Jun stayed where he was.

The cave was teeming with rock serpent monsters, and Li Jun killed them one after another.

After dispatching them, he moved on to the next cave.

Li Jun remembered that his daily quest was not yet complete.

In this cave, it was difficult to complete his daily quest, whether it was running long distances or jumping far.

Therefore, completing the Wind Blow quest was the optimal choice.

With that, Li Jun began to swing his blades, resulting in the killing of the rock serpent monsters.

Finally, Li Jun was close to finishing hunting 50 rock serpent monsters and had swung his claws about 70 to 80 times.

Li Jun slowed down, which led to the killing of the remaining two monsters with more than 10 strikes each, leaving bloody wounds all over their bodies. Both rock serpent monsters died a gruesome death.

[Congratulations on completing the daily quest, Wind Blow (100/100)]

[Receive daily reward]

After completing the daily quest, his quest to kill 50 rock serpent monsters was also completed.

"Let's enhance my skills."

Li Jun decided to exchange his daily quest reward to improve his skills.

To complete future tasks faster, he decided to enhance the Wind-Cutting Cyclone skill.

If he enhanced the Wind-Cutting Cyclone, his efficiency would be much greater if he faced future tasks that required him to kill small monsters.

After enhancing his skill, Li Jun exited the cave.

Upon exiting, a notification appeared before Li Jun.

[Congratulations on clearing a difficult-level dungeon: Deep Shadow Cave.]

[You have received two rewards…]
