403: Chapter 260: You Can Strike, But It’s Going to Cost More_3 403: Chapter 260: You Can Strike, But It’s Going to Cost More_3 Mu You looked at the task requirents displayed in the ga’s text.

The task required him to eliminate a dozen or so Ratn in exchange for 100 reputation.

While Sunlight Elves’ strength wanes at night, his doesn’t.

The night was his pri ti to complete these combat tasks, so this task was quite fitting for him.

“Accepted.”

Mu You promptly accepted the task and opened his status panel to check his remaining stamina.

Having shopped and explored all the way to Phoenix City, his stamina was almost depleted by six o’clock in the evening.

However, Mu You decided to venture outside of the city to scout.

Nightti was the golden opportunity for him to complete combat tasks, and since he didn’t have spare ti to deal with such chores tomorrow before reentering the city, it would be best to complete the task all at once tonight, stamina be damned.

[You rode a Chocobo out of the city gates and headed towards the U-shaped Mountain Pass…]

The distance of ten miles was covered quickly.

Approximately five minutes later, Mu You arrived at his destination.

[You entered the U-shaped Mountain Pass.]

[The mountain path here is slick and steep.

The valleys are filled with poisonous miasma, so the Chocobo cannot run.

You must proceed on foot.]

After entering the training zone,: his mount was of no use.

So, he had to burn his lifespan to explore on foot.

Luckily, the Ratn weren’t too hard to find.

After burning through four stamina points, the first Ratman appeared.

[You encountered a Ratman Archer carrying a quiver!]

[Ratman Archer (Level 10): Attack power 35-49, defensive power: 5, HP: 2600, magic power: 0, ability: Fla Arrow.]

[The Ratman Archer spotted you, imdiately draw its bow, and fired a explosive Magic Fla Arrow at you.]

It was just a level-10 Ratman.

It posed no difficulty for him.

Mu You directly controlled his character to charge forward.

[You used Phantom Shifting to dodge the Fla Arrow, appearing behind the Ratman and piercing through his bone with the Vampire Claws.]

[You used Life Draining, engaging in a close combat with the Ratman.]

[The Ratman was no match for you, plus continuous draining of his life, his HP swiftly dropped to less than half…]

[The Ratman suddenly broke free and started running away!]

[Ratn might walk on two legs and look vaguely humanoid, but they can’t escape their innate traits.

Once their HP is less than half they will abandon everything to flee.]

“It’s running away?”

Mu You looked on, stunned.

Normally, monsters beco more ferocious as they’re inflicted with more damage.

This was his first encounter with a monster that ran away when its HP dropped by just half.

Not allowing himself a mont’s delay, he quickly clicked the Chain Claws.

[You used the Retractable Claw Chain, catching the fleeing Ratman and pulling him back.]

[You used the Bone-Breaking Knife, slashing the Ratman’s leg.

The Ratman was maid and its movent speed greatly reduced, leaving you to eventually strike it down in its desperation.]

[However, right before it died, the Ratman let out a shrill cry from its mouth.

The sound traveled across the valley, causing echoes throughout the Mountain Pass.]

[The cry is the Ratman’s way of alerting its comrades.

Undoubtedly, other Ratn will co seeking revenge.

Do you choose to leave before you’re surrounded?]

“No!”

It seed like the Ratman had called for reinforcents.

This was just what he wanted.

He would wait for the Ratn to co all at once, so he wouldn’t have to expend his stamina seeking them out one by one.

[You have killed a Ratman.

Lifespan 1, experience points 10, obtained ‘Ratman’s Left Ear’ x1.]

[Ratman’s Left Ear: A useless Ratman material.

Only serves to prove you eliminated a Ratman.]

Mu You casually stashed the material away, summoned his Battle Eagle and Tree-man, and prepared to engage the enemy on the spot.

A few seconds later, new text appeared in the ga.

[You can hear the rustling in the nearby bushes.

It surrounds you, coming from all directions and gradually approaching.]

[Through the eagle’s perspective, you can clearly see countless Ratman Assassins and Ratman Archers.

They are surrounding you from all sides, numbering at least two hundred.]

“Two hundred?”

Mu You’s eyelids twitched.

Didn’t the task requirent say only a dozen or so?

How did so many suddenly show up?

[A great number of Ratman Archers shoot Fla Arrows at you.]

[You instantly go stealthy, trying to escape.

Unfortunately, the barrage of Fla Arrows provides complete coverage.

You can’t avoid them all and your HP evaporates rapidly under the burning flas.]

[You have died, losing 1 lifespan and 10 experience points.]

“Dammit, this is bullshit!”

Mu You couldn’t rember the last ti he died this quickly, and he hurriedly pressed the pocket watch.

However, escaping was futile.

He tried several tis, but each ended with the sa result.

The Fla Arrows inflicted high damage, and their teamwork was impeccable.

Stealth and teleportation didn’t work.

It seems like it was inevitable.

[You respawn at the previous crossroad.

A large number of Ratn in the rear charge towards you again, your choice….]

[You chose to flee imdiately.

That was a wise choice.]

After fleeing from the Mountain Pass, Mu You rode his Chocobo back the way he ca, poised to go and have a word with the Guard Chief.

The difficulty of the task was simply not worth a re hundred reputation points.

[You sprinted all the way back to the outskirts of Phoenix City.]

[Guard Chief Eric saw you return battered and bruised in such a short ti.

He hurried over to ask what happened.

Your choice…]

[You exaggerated everything that happened.]

[Upon hearing this, Eric was shocked.

The reproduction speed of the Ratn far exceeded his imagination.

They must be eliminated as quickly as possible.]

[Eric changed the ti limit of the task to one day and raised the task reward to 200 reputation points.

He asked you to hurry and deal with the Ratn.

Your choice…]

[You flatly refused Eric’s request!]

Of course, he had the ans to deal with over two hundred Ratn, but naturally, he would only act when the rewards were high enough.

The re reward of 200 reputation points wouldn’t even suffice for a beggar.
