Han Dong didn't think much of the two options given by the side storyline.
If they killed the beasts directly,
They could only obtain the damaged giant beast's heart. If they didn't have a special preservation method, they would not be able to bring it back to the city wall. They might even die before they could leave the cave.
They could only soak everyone's badges in the blood of the heart. After returning to the city, they could obtain a high reward for killing the beasts.
Some of the materials from the giant beast might be useful, but that was it.
If they chose the treatment direction,
They might be able to obtain a good gift (maybe the giant beast would cut off a goat's horn as a gift). The subsequent exploration would also be assisted by the giant beast.
Such a reward seemed good.
However, after careful consideration, the team's ultimate goal was not to explore the Limitless City, but to find and obtain the treasure hidden in the deepest part of the city … this giant beast that resided at the border between the inner city and the outer city would only play a temporary role.
Long-term considerations.
The above two options were nothing compared to the "third option" that Han Dong came up with.
That was to provide treatment for the giant beast's heart, and at the same time, ensure the integrity of the giant beast. When the heart in the body had fully recovered, the whole heart would be dug out perfectly.
Grimm's characteristics were very suitable for this job.
Moreover.
Once the giant beast was restored to its original state, the materials it dropped would also be in better condition.
…
After four hours.
The last tremor spread throughout the cave.
The [Giant Beast – Bell Horn] fell heavily to the ground.
There was a very strange circular wound between the lower abdomen and the spine that went all the way to the inside of the body.
The wall of the wound had a dark rock structure, and there was no flesh at all.
Rather than a wound, it was more like an abyss that was embedded in the body.
Something was slowly crawling out from the abyss. Upon closer inspection, it was a young man whose whole body was corroded, with black acid dripping from his wounds.
While crawling, his left arm was completely detached due to the deep corrosion.
There was a complete heart with a diameter of five meters, measured in tons, tied under his body.
Even so, the young man still crawled out.
"Phew! That was dangerous … this giant beast's body has a complete defense system, I almost couldn't hold on.
How are you guys? You're not dead yet, right? "
Hundreds of meters away from the wall with the giant goat's hoof print, Han Dong, with comminuted fractures all over his body, slowly crawled out from the wall.
"Fortunately … I can barely hold on! If he was kicked a few more times, his body would not be able to take it.
We need to go back to the city wall to reorganize and increase the strength of the team … Sally, are you okay? "
"I'm okay, but my stamina is basically depleted. I need some time to recover ~ Urgh!"
Sally was standing in front of the Behemoth's corpse, slowly returning from her Black Goat form to her human form in the game … Due to her weakness and disorder, she started vomiting the moment she returned to her human form.
Grimm, who was resting and recuperating on the giant beast, said while patting its fur.
"How are we going to bring these things back? The heart alone weighs a few tons, not to mention the other materials on this thing. "
Just as Glenn raised this question.
A series of standard game prompts sounded:
[You have perfectly killed the hidden BOSS – [Giant Beast Bell Horn (Normal Condition)]. The mysterious Catacombs are now completely open to your team.]
The dropped items are as follows:
1. "Perfect Beast Type Heart (100 m Class)"
2. "Corrupted Horn", "Cursed Sheep's Head", "Needled Fur (Large)", "Hardened Hoof (Large)"
3. Coordinate Stone – "Mysterious Catacombs"
The coordinate stone can only be used in the outer city. It can be used to teleport the team to the mysterious Catacombs. Cooldown time is 24 hours.
For the convenience of players, the Behemoth's materials will be shrunk according to the individual scale. The quality and integrity will not be affected.
Hiss!
Black smoke rose.
When the Behemoth's corpse evaporated and disappeared, there were several materials on the ground that were shining with different light beams.
It was very similar to the loot dropped by the World Boss in role-playing games.
"Needled Fur" and "Hardened Hoof" were packed in two large leather bags, corresponding to the blue light beam.
"Corrupted Horn" was two sheep's horns emitting corrosive black gas. The surface was engraved with runes, shining with a purple light beam.
"Cursed Sheep's Head" was also compressed to the size of a normal antelope. Its eyes were emitting black gas. If it could be polished, it should be able to make a good mask.
As for "Perfect Beast Type Heart (100 m Class)", it was shining with a pink light beam, symbolizing an epic item in the ladybug game.
"That's more like it! Hahaha! "
Han Dong, who was leaning against the wall, stared at the treasures on the ground. He could not control the emotions in his body and laughed crazily.
Even if his whole body was comminuted, such crazy laughter would cause severe pain in every part of his body, but Han Dong still could not stop laughing …
At the same time, Grimm seemed to be assimilated. He also followed along and laughed crazily without stopping.
For the next half an hour, the Catacombs continued to reverberate with the laughter of the two lunatics.
And it was very strange that the injuries that should have been aggravated gradually recovered with the crazy laughter.
When the three of them recovered to a certain extent, they immediately packed up the dropped rare materials … such a Behemoth's heart could not be casually hung around their waists. Once it was exposed, who knew how much trouble it would cause.
The good things were directly stored by Grimm into the "Abyss in the Body".
The three of them returned to the starting point of the Catacombs from the entrance and stared at the unexplored left passage.
"Since we have the coordinate stone with us, we can return here at any time.
Let's go back to the city wall to submit the mission and properly digest the harvest of our first trip out of the city … The next time we come out, we can directly start exploring from here. "
…
[City in the Wall – Kalmus]
Because they were carrying "precious items", the return journey was slightly tense. When they boarded the city wall lift, all the worries disappeared.
Main Hall District
Similarly, a half-mechanized lady greeted the three of them in front of the newcomer counter.
"Please submit your" Assassin Badge ". We will judge whether you have completed the" First Exploration "based on the exploration time and route recorded in the badge.
Hmm? I have a good impression of the three of you. It seems that you have just left here 8 hours ago … If the duration of the first exploration is less than 12 hours, the mission submission will definitely fail.
You will also lose the opportunity to live in Kalmus. "
"No problem, just submit it directly."
When Han Dong handed over the badge, at the same time, he made a gesture of putting his index finger in front of his mouth.
When the lady inserted the badge into the device, the image displayed on the projection screen almost made her cry out. She quickly covered her mouth with both hands.
"You … all of you come with me!
The mayor has specially instructed that the team that kills the Behemoth on their first exploration will be personally received by him.
One hundred meters! How is it possible … "
"Shh! Lower your voice, please lead the way. "
