Chapter 91: Smells So Good
Beep: You’ve removed the influence on the Totem Pole.
Beep: Your action increased the Totem Pole and Wandering Light Snake Spirit compatibility by +1.
Beep: Congratulations, you’ve unlocked the Totem Pole and Wandering Light Snake Spirit task, reward: compatibility.
Note: Compatibility 1%, an official Witch can accept the task.
Small Knife was stunned, damn, turns out as a fake Witch I can’t take the task to increase compatibility. This danger actually helped me instead.
After a quick thought, the mastermind behind this, the current players can’t do it, only NPCs, and the only NPC with negative favorability is the Witch and Snake Spirit, who also have ties to this Totem Pole.
Small Knife smiled wryly, being calculated by an NPC, damn it, what a disgrace.
But I’ll definitely get back at them.
Nevertheless, being ambushed this time made him realize his hard training wasn’t in vain, and the Iron Cloth Shirt was awesome.
It doesn’t show usually, but it saved his life in critical moments.
Using Blood Qi to assist cultivation, treated as consumables, increases training speed tenfold. But it’s still not enough. He looked at the prompt, the rapidly increasing proficiency during attacks, his eyes sparkled.
Thanks to the ambush from the Witch and Snake Spirit kids, I have to work even harder, and I’ve found a shortcut to quickly enhance the Iron Cloth Shirt.
Of course, I still have to take your little life.
But for now, let’s see if there are tasks that increase compatibility.
Kill a Fierce Beast level snake? Obtain an internal crystal, integrate it into the Totem Pole? Increase compatibility by 10, upgrade Snake Spirit Level.
This task is simple, but the minimum Fierce Beast level is Level 80. Don’t kid me, can I complete it now?
Looking for Witch Runes for compatibility, not only increases compatibility but also upgrades the Totem Pole.
But as long as he can get Witch Runes, Small Knife won’t miss any.
Checked again, it seems there’s nothing suitable.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
A task appeared to integrate Black Bone into the Totem Pole, to integrate metal.
Valuable metal that’s hard to obtain in the Witch Capital, is it a problem for me?
If a problem can be solved with metal, it’s not a problem.
Casually taking an iron nail from his Personal Space, he placed it on the Totem Pole, and chose to submit the task.
The runes on the Totem Pole flickered, tiny light spots condensed into a liked snake head shape, directly swallowing the iron nail.
Beep: Task submitted, based on the metal size and quality, gained compatibility 0.5.
Beep: Congratulations, your Totem Pole, slight damage status has received minor repair.
Normally, tasks that provide resources are a loss.
But Small Knife didn’t care, increasing compatibility and recovering is simply a good thing.
Then he casually took out a heavy piece of metal.
This time, the Snake Spirit’s head emerged, biting, it took half a day to swallow it down, nearly choking.
Beep: Task submitted, based on the metal size and quality, gained compatibility 7.
Beep: Congratulations, your Totem Pole, slight damage status has received decent repair.
Keep up the good work.
Beep: Congratulations, your Totem Pole, slight damage status has been fully repaired.
Repaired, nice, but Small Knife didn’t stop.
Beep: Congratulations, your Totem Pole absorbed metal, quality slightly improved.
Keep up the good work!
Beep: Your Totem Pole absorbed a large amount of metal in short time, reached a limit, cannot absorb further until integration is completed.
"Full from this much?" Small Knife discontentedly glanced.
Looking at the Totem Pole, it had thickened by a circle.
Of course, that awesome Snake Spirit compatibility had reached 100%.
This allowed Small Knife to clearly feel the connection between the Totem Pole and himself within its domain, the joy and satisfaction of the slumbering Snake Spirit, ready to awaken at any time.
Totem Pole (Level 80): Three-Stripe Special Witch Artifact. Registered owner, upper limit increased: Level 90.
Totem Core: Spirit: Snake Spirit (Level 80) Slumbering. (Compatibility 100%, can be upgraded)
Witch Rune Ability 1: Solid.
Witch Rune Ability 2: Resistance Aura.
Witch Rune Ability 3: Warning, upon reaching or exceeding Level 30, any entity with hostile intent approaching will automatically be warned and activate the Snake Spirit.
Totem Pole Shared Ability 1: Self-destruction.
Totem Pole Shared Ability 2: Witch Spirit Realm.
Note 1: 100% compatibility, as long as you don’t betray the Wugubu Tribe, the Snake Spirit is your most loyal minion.
Note 2: The Snake Spirit can absorb souls within the Spirit Realm by killing or absorbing soul-containing crystals to increase its level.
Note 3: With a wealth of resources, the large integration of precious metals enhances the quality of the Totem Pole, potentially incorporating new Witch Runes without fear of collapse!
At this moment, Small Knife finally had the time to open the courtyard door.
The corpses of the three Fierce Beasts were naturally awarded to the Bloodthirsty Vine.
Xiu’Er was already busy in the courtyard.
The aroma wafted out, as it turned out, breakfast was being prepared.
Beep: Congratulations, your servant, Xiu’Er has comprehended the Basic Cooking Skill, evaluation: Minor Achievement.
The Chicken King strutted proudly past Small Knife, followed by two Queens, and further behind was a group of Consorts.
"Smells so good!" Small Knife was eating a much larger egg.
This was the egg laid by the Level 20 Chicken Empress, tastier, and could also boost 100 experience. Although you can eat only one per day, it doesn’t conflict with the eggs laid by the already Level 10 Consorts.
After finishing the big and small eggs and Xiu’Er’s breakfast, and patting his belly full.
Originally planning to activate the Witch Residence, but Small Knife changed his mind at this time, gave some instructions, and left alone.
After sweeping all day with his brothers, riding the Bone Horse, Small Knife wasn’t slow. Even so, it took over two hours to find a group of thirteen Wilderness Wolves, with the leader only a stronger Level 28.
Jumping off the Bone Horse, he dashed forward.
Provoked , the Wilderness Wolves lunged at him fiercely.
Small Knife activated the Blood Burning Pendant, then protected his vital points with the Iron Cloth Shirt, transferring Blood Qi to the skin surface, without attacking.
Instantly, he was surrounded by the Wilderness Wolves tearing and biting.
Small Knife just endured .
Beep: Blood Qi nourishment, under external attack, your Iron Cloth Shirt proficiency increased by 15.
Originally using Blood Qi nourishment, it gave a tenfold effect, now with the Wilderness Wolves, increased to 15 times, but still way off compared to Basic-level Fierce Beast attack effects.
But it’s better than nothing.
The mad attacking Wilderness Wolves weakened.
"Thought you were tough guys, but you’re just wimps." Small Knife discontentedly raised his middle finger, then pulled out a long knife.
"After utilizing, you’re useless now."
Wilderness Wolves turned into corpses.
Looking at wolf corpses on the ground, what a pity.
Used binoculars to scan the surroundings, no danger, then ordered the Bone Horse to protect him.
Stored the wolf corpses in Personal Space, logged off, took out, logged back in.
