There weren’t many pedestrians on the street. As Su Hao walked back, there were a few villagers coming and going.
After the Origin Beast, which was buried underground, entered the town, it immediately locked onto the positions of Su Hao and the others and came roaming directly from underground.
Was it trying to hunt humans to fill its stomach?
For such a huge Origin Beast, human settlements were indeed a good hunting ground.
Unfortunately, Su Hao currently didn’t have radar perception ability, so he couldn’t accurately determine the location of the underground Origin Beast. He could only vaguely lock onto the general direction through changes in the surrounding environment.
With the successful drawing of the runes, Su Hao took a step forward.
“Earth Spikes!”
The ground shook more violently. His runes had some effect, but it seemed to have caused not much damage.
“Pupupu!”
At this moment, it seemed that the Origin Beast had locked onto Su Hao’s position. Six tentacles protruded from the underground around him and rolled towards him.
He stepped back half a step, adjusted his posture, and gripped the bone knife.
“Sharp” “Penetrate” “Hard” runes activated simultaneously.
“Horizontal Slash!”
A white light flashed, and the long knife swung in a circle.
“Chi chi chi~”
The six tentacles were cut off one after another, and the crisp sound continued, the severed tentacles fell to the ground and bounced wildly.
And Su Hao had been waiting for this moment.
He stomped fiercely with his big foot.
“Super Large – Earth Spikes!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe ground violently shook, and then the half-exposed tentacles suddenly retracted, twisting frantically.
“Boom!”
The center of the street swelled like a balloon, forming a small hill. The sturdy houses on both sides of the street were affected and pushed back several meters.
Just when Su Hao thought that the Origin Beast was about to emerge from the ground and fight him to the death, the ground’s shaking slowly subsided, and the tentacled Origin Beast gradually went away.
“Ran away?” Su Hao muttered in surprise.
Just then, two teams of Origin Mages rushed over.
Three people in each team, a total of six people, stood around the swollen hill, looking at Su Hao on top of it.
The air froze for a moment.
What’s going on?
One of the men with bangs armed lightly opened his eyes and pointed in a direction, saying, “It ran away! Much slower than before, let’s catch up.”
Another robust woman said solemnly, “In that case, let’s not rush. Let’s lure it out of town before taking action, to avoid damaging the houses.”
The others nodded, then jumped off the roof and ran in the direction where the Origin Beast fled.
The robust woman stayed behind, frowned, looked at Su Hao, and the knife covered in slime in his hand, thinking to herself, “Are these severed tentacles around him… did this young man drive away the octopus? Let’s talk about it later!”
Before chasing after them, she couldn’t help but advise Su Hao, “Young man, find a place to hide, don’t run around!”
She really liked strong men, even if the other party was a young man!
Regardless of whether Su Hao would listen or not, she jumped off the roof and chased after them into the distance.
Su Hao thought for a moment and decided not to join in the excitement. Those few Origin Mages were competent enough to deal with a tentacle monster.
He put away the bone knife, jumped off the small hill, and looked around, “Huh? Where’s my meat? Where are my supplies?”
Those octopus-like tentacles shouldn’t have eaten them, right?
…
The next day, the robust woman and her two teammates came to Su Hao’s house downstairs and knocked on the door.
Su Hao woke up from meditation, pushed open the window on the second floor and looked down. Seeing the Origin Mage team, he couldn’t help but think, “Yesterday’s matter?”
He closed the window and shouted, “Big Dog, open the door for our guests.”
Then he got dressed neatly and calmly went downstairs.
Now evolved into a “Bone Demon,” he had enough strength to protect himself, and it was time to get in touch with the extraordinary world.
Su Hao poured tea for the three guests and sat opposite them.
The robust woman didn’t wear a helmet today, only chest armor, abdominal armor, and leg armor as before. Her weapon was placed aside. With short hair, she looked very spirited, with a resolute face that made it difficult to tell if she was a man or a woman, if not for the high bulge of the chest armor…
The robust woman introduced herself, “Ziyin, although you should recognize us, let me introduce myself first.”
“I am Gu Yin, the president of the Huaishui Town Origin Mage Association, specializing in metal source magic, advanced level.”
Su Hao showed a hint of disrespect, “Hello, President Gu Yin.”
Gu Yin pointed to the black-haired man on her right and said, “He is my teammate, Si He, specializing in fire source magic, intermediate level.”
Si He’s attire was different from typical Origin Mages; he didn’t wear thick armor but a black cloth outfit, looking very neat.
Then she pointed to the light brown-haired girl on her left, “She is my teammate, Hua Jun, specializing in strange source magic, intermediate level.”
Hua Jun tied her long hair into a neat high ponytail, with a delicate face that seemed a bit shy. She had various small boxes hanging all over her body, like a treasure keeper. When Gu Yin introduced her, she smiled and nodded at Su Hao.
Out of courtesy, Su Hao also introduced himself, “Hello, I am Ziyang, a resident of Huaishui Town.”
Gu Yin said, “I know you, Ziyang’s younger brother.”
She observed Su Hao’s expression and saw no change, then continued, “Your sister is an excellent Origin Mage, undoubtedly, you will also be an excellent Origin Mage in the future. Perhaps, you have already awakened.”
Su Hao timely expressed surprise.
Gu Yin continued, “Yesterday, that creature, the octopus of the quality system, was injured by you, right! From what I know, you should have awakened the quality system. As for whether it’s the same as mine, the metal source, or the gas source, it remains to be confirmed.”
Su Hao asked, “Can you explain the structure of your Origin Mages to me systematically? I roughly know that Origin Mages are divided into three systems: ‘energy system,’ ‘quality system,’ and ‘fantasy system,’ but I’m not very familiar with the others.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGu Yin smiled and said, “Of course.”
She took a sip of tea and slowly explained, “Anyone who awakens the ‘source’ gains a special power, that is, the ability to control the source.
Such people are called Origin Mages. Generally, the awakened abilities are divided into three major categories, as you know, ‘energy system,’ ‘quality system,’ and ‘fantasy system.’
As you can see, I am a ‘quality system’ Origin Mage, with the ability to transform ‘source’ into various unstable substances, such as metal, common soil, water, etc. These quality system Origin Mages are collectively referred to as metal Origin Mages.”
She paused, looked at Su Hao, afraid he wouldn’t understand.
Su Hao nodded to indicate she should continue. Joking, with his current level, he couldn’t understand?
Gu Yin continued, “The quality system is subdivided into three categories: ‘metal Origin Mages,’ ‘gas Origin Mages,’ and ‘strange Origin Mages.’ They all transform ‘source’ into specific substances, so they are all classified as ‘quality system,’ but the difference lies in their abilities.
Gas Origin Mages transform ‘gas,’ possessing strong cutting, penetrating, and sensing abilities.
Strange Origin Mages transform various strange items, such as commonly used healing pearls, which are items obtained from the treasure chests of strange Origin Mages.”
Su Hao immediately turned to look at the various small iron boxes on Hua Jun’s body, curiously asking, “Are those the small boxes on Mage Hua Jun’s body?”
Gu Yin smiled and said, “That’s right.”
Su Hao asked, “Besides healing pearls, what else can be obtained?”
Hua Jun said with embarrassment, “Many! Theoretically, any item that comes to mind can be obtained.”
Su Hao almost exclaimed “What the hell!” This was too strong.
He asked again, “What about energy system mages?”
Gu Yin continued, “Energy system mages can transform ‘source’ into pure power, which can then erupt. They are divided into three categories: ‘fire Origin Mages,’ ‘thunder Origin Mages,’ and ‘blast Origin Mages,’ corresponding to three different forms of energy expression.”
She pointed to the short-haired man, Si He, and said, “Si He is a fire Origin Mage. When fully unleashed, he can burn down the entire town.”
Si He remained silent, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth, undoubtedly enjoying the feeling of pressure at the moment.
Gu Yin said, “The strongest, most difficult to deal with, and most mysterious are undoubtedly the ‘fantasy system.’ The fantasy system is divided into three categories: ‘crafty Origin Mages,’ ‘heart Origin Mages,’ and ‘god Origin Mages.’ For the ‘fantasy system,’ I don’t know much either. I only know that if you encounter a ‘fantasy system’ mage, you probably won’t be able to beat them, unless you can find out how the ‘fantasy system’ works.”
Su Hao asked, “What category does the giant beast from a year ago belong to?”
Gu Yin said in a deep voice, “That was a ‘fantasy system,’ a heart Origin Beast. It was also the strongest Origin Beast our Huaishui Town has encountered in nearly ten years, causing a lot of casualties.”
Su Hao frowned, puzzled, “What exactly are the abilities of fantasy system mages? President Gu Yin, can you give me an example?”
Gu Yin pondered for a moment, suddenly remembering something, and smiled, “Weird and strange, everything is possible, extremely abnormal, ordinary people simply can’t think of it. For example… there’s a ‘crafty Origin Mage’ in the fantasy system whose ability is called ‘Let’s be friends.'”
Su Hao, Si He, Hua Jun: “???”
