With a graceful leap, Di Tian propelled himself from the tree trunk where he had been resting and recovering from his injuries for the past few days. His serpentine body moved swiftly through the air, gliding with the ease of a fish swimming freely in the vast expanses of water.
Though he was still relatively new to flying, Di Tian had made significant progress. He couldn't soar to great heights yet, but maintaining a steady elevation of fifteen to twenty meters was now well within his capabilities.
As he soared through the sky, Di Tian relished the sensation of the air currents brushing against his scales. The newfound freedom of flight was exhilarating, and he marveled at how far he had come since his transformation into a True Dragon.
Within a mere fifteen minutes, Di Tian arrived at the area where the persimmon trees stood, a place he had visited not long ago when he confronted a gang of mischievous monkeys. The memory of that encounter flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for the current quest ahead.
Sweeping his eyes across the surroundings, he confirmed that he had returned to the very place where his monkey mayhem quest awaited. The persimmon trees stood peacefully, their fruits ripe and ready for harvest. However, the tranquility of the forest had been disrupted by the antics of the mischievous monkeys.
Di Tian prepared to once again demonstrate the strength of a True Dragon and bring an end to the monkey mayhem. With his enhanced physical parameters and newly acquired abilities, he was confident that he could swiftly deal with the wicked creatures and complete the quest.
Flexing his dragon claws and readying himself for battle, Di Tian descended closer to the ground, the excitement building within him. The monkeys may not know when to quit, but neither did he. He was able to slaughter them before and now he was much stronger than his past self.
Today, he would show them the true power of a dragon.
His serpentine body gracefully descended from the higher altitude, and he scanned the area below, searching for the group of monkeys he needed to eliminate to fulfill the quest's objective.
With his keen senses and aerial advantage, it didn't take long for Di Tian to spot the mischievous monkeys gathered together. Their playful antics disrupted the peace of the forest, and their numbers were indeed substantial, reaching a hundred in count.
Di Tian's eyes narrowed as he observed the monkeys. He knew that he had to approach this situation with caution. Despite his newfound power as a True Dragon, facing such a large group of adversaries could still pose a challenge. But he was no longer the weak egg monster he once was; he had grown into a dragon.
Taking a deep breath, he focused his mind and honed his instincts. He would need to strategize and engage in the most efficient way to complete the quest. The monkeys might be numerous, but he possessed superior physical parameters, combat skills, and initiate abilities.
Flexing his muscles and preparing his dragon claws, Di Tian readied himself for the confrontation. He knew that this battle would put his combat prowess to the test, and he was determined to emerge victorious.
With a swift burst of speed, Di Tian lunged forward, his serpent-like body slicing through the air as he descended upon the unsuspecting monkeys. The element of surprise would work in his favor.
RAOR!
He roared as he neared the ground stunning the monkeys, his claws were coated into strange energy enlarging them, making them sharper, swiftly and precisely targeting the monkeys. His claws cut through the air, and with deadly accuracy, he struck multiple monkeys in one fluid motion. The force of his attack sent the monkeys tumbling, and some were instantly incapacitated.
Roars and screeches filled the air as the monkeys realized the presence of a formidable opponent. They scattered in a desperate attempt to defend themselves, but Di Tian was relentless. He pursued them with unparalleled agility, employing his enhanced senses to anticipate their movements, he even attacked several trees making the escape of the monkeys more difficult.
Each swing of his dragon tail sent more monkeys flying, while his dragon breath engulfed groups of them in searing flames. He had more reserves of stamina than when he fought the pack of lions, allowing him to use his initiate abilities to dispatch the monkeys with ease.
With calculated precision and unwavering determination to complete the quest, Di Tian unleashed his abilities one by one, efficiently thinning the ranks of the monkey group. He moved like a whirlwind, leaving no room for the monkeys to regroup or mount a counterattack.
Time seemed to blur as the battle raged on. Di Tian's movements were fluid and graceful, a deadly dance of power and skill, the system issued notifications as his exp bar also steadily rose.
RAOR!!!
As the last monkey fell to the ground, defeated and subdued, Di Tian let out a triumphant roar. The monkey mayhem had been quelled, and he had emerged victorious.
Breathing heavily, he took a moment to assess the aftermath of the battle. The forest floor was strewn with corpses of monkeys, a testament to his prowess. Di Tian had surpassed his own expectations, leaving him with a renewed sense of confidence in his abilities, he didn't expect himself to become this powerful after getting to level 3.
"Sweet," Di Tian exclaimed with a satisfied smile, pleased with the increase in his spirit coins and enhancement points. There was no denying that having a substantial amount of spirit coins would grant him the flexibility to seize any excellent item that might appear in the system shop. The more he accumulated, the greater his chances of obtaining invaluable treasures that could aid him on his journey.
As for the enhancement points, Di Tian knew that he needed to exercise caution in their usage. While the allure of acquiring more powerful skills was tempting, he understood the importance of making rational decisions. Currently, his initiate abilities served as his main attack method, and his skills augmented their potency. Rather than focusing solely on enhancing the power of his skills, he recognized the significance of conserving his resources for strategic purposes.
The duration of his battles played a pivotal role in determining the outcomes of encounters. Having slightly less potent skills that could be utilized for an extended period of time would be more beneficial than possessing overwhelmingly powerful skills with limited usability. Exhaustion during critical moments could prove disastrous.
With a clear understanding of his priorities, Di Tian made a conscious choice to save his enhancement points for future opportunities. Each decision he made would pave the way for his growth and evolution into a formidable force in this world of uncertainty.
Satisfied with his handiwork he soared back into the sky, once more.
