Chapter 49: Chapter 49: 4th Generation Source Origin: Qi Die

The news of discovering the Fourth Generation Primordial Monster caused a stir on the forums.

A large number of players flocked to Lu Xing’s livestream to see what the Fourth Generation Primordial Monster looked like.

Seeing that the Hunting Level of the Fourth Generation Primordial Monster was only level 7, the watching players had mixed feelings.

One of the greatest pains in the world is watching others become rich while having no coins to oneself.

The Life Soul Characteristic of Qi Die also sparked lively discussions among the spectators:

Dark Lands is really fun: This Life Soul’s trait is interesting, the analysis says it can fly, defend, and attack, this is literally the dream Life Soul for Monster Stream players, a single Life Soul that solves all needs.

Slaughter Everywhere: Brother, you can’t handle this Primordial Monster, let me do it, I’m on my way, make sure to wait for me!

Dark Night Will Come: You obviously haven’t realized how awesome the "Wind-Controlling" trait of Qi Die is, I can guarantee that this Life Soul will definitely become a universally owned Life Soul in the late stage.

Leopard Head Zero Charge replies to Dark Night Will Come: Brother Hei Ye, elaborate please. I benefitted a lot from the Life Soul flow strategy post you sent earlier, but I can’t understand why the Wind-Controlling Soul would be one in every player’s hands?

Dark Night Will Come replies to Leopard Head Zero Charge:

This question is actually easy to explain.

The map of Monster World is huge, in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range alone we have only cleared 9.6% of the map fog, and there are many unexplored areas left.

For such super free open worlds, traveling is inevitably a headache for all players.

Other games usually solve this with two methods: mounts and transmission.

Dark Lands currently hasn’t introduced space transmission and mount functions, I’m not sure if these will be available in the future, so for now, we can only reach our destinations by walking.

Currently, it takes an hour to travel from Imperial Tomb Village to the Blood-Colored Plain.

The Guidance Analysis highlights two key points about the Wind-Controlling Soul: flying and increasing movement speed.

This means embedding a Wind-Controlling Soul could significantly reduce travel time. Besides, a faster movement speed during battles can be used to dodge attacks or even to escape, making it a versatile Life Soul with strong capabilities.

...

Dark Night Will Come is a well-known strategy party player on the forums.

His earlier post sharing three Star Vein Combinations was pinned as the hottest post on the forum, attracting a lot of attention from players.

His analysis in the livestream made the spectators realize the strength of the Wind-Controlling trait.

Just the feature of significantly speeding up travel alone is enough to make most players choose to embed it, meaning they can save a lot of travel time compared to other players, and invest more energy into hunting monsters or resource mining.

Viewers in the livestream began sending barrage messages, urging Lu Xing to quickly take down Qi Die, not letting it escape.

In the face of common interests, any sour feelings in the players’ hearts vanished.

They even started feeling tense.

Primordial Monsters are different from Evil Spirits, as they are not limited to a specific environment and are not restricted by the spatial limits of the moon phase.

And since Qi Die is a Primordial Monster with the ability to fly, if not captured this time, it might not be found in the same place waiting for players to hunt next time; it’s entirely possible it could fly out of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

Such an important Life Soul, all players want to possess.

Under the urging of the spectators in the livestream, Lu Xing switched to Eagle-Headed Demon form, slowly approaching Qi Die.

Noticing Lu Xing’s approach, a figure suddenly jumped out from the bushes and appeared in the view of Lu Xing and the livestream viewers.

It had a pair of broad wings, a large round head, a body in an elegant streamline shape, covered with a layer of white feathers. Under the moonlight, its surface was enveloped in swiftly changing brilliant colors, large eyes shining with green lights adding a touch of cuteness to its body.

"Goo goo!"

Qi Die made a call toward Lu Xing, seemingly as a warning.

"I’m only level 7, I might not be its opponent."

Hearing Lu Xing’s words, the players watching the live stream began to cheer him on, saying not to be afraid of a same-level challenge and not let this Fourth Generation Primordial Monster get away.

Encouraged by the audience, Lu Xing gritted his teeth and flapped his wings, charging at Qi Die.

"Goo!"

Qi Die cried out, flapped its wings fiercely and a gale howled, blowing Lu Xing off. He tumbled several times in the air and then landed roughly on his bottom.

"Again!"

Determined, Lu Xing got up and charged again with his wings flapping.

But the outcome remained unchanged; with a light flap of its wings, Qi Die whipped up a wind that sent Lu Xing flying backwards, unable to even get close to Qi Die.

After several failed attempts, Lu Xing started thinking about giving up.

But the players in the live stream did not give up. They kept saying victory was within reach since each use of Wind Control by Qi Die drained its spiritual power and its Mana would soon run out. "Just hold on a little longer and you can win."

Encouraged by the players, Lu Xing gritted his teeth and persisted.

Half an hour later, after being blown away by Qi Die again, Lu Xing fell hard to the ground and couldn’t get up.

He looked miserable, most of his fiery red feathers were gone, and his body ached all over.

Just as Lu Xing was about to give up, a notification sounded in his mind:

[Challenger Tips: Received a no-cost donation of 10 points of sacrificial power from ’分币不花’, after deducting a transaction fee of 3 points, 7 points are added to your account.]

[Challenger Tips: Received a donation of 30 points of sacrificial power from ’数学考五分’, after deducting a transaction fee of 9 points, 21 points are added to your account.]

[Challenger Tips: ...]

Realizing Lu Xing was about to give up, decisive viewers opted to spend their money to retain him.

They suggested that the donated sacrificial power could be used to buy Healing Potions from the mall, which could heal injuries and get him back into the fight.

With the sponsorship from the enthusiastic crowd, Lu Xing’s fighting spirit was reignited. He bought potions from the store and drank them; his injuries healed at a visible speed, and his fallen feathers began to regrow.

Looking up, he saw Qi Die watching him with an expression that seemed almost mocking, Lu Xing even sensed a provocative look in its eyes.

"Kill!"

Lu Xing gritted his teeth, launching a new round of charges.

During this time, the players in the live stream continued to provide emotional support, cheering and urging him on, with tips notifications continually sounding in Lu Xing’s mind.

After the fourth severe injury and healing, when Lu Xing charged again, he was surprised to find that Qi Die did not use its Wind-Controlling Power.

"Finally...!"

Lu Xing flashed his sharp beak, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Qi Die.

Just as he was less than half a meter away, Qi Die suddenly lifted its wings and slammed down towards him with such speed that the wings appeared as a blur.

Slap!

The smack hit the top of Lu Xing’s skull, causing him to fall heavily in front of Qi Die, seeing stars and his vision blurring.

Seeing this, various cries of dismay erupted in the live stream.

After analysis by "Dark Night Will Come," many players have come to regard the Wind-Controlling Soul as an essential choice in future Star Vein Combinations.

Many viewers, even more anxious than Lu Xing participating in the battle himself, saw Lu Xing completely beaten and some in the live stream emotionally commented:

"Refund if you lose!"
