Chapter 12 The Wolf is Coming? No, Experience is Coming!
Chapter 12 The Wolf is Coming? No, Experience is Coming!
The wolf's howl was sharp and mournful, piercing through the void and viciously stabbing into the depths of Chen You's consciousness.
The sense of security that had just arisen due to the surge in attributes was instantly torn open, and a chilling fear poured in through the crack.
He suddenly jolted awake, his gaze snapping towards the direction from which the howling was coming.
On the distant horizon, the outline of a majestic city can be faintly seen.
The ancient city wall stretches out in the haze, exuding a sense of vicissitudes that have been weathered by time.
Between him and the city, a dense, blood-red aura surged into the sky, mixed with a deathly gray, lingering there.
Amidst the malevolent aura, several energy bodies emitting a faint green light were moving at high speed, closing the distance considerably with each flash.
They came for me!
Chen You's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately brought up the map interface.
A simple parchment map unfolds, with several locations marked on it in an archaic script.
His current location is a point of light, while the city in the distance is marked with the words "Zhaocheng".
From the light spot to Zhaocheng, along a dotted path, the monster information is clearly marked in blood-red font: [Ghost Wolf (Level 3~5)].
Chen You felt a chill run down his spine.
After changing jobs, his level dropped to 1, and he had nothing.
The beginner outfit given as a first-time purchase bonus has been automatically removed and is lying quietly in my backpack.
He quickly opened his backpack, and with a thought, he put on his beginner's clothes, beginner's leg guards, beginner's straw sandals, and other equipment.
Finally, the beginner's iron sword appeared in his hand.
The attributes were improved again, and the cold hilt brought a false sense of security.
But Chen You's heart remained suspended in mid-air.
This isn't your average online game where you can resurrect infinitely; here, death could very well be the real end.
He's currently level 1, while his opponent is at most level 5. Level advantage is a huge advantage in any game.
"Awoo~"
Another wolf howl rang out, this time from a much closer distance, the cruelty and hunger in the sound almost tangible.
That's too late!
Alarm bells rang in Chen You's mind, and his eyes frantically scanned the interface.
Got it!
In one corner, an ancient-style "商" (business) character icon sits quietly.
Without hesitation, he opened it with his mind.
A dazzling array of shelves popped up, displaying various glittering items categorized by type.
Elixirs, talismans, magical artifacts, secret manuals...
Chen You's gaze immediately locked onto the [Pills] section.
[Nourishing Essence Pill]: Instantly restores 500 health points. Cooldown: 30 seconds. Price: 1 gold coin/10 pills.
One gold coin, worth one million Chinese Yuan! Ten healing potions!
In the past, Chen You could have cursed the designers of this thing so badly that their ancestors' graves would smoke.
But now, he feels that the price is incredibly reasonable!
If you're about to lose your life, a million is nothing!
Buy it! You absolutely must buy it!
He continued his search, and then his gaze became fixed on a talisman that emitted a soft golden light.
[Substitute Talisman]: A one-time consumable item that can block one fatal attack. Price: 10 gold coins/talent.
Ten gold coins.
Ten million Chinese Yuan.
A paper.
Chen You's breath caught in his throat for a moment.
He remembered Li Guoan's serious, square face, and those powerful words.
"Money is the least important thing for our project."
Yes, that's it! We need to broaden our horizons!
Behind me stands the entire nation!
I'm not afraid of it being expensive!
This is my trump card for survival!
At this moment, Chen You's thoughts became clearer than ever before, and there was no longer any hesitation or heartache.
However, just as he was about to place the order, a foul stench wafted towards him.
He suddenly raised his head, his pupils contracting sharply.
Six!
Six giant wolves, each the size of an adult black bear, had surrounded him without him even realizing it.
Their bodies are covered in jet-black fur, yet they possess an ethereal transparency, as if they might vanish into thin air at any moment.
In their blood-red eyes burned undisguised greed and savagery, and between their gleaming white fangs hung nauseating saliva.
Is this the Ghost Wolf?
This is called a wolf?
The intense visual impact and the imminent threat of death made Chen You's blood almost freeze.
He didn't even have time to buy the [Nourishment Pill]. Driven by his survival instinct, he frantically focused his mind on the talisman worth ten million.
[Purchase "Substitute Talisman" x1, costing 10 gold coins. Confirm?]
"Confirm! Confirm! Confirm it for me now!" Chen You roared in his mind.
Payment successful!
The "Substitute Talisman" has been added to your inventory. Do you wish to use it immediately?
"use!"
A golden light flew out of the backpack, instantly sticking to his chest, and then transformed into countless mysterious golden runes, merging into his body.
A faint halo, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, enveloped his entire body.
At the same time, a new BUFF icon appears in the upper right corner.
Countdown: 09:59.
After doing all this, Chen You finally felt his heart, which was about to leap out of his chest, calm down a little.
He gripped the beginner's iron sword tightly, his palms sweating profusely, staring intently at the ghost wolf closest to him.
Although he was in a completely new profession and his cultivation technique was at the Heavenly Rank, he had no idea what the so-called "Level 1 Qi Refining" was when faced with such an oppressive monster.
The numerical design of this game cannot be judged by common sense!
"Aww!"
Losing patience, the ghost wolf let out a low growl, its hind legs slamming into the ground, its massive body transforming into a black lightning bolt, its gaping maw lunging straight at Chen You's neck!
too fast!
Chen You had no time to react and could only instinctively raise his iron sword to block.
However, the ghost wolf was much faster than he had imagined, and the moment he raised his sword, it slammed into his chest!
A tremendous force came!
The excruciating pain that Chen You had anticipated, the feeling of being torn apart, did not occur.
A bright red damage number floated up above his head.
【-twenty four】
At the same time, a damage reflection number appeared above the Ghost Wolf's head.
【-twenty four】
Chen You: "?"
Ghost Wolf: "???"
The ghost wolf was also stunned. It felt as if it had not bumped into a human, but into a red-hot iron plate.
The immense recoil and burning sensation caused it to howl in pain and fly backward.
An eerie silence fell over the entire battlefield for a second.
The remaining five ghost wolves, along with Chen You himself, stared blankly at this surreal scene.
I rely on?
After a one-second pause, Chen You's brain was instantly overwhelmed with ecstasy!
Defense 72!
His current defense is 72 points!
The ghost wolf's attack power was so great that it couldn't even break through his defense!
Is this the power of spending money?
Is this the true value of a cultivator?
I'm in love! Absolutely in love!
"Awoo!"
The other ghost wolf reacted and pounced again.
This time, Chen You felt no fear.
He looked at the approaching black figure, a smile of a strong man appearing on his lips.
Fuck your fear!
I spent 100 million yuan of the country's money to scare you?
"Die!"
With a roar, Chen You abandoned his passive defense and took the initiative to meet the attack.
The Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique is not only a cultivation method, but also a method for circulating spiritual energy.
hum~
The iron sword emitted a soft hum, and its blade was covered with a faint white light.
He used all his strength to slash out with his sword!
puff!
The moment the sword touched the wolf's head, there was no resistance whatsoever.
It's like a red-hot knife cutting into butter.
That huge, ferocious wolf head was cleanly and decisively split in two!
A critical hit that even Chen You himself found absurd rose slowly from above the Ghost Wolf's corpse.
[-687]!
Sold out instantly!
Hot wolf blood splattered all over Chen You, but he didn't care.
An unprecedented, exhilarating pleasure surged from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head!
So... I'm this strong?
So this is what crushing is!
"Awooo!" "Awooo!"
The tragic death of their companion completely ignited the ferocity of the remaining four ghost wolves.
They roared and pounced from four directions simultaneously, trying to tear this tiny human to pieces.
"Well done!"
Chen You was full of heroic spirit and instead of retreating, he advanced.
He pushed off with his feet, his body swayed, and he charged towards the ghost wolf on his left, his longsword drawing a graceful arc.
【-twenty four】
Another instant kill with a single sword strike!
He had already killed the other three wolves before their claws could strike him.
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
【-twenty four】
Three numbers, symbolizing gua sha, floated up from above his head.
Chen You didn't even bother to look at them.
With a backhand slash, he pierced the heart of the ghost wolf behind him.
【-twenty four】
Turning around again, he swept his sword across the ground, cleaving the last two terrified ghost wolves, which were trying to escape, in half at the waist!
-948 (Critical Hit)
【-twenty four】
The battle is over.
It only took a dozen seconds.
On the wasteland, Chen You stood with his sword in hand, surrounded by the mutilated corpses of six giant wolves.
A gentle breeze blew by, carrying with it a strong, pungent smell of blood.
He was breathing heavily, not because he was tired, but because of the physiological reaction to excessive excitement and tension.
He looked down at himself, then at the corpses scattered on the ground, and a feeling of unreality washed over him.
Just minutes before, he was so frightened by these monsters that his hands and feet turned ice-cold, and he almost thought he was going to die here.
A few minutes later, he slaughtered them all in a manner as swift as chopping melons and vegetables.
Is this... the world of the strong?
Less than one-tenth of the spiritual energy was consumed.
Is this the endurance of a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique?
Invincible!
Chen You was immersed in the immense joy of his soaring power when several system notifications popped up.
You have killed a Ghost Wolf (LV3) and gained 30 experience points.
You have killed a Ghost Wolf (LV4) and gained 40 experience points.
……
[Congratulations on leveling up! Current level: 2 (Qi Refining Level 1)]
[Attribute Points +5]
The experience bar has increased significantly, but breaking through to the second level of Qi Refining is still a long way off.
He casually added all 5 attribute points to attack.
Just then, a strange fluctuation came from the wolf's corpse.
[A pick-upable item detected. Pick it up?]
