Chapter 152 Bronze Auspicious Beast
The Forbidden City is very distinctive. Bronze beasts and birds are everywhere in the city, from small ones like rabbits, mice, and sparrows to large ones like tigers, wolves, and peacocks. Bronze beasts are everywhere.
Most of the bronze beasts here are mortal level, and the homework assignment is to kill ten legendary bronze beasts, which seems very simple.
However, without the protection of a companion pet, it would be very dangerous to rush into the bronze beast herd.
It would be fine if ordinary mortal-level students didn't have companion pets, but Li Xuan and his friends couldn't use their companion pets, which made them feel very unhappy.
"Among so many bronze beasts, which one is the legendary one?" Zhou Wen looked at the many bronze creatures in the city and couldn't tell them apart for a moment.
"There's only one legendary bronze beast in the Forbidden City, called the Bronze Auspicious Beast. It's definitely not here. We'll have to go further in to see it." Li Xuan paused, pointing at the mortal-level bronze beasts and saying, "It's best to ignore them. Let's just go in and find the Bronze Auspicious Beast."
"Why?" Zhou Wen asked puzzledly.
"There are too many of these mortal-level bronze beasts. Even if we kill them all now, another batch will soon pour in from the space cracks, and we will never be able to clear them out no matter how hard we try. However, their explosion rate is very low. No matter how many we kill, nothing useful will drop. There is no need to waste time on them." Li Xuan said as he rushed into the forbidden city.
Strangely enough, the bronze beasts and birds in the Forbidden City were originally motionless, like statues, but as soon as Li Xuan approached them, the nearby bronze beasts came alive and pounced on Li Xuan and Zhou Wen ferociously.
Zhou Wen and the others tried their best to avoid their attacks. Once they rushed out of a certain range, the bronze beasts would no longer chase them, but would automatically return to their original places, either squatting or standing, as if they had turned into statues again.
It wasn't until they reached a crossroads in the city that Li Xuan pointed to a statue of a giant bronze beast and said, "That's the bronze auspicious beast."
Zhou Wen took a closer look and saw that the statue looked like a tiger and a lion, with scales on its body, a tail like a snake, and a pair of horns on its head. It looked very strange.
"Roar!" The two were still about fifty meters away from the bronze auspicious beast, but the bronze auspicious beast suddenly came to life, let out a roar, and then jumped down from the bronze platform, rushing towards Zhou Wen and Li Xuan like a green streak of wild gallop.
The two men dodged quickly, and the bronze beast missed its attack. Its claws scratched the stones on the ground, leaving several deep marks, as if someone had chopped them with an axe.
"Is this what you call ordinary?" Zhou Wen knew that this guy was definitely not ordinary just by looking at its speed and strength, and must be top-level among the legendary level.
Without the ability to use his companion pet, Zhou Wen's strength and speed would probably not be comparable to it.
when!
Li Xuan punched the bronze beast, but his fist became numb from the shock and he was unable to hurt the bronze beast at all.
"Oh my god, how is that possible? The information clearly states that the bronze auspicious beast has average attributes, similar to an ordinary Vajra Warrior, just a little harder to kill." Li Xuan was also very depressed.
While the two were dealing with the bronze auspicious beast, the ordinary bronze beasts nearby also pounced on them, causing them some trouble.
Zhou Wen used the Ash Palm, but it had no effect on the bronze beast. The bronze beast's ability to withstand blows seemed to be no worse than that of an ordinary Vajra warrior.
But its speed is much faster than Vajrapani, and it is also among the top ranks, and very difficult to deal with.
Only after Zhou Wen used the Star-Severing Blade Qi did he leave a deep scar on the bronze auspicious beast's body, but such a scar was not enough to kill the bronze auspicious beast unless Zhou Wen could release two or three more Star-Severing Blade Qis.
However, the full force of the Star-Slaying Sword had already drained all of his energy, so how could he release any more?
Li Xuan and Zhou Wen had no choice but to withdraw from the Forbidden City and returned empty-handed.
"Fortunately, it was the two of us who came. If it were those mortal-level classmates, they would have died in there. The homework assigned by the princess tutor is too outrageous, right? And why is the information provided so unreliable?" Li Xuan said a little depressedly, looking at his tattered clothes.
"Who knows? But it's good this way. I'll think about it carefully when I get back and come up with a strategy for killing the bronze auspicious beast. By then, there will definitely be a lot of classmates who want to buy it." Zhou Wen was very optimistic because before he entered the city, he had already discovered the small hand pattern and downloaded the Forbidden City to his mobile phone.
Zhou Wen didn't know that the bronze auspicious beast had no weaknesses. As long as he spent more time studying, he would definitely be able to find a simple way to kill the bronze auspicious beast. If he wrote it into a strategy guide, he might be able to make a fortune.
Li Xuan had no choice but to listen to Zhou Wen and go back first.
After returning to his dormitory, Zhou Wen opened the Forbidden City dungeon and began the process of repeatedly killing monsters.
Zhou Wen has been experimenting repeatedly, from how to move after entering the city, how to avoid waking up the bronze beast as much as possible, to killing the bronze auspicious beast.
What Li Xuan said was indeed correct. The bronze auspicious beast was much stronger than what was written in the information. Even for a legendary student, it would be very difficult to kill it in a one-on-one situation without using a companion pet.
In the past, those specially recruited students needed four people to work together to kill the bronze beast. Now, asking Zhou Wen and his class, most of whom are ordinary students, to kill the bronze beast is simply an impossible task.
At the beginning, Zhou Wen also relied on the help of Di Ting and Bajiaoxian to successfully kill a bronze auspicious beast.
After slowly studying, he was finally able to kill the bronze auspicious beast independently. However, just because Zhou Wen could do it, it didn't mean that other students could do it.
Even if Zhou Wen wrote out the strategy, those students whose attributes were still at the mortal level and who did not have powerful vitality skills would not be able to use his method and strategy.
"Is there really no other way?" Zhou Wen continued to kill the bronze auspicious beast while researching, hoping to find a way to allow his mortal classmates to kill the bronze auspicious beast.
The princess at this moment had a smug look on her face. She did issue the school task of killing the bronze auspicious beast, but she did some tricks when issuing the task.
Except for Zhou Wen and Li Xuan, the other students received the task of killing mortal-level bronze beasts. Only the two of them received the task of killing legendary bronze beasts.
"If we don't let those two guys suffer a little, they will really think they are great." The princess was very sure that Zhou Wen and Li Xuan would not be able to complete the task.
This academic task is also prepared for those legendary special recruits this year. It has not been officially announced yet. Even for those special recruits, three or four people need to work together to have a chance to kill the bronze auspicious beast.
There are only two legendary-level students in their class now, Li Xuan and Zhou Wen. Even if they want to find other classmates to form a team and help, it is impossible.
Thinking of Zhou Wen failing to complete the task and coming to her in a disheveled state, the princess was looking forward to that scene.
