Chapter 5:
Su Ming had killed 28 wild wolves in just 5 minutes. He had gained enough EXP to meet the level-up requirements. Soon, a golden light emanated from him, accompanied by the system's message.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations on reaching Level 2. Bonus: Strength +2, Physique +2, Agility +2, Wisdom +3."
His new EXP bar became 0/350.
All the nearby wolves had already been killed by Su Ming.
Lv1 wild wolves couldn't fight back at all, and even though his two punches could hammer one to death, it wasn't satisfying that way...
"It would be nice if there were elite monsters, or even a boss..."
Su Ming lamented.
If the players were to know of his monster grinding speed, they would probably be jealous to death.
A player at the same level would have to strike at least 18 times to kill a Lv1 wolf, and would have to worry about being surrounded by other wolves since, at present, ordinary players couldn't afford to have that many Health potions.
Su Ming looked at the corpses on the ground and the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of smile.
Time to harvest!
He collected the loots of the wild wolves.
"Ding!"
"You've gained 1 silver,『Rough Leather Armor』."
"You've gained..."
"..."
Looking at the way the panel flickered with rows of alerts, he was in a pleasant mood.
The collection of the fallen loots was quickly completed.
28 silver, 2 bottles of Small Health potion, 1 bottle of Small Mana potion, 2 pieces of white-grade equipment, 2 books of ordinary warrior skill books, and 28 wolf carcasses needed for the quest.
All of these rewards were common.
The item drop rate of
"There are still 22 wild wolves left to complete the novice quest. I should continue looking for more monsters to kill."
Su Ming looked around and walked in a particular direction.
After he was gone for less than two minutes, three players passed by the area, and the mage leading them cursed, "Heck, why isn't there a single monster in this area?"
Their faces turned a bit ugly, and then they walked towards the direction Su Ming had walked to.
...
Deep inside the Black Crow Forest...
After walking for a few minutes, Su Ming halted and looked at the scenery in front of him, joy slowly filled his eyes.
There was a bronze treasure chest lying in the bushes.
"There's even a treasure chest here."
He was short of money right now, and the bronze treasure chest was bound to contain a large amount of gold, in addition to the rare items and equipment.
While he was pleasantly surprised, Su Ming's attention shifted towards his surroundings.
There were always guardian monsters around every treasure chest and this one was not an exception!
"Aowu!"
"Aowu!"
Chilling cries came from the darkness and in the next moment, a two-headed giant wolf with a size of over 3 meters, leapt over as its claws created narrow grooves in the ground.
[Wild Wolf Elite (Black Iron)]
Level: 2
Rank: Elite
HP: 2800
Attack: 126
Defense: 45
Magic Defense: 20
Skills: Pluck Lv3. Claw Lv2
Elite Aura: Provide 5% stats increase to allies within the monster's range.
"A two headed elite monster, huh, these kinds of opponents are what I call decent."
The Lv2 Wild Wolf Elite was over ten times stronger than the Lv1 wild wolves. There were differences in both the monster rank and title.
"AOWU!"
The Wild Wolf Elite launched a fierce lunge, its two heads in the opposite direction, forming a pincer movement against Su Ming.
It seemed almost impossible to dodge the attack.
After all, wild wolves were highly agile monsters and since this was an attack from an elite-ranked one, it was normal for Su Ming's speed to be slower.
-64!
-64!
Just then, Su Ming's body flickered with a hint of blue light. However, his HP remained the same...
The monster's damage was all absorbed by the『Frost Breaker』, and the shield value dropped down to 372. When the value reaches zero, the shield would explode in power, dealing an AOE* attack to his surroundings.
[TLN: *Area of Effect.]
Su Ming vigorously punched the Wild Wolf Elite with both of his fists with all his strength.
BANG! BANG!
-119!
-119!
The wolf's HP bar was reduced by a small amount. And in return, the wolf opened two of its mouths in anger, trying to bite Su Ming.
Su Ming didn't try to dodge at all, instead, he resisted all the damages, and soon, the shield value of『Frost Breaker』dropped down to zero. Frost Armor was instantly condensed on Su Ming's body.
Ka-cha——Ka-cha——
At the next moment, the frost armor suddenly shattered, turning into sharp, freezing ice fragments that exploded all over.
"AOWUU...."
The Wild Wolf Elite screamed miserably as the icy debris caused dozens of wounds to appear on its fur. Its bright red blood splattered on the ground.
-480!
-480!
The monster's HP plummeted as Su Ming's attack stimulated the huge wolves' bestial nature.
"AOWUUU!!!"
The Wild Wolf Elite launched its attacks furiously.
Su Ming's HP bar finally began to decrease but he was unbothered as a smirk appeared on his face. He backed up by a bit and unleashed his newly acquired skill!
Divine Spirit!
The golden glow condensed into a holy light elemental. It quickly activated the "Holy Light Technique", where a bridge of light was connected to Su Ming's body as his HP began to recover.
+100!
+100!
+100!
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining『Body Enhancement Lv1』buff."
"Ding..."
In just five seconds, his HP rose back to maximum and he had also received five layers of buffs.
If it weren't for his MP being limited, Su Ming would have used healing spells to cast buff on himself all day long.
He continued to engage in the battle...
A minute later, along with the last cry, the Wild Wolf Elite died violently. Its corpse was in a horrible condition as it was smashed and bruised everywhere by Su Ming's fists.
"You've killed 1 Wild Wolf Elite. EXP gained: 180"
Elite monsters gave a lot of EXP.
But the most important thing was the drops.
"Ding!"
"Loots obtained: 19 silver,『Wolf's Teeth(Black Iron)』,『Wolf Bone Armor(Black Iron)』..."
These harvests were quite decent.
Since it was his first elite kill, the drop rate was increased, so Su Ming got two Black Iron equipment: a dagger and heavy armor. The rest of the items were all blank slates.
After putting away the corpse of the Wild Wolf Elite and collecting the loot, Su Ming walked in front of the bronze treasure chest and opened it with some anticipation for the rewards.
A cyan light illuminated the entire forest.
"Brothers,our luck is very good today. We've encountered a bronze treasure chest."
一A voice rang out behind him.
Su Ming turned around to see a mage and a warrior standing under a tree in the distance. Both of them were staring at the treasure chest with strong greed within their eyes.If you want to support this book, pls go to https://f-w-o.com/novel/online-game-my-healing-becomes-a-permanent-buff/
