As a laid-off reemployed worker, Yun Jian was accidentally swept into a real-life survival game when she had nowhere else to turn. She was also 'lucky' enough to acquire a special attribute...
The white light seemed to be affected and trembled twice.
Yun felt a slight sense of relief; at least he was still alive, as he was still responsive.
Meanwhile, the cocoons started to cause even more trouble, shouting, "You all die! You ruined our level! You all have to die!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Jian cast a questioning glance at the fourth brother.
The fourth brother quickly explained to Yun Jian: "The killing power of the horned horse depends entirely on the lead horse. Without the lead horse, the rest are just a disorganized mess. Any third-level demon beast can easily defeat them. So without the lead horse, they will be reduced to the level of third- or even fourth-level demon beasts."
Yun Jian exclaimed "Oh!", "So their levels aren't static!"
The fourth brother nodded, "That's why the divine flower allows them to advance; it's simply because their strength increases after consuming it."
Yun laughed and threw a pebble into the pool.
The ripples on the water shook the silkworm cocoon several times.
"Congratulations on your demotion, noble second-class demonic beasts, horned horses."
Wildebeest: "..."
Killing the horse and then destroying its spirit is utterly immoral.
"What's there to be smug about? Even if we get demoted, we're still better than those dark-skinned guys around you! They're not even demon beasts, so they can't even make it onto the demon beast rankings. Sooner or later, they'll be hunted down by all the major demon beasts."
Yun Jian was taken aback. "What's this 'Monster Ranking List'?"
Is it some kind of ridiculous rich list?
The fourth brother's expression changed slightly. He tapped a few times on the system panel and brought up a leaderboard. "This is it. The monster ranking is updated in real time. The top-ranked monsters are almost all raised by major forces. These monsters are also the guarantee of those forces' strength."
Yun Jian scrolled up and saw a familiar name: Winged Wolf.
The fourth brother explained at the right moment: "The Winged Wolf is a special existence. No one knows when it appeared, but as soon as it appeared, it ascended to the number one throne. It does not rely on other forces. The monster force it formed on its own is enough to rival the major human forces."
She scrolled down, frowning slightly: "Why is the horned horse still a second-class demon beast?"
"Oh, mainly because they haven't fought since they lost their leader, so the system's detected strength is still at the previous level, and they're still at the level of second-class demon beasts."
Not far away, the stag horse let out a soft snort.
As long as they don't fight, they can maintain their glory as second-class demon beasts.
Yun Jian glanced lightly at the talkative horned horse.
I really wanted to put its arrogance to the test. It was always chattering away, and it was saying things that she didn't like to hear.
Yun Jian looked at the fourth brother and said, "Release them."
The fourth brother turned his head, "Boss?"
"Let them go, I want to fight them."
Aren't they supposed to be proud second-class demonic beasts? Then she'll lower their level.
The wildebeest were both excited and apprehensive; they were finally able to escape from the strange cocoon!
But they only wanted to run, not confront Yun Jian, hoping to escape from that woman's grasp later...
However, just as they were about to see the light of day again, before their horses could even lift their hooves, they felt as if they had been slashed in the leg.
All of them were affected; none escaped.
Yun wiped the blood off his knife. "Does this count as a fight?"
Several wildebeests, their legs in so much pain, neighed and cried out to the sky. At the same time, they could sense something different about their bodies.
The fourth brother's excited voice rang out, "Boss, the horned horse has been downgraded to a fourth-class demon beast!"
"Oh, that's good."
Yun Jian sheathed his knife and had the charred corpses drive away the horned horses. Anyway, Lao Si had already figured out the situation on the grassland, so he didn't need these horned horses with eyes on their heads to lead the way.
Just then, the white light flickered and gradually changed.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
The shape of the white light gradually twisted and transformed into the appearance of a person, with a delicate male face slowly emerging.
Then, the man opened his eyes, and his green pupils sent chills down one's spine.
The white light gradually faded, revealing the man's body.
A pair of wings were also hidden behind the man.
Yun Jian looked at him.
White Nose slowly walked towards her. He looked at his hands and smiled with that same silly grin. "I've become human? I'm not a monster anymore!"
White Nose carefully touched White Nose's body, and not feeling any black threads, he took out the knife.
The fourth brother quickly opened his mouth wide to stop him: "Brother Yu, what are you trying to do?"
Bai Yu realized he had made a mistake when he saw his action, and explained, "I wanted to see what was inside his body, whether he had really turned into a human."
Bai Bi simply took Bai Yu's knife and made a small cut on his arm.
Immediately, blue blood gushed out.
Everyone: "..."
Has it turned into a human or not?
Bai Bi looked at it carefully again and again, then looked at Yun Jian with an uncertain expression, "I...I failed to transform?"
Yun Jian rested her chin on her hand. "Take a look at your task panel?"
White Nose quickly opened it as instructed, and everyone else craned their necks to look.
Name: White Nose
Type: Alien Elf
Special Skill: Green Silk
Rating: Unknown
Upon seeing this description, White Nose's face fell instantly. "They're elves, not humans."
He longed to be human.
Bai Yu patted his shoulder and comforted him, "At least you're an elf, not a charred corpse. And look, you have special skills, you look like a human, and you can bleed when you're injured. You're actually no different from a human, it's just a name."
Yun Jian asked, "Is your body still in pain?"
White Nose shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore. It stopped hurting the moment I swallowed the divine flower."
As he spoke, he opened the task panel.
Congratulations on successfully transforming! You are now a little elf, so start your brand new life!
Upon seeing this information, White Nose was slightly disappointed. "I thought that a successful transformation meant becoming human."
With no new tasks, White Nose was momentarily at a loss as to what to do next.
Yun Jian glanced at the sky and said, "Let's find a place to camp first!"
Suddenly remembering something, Yun Jian returned the gunpowder that Bai Bi had dropped to it.
Bai Bi sniffed it, held the gunpowder and took two puffs, his expression subtly changing.
Yun looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
White Nose moved the gunpowder further away and smelled it several times. "I... I don't think I crave gunpowder as much anymore."
He used to be able to inhale it endlessly, but now, after smelling it too much, he even feels a bit nauseous.
He was getting a little annoyed, so he decided to put the gunpowder away.
The other charred corpses gathered around, asking him all at once how he felt.
And what changes occur in the body when the divine flower is swallowed?
White Nose explained everything to them in detail as they walked.
After all the charred corpses had finished questioning and dispersed, White Nose lowered his head and looked at a white pill lying in his palm.
This was a system reward he received after his transformation.
