A golden light descended.
Yang Yu advanced from level 1 to level 2.
All five attributes increased by 5 points, along with 5 Free Attributes.
After a brief consideration.
Yang Yu allocated all 5 Free Attributes to Agility.
At this moment, Yang Yu's Agility increased significantly, from the initial 5 points to 15 points.
Yang Yu's fastest shooting speed now tripled compared to before.
He could shoot three arrows in two seconds!
The most crucial part is.
With the increase in Agility, Yang Yu's kiting ability improved greatly.
In future encounters with group monsters like the Mottled Toad, there was no need to worry at all.
After allocating the points, Yang Yu opened the attribute panel.
[Zongjiu Kuangge] (Class Advancement not yet completed)
Level: 2 (0/300)
Health: 139
Mana: 140
Physical Attack: 22 (10*2+2)
Physical Defense: 15 (13+2)
Magic Defense: 14
Speed: 15
Prestige: 0
Fortune: Hidden
Talent: [Bloodfiend Poison Body]: Deals 40 true damage per second to the target, lasting 10 seconds.
Seeing these attributes, Yang Yu nodded silently.
The attributes after leveling up to level 2 were almost a comprehensive doubling compared to level 1.
This also showed that in the world of [Heavenly Dao], it was very difficult to fight across levels.
Although Yang Yu's strength wasn't high, he didn't lack damage, and his defense and health were gradually increasing.
His biggest shortcoming now was speed.
So, he allocated all the upgrade attribute points to Agility.
Suppressing the joy in his heart.
Yang Yu stepped forward to the last Mottled Toad's corpse, extended his right hand, and chose to absorb its toxins.
[Ding!]
[Note: You can absorb toxins from creatures below your level, but this won't enhance the strength of [Bloodfiend Poison Body]!]
As expected.
Before killing this Mottled Toad, Yang Yu had already guessed this outcome, which is why he deliberately didn't attack this Mottled Toad.
He even worried it would die too quickly, racing against time, absorbing the toxins from the four Mottled Toads.
[Bloodfiend Poison Body] was incredibly powerful, but it couldn't be without limits, especially in terms of absorbing biological toxins.
Seeing this result, Yang Yu wasn't discouraged.
Since he couldn't absorb toxins below his level to grow, it seemed reasonable to absorb a bit more at each stage's bottleneck, right?
Retracting his thoughts.
Yang Yu checked the system map.
Although there were still many Mottled Toads here, level 1 monsters could no longer provide any additional value to Yang Yu.
Even if they came to him, Yang Yu was too lazy to kill them.
According to the map information, the Pine Forest mainly had two types of monsters, level 2 Redblotch Wolf Spiders and level 3 Silver Ring Snakes.
Yang Yu chose to go there because both types of monsters were poisonous!
Without further delay, Yang Yu quickly moved towards the Pine Forest.
Just after leaving the Marshland, Yang Yu unexpectedly saw the two people who had blocked him before.
The process of hunting Mottled Toads seemed long, but in reality, Yang Yu's monster-killing time was less than three minutes.
Even with the experiment time, only five minutes had passed.
At this moment, the two hadn't left.
Seeing Yang Yu running quickly, the two laughed heartily, with a bit of smugness on their faces.
"Buddy, we were right, weren't we? That Mottled Toad is impossible to kill. You got killed back in just a few minutes, learned your lesson, huh?"
"If you had listened to us earlier and teamed up to hunt Red-Eyed Rabbits, we might have already snagged two monsters by now."
"But it's not too late now, we can still help you level up, but you can't take the last hit on the rabbits. After we level up, we'll help you..."
The two were about to continue.
But Yang Yu swiftly brushed past them without stopping.
Leaving only a wisp of breeze in the air.
"So... so fast..."
"Mazi, did you just check his level? He seems to be level 2..."
"Impossible! The game just launched ten minutes ago, and he was in that Marshland for just a few minutes. How could he level up to 2 so quickly? You must have seen it wrong!"
"Then... then if he's not level 2, how could he be so fast?"
"This..."
"A newbie player's Agility can only be up to 10 points, and his speed just now was clearly more than 10 points!"
"Could he really have soloed the Mottled Toad and leveled up to 2 in just five minutes?"
"A master, he's a real master!"
"Damn, feels like we missed out on millions..."
"Mazi, let's try that Mottled Toad again, maybe we can kill it too!"
"Let's go!"
The two, full of enthusiasm, decided to challenge the Mottled Toad again.
On the other side, Yang Yu, after a ten-minute jog, had reached the edge of the Pine Forest.
The surroundings were quiet, seemingly untouched by others.
After a moment of contemplation.
Yang Yu removed the [Void Quiver], once again cutting his wrist with a knife.
"-7"
"-7"
Two cuts, losing a total of 14 health points.
Yang Yu divided out a storage slot, filled it with the freshly collected blood, and inserted 14 Spiritual Qi Arrows.
These 14 Spiritual Qi Arrows could cause monsters to lose 40 health points per second.
Plus the 10 true damage from the Spiritual Qi Arrows themselves, even ignoring Yang Yu's own attack power, they could at least deal 410 damage to monsters!
With everything ready.
Yang Yu entered the Pine Forest.
Suddenly.
A flash of silver light darted from the branches, rushing towards Yang Yu's face!
Yang Yu reacted swiftly, instantly maximizing his Agility, tilting his head, sidestepping, and retreating.
He quickly retreated five meters away!
And threw an Appraisal at the monster ahead.
[Silver Ring Snake] (Ordinary Monster)
Level: 3
Attack: 28
Defense: 16
Agility: 18
Skill: [Silver Snake Flash Strike]
[Note]: It is a highly venomous snake in this Pine Forest, not only is its venom potent, but it is also extremely fast and aggressive. Once bitten by its fangs, you will lose 10 health per second for 10 seconds!
As expected of a level 3 poisonous creature.
Not something an ordinary level 2 player could challenge across levels.
Even with Yang Yu's current attributes, without Spiritual Qi Arrows and poisoned attacks, he couldn't face it head-on.
The Silver Ring Snake's Agility was as high as 18 points, 3 points higher than Yang Yu's.
And the Silver Ring Snake only needed one venom attack to cause a normal player to lose 100 health points continuously.
A normal player's health at level 2 was generally between 100-150 points, and if they focused on health, it might be a bit higher.
One bite from the Silver Ring Snake was enough to take half of most players' lives!
After some thought.
Yang Yu didn't make a move but turned to leave.
His current target was the Redblotch Wolf Spider, and he could hunt the Silver Ring Snake after reaching level 3!
Yang Yu wanted to leave, but the highly aggressive Silver Ring Snake wouldn't let him go, falling from the branches and quickly chasing after him.
Yang Yu's speed was 3 points lower than the Silver Ring Snake's, making it difficult to shake it off by running normally.
With no other choice, Yang Yu had to draw a Poisoned Spiritual Qi Arrow left from killing the Mottled Toad.
Turning back, he shot an arrow at the Silver Ring Snake!
"-16"
"-11..."
Yang Yu's arrow not only repelled the Silver Ring Snake but also put it into a poisoned state.
The originally silver-white snake skin quickly took on a bluish-green hue, continuously losing health!
The Silver Ring Snake's speed greatly reduced, and Yang Yu quickly widened the distance.
"The Silver Ring Snake came from the right side of the forest, let's check the left side!"
Yang Yu changed direction, quickly running towards the left area.
Three minutes later.
Yang Yu indeed found a Redblotch Wolf Spider in the forest.
It was the size of an adult's fist, hanging upside down between two pine trees, spinning a dark red web in the air.
The spider silk was dense and extremely creepy.
Yang Yu looked around.
He found that not only between these two pine trees were there Redblotch Wolf Spiders, but also in the air not far away, there were webs of various sizes, each with a poisonous spider on it.
They were either lurking, web-spinning, or feeding.
Even after spotting Yang Yu, they seemed uninterested in attacking, each staying on their respective webs.
Yang Yu threw an Appraisal, immediately seeing the Redblotch Wolf Spider's attributes.
[Redblotch Wolf Spider] (Ordinary Monster)
Level: 2
Health: 300
Magic Attack: 20
Defense: 11
Agility: 10
Skill: [Poison Web]
[Note]: They are the silent killers of the Pine Forest. Don't be fooled by their quiet demeanor and beautiful appearance; they are highly poisonous, and even their webs contain venom!
Once you touch their web, you will immediately fall into a slowed, paralyzed state, greatly reducing your speed, making escape difficult, and losing 6 health per second for 15 seconds!
