As night fell, rain began to fall within the forest. As they stepped on each other's feet, an alluring 'baji baji' could be heard.
I've been running at a fast pace for almost ten minutes and I haven't seen anything else besides people and goblins in the woods, but when I'm over a small hill, I finally find a new monster!
"Screech ~ ~"
The large bat shrouded in flames let out an unpleasant cry. Its entire body was blood-red, and only its eyes were green!
[Flame Bat] (Ordinary Monster)
Level: 5
Attack: 4-10
Defense: 4
Qi and blood: 500
Attack type: Toxic attack
"..."
I was slightly surprised. It was actually a level 5 monster. Its attack was countless times stronger than the Goblin's. Furthermore, its blood and Qi had 500 points. It also had a poison attack that no one could imagine!
I looked at my stats and began to calculate …
frivolous scholar (Travellers)
Level: 3
Life: 210
Attack: 11-17
Defense: 4
Prestige: 1
Luck: 0
"..."
My attack is still not bad, it's just that my defense is a lot weaker. The Flame Bat are definitely able to break through a large part of the defense, moreover there is also that poison attack, it's really not easy to deal with!
However, wealth comes from danger. I have to go up, and I have to be ahead of the other players!
Thus, I immediately brandished my steel sword and rushed forward, slashing towards the Flame Bat!
"Pacha!"
A dazzling number "85" flew high!
I was ecstatic. The attack that I used all my strength to attack was intrepid, I had almost killed a large portion of the Flame Bat's vital energy and blood with a single slash!
At this time, the Flame Bat also seemed to be burning with rage, and it immediately attacked me, but before it could do anything, I quickly swung out my second sword, knocking out nearly a hundred more vital energy and blood!
Finally, the Flame Bat flapped its fiery red wings against my arm. Suddenly, I felt a wave of pain — —
Battle Hint: You have been attacked by Flame Bat, HP lost to 51 points!
"Damn!" You lost a quarter of my health in an instant? "
I turned pale with fright, the attacks of the Flame Bat were indeed ferocious!
I didn't dare hesitate. Before the next attack of the Flame Bat arrives, I have to kill it as fast as I can. After all, I jumped two levels to kill the monster, and without any NB defensive equipment, I can only level up like this!
After two consecutive slashes, two numbers "91" and "87" appeared on top of the Flame Bat's head!
Although the Flame Bat's attack speed was slow, the second bite was still coming!
With a flash of green light, a poison spurt out from the Flame Bat's mouth. In an instant, I felt my body go numb, and my vital energy and blood dropped down as much as 70 points!
Battle Announcement: You have received the Flame Bat's poison attack. Your qi and blood will decrease by 2 points every 3 seconds. Duration of 60 seconds!
I was slightly surprised. As expected, I was poisoned. Fortunately, this poison wasn't as scary as I had imagined. 3 seconds for 2 points, 60 seconds for only 40 points!
In truth, I never thought that normal players would be unable to buy potions, even the cheapest Red Potion costs 20 copper each, and a Goblin dropped 2 to 3 copper coins. Normal players would never be able to level up so extravagantly, and I am the only lucky one!
Cha cha-cha, the iron sword quickly slashed onto the back of the Flame Bat and instantly, all of the Flame Bat's remaining vital energy and blood were taken away by me. After letting out a wail, it fell to the ground and exploded out a few copper coins!
"Ding!"
Battle Announcement: You have killed the Flame Bat and received 120 EXP!
"..."
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Indeed, there were high rewards for high risk. A Goblin's EXP was only 10, but I didn't expect that killing a Flame Bat above my level would give me 120 EXP!
He took out the copper coins from the mud. Counting them, he found that there were 14 of them. This was much more generous than Goblin!
However, my Qi and blood also fell below half of the price. This is indeed a bit expensive, but it's still worth it!
Therefore, he ate a blood bottle and continued to kill the second Flame Bat!
In less than a minute, he had killed off the Flame Bat with a desperate move. Aside from obtaining 120 EXP, he had also obtained 19 more copper coins. However, he still did not see the bat blood that was said to be needed for the quest!
When I finished off the fifth Flame Bat, I finally heard a "pa da" sound. A bat's blood that had solidified into drops of water dropped to the ground.
[Bat Blood] (Item of the Mission)
He didn't have anything to look at, so he just threw it into his bag.
When I killed the five Flame Bat and earned 600 experience points, I had already spent two small potions, which was already equivalent to 40 copper coins.
The forest was completely silent, with only the "Hu hu" sound of Flame Bat flapping her wings. Right at this moment, I heard the sound of people behind me. "This kid can actually kill a level 5 monster by himself!"
I looked back and found that three level 2 players were looking at us. Not long after, one of them went up to lure a Flame Bat, but who knew that the Flame Bat was so valiant that it directly bit off half of the player's vital energy and blood.
The other two players immediately went up, brandished their short sticks, and knocked twice on the Flame Bat's head. Immediately, two numbers jumped out — —
"Twelve!"
"Eight!"
I watched from afar and almost laughed out loud. They didn't have any decent weapons, yet they dared to fight a terrifying level 5 monster above their level. This was equivalent to courting death!
As expected, in less than two minutes, these three people could not take the attacks of the Flame Bat, and turned into white lights to go back to the city to revive, leaving behind the residual blood s!
How could he not take advantage of the opportunity that was delivered to him?
I immediately stepped forward and the iron sword suddenly swept down!
"Crack!"
Amidst the crisp sound, the Flame Bat let out a wail and fell to the ground. At the same time, it let out two consecutive "ding dong" sounds, as if something had landed on the ground!
I didn't care that much, and immediately rummaged through the soil. Aside from the 17 copper coins, I found another bat blood, and a dark leather armour!
I was slightly shocked and quickly picked up the leather armour and looked at its stats.
[Bat leather armour] (White Equipment)
Defense: 8
Required level: 4
"..."
I couldn't help but laugh. The heavens are on my side, and I was just worrying about not having the armor to protect me. Now, this is simply a good gift that I sent to my doorstep.
He looked at the EXP bar. He was still a bit away from leveling up to level 4!
Thus, I drank a Red Potion and slashed down another Flame Bat that was not far away. In the midst of a burst of golden light, I officially levelled up!
"Ding!"
System Notification: Congratulations, you have leveled up, increased stamina by 20 points, and obtained 5 attribute points!
"..."
Haha! It was finally starting!
I immediately equipped the Bat leather armour, and its defense immediately rose from 4 points to 12 points. I then added 5 points of Strength to it, making its attack 16-21!
Even though that bat leather armour isn't very good-looking, it's still the first shirt I got, and it's even possible that it's the first shirt this Novice Village gave me. Therefore, I'm still extremely happy when I put it on!
After obtaining the 12 points of attack, I angrily looked for trouble with the Flame Bat once again. With a loud bang, I swung my sword over, and a number suddenly appeared on top of the Flame Bat's head — — "248"!
"What?!"
I can't believe my eyes. He actually killed half of a level 5 monster's Qi and blood with a single slash?
After flipping through the record, he discovered that there was an explosive attack!
Even so, I can still use my sword to kill 124 Flame Bat's Qi and blood. This is already considered not bad!
At this time, the Flame Bat had also fiercely attacked me. For a moment, I only felt a slight pain on my body, and looking at my vital energy and blood, I didn't expect that the Flame Bat's poison attack would only cause me 24 points of damage!
I was overjoyed. It seemed that after wearing the Bat leather armour, my defense had increased by a large amount, allowing me to continue fighting!
Thus, he immediately grabbed onto his iron sword and continued to find trouble with the other Flame Bat!
Time ticked by second by second, and in the half an hour after spiritual grief was released, I had already collected 19 bat blood, and at the same time, smoothly rose to level 5. Facing monsters of the same level, my attributes were no longer restricted by my level, and I killed even more quickly.
After knocking over another Flame Bat with a few consecutive blows, he picked up his spoils of war — Bat's Blood!
I counted and found that there were 20 bat blood in the bag. It was full! You can go back and report now!
Thus, I immediately turned around and prepared to return to the village. But at this moment, I felt a gust of cold wind coming from the right. I couldn't help but shiver.
Not far away, a giant bat appeared. It was completely bathed in fire, at least ten times bigger than a Flame Bat. It looked like a small airplane floating in the air!
[Mutated Flame Bat] (Mutant)
Level: 8
Attack: 20-28
Defense: 18
Qi and blood: 2000
Attack Type: Mutated toxin attack
"..."
I couldn't help but be surprised, this was actually a quasi-BOSS level creature! The attack power is so high that it actually has a maximum of 28 points and its defense has reached 18 points. With my current level 5 and 26 points of attack, I can barely break through the defense!
The mutated bat didn't want me to think about it too much, so it pounced towards me. Its sharp claws left a mark on my leather armour!
A sharp pain came from the top of my head. "88" damage figure popped out!
Although the numbers were lucky, I wasn't happy at all. I immediately waved my sword to counter, and with a "bang", I hacked the Flame Bat on the head, causing 110 damage!
The numbers weren't bad, but it would take at least 20 moves to finish off the mutated bat. Looking at the potions in his bag, there were still 5 small potions left, would he be able to last this long enough to kill the Flame Bat?
