Chapter 72 Young Master, You Are Really Good

Brutus' addition to their team did wonders.

Because of this, Thirteen discussed with Cristopher and asked him to prioritize giving Monster Cores to the Troll so that it could become a Rank 2 Monster faster.

Cristopher had no problems with this arrangement. He also wanted to strengthen Brutus as much as possible, so he agreed to Thirteen's Proposal.

The Monster Cores of the three Rank 1 Condors were then given to the Troll, who needed two hundred Beast Cores before he could rank up.

Of course, if they were able to kill Rank 2 Monsters, then it would be better since they gave two points instead of just one.

Thirteen also asked Cristopher what his Quest was because it was the key that would allow the latter to break through the next Rank in the Human Rankings, allowing him to become a Rookie.

In order for the chubby boy to return to Pangea and upgrade his Rank to Rookie, he would first need to complete the mission that was assigned to him by The One.

As the Omnipotent Being that governed all Wanderers, they must all adhere to its rule, and only by doing so would they be able to clear their First Wandering and return home.

"My Quest is to help light the Beacon of Hope," Cristopher said. "It doesn't say anything else aside from that. It seems that I need to discover the clues on my own."

Thirteen nodded in understanding. "All the Wanderers who have been teleported to this land will have the same quest as yours. That's the way The One does things, so it's safe to say that you're not alone in this place."

"... Does that mean that most of them are dead by now?" Cristopher asked.

Cristopher felt as if a whole new world had opened up to him after hearing the young boy's words.

He didn't know how Zion knew where they were and what Monsters were common in the area, but the way he said these words was filled with confidence that Cristopher believed that the boy knew what he was talking about.

"Brutus, start digging," Cristopher ordered.

The Troll grunted and did as it was ordered. It used its bone club to start digging into the ground. Thirteen wasn't idle and paid close attention to their surroundings.

Having eaten Condor Meat, his hunger was sated and his head no longer felt lightheaded, allowing him to think better.

In the distance, the dead bodies of the three condors were huddled together, baking in the desert heat.

When morning came, Thirteen used the Condor Wings to make a makeshift tent to protect them from the heat of the desert.

He also asked Brutus to break the bigger branches off the Poplar Trees and hammer them into the ground so that the Wings could be tied to a supporting structure to hold them up.

With this, the two teenagers were able to feel a little more comfortable as they now had a roof on their heads and a cushy floor made of dried leaves and feathers under their feet.

Thirteen worked Brutus like a slave.

As an Avatar, it didn't need to eat or sleep, but for some reason, it had developed a fear of the little boy, who would constantly give it orders the moment one of its tasks was finished.

Of course, even though it didn't need to eat or sleep, it still had the stamina of an ordinary Troll, so it still got tired.

When this happened, Cristopher would recall Brutus back to his Spatial Storage, allowing the Troll to recover its strength and stamina.

Half a day later, the two boys saw a Yellow Striped Dusk Brute appear in the distance.

It was on its way to the Oasis but immediately stopped after it saw the dead Condors that were huddled together.

Since it was also an opportunistic Monster, it made a beeline towards the dead condors to feast on their flesh.

Thirteen had already collected enough Condor Meat and placed it inside his Spatial Storage to be used as food, so he didn't really care whether the Yellow Striped Dusk Brute ate it all up.

In fact, he'd rather the Monster be full because then it would not shift its attention to two boys, who would only serve as a snack for it.

Cristopher looked at the Monster warily. After all, it was a creature that was something that they couldn't defeat at this time.

But he believed that, given enough time, they would be able to kill it as long as he followed his Young Master's order and raised Brutus' Rank to the next level.
