So, although Zhang Yanhang felt so regret about the Demonized Mammoth, the degree of regret was actually not very high, certainly much less than that of the Cloud Tiger Shoulder Armor, after all, comparison begets discernnt.

"I don’t know if I can encounter part of the Demonized Saber-toothed Tigers again in the Western Forest before I leave the Ashen World. If possible, then there’s a chance I could gather the remaining five pieces of the incomplete Cloud Tiger Shoulder Armor and upgrade it to the Light Gold Quality Cloud Tiger Shoulder Armor 6.

But right now, what’s more important is to open the treasure box. The issue with the Cloud Tiger Shoulder Armor can be dealt with after cleaning up the Demonized Swamp Zone."

As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he clicked on the first item slot.

[Item One]

[Option One: Prehistoric Giant Beast, D-Level Quality, Talent]

[Option Two: Demonized Life Form (Mammoth), D-Level Quality, Talent]

[Option Three: Demonized Life Form (Emperor Crocodile), D-Level Quality, Talent]

"I didn’t expect the first item option to be related to Talent, which is quite rare. Normally, other options might not matter much, but usually, the first option is firmly occupied by options related to Soul points, after all, a three-fifths chance is relatively high.

The Demonized Mammoth has eighty Soul points in value, which should belong to the rather strong part among Second Tier Two Star monsters since typical Second Tier Two Star monsters are only worth sixty Soul points.

Take, for example, a Second Order One Star Elite Monster like the Goblin Shaman, which is a full twenty Soul points less, equivalent to the gap between a First Tier Three Stars and a Second Tier One Star.

Yet, with such a significant difference, the Racial Talent level of the Demonized Mammoth is still only D-Level. It seems that individual strength within Level may not affect the Talent Level.

Currently, the only factor that might impact the Talent Level is probably the Rank Level, with only monsters of Second Tier Three-Star Power and above able to break through D-Level to attain a C-Level Talent.

Therefore, if I want to acquire a C-Level Initial Talent, there really seems to be no shortcut. I must solidly find a Second Tier Three Stars level monster, at the very least, it has to be an Elite Monster like Maka Bagga, which is of a Second Tier Two Stars caliber."

Although it doesn’t seem possible to find the weakest area where the very least monsters have Second Tier Three-Star Strength now, Zhang Yanhang thinks it’s still very likely after his Promotion to Third Tier.

After all, once promoted to Third Tier, he definitely won’t be hunting any First Tier monsters anymore; he will have to start with Second-tier Monsters and also need to hunt a large number of Third Tier monsters to satisfy the Soul points requirent for Skill Level upgrades.

So, it really is quite likely that I’ll encounter areas where the initial monsters already have Second Tier Three-Star Power. Moreover, Zhang Yanhang also hopes that there will be more monsters in that area, and he’s not asking for much - just a few tis more than Goblin Plain would suffice, just barely a six-figure count.

Although it seems a bit wishful right now, Zhang Yanhang believes that this small additional request shouldn’t be difficult to fulfill, after all, based on his current experience, the stronger the monsters, the larger the area tends to be, and naturally, the larger the area, the more the number of monsters.

Therefore, considering this, an area where the initial monsters are of Second Tier Three Stars quality should at least cover several thousand square kiloters. In such a large area, even with a six-figure count of monsters, that averages very few monsters per square kiloter - they’d be quite sparse, even more so than in the Demonized Swamp.

To achieve a monster density like in Raccoon City or Goblin Plain, far more than just barely in the six figures would be needed - at least several hundred thousand monsters to roughly fill that area.

If such an extensive area truly exists, cleaning it might take quite so ti, but the potential Soul points gain could be enough to fund upgrading all my Skills to Original LV.MAX.

However, considering this seems a bit unrealistic, that’s why Zhang Yanhang only asks for just barely a six-figure count of monsters, which is already challenging enough to achieve.

[Item Two]

[Option One: Demonized Mammoth’s Ivory Tusk (one piece), Blue Quality, Material]

[Option Two: 400 Soul points]

[Option Three: 800 Soul points]

"Although the first option was about Talent, the second item option rightly includes ones related to Soul points, or rather, to materials.

I didn’t expect this ti the material would turn out to be the ivory of the Demonized Mammoth, but this material, which has no practical combat value aside from decoration, is useless to . It would have been better to find a nose instead.

At least Elephant Tusk, along with cal hump, bear paw, monkey brain, gorilla lip, leopard fetus, rhinoceros tail, and lion milk, is one of the renowned ’Eight Delicacies from the Mountains and Seas’ in the Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

But thinking about it, I have already been Fasting for half a month now. Even if Elephant Tusk really turned up, it would be of no use to , and besides, if I really wanted to eat it, I could just eat it fresh - how much fresher could it be?"

Zhang Yanhang was sitting on top of a Demonized Mammoth - the very sa one that earlier swung flowers with its trunk. It had just been slain less than a minute ago, which is almost no different from munching on it when it was alive and well.

Under normal circumstances, however, Zhang Yanhang really doesn’t have much appetite. He might have grilled so Crimson Iron Ant at when he was at First Tier, but after the Promotion to Second Tier, not eating does not affect his body, and besides, Zhang Yanhang suspects that this Grain avoidance ability seems to suppress his appetite to so extent.

So, usually, eating is indeed nothing more than a re waste of ti for him, and of course, Zhang Yanhang is also a bit particular.

He could stomach eating a mammoth leg, but Elephant Tusk, which is always runny with mucus and most likely includes snot, was a bit much for him to accept. He finds it hard to imagine what thought process must go through a normal person’s mind to want to eat such a thing.

Speaking of Demonized Mammoth’s Elephant Tusk, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but rember the last ti he hunted a Demonized Saber-toothed Tiger. Compared to Elephant Tusk, the Tiger penis, although not a delicacy, was sought after much more than most rare delicacies.

Zhang Yanhang couldn’t quite understand this point either. After all, although a tiger’s mating period lasts an entire week, involving hundreds of copulations, each act rarely exceeds a minute, sotis just a dozen seconds and at most half a minute. Maybe the total amount of ti spent copulating in a week doesn’t even surpass that of one normal copulation for other animals.

From this aspect, rather than consuming tiger penis, Zhang Yanhang felt that eating more dog penis might be better, at least dogs copulate for half an hour. Logically, it should replenish more than tiger penis, and unlike tiger penis, even if the quality of dog penis might not be great, one can make up for it in quantity.

Plus, sourcing dog penis was convenient and quick; one could directly purchase it from a dog at shop. To regularly consu tiger penis, he would have to go to Russia or South Asia where one could directly buy it from stores.

"Sigh, I’ve unexpectedly started thinking about these weird parts, and now I suddenly really feel like eating dog at. So, the question is, the demonized maned beast, as a prehistoric creature that looks very much like a hyena, does it count as a dog?"

Zhang Yanhang recalled that although hyenas have the word ’dog’ in their na, they are actually not closely related to dogs at all, but instead have a close genetic relationship with felines and are therefore classified under the cat family.

By this logic, if even a hyena is not a dog, then the demonized maned beast which only resembles it in appearance is even less likely to be a dog. As soon as he thought about the fact that the demonized maned beast wasn’t a dog, Zhang Yanhang imdiately lost interest in it because he only wanted to eat genuine dog at.

[Item Three]

[Option One: 80 Soul Points]

[Option Two: Demonized African Elephant, Green quality, Pet]

[Option Three: 800 Soul Points]

"The third item turns out to be related to soul points again? I originally thought that since the first item was related to Talent, it was very likely that the third item would be related to equipnt. Speaking of which, I wonder what attributes the new equipnt will enhance."

If possible, Zhang Yanhang hoped that the new equipnt’s additional attribute enhancents would still relate to the Constitution Attribute, such as Physical Recovery Speed Bonus, Physical Recovery Speed Bonus, and Physical Recovery Speed Bonus.

Although Zhang Yanhang had already achieved a work-rest ratio of three to two, he was not satisfied. His next minor goal was a seven to four work-rest ratio.

Such a minor goal wasn’t really hard to achieve. If this ti he could get a new piece of equipnt related to Physical Recovery Speed Bonus from the demonized mammoth’s drop treasure box, then this minor goal should be directly accomplished.

Then he could directly move on to the next minor goal, which was a two to one work-rest ratio—working sixteen hours but only needing to rest eight hours, a system Zhang Yanhang wished to call the 168 work regi.

However, it’s a pity that although the seven to four is quite possible, the two to one work-rest ratio doesn’t really have much of a chance. There might be so possibility after promoting to the third tier, but within the second tier, it’s indeed not very feasible.

Moreover, compared to the 168 work regi of the two to one work-rest ratio, what Zhang Yanhang really needed to worry about was whether he could achieve the seven to four work-rest ratio.

Although theoretically, it shouldn’t be too hard, that is predicated on whether equipnt related to the Physical Recovery Speed Bonus can be obtained from this treasure box.

If this ti the demonized mammoth’s drop treasure box doesn’t yield equipnt related to the Physical Recovery Speed Bonus, then completing this minor goal might beco difficult.

After all, even if the drop treasure boxes from the demonized four-eyed wild boar and the Lord Monster demonized four-eyed wild boar queen Pei Qi could produce equipnt with Physical Recovery Speed Bonus, it’s quite likely that the bonus might not be significant enough to achieve the seven to four work-rest ratio.

Besides, there is a high probability that equipnt related to the Physical Recovery Speed Bonus won’t be found in the drop treasure boxes of the demonized four-eyed wild boar and the Lord Monster demonized four-eyed wild boar queen Pei Qi.

Therefore, achieving the seven to four work-rest ratio isn’t as easily attainable as it seems, and he feels that in the end, achievents might need to cover the shortfall, but whether achievents can cover it, that’s a whole other issue.

"Compared to the previous demonized maned beast and demonized hyena, demonized canine giant ape and demonized silver-backed gorilla, demonized emperor crocodile and demonized bay crocodile, and demonized saber-toothed tiger and demonized Bali tiger, this ti the relationship between the demonized mammoth and the demonized African elephant finally seems sowhat closer, at least there is indeed a certain genetic relationship.

Although modern African elephants and mammoths don’t look too similar in appearance, because there are far fewer mbers of the elephant family than other animals, they indeed have a much closer relationship than other animals. However, as close as the genetic relationship might be, I couldn’t possibly choose an elephant as a pet. It’s not like I am Indian."

Even a genuine demonized mammoth could be killed by Zhang Yanhang with a single punch, let alone a modern, weaker demonized African elephant. It really doesn’t have any value as a pet.

Of course, the main reason is that he doesn’t really like elephants, or perhaps it would be strange if he did like them, because he has always preferred those fluffy animals. So, a genuine mammoth with thick fur might be acceptable, but he couldn’t get himself to like the modern, hairless type of elephants.

[Item Four]

[Option One: Exotic Ivory Scimitar, Blue quality, Weapon]

[Option Two: 400 Soul Points]

[Option Three: 800 Soul Points]

"Hmm? The fourth option turns out to be related to soul points again? It seems that this ti the equipnt-related option will co last.

So, here’s the question, why is this weapon called the Exotic Ivory Scimitar?"

Zhang Yanhang wasn’t particularly surprised about the part involving the ivory scimitar; after all, although ivory isn’t really suited for making weapons due to its material properties, it still looks quite nice. It’s perhaps not great for actual combat, but as a ceremonial weapon, it’s excellent. Many nations in ancient tis would make weapons out of ivory and then inlay them with gold and various jewels and precious stones. And since they were so embellished, they were clearly for showing off hung at the waist, definitely not for practical use, as repairing them if they were damaged would be very troubleso.

So, since ivory weapons are actually quite common, what truly puzzled Zhang Yanhang were the words ’Exotic’ in front of the ivory scimitar.
