"Chop, chop, chop..."
The Fury of the Wilderness struck against the heavy armor, sending sparks flying. After several attacks, Yi Tianchen managed to suppress the Forest Wanderer's offense well, but the armor was simply too tough. After a round of strikes, his hands felt numb from the impact.
At that moment, a sudden notification brought great surprise to Yi Tianchen—
System Notification: Your skill [Blade Break Slash] has reached maximum proficiency and has automatically upgraded to Level 2, dealing 120% physical damage to a single target!
"Hey! Finally leveled up!"
Hearing this, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but laugh heartily. He then swung his sword to push back the Forest Wanderer and quickly followed up with a rapid assault, delivering several fierce slashes. After dispatching the foe, he glanced at his skill bar and skimmed through the skill description. Besides the increase in attack power, the Magic Points consumption had also risen to 40 points.
"Chop, chop..."
Suddenly, Yi Tianchen felt a sharp pain in his back as he was struck by two consecutive blows. Damage numbers popped up instantly, and he lost over 1600 Vitality.
Battle Notification: [Savage Wanderer] used skill [Rift Slash Lv-3], dealing two consecutive damages of 60% and 80%, resulting in a loss of 1629 Vitality!
"Damn it..."
Caught off guard by the ambush, Yi Tianchen decisively rolled forward to create some distance. Turning back quickly, he fixed his fierce gaze on the Forest Wanderer that had suddenly emerged before him. With determination in his eyes, he sprang into action and unleashed his skill—
Blade Break Slash Lv-2! -973! Knockback!
Seizing the opportunity, Savage Charge activated as Yi Tianchen pursued relentlessly, launching into a series of three strikes. One hit the throat but only met bone; critical hit ineffective. Another struck the forehead, revealing a gleaming skull; fatal blow ineffective. The last one aimed below the belt—cough cough... that part was already gone, still ineffective!
In an instant, Yi Tianchen was filled with rage, gritting his teeth as he couldn't help but roar, "Damn it! If it weren't for the fact that I'm left with nothing but bones, you'd be finished!"
Of course, the Forest Wanderer paid no heed to Yi Tianchen's protests. All it knew was that this person before it was its greatest enemy. With a chilling howl, it charged forward again, swinging its heavy sword and unleashing a Cleave without any mercy—
"Bang..."
Yi Tianchen's gaze darkened as he slightly shifted his stance, resulting in a MISS notification. He heard a sound akin to an explosion as a large patch of grass was completely blown away. Immediately after, a dark circle descended, and the Fury of the Wilderness once again shimmered with golden patterns. The Level 2 Blade Break Slash erupted with overwhelming power—
Death Entanglement Lv-1! Blade Break Slash Lv-2! -1015!
"Roar..."
With a fierce roar, the Forest Wanderer finally collapsed at Yi Tianchen's feet. In addition to the substantial experience gained, it dropped a round head—
[Wanderer's Head]: This is the essence of the Forest Wanderer after its death. If you collect 100 Wanderer's Heads, you can exchange them for a generous reward from Evil Alchemist Zazali; it's a quest item that cannot be sold or used but can be stacked!
"Heh heh... I didn't expect such good fortune!"
After checking its attributes, Yi Tianchen immediately felt exhilarated and quickly picked up the gleaming head. Upon closer inspection, it was just an ordinary skull, identical to the one Mei Chaofeng used while practicing the Nine Yin White Bone Claw; there was nothing particularly special about it.
However, since the System had set up this quest reward, why bother worrying about whether it had any special features?
He tossed the skull into his bag and dragged the Fury of the Wilderness along, stepping on the soft layer of decaying leaves as he continued to wander through the Misty Forest in search of his next target!
The evening in the Misty Forest arrived with astonishing speed. Just past five o'clock, darkness had already enveloped the surroundings, reducing visibility to about ten meters. From the depths of the unknown forest, eerie sounds occasionally echoed.
"Smack... Smack..."
Soon, another Forest Wanderer came into view. However, almost as soon as Yi Tianchen spotted it, the Forest Wanderer raised its heavy sword and launched an attack first—
"Clang..."
Quickly assessing the trajectory and force of the descending sword, Yi Tianchen leaped swiftly, perfectly dodging the Forest Wanderer's strike. As his toes touched the ground, he leaned forward and unleashed a Wild Fury strike, slicing across the Forest Wanderer's chest and sending sparks flying!
Undeniably, these heavily armored monsters were best suited for magic-class players to deal with. For melee physical classes like Yi Tianchen, without an exceptionally high attack power, things could get quite challenging.
"Slash, slash, slash..."
Despite this, with his precise timing and speed, once Yi Tianchen grasped the rhythm of the attack, the Forest Wanderer could only retreat continuously. Moreover, the experience gained was quite good; since it wasn't a group encounter, it was perfect for solo players like Yi Tianchen.
Half a minute later, the Forest Wanderer roared and fell to the ground, dropping a shiny skull!
Bending down to pick it up, Yi Tianchen searched around for a bit. Although no equipment dropped, the drop rate for quest items was decent. He collected three Silver Coins and looked up to find another Forest Wanderer wandering on a small hill ahead.
Yi Tianchen's eyes lit up as he smirked and muttered to himself, "Hey, not bad luck at all!"
"Whoosh..."
With a sharp gaze, Yi Tianchen soared through the air, dragging the Wild Fury behind him. As the distance closed, he activated Savage Charge, his figure feinting past while perfectly stunning the Forest Wanderer.
Then, with a swift pivot, he unleashed Death Entanglement, followed by the fierce descent of Blade Break Slash—
-1081!
The damage number soared past a thousand as Yi Tianchen showed no mercy, launching into a flurry of strikes. The Forest Wanderer roared in frustration, breaking free from its stupor and swinging its heavy sword in a sweeping cleave. The blade sliced through the air with a piercing whoosh—
Block! 75%! -453!
Yi Tianchen gritted his teeth; after blocking, he darted forward again. The wide blade of Wild Fury descended with a flurry of dazzling sword flowers, exploding into a brilliant display of light.
The Forest Wanderer howled in distress before finally collapsing to the ground, dropping a round, shiny helmet to the side. In addition, it released a dark battle garment.
"An equipment drop!"
Yi Tianchen exclaimed in delight. After this intense battle, he finally received some tangible rewards. He quickly picked it up and was surprised to find several rust holes on the armor. If exposed to sunlight, it might just sparkle like stars.
However, even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat. Regardless of whether he could use it himself or not, selling it for some pocket money was still an option. He cast Identification Technique on it—
Ranger Armor: Bronze Equipment
Defense: 102
Strength: +6
Type: Heavy Armor - Clothing
Required Level: 30
...
"Uh..."
Glancing at the specific attributes of the armor, Yi Tianchen felt utterly defeated by the Forest Wanderer. He even doubted whether such trash equipment should even drop; it seemed more like something that was voluntarily discarded, completely unworthy.
He gave the Savage Wanderer a middle finger, took a deep breath, and ultimately tossed the armor directly into his inventory. At the same time, he reassured himself that it was at least a Bronze item that had dropped. Even if he couldn't use it, he could always sell it in a shop, right?
Truly, one can be dissatisfied even with a good catch!
