EBE Chapter 51 The Totem Tiger is Truly Fierce
Chapter 51 The Totem Tiger is Truly Fierce
At the edge of his own territory, Wang Jue took out a [Territory Fragment] that looked like a card. Then, with a thought, the card transformed into a ray of light, covering a small patch of chaotic starry sea, and finally turning into a small piece of green land.
The fence automatically extended and moved to the edge of the newly appeared land.
On that small patch of green grass, a saber-toothed tiger was lying.
"Ding! Territory consolidation successful!"
"Ding, the territory you have pieced together is about 66 square meters, and there is an ancient three-star unit, the saber-toothed tiger, on it."
Wang Jue looked at the saber-toothed tiger. Unlike before, this time the general skill [Reconnaissance] came into play. In his vision, a string of text appeared above the saber-toothed tiger's head: "Saber-toothed Tiger: Three-star Ancient Unit!"
"It comes with a saber-toothed tiger, interesting!"
At this moment, Wang Jue received another system notification: "Ding, a confused saber-toothed tiger has been detected. Do you wish to recruit it?"
"Ding! The current recruitment success rate is 60%. If recruitment fails, a battle will be triggered immediately."
Wang Jue narrowed his eyes, did not respond to the system, but instead flicked his arm and moved the mysterious scarecrow next to the saber-toothed tiger with a thought.
The mysterious scarecrow is a defensive tower that automatically identifies enemies. In its judgment, the "Confused Saber-toothed Tiger" is an enemy, so its twelve eight-meter-long tentacles immediately start waving.
Each of the twelve tentacles seemed to have its own independent consciousness, launching an attack together with considerable power.
Wang Jue quickly discovered that the mysterious scarecrow's tentacles could not only whip like a long whip, but also entangle and bind its target like octopus tentacles.
The bewildered saber-toothed tiger encountered a monster, and although it was powerful enough, it was still beaten quite badly by the attack of twelve tentacles.
A moment later, Wang Jue called a halt to the attack of the mysterious scarecrow.
"Beat this guy half to death; it might make recruiting him easier."
Wang Jue muttered something to himself before responding to the system and selecting to recruit the saber-toothed tiger.
"Ding, recruitment successful. The three-star ancient unit Saber-toothed Tiger has joined your territory. Its current loyalty is 60%."
When Wang Jue heard the system notification, he saw the saber-toothed tiger, half-dead from being ravaged, roar to the sky and then limp toward him.
"Not bad, another three-star soldier!"
Wang Jue quickly took out hemostatic powder and wound medicine, and used them on the saber-toothed tiger. Its injuries were immediately healed, and its fur became shinier.
"I happen to have two hundred soul points left, so I might as well give this three-star saber-toothed tiger some pointers!"
Wang Jue was a little hesitant to select any more high-star heroes, but he felt that the saber-toothed tiger had come at just the right time.
"Last time, I made a mistake in my guidance and turned the saber-toothed tiger into a gluttonous, lazy, bullying, and cowardly fat cat. This time, we must learn from our mistakes! Of course, the first step is to give it a name and turn it into a hero unit."
After a moment's thought, Wang Jue activated [Infinite Guidance] and said to the saber-toothed tiger, "Good tiger, today I bestow upon you the name 'True Valor,' hoping you will fight giant beasts, hunt ancient creatures, be brave and fearless, and be invincible!"
"Ding! Guidance successful! The saber-toothed tiger, enlightened by your guidance, has gained the name 'True Valor.' True Valor has fought giant beasts, hunted ancient creatures, and diligently practiced mixed martial arts against ferocious beasts, constantly honing its combat skills. After two and a half years of training, it has grown into a three-and-a-half-star hero, [Ancient Beast - True Valor]!"
"Ding! Your saber-toothed tiger has evolved into [Ancient Beast - True Valor], its skill [Beast Mixed Martial Arts] has been enhanced, and its loyalty has increased by 10!"
"Smooth!"
Wang Jue looked at the enormous saber-toothed tiger ahead, its fur gleaming and its eyes fierce and menacing, and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he used [Infinite Guidance] again, saying to it, "Last time I guided the saber-toothed tiger, fearing he would get hurt, I had him hunt small animals. As a result, he turned into a cowardly, bullying ancestral giant cat. You can't do that again. You need to find powerful ancient beasts to fight, be fearless and undaunted, and diligently practice beast combat techniques, understand?"
"Ding, guidance successful! The ancient beast, Zhen Meng, has gained enlightenment thanks to your guidance. Passionate about battle and unafraid of powerful enemies, it has diligently honed its beast combat skills over two and a half years, becoming savage, bloodthirsty, and violently tyrannical!"
"One day, Zhen Yongmeng encountered an ancient lobster, fought and defeated it, and improved his mixed martial arts skills against wild beasts."
"One day, Zhen Yongmeng encountered an ancient giant Death Mantis, fought and defeated it, and improved his mixed martial arts skills."
"One day, Zhen Yongmeng encountered an ancient pterosaur, fought and defeated it, and improved his mixed martial arts skills against wild beasts."
"One day, Zhen Yong encountered an ancient megalodon and wished he could jump into the water and fight it!"
"One day, Zhen Yongmeng encountered an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex, fought and defeated it, and his beast fighting skills improved!"
"One day, Zhen Yongmeng encountered a Tyrannosaurus Rex, fought and defeated it, leaving a scar on his face. He dragged the Tyrannosaurus Rex's carcass for thirty miles, ate its flesh for three days, and swaggered around in triumph, having mastered the art of mixed beast fighting!"
"When the indigenous people of a tribe saw that Zhen Yongmeng was truly brave, powerful, and invincible, they were filled with fear and prostrated themselves in worship. Zhen Yongmeng was then blessed with strange power and mutated into the [Totem Tiger - Zhen Yongmeng]!"
"Ding! [Ancient Beast - True Valor] has mutated into a four-star [Totem Tiger - True Valor]. [Beast Mixed Martial Arts] has been upgraded to Grandmaster level. New skill [Ancient Totem] has been added. Loyalty +10!"
Before Wang Jue, the once majestic and powerful ancient beast, the saber-toothed tiger, rapidly transformed. Its size became comparable to that of a rhinoceros, and a huge scar appeared on its face, running down the center of its forehead. There was a row of bead-like protrusions above its eye sockets, and its fur was a mixture of blue, red, white, yellow, and black, making it appear multicolored.
"A four-star totem tiger? Was it that smooth?"
Wang Jue quickly checked Zhen Yongmeng's information panel.

"He looks promising; he's a capable general!"
Wang Jue was in a good mood. After sending the totem tiger Zhen Yongmeng to fight on the city wall, he returned to the Transcendent Bookstore and created "The Chronicles of Martial Arts Heroes: Jianghu Heroes," burying himself in writing.
Wang Jue only left the bookstore after a system notification appeared indicating the appearance of another strange species.
The strange creature that appeared this time was still the [Fire Duck Committee Member]. When Wang Jue saw it, it was already almost killed by Zhen Yongmeng.
Wang Jue quickly called a halt, then gathered a group of beggars to beg, and had Committee Member Huoya give away all the odds and ends he had.
However, unlike before, this time among the items he gave away, the duck-head megaphone was a non-functional decoration, while the small wooden box was a system item with a function.
It is 40 cm long, 20 cm high, and 10 cm thick. It is a storage tool with 10 storage compartments and can be stored in the storage space.
After killing the second [Fire Duck Committee Member], Wang Jue obtained three more low-level recruitment vouchers.
"Unfortunately, there are no barracks in the territory that produce three-star units, so I'll have to save these recruitment vouchers for now."
Wang Jue accepted the low-level recruitment vouchers, allowing his subordinates to fight freely, and then returned to the Transcendent Bookstore to continue writing.
As time passed, the duck-killing competition gradually came to an end. In the Transcendent Bookstore, the serialized novel "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes: The Strange Swordsman of the Jianghu," featuring Bafang Bubai as the protagonist, had already been written by Wang Jue for more than 15,000 words. The plot had progressed to the point where Bafang Bubai had developed his unique throwing knife.
Let's stop here for now!
Wang Jue uploaded his work and quickly received a system notification: "Ding, the work has passed the review. A three-volume serialized version has been generated and added to the martial arts bookshelf. The content of the work is excellent. The system has rated the territory's culture attribute as +1!"
"Ding, there is currently more than one serialized work in the Transcendent Bookstore. Please keep updating. If the work is abandoned or left unfinished, the corresponding territory's cultural attributes will be reduced."
Holy crap!
Wang Jue shrank his neck upon hearing this.
"Can't it be abandoned or left unfinished? Is this even allowed in a game? Luckily, I'm not afraid of failing here..."
Wang Jue smiled, and then received a system notification: "Ding, system notification: The Duck Killing Competition event has been running for 23 hours. Fallen Fire Ducks will no longer spawn in any player's territory. Instead, one Fire Duck will be released for damage testing."
"Ding, system notification: The Data Fire Duck is set to be a ground-walking unit. It will appear due south of the player's territory and will traverse the player's territory for damage testing. Once the damage test value reaches the target, it will drop an Easter egg item reward. Please explore on your own for details."
"Ding, the damage test has ended. The rewards for the Duck Slaughtering Contest will be displayed and the event merchant will be available."
