After having the experience of beating up the Goblins, Lu Qingge quickly found a lone goblin.
When Lu Qingge discovered it, the green-skinned little guy was sitting against the trunk of a tree.
It was eating a small rabbit that he had just caught in the forest.
Although Goblins would eat some wild fruits in the forest, they were still carnivores.
Although they were at the bottom of the food chain of the wild monsters in Gran Forest, it was not a problem for them to bully some small hares and little furry creatures.
"You really deserve to die."
"Bunnies are so cute! How can you eat a bunny?!""
Lu Qingge was filled with righteous indignation as he raised the [Black Iron Sword] in his hand and charged forward.
The Goblin was still enjoying the delicious food.
Lu Qingge's sword slashed down on its head.
[-51!]
The number of a critical damage strike popped up.
"As expected, after switching weapons, even normal attacks have a significant increase in damage."
"This way, I don't have to fear low-level monsters like goblins. In addition, they live in groups. It's a much more useful experience treasure than [Slime]!"
Lu Qingge was a little excited.
After being slashed by Lu Qingge's sword, the goblin was clearly enraged. It jumped up from the ground. Then, it grabbed the wooden hammer in its hand and rushed toward Lu Qingge.
"Good!"
Seeing this scene.
Lu Qingge had already spread his legs apart in advance so that they were shoulder width apart.
Then, when the goblin rushed to his face, the core suddenly tensed up, exerting force on the ground.
Then, he swung his fist with all his might.
[Gale Fist!]
"Bang!"
There was a loud and heavy crash.
This squeaky green-skinned goblin...
Before it could even swing the club in its hand, it was knocked to the ground by Lu Qingge's punch.
[-64]
Looking at the damage numbers that popped up in front of him, Lu Qingge gasped slightly, feeling a little surprised.
[Gale Fist] was actually more powerful than he had imagined.
Although it was just a simple and unadorned punch.
However, the damage and impact were not low at all!
Even without the [Critical Hit] effect, the damage was much higher than the damage from his sword.
However, compared to the Swordsman's [Aerial Slash], the damage might be slightly lower.
But the problem was…
[Gale Fist] was really just a punch!
Not only did the skill activate quickly, but it also had a high degree of surprise.
The consumption of stamina was also lower!
The only weakness was that the attack range was relatively short.
That was not right. There was another flaw. That was…
What a f*cking waste of effort!
"Hiss…"
Lu Qingge took a deep breath and swung his wrist in the air.
"I don't know if [Goblin] is in pain, but it's true that my hand hurts." Lu Qingge muttered.
"No wonder so many warriors wear gloves that have protective and buffer effects."
"Otherwise, even steel and iron bones wouldn't be able to withstand such torment."
Although it was a little painful, through this ordinary punch, Lu Qingge vaguely felt it.
This [Gale Fist] skill seemed to be very interesting.
If he could level up this skill a little more, then, in the future, if he encountered a super close combat fight or a situation where his weapon was broken or disarmed, at the very least, he still had the strength to fight. He would not be crushed to death by his opponent.
Otherwise, in the future, if a Warrior who was good at close combat got close to him, basically, he could only let the other party ravage and play with him.
"In that case, let's prioritize upgrading [Gale Fist]!"
Lu Qingge silently said, "There's no time to lose. I have to start leveling!"
A few minutes later, the loud and miserable howls of his goblins could be heard again in Gran Forest.
Unknowingly, just like that, the boring leveling time passed.
Three days later, Lu Qingge, who was constantly gaining experience points every day, had also successfully accumulated 1000 experience points and upgraded [Level 1 Gale Fist] to [Level 10 Gale Fist].
[..]
[ Ding!]
[ You have gained enlightenment: Gale Fist!
[ Can upgrade the Gale Fist: Typhoon Fist!]
[ Level Up Experience Points: 5000!]
[..]
"Hmph. As expected."
The corners of Lu Qingge's lips curled up crazily.
With his previous experience with [Stellar Slash], the changes that happened to [Gale Fist] were exactly as he had expected!
It was just like [Thundering Stellar Slash].
When the skill reached lv10, [Gale Fist] had also unlocked a new form!
"Tsk tsk."
"However, this [Typhoon Fist] seems a little expensive."
"It's actually 2000 experience points higher than [Thundering Stellar Slash]."
"In that case, does this mean that I can look forward to the power of [Typhoon Fist]?"
Lu Qingge couldn't help but rub his small hands as he thought to himself.
"However, 5000 experience points will definitely take a while to gather."
"But now, I don't have much time to take things slow."
"Although the mission doesn't have a time limit, the annual [Hero Trial] is coming, and it won't wait for anyone!"
Lu Qingge took a deep breath and raised his head slightly.
His gaze fell in a certain direction.
[Shadow Den].
..
The next morning.
He finished counting his inventory.
Lu Qingge, who had confirmed that he had prepared all his supplies, arrived at Gran Forest again. Today, his goal was very clear.
[Shadow Cave]!
In the past few days, other than constantly farming Goblins to increase the level of the Skill Tree, Lu Qingge had been trying to find out more about the Shadow Den through various channels.
Therefore, he had a general understanding of the basic situation of that place.
However, the news and rumors were not very reliable. At most, they could only be used as a reference.
After all, there weren't many people who had personally visited the Shadow Den.
Therefore, many of the rumors circulating might not be accurate.
If he really wanted to understand the situation, he had to personally go to the scene to take a look. Hence, he decided to do it.
Following the map, Lu Qingge dived deep into the depths of [Gran Forest].
He quickly headed in the direction of the Shadow Den.
There was sufficient [Stamina Potion] and food.
Along the way, Lu Qingge's footsteps were as light as a swallow's. Half an hour later, he passed through the Goblin encampment.
Further ahead was a deeper area of the forest. Starting from this place, the number of players that Lu Qingge could see with his naked eye decreased significantly.
This scene made him feel nervous.
"Hiss…"
"Is this the legendary forest hinterland? As expected, there are very few people. It's as quiet as a grave, and it's chilly."
Lu Qingge subconsciously clenched his fists. His breathing began to quicken and his heart began to beat wildly.
"Really-"
"This is great!"
Not bad!
This feeling of no one fighting with him to kill monsters was really good!
Thinking of this…
Lu Qingge's body was so excited that he couldn't help but tremble.
At this moment, Lu Qingge's mind was filled with thoughts of the upcoming adventure in the [Shadow Den]. He didn't care about the nearby monster spawns.
But he did not notice that, behind him, there were three figures hiding in the bushes.
They had been watching him silently.
