Dangerous Emergency Quest- Wipe out?

Aren and Luna killed four more beasts with the same method. They only took short breaks to recover their spirit energy by drinking spirit after each kill.

Right when they were about to kill the fifth beast, Aren paused as he heard a sound inside his head and also a notification in front of him.

[ Quest: Kill Ten BloodThirsty Elephant ]- Completed.

...

...

Aren received the exp of 2000 as the reward. In addition to getting 290 exp for killing four beasts, He was close to leveling up.

-Level: 8 [ 3250/3500 ] Exp.

He just lacked 250 exp before he levels up again.

" What happened, Aren? " Luna asked as she saw Aren suddenly pausing.

Aren also received a spiritual call from his mother as he looked at Luna, " Wait a minute. "

After saying that, he accepted the spiritual call.

Lorain--" Aren, Are you fine now? We finished the quest, so you can come out now. "

Aren--" I am fine, Mom. I have left that cave, and now I am at another place. Also, I will leave after a while because I am in the middle of doing something very important. "

Lorain--" Becareful, Aren. Don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. "

Aren--" Don't worry. I will come out soon. "

...

After talking with his mother, Aren nodded at Luna, " Let's go. "

They both ran into the passage, but this time, They didn't pause at the end but directly entered the cave and attacked the beast.

After all, There was only a single beast left.

After killing it, Aren and Luna looked at each other with excitement.

" Fifty-Fifty. " Aren said with a grin.

" Yep. " Luna nodded.

Both of them then started plucking out the red barries and created two small mountains of it as they were counting.

It took them forty minutes to pluck out all barries, and Lorain's call came once again, but Aren told her that he would come out in twenty minutes since he was still working.

After finishing, Luna pointed at the berries she gathered and said, " Four hundred twenty-eight barries. "

" Four hundred six barries. " Aren replied as he pointed at the barries he gathered.

Hearing that, Luna nodded and gave eleven barries to Aren before smiling, " Done. Now it's fifty-fifty. "

" How do you plan to leave now? There are two ways: First, leave together with me. Second, Tell me your address so I can pick you up there? " Aren asked.

Luna thought for a few moments before speaking, " I'll just leave together with you. I was living in government dorm quarters, and it sucks there. If there was no 16 hours limit here, I would just live in this world since it's free of disgust. "

" Wait...You want to live in my house? " Aren was shocked.

But Aren found out that Luna's face had a shock as she looked in front of her. But her gaze was looking at something else.

Seeing that, Aren asked, " What notification did you get? "

Luna looked at Aren and smiled brightly before speaking, " Just speak about living inside this world, and you will get the same notification. "

" Oh?.." Aren was surprised before trying it out as he muttered in a low voice, " Wish I could live in this world. "

Right after that, He heard a voice inside his head along with the notification in front of him.

[ Once you reach level 10 and pass the Life Stage evolution, You can stay inside Wild Expanse for however long you want. But, when the despair arrives, you will be kicked out from the Wild Expanse to face the despair. ]

Aren was shocked, " This...is good. "

" Yeah! Let's reach level 10 fast. I still have 1 hour before 16 hours of time-up. What about you? Anyway, I will not leave before spending that one hour and getting as much exp as I can. " Luna said with determination.

" I have two hours left. But it's fine. We will leave before your time is up. " Aren said with a grin.

But suddenly...

*Dhadan dhadan...Crackkk*

The cave started to tremble along with the whole mountain and...

[ Emergency Quest: Kill the Slumbering Ancient Blood Python before it wakes up. ]

<Objective>

--> An Ancient Blood Python is slumbering below in the underground of the mountain, You have to kill it while it's slumbering, or once it wakes up, you and the nearby Town will be wiped out.

<Reward>

--> 5000 Exp.

--> A random skill box( Rank A to Rank C )

The trembling of the mountain stopped as everything returned to a calm state.

Aren and Luna looked at each other with serious expressions because this quest looked very dangerous.

" We can't waste time! We have to find a way towards the python before it wakes up, or the first ones to die will be us. " Aren said with a frown.

" Yep. I think we can't even run because the quest objective mentioned that the first ones to die would be us. This can also mean that the python will directly wake up if we run away instead of attempting the quest. " Luna speculated.

" Yep. The trigger could likely be us leaving from this mountain cave. " Aren nodded before he looked around and said, " You go search that another cave while I search here. The quest objective mentioned that the python is underground, so there should be a way to go there. "

Luna ran towards the passage without wasting time while Aren also started searching for a way underground inside this cave.

Both of them were sweating with nervousness while searching resolutely.

Five minutes passed, but they found nothing, and at that time, both of them received a notification.

[ 3 minutes until the Slumbering Python Wakes up ]

[ 2:59 ]

[ 2:58 ]

They both saw the countdown and started sweating buckets.

Aren took a deep breath as he swept his gaze around the cave once again.

After three seconds of thinking hard, He contacted Luna with a spiritual call and told her to follow his instructions.

" This is our last bet, do it! "
