Chapter 7: The Stealing System That Steals All Things, The Thunder God's Dream
He had killed more than twenty Five-Legged Flame Lizards in about half an hour.
The Beast Tide had ended then, and the last Five-Legged Flame Lizard had also passed through the oasis and ran into the distance.
William looked at the pile of twenty-six Five-Legged Flame Lizards' corpses on the ground and smiled in satisfaction.
"What a great harvest."
William began to steal from them.
"Ding! Mutated species found! Stealing... stealing successfully."
A large, red, shriveled hand appeared in front of William once again. There was a green ball of light in his palm and a panel beside it.
[ Poison Immune Physique (E-Class): This five-legged flame lizard had accidentally eaten a special fruit. From then on, its body gained immunity to poison, but it also lost its ability, Listen in the Wind. Its personality has become strange.]
[ Host, you can gain poison immunity physique if you choose to fuse.]
"Mutated?"
William looked at the special Five-Legged Flame Lizard and was a little surprised. No wonder it looked different from the other Five-Legged Flame Lizards, and it would easily fall into a rage state, often pushing the other Five-Legged Flame Lizards.
So it was mutated.
Such mutated Endowed Supernatural Ability was one in a ten thousand.
Moreover, William also discovered that [ Poison Immunity ] was to transform one's physique, not just ability.
However, the Stealing System could still steal it.
That was powerful. Did this mean that the Stealing System could not only steal Endowed Supernatural Abilities, but also steal more things, such as physique, lifespan, luck, and even the rules of this world!
"Looks like this Stealing System is far more powerful than I thought. I'll have to study it carefully in the future."
William chose to fuse his physique after muttering to himself.
The green ball of light flew out from the giant hand and turned into countless tiny cubes, fusing into William's body.
William could feel that he was changing as the [ Poison Immunity ] continued to fuse into his body. All the hairs on his body stood up.
However, there was no poison at the moment. Otherwise, William wanted to try the consequences he would experience after he ate the poison.
"Not bad. In the future, I can walk freely in the poisonous wilderness if I have the opportunity to collect more [ Poison Immunity]. Would I be able to casually release a series of lightning if I can steal the ability related to lightning?"
William thought for a moment and then laughed at himself. He felt that he was too greedy. After all, mutated beasts were rare. It was already lucky that he could encounter one. He could only continue to go deeper into the wilderness if he still wanted to hunt.
"I can go deeper into the wilderness when my strength increases in the future. But I don't need to hunt Five-Legged Flame Lizards anymore by then. I can find some more powerful and special monsters."
William used the sharpness of the arrows to peel off the skin of each Five-Legged Flame Lizard. Then, he dug out his bag from the bushes and folded each skin before putting it into his bag. These were treasures that could be sold for a good price.
Some people used it to make leather armor besides making the unique patterns on The Five-Legged Flame Lizard's skin into decorations. A complete piece of skin could be sold for five thousand copper coins.
There were twenty-six pieces with him. And there were thirty-six complete pieces of skin, including the ten pieces that he had killed before. They could be sold for one hundred and eighty thousand copper coins.
It would be eighteen thousand coins if converted to silver coins. And it would be eighteen hundred gold coins if converted to gold coins.
It was enough for a family to do nothing and live a good life for ten years with so many gold coins.
"The wilderness is full of opportunities as expected."
William could not help but sigh. After all, the Five-Legged Flame Lizard was only the lowest level of monsters. Slightly stronger adventurer teams could set traps and kill it, and only newbies would be killed by the monster.
Perhaps it was because of the high price of monsters that many adventurers go in a group into the wilderness.
Of course, gold coins would be used up more quickly if one bought some cultivation resources or weapons.
The bow and arrows behind William were not made of good materials. They cost seven silver coins, and the arrows cost one silver coin per arrow. Therefore, William did not want to waste them, so he had to take back all the arrows he shot.
The wilderness could provide one with countless gold coins, but they had to spend gold coins to provide themselves with weapons if they wanted to survive in the wilderness. William always felt that someone was controlling behind this cycle.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Suddenly, footsteps came from the oasis, interrupting William's deep thought.
Someone was coming!
William covered the ground with sand and buried the flayed Five-Legged Flame Lizard. He also covered the changes caused by absorbing the Ancient Dragon God Bloodline with sand, leaving only a trap device.
That was the wilderness, so it was normal to have traps. It would be even more suspicious if there were nothing.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The red moon shone on the leaves, revealing a strange shadow. Five men and women walked out from behind the shadow.
William had already grasped their position when they were twenty-five meters away from him.
However, William did not turn around to look. Instead, he was still packing up. The package was a thick piece of cloth. One could wrap the contents after folding it. However, there were too many five-legged flame lizards, so it was difficult to tie up the package.
These were all William's property. They were all glittering gold coins. William was reluctant to throw them away.
He could only squeeze hard and wrap everything up.
He was not worried at all that the people behind him would attack him. Anyone's movements would be caught within 25 meters radius from him. No one could sneak attack him from behind.
A middle-aged man with his hair placed on his shoulder stood in the middle among the five people. His gaze landed on William.
He was shocked when he saw that the man was alone in the wilderness. The danger in the wilderness was far beyond imagination. Even experienced adventurers did not dare to walk alone. Only absolute experts could walk alone in the wilderness.
However, the man did not look old from his appearance. He did not look like an expert. Instead, he looked like a freshman adventurer who had just turned eighteen years old.
Only eighteen years old could apply for the identity of an adventurer and come to the wilderness.
Then, he looked at the thick pile of skin in the bag. The man's eyes were sharp. He could tell that they were the skin of the Five-Legged Flame Lizard known as the rookie killer, with one glance. The level of that monster was not high, but they were in groups, and their movements were agile. A rookie adventurer would be killed if he was careless.
And that young man had the Five-Legged Flame Lizard Skins in the bag.
On the other hand, it would be good if the two students beside him did not hide from the monster when they saw it, not to mention killing a Five-Legged Flame Lizard alone.
"You guys wait here. I'll go and take a look." The middle-aged man had the sudden intention of getting to know the man and told the people around him.
William noticed that someone had left the group and was walking toward him. It seemed that the person had no hostile intention. He packed his bag, and the person behind him approached. William got up and turned around.
Both looked at each other and were stunned.
"William?"
"Mr. George?"
