Newbie Village, Misty Forest.

This was an exceedingly dangerous place for players from Newbie Village.

The reason was simple: the wild monsters here—the Sari Wolves—were all level ten!

It could be said that, during the novice stage, anyone who dared come here to hunt monsters was either traveling in a party or a highly skilled player with excellent equipment.

Otherwise, coming here recklessly was no different from courting death.

Yet this perilous place, so fraught with danger for newcomers, now held two young figures.

One of them darted back and forth among a pack of Sari Wolves like a butterfly flitting through a field of flowers.

With every swing of his sword, a string of damage numbers floated above the wolves’ heads.

“-623!”

“-618!”

…

Yet when the Sari Wolves attacked, every result that appeared above the man’s head was “MISS.”

In other words, the attacks of these level-ten monsters could not even break through his defenses!

These two were none other than Lin Yu and Xiao Xiao, who had come here to hunt monsters and level up.

“Monster!”

Beneath a towering tree, Xiao Xiao once again confirmed that the Sari Wolves possessed attack power exceeding one hundred and fifty. Looking at Lin Yu weaving through the pack, she could not help cursing under her breath.

One had to understand that when faced with Sari Wolves possessing more than one hundred and fifty attack power, even a level-ten knight who had assigned every free attribute point to defense—or one wearing equipment similar to the Ghost Scorpion Battle Armor—could not possibly remain completely unharmed.

Yet Lin Yu had done exactly that. She could not help feeling terrified by the magnitude of his defense.

It was simply absurd!

Lin Yu had no idea what Xiao Xiao was thinking. After the Sword of Light in his hand cut down the last Sari Wolf, he strolled over and said, “Let’s go. We’ll head to the next spawn point.”

The higher a wild monster’s level, the longer it took to respawn.

Now that all the Sari Wolves here had been dealt with, there was naturally no reason for them to remain and waste time.

“Oh!”

Xiao Xiao clearly had not yet recovered from her astonishment and hurriedly nodded.

She was supposed to be the employer, yet under Lin Yu’s imposing presence, she had somehow become the weaker party.

“Lin Yu, may I ask you something?”

As they walked, Xiao Xiao suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Yu with curiosity.

“What is it?” Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.

“I’m curious. How high is your defense right now?” Xiao Xiao asked bluntly, without making any attempt to conceal her curiosity.

“My defense?”

Lin Yu had not expected her to ask such a question. He was momentarily stunned before answering, “A little over six hundred, I suppose.”

“More than six hundred?”

Xiao Xiao nearly stumbled from shock.

What did more than six hundred mean? Even a level-twenty knight who had assigned every attribute point to defense could barely reach that figure.

Yet Lin Yu, a level-six warrior, possessed such a defense value. It was truly horrifying.

“No wonder you’re such an overpowered freak with a divine-tier talent!” Xiao Xiao could not help cursing under her breath.

Lin Yu, however, did not take it to heart. If anyone else had been in his position, it would have been difficult for them to keep their composure as well.

…

After a short journey, Lin Yu and Xiao Xiao soon arrived at another spawn point for level-ten monsters.

A dozen or so treants stood before them, each nearly three meters tall, their entire bodies covered in vines. Their faces were twisted and savage as they roared ferociously.

【Frenzied Treant (Common): Level 10.
Health: 6,600/6,600.
Energy: 250/250.
Attack: 134.
Defense: 65.
Skill: Vine Whip.
Description: Treants corrupted by demonic energy in the Twisted Jungle. Their tempers are extremely violent. If you encounter one, keeping your distance is the wisest choice.】

Lin Yu had specifically sought out level-ten monsters. If he wanted to level up quickly, he had to hunt high-level monsters.

After all, the greater the level difference when killing a monster above one’s own level, the more experience one received.

Take the Sari Wolves from earlier, for example. When Lin Yu, then level five, killed them, the level-difference bonus granted him 3.5 experience points.

Even after splitting the experience evenly in party mode, he still received nearly two points per kill—twice as fast as hunting monsters of the same level.

Thanks to the thirteen Sari Wolves he had killed earlier, his experience had risen from eighty percent of level five to level six.

“This treant has very high attack power. You should just watch from the side,” Lin Yu reminded Xiao Xiao after surveying the Frenzied Treants ahead.

With her fragile assassin build, she probably could not withstand even five attacks from one of these treants.

More importantly, her participation would only slow down the speed at which he could draw his sword.

Xiao Xiao, quite sensibly, stepped aside.

Once he saw that she was in a safe position, Lin Yu did not hesitate. He charged straight into the pack of treants and began hacking them apart, one strike after another.

“-666!”

“-671!”

…

With the enhancement from the Sword of Light, Lin Yu’s attack power was remarkably impressive.

Monsters that would normally require several players working together to defeat could be killed by him with merely ten slashes each.

Most astonishing of all was that he was farming them without taking any damage.

If anyone had witnessed this scene, they would have been just as dumbfounded as Xiao Xiao had been earlier. It was simply too frightening.

【Ding! You have slain a Frenzied Treant and obtained 10 copper coins. Since you are in party mode, experience is divided evenly. Experience +1.5.】

Only after Lin Yu killed the final Frenzied Treant did his level-six experience rise from three percent to thirty percent. Xiao Xiao, meanwhile, successfully reached level nine.

“The drop rate from these common monsters is truly terrible. Or is my luck just awful? Eighteen monsters, and not a single piece of equipment dropped?”

Lin Yu put away the Sword of Light. Seeing that the clearing contained nothing but the copper coins and experience they had obtained, he could not help grimacing.

Since forming a party with Xiao Xiao, he had killed a total of thirty-one level-ten monsters, yet not a single piece of equipment had dropped.

The drop rate was so abysmal that he nearly wanted to cry.

Xiao Xiao could only give him a look that seemed to say, “If your luck is bad, whom can you blame?” This left Lin Yu even more speechless.

“Let’s go. We’ll continue to the next point.”

Lin Yu did not want to dwell on the matter and prepared to leave.

However, just as the two of them were about to turn around, the ground began to tremble.

At the same time, a system notification rang in Lin Yu’s ears.

【Ding! Danger warning. Because you have slain a large number of Frenzied Treants, you have incurred the displeasure of the Frenzied Treant King. Leave the area immediately.】

…

As the warning faded, a treant several times larger than the Frenzied Treants they had just fought suddenly appeared before them.

【Frenzied Treant King (Iron Boss): Level 15.
Health: 120,000/120,000.
Energy: 500/500.
Attack: 254.
Defense: 138.
Skills: Vine Attack, Sunlight Shield, Frenzy, Regeneration.
Description: The ruler of the Twisted Forest and king of the Frenzied Treants. If a newcomer encounters him, running is the only thing to do.】
