Chapter 517
Norwich smiled as he looked at Eugene: “You will have to ask your captain . ” He handed the scroll to Ian: “These is the pattern of the mysterious footprint and records of the task . I think there is no need to talk about the rest of the rules . ”
“Yes . ” Ian took the scroll . He opened it after Norwich left .
Rube, Eugene, Luna and others looked into the scroll . Dean saw a ‘Y’ shaped footprint . The front parts of the footprint were forked . The rear part of the foot seemed shorter and was meant to control the balance .
The front part of the paws were about seventy centimeters long while the rear part of the foot was thirty centimeters long . The total length of the feet was about 1 . 1 meters which was equal to half the length of a normal human . The width of the foot was about 6 centimeters while the feet had gone 3 centimeters deep into the ground .
“Martin, what do you think about the footprint?” Ian looked at Martin .
Martin stared at the pattern for a moment: “I have never seen but from the type of its claw it seems like a crawling type monster . Most probably it’s a cold-blooded monster that likes to live in damp places like marshes… ”
Eugene was curious: “Why a crawling monster? Isn’t that a claw?”
Martin’s brows wrinkled as he looked at the ignorant rookie . He was impatient and they had to implement the task . So he was too lazy to care about Eugene . He said in a cold tone: “If you think about the measures then its an upright type monster if not a crawling one . However, its height and size should be very large . Otherwise the footprints won’t be so shallow . ”
Eugene nodded as he understood what Martin meant .
Ian stared at the footprints for a while then put away the scroll . He looked at the group: “Time is pressing and we have to make sure that are equipment are ready for us to start . Remember to make sure that supplies that you take are without a flaw . If we can find the mysterious footprints then the additional task could be completed . However it may take a long time and our supplies won’t be able to provide us with enough nutrition . ”
“Yes . ”
All of them went back to their rooms to wear their equipment .
Dean and Eugene had received the basic equipment . It was a dark black armor which was made of metal and plastic . It was firmly wrapped around their bodies . There were small sparkling crystals embedded on wrist, collar, knees and other places .
Dean had seen Hailey use a similar crystal . This meteorite was able to isolate the high-intensity radiation for great extent .
In addition to basic armor both of them received basic weapons . Dean had reported his occupation as an archer so he had received a bow . The bow was silver in color and was very sharp at both ends . Bow string was colored dark red which seemed to be taken from some animal .
Although all of it were basic weapons but all of them were very powerful .
They were given a black backpack for their supplies . It was make out of some material which was waterproof . There were twelve food boxes and two bottles of pure water .
Dean calculated that the supplies was enough for a primary limitless to eat and drink for twelve days . They could maintain themselves with this food for half a month if they saved a bit on daily basis .
Dean didn’t care too much about food . After all, he had spent 3 years to train as a scavenger . He knew how to find food and water outside the wall . However, hunters, limitless and pioneers didn’t “waste” their time to learn such things . They would normally use their time to enhance their strengths and learn combat arts . It would make sure that their would complete their tasks faster .
Moreover, if it was about survival… no matter how you struggled it didn’t matter a lot if you met a strong monster .
Everyone was ready .
Dean saw Ruby carry a huge luggage . IT was full of water and food . The amount of food and water Ruby was carrying was comparable to the sum of the food all of them had .
Dean understood that Ian was planning to stay outside the giant wall for a long time . However, if all the team members carried too much food then they would slow down . So instead they were making a team work .
The primary responsibility of Ruby was to keep food and water while the other were going to fight .
It made team more efficient .
All of them met outside to leave the dragon clan .
Ian brought horses trained by the dragon clan and they began to ride towards the giant wall .
“Captain, how long are we going to stay outside the giant wall? When are we going to come back?” Eugene asked Ian .
Ian replied: “The reward of the main task is 700 points . If we can’t complete the main task then we will be deducted 700 points . Almost 100 points a person!”
“100 reward points isn’t much! We are implementing such a dangerous task and will get 100 points per person! The ones in the upper echelon are too stingy!” Eugene complained .
Ian turned to look at him: “100 reward points is pretty good and can be exchanged for a lot of things . ”
Eugene looked at the dagger at Ian’s waist: “What about your knife?”
Ian smiled: “This one is called “bloodsucker” . It was made out of front teeth of a level 52 monster . I paid like 850 reward points for it . ”
“That much?” Eugene asked in a staggered tone: “What’s so special about that knife? Can it cut through iron as if slicing the butter? My knife would be able to do that too . ”
Ruby turned towards him and rolled his eyes when he saw Eugene act so ignorant: “Your knife won’t be able to cut through any monster that is above level 50! The skin and scales of those monsters are much sturdier than iron! A claw attack from such a monster would be more than enough to break that knife of yours! Do you understand what I mean?”
Eugene was stunned at his words and almost choked .
Dean was riding at the back . Eugene was a rookie like him too but it seemed as if… Eugene had never been outside the giant wall and didn’t understood how the battles happen .
“Yes, captain . ” Eugene asked another question out of curiosity: “Why didn’t Norwich tell us about first and second task?”
Ian didn’t even turn his head: “Those two tasks are permanent tasks and never change . The first one is to find relics! Or find location and coordinates of those relics! It would be enough to get great contributions!”
“The second task is to collect a plant called ‘dragon grass’ . It is the favorite meal of the dragon worm so each dragon grass can be exchanged for ten reward points . ”
Eugene was surprised: “What are relics? Are they monuments? Are they in the ruins?”
Ian said: “Of course not! The ruins have been scrapped and even the broken copper have been taken away . However, there are relics which are hidden underground or in some mountains which are not damaged by the rain or corrosion . ”
