Chapter 52 - 50: Bountiful Harvest

Hang Yu dared not take any chances.The Wood Demon servants were extremely fast, and taking on three at once would be quite dangerous.

After shooting an arrow, he quickly retreated to avoid their pounce, pulling out a Root Entanglement scroll and activating it. Suddenly, numerous roots sprang from the ground, trapping two Wood Demons in place.

The other Wood Demon servant continued to move forward cluelessly.

Hang Yu shot another arrow, set aside his crossbow, and drew his sword, ready for close combat.

The Wood Demon servant swung its arm like a whip towards his head, powerful and shrieking as it sliced through the air.

Hang Yu dodged by bending, supporting himself on the ground with his left hand as he lunged forward, stabbing with his right hand. The sword pierced the Wood Demon’s wooden body, but its hardness prevented any deep injury.

He maneuvered around to the Wood Demon’s back.

With two slashes, he chopped off the Wood Demon’s head.

Its body twitched a few times before finally collapsing.

One down!

Hang Yu didn’t have time to relax.

The two Wood Demon servants quickly broke free from their bindings.

He dodged an attack from one servant and struck the Wood Demon’s head with his sword.

The other Wood Demon servant attacked almost simultaneously, its arm elongating and sharpening like a wooden spike, aiming at Hang Yu’s heart.

The attack was quick, fierce, and cunning.

Given Hang Yu’s current agility, it was unlikely he could dodge both attacks simultaneously. All he could do was twist his body to avoid a critical hit.

There was a piercing sound.

The spike punctured the chest armor.

Hang Yu gasped, "Damn, that really hurts," fearing his lung might be punctured. Such a wound would be fatal in the real world, but here it only caused four points of damage.

He reacted swiftly, cutting off the wooden spike, activating Stealth, and disappearing from sight.

The Wood Demon servants, as summoned monsters, had low Spiritual Sense attributes and weren’t very perceptive. As they stood there confused, Hang Yu had already moved behind the Wood Demon.

"Die!"

Hang Yu reappeared, executing a jumping slash.

The sword struck the head wound sharply, splitting it in half like chopping wood, inflicting as much as 8 points of damage.

He swiftly withdrew the sword, gripping the handle with both hands, twisting his waist for a horizontal slash.

The heavily injured Wood Demon was sent flying from the powerful strike.

It suffered an additional 5 points of damage, its body dismembered mid-air, and when it hit the ground, it was just a pile of debris... generally requiring only three solid hits on such monsters.

At that moment,

Hang Yu felt a sharp pain in his back.

Smack!

The last Wood Demon servant ate a rubber fruit or something, its leg extended like a whip, striking Hang Yu’s back, causing 3 points of damage.

"Young man, you’re really cocky, huh!"

Hang Yu was enraged by the creature managing to hit him twice.

He had to be cautious against two or three, but now it was one on one!

How dare this straggler act so arrogantly?

Watch me hack you to pieces!

The Wood Demon servant was quite strong for a level 3 ordinary monster, but it was still just a common monster. Under Hang Yu’s relentless hacking and slashing, it quickly fell, unable to get up again.

Wood Demon servant dealt with.

No more time to waste!

Hang Yu didn’t even bother with the healing fruit.

He immediately drew his crossbow and charged toward the Tree Spirit Guard Captain, and in that short time, the tree spirit had already recovered 20% Life Energy, but it didn’t matter, it had no trump cards left.

Hang Yu accelerated the pace of his attack.

He concentrated his assault within ten minutes.

Eventually, the Tree Spirit Guard Captain, a Silver Elite, could not escape its fate of being slain by Hang Yu. Upon its death, it released a large amount of Spiritual Qi, dropping several light spheres, with several being white.

Hang Yu’s Spiritual Qi instantly increased by nearly thirty points.

His current Spiritual Qi was 199\280, only 81 Spiritual Qi away from leveling up from level 3 to level 4. Such a speed of improvement could be regarded as terrifying!

After all, Hang Yu single-handedly killed a bunch of elite monsters.

Other people, unless encountering extremely rare and special adventures, would find it difficult to obtain more Spiritual Qi in such a short time compared to Hang Yu.

The items dropped by the Tree Spirit Guard included a piece of White Equipment, two pieces of Gray Equipment, two White Items, five White Crystal Stones, and a Tree Spirit Fruit.

Upon seeing the White Equipment, Hang Yu immediately showed a look of great joy.

[Tree Spirit Guard’s Life Chest Armor], level 4 equipment, White Upper Grade Quality, Constitution +2, Physical Defense +3, Magic Defense +5, Life Energy +5, one piece of the Tree Spirit Guard Set.

Finally, a chest armor exploded!

And it’s a small top-grade!

Tree Spirit Guard equipment is generally Light White Equipment.

Yet this piece of chest armor was unexpectedly Bright White Equipment, with an additional 5 points of Life Energy attribute bonus, significantly enhancing survival ability, making this already valuable chest armor worth double just for the 5 points of life bonus.

The Tree Spirit Guard Set’s Physical Defense is above average, but its Magic Defense is extraordinarily strong, especially this chest armor, adding 5 points to Magic Defense.

Once Hang Yu reaches level 4 and puts on the set, he will become a nemesis for magic users!

Even if Zhang Xiaoqiang rises to level 4, his Fireball will have difficulty severely harming Hang Yu unless Zhang Xiaoqiang also switches to level 4 White Equipment. Otherwise, even this powerful magic professional will likely not threaten Hang Yu.

Such a gain is already enough for Hang Yu!

However, the items drop from the Tree Spirit Guard didn’t end there.

It also dropped a Bright Grey Dagger, a Bright Grey Shield, a Dark White book, and a piece of Dark White leaf.

"Fine Poison Wood Dagger," level 3, Gray Upper Grade Quality, Physical Attack +2, Poison Damage +1, Durability 15 (consumption of six Gray Crystal Stones to bring to the real world.)

"Fine Ironwood Round Shield," level 3, Gray Upper Grade Quality, Physical Defense +3, Magic Defense +2, Independent Defense +3, Durability 15 (consumption of six Gray Crystal Stones to bring to the real world.)

"Spirit Farmer’s Book: Basic Spirit Plant Improvement," level 3, White Lower Grade Quality, allows Spirit Farmer to grasp Cultivation Skill of Spirit Plant Improvement, learning requirements low-level Cultivation Skill. (consumption of 1 White Crystal Stone to bring to the real world.)

"Tree Spirit Healing Leaf," White Lower Grade Quality, can restore 1 point of Life Energy to oneself or a target within one meter for each 1 point of Spirit spent in non-combat situations, Durability 15 (consumption of three White Crystal Stones to bring to the real world.)

The dagger and shield attributes were decent enough that they could sell for a good price.

This time, there was also a special breakthrough: the Spirit Farmer’s Book.

It’s an exclusive item for production professionals.

Like a potion formula or an Artifact Refining Blueprint.

However, the Spirit Farmer’s Book is even rarer, letting Spirit Farmers master cultivation skills to enhance their cultivation capabilities. It can be taken back to the real world for Monkey, possibly improving the courtyard’s Tree Spirit quality, constantly increasing its limits, and maybe even evolving into a Golden Elite!

As for the Healing Leaf, it’s a good item too.

It’s essentially a downgraded, non-upgradeable Light Injury Healing skill.

Because it can only be used outside combat and exchanges one point of Spirit for one point of Life, it’s of little use in battle, but if taken to the real world, it’s a healing treasure.

Currently, medicinal supplies are scarce, and finding doctors is quite difficult, so this thing is pretty valuable.

Finally managing to get the chest armor made Hang Yu very satisfied with these spoils, befitting the wealthiest monster in the valley.

However, the harvest this time didn’t end there!
