Chapter 23: Chicken
Chapter 23: Chicken
Shen immediately checked his inventory and was relieved to see the spear did not drop, "Ah, it does not matter even my item dropped, I can retrieve it back since no one around."
He then realized that he was the only person in this area. No NPC and no other players, he was alone in this remote village.
"But how is that possible" he muttered in a low voice, "Is it another bug?"
Since he experienced the bug from the start of the game, he could not but think so each time he encountered a bizarre encounter, "There's no way, one bug is understandable, but more than one?"
Shen shook his head. This was Sky he was talking about, billions worth corporation. They would not tolerate such a thing to happen to their main product.
"Let's try it again then, maybe it's a boss?" He mumbled as he made his way toward the exit.
Shen exited the village, in the same fashion as before. He ran out of the gate, thinking the beforehand encounter was not normal.
Twenty seconds passed, and he was resurrected again. He died again right after stepping out of the village. His eyes widened wide as his eyeballs almost popped out.
He just could not believe that he died again. While dozing off, he walked out of the village once again. He learned his lesson, he walked slowly and cautiously.
The village he was in was located in the middle of the forest. It was surrounded by tall trees, grassy land, bushes, and more.
Shen went in the same direction, going straight ahead. He walked stealthily so as not to alert the monster that killed him before.
His ears perked up in alert, trying to listen to the steps. After a short walk, he heard steps ahead of him. He approached the tree ahead of him and peeked out.
He found the monster that had been killing him twice. He was killed in two strikes. Yes, this was what shocked him, he died in two attacks.
The one that killed him was the chicken but not just a normal chicken. It was 1.5 meters tall, it had fifty centimeter long arms, and its beak shone like a blade.
The chicken was pecking the ground, tearing apart the grassy land with its beak.
From his spot, Shen peeked out. The black-feathered chicken had not noticed his arrival yet. He frowned, it turned out the chicken was not only big but strong too.
He thought it was just the size that was abnormal. However, he found out that the chicken was not just a normal mob. He died from two pecks of the beak right into his chest.
That was right, two pecks and he died. That was why he was resurrected with a shocked expression, could not believe what he went through.
"This is the start of the game, the monster should not be that strong" Shen muttered as he complained.
He then gazed at the top of the chicken. There was a red bar there. It was the chicken's health point. But that was it, he could not get any information about the chicken unless he landed an attack on it.
"Let's try again, I was too careless before" Shen muttered in a low voice. He believed that early mobsters should not be that strong.
He stepped out of his hiding spot. It was just one step and the chicken was fifteen meters away from him, but it immediately turned its head toward him.
"I haven't used my spear and my skill before, this time I will kill you!!!" With the [Gift Spear] in his hand, Shen activated [Void Step].
The chicken did not care about what he said as it charged toward him as soon as it spotted him.
Shen also ran toward the chicken, but he miscalculated something. The skill, he was not used with the sudden fifty percent boost of speed.
"Oh, f*ck!" He cursed out as he lost control of his speed. He soon crashed against the chicken's chest.
The chicken was surprised too, it took momentarily a step back. Unfortunate for Shen, his reaction was too late. The chicken's hand-like talent grabbed his head.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
With two lightning pecks, his head was burst out open.
Shen resurrected back to the village, he was smiling wryly. He did not expect that the burst movement would work like that, "Dang, this game is too real"
A skill that should become his advantage killed him. But he found out one thing, he had a chance against the chicken.
He walked out of the respawn spot while checking his stamina. Since he was resurrected, his stamina went back full.
"Let's get used to the skill first" he activated the [Void Step] and ran around the village. He then discovered that [Void Step] only increased his speed at the initial burst. It did not increase his speed consistently. His speed would be slowing down to normal if he kept running.
However, Shen found the trick he could use to increase his speed consistently. He just needed to stop right before the duration [Void Step] and run again. By doing this, he got two times the burst movement.
"It's a bit tricky, I need to stop at the right moment" he muttered in a low voice.
He was currently resting to recover his Stamina. It took him nine tries to get used to the skill.
He laid down in front of Yosu's house, facing the sky. The sky had turned dark yellow, the night was about to come. He checked his stamina, 5/100.
Shen was aware that went out in his condition was the same as suicide. He had died many times already. Dying because he ran out of stamina was silly.
He rested for five minutes, his stamina returned to 45. He did not want to go out with just 45 stamina. So he intended to wait until he fully recovered.
Shen got up, he looked toward the house next to Yosu's house. The house with spears crossed each other's symbols, "Does someone like Yosu stay inside?"
He was curious and headed toward the house. Just as he was about to enter the house, he heard a voice in his head, "Don't be greedy, Young'un! You have inherited Yosu's Legacy, why do you still want to get mine too?"
There was a cold female voice that entered his ears. Shen was shocked and immediately turned around. He scanned the surroundings, but he saw no one.
He felt that the voice was coming from behind, he was sure about that. Soon he felt a chill on his spine, and he immediately backed down from the house.
The owner seemed not to welcome him even though he did not eye anything inside. He was just curious what was inside, wondering whether there was another stone statue.
"No, the voice should be real, and it might be a similar stone statue" Soon he realized something. Each house presented a class, and only the classless or someone who had inherited the legacy could enter the house.
Trying to prove his conjecture, he went to Yosu's house. There was no voice or anything that tried to prevent him. He then moved to another house, the house across from Yosu's house.
It was the house with a hammer and an anvil as the symbol. This time, he heard a man's voice, rough and old. It was about the same, he was not allowed to enter the house.
"I see" He finally realized that he was in a hidden village where Legendary Classes gathered, "What if I sell this information to the rich dudes? I can get rich by selling the information"
