The monkeys were getting more and more cunning, sneaking up on Ruben when he was sleeping or most vulnerable.
He only used his daggers during his time here as he felt that using the gun was unnecessary and wasteful.
But he still kept it with him just in case.
As Ruben was heading back in the direction of where the gate was at, he noticed the floor vibrating.
'I knew it was too easy for a high moderate level danger.' Ruben though as he sensed something dangerous getting closer.
He then climbed up the tallest tree near him to get a better view.
He could sense the animals in the forest running away frightened.
In a distance, he saw a brown humanoid structure that was 10 metres tall from a distance approaching
Jungle Golem
- Health: 55,400/55,400
- protector of the forest that eliminates all intruders
[Father Of The South is excited for the confrontation]
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks says the Marked can do it]
Swearing, Ruben knew that the golem was going towards him with the goal of killing him.
Although it was far away, it would be in front of Ruben soon if he doesn't act fast.
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks says he believed in the Marked]
Since he couldn't run, he could only think of a way to face it.
Looking at the glock in his hands, he suddenly had an idea.
"Bobbit the lackey"
As soon as Bobbit appeared floating in the air in front of him, he asked right after Bobbit's greeting.
"Do you have powerful 10mm bullets?"
"We have some recommended bullets with attributes as shown." Bobbit said with a wave of a hand.
Not wasting time as he could see the golem reaching him in 5 minutes.
Noticing that all the bullets shown were sold in singles, he quickly browsed through the top section.
[10mm Blessed Bullet - 500 Stream Points]
- Excellent for hunting creatures of the darkness
- 500 damage, ×3 damage for creatures of the darkness
[10mm Fire Bullet - 650 Stream Points]
- Fire attributed
- 1000 damage
- 500 damage for fire attributed beings
[10mm Cursed Bullet - 2000 Stream Points]
- 500 base damage with decrease in 50 health every second the Bullet isn't removed
[10mm Webbing Bullet - 500 Stream Points]
- disables and secures the target with webbing
- webbing breaks for strength more than 90
Ignoring the other options available as he didn't have time to check all of them, he immediately bought 10, 10mm Cursed Bullets while taking out 10 bullets from the spare magazine he bought.
As soon as the 10 Cursed Bullets appeared, he placed them inside the spare magazine and switched out the magazine in the glock immediately after.
As soon as he was done switching out the bullets, the golem running towards him was already less than 500 meters from him.
Moving quickly, he noticed the roots of the surrounding trees wrapping themselves around Ruben's leg making it harder for him to move.
Shooting the golem twice in its face, he then added three stat points in his Strength.
Finding it easier to break out of the bindings he continued shooting the golem.
Although the golem was huge, it moved fast. Avoiding the golems attack by a few millimetres, he jumped on the golems hands and runned up its length.
As soon as Ruben shot all ten curse bullets, he took out Assassin's Blade and Demonic Wolf Fang Dagger and attacked the golem while trying to hold on to his life the next minute or two, waiting for the Cursed Bullets to eat away the golem's health.
He avoided the plants growing out of the golems body hoping to bind him down while the golem used its other hand to squash him.
Using his dagger to Slash any plants that binded him, he ran, rolled and dodged all possible attacks from the plants growing from the golems body as well.
Running up to where the golem's head was, he slide and tried cutting the huge body with his dagger.
Just when his HP was going below 100, he noticed the golem slowing down significant.
After a few seconds it finally stopped and fell on it's back, Ruben received a welcoming notification from the system
{Jungle Golem killed, 42,800 exp obtained}
Ruben fell down flat on the golems chest, panting and rested, regaining his HP slowly.
'Praise the Cursed Bullets!' Ruben thought.
He then checked the stream chat he had ignored the moment the golem arrived.
[Father Of The South sponsored 500 Stream Points]
[The Mistress Of Animals sponsored 500 Stream Points]
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks sponsored 500 Stream Points]
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks tells to Marked to check if it has a core]
[Archer Who Shot Down Nine Suns sponsored 500 Stream Points]
[Lord Of The Desert sponsored 1000 Stream Points]
[Righteous Judge Of The Dead sponsored 500]
[....
After taking a short rest, he sat his fatigued body up and began digging around the golem's body.
Digging around the chest, he finally found a green orb around the size of a baseball which he assume to be the core.
Energy Core
- contains the life energy of a Jungle Golem
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks says the core could be used to strengthen weapons, it could also add attributes if the core contains enough energy]
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks says it can be found in powerful beings who has gained enough life energy which would be condensed into a core after death]
Holding the core, Ruben had an odd desire to devoure it which was weird since it didn't seem edible at all.
As he read the use of the core from Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks which was sent through a private chat, he quickly kept it in the space ring.
"How do I use it to strengthen my weapons?" Ruben asked thinking he could maybe use it on his weapons when he returned.
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks says the Consellation Gem has a neutral energy which can help bond the core to the weapon]
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks says the Marked would need a simple formation map and have the Consellation Gem, core and weapon left at their respective slots]
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks says a weapon can only be strengthened once but the number of core that can be used to strengthen it is unlimited]
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks says the formation needed for the strengthening gets more complex as the number of core is used therefore most mortals only have access to bond 3 cores at most]
Reading through the private chat, Ruben thanked Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks.
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks says no worries and hope it will help the Marked]
[Shapeshifter Who Loves Pranks rubs his nose with a blush]
