There were more than at least 8frogs in the river, luckily the people that made the request made it clear about what the frogs are weak against.
Which was spiritual pressure, the frogs normally never grew from being a bronze rank stage 2 but whoever that dared to eat them would immediately be poisoned which was able to kill people at peak of the diamond rank.
The might look like the best thing to go for in poison wise but finding these little beasts are harder than finding a diamond on the street.
Sam immediately got excited and released his soul pressure killing all of them in seconds.
Immediately Sam stored all of them in his inventory and also received a notification for killing them,
[you have gained 5 points for a killing a poisonous frog] x8
Sam jumped out of the river
As for the next mission also had to do something with the river.
The next mission was to find a turtle.
The reason he needed a turtle was that the mission was from a black Smith and he needed the shell from a turtle to create an armour.
Sam didn't bother about it for too long and immediately got to the chase and started searching for the turtle.
Sam swam through the river until he came across a waterfall that was at least 10 floors high and about few meters away from it there was a turtle sitting on a rock lazily.
Sam knew he would be stupid if he didn't take this chance and attack it, because if the turtle noticed it would immediately jump in the river.
After that, it would be impossible to catch it thanks to their swimming speed.
The turtle's defence was pretty shit but with its shell, it could withstand a punch from Sam and would still feel like nothing happened.
Sam went for the unprotected area on the turtle and killed it immediately, he stored the turtle in his storage but the moment he did he was surprised by a huge motion under the the rock below him, the rock collapsed and the head of a huge serpent emerged with its mouth wide open, ready to eat Sam.
Currently, Sam was suspended in the air and the serpent head was coming towards his body.
Sam immediately thought of what to do and immediately remembered the frogs he had.
He took out 2 of the frogs and the moment that happened the serpent immediately reacted and closed its mouth.
It pulled his head back and swung his tail at Sam, sending him flying towards the waterfall.
The serpent went back inside the river and Sam currently was inside a cave with all his bones broken thanks to the attack from the serpent.
Sam coughed a few mouthfuls of blood before stopping and going to sleep as that would increase his regeneration speed.
Sam woke up 5 hours later with all his wounds still being there except that the broken bones were now just fractured and not broken bones.
Sam sat down and started to cultivate so he could recover from this injury before going out to continue his mission.
In 1st day in the cave Sam immediately breaking through the 3rd stage.
The 2nd day past with Sam breaking again and reaching the 4th level, Along with his breakthroughs he received 1000 points too.
2 other days passed with Sam only breaking through one more stage reaching the 5th stage.
Currently, with the booster, Sam was at the 10th stage of bronze rank.
Sam with his new and improved power was sure to get out the waterfall fast enough for the serpent to not notice him but before he could leave, Sam noticed a bunch of items on the side of him.
He went to look at what they were and immediately saw that it was a bunch of items.
As if Sam had two other legs he ran towards the items and immediately looked at what they were.
In front of him currently was 3 items, 1 jar, 1 sword and finally 1 old looking book.
Without even touching the sword Sam felt the pressure from it.
He stretched his hand towards the sword and grabbed it from the handle.
The moment he did he felt his power rise and his aura expanded few more meters.
Sam immediately drew out the sword and started slashing the sword.
He could feel the sword cut through the wind and leaving a sharp cut in the air.
He moved on to the next item which was the book, Sam took a look at the title and saw the following 4 words "One with the sword".
He had a quick look through the book and immediately knew that the book was quite rare.
Inside the book was a sword skill, it had 12 levels. The skill focused on building links with the user, each level gave you 12 links and with each level you power would increase by 50% and when the skill was mastered it would give a max boost of 600%.
Sam immediately took the technique and tried to learn it, The first step was to feed your sword with soul power and thanks to the boost from his item he gained a pretty good advantage and felt the first link slowly appearing.
The trace of the link only appeared after he had fed the sword for 1 hour but Sam had no more time to waste in this place so he immediately did what he could do and opened a new box.
1000 points went away and his point dropped to 120 points, when the points changed a new item appeared by the name of [**Speed**]
The item gave the following boost
Speed: x25
The equipment had only one effect but it gave him the advantage to go way faster than a person in the lower half of copper rank.
Sam unequipped [**Minium**] and equipped [**Speed**], the moment he did he sped out of the cave after storeing the other 2 items and keeping the swords on his waist.
Now with the speed boost he could travel miles in a minute.
The first thing he did was clear the rest of the mission, which did involve killing different types of animals for their fur, claws, fangs, and meat.
Which didn't take long as he immediately finished with the new speed boost, he gained 500 points from all the mission he just finished and now it was time for him to farm from killing all the beasts he met.
