Chapter 670 The Extermination of the Deer-Headed Spirit
Cheng Tian's enthusiasm for hunting mutated beasts and searching for dragon eggs has clearly reached a new level, and he has begun to actively take on more monster-hunting missions.

Thanks to Star Base, which has many missions, even though the fifth batch of members are all in place and players are actively responding, there are still plenty of missions to hunt down all kinds of demonized creatures.

This could very well be a targeted adjustment to the space based on the number of players, or it could be the ley lines responding to players' expectations.

Cheng Tian wanted to redeem the sacrificial monsters to gain attribute bonuses, and other players did the same.

However, compared to them, Cheng Tian clearly had an extra option: handing over the precious dragon eggs.

Of course, not just any egg will do. For example, for the dragon egg corresponding to the Poison Bird that was previously hunted, the guild will only give the corresponding Chosen Coins as a reward. If you want to get permanent attributes, you must get an egg of the Spade Tyrannosaurus Rex level.

Anyone can defeat monsters, but when it comes to stealing eggs, basically only Cheng Tian can do it.

Cheng Tian would deliberately choose abandoned dragon nests to loot eggs from the void. This method would almost never attract the attention of the original owner of the nest, partly because the abandonment of the nest usually meant that the original owner had run away.

On the other hand, ...who knows that Dr. Cheng can create eggs out of thin air without needing a father or mother!

Then it was the guild's turn to be dumbfounded.

In particular, the dragon-human researchers responsible for studying the captured individuals and dragon eggs have gone from initial excitement to bewilderment and confusion.

They simply couldn't understand how Cheng Tian had brought back so many dragon eggs with identical parentage but different mutations in their ability systems.

Do the Fire Dragon couple have so many subspecies?
There's even a "cold male fire dragon egg" here, such a contradictory attribute against the heavenly order, is that reasonable?

And the most crucial point... the fire dragon couple from the Ancient Forest were already hunted down by the guild not long ago due to their deep demonic corruption, right? Where did this egg of yours come from?!
Even with so many questions, Cheng Tian's egg is undeniably real and of great research value!
Faced with this pile of additional attributes that could cause a dramatic increase in the number of subspecies of the Fire Dragon couple, the scholars applied to higher authorities time and time again, paying "free attribute points" as compensation.

Kill monsters, steal dragon eggs. If you are discovered, steal the dragon eggs first and then kill the monsters. Before nightfall, Cheng Tian had accumulated 3 points of strength, 1 point of agility, and 7 free attribute points as extra income.

Offerings and other resistance bonuses are calculated separately.

Of course, risk and reward are proportional. Although Cheng Tian gained attribute gains comparable to a main story dungeon in just one day, he was under immense pressure from a deadly source of stress.

Cheng Tian has a rather unique way of thinking. He can always find corresponding references to the current situation in the game and use them as a basis for targeted analysis.

Therefore, he could guess to some extent what Akuma "expected" of him.

When your strength or agility attributes reach their maximum value, that may be the moment when Akuma unleashes his assassination punch on you.

It wasn't that Cheng Tian didn't want to befriend him, but as the source host of Orochi's power, it was impossible for Cheng Tian and Akuma to maintain harmony... or rather, very few people who entered the world of martial arts and deathmatch could establish a good relationship with Akuma. He never imagined that one day he would become someone else's "raising" character!
Cheng Tian inexplicably conjured up an R18 simulation game with numerous development paths and various CG scenes. However, driven by his player instincts—"finding eroticism in the serious, and stats in the erotic"—he ended up raising his character into an innocent person with overwhelming combat power capable of instantly defeating monsters...

Having arrived at Camp 1 and preparing to join Geralt in defeating the Leshen, Cheng defined his current situation.

Great Jagras, Tobi-Kadachi, Anjanath, and the previously defeated Pukei-Pukei, Cheng Tian has already defeated most of the common demonic dragons in the Ancient Forest region. Currently, only the male and female Rathalos couple remains unencountered.

All the eggs they had previously retrieved were from abandoned dragon nests. The guild found this unbelievable, but after testing their activity, they had no choice but to accept Cheng Tian's payment.

Perhaps because Cheng Tian's team was very assertive, and the Starry Sky Stronghold was openly favoring Cheng Tian, ​​giving him a higher priority in accepting missions than other players, many players decided to move their main activity locations from the Ancient Forest to the Wildspire Wasteland and the Coral Highlands.

Although it's quite far from the Starry Sky Stronghold and the journey back and forth is rather tiring, with the support of the corresponding regional camp, basic functions can still be guaranteed, and there's no need to face the situation of competing with Cheng Tian for prey.

Those who know when to yield are the wise. As one of the most flexible groups in terms of their bottom line, players do not mind bowing to those stronger than themselves when there is no direct conflict of interest, rather than engaging in a head-on confrontation.

Furthermore, by spreading out the task and investigating traces of the ancient dragon along the way, the efficiency is also higher.

It can be said that, at least for the time being, the Ancient Tree Forest has been temporarily occupied by Cheng Tian.

"Is the guideworm ready?"

Upon seeing Cheng Tian's arrival, Geralt, who had been waiting there and was sitting quietly by the campfire, asked a question.

Cheng Tian gestured to the person next to him, and Eileen also revealed the insect guide canister hanging on her waist, and her equipment underwent a noticeable change in appearance.

Moreover, it wasn't just the equipment; she wasn't even holding her favorite elven bow anymore, but instead had switched to a light crossbow made primarily of Anjanath.

It has to be said that the hunters' combat system opened up a new world for Eileen.

So, bows and arrows can be used in close combat! Rapid fire and single shots can coexist!
Light crossbows and heavy crossbows each have their own charm and advantages and disadvantages. In addition, the military-style hunting that the guild deliberately demonstrated in the arena at Cheng Tian's request made Eileen's eyes light up. She wished she could learn all these ranged attack methods in one go.

Choosing the light crossbow at this moment is her first step in trying something new in this area.

As for Cheng, what he carried on his back was a simple one-handed sword and a small round shield, except that the pattern of the Stars and Stripes was clearly visible on the surface of the small round shield.

Just as the group left Camp 1 and prepared to venture deeper into the forest under the cover of night, the aura of a wild beast, which should not belong to this forest, began to appear around the deer-headed spirit, which seemed to have become one with the forest.
