In a small area outside the Clear Sky Pavilion, a summoning circle appeared from the ground. A few seconds later, an erratic youth walked out. His expression was extremely dark, as if he wanted to strangle someone.
MuffinTop cursed. "I died! Chat, I died!! Twelve elemental wolves, same cave, same howl pattern! They jumped on me as if I was dinner!"
The viewers in chat was laughing their heads off.
"Brother Muffin's luck is god-like!"
"In search of silver, he found gold… guarded by a dragon!"
"Brother is so lucky…. Lol."
MuffinTop had his fists trembling in anger, but he held on his rage.
"Hmph. Although I was defeated, I discovered crucial intel! We've found the spawn point of these monsters! There must be some method of taking advantage!"
With this thought, MuffinTops quickly gathered the other beta players, sharing his own discovery.
BloodEmperor had flashing eyes. "Spawn point? Half a dozen beasts? Tell us more!"
With this, MuffinTop carefully explained the entire event, but he chose to exclude the part of him running away in fear.
The others players looked at MuffinTop with a hint of sympathy, but they were also beaming with excitement, particularly BloodEmperor.
The expert pvp player nodded his head. "Good. Good! Brother Muffin has really outdone himself. This is big!"
Patting MuffinTop several time of his back, BloodEmperor stated: "Since we found the spawn point. We must naturally take advantage! We'll spawn camp those monsters!"
"Ah?! Are you sure brother Blood?"
"Can this really be done?"
"Haha. Naturally this is possible."
With a smile, Blood Emperor explained: "We must lay a trap!"
"A fixed spawn zone… Heh. Old-school strategy. We could camp it. Cut them down as they spawn. Efficiency grind."
However, as soon as Blood said those words he went into an awkward silence… The strategy of spawn camping works in generic games… but in this game it was not possible! Because the monsters were simply too powerful! Not all the players were like brother EdgeLord, able to exchange 100+ blows and leaving unscratched!
Other than brother Edge, all the other players couldn't even kill a single elemental wolf! In this logic, how can they even spawn kill these beasts?! It was akin to walking into a death trap.
All the players grew extremely quiet, even the eager viewers from the live-stream grew silent.
"Why don't we just… don't fight them?"
A player suddenly spoke up.
Everyone turns. A figure with glasses spoke. He was stood near the back of the group, and mostly escaped their attention… until now. His player ID shown: PatchNote.
"Are you crazy?" A player jabbed insult, mocking him. "We have to kill 100 elemental wolves to finish the quest!"
PatchNote was shuffling in his feet, slightly nervous. "We can't fight those monsters! They're much too powerful."
"We know that! So what are you saying?"
"We shouldn't spawn kill the monsters… we should kill the spawn point itself!"
"Ah?"
"What?!
"Is that even possible?"
…
Seeing everyone's skeptical expression, PatchNote explained: "We can make a poison, seal the cave, and kill everything within!"
"This… is this even possible?" BloodEmperor asked, questioning the viability of such a strategy.
"Has the alchemy skill-tree unlocked? Has such a game mechanic already been added to the game?"
BloodEmperor has his own doubts. Although the game has a profound realism, he doubted the game has achieved the so called: 100% reality. They can't just create something out of thin air and the game will accept the item, right?
Seeing everyone's doubts, PatchNote tried to refute. "It doesn't hurt to try. If we can create a deadly poison, not only would it save us time, it will save us countless useless deaths! If we continue trying to kill those monsters through combat, the quest would never be finished in time!"
It was true. Two days has already passed and only 1/100 elemental wolves have been defeated. If things progress like this, the quest has effectively failed! Seeing this, the players came to a collective conclusion: this poison strategy must work!
BloodEmperor nodded his head. "Alright! Then it's settled! Create a deadly poison, and kill those foul beasts!— Search the mountains, and search for a deadly snake with poison!"
The players nodded with determination, but as they were prepared to leave, PatchNote stopped them…
"Ahem… Actually, I've already found the perfect poison…"
Saying this, PatchNote pulled out a weird looking pink flower. "This plant is extremely deadly, and carries a terrifying poison! As long as we find enough, we can make a deadly poison!"
The players looked suspiciously at the innocently looking pink flower. "How are you certain?"
"I sniffed it… then died instantly…"
"…"
Hearing this, all the players jumped back in fear covering their nose. "Are you crazy?! Why did you bring this flower out in the open?!"
"I don't want to respawn. Damn it!"
"Put it away. Put it away!"
…
After the commotion, the players quickly scattered throughout the mountain. They picked all sorts of similarly looking pink flower, being extremely careful when gathering these poisonous plants.
However, some players were skeptical of PatchNote's claim. So they curiously brought the flower to their nose, and gave it a sniff!
For those players that were so foolish… they were sent to the respawn point…
The players quickly flipped the mountain upside down. Some players found the plants at the bottom of a massive tree, another found a small patch of poisonous flowers bathing in the sunlight, and another found the flower near a small waterfall.
No matter where the flower hid, any plants that were remotely pink, or looked poisonous were quickly collected and carried back to the sect.
At the small campsite outside the Clear Sky Pavilion, PatchNote had somehow created a rudimentary alchemy lab! The water drum was converted into a makeshift caldron, the sharp stones were used as chopping knife, and laid out on the ground was countless poisonous plants and herbs.
At this moment, PatchNote was stirring the caldron like an evil witch, and he had a skin-crawling smile. In the caldron, there was a purple goo! Anyone that approached five steps to the caldron could smell a vomit inducing stink!
Some players even fainted after smelling the purple goo! As for why PatchNote didn't die… he covered his nose and mouth with a cloth!
At this moment, PatchNote threw all sorts of funny looking herds in the caldron…
Eh! This herb looks funny? No problem, throw it in!
Oh? You found a poisonous snake? Add it in!
What? You ate a poisonous mushroom, so you brought them to me? Good! Add them to the caldron!
In the end, the caldron emitted such a foul smell that was enough to make anyone feel their intestines twist!
Even PatchNote was struggling against the horrible smell. His legs were shaking, and he could feel his brain passing out! Seeing this, the evil witch was smiling with pride.
"Muahahahah! Elemental wolves, prepared to face my deadly poison!"
