Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: This is What We Call Group Brushing.

To be on the safe side, he allocated the remaining 10 attribute points to his constitution. His physical defense reached 256, and his magical defense reached 226.

With everything ready, Wu Shaochen approached once again. When he was about to reach his attack range, he directly crushed a scroll, instantly doubling his defense. His physical defense reached 512, and his magical defense reached 452 points. He also reduced nearby targets' physical damage by 50% and then swiftly charged towards the group of bandits.

Soon, the bandits noticed the intruder, and arrows flew towards Wu Shaochen. Upon impact, each arrow caused -1 damage that was unblockable. Before Wu Shaochen could celebrate, a series of fireballs flew towards him.

"Damn it! I forgot to calculate the skill damage bonus!"

Wu Shaochen was shocked. As a mage, he didn't have a basic attack. The Fireball spell, with a cooldown of 3 seconds, acted as his basic attack. However, Fireball had a spell damage bonus of 120%. In just one round of Fireball spells, it instantly depleted over a thousand points of Wu Shaochen's health.

There was no turning back for Wu Shaochen. He had to face it head-on. He quickly drank a bottle of Large Health Potion, which restored 100 health per second for 10 seconds. This was the best healing option he had for continuous health regeneration. The main city had better potions, but he forgot to buy them or, one could say, he was too confident in himself to bother.

After consuming the potion, Wu Shaochen took out a bottle of Instant Recovery Potion, endured the pain, and drank it to restore his health to full. Then, he continued his charge. Fortunately, the mage's Fireball spell had a cooldown of 3 seconds. If it were like the archer's arrows, he would have been in trouble.

As he saw the bandit warriors and shield bearers approaching, Wu Shaochen pushed his speed to the limit. He bypassed one melee bandit after another and headed straight for the enemy archers and mages. The attacks from these melee bandits only caused him to lose 1 health point each, which was completely insignificant. The bandit warriors' skills could normally break through defenses, but under the effect of the Stone Skin Scroll, which reduced physical damage by 50%, they couldn't penetrate his defense at all.

However, he still underestimated the threat posed by a fully equipped lineup. While running, he was stunned for 2 seconds by a shield bearer's shield bash.

"Damn it! How annoying!" Just at that moment, the mage's second skill was also activated, but it wasn't Fireball; it was Frostbolt.

"Two skills? Damn!" Seeing the Frostbolt about to hit him, Wu Shaochen reluctantly activated his Void skill. This skill was great, but it had a whopping 5-minute cooldown and was rarely used in normal situations. It was saved for life-saving moments.

After using Void, his body instantly entered a state of nothingness, breaking free from the stun. The mage's Frostbolt spell missed him as a result.

While in the void state, Wu Shaochen broke free from the encirclement and charged towards the mages.

However, those mages were clever and tried to retreat. Unfortunately, with Wu Shaochen's movement speed of over 300, it was impossible for them to escape.

As Wu Shaochen rushed towards the mages, their close-quarters maneuverability was greatly restricted. It was difficult for them to lock onto Wu Shaochen, who was moving swiftly. This gave Wu Shaochen some breathing room. He applied two layers of poison to each mage and then ran away. Since mages usually have lower health than archers, two layers of poison were enough.

Soon, all ten mages were poisoned, and during this time, Wu Shaochen only suffered damage from three fireballs and one Frostbolt spell. Although Frostbolt reduced his movement speed by 30%, it didn't have a significant impact on Wu Shaochen, who had a movement speed of over 300.

After applying the poison, Wu Shaochen wasted no time and ran outward. He decided to deal with the archers after the mages were defeated. He couldn't withstand the damage from the mages, even with the Instant Recovery Potion. The potion only restored 1000 health and had a 10-second cooldown, which was not enough to sustain him.

Enduring another wave of fireball damage, Wu Shaochen finally escaped the range of the mages' attacks and quickly ran away.

"Phew, that was close! I used a scroll and even wasted an Instant Recovery Potion, all for dealing with ordinary monsters. What a waste!" Wu Shaochen complained.

Next, Wu Shaochen calculated the timing and returned to the front of the bandit stronghold in less than a minute. As expected, the magic users were all defeated. Now, Wu Shaochen felt more courageous. The Stone Skin Scroll still had about four minutes left, and none of the physical attacking bandits could penetrate his defense. He confidently charged towards the bandits, heading straight for the archers. Although Extreme Speed was still on cooldown, Wu Shaochen had a movement speed of over 200 and a 54% attack speed, making his poison application speed incredibly fast.

It took over a minute to poison all the archers, mainly because the shield bearers and warriors kept blocking his way. The shield bearers' shield bash could stun, which was quite annoying. After poisoning the archers, Wu Shaochen continued to poison anyone he could catch, using Extreme Speed whenever it was available.

When the scroll's duration was about to end, Wu Shaochen suddenly noticed that almost half of the bandits were poisoned. Only about twenty of them remained unperturbed, and among those already poisoned, many had fallen. There were only around fifty bandits left standing.

"This is what we call group brushing," Wu Shaochen exclaimed.

He led these bandits in a circle, checking if any of the fallen bandits dropped valuable equipment. Surprisingly, he found two pieces of black iron equipment among the numerous white ones, which delighted him. Judging by the quantity of white equipment dropped, the bandits had a much higher drop rate compared to other monsters. To his amazement, Wu Shaochen even found several silver coins, not copper coins. The bandits actually dropped silver coins. This made Wu Shaochen feel that everything he had done was worth it.

Quickly pick up two pieces of black iron equipment and the silver coins on the ground. Wu Shaochen is too lazy to pick up the white equipment and copper coins. I have the capital to be proud now.

Looking at the remaining twenty-two bandits, Wu Shaochen is still a little headache. These bandits cannot be separated and will all attack together once they are within the range of hatred. It is troublesome to be surrounded, especially when the shield guard's shield strike can stun for two seconds. Now there are no scrolls left, so it is easy to die if stunned.

Checked my own status just now. I actually killed 124 bandits within five minutes. My talent is now at 420, and I am currently level 14, which is 30 times my level. I have improved by one realm, which is ten times higher than I expected.

With my current poison damage, both the warrior and the shield guard only need two layers of poison.

Damn, why be afraid? I have already wiped out more than a hundred, why be afraid of these twenty-something? Seeing that Extreme Speed and Void are fine, Wu Shaochen activates Extreme Speed and rushes over.

He now has enough speed advantage, with a movement speed that is more than three times theirs. The possibility of being surrounded is small, and his defense is as high as 256. He only loses less than 200 health from a warrior's normal attack, and the shield guard's attack can only take away more than 400 health, which is only a little over 140 health.

The only troublesome thing is their skills. The warrior's skill can deal more than 400 damage, but I can withstand it. They are all melee attackers. Even if I don't move, I can only be attacked by a maximum of 8 people at the same time. If I slightly adjust my position, I can reduce it to 4 people. Even if they use all four skills, it will only be a little over 1,800 health. It's completely fine, but I need to be careful not to get stunned, otherwise I can only activate Void.

After rushing over, Wu Shaochen made a slight detour, and in the front, he faced only four bandits: three warriors and one shield guard. When he activated Extreme Speed, he was able to attack twice per second, which meant he could apply two layers of poison to the shield guard in one second. Surprisingly, the shield guard didn't use any skills, but two of the warriors did. Wu Shaochen endured the damage from the two skills and applied poison to another warrior.

Glancing at his remaining health, which was still at half, Wu Shaochen distanced himself a bit, making the bandits behind unable to surround him. Then, he applied two layers of poison to another warrior, and just as the shield guard was about to use a skill, Wu Shaochen decisively ran away, successfully avoiding a shield strike.

After running away, Wu Shaochen's eyes lit up. Can his current speed actually dodge some attacks? The shield guard's skill has a starting gesture, and the warrior's skill also has a starting gesture. In that case, the difficulty is much lower. Just need to be careful to dodge the shield guard's shield strike.
