"Clap, clap, clap ~ ~"

Every talisman could only deal 150 damage, and after continuously drawing three talismans, I finally dared to raise my sword to face the hyena head on and struck it, causing 224 damage. As expected, the level suppression cannot be ignored, but this is also good, Lin Che can pull the monster while walking, and I will be responsible for dealing the damage midway, it's very safe.

After spending a total of five talismans, I finally managed to finish off a hyena. In this whole process, I kept on blocking the hyena's attack direction, while Lin Che arced around the hyena, dragging it away from the rest of the hyena, so as to not attract unnecessary aggro. After all, the control and awareness of a Zongshi realm player was absolutely in place.

Wang Jinghai watched the whole battle silently.

"What's the matter, sea?" Zywane asked.

Wang Liuhai took a deep breath, "These two perverts …"

"Why are you cursing at people for no reason at all?"

"..."

… ….

The moment the hyena fell to the ground, the EXP bar suddenly lit up, moving forward by a full 6%. At this speed, killing 17 hyenas should be enough to reach level 9, and the charms bag should also be exhausted. Just like the prophecy from before, getting from level 9 to level 10 would be very difficult.

He continued to kill, killing the hyenas one by one while only losing a Glyph bag, but the more he fought, the more helpless he became, the lower the drop rate was, it was too low, we couldn't even kill a dozen hyenas with white equipment, not to mention bronze equipment, it seems like the dream of our first bronze harvester is doomed to be for naught.

"Shua!"

Golden light scattered and a rain of light fell. After slashing off the 17th hyena, it levelled up. Level 9!

It would be a long term plan to add 10 attribute points to Strength.

"Brother Chen, there are no talismans left."

Lin Che sat on the ground, his voice very serious.

"Let's grind it a little."

I looked at my stats and said, "I have 900 HP now. With only 2 levels left, the Hyena can bite me in one bite, taking around 150 Health Potions, and drinking them all at once. You guys can attack together, especially Hai Yang and Brother Wei, you guys have combined Strength, Endurance and Agility, and have very high Attack Power. After I hit the Hyena with my first strike, you guys can immediately surround me and beat me up.

"OK, no problem, I'll do it that way!"

Hai Yang nodded her head. In fact, she knew that without a better way, she could only slowly gain some experience, which was what almost all Beginner Village players did. After all, players could only leave the Beginner Village and enter the secondary city when they were LV20, and based on experience, players who had been stuck in the Beginner Village for more than a week were common.

They continued to attack.

According to my calculations, after everyone kills a Hyena, I still have about 20% of my HP remaining. I can recover after sitting down and resting for 30 seconds under the condition of a slow recovery potion. Although levelling seems slow, I was still able to beat a Level 2 monster, which is fast enough for most players.

As he sat down to recover his HP, he opened up the forum. He took a glance and discovered that one of the threads had been pinned to the top. It was even matched with a picture. There was a sense of déjà vu about it.

A strange party had appeared in the Novice Village. A well-equipped Knight was out levelling with three Berserkers! Author: Commissioner # 1

Below the post was a screenshot of the four of us going out to play. Impressively, I was walking valiantly in front while holding my sword and shield, while Lin Che, Hai Yang, and Zhang Wei followed behind without any weapons. There were a lot of people replying below the post, basically all of them born in our novice village.

1st poster (player Vast Expanse, Heaven's Edge, my love): I saw it too. After the 4 of them charged into the mob of monsters, they probably died.

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

Third floor (player Tiramisu): How could there be such a person …

4th floor (Player you're bad, you're bad): My head must have been squeezed by a door. Where did someone sell their equipment before going out to level? Are they trying to kill themselves? Hahaha ~ ~

… ….

The post reached all the way up to the top ten rankings of the forum. It was still floating in red and had over ten thousand replies. It was pretty fiery and he seemed to see a familiar figure.

At this moment, Lin Che's face turned a little pale. He should have also seen this post and asked, "Brother Chen, have you read the forums?"

"I've seen it. My condolences …."

I consoled, "This time, we'll be returning to the village after levelling up to lvl 10. We'll need a new set of equipment and we'll have to blind their dog eyes. Let's not listen to any rumors or gossip from these people … …"

Lin Che looked at his lower body and felt like crying but had no tears. "What kind of f * cking explosive rate is this? His clothes, wrist guards, and hat were all exposed. Only his pants weren't exposed, was the system doing this on purpose?"

Hai Yang rubbed her butt and said, "No wonder I always feel cold …"

Zywane grinned and said, "Who cares about the other party? It's not like we're going to have a blind date!"

After returning to full HP, I stood up and said, "Who cares about what others say. Let's continue killing monsters and level up to LV10 as soon as possible. We're still First Blood men!"

"Right, we're the men who want to get the First Blood. Continue!"

… ….

At our current speed, we can only get 30% of our EXP in an hour at most, so to get to LV10, we'll need at least three hours. Looking at the time, it's almost four in the morning, the online quests are very high, and at the interface, the number of people online in this Beginner Village has always been above 8000.

At the same time, the system interface started to update the rankings. The Power Rankings and Level Rankings for Beginner Village 1244 have already appeared, giving people a fresh look. When I clicked on the Power Rankings for War, I was surprised that I wasn't in first place.

Power Ranking –

1. For You To Be Good: 201 Knights

2. War Power: 178 Knights

3. Tiramisu Combat Power: 172 Spirit Masters

Fighting power of the Blazing Flame Mouse: 166

5. The battle force of the naughty pudding: 149 Archers

… ….

Basically, among the top 10 in the Power Rankings, there are six of them who are spirit masters. It's easier for mages to equip their equipment, and having a staff to rub fireballs is pretty strong, but the strongest one is a Knight called "Obedient for You". This is really unimaginable, I'm already dressed all in white, and most of my equipment is at a high level, but this person's fighting strength is actually above mine?

"Who's behaving well for you?"

Lin Che also saw the battle ranking and frowned. "What a strong fighting strength, over 200 points, but he's not on the level ranking. He's not even level 8 yet, is he relying on his brother's pooled equipment?"

"Or maybe it was." Hai Yang said, "It has already been four hours since the server opened, the Beginner Village's auction house will definitely be open for sale. Many equipment can be purchased directly using Alipay and WeChat. Boss' equipment may be strong, but the sword and shield are both Level 1 equipment, so surpassing them won't be difficult."

I nodded my head. "That makes sense. Who are these Flame Rats? They have high combat power as well."

"I don't know..."

Lin Che squinted his eyes and laughed, "I only know that the four of us are in the top four of this novice area's rankings, hahahaha ~ ~ ~"

There were a total of five level 9 players in the newbie area, including the four of us, plus a skill named Tillamisu. However, our experience was higher than hers, so we were ranked first. This was enough to prove that my tactic was correct.

Zywane squinted his eyes and said happily, "I never expected to be able to be on the leaderboard one day. Amazing, I feel like I've already reached the pinnacle of my life …"

"Continue, level!"

Time slowly passed. At five in the morning, his experience reached Level 9 with 55% experience. At six in the morning, his experience reached Level 9 with 85% experience. He would be able to reach Level 10 before seven.

He buried his head in his hands and beat one hyena after another to death.

I don't know how many were killed, but with a sudden "hualala" sound, a heavy piece of equipment fell onto the grass along with the death of a hyena. It rolled for a full circle before falling, a round steel shield.

[Shrubbery Battle Shield] (White Equipment)

Defense: 25

Required level: 8

… ….

After directly switching out the Forest Steel Shield, my Defense immediately increased by 17 points, reaching a total of 60 points of Defense. It can be said that at this stage of the game, ordinary Physical Profession players are unable to hit me.

Before anyone knew it, a group of people had charged into the depths of the shrubbery. There was no one on the road, only our figures and fallen hyenas. As we continued forward, we suddenly felt a bloody aura rush towards us.

"Stop."

I immediately raised my hand to stop Lin Che. Pointing at the shrubbery in front of us, I said, "There's something there."

Everyone took a closer look, and their hearts began to pound. Amongst the shrubs, there was an extremely large hyena that was covered in gold lying lazily on the ground, level 12, Bronze-rank Boss, Golden Hyena Lord. The legendary target had appeared, but its attributes were so strong that it made people's hair stand on end.

[Golden Hyena Lord] (Bronze-rank Boss)

Level: 12

Attack: 72-105

Defense: 58

Qi and blood: 2800

Skills: [Tearing Bite], [Claw Strike], [Burning Steps]

Description: A lord in the wilderness of a village. The Golden Hyena has been hunted down many times, but it has escaped the bounty hunters of the empire. It has escaped from the prison time and time again.

… ….

"Fight?"

Hai Yang's entire body trembled as she excitedly asked.

"Hit your head."

Lin Che said, "For an attack of 105, we're looking to die if we go up there."

I nodded my head: "Little Che is right, before we learn skills, we aren't our opponent at all. Watch carefully, its third ability is area-of-effect attack, it's useless even if you have more people, it'll kill a large number of people. We'll head east, avoid it, and don't kill the hyenas around the Boss.

"Alright!"

Everyone was so excited that they were about to spasm and froth.
