23: Hidden dangers

In the forest.

“Woo woo!!”

A clear cry rang out as Extreme Cold Dragon Ice Purity restlessly rubbed against Situ Yu’s embrace, her two adorable big eyes curiously looking at her master.

She was a little confused as to why her master’s expression had suddenly become so strange.

After Ice Purity’s cry, the slightly dull atmosphere in the field was broken.

Wang Chen awkwardly touched his nose and looked seriously at Situ Yu.

“Thank you!”

“I’ll return the equipment to you after we leave Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.”

“Mm.”

Hearing this, the young girl nodded almost imperceptibly, her gaze shifting away evasively.

Seeing this, Wang Chen didn't say much; saying too much would only make things more awkward later.

Next, he replaced the beginner’s longsword on him with the Swift Wind Longsword, and his four-dimensional attributes saw an increase.

【Name: Wang Chen.】

【Profession: Giant Beast Master.】

【Rank: Level 10.】

【Talents: Affection of Myriad Beasts (SSS), Beast Fusion (God).】

【Skills: Beast Control Technique (S), Beast Control Spring Return Technique (B), Bloodline Identification Technique (God), Contract Summon (B).】

【Strength: 70+30 points.】

【Intelligence: 70+5 points.】

【Physique: 70+5 points.】

【Agility: 70+5 + 20 points.】

【Unallocated Attribute Points: 0 points.】

【Unallocated Skill Points: 0 points.】

…

Including the equipment’s boosts, his highest four-dimensional attributes, Strength and Agility, now reached one hundred points and ninety-five points respectively.

This attribute value can already rival a Level 20 first-turn Awakener.

From this, it can be seen how significant good equipment is for a Awakener’s improvement.

Of course, this was also because the attribute feedback Wang Chen received from Extreme Cold Dragon Ice Purity was powerful enough.

If it were an ordinary novice Awakener, even if they wore a full set of gold equipment, their attributes could not reach Wang Chen’s level.

“Let’s set off now!”

“First, let’s go to the first monster gathering point on the map to raise our Rank and get familiar with our coordination.”

After looking at his attribute panel, Wang Chen turned his head and suggested.

“Okay!”

Situ Yu nodded upon hearing this.

Then, the two began to travel.

…

Not long after the two left, four hurried figures appeared in the forest.

These four people were neatly and brightly equipped, with a hint of immaturity on their faces, clearly all novice Awakeners who had just recently changed professions.

“Young Master Chen, they went east.”

One of them observed the ground for a moment, then said to his companion beside him.

The one referred to as Young Master Chen was a pale-faced young man.

If Wang Chen and Situ Yu were there again, they would surely realize that he was Chen Hao.

“Hehe!”

“Catch up. When they encounter monsters, you guys make your move and cripple Wang Chen for me!”

Chen Hao sneered at this moment, his gaze sweeping over his three followers: “Remember, don’t hurt Situ Yu, otherwise don’t blame me for being impolite to you!”

“Understood, Young Master Chen!”

The three people beside him all nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Chen Hao nodded with satisfaction, his eyes somewhat excited.

As long as he eliminated Wang Chen, this country bumpkin, and then he jumped out to be a hero saving the beauty, he would definitely win the goddess’s heart.

“Go!”

Anticipating in his heart, he waved his arm and led his followers in big strides, chasing in the direction Wang Chen and Situ Yu had left.

…

…

“We’re here!”

“Ahead is the area where the Fallen One are active.”

An hour later, Wang Chen and Situ Yu appeared in the first monster habitat area marked on the electronic map.

This was a valley in the primeval forest, shaped like a pocket, with an area roughly equivalent to a football field.

At this moment.

Wang Chen and Situ Yu were standing behind a large tree, observing the situation in the valley in the distance.

One could see hundreds of green-skinned little dwarfs in the valley, gathered in twos and threes, either playing around or cooking something in huge clay pots.

If one ignored their ugly appearance, it looked like some primitive tribe here.

These green-skinned little dwarfs were the Level 15 challenge monsters, Fallen One.

Don’t let the word “Demon” in their name fool you; the Fallen One’s status in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range monster circle is actually inferior even to Goblins, who are about the same size as them.

These guys are naturally timid; a newly transferred novice Awakener can even solo one.

However, Fallen One never act alone; when they encounter enemies, they usually swarm them.

Therefore, for newly transferred novice Awakeners, the danger of these guys is still quite significant.

Moreover, sometimes some mutated individuals appear among the Fallen One, Awakening some special skills.

For example, Fallen One Shaman, Strong Fallen One Warrior… these mutated individuals whose challenge Rank reaches Level 20.

The Fallen One gathering place that Wang Chen and Situ Yu discovered at this time had such mutated individuals, and there was more than one.

【Monster: Fallen Demon Warrior.】

【Rank: Level 15.】

【Combat Style: Melee.】

【Skills: Bite, Charge.】

【Type: Normal.】

…

【Monster: Fallen One Shaman.】

【Rank: Level 20.】

【Combat Style: Ranged Output, Support.】

【Skills: Elementary Healing Spell, Venomous Ray.】

【Type: Mutated.】

…

【Monster: Strong Fallen One Warrior.】

【Rank: Level 20.】

【Combat Style: Melee.】

【Skills: Skin Hardening, Bite, Charge.】

【Type: Mutated.】

…

Behind the tree, Wang Chen cast a detection spell towards the Fallen One in the valley.

Seeing the information feedback from the detection spell, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Two mutated Fallen One, and among them, a rare Fallen One Shaman.

His and Situ Yu’s luck was truly unparalleled!

“What do we do now?”

Beside him, Situ Yu, who had also checked the attributes of this group of Fallen One, had a solemn expression and turned to Wang Chen to ask.

Although the strength of the Fallen One Shaman and the Strong Fallen One Warrior only increased by five Levels compared to ordinary Fallen One, the significance was completely different.

Once these guys appear, for the timid and cowardly Fallen One, they become the backbone.

With them present, the combat power that hundreds of Fallen One can exert will be at least 30-40% stronger than when they are not present.

Even though Situ Yu was one of Dongling City’s top Geniuses in her high school and wore a full set of silver equipment, encountering hundreds of Fallen One with a leader still made her feel a little intimidated.

However…

“Of course, we’ll just deal with it!”

Seeing the solemnity on Situ Yu’s face, Wang Chen shrugged indifferently, his expression very relaxed.

Since they had already encountered them, he naturally couldn’t give up this large wave of monsters.

He had just gotten his Swift Wind Longsword, and he still wanted to test how sharp this sword was!
