Free Web NovelChapter 89: Chapter89-Mount Egg
LoranBlade flipped her wrist, and her longsword swept outward.
"Void-Cleaving Sweep!"
In an instant, countless cyan spatial sword energies exploded outward in all directions with her as the center.
Wherever the sword energy passed, the air was sliced open with dense cracks. Those silver-white void butterflies did not even have the chance to struggle before they were shredded by the sword net into fragments of light that filled the sky.
[-102334!]
[-98821!]
[-102456!]
Damage numbers exploded one after another in midair. The densely packed void butterflies fell like raindrops.
In just a single breath, over a hundred void butterflies were completely wiped out.
LoranBlade stood with her sword withdrawn, her chest rising and falling slightly. Yet her face carried a trace of exhilarating satisfaction.
John looked at the remains scattered across the ground and raised his brows slightly.
A-rank sword art?
No.
The power of that slash just now had clearly already approached the level of S-rank.
It seemed the opportunity she obtained was far more than just an increase in all attributes. Even the rank of her skills had risen by a level.
With this strength, she was indeed qualified to become his subordinate.
"Let’s go."
John did not say much. He stepped through the faint purple mist.
After passing through the Void Forest, their field of vision suddenly opened up.
Ahead of them was a vast wasteland. The ground was covered in gray-white gravel, and wind blew from afar, sweeping up fine sand and dust.
At the end of the wasteland, a group of colossal creatures was slowly moving.
They were a herd of giant elephants, each comparable in size to a small house. Their bodies were covered in silver-gray scales, and the tips of their long trunks glowed faintly with silver-white light. Every step they took caused the ground to tremble slightly.
Visible spatial ripples coiled around their bodies, and even the wind stirred up as they walked carried a trace of the aura of Laws.
Spatial Elephants.
The moment John saw this herd of giant elephants, his eyes brightened slightly.
In his previous life, the mount system had opened very late. It was only three or four months after the server launched that players gradually began obtaining mounts in the true sense.
Although Spatial Elephants were not top-tier in terms of growth potential, they had one incomparable advantage.
Appearance.
Their bodies were covered in silver-gray scales, spatial ripples appeared around them when they walked, and silver light flowed at the tips of their long trunks. Their overall appearance was extremely cool and eye-catching.
In his previous life, he had once seen a Spatial Elephant mount being hyped up to a high price of over a thousand gold coins at an auction.
And that had only been one.
If he could obtain a batch of them...
John licked his lips.
The herd of Spatial Elephants opposite them had clearly also discovered the two of them.
The leading giant elephants let out low trumpeting cries. Their thick limbs began accelerating, and their bodies, weighing dozens of tons, charged toward them with the momentum to crush everything.
LoranBlade instinctively tightened her grip on her sword hilt and was just about to attack, but John raised his hand and stopped her.
"I’ll do it."
John did not explain much. His figure flashed and swept into the air.
Pale blue sword light gathered in his palm, and the Space Sever sword let out a clear hum. He looked down from above at the elephant herd charging below and casually swung his sword.
Voidblade Gale.
A pale blue sword arc burst from the tip of the blade, like a massive net covering the sky and earth, instantly enveloping the entire wasteland.
Wherever the sword wind passed, space was sliced open with countless fine cracks. Those enormous Spatial Elephants did not even have time to scream before the sword wind pierced through their skulls with perfect precision.
[-823419!]
[-790221!]
[-856778!]
Damage numbers poured down like a waterfall. Over a hundred Spatial Elephants collapsed almost at the same time, raising dust that filled the sky.
John slowly landed, and dense system notifications rang beside his ears.
[You have killed Lv.45 Spatial Elephant. Obtained EXP +45,000, gold coin +450, Reputation +4,500!]
[You have killed Lv.45 Spatial Elephant. Obtained EXP +45,000, gold coin +450, Reputation +4,500!]
[You have killed Lv.45 Spatial Elephant. Obtained EXP +45,000...]
The notifications continued without pause for quite some time before finally stopping.
John ignored the EXP. His gaze landed directly on the shining loot scattered across the ground.
He stepped forward, and the corpses began transforming into white light one after another, entering his body.
[You have devoured the corpse of a Lv.45 Spatial Elephant. Obtained free attribute points +45!]
[You have devoured the corpse of a Lv.45 Spatial Elephant. Obtained free attribute points +45!]
[You have devoured...]
After over a hundred corpses were devoured, his free attribute points rose by more than six thousand again.
But what John cared about even more were the items on the ground emitting silver-white light.
He bent down and picked one up. It felt warm and smooth in his hand, its surface covered in fine spatial patterns.
[Spatial Elephant Mount Egg] ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
[Effect]: After hatching, you can obtain a Spatial Elephant mount. Movement Speed +50%. Possesses short-distance spatial shuttle ability.
[Introduction]: A juvenile egg of a Spatial Elephant. Its appearance is extremely cool, making it one of the mounts with great collectible value.
...
John counted the loot lights on the ground, and the curve of his lips gradually widened.
One hundred and forty-two.
At this moment, LoranBlade caught up and asked curiously, "Why didn’t you let me attack? Monsters at this level shouldn’t provide much EXP for you anymore, right?"
Hearing this, John glanced at the woman.
He casually took out one egg and tossed it to LoranBlade, who was staring with widened eyes beside him.
"Compensation."
LoranBlade hurriedly caught it. When she lowered her head and looked at its attributes, her eyes immediately lit up like two lamps.
"A mount? This thing can actually directly drop a Mount Egg?"
She turned it over and looked at it several times. The more she looked, the more she liked it, and she could not help tightly clenching it in her palm.
"With this, it’ll be much more convenient to go anywhere to farm monsters in the future!"
John did not reply. He simply stored the remaining one hundred and forty-one Mount Eggs into his backpack.
Looking at the neat row of silver-white Mount Eggs in his backpack, he began calculating inwardly.
Right now, the game had only been open for a little over a month. The vast majority of guilds were still focused on grinding levels and competing for equipment. They had not placed their attention on mounts at all.
Even if someone occasionally obtained one or two low-level mounts, they would at most use them personally. No one had thought of reselling them on a large scale.
This was not because they were stupid.
It was because most players were still at the stage of "playing the game."
As for those who truly had a business sense, either they had not yet taken the game seriously, or even if they had realized the opportunity, they could not produce such efficient monster-farming methods like John.
Only he was different.
He was a reborn person. More than anyone else, he knew how explosively the mount market would grow in a few months.
Once the midgame arrived and large numbers of players began running across maps to farm dungeons, while guilds frequently mobilized manpower, the price of a good mount would definitely be hyped to the heavens.
And right now, he held one hundred and forty-one Spatial Elephant Mount Eggs.
Every single one was a scarce and unique resource.
If he could find a stable production channel and keep these Spatial Elephants in this area under control for repeated farming, then he could continue eating this piece of the cake forever.
John’s eyes flickered slightly. He opened the trading panel, took out two Mount Eggs from his backpack, and listed them.
Starting price: three hundred gold coins each.
He would test the waters first.
If the result was good, he would not mind selling all of them.
