Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Wolf Fang Pass Is Under My Command

Chapter Seventy-Four: I Call the Shots at Wolf Fang Pass

Note: As a Witch, you have inherited the Totem Pole of the Wandering Light Snake, representing the lineage of the Wandering Light Snake, including unfinished missions.

Guard Wolf Fang Pass, time limit: six years, 254 days. Reward (received in advance, used as Totem Pole materials)

Tip: As a player, for every ten thousand Bone Coins you submit, you can reduce the time by one year.

Agree, Refuse.

Tip 1, refusal means abandoning the Snake Spirit Totem Pole.

Tip 2: You can ask the tribe for assistance if attacked by Fierce Beast Level enemies. If Wolf Fang Pass is breached, the mission fails, and the Totem Pole returns to the tribe.

"Agreed." Small Knife naturally agreed without hesitation.

"Young man, not bad! You’ve got courage." Black Soul Crow nodded approvingly.

"Since everything is settled, I’ll head back." The Witch, Snake Spirit, said coldly.

Black Soul Crow was taken aback, then nodded and looked at Small Knife, saying, "It seems you have trouble ahead. I can only stay for three days. You must have your own defense force. If your Power is insufficient, you’ll have to entrust the defense here to other Witches, and naturally, your Totem Pole will be lost."

Note: Mission: Guard Wolf Fang Pass (Accepted)

Mission requirements: Prevent Wild Beasts from invading the valley, conditions, Fierce Beast Level: 0|0, Basic-Level Fierce Beast: 56|100, Mid-Level Fierce Beast: 7|10, High-Level Fierce Beast 0|1.

Tip: During the mission, any breach exceeding the condition limits results in mission failure.

Defense Force: Witch: 1 (Completed) Combat: 0|10 (Not met).

Tip 1: You can issue recruitment combat missions, but only NPCs with a favorable Status can qualify for acceptance, consuming a Favorability: 1 each month, unlimited for players.

Tip 2: Before the supporting Witch departs, the defense force must meet minimum requirements, or the mission fails.

Small Knife looked, amused. As for Combat Favorability, that’s not an issue.

Immediately issued the mission directly.

Wolf Fang Pass, recruitment for defense: Combat: Level 30, cost: 1000 Bone Coins monthly, Favorability: 1, for every 10 levels raised, the cost increases by 1000 Bone Coins, casualty compensation is 100 times the basic recruitment fee.

Small Knife examined it, immediately increased the default recruitment fee by fifty percent.

He took out a bag, small in size, poured out Iron Coins, each worth ten thousand Bone Coins.

These were no longer currency used for Combat, but for Witches.

As the Tribe’s top-level existence, only Witches had the right to use Iron Coins.

Such a wealthy display shocked the two Witches present.

Note: Witch, Snake Spirit’s favorability towards you +1, currently -24.

Are NPCs that opportunistic?

"Young man, unexpected! If you’re willing to pay fifty Iron Coins, how about I help you repair the Totem Pole and stay for an extra seven days for defense?" Black Soul Crow’s eyes lit up as he spoke.

Mission: Repair Totem Pole. Requirement: 50 Iron Coins.

Reward: Repairs damaged Totem Pole, Witch, Black Soul Crow stays an extra 7 days for defense, Favorability +5.

Do you agree?

"No problem!" Small Knife replied without hesitation.

If money can solve a problem, is it really a problem for me?

"Haha! Good, good, quite bold." Witch, Black Soul Crow laughed heartily, patting Small Knife on the shoulder.

Seeing this, the originally hesitant Combat members began accepting the tasks.

Penniless fools have to choose, Small Knife accepted them all.

Recruited forty Combat members directly, so he recruited all the support Combat members present.

Witch, Snake Spirit snorted coldly, face displeased, and sprinkled Bone Powder as he turned away.

A fierce Bone Beast quickly formed.

He stepped forward, placing his hand on the Witch Residence and withdrew it, mounted the Bone Beast, and went off into the distance.

Note: Witch, Snake Spirit’s favorability towards you -2.

After organizing the defense, Witch, Black Soul Crow provided Small Knife some guidance and began repairing the Totem Pole.

Besides pulling out dark bones, some Iron Coins were also integrated into the Totem Pole, along with a substantial infusion of Blood Qi.

Additionally, Black Soul Crow’s Totem Pole was staked on the earth, spreading its Domain, linking with Small Knife’s Totem Pole Domain, threads of Power replenishing.

This gradually healed the cracks in the Totem Pole.

As the only Witch with Favorability, Small Knife naturally scrutinized the tasks attached to him.

The Witch’s tasks indeed had considerable difficulty, with rewards even including healing aspects, such as soul fatigue recovery, minor injuries, etc.

Small Knife carefully examined and took on all the tasks with no time limit or penalty.

Unfortunately, none could be completed directly with money.

The wealthy are quite troubled, indeed.

He then inquired: "How can I build my own Witch Residence when three runes are still lacking?"

With NPCs, Small Knife had come to understand that aside from functional NPCs, only Favorability opens up communication; otherwise, you’ll be ignored.

However, if a request is made, the NPC can’t fulfill it, so no mention of it; even if it can be done, it’s a permanent consumption of Favorability.

"That’s simple; although I’m not expert, basic Witch Language must be mastered; it’s foundational for becoming a Witch." Black Soul Crow smiled casually.

Mission: Witch Residence, Basic Three Witch Patterns, each consuming Favorability: 1, Iron Coin: 1.

Small Knife immediately checked and chose three Witch Languages.

Witch Pattern 1: Size as You Wish. 1. Consumes Favorability, 1, Iron Coin: 1.

Witch Pattern 2: Defense Witch Pattern: Solid. 1, Consumes Favorability, 1, Iron Coin: 1.

Witch Pattern 3: Attack Witch Pattern, Soul-Seeking Cry. 1, Consumes Favorability, 3, Iron Coin: 3.

The third rune is Witch, Black Soul Crow’s special Witch Language, priced three times higher.

Thus, Small Knife, the sole Witch with Favorability, maintained the minimum Favorability needed to accept tasks.

Yet, several tasks disappeared, leaving only a few uninteresting ones.

Fortunately, Small Knife had already accepted decent tasks in advance.

A hissing sound arose, prompting Small Knife’s intuition as he quickly looked over. The Witch Patterns on the Totem Pole illuminated, tiny dots like lightning coalesced into a snakehead, seemingly directly gazing at Small Knife.

"Who are you? Has the last generation’s heir died? Why have they not returned to my embrace?" A voice rose from Small Knife’s heart, filled with deep dissatisfaction and malice.

A profound desire could be felt, intending to devour him.

From the formidable Totem Pole, black mist rose, taking the shape of Black Soul Crow, staring intently forward.

"Witch, in the name of Black Soul Crow, witnesses this as the new generation’s heir!" Witch, Black Soul Crow spoke.

"Is this the host of the new generation? Too weak, far too weak. Can’t the tribe find a single qualified Witch now?" The Snake Spirit was clearly displeased.

He then dissipated, converting to electrical light into the Totem Pole.

Totem Pole: Three-Stripe Special Witch Artifact, minor damage status. Recognized owner (provisional).

Totem Core: Spirit: Snake Spirit (Level 80) slumbering. (Compatibility 1%).

...!

Tip 1: Until you grow stronger or infuse sufficient Blood and Qi Power to increase compatibility, you are only provisionally recognized, and Snake Spirit may abandon you at any time.
