Chapter 35
“A Quasi-Commander boss. There’s such a rank?” Ji Ye wondered out loud.
“Yeah, such things do exist.” Lu Zhishen, who was beside him, had some additional information in his head.
A Quasi-Commander represented an Elite creature that was only slightly stronger under normal circumstances. However, in a short period of time, they could unleash the combat strength of a Commander!
“Thankfully, this Mandrill is only a Quasi-Commander. If it’s a Commander, it might be able to continue using that yellow light. Master, your Black Serpent Sword might not be able to injure it!”
Lu Zhishen was slightly relieved.
This Mandrill was an Extraordinary Rank-2 creature. Although it was only a Quasi-Commander, it could temporarily unleash the power of a Commander. Even he was unable to fight it head-on.
Of course, it was mainly because he didn’t have any suitable weapons.
If he was holding an Extraordinary weapon that was similar to the Black Serpent Sword, or a 500-pound Frost Metal Meditation Staff, he could use the weapon to break through the Mandrill’s black fur or shatter its internal organs with the staff. Even though the Mandrill’s level was higher than his, Lu Zhishen was confident that he could defeat the Mandrill alone.
After all, it was just a monster. In terms of intelligence, it was far inferior to humans!
He assumed that there were restrictions that prevented players from freely studying all sorts of skills. But his Fusion skill could bypass that. Though he still needed to confirm it first.
Lu Zhishen didn’t seem to be interested in the new skill, as he had already received a powerful skill when he was summoned to this realm.
Ji Ye put away the sphere and decided to examine it back in the settlement. Doing so in the wilds could be risky.

Next, he looked at the remaining sphere, which came from the monster’s severed neck.
[Mandrill Blood]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Common]
[The blood of a Mandrill contains a small trace of a certain deity’s will, which can be used to keep filthy beings at bay.]
He noticed that this blood could not be directly fused. Ji Ye guessed that perhaps it was a privilege that could only be obtained after killing a Commander-level creature.
“A deity? Keep filthy things away?” Ji Ye read the description with a strange look. He definitely wasn’t expecting such a tool from a monster that almost looked like a ferocious ghost itself.
He had read about certain mythology stories that described monsters turning into gods and deities with enough training and growth. This Mandrill probably was such a case.
There was a problem though. Such monsters illustrated by eastern mythologies such as Journey to the West tended to reincarnate into something else after they were killed. Ji Ye was getting worried that the Black Serpent and this ape were going to get back at him at this rate, just like that Bronze Bull.
But on second thought, such a concern was uncalled for. According to the description of the monster blood, both the serpent and the Mandrill had “a small trace” of something mightier inside them. They probably would not come back to life like real gods and divinities.
Besides, Ji Ye was confident that he could deal with those monsters with enough preparation. He’d welcome them to receive more loot from them.
