44 Horned Viper Murderer Slaying Mission

In the school, missions could be done in exchange for contribution points.

Those contribution points could then be exchanged for weapons, materials or even books for students to study.

An opportunity for students to learn the sweet taste of profit.

Missions were then separated and categorized into three main branches:

Slaying/Hunting

Gathering/Harvesting

and Exchanging.

Slaying missions involved students to hunt monsters, beasts, common pests and any anomalies that may threaten the populace.

Gathering missions allowed the students to go in search for precious materials that others may desperately need. This allowed for great interaction between students and socializing skills.

Exchanging is self explanatory.

Instead of searching for a material, you may conveniently already have that material. You can give it to someone who needs that material and can get something else in exchange.

Christian's mission was a Slaying Mission for the Horned Viper Murderer.

Dean heard very few rumors of this mission as it was incredibly unpopular and very tough to solve.

The Horned Viper Murderer had the exact cultivation of Nascent Soul 8 after Dean's estimation for the difference in time and its past cultivation which was at Nascent Soul 7.

It fed on small towns in the very rural areas of Red Wood Academy's domain.

They had yet to solve the problem as they thought students would be able to be responsible and feel a sense of patriotism.

Because of the strength of the beast, the school had thought of a reasonable reward for the students to incite motivation.

In their head, many students would partake on the hunting of the beast which meant the reward would have to be a lot of contribution points.

It was indeed alluring but the outcome was redundant in many senior's minds.

If they used their friend group and included travelling fee, food, water, medical aid and the days they missed school. It was overall a major loss for them.

Dean chuckled at the resolve of what Christian desired but he did not know that he had another goal in mind which was to see the Shadow of the Night.

He was still weary on the fact of Christian's unknown strength had yet to be shown.

What was the reason for his confidence to go against a Spiritual Transformation beast?

The cannon fodder was not reliable as Dean saw many participants run away in fright while others were easily killed.

His escape talisman was also not reliable since the beast's reaction time was faster than what a normal cultivator could imbue the talisman with Qi.

If Christian continued to not show his strength then Dean could only add a few more precautions to all his plans.

Slowly pushing him to the edge would have to have some effect, right?

Dean thought that it would be irresistible for any person to continue faking their personality or strength when they were pushed to borderline of death.

His true potential and personality would be brought out for the world to see.

The high expectation was due to the rumors regarding the Horned Viper Murderer.

Through multiple books, Dean was able to analyse that the Horned Viper Murderer's most notable trait would be the deadly toxins it exudes.

Just breathing the air close to the Horned Viper Murderer would leave most normal people sick like the black plague while long term fights could cause problems to cultivators.

Its poison that drips down its fangs is able to melt through most metals and if done to a cultivator's body... it would have a dangerous effect

Green scales, impenetrable to any sharp blades and nulls the force of blunt weapons.

The beast was one that had a tight defense that only few could get through while having a strong offense that was well paired.

To make matters worse, it had a known arrogance that was hidden in its own genetics.

A crown would be stuck on the Horned Viper Murderer's head as its scales located on the top would begin moving outwards to make strike any animals.

Anything above the waist of the snake was deadly so surely the bottom half would have some weakness, right?

Wrong!

It was still covered in the sturdy green scales that was now entwined by the color of purple but the most deadly part was the tail.

Acting as a royal fan, It was pretty yet also dangerous. Used as a stabbing weapon, it can impale many Martial Artists and for any pesky Magicians, the scales would be launched.

Now that the scales are gone, the defense should have been weaken yet there was a small difficulty that went with it.

Those very scales are able to regenerate at an insane speed meaning Christian would be left with a very small time frame to take advantage of the regeneration.

Dean chuckled at the difficulties Christian was soon to face but more news came.

"Christian took the Rat Pack Slaying Mission"

"Christian took the Spruce Tree Harvesting Mission"

"Christian..."

It seemed that Christian was going to attempt to use the whole of his force in order to raid this mission.

By taking multiple missions, Christian wouldn't suffer too much of a loss once he shares the rewards in a partial manner.

The end result would be that Christian would be able to harvest a suitable carcass from the Horned Viper Murderer that could reinforce the Autarch Society.

Dean instantly saw through what Christian was doing and sighed when he compared it to the Earth Endowing Tortoise.

He wasn't able to use the shell as a weapon or armor because of its sheer size but the only reassurance was the herbs that Leonard was currently using.

"Hmmm, did Anne relay message yet?"

....

"Men, we'll be heading out to the west for 250Km!"

Christian scanned his people as there were only around 50 or so people that would help with accomplishing multiple missions.

He made sure to get a few extra Space Rings from his family to finish the missions.

Eyes glaring at the world with a fiery blaze, Christian desired to earn his reputation back
