The first task is relatively simple, still hunting Pigmen, but the number has increased from thirty to one hundred compared to last time. However, the reward has also doubled, offering ten points of random attributes and Divine Stone fragments.
The second task is to traverse through the Pigmen's front line and successfully reach the main battlefield...
The literal meaning is easy to understand, but the specific situation is hard to say. However, the task reward is equally explosive, a permanent increase of 3 points to all attributes, along with Divine Stone fragments.
As for the third task, Bai Ye has a feeling of "as expected." The ultimate mastermind must be the core of the mission. However, after a brief encounter last time, Bai Ye felt that the demon Krumit was not easy to deal with. But the reward was very tempting, with Divine Stone fragments appearing, and as many as fifteen pieces.
And...
"Seven Divine Stone fragments, and no need to compete with each other, it's worth waiting for so long!"
Jiemas stood not far from Bai Ye, also saying excitedly.
"Seven?" Bai Ye showed a look of doubt on his face, then looked at Jiemas and said, "What is your mission?"
Jiemas looked at Bai Ye and said, "What? Didn't you get the hidden mission?"
Bai Ye casually lied, "I did. I just wanted to confirm if everyone had the same mission. Based on my previous guess, the chosen ones should be sent to different war posts, and their missions should also be different."
"Oh!"
Jiemas didn't suspect anything and explained his mission.
The first two tasks were identical to Bai Ye's, but the third task showed a difference.
Jiemas's hidden mission three was, after entering the main battlefield, to participate in killing at least three Pigman generals and thirty Pigman elites.
Because the word "participate" was used, this should be a mission for all chosen ones to work together. They do not conflict with each other and do not require competition. The reward is a random magic weapon and 5 Divine Stone fragments.
It's clear that Bai Ye's hidden mission three is different from everyone else's.
"Is it because I was the first chosen one to arrive in the monster country? Or because I was brought back by Rimuru?"
Bai Ye couldn't help but rest his chin on his hand and ponder.
Bai Ye didn't figure out the reason, but it was clearly a good thing, because Bai Ye's hidden mission three reward was obviously much better.
Of course, the difficulty must also be much higher. Not to mention anything else, Bai Ye felt that Li Jiayi's mission must be to protect the demon Krumit, so he would probably have to fight him again, and Li Jiayi was indeed a formidable opponent.
While Bai Ye was thinking, many chosen ones had already started to act.
The chosen ones did not need to obey Rimuru's orders; they only needed to complete their missions. Therefore, after the missions appeared, they could leave the monster country in advance.
Bai Ye didn't rush to leave. Instead, he stealthily found Shion.
"Sister Shion..." Bai Ye said with a flattering smile, "You've become more beautiful lately."
Shion's skin instantly crawled, and she looked at Bai Ye vigilantly, "What do you want?"
"Nothing," Bai Ye said. "I just want you to help me draw two eggs."
The mission was triggered, and it was time to act. Before setting off, Bai Ye naturally had to draw the capsule toys first.
"Come on!" Bai Ye threw out the capsule toy machine and said, "Show me your life-risking ultimate skill!"
Thinking of the Mera Mera no Mi, Bai Ye couldn't help but want to rely on luck to save his bad luck. Shion didn't care and casually helped Bai Ye spin one, and then...
Bai Ye was stunned.
White capsule...
Great Inventor (Ability): Every hour, you can randomly invent a technological item.
Bai Ye wanted to cry but had no tears. Why are you here again!
As expected, luck can't save the unlucky, and spending money can't change fate.
But...
As Bai Ye was thinking, Shion casually spun again, and a flash of scarlet appeared before Bai Ye's eyes.
Hiss!
Bai Ye gasped, another red capsule!
Bai Ye grabbed Shion's hands and trembled, "Girl, you must have saved the galaxy in your past life, right?"
Shion was confused, while Bai Ye excitedly picked up the capsule toy.
"Devil fruit, devil fruit, devil fruit..."
Bai Ye kept muttering and then opened the capsule toy.
It wasn't a devil fruit, but...
Not bad!
...
"The nation and its people have made me who I am. If I cannot repay them, what kind of person am I?"
Garen (Possession) (Red): Life is endless, battle is eternal. As a proud and noble warrior, he wields a broadsword, clad in heavy armor, and will forever charge fearlessly.
Effects:
Possession (Upon possession, all physical attributes except intelligence are increased by 50 points, with an additional 10% bonus)
Tenacity (When out of combat and unharmed, continuous self-healing of injuries)
Lethal (Slowdown effects are nullified, and movement speed is increased by 35% for 3.5 seconds. The next attack that hits an enemy will silence them, preventing the use of any personal abilities for 1.5 seconds.)
Courage (When you defeat a target, you gain immense courage, and your defense will be increased.)
Judgment (Continuously spins, using dance to attack targets repeatedly, with occasional side effects.)
Justice (Summons Garen to deliver a heavy blow to the target.)
Almost instantaneously, a white radiance enveloped Bai Ye's body.
A moment later, when Bai Ye emerged from the radiance, he was wearing a silver-white, medieval-style Western heavy armor, and holding a greatsword in his hand, with runes carved on both sides of the blade.
Bai Ye moved his body and felt quite good.
Compared to the previous possession by the God of War Lu Bu, this one was clearly a notch lower. After all, one was golden quality and the other was red quality; a difference was normal. However, Garen's possession was still very powerful.
Bai Ye glanced at Rimuru not far away, then smiled, raised his broadsword, and shouted, "Defend the nation!"
The next moment, Bai Ye shouldered the giant broadsword and charged forward.
After leaving the monster country, Bai Ye began to head east.
The map of the Jura Great Forest was sold in the monster country. Everyone had one. As Bai Ye moved forward, he began to confirm his destination.
The territory of the Jura Great Forest was vast and not purely forest. It also included valleys, streams, and a plain in the east.
Task one was easy to understand; just fight the Pigmen. Killing a hundred would complete the task. Bai Ye felt that this task didn't need to be pursued deliberately; as long as he kept moving forward, it should happen naturally. It mainly tested everyone's basic combat ability. With Garen, what was there to be afraid of?
