Ye Xuan looked at Tongtong's attributes and didn't know what to say. The attribute boost of this little dragon was truly terrifying.
The attribute boost from level 5 to level 7 was almost comparable to the previous four-level boost.
If Tongtong continued to grow like this, wouldn't she become invincible in the future?
Ye Xuan was sighing in amazement.
At this moment…
The system's voice suddenly sounded.
Ding!
[New mission discovered: Saving the damsel in distress!]
[Mission Requirement: Miss Tang is in danger. Go help her quickly.]
[Completion Reward: Diamond-level treasure chest*2; Legendary-level treasure chest*1!]
[Failure Penalty: None]
[Time Limit: Within one hour.]
[Note: This matter is extremely urgent. Please make sure to act quickly, Host.]
This new mission came so suddenly.
Ye Xuan almost overlooked it at first.
But when he carefully read the content, he suddenly jolted..
"Saving the damsel in distress?"
There's a mission like this?
Tang Rou is in danger?
He slapped himself on the forehead!
He almost forgot!
Before this, he remembered that when Wang Feng, Zhang Qing, and Tang Rou entered the Netherwood Forest, there were three suspicious men trailing behind them.
At that time, Ye Xuan wanted to remind them, but he was worried that Wang Feng and the others would consider it meddling, so he didn't bother.
Sure enough…
Were those three guys really planning something bad?
Of course, it wasn't surprising.
The equipment Tang Rou had on her, especially that weapon, was a treasure that many people dreamt of.
For a priest to carry such luxurious equipment outside, it was like a three-year-old child walking on the streets with a big piece of gold in his arms.
It was normal for someone to target her in such a situation!
Even if Tang Rou was a wealthy young lady from a prestigious family, even if her father was powerful and her family's influence was immense, so what?
In the desolate wilderness, there were plenty of desperate outlaws who would rise up at the sight of wealth!
It was quite common for naive young ladies like her, who were unaware of the dangers of the world, to suffer significant losses in such situations.
"Tongtong… quickly search and see what's happening around us."
Ye Xuan didn't waste any time.
No matter what, they were still his classmates.
If he could be of assistance when they were in danger, he felt it was only right to help out.
Netherwood Forest.
In a small valley.
At this moment…
There were six figures in the valley.
Around them was a scene of fierce battle. A large number of monster corpses were strewn all around.
Most of these dead monsters were Bull-headed Monsters and Nether Spiritual Cats. Of course, there were also a few higher-level variants such as Nether Cat Demons and Silver Bull-Headed Giant Beasts.
The latter two types of monsters were mutated variants of the former; their levels reached 14 and 15 respectively, and their strength was much greater than the former, with additional special effects in their attacks.
Overall, they could be considered as the leaders of the former!
However, encountering an organized and coordinated team, it would be difficult for these monsters to prevail if their numbers were not too great.
But this battle just now was clearly not that simple.
Although the monsters were all dead, the six individuals were also covered in wounds and utterly exhausted.
Especially Tang Rou, Wang Feng, and Zhang Qing, whose levels were relatively low among the group of six.
Wang Feng and Zhang Qing had practically risked their lives to protect Tang Rou, and now they were barely hanging on by a thread.
Tang Rou had continuously used buffs and healing spells to protect her teammates, depleting a significant portion of her energy as well.
On the other hand, the three burly men…
Although they seemed to be the main force in the battle just now, they were still full of vigor.
As frequent visitors to the Netherwood Forest, they knew how to conserve their strength when teaming up with outsiders.
They had relied on Tang Rou's buffs to restore their stamina, and although they still had some wounds on their bodies, they were mostly superficial injuries that hadn't affected them much.
Their purpose in doing so…
Of course, it was to stab their exhausted companions in the back when the time was right.
For example, now…
After exchanging glances, Tiger One, Tiger Two and Tiger Three made their decision.
The three guys each held a large blade and cast a sinister gaze upon the three inexperienced students.
"What… what do you want?"
At this moment, Wang Feng finally realized that something was wrong with these three men.
His eyes became alert!
However, he was already exhausted, unable to even lift his weapon.
Zhang Qing desperately picked up his staff, but his mental strength had long reached its limit, turning his staff into nothing more than a burning stick.
A sense of dread crept into Tang Rou's heart. It seemed that trouble had arrived!
All she could do was hold onto her staff, ready to fight if danger truly befell them.
"Hahaha… What do we want? Isn't it obvious?"
Tiger One's face bore a lecherous smile.
These three men, each brandishing a large cleaver, slowly closed in on the three inexperienced students.
When the three burly men approached Wang Feng and the others, the pressure on the students became overwhelming.
Wang Feng felt as if he couldn't even catch his breath, his face turning pale!
"Don't forget the Miss's identity!"
"If you dare cause trouble here, the Tang family won't let you get away with it."
Knowing that they were completely incapable of dealing with these three men, Zhang Qing once again invoked Tang Rou's background.
At the moment, their only hope seemed to lie in Tang Rou's influential background.
However…
"I know… Didn't you say it a couple of days ago?"
The three burly men were not scared at all. On the contrary, they grew even more excited.
"Kid, what's the fun in robbing ordinary students? How many valuable items can you find on average students? It might even bring unnecessary trouble!"
"The three of us specialize in robbing chicks like you… The daughter of the wealthiest man in Yun City? Even better!"
"That's exactly what we're after!"
Tiger One spoke with excitement evident in every word.
Da Hu's appearance frightened Tang Rou, her face turning pale.
She had never imagined such a situation.
Wherever she went in the past, as long as she mentioned her distinguished identity, everyone in Yun City treated her with respect and courtesy.
Who would have thought that in this place, her status would be rendered useless?
Not only was it useless, it had become a death warrant!
"Tiger Two, Tiger Three! No need to waste time. Kill those two boys. Keep this chick!"
With Tiger One's command, Tiger Two and Tiger Three immediately moved to attack, intending to kill Wang Feng and Zhang Qing first.
However, at that moment…
With two thuds, both Wang Feng and Zhang Qing knelt down.
