C27

I quickly activated the Level 2 Shield of Glory and at the same time, gulped down a Blood Awakening Pill. I was so scared that my face almost turned deathly pale.

He raised his shield, and his body sank. His aura seemed to have become one with nature, and his defense was complete.

"Clang, clang ~"

Another two crisp sounds rang out, this time it was not that bad, but it still lost 500 points of qi and blood. It was clearly visible that Lin Che's second Body Securing Spell had flown up and stunned the Boss with a "pa" sound, interrupting Zywane and I as we retreated despite being on the verge of death. Wang Jinghai, on the other hand, was holding onto his gun.

"Zywane, stall the Boss."

I urged my mount to retreat quickly and increase the distance between me and the Boss so that I could reach the closest distance to Charge.

Zywane, clad in armour, had flames in his arms. He looked like an expert as he struck the Queen Bee's abdomen with his Fiery Palm, dealing 442 damage. This was the skill of a Level 20 Martial Monk — Fiery Cloud Palm. It was not weak at all.

"Shua!"

The pace of the battle had reached a certain point. The moment the aggro shifted towards Lin Che, I charged again. After all, my level had increased quite a bit, and my dizziness had succeeded. Following that, another set of skills fell.

Although the Blood Awakening Pill could heal instantly, it had a cooldown of 5 seconds. The system couldn't set a rule that would allow a player to drink unlimited amounts of blood. Otherwise, RMB players would be invincible.

When Zywane steps back, I, alone, bear the BOSS's firepower for 3 seconds. In other words, defense skills can only be used once within 3 seconds, which is a good thing that Queen Bee's physical attack speed is not fast, so I can defend against most of her attacks. Furthermore, it doesn't affect my damage output at all.

Lin Che continuously pulled out talismans while observing his surroundings. "We're grinding mobs at the back, lure them to the left."

Everyone coordinated well and slowly ground the BOSS's blood. Although Queen Bee had ten thousand HP, her Qi and blood ran out within two minutes. Although Zywane and I had been beaten to a bloody state, she had also been beaten up by the two ranged players and had wounds all over her body.

"The flying beasts will one day descend upon us once more — revenge!"

Right before she died, Queen Bee let out an angry roar that shook the entire Venomous Bee Forest, and immediately after, she collapsed onto the ground and sent four rays of light flying towards the four of us. In an instant, rain fell and everyone levelled up, the level 27 Boss' experience was extremely generous, it even caused me to level up to level 2, reaching level 24.

"Hualala ~ ~ ~"

The sound of a bundle being rummaged rang out. Lin Che had already gone to inspect the Boss' corpse. His face was filled with surprise and joy. Holding up a blood-red cloak, he smiled and said, "Brother Chen, your cloak is here!"

"Huh?"

He threw it out and I scanned through it.

[Forest King's Cloak] (darksteel weapon)

Type: Armor

Defense: 60

Strength: + 11

Additional: Increases user's defense by 2%

Level Required: 24

… ….

It just so happens that it is suitable for me to use. I gave the cloak to Zywane last time. This time, he put it on for me.

[Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]

Level: 24

Attack: 198-308 (+ 10%)

Defense: 280 (+ 12%)

Qi and blood: 2928

Zhen Qi: 100/100

Luck: 2

Transcendence: 4

Combat Power: 1133

… ….

With a terrifying 280 point defense and a 12% stun buff, fighting a melee player would be no problem at this stage of the game.

To one side, Lin Che continued to open up the equipment. A Darksteel Leather Armour Bracer was given to Hai Yang as a new sword. Although it was a bronze weapon, its attribute was very strong.

After taking a few steps forward, a giant beehive appeared. The surroundings were filled with bugs, making my eyes light up. I quickly scanned through all of them and asked, "Zywane, how many spaces do you have left in your bag?"

"74." He glanced at it.

"Alright, help me carry 500 copies of the Blue Ear."

"En, alright!" He agreed straightforwardly. Originally, part of the function of pulling him into the studio was "warehouse number", but now it was already beginning to show its effects.

Lin Che smiled and said, "Brother Chen, I also have more than 30 spaces. Ten medicinal herbs per set, I can help you carry more than 300."

"No rush, let's talk on the next map."

I opened up the map. To the north of the Poisonous Bee Forest is the Bamboo Chicken Ridge. It is said that it is a place where dragon anemones are produced.

On closer look, it's a wild chicken monster that's hidden under a tree. Demonized Bamboo Chicken, a level 27 Mysterious-Iron monster. It's a monster that's more suited to our current level, and it's also safer to kill.

The soldiers split into two, sweeping away the Bamboo Chicken Ridge.

Half an hour later, they were stepping on the corpses of bamboo chickens. After a quick inspection, he found a small tree that was glowing. It was a cluster of plants covered with dense black granule fruits. They had found the dragon anemone!

After half an hour, they had found half of a Dragon Helianthus in Bamboo Chicken Ridge, but there were 200 fruits on one Dragon Helianthus. Soon, there were more than 20 sets of Dragon Helianthus in the bag, and then they went ahead, and while they were training, they found another two. In total, they had already found 600 Dragon Helianthus, and after carrying Lin Che for a little bit, two hours would be over.

"Now, to the Greedy Wolf Forest?" Lin Che asked.

"Yes."

"Greedy Wolf Forest is quite far from here, we need to go through two maps. We will start to run on the map, I will slow down my pace and pull the aggro of the monsters, you guys follow me and run, we will not fight monsters along the way, only by arriving at the Greedy Wolf Forest as fast as possible will we be able to make a fortune."

"Understood!"

Calling the donkey forward, Lin Che ignored the bunch of Level 25 Green Helmet Goblins in front of him. Lin Che, Zhang Wei, and Hai Yang followed closely behind. Lin Che laughed: "These goblins are really interesting. Don't you think it's strange for them to be wearing a green helmet and baring their fangs and brandishing their claws?"

I was speechless. "They are just a bunch of creatures scattered around in a foreign world … "There are very few things to pursue, and very few things to care about, so there is less trouble."

Zywane's expression turned grim. "Why did I suddenly have some life experiences?"

"Cut the crap. Follow up. I don't care if you get hacked to death by the Goblins."

After escaping through the goblins' kitchen knives and blocking the lizard monster's lance, we finally arrived at a green grass forest that was like smoke. The entire forest was suffused with a faint color of blood and howls of wolves could be heard. At the same time, there was a temporary resupplying camp outside of the forest.

There were pharmacists, blacksmiths, and materials here. In addition, there were more than ten human soldiers guarding this place, and right outside, a captain of a base regiment, who had broken armour and was leaning on a rusty metal sword, was sighing deeply. Clearly, he had a mission here.

Moreover, seeing that Greedy Wolf was still wandering around the outskirts of the Forest of Greed, it was obvious that no players had been here before. After all, Greed was at least Level 28, so most players at this stage would not dare to come.

Walking forward, I raised my bronze sword and asked, "Sir, is there anything that I can help you with?"

Apparently, he stayed up late for a long time, and said, "Young adventurer, I'm glad to see you. We are members of the guard regiment from the Great Deer City, we were ordered to guard here a month ago to protect the few manors behind us, but the Tan Lang Forest is not peaceful, a few greedy wolves often come out to attack our supply team, we haven't eaten anything in a week, young man, do you have any food?"

"Nope." I shook my head.

He was a little disappointed. "Then... "It's fine now."

I added, "Maybe I can kill some wolves and get you some meat."

"What?"

He was surprised. "Those greedy wolves are fierce and cruel, even some of the trained heavy cavalry soldiers from the Great Deer City are not their match. Do you have the ability to kill Tan Lang?"

"I can try."

"That's great." He was ecstatic, he straightened his body and said proudly: "Young adventurer, if you can enter the Greedy Wolf Forest, and kill a hundred Greedy Wolves and bring back ten portions of Greedy Wolf meat, it would be equivalent to saving our entire resident army, thank you very much!"

"Ding!"

System Notification: Congratulations, your team has accepted the quest [Clear Wolf Forest] (Level E Mission)!

Quest Details: Enter the Greedy Wolf Forest, kill 100 Greedy Wolves, and give 10 portions of Greedy Wolf meat to the resident troop leader Mo Lin. You will receive a very generous reward!

… ….

The quest was in hand, and it was a team quest. Everyone had it, and the next step was to enter the Greedy Wolf Forest to kill the monsters.

As they walked along a rugged path towards the forest, the howls of the wolves could be heard in the distance, giving off a feeling of nervousness. Several dozen yards away, a huge wolf at least two meters long sat on the ground, howling into the sky.

Under the moonlight, the fur all over his body was pulsating with a devilish crimson radiance. He was a Greedy Wolf who was on sentry duty.

As I expected, the level 28 Mysterious-Iron Monster, Greedy Wolf Forest's blood color is a bit deeper than the other surrounding maps, and the monsters' level is bound to be a little higher as well. If a normal team does not have the same combat power as us, I'm afraid they will have to wait until level 28 to accept the quest and kill the monsters.

"Level 28 Greedy Wolf, 3400 HP. Its attack is very high. It's much easier to kill than a Goblin with high Attack and HP."

Lin Che grinned. "It's starting."

"Let's start!"

The [Body Securing Technique] + [Charge], took care of the battle in three seconds. Greed collapsed to the ground with a whimper. He had a lot of EXP, so I would probably be able to level up after killing about 200 of them.
