037 Condition 4 Unlocked
Runic World. Within the Labyrinth of Caves.
After he left Team 8911’s range of sight, Wu Wei sighed and summoned his Book of Runes. Then, he took out his last [Golem Doll Rune].
“I originally wanted to sell this thing. It’s unbelievable that I ended up having to use it now.”
Wu Wei placed the [Golem Doll Rune] on top of the second page as he spoke.
When the [Golem Doll Rune] was activated, the second page, which had dimmed due to the death of the Golem Doll, lit up again.
However, when Wu Wei saw the attribute window of the Golem Doll after he re-summoned it, his eyebrows furrowed.
..

..
“Its level has dropped by 1 level. The previously completed conditions 2 and 3 have also dropped by varying amounts.
Fortunately, the problem isn’t too big and can be overcome with a bit of time!
I’ll just take it as the price for the map!”
Next, Wu Wei dismissed the Golem Doll’s attribute window and opened up Yellow’s to take a look.
Compared to the attribute window of the Golem Doll, Yellow’s was obviously much more impressive.
..
Runic Summon: Yellow Turban Strongman

..
For Yellow, it was clear how to complete the two revealed conditions. As Wu Wei looked at the two conditions, he thought: “Should I just aim to finish up these two conditions first to determine if he can rank up immediately?”
Ultimately, Wu Wei thought against the idea.
“Forget it. Golem Doll comes first. Let’s not rush things for Yellow and leave it to fate.”
Afterward, Wu Wei lit up another [Runic Torch] and examined Zhou Hong’s map to determine his destination.
“Got it! I’m coming for you, Cave Golems!
It had to be said that the information about Cave Golems on the map was very comprehensive.
“Located at the Southwest corner of the second floor of the Labyrinth of Caves… The average level of these Cave Golems is 10, and they have two racial skills: [Earth Spikes] and [Earth Shield]. The Cave Golems are [Uncommon] and can only use the former, but Elites are [Rare-] and can use both. The Boss is a full-fledged [Rare] monster with strength far surpassing that of a normal Cave Golem.
PS: The Boss is usually Tier 1, but the academy deals with it whenever it spawns, so there’s no need to worry about encountering the Boss!”
Seeing the message, Wu Wei frowned slightly.
“Does the academy handle all Tier 1 and higher bosses?”
Wu Wei was not surprised, but he was a little disappointed. He felt that with Yellow’s current strength – especially now that he had the tusk blade – he should be able to take it down himself.
“Forget it. It can’t be helped… I’ll probably just need regular Cave Golems, I guess.”
“Let me check my current location.”
As an academy-trained Runemaster, map reading was a compulsory course in the curriculum.
As Wu Wei had arrived at where he was right now through an unconventional descent, it was harder to pinpoint his location.
However, Wu Wei quickly figured things out. “Mm, I should be here now. My destination should be in the Southwest, which is that direction. It’s only one to two kilometers from here!”
As he spoke, Wu Wei began to move.
Although his goal was the Cave Golems, Wu Wei did not directly head there.
While he had been clueless before, now that he had a map that pointed out all of the resources and monsters in the area, Wu Wei naturally made full use of it.
On his way, Wu Wei killed three small monsters, and the experience gained allowed Golem Doll to regain his former level of 10.
Wu Wei also gathered over 10 drops.
Unfortunately, his luck wasn’t very good, and their total value was not high. In total, they were worth only around 30 Runic Stones.
However, Wu Wei wasn’t overly bothered. It was just some conveniently-earned change, after all.
More importantly, he was getting closer and closer to his real goal.
“It’s about time. According to the map, this should be the Cave Golem’s territory. I have to be careful here. After all, although Cave Golems move alone, they can use [Earth Spike]. If I’m not careful – what the f*ck!”
Before Wu Wei could finish his sentence, the Spider Ring on his hand sent a sharp pain through his body.
Wu Wei quickly realized what was going on and moved to dodge the incoming danger.
Just as he dodged to the side, an earth spike shot out from where he had originally stood.
Seeing this scene, Wu Wei’s face instantly turned pale.
The attack would have robbed him of his manhood if he had not dodged in time.
“F**king hell! Despicable!”
As Wu Wei scanned his surroundings, he saw a figure flash past.
However, although the figure was fast, it was not faster than Wu Wei’s ‘cheat.’ It was able to catch the attribute window of the figure.
..
Runic Monster: Cave Golem
Rank: Uncommon
Level: 10
Mastered Skill: Earth Spike
..
“So it’s a Cave Golem, after all. Yellow, catch it for me! Remember, don’t kill it!”
“F**ker, d-…”
“Shut up, go!”
Under Wu Wei’s command, Yellow burst out and chased after the Cave Golem.
Perhaps because the Spider Boots’ had some hidden speed bonus, Yellow could quickly catch up with the Cave Golem. Since Wu Wei wanted it alive, Yellow swung the flat side of the blade against its chest.
With just one simple swing of the blade, the Cave Golem was sent flying into the wall…
Not long after, Yellow dragged over the 1.6-meter tall humanoid-looking Cave Golem with no facial features.
“Go, finish It!”
Wu Wei handed the Treant Longsword to his Golem Doll.
Under Wu Wei’s command, the Golem Doll ran up and began hacking at the Cave Golem until it died.
Wu Wei had hoped to see a line of numbers pop up when it died. However, to his disappointment, nothing appeared.
“Is the fourth condition not related to killing Cave Golems? Or is it because I didn’t kill it myself?”
Wu Wei frowned and proceeded to open the loot that had dropped from the Cave Golem.
[You have opened the common drop and received 1x [Golem Heart!]]
After a moment of daze, Wu Wei subconsciously passed the heart to the Golem Doll beside him.
Suddenly, the Golem Heart disintegrated and was absorbed. At the same time, a line of numbers appeared in front of Wu Wei.
[1/20]
Finally, condition four had been activated!
