With two hunters, Lin Rui plans to immediately build the Hunter's Lodge, but before that, he must cleanse the forest perimeter.
Thus, he points Kurt in the right direction, instructing him to lead the other four to move supplies back to the territory, while he takes five Knights to continue sweeping through the forest.
The forest is overrun with monsters, rampant and disastrous, seemingly an embodiment of demonic nightmares for humans.
Apart from those large camps, there are wandering wild monsters everywhere, like Horror Wolves, Corpse Ghosts, Earth Spike Insects, etc. Some of these monsters hide in tree tops, some in shadows, some in ambush underground, and even though the five of Lin Rui are Tier One Extraordinary, they are still unable to guard against them.
Moreover, their attack desire is extremely strong, basically, as long as a Knight passes by, they will definitely be ambushed, relentless until death.
Fortunately, Lin Rui's Wisdom is now 38 points, and once serious, he is comparable to a humongous human computer.
"Duncan, Lotte, both of you activate your Knight's Shield. Duncan, swap positions with Roger, go to the forefront. Lotte, guard the left side, I'll guard the right side."
"Understood, Lord."
"As you command, Lord."
As soon as the words fell, a white spider silk dropped from the sky and wrapped around Lin Rui. A tremendous force suddenly attacked, intending to drag Lin Rui into the shadows of the trees.
But Lin Rui's Physique Value of 27 is not much lower than the Knights', like a javelin nailed to the ground, calmly ordering: "Lusen, 1 o'clock direction treetop, follow the spider silk, Shield Strike."
Lusen immediately bursts out with golden Flaming Sun Energy, holding the shield on his left arm, charging towards the treetop like a dazzling golden light shooting into the shadow of the treetop.
In the next moment, an enormous spider was knocked down, its massive abdomen covered in coarse hairs, with two gigantic fangs on its face bared sinisterly under its dark red skin.
Tier One Level Eight Wild Monster, Rimos Rotting Spider!
Lance promptly cut off the silk wrapped around Lin Rui, while the remaining three Knights swiftly charged towards the Rimos Rotting Spider during its dazed period.
The three Knights moved like lightning, leaping high, each brandishing warhammers and battle axes, smashing down in mid-air, exuding a violent aesthetics.
[-125]
[-85]
[-70]
[-80]
In an instant, the monster lost 360 life points.
The monster, waking from its daze, let out an angry roar, raised its sharp claws to stab the Knight beside.
But his luck was extremely unlucky, the target turned out to be Elite Knight Roger.
As an Elite-level Troop, he had 29 Physique points at Tier One Level One. After joining the Golden Pansy Domain, he obtained a Fine-level blue weapon and leveled up, now boasting 33 Physique.
This powerful Physique, coupled with a 10% speed boost from the Wild Battle Banner, makes his movements extremely swift. Leaping with force, he sidestepped over thirty meters. If not for Rimos Rotting Spider having eight eyes, it wouldn't even see the movement route of this Elite Knight.
Flashing behind Rimos Rotting Spider, Roger seized the opportunity when the monster was inconvenienced to turn, and stabbed his axe spear fiercely into the monster's abdomen.
"Roar~" The monster roared sharply in pain, a circular wave spread around him, blowing aside the rotten leaves and grass.
"Duncan, Lotte, full force attack, everyone else retreat." Under Lin Rui's command, two Knights used their shields to follow the air wave head-on, warhammer, and battle axe directly smashing towards the spider's sharp legs.
The spider's blade-like leg was smashed and broken by great force, oozing disgusting dark green liquid. The other three Knights swiftly dodged back, leaping to hide from the spider's air wave attack range.
The Tier One Level Eight Giant Monster, a hideous magical beast, didn't even leave a scratch before falling under Duncan's hammer.
When his third hammer fell, the Annihilation Special Effect occurred, dealing forty points of Spiritual Damage. The azure Spiritual Power erupted within the spider's abdomen, causing the abdomen to instantly explode under ferocious damage, scattering colorful items all over.
Lin Rui joyfully said: "After killing dozens of hideous monsters, finally a glittering burst."
[Ding, your subordinate Excellence-level Knight Duncan killed a wild monster: Rimos Rotting Spider. As the Lord, you receive 10% of the experience. Experience +60.]
[Ding, obtained Realm Coin 125]
[Ding, obtained enhanced-level weapon (green) Poisoned Daggers *2]
[Ding, obtained ordinary-level armor: Dark Red Memnon's Leather Armor *3]
[Ding, obtained item seed of emerald green]
[Ding, obtained resource Gem *2]
[Ding, obtained tailoring material: Fine spider silk *20]
Finally saw the gems! They might drop when killing monsters with a flashy burst.
Oh, women, whether Goddess or not, always love these shiny stones.
[Seed of emerald green: A life seed full of vitality, though insignificant, still adds a measure of hope for the continuation of life. Consuming it increases Life Value Limit by 50]
Life Value Limit +50?
Please recalculate.
After Lin Rui consumed it, under the blessing of the Epic Trait "Riding Jade Immortal," this one seed equates to a 370 point Life Value increase for Lin Rui's army.
Fifty life points can allow Lin Rui to cast "Moon-breaking Blade" five times, restoring 350 Life Value to a Knight. That equals to an increase of half the Knights' Life Value Limit.
"Roar~"
"Roar~"
The six just finished clearing the battlefield when they heard terrifying roars echoing from afar.
Roger widened his eyes: "Oh, my old waist, can't bear it anymore. Hit one and they all swarm. If they keep pestering Uncle Luo like this, I fear I won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."
"Didn't expect Uncle Luo's taste to be so peculiar!" Lusen clicked his tongue and sighed.
"Damn it, the Roaring Beast Swarm is coming, Lusen you can still think of that, you'll die in a woman's stomach sooner or later," Duncan cursed.
