Chapter 477

ED:
Kuhyung, Kuhyung, Kuhyung!
The puol soon began to snort and laugh. Leeha looked at Jellypong, now perfectly transformed into a vest, with a dismayed expression.
If I lick it no, that sounds weird If I use it yeah, just like that pig did! If I wash it in water and then use it
He pondered how to earn an achievement himself. It was a mix of joy and sorrow. The fact that the puol had been tamed by licking Jellypong meant that this action brought about some result.
Hmm At least I should wait for the puols saliva to dry before using it. Lets check the achievement first huh?
Leehas attention returned to the alert he had momentarily missed due to the shocking scene of the puol licking (or sucking?) Jellypong. Third in the Hall of Fame.
Wow, so two members of the New Continent expedition have already tamed a puol?
There could only be two candidates: the Tamer Yongyong and the Druid Jin Gonggong.
That person who was always with Chiyou? Well, its expected given their skills to be selected for the expedition
Three and a half days have passed, quite some time indeed. But even for Tamers or Druids, it wouldnt have been easy for regular users to tame an animal. Leeha had interacted with many creatures but had only tamed one bear, and that was not even as a pet but as a special event achievement. Essentially, Leehas taming experience was virtually zero.
Of course, theres no time to waste! This loyalty thing probably refers to the duration of taming, and every moment counts! Blaugrunn-ssi, lets go! Koma, you finish up the rest and rest when you return!
[Kyuu? Kyuu]
Grr, Grrr!
The moods of Blaugrunn and Koma were different.
Since Komas duration was almost over, it was best to let it finish eating and then send it back.
As soon as Blaugrunn weakly flapped onto Leehas head, he climbed onto the puol.
Kuiiit!
Whoa, whoa. Even though it has a pigs head and neck, it can still run well, right?
The puol flinched momentarily but soon settled, perhaps comforted by the presence of Jellypongs scent.
Its confusing whether I tamed it or Jellypong did, but
Leeha tilted his head and grabbed the Puols mane. He then lightly kicked the Puols sides with his heels.
Kuiiit!
Lets go!
With Leehas robust command, the sound of the pigs Kuiiit echoed across the vast plains.
The Puol burst into a sprint, reaching near-top speed in no time, and Leeha laughed atop it.
Only a day and a half left! I need to explore as much as possible, and see where different monsters are distributed! I need to start mapping out where I can find what I need!
Wasting time with aimless wandering in a continent devoid of information was not an option.
This was precisely why Leeha had invested time in taming the puol.
Left on the hill to deal with the leftovers, Koma waved at the rapidly shrinking figures of Leeha and Blaugrunn.
Grrrrrr!
It was almost like a grandfather waving off his kin with a gesture of caution.
Wabong, wabong.
Two figures were fumbling around.
At first glance, they seemed human, but their lower bodies were different.
Their thighs were as big as their upper bodies, creating an unbalanced appearance. It was more like they had two pairs of legs rather than just standing on two thick ones.
Strictly speaking, even their upper bodies, though resembling humans, were not quite human. Their thick backs and shoulders contributed to their imbalanced appearance.
Such muscular creatures squatting and collecting something was an oddly amusing sight.
Rustle, rustle!
Whats that, Wabong?
Startled by the sudden noise, they turned their heads.
When the bushes rustled briefly, what emerged was a creature with the snout of a pig and the body of a horse.
Kuiiit!
Shh, quiet- oh.
Taak, tak, tak.
Without horseshoes but with the lively sound of hooves, a creature made its presence known. On top of this being, someone was gripping its mane.
Wabong-ah? A puol? And what?
Ah, you can talk? Are you a paleo then? Judging by its face, its mystical creature is probably a wild boar or something?
Leeha laughed, trying to ease the tension, but it was in vain.
It had been nearly 12 hours since Leeha tamed the puol. During this extensive exploration across the vast lands of the new continent, Leeha encountered a wild boar-shaped paleo.
Wabong!
Wabong! Ah, wabo!
The wild boar paleo snorted, revealing its protruding tusks. Just from the bulging thigh muscles, it was evident that these creatures were capable of a sudden leap and tusk attack.
But I didnt come here to fight! Damn you, you damned pig! I understand youre excited to meet your kind, but dont just charge out like that!
Wabong!
Bang! Boom!
As Leeha expected, the wild boar paleo immediately attempted to close the gap.
Unfortunately for them, they ended up ramming their heads into the tree behind Leeha. Fortunately, the creature Leeha was riding, the puol, had incredible reflexes and easily dodged the wild boar paleos attack.
Kwiiiiek!
Red goats, black cranes, gorillas, and now a different form of Paleo.
How much could they communicate? What was the level of their civilization? Leeha wanted to find out, but with their aggressive behavior, it was clear they werent open to dialogue.
Phew, thank goodness- no. Lets get out of here! Run, you stupid pig! Leeha yanked the puols mane harder.
The puol quickly turned around and started running.
Kwiiit! Kwiiiiit!
Wapong! Catch them!
They could be the Demon Kings minions. Wapong! To the guardian deity! Wapong!
The wild boar Paleo had remarkable speed, matching their muscular build, but they were no match for Pauls.
Kyukyukyukyu!
Hold tight, Blaugrunn-ssi!
Blaugrunn clung to Leehas hair, fluttering like a flag.
How fast could they be going? 80 km/h? 100 km/h? It was hard to gauge the exact speed, but it impressed Leeha. The only challenge was enduring the force without a helmet or goggles, akin to a high-end sports cars acceleration and speed maintenance.
And not being able to fully control it is also an issue Hmm, is this what owning a pet is all about?
Different from Koma, Blaugrunn, or Jellypong. While there was a pet window to manage the pets stats and basic nature, it was no easy task.
The notification that appeared when Leeha first succeeded in taming suggested that it might be more challenging since he wasnt specialized in animal affinity professions.
Even if Leeha was only a little late in feeding, the loyalty of his pet would drastically decrease, leading to rebellion.
Understanding the difference between intimacy and loyalty, Leeha knew well what consequences would follow if loyalty fell below 50%.
Whoa, whoa, stop now, Pauls.
Quiiek!
Only after getting a safe distance from the wild boar paleo did Leeha stop Pauls. He then took out a crumpled piece of paper from his bag.
Wild boar paleo sightings here I better mark this area as a caution zone.
Scratch, scratch, scratch.
He quickly jotted down notes and sketched significant landmarks.
Perhaps the only handmade map of the new continent! Leehas map was filled with traces of his ceaseless 12-hour exploration, including the Red Wood, the clearing where the Three Musketeers had parted ways, the prairie where he tamed the puol, and much more.
Quite a journey, but only two discovery achievements. It seems merely stepping into uncharted territory isnt enough.
Leeha shook his head. One was already listed as the second discovery in the Hall of Fame, meaning Fernand had been there before. Not just the achievements level, but its existence also indicated the danger level of the area. The two areas where the discovery achievements appeared were perilous to explore alone.
I just peeked in and came out, but taming must be similar. Not all animals grant achievements.
Leeha had already contacted Jin Gonggong. He had already reached 100% intimacy with six animals, a surprising feat in less than 24 hours, but only three of those resulted in achievements.
What animals did he tame, and how? He wouldnt tell me. I will remember that, Jin Gonggong-ssi.
Leeha chuckled, recalling his interactions and observations of others during the past 12 hours.
As Kidd and Luger said, in the grand scheme of the expedition, everyone was a teammate. But now, each was on their own, not sharing even basic stat informationa harsh yet thorough world of Middle Earth.
But Leeha wasnt upset. If others wouldnt share, why should he? His motivation was only fueled by the desire to get ahead.
I cant miss this opportunity. Only one day left until the mana relay towers warp gate is activated. Im quite satisfied with this exploration, but
Aside from the red goats, black cranes, and the gorillas, he had found four more Paleo species: a carp near a dark lake, a dog with jade light, a buffalo at the base of a tall mountain, and the wild boar. Each had distinct regional characteristics and temperaments.
Monsters appeared occasionally, but nows not the time for hunting. The best use of my remaining time is intimacy achievements.
Leeha needed to get stronger.
With Shin Nara as a formidable rival in the achievement race, Druid Jin Gonggong and Tamer Yong Yong could use the animals they tamed as offerings to increase intimacy.
If I want to monopolize the Hall of Fame
With just 24 hours until Hyerin brings the warp gate crew and opens the new continent to general users, Leeha decided to focus on achieving as many feats as possible.
Character window.
Name: Ha Leeha/ Race: Human
Class: Musketeer / Level: 195 (34%)
Title: Fearless / Achievements: 118
HP: 6,410(4,487)
MP: 1,575

Agility 3,166(+1,032)
Intelligence 160(+109)
Stamina 228(+135)
Spirit 65(+55)
Remaining Stat Points: 0
What if I manage to conquer all four paleos?
Leeha knew how to approach them. Just needed to find their favorite foods, and he might surpass Shin Nara in record time.
He set his course and goal.
Lets hit a neat 3,333 in agility!
To others, such a stat might seem unbelievable. What does a single stat exceeding 3,000 mean?
After parting with the gorilla paleo, Leeha hadnt fully utilized Black Bass yet.
The additional effect of the legendary item he gave to Kijung, Nameless Paladins Legendary Sword, required over 2,500 stamina, and even Kijung needed 11 more points to activate it.
Lets go, puol! Starting with the buffalo! Plus, with the common reputation in the Erika Continent, each paleo tamed will make the next easier!
Kwiiit!
Befriending four paleos tribes in 24 hours before the flood of users!
Sweeping all achievements and the Hall of Fame in the new continent!
Even if he couldnt hit 3,333, setting high goals was Leehas way.
If not, Ill reach it with level 200. Heuheu. Run, run!
[Kyukyukyu!]
The puol sped up, its pig-like cries echoing as it ran.
The real monster awaiting general users in the new continent might not be paleo, monsters, remnants of the Matan Fragment, or his army, but a player.
A player with a hatchling-class dragon riding its head, wearing items made from Sea Gods essence, wielding legendary weapons, and with one stat over 3,000 while still below level 200, this monster might be the biggest surprise for them.
