  After the instant kill of the Wild Wolf, Snow Chaser was also greatly shocked. She sneakily observed Li Yi. Then, she asked curiously, “Where are we going?”

  “Hehe! You’ll know once we get there.” Li Yi did not explain too much.

  An hour later, the two of them climbed over a small hill. Monsters of all sizes appeared around them, just like green goo. These things were good at poison attacks.

  This was the first mysterious location away from the Novice Village. However, it was an area that could spawn elite-level monsters. In his previous life, when he knew about this location, his level was already too high for the monsters here. So, he had no reason to come here.

  However, his current level was just right. He had just gotten a lot of equipment. It was a very good choice to come here to level up.

  Snow Chaser looked at the harmless green goo in front of her and directly went forward to check the attributes of the monster.

  [Level 6 Green Mud Monster (elite)]

  [Vitality: 2,000]

  [Physical Attack: 135]

  [Physical Defense: 40]

  [Other: Attack with poison]

  When Snow Chaser saw this powerful attribute, she was so scared that she stepped back in fear. She turned around and asked, puzzled.

  “What are we doing here? The attributes of these monsters are too high. We can’t beat them. Let’s go and fight the Black Rats, Wild Wolves, and other monsters, shall we?”

  Snow Chaser felt that it was impossible to fight these monsters now. She might be killed in one hit.

  “Form a party. Otherwise, you won’t get any experience.”

  Li Yi immediately sent out a party request.

  After Snow Chaser agreed, she realized that the other party was already level 5. She said in surprise, “You’re leveling up so fast. You’re already level 5. However, this elite monster is still not easy to fight. Its attributes are really too high.”

  “I’ll go up and fight the monster. You stay behind and be careful not to be attacked.”

  Li Yi did not explain. He directly headed towards the Green Mud Monster. Only by using his strength could he make her give up on the idea of leaving.

  Li Yi walked forward and entered the aggro range of the Green Mud Monster. The two elite-level Green Mud Monsters also aggressively jumped towards him.

  When he was about a few steps away, a tentacle with green goo extended from the monster’s body and pulled towards him.

  “-63.”

  “-66.”

  “-40! Poison Damage”

  “-40! Poison Damage” ……

  Li Yi was being attacked. This time, red and green numbers appeared above his head.

  Snow Chaser watched from the side as the two Green Mud Monsters surrounded him. Li Yi’s calm expression caused Snow Chaser to cover her mouth in shock. She could not believe what was happening before her eyes.

  “This……” Snow Chaser’s understanding of the game was pretty good. Otherwise, she would not have become a famous healing mage in her past life. This round of attacks, together with the poison attack, had already caused him to lose at least 200 HP.

  Logically speaking, he should have fallen a long time ago. However, at this moment, as if nothing had happened, his HP Bar had only decreased by a small amount. Moreover, his HP recovered rapidly.

  Snow Chaser immediately looked at his HP bar information carefully. Only then did she realize that the other party’s HP was almost over 5,000. It was no wonder that he was not afraid of fighting two elite-level green mud monsters alone.

  “Could he be an SS-grade talent?”

  Snow Chaser shook her head. She felt that her brain was a little muddled. This game had mentioned a little bit about the possibility of an SS-grade talent being one in a billion. Yet, she had encountered one just like that?

  Could it be that he was the legendary European Emperor?

  At this moment, Li Yi saw that the monster had entered the attack range and immediately activated his skill.

  “Raging Blood Roar!”

  “-407.”

  “-417.” ……

  While the two Green Mud Monsters were stunned, Li Yi took the opportunity to attack the head of one of the Green Mud Monsters with his double-edged sword.

  “Combo!”

  The double-edged sword in his hand instantly slashed out two slashes, it had accurately hit the head of the monster in front of him.

  “-257! Weak Point Damage!”

  “-504! ! Weak Point Damage, Critical Hit!”

  There was no time to react.

  “Heavy Strike!”

  “-561! Weak Point Damage!”

  The Combo skill was indeed very good, and he could even forcefully use Heavy Strike to end the monster. However, this combo required a certain level of control and proficiency in the skill, or else it would definitely become a missed hit!

  This was not a game, but it was a virtual reality that mimicked real life. Many places were designed according to reality.

  After using Heavy Strike, Combo could not be used. This was the result of many people’s experiments.

  The 2,000 HP elite monster was instantly reduced to a low HP state in a second. To some players, this was as exciting as a horror movie!

  The Green Mud Monster had already changed its shape after being heavily injured. However, it quickly recovered. It let out a scream and prepared to launch a fierce attack.

  Li Yi’s attack speed was now 1.4. The speed of his sword was even faster than that of an elite monster!

  “176.”

  [Talent Trigger: Obtained 20 HP, 0.2 HP Recovery/second ] ……

  At this moment, a golden light appeared all over Snow Chaser’s body. A large amount of experience from an elite monster had directly raised her level from 60% of level 1 to 25% of Level 2. This kind of leveling speed was probably something that no one in the entire server could achieve.

  Fighting monsters that were higher in level would give her the most experience. Moreover, it was an extremely strong elite-level monster.

  Snow Chaser said excitedly, “I leveled up to level 2 so quickly. That was really quick!!!”

  Snow Chaser had experienced situations where players had fought many monsters in the wild monster area. After fighting for so long, she had barely reached 60% of level 1. She had always felt that this was how leveling up was, extremely timely and difficult.

  However, at this moment, she realized that leveling up was actually so simple. She had leveled up in just a few seconds.

  “Thank you so much!!”

  Snow Chaser was also pleasantly surprised. She had understood some of the rules of the game. Helping people level up was equal to sharing an experience. She had leveled up without even using any strength.

  Snow Chaser silently decided that she would definitely repay him properly in the future. She definitely could not continue receiving help like this.

  “-51.”

  “-40. Poison Damage!”

  The remaining Green Mud Monster used its attack to interrupt the conversation between the two.

  Li Yi moved his feet to the left to dodge its next attack. He waved the weapon in his hand and swung it at it. The attack pattern of the Green Mud Monster was not very complicated. After Li Yi slashed a few times, he used Heavy Strike to end the battle. ……

  In the next few hours. The two of them had a clear division of labor. One fought the monsters, and the other collected the items.

  The elite monsters had a lot of EXP. Li Yi had also reached level 6!

  Relying on his SSS-grade talent, Blood Devour effect, his HP had reached an astonishing 8,385.

  Snow Chaser had also just reached level 5. She could not wait to put on the equipment that she had obtained during this period of time. There were three pieces of equipment — green leather clothing, green leather pants, and a green leather hat.

  Although the green leather clothes looked strange, they were definitely good clothes that outlined one’s figure.

  The loose beginner’s clothes that the system had given her could not be seen as an appealing outfit. However, when she put on the small leather clothes and leather pants, her proud figure was completely revealed. It was somewhat intoxicating and enticing.

  Snow Chaser also turned around on the spot and said, “How is it?! Does it look good?”

  Li Yi came back to his senses and said, “Not bad, this leather suit suits you!”

  “You’re Level 5 now, it’s time to go back and learn some skills. Magic Apprentice’s have two skills in the early stage, a small fireball spell, and a healing spell. Learn all of them.”

  “Okay! I’ll go back immediately. This way, I can participate in killing monsters!!”

  Snow Chaser ran towards the village excitedly. ……

  Li Yi continued to walk forward and found a green treasure chest behind a huge rock!

  “A boss treasure chest??”

  Li Yi went forward and opened it. Since the surrounding monsters had been cleared by him, there was no need to be afraid even if the boss came out.

  [System notification: Treasure chest opening, 30 seconds countdown.]

  [System notification: Treasure chest opening, Countdown time: 29 seconds.] ……

  After the countdown ended, the treasure chest immediately trembled. Then, golden light filled the entire cabin, and several items flew out from it.

  Li Yi immediately went forward to pick it up and began to check the loot.

  [Item: Defensive potion recipe ]

  [Effect: After drinking the defensive potion, the level will increase by 15 levels within an hour, as well as 10% physical and magic defense. The effects can not be stacked.]

  “This is definitely a good item. It is definitely one of the necessary potions to kill the boss. I did not expect to get it so easily.”

  He immediately put away his bag and looked at the remaining piece of equipment.

  [Equipment: Lock Leg Binding]

  [Quality: Excellent]

  [Physical Defense: 11]

  [Excellent Attributes: Strength +3, Stamina +5]

  [Equipment Requirements: Level 5]

  It was not bad. Li Yi directly swapped his gear and his defense increased to 57 points…… Currently, most of the players were around level 2 to level 4, which was almost comparable to the attack of some players who did not have high-level equipment.

  Chapter 14: The King of the Green Mud Monsters, Bramble Effect Damage

  Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

  Not long after, Li Yi opened the green treasure chest, and the ground began to tremble. It was as if something was trying to emerge from the ground.

  “Roar!!”

  An angry roar came from afar, and countless cracks appeared on the ground. Soon after, a large amount of green goo spewed out from the cracks from the ground. Li Yi observed as the green goo slowly formed into a creature.

  As soon as this huge Green Mud Monster appeared, it loudly roared. It spewed out large amounts of venom from its mouth, and sprayed it into every corner. This turned the ground into a poisonous swamp.

  Li Yi immediately went forward to check its attributes.

  [Boss: Level 7 King of Green Mud Monsters]

  [Rarity: Black-iron]

  [HP: 8,000]

  [Physical Attack: 375]

  [Physical Defense: 180]

  [Magic Defense: 50]

  [Boss Skill: ???]

  [Black-iron Skill: ???] ……

  Aside from the fact that Li Yi’s HP was much higher than the boss’s, the other attributes of the boss were much lower.

  “Chi!”

  “-20! Poison Damage!”

  Li Yi had only taken a few steps forward when he was hit by the poison. The range of the poison followed the movement of the boss. This meant that it was impossible to pull the boss out to fight. However, the damage was not too high for Li Yi, so there was no need to be afraid.

  Li Yi quickly circled behind the boss. At this moment, he could reach the vital spot on the top of the boss’s head. He took advantage of this weak spot when the boss turned around to attack. Then, Li Yi immediately let out an angry roar.

  “Raging Blood Roar!”

  Li Yi gathered huge amounts of energy in his body and charged fiercely towards the direction of the monster. However, this time, the stun lasted less than a second. Under normal circumstances, the boss would have an anti-status attribute.

  “-650!”

  While the boss was still stunned, the pairing of the attack Combo and Heavy Strike directly hit the boss.

  “-45.”

  “-60.”

  “-189! Critical Hit”

  The King of Green Mud Monsters, which was as big as a tank, woke up from the pain and whipped its long tentacles.

  “-310.”

  The boss’s attack was a little scary, as the attack points allowed it to deal so much damage. Not only that, it had a moderately high defense. If it was anyone else, they would easily die if they did not have enough defense points.

  Li Yi did not back down from the attack. Although this boss’s attack range was very wide, its huge body’s speed would definitely become much slower.

  With his HP summing up to more than 8,000 points, alongside his terrifying recovery speed, as long as he carefully dodged the attacks swiftly, he would not need to be too anxious even if he was hit a few times.

  He continued to play a push and pull game as he waited for the cooldown of his skills to recover. He went up and used Raging Blood War, Combo, and Heavy Strike.

  Not long after, the HP of the King of Green Mud Monsters had reached around 20%. Li Yi had been observing its HP all this while.

  However, when the monster just reached 20% HP, it immediately stopped attacking.

  “Roar!!!”

  It immediately let out an angry roar. Its body suddenly expanded to nearly twice its original size, and its entire body oozed with green goo.

  “Huh? It looks like the boss is about to use the skill Berserk?”

  Li Yi immediately took a step back. The attributes of using the skill Berserk had doubled its points, and it even gave the boss a special skill.

  He definitely could not face the boss head-on!

  Li Yi also seemed to be unlucky as the probability of this boss using Berserk was actually very low. Unless it was a special boss, players would rarely experience bosses like these to use the Berserk skill.

  The King of Green Mud Monster then let out a furious roar. A large amount of venom gushed out from its body and spread out in the surroundings. It actually formed a huge wave that rushed towards Li Yi!

  “Hu!”

  Li Yi had been directly hit!

  “-500! Poison Damage!”

  [System Notification: You have received the King of Green Mud Monster’s berserk attack. You will lose 500 HP per second. Lasts for 5 seconds.]

  “Thank goodness I have a lot of HP and a fast recovery speed!”

  Li Yi immediately ran into the distance. This berserk mode was not limited to this range. He had only run a few steps when the next wave of the boss’s attack came.

  Li Yi immediately jumped onto a rock in the distance and dodged the boss’s berserk skill. If he stayed in the boss’s range of attack, even if he had more than 8,000 HP, he would not be able to withstand it.

  Li Yi then sat on the rock and watched as the boss went berserk.

  This King of Green Mud Monsters seemed to be having a good time. It actually did not stop there and continued on with its attack. It carried on, the third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave…… until many waves occurred, it happened until it was almost impossible for Li Yi to keep count.

  At this moment, the monster spewed out the attacks like a bottomless pit, with countless venom stored in it. Even after it had spit out its attack so many times, it did not seem to have any intention of stopping. ……

  After nearly a good ten minutes, the King of Green Mud Monsters finally stopped roaring, and the green goo around its body weakened.

  [System Notification: The King of Green Mud Monsters has ended its Berserked state. It has entered a weakened state for 5 minutes. Defense, attack, and movement speed have been reduced by 80%!]

  Li Yi immediately stood up and walked towards the boss. At this moment, the boss still wanted to fight back. However, its speed had been reduced by too much. He could easily dodge the attack and directly use Raging Blood Roar, Combo, and Heavy Strike on it.

  “-670!”

  “-143.”

  “-184.”

  “-307.” ……

  [Talent Trigger: Obtained 80 HP, 0.8 HP Recovery/second]

  Under Li Yi’s continuous attacks, the monster quickly died. It surged forward as a final attempt to attack him and died. With that, it also dropped many items.

  There was a gold coin, a green staff, and a green book.

  “Another skill book?”

  [Item: Bramble Reflect Damage (skill book)]

  [Usage requirement: Apprentice Warrior]

  [Effect: Passive skill. All physical damage received will be reflected back with 5% true damage!]

  It was actually a passive skill that reflected damage. This was a perfect match for him. Coupled with his SSS grade talent — Blood Devour, it was definitely another much-needed skill.

  By relying on his talent to increase his health, as well as his health recovery speed, he could even stand still and wait for his enemy to be injured to death. However, it was a pity that he could not reflect damage from magic. It was no matter now that he had gained a new reflective skill for physical attacks!

  [Equipment: Emerald Scepter]

  [Rarity: Excellent]

  [Magic Attack: 42]

  [Excellent Attribute: Intelligence +7, Spirit +5]

  [Equipment Condition: Level 5]

  “This is not bad. Snow Chaser is definitely well suited to use this weapon. With the increase in damage, it would help me easily defeat other monsters!”

  The healing ability of a healing mage meant that the higher the intelligence, the more HP the healing mage would have. This could be considered a top-tier scepter. ……
