There seemed to be something wrong with the Wild Giant's mental state. It had probably read too many high school essays, so it liked to let its imagination run wild. It was thinking about life and the meaning of life. What was a snowman, a Boss guarding a cave, thinking about? Wei Huo wanted to stuff the soul gem back into the Wild Giant's chest, but the Wild Giant pushed him away.
Wei Huo wanted to stuff the soul gem back into the Wild Giant's chest, but the Wild Giant pushed him away. It said, "I feel that my birth, my cultivation, my entering the Epic stage, and my coming to this snow mountain were all arranged by fate. They were all for this moment to bloom. This is my mission. At this moment, I feel this mission. This is probably the legendary 'Mission Call', right?" Wei Huo wanted to stuff the soul gem back into the Wild Giant's chest, but the Wild Giant pushed him away.
Wei Huo was confused.
Say it again. What is your mission?
Wei Huo could not help but ask, "Do you know something?"
Indeed, just as the Wild Giant had said, its existence and life had been fixed by the game system. It had to protect the snow mountain and fight the Black Dragon. Then, the players would make a choice. If the players chose to kill it, it could only be attacked by the Black Dragon and the players. In the end, it would die. At the last moment, it would bloom with the most beautiful fireworks.
This was the fate of an NPC. This was the fate of a Boss.
Wei Huo could not help but feel sad. Moments later, he asked, "You won't die. Why are you sad? If you don't like this fate, just leave this place with me! "
Wei Huo planned to kidnap an Epic-ranked fighter, but he did not expect the Wild Giant to smile and say, "I can't leave this place. Look, the soul gem has been shattered. My soul is about to dissipate. I … am going to die." Wei Huo was shocked.
Wei Huo was stunned. Indeed, he could see from the Information Panel that the snowman's body was healthy. However, it still had a soul. Its soul gem had shattered after being hit by the Black Dragon.
The Wild Giant looked at the starry sky that was about to be covered by dark clouds and asked, "Are you really human?"
Wei Huo nodded. "That's right. I'm human. I'm real."
The Wild Giant added, "Can you tell me how to say the word 'starry sky' in human language?"
Wei Huo fell silent. He did not know how to tell him how to say the word 'Starry Sky' in Chinese, as every word he said would be automatically translated by the system. Wei Huo could not find the translation system, so he could not turn it off. Wei Huo nodded.
No matter how many times Wei Huo used the human language, he could not tell the snowman how to pronounce the word 'Starry Sky' in Chinese.
That was why Wei Huo could not speak.
However, the Wild Giant suddenly laughed. "Look, you don't know what to say. You really aren't human."
Wei Huo remained silent. He could not answer because he did not know how to explain things to the other party.
I am indeed a human, but I really can't tell you how to pronounce this word in Chinese.
The Wild Giant looked at the starry sky that was gradually covered by dark clouds and slowly recited the essay. "'The Greatness of Ordinary People', author: Wei Huo. A drop of water might be ordinary, but it can nourish an inch of land … "
Wei Huo listened quietly. At that moment, he could not help but think. Did I write that essay to influence the snowman and change its fate? Was everything really destined?
"Although I was born ordinary, lived ordinary, and died ordinary, and although history does not remember me, I contributed to history … Friend, can you do me a favor?"
Wei Huo snapped out of his thoughts and asked, "What favor?"
The Wild Giant used its last thought to move a test paper in front of Wei Huo and said, "Find the owner of this ancient book and tell him that although he is the most ordinary person among humans, he is very great in my eyes!"
Wei Huo's eyes turned moist when he heard that.
I'm standing right in front of you!
The last star in the sky disappeared. The dark clouds gathered again, and snowflakes continued falling.
Wei Huo looked into the snowman's eyes and said calmly, "I will definitely find the owner of this ancient book. I promise!"
Wei Huo did not know if the Wild Giant had heard him, as it had already closed its eyes.
The snow on the snowman's body was gradually melting. In the end, it turned into a pile of rubble. The power that had condensed the snowman had disappeared. Wei Huo did not know if the Wild Giant was considered a living creature.
Wei Huo did not know if the Wild Giant was considered a living creature. Although it could move, it did not have blood. Although it could think, it did not have a brain. The soul gem was its core. If it lost the gem, it would die.
The soul gem in Wei Huo's hand had already shattered into pieces. Wei Huo put it away.
Killing an Epic-ranked creature could not obtain a single Magical Stone. However, a soul gem could be exchanged for 1,000 Magical Stones. It seemed like the difference between an Epic-ranked soul and a Rare-ranked soul was not 100 times, but 1,000 times.
The shattered soul gems could also be used to exchange for Magical Stones. However, Wei Huo did not exchange them. He planned to keep the gem. Perhaps he would have a chance to revive the snowman in the future.
The Wild Giant and the Black Dragon were dead, but the Ice Elementals on the snowy mountain were still there. Some of them would respawn after a while. Wei Huo went down the mountain and looked around. As expected, he found the Black Dragon's Lair in a hidden place. Unfortunately, there was nothing else in the Black Dragon's Lair except for the Crawling Dragons.
It seemed like the Black Dragon's Lair was just an ordinary leveling spot.
Wei Huo waited there for half a year. The new Epic-ranked Wild Giant and the new Epic-ranked Black Dragon were respawned, but they no longer remembered Wei Huo.
The new Wild Giant did not remember Wei Huo, nor did it remember humans. It was not interested in anthropology, as Wei Huo had collected the exercise books. That was why it did not have any ancient human books to read, nor did it understand human language.
Besides, its personality and temper were completely different from the snowman's. It was not the Wild Giant from before!
It was the new Wild Giant sent by the snowmen.
As the Wild Giant and the Black Dragon had died, Wei Huo had failed the quest. This time, he had gone up the mountain and obtained another Assault Armor. He had then triggered the quest.
This time, Wei Huo had helped the snowman kill the Black Dragon and completed the quest. He had received a reward of + 10 from the snowman and a random item.
Bambi's Slag.
Skill: Sacrifice: Causes burning damage to everything around you after equipping it.
It was a fist-sized slag. As long as it stayed on his body, a ring of fire would appear under his feet. The ring of fire would not harm him, but it would harm everything around him. When Wei Huo obtained the equipment, the soul gem he had obtained from killing the Black Dragon emitted white smoke. The surrounding Crawling Dragons scattered in all directions in fear, and the snow melted. Wei Sha and the rhinoceros moved away from Wei Huo.
