Chapter 43: 4th Generation Origin: Strange Butterfly

News of the discovery of a 4th Generation Origin monster caused a stir on the forum.

A large number of players flocked to Lu Xing's livestream to see what a 4th Generation Origin monster actually looked like.

Upon seeing that the hunting level of the 4th Generation Origin monster was only level 7, the onlookers felt conflicted.

One of the greatest pains in the world is watching others get rich while you don't have a single cent.

The Strange Butterfly’s soul-bound characteristic also sparked heated discussion among the viewers:

"Dark Land is so fun": This soul-bound characteristic is interesting. The analysis says it can fly, defend, and attack. Isn't this the dream soul-bound for monster-type players? One soul-bound can solve all needs.

"Slaughtering All Directions": Brother, you can't handle this Origin monster. Let me do it. I'm on my way, you must wait for me!

"Night is Coming": You clearly don't realize how awesome the Strange Butterfly's "Wind Control" characteristic is. I can guarantee that this soul-bound will definitely become a universal one that everyone has in the late game.

"Leopard Head Zero Recharge" replied to "Night is Coming": Brother Night, tell me more. I benefited a lot from the soul-bound build guide you posted before. I don't understand why the Wind Control soul-bound would be something everyone has?

"Night is Coming" replied to "Leopard Head Zero Recharge":

This question is actually easy to explain.

The map of the Monster World is very large. In the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range area alone, we have only opened 9.6% of the map fog, and there are still a large number of unexplored areas.

In this kind of open world with super high freedom, traveling is bound to be a headache for all players.

In other games, there are two ways to solve this problem: mounts and teleportation.

Dark Land hasn't launched space teleportation or mount functions yet. I don't know if they will in the future, so for now, we can only travel to our destinations on foot.

At the current stage, it takes an hour to travel from Emperor Tomb Village to the Blood-Colored Plains.

And the Wind Control soul-bound has two key points in the guide analysis: flight and increased movement speed.

This means that embedding the Wind Control soul-bound can significantly shorten travel time. Besides that, high movement speed during combat can be used to dodge attacks or save your life by fleeing. It is simply an all-around soul-bound with very high strength.

……

"Night is Coming" is a very famous guide-writing player on the forum.

The three star-pulse combination sharing posts he published before were once pinned to the top of the forum's popularity list, attracting the attention of many players.

His analysis in the livestream made the onlookers realize the power of the Wind Control characteristic.

Just the characteristic of significantly speeding up travel is enough for most players to choose to embed it, as it means saving a lot of travel time compared to other players, allowing them to devote more energy to hunting monsters or resource extraction.

The players watching the livestream sent barrages one after another, hoping Lu Xing would take action to kill the Strange Butterfly as soon as possible and not let it run away.

In the face of common interests, the sourness in the players' hearts vanished.

They even felt nervous.

Unlike evil spirits, Origin monsters are not restricted to specific environments, nor are they subject to the spatial limitations of moon phases.

Moreover, the Strange Butterfly is an Origin monster with flight capabilities. If it isn't contained this time, it might not be waiting for players to hunt it in the same location next time; it is entirely possible for it to fly out of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range area.

Such an important soul-bound is something all players want to possess.

Urged by the viewers in the livestream, Lu Xing switched to his Eagle-Headed Demon form and slowly approached the Strange Butterfly.

Sensing Lu Xing's approach, a figure suddenly leaped out of the bushes and appeared in the view of Lu Xing and the livestream viewers.

It had a pair of wide wings, a large and round head, and an elegant, streamlined body covered in a layer of white feathers. Under the moonlight, its surface was shrouded in a layer of rapidly changing iridescent colors, and the large, deep green glowing eyes mounted on this body added a touch of cuteness.

"Coo-coo!"

The Strange Butterfly chirped at Lu Xing, as if issuing a warning.

"I'm only level 7, I might not be its match."

Hearing Lu Xing's words, the viewers in the livestream cheered him on, saying there was no need to fear a challenge between equals, and not to let this 4th Generation Origin monster get away.

Encouraged by the viewers, Lu Xing gritted his teeth, flapped his wings, and pounced toward the Strange Butterfly.

"Coo!"

The Strange Butterfly chirped, flapped its wings violently, and a sudden gust of wind howled, blowing Lu Xing away. He tumbled several times in the air and landed on his butt on the ground.

"Again!"

Lu Xing felt ruthless in his heart; after getting up, he flapped his wings and charged again.

But the result remained unchanged. The Strange Butterfly lightly flapped its wings, and the gale swept Lu Xing's body backward; he couldn't even get close to the Strange Butterfly.

After failing several charges in a row, Lu Xing had thoughts of giving up.

But the viewers in the livestream didn't give up, saying that victory was within reach, arguing that the Strange Butterfly needed to consume mental energy every time it used Wind Control, and its mana would soon bottom out, so he would win if he just persisted a little longer.

Egged on by the livestream viewers, Lu Xing had no choice but to bite the bullet and persist.

Half an hour later, Lu Xing, having been blown away by the Strange Butterfly once again, fell heavily to the ground and could no longer climb back up.

At this moment, he looked disheveled, most of his fiery red feathers had fallen off, and his whole body ached.

Just as Lu Xing wanted to give up, a notification sounded in his mind:

[Challenger Tip: Received 10 points of sacrificial power from the tip by "Don't Spend the Money You Receive", 3 points of sacrificial power deducted as a handling fee, income 7 points of sacrificial power.]

[Challenger Tip: Received 30 points of sacrificial power from the tip by "Math Score Five", 9 points of sacrificial power deducted as a handling fee, income 21 points of sacrificial power.]

[Challenger Tip: ...]

Realizing that Lu Xing was about to give up, the onlookers decisively chose to use their "money power" to keep him going.

They all said that the tipped sacrificial power could be used to buy healing potions in the mall, which could repair his injuries and allow him to return to battle.

Faced with the enthusiastic sponsorship from the crowd, Lu Xing reignited his fighting spirit. After buying potions from the mall and pouring them into his mouth, his body's injuries repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the fallen feathers grew back.

Looking up, the Strange Butterfly was looking at him with a very human-like expression of looking at an idiot; Lu Xing even saw a hint of provocation in its eyes.

"Kill!"

Lu Xing gritted his teeth, and a new round of charging began.

During this time, the livestream viewers gave emotional encouragement, shouting and cheering, and tip notifications kept ringing in Lu Xing's mind.

After the fourth major injury repair, when Lu Xing launched another charge, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the Strange Butterfly did not release its Wind Control power again.

"Finally...!"

Lu Xing revealed his sharp beak, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Strange Butterfly.

Just as he was less than half a meter away from the butterfly, it suddenly raised its wings and slammed them down at him, so fast that the wings turned into phantoms.

Slap!

This blow hit Lu Xing on the crown of his head, causing him to fall heavily in front of the Strange Butterfly, seeing stars and his vision blurring.

Seeing this scene, various wails suddenly erupted in the livestream.

After the analysis by "Night is Coming", many players had already regarded the Wind Control soul-bound as a must-have in future star-pulse combinations.

Many players watching the livestream were even more nervous than Lu Xing, who was fighting in person.

Seeing Lu Xing completely beaten down, some players were so excited that they sent barrages in the livestream saying:

Pay back the money if you lose!
