...
Seeing his skyrocketing attributes, Chen Lang was overjoyed.
The biggest increase was in attack. With the Qingfeng Dagger equipped, the upper limit reached a terrifying 68 points!
"Come on, little piglet, let's test you out first!"
Chen Lang took a deep breath to calm his excitement, then dashed towards the nearest porcupine. The Qingfeng Dagger flashed, and Assault was activated, stabbing fiercely into the porcupine's forehead!
Then, Chen Lang quickly moved behind the porcupine, stabbing twice more at its forehead, one normal attack and one Backstab!
"-134!"
"-59"
"-160!"
Three red numbers floated up, and the porcupine's long health bar instantly dropped below half, the damage was simply terrifying!
"Roar!"
"-13"
The porcupine went berserk, roaring and biting at Chen Lang, but even using its skill, it only dealt 13 points of damage.
In no time, the porcupine was down, while Chen Lang had lost less than a fifth of his health.
"Only 18 experience points."
Chen Lang picked up over twenty copper coins from the ground, twirled the dagger in his hand, and then walked deeper into the forest.
After walking for over ten minutes, the groups of porcupines began to thin out, replaced by large red hedgehogs.
Chen Lang cast Insight Art on a hedgehog.
[Blood Hedgehog]
Level: 5
Attack: 30
Health: 800
Skill: Spine Barrage...
Chen Lang just glanced at it and didn't make a move, continuing deeper into the forest.
After another twenty minutes, a new type of beast appeared.
[Elk]
Level: 6
Attack: 35
Defense: 22
Health: 1000
Skill: Horn Pierce...
Looking at the herd of elk in front of him, Chen Lang hesitated for a moment but still didn't attack, moving further away.
Finally, after another twenty minutes, wild wolves appeared in his sight.
[Wild Wolf]
Level: 8
Attack: 40
Defense: 28
Health: 1500
Skill: Savage Bite...
This time, Chen Lang finally stopped. The appearance of level 8 wild wolves was somewhat unexpected.
But it was exactly what he wanted.
Assault activated, Chen Lang dashed over in a few steps, raising the Qingfeng Dagger and stabbing fiercely into the wolf's waist, then followed with a normal attack and Backstab, executing a combo.
"-66"
"-110!"
"-72"
Even though he attacked the wild wolf's weak point, only one critical hit appeared, but even so, the wolf's health bar dropped significantly.
"Howl!"
The wild wolf howled to the sky, launching a counterattack at Chen Lang, biting fiercely into his thigh, dealing 23 points of damage.
The wild wolf's attack was as high as 40 points, while Chen Lang's defense was only 34 points, reducing damage by about 40%, but the actual damage was still quite high.
Of course, with Chen Lang's current 180 health points, it was still manageable.
"Bang!"
Chen Lang swung his dagger again, the blue light flashing, dealing 56 points of damage. Then he slid his foot, moving in a zigzag pattern to perfectly dodge the wolf's next attack, and then struck again at the wolf's waist, this time landing a critical hit!
"-112"
A blood-red number floated from the wolf's head, and the wolf went into a frenzy, activating its Savage Bite skill.
"-22"
"-23"
Three consecutive damage numbers floated up, and Chen Lang's health bar dropped to half.
"Damn it!"
Chen Lang didn't dare to be careless, swinging his dagger repeatedly, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the wild wolf.
The wild wolf had a massive 1500 health points, almost as much as the Poison Bee King. Chen Lang exerted all his strength, even drinking a healing potion during the fight, before finally taking down the wild wolf.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations on killing [Wild Wolf], gaining 112 experience points (extra reward: 32 points)."
"This wild wolf is quite generous!"
Hearing the system alert, Chen Lang was quite satisfied, not expecting an extra reward for killing a higher-level monster.
"Bang!"
He kicked the wild wolf's corpse aside, revealing a silver coin and a sharp stone underneath.
Seeing the silver coin, Chen Lang's eyes lit up.
He had used a Minor Healing Potion to kill the wild wolf, now only 60 points left, needing another healing potion, and this silver coin would just cover the cost of the Minor Healing Potion.
"Level 8 monsters are really generous!"
Chen Lang happily picked up the silver coin, then took a look at the sharp stone.
[Wolf's Tooth, quest item, can be given to the Village Chief of Qingfeng Village for a reward.]
"It should be worth some experience."
Chen Lang put away the wolf tooth, drank another healing potion, and without hesitation, charged towards another wild wolf.
By two in the afternoon, after killing over twenty wild wolves, Chen Lang leveled up again.
"Clatter!"
At the same time, the wild wolf finally dropped its first piece of equipment.
[Wild Wolf Boots] (Leather Armor)
Quality: Black Iron-grade.
Defense: +8
Agility: +4
Required Level: 5
"Good stuff!"
Chen Lang was pleasantly surprised. The drop rate for equipment from small monsters was extremely low; he had killed nearly a hundred porcupines without getting anything, but the wild wolves were quite generous.
He immediately swapped out the cloth shoes he bought from the tailor shop, and once again allocated all five Free Attribute Points from leveling up to strength.
His attack power increased again, reaching 69-73.
His defense also increased by 6 points, reaching 40 points. (Cloth Shoes Defense 2, deducted)
"Keep going!"
After a long day of fighting, Chen Lang felt a bit hungry, but he didn't log off, continuing his rampage.
However, because his level was now one higher, each wild wolf only gave 96 experience points.
And his experience needed for the next level increased to 4000 points, so the experience bar filled much slower.
Of course, his attack and defense had increased again, making it easier to kill wild wolves.
Finally, at five-thirty in the afternoon, after more than three and a half hours of fighting, Chen Lang reached level 7, and his supply of Minor Healing Potions was completely depleted.
But this time, no more equipment dropped.
"Log off, eat, I'm exhausted!"
Finally reaching level 7, Chen Lang was exhausted, sitting down heavily on the ground, and then logging off right there.
