Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 39 Angel's Protection
Reluctantly closing the skill learning list, even though it was a basic white skill, the Charged Crossbow was a very versatile and useful skill, but...

Ling Chuan glanced at the dark red and gold icons flashing in the skill bar and smiled nonchalantly. One shouldn't be too greedy, or one will truly incur the wrath of the heavens.

Ling Chuan felt relieved and looked at Zhang Meng, saying, "Thank you for your consideration, Brother Zhang. I wonder if the Seven-Colored Dragon Orchid last time won Miss Li Lian's heart?"

This was supposed to be a casual conversation to wrap things up, but unexpectedly, after Zhang Meng gave a shy smile, a hint of regret arose in his eyes.

Ling Chuan's mind stirred; there was a mission! And one he'd missed in his previous life!
"But what happened?" Ling Chuan quickly inquired.

Zhang Meng was still hesitant, but when Ling Chuan asked, he finally sighed and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, something unexpected did happen."

Ling Chuan pricked up his ears and listened attentively, "I'm all ears."

Zhang Meng patted Ling Chuan with a sigh and said gently, "Only my virtuous brother is willing to listen to my rambling. Actually, after I gave the Seven-Colored Dragon Orchid to Miss Li Lian that day, she was indeed overjoyed. I could clearly feel that her attitude towards me had changed. She even invited me to see the Seven-Colored Dragon Orchid she transplanted. But this Seven-Colored Dragon Orchid is different from other varieties. As soon as it was planted, it dimmed and didn't absorb any nutrients. I tried many methods but couldn't change it. I could only let it wither away little by little. Afterwards, Miss Li Lian was filled with remorse, feeling that her greed had ruined the life of a special Seven-Colored Dragon Orchid. No amount of comforting could help. Now I'm very distressed. Logically speaking, this matter is also my fault. If it weren't for me..."

Ling Chuan frowned and interrupted him, saying, "If that's what Brother Zhang says, then I am the one primarily responsible. I was the one who made the suggestion, and I was the one who picked it. But it's too late to investigate responsibility now; we should focus on saving that Seven-Colored Dragon Orchid."

Zhang Meng's eyes flashed, and his expression towards Ling Chuan was even more different. He nodded and said, "Brother, you are wise. There is indeed a way to remedy this, but apart from you, I can't find anyone more suitable to help me."

coming!

Ling Chuan clasped his hands in a fist salute, "I will not shirk my duty!"

Zhang Meng laughed heartily, then said seriously, "Actually, the solution is simple. Where it originally grew must be related to that place. I observed that the roots of the Seven-Colored Dragon Orchid have a strong snake-like smell, so I deduced that it probably has a symbiotic relationship with a serpentine beast. My good brother, why don't you hunt down that serpentine beast, take its head and heart, and give them to me? I, Zhang, have a way to protect the Seven-Colored Dragon Orchid! At that time, I will definitely give you a great gift in return!"

[Ding] System notification! [Hunter Zhang Meng] has issued you a hunting mission: hunt down the [Earth Rock Python] (S-rank) and retrieve its head and heart. This mission is extremely difficult; you can gather your friends and family to assist you in completing it. Upon completion, you will all receive incredibly rich rewards! Accept?
"accept!"

It was an uncanny coincidence. He had originally planned to learn the skills to defeat the Earth Rock Serpent, but he didn't expect to receive a quest about the Earth Rock Serpent. Moreover, the quest was of S-rank difficulty and was a team quest. The rewards were absolutely generous, and everyone would receive a copy!
Overjoyed, Ling Chuan immediately clicked to accept.

Zhang Meng, his face full of gratitude, reminded him, "The roots of the Seven-Colored Dragon Orchid have a strong fishy smell, mixed with a violent aura. That snake beast must be no weakling. Brother, you must be careful!"

Ling Chuan was surprised and had to marvel at the system's power once again. He nodded and said, "I will keep that in mind."

……

After saying goodbye to Zhang Meng, Ling Chuan hurried towards the auction house. Although his job applicant was in Xicun, he had spent a lot of time on his sales pitch, and Yi Han and Ling Feixue should have arrived by now.

Five minutes later, outside the crowd of NPCs at the auction house, Yi Han and Ling Feixue attracted members heading to the auction house to trade, like a mascot. However, after the incident with Tang Hao, the onlookers were much more well-behaved. They neither approached to chat nor spoke rudely. Yi Han and Ling Feixue, on the other hand, looked completely calm. They were used to such scenes in real life and could remain completely unperturbed.

"Ah, here we come."

Ling Feixue smiled coldly, stunning everyone. Before they could react, a purple figure had already arrived beside them. Who else could it be but Ling Chuan?

His appearance instantly froze the surrounding enthusiasm. Many players showed curious and inquisitive expressions, their eyes filled with both doubt and envy. They had read the forum and had mixed feelings about Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan ignored the surrounding discussions and stepped forward, asking, "Is it finished?" The two nodded. "It's finished, and we've achieved the title of the number one knight in the entire server. We've also joined the priest class, which gave us 3 points of legendary glory, 5 gold coins, and 2 points of luck. We've also learned the skills."

"Very good, please report your skill information."

Even though he was very familiar with the skills of knights and priests after they joined the job, Ling Chuan still had to ask about them with concern, as a way of covering up his ignorance.

Yi Han spoke first, "The knight's two skills are quite good. The first skill is [Heavy Strike], a single-target attack skill that deals 115% physical damage to the target, consumes 20 mana, has a 4-second cooldown, and a skill level cap of 10. The second skill is the tank's exclusive skill [Taunt], which forces the target to attack me, locks aggro for 10 seconds, has a 20-second cooldown, and reduces the damage taken by the taunted target by 25% for the first 3 seconds. It's a very good skill for pulling monsters and absorbing damage."

“I originally had two skills, but it seems that due to the hidden race, an extra one was triggered.” Before Ling Chuan could ask, Ling Feixue had already finished speaking.

"!!"

Ling Chuan and Yi Han were both stunned.

"?!"

Seeing Yi Han's expression, Ling Chuan's eyes widened, his surprise turning into suspicion, and he asked, "You don't know?"

"Me?" Yi Han looked at Ling Feixue blankly and said, "Your sister didn't tell me either."

Ling Feixue blinked. "But you didn't ask me."

Ling Chuan was speechless. Had he overestimated these two? Did they learn skills but not communicate with each other?

"Then, what kind of skill is it?" Yi Han asked.

"You can see for yourselves." Perhaps thinking it would be more convenient for her to see for herself, Ling Feixue directly posted her three skills in the team's shared chat.
