Chapter 127: 127 Impossible Task [First Update]
Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Impossible Task [First Update]
Ghost Rabbit finished speaking and even blinked his big eyes.
Yi Zheng said, “Limp Bird?”
Ghost Rabbit replied, “That’s right, it only has one leg now, walking is a real pain for it. But there is a bit of difficulty, which is that it can breathe fire. Do you have a problem with that?”
As soon as Yi Zheng heard that the other party could breathe fire, he suddenly wasn’t so scared anymore. He had a Skill extracted from the Zombie King that just happened to enhance Flame Resistance. Moreover, considering the Level 20 mission issued by the system definitely had a limited difficulty, he was very confident in his own Attributes.
“Any other questions?” asked Ghost Rabbit.
Yi Zheng responded, “Listening to you, it doesn’t seem very difficult, but since it’s a mission you selected for me…”
Ghost Rabbit assured with a heartfelt expression, “Don’t worry.”
Yi Zheng nodded firmly, “I refuse.”
The smile on Ghost Rabbit’s face froze immediately, “Refuse?”
Yi Zheng explained, “I think you’re unreliable, so I refuse. Unless you show me the other two missions and let me compare them before deciding.”
Ghost Rabbit argued, “Didn’t I tell you? I helped you filter those two out. They’re just… gone.”
“I don’t believe it! I haven’t chosen yet, how can you make the decision for me?!” Yi Zheng shook his head.
Ghost Rabbit pleaded earnestly, “Ah, I just didn’t want you to take risks. Why don’t you trust the words of an elder, you brat?”
“Ding! Promotion mission: Dragon Slaying, do you accept?”
“Ding! Promotion mission: Slaughter City, do you accept?”
Seeing these two newly popped-up notifications, Yi Zheng’s face turned green. He jumped up and exclaimed, “Holy shit, these are Level 20 promotion missions? Are you sure?”
Ghost Rabbit shrugged, “You ask me, but who do I ask? The missions given by the system are like this! I told you I filtered out the easiest one for you, and you still don’t trust me… I, as a grandfather, worried my heart out for you, and yet, I’m still doubted by you. I’m so heartbroken.”
As Ghost Rabbit spoke, it clutched its chest with a look of deep sorrow, almost on the brink of crying.
Unfortunately, Yi Zheng didn’t feel a shred of sympathy for it, but instead was mulling over the difficulty of Dragon Slaying, Slaughter City, and stealing bird feathers, which seemed to be the simplest after all.
Although Yi Zheng always had a feeling that Ghost Rabbit was unreliable, he still said, “Alright, I’ll trust you for now. If you dare to deceive me, I…”
“Will dig out my bones and scatter my ashes, right? I finished the sentence for you, okay?” said Ghost Rabbit.
Yi Zheng shook his head, “You’ve got it wrong, I meant I would throw your bones in a pot and make soup out of them!”
Ghost Rabbit: “…”
Ahem, Ghost Rabbit said, “Relax, you’re my dear grandson, how could I betray you? Listen to your grandpa’s advice, and live… cough cough, a happy life.”
“Ding, promotion mission: A simple task, do you accept?”
Yi Zheng took a deep breath and clicked accept.
Ghost Rabbit smiled happily, “That bird is on Zhang’e Mountain, quite a distance from here. I have a Spirit Talisman for you to take with you. In a moment I’ll send you over, remember where you land. Once you’ve got the feather, you’ll return to that spot, light the Spirit Talisman, and I’ll teleport you back.”
As Yi Zheng listened, he had a vague bad feeling.
In the game world, the farther from the Main City, the stronger the monsters become, and by the sound of it, Ghost Rabbit seemed to indicate that place was very far indeed!
Otherwise, there would be no need for teleportation.
The strength of that monster?
Yi Zheng didn’t have much chance to think as Ghost Rabbit flashed a grin at him, “Dear grandson, have fun and farewell!”
A golden light fell, and Yi Zheng vanished.
The next moment, at the foothills of a towering mountain, on a large rock, a beam of golden light fell, and a rabbit appeared on it.
Yi Zheng looked around and was immediately stunned by the sight before him.
The mountain in front of him soared into the clouds; the vast mountain range was endless at a glance, with rugged rocks and ancient trees reaching up to the sky. There were strange calls from monkeys in the mountains, roars of monsters from the peaks, and miasma and murderous aura filled the air!
Such a mountainous terrain, if placed in “Journey to the West,” even Monk Tang would recognize that there were demons on this mountain!
“Damn it, looks like I’ve been duped,” Yi Zheng murmured, as the system’s prompt tone sounded in his ear.
“Ding! Level-Up Quest: A simple task has been initiated, click to view details.”
Yi Zheng clicked to view the details and a paragraph of text appeared before him.

Even a fool like Yi Zheng understood he’d been had when he read this far!
“Ghost Rabbit, I curse your grandma’s leg! Limp bird, isn’t Bifang a one-legged creature!” Yi Zheng cursed loudly into the sky, his words echoing through the mountains. Then, a chorus of roars from wild beasts rose one after another from the woods as if responding to Yi Zheng’s curses.
“Yell at your grandpa! You want a fight!” Yi Zheng shouted back.
Then, a rumble of footsteps came from the mountain. Yi Zheng immediately became a coward, hurriedly donned the Dark Moon Mask, activated the Light Mask Skill, and in an instant, all his equipment was hidden, and he turned into a naked little baldy with fur all over, his Attribute changed to that of a neutral small animal, and then he squatted in a corner with an innocent look, quietly munching on grass.
The next moment, a huge beast, like a wild ox, charged over. This fellow was at least three meters tall and four to five meters long, its body wrapped in heavy armor like steel, charging straight through, wildly aggressive.
Yi Zheng sneakily cast an Identification Skill.
“Ding! Level is more than ten levels above yours, unable to identify.”
Roar!
With another roar, a giant ape suddenly leaped out, knocking down the huge beast with a stick. After smashing it twice more, it killed the creature and dragged it away.
“Damn it…” Yi Zheng finally realized the seriousness of the situation. A random little monster was a bunch of question marks, and those question marks were easily killed by another set of question marks.
How terrifying must the monster levels here be?
“Is it Ghost Rabbit that duped me, or the system? Is this a Level 20 Level-Up Quest? This is more like a reincarnation quest, right?” Yi Zheng wailed inside.
What was done was done, wailing was of no use now.
Yi Zheng gathered his emotions and began to consider how to complete this quest.
“Fighting head-on is probably not going to work; I need to find another way,” Yi Zheng was thinking when suddenly a shadow passed overhead. Looking up, he saw a giant bird flying across the sky. The giant bird noticed Yi Zheng but immediately looked away, as if it saw roadside weeds, completely unconcerned.
Yi Zheng pulled out a carrot and stuffed it into his mouth, thinking, “Right, I’m harmless! I’m a neutral Wild Monster! As long as I don’t cause trouble…”
While Yi Zheng was mulling over this, he suddenly sensed something silently appearing behind him, and that thing was staring at him! In an instant, his fur stood on end!
What do you think?
