Song Jian stowed away his bamboo shovel and ran toward the direction from which the roar was coming.
Hunting a Lord-level BOSS and obtaining a perfect quality core was also one of the assessment targets, but the area around Sword Pond Lake was just home to some ordinary monsters of levels 50-60. Not to mention a Lord-level BOSS, he hadn't even seen an Elite-level BOSS. Seeking out a BOSS required not just experience, but also a certain amount of luck.
Having heard that low growl just moments ago, Song Jian knew his luck had come. After hunting so many monsters, he could distinguish the level of a monster by its roar. The monster that had just roared was at least a Lord-level BOSS, maybe even a Sovereign-level!
Xin Ling was startled to see Song Jian give up continuing to gather Red Sword Grass and run off into the distance. She didn't know what he was planning to do, but she didn't stand still and instead followed him without hesitation.
