4: Chapter 4 Oak Town

"Ka-ka!"

The ink box spun at high speed alongside Mo Bai's thoughts, making his every idea incredibly swift.

The distance and speed between the wolves before him, the time needed to deal with each wild wolf, the possible countermeasures, and even the time for the Wolf King to arrive, and so on.

For everything, results appeared as soon as Mo Bai's thoughts arose.

He even completed a full deduction of the countermeasures in his mind; everything was very easy and smooth.

His control over his body was as precise as a machine. As the ink box spun, Mo Bai easily achieved centimeter-level control while going all out.

With one strike of the staff, the landing point would not deviate by even a centimeter.

With one step forward, the distance would not vary by even a centimeter.

At this moment, Mo Bai's heart was filled with lofty pride.

Data regarding his previous fighting style against the wild wolves, their attack and dodge patterns, and their vital points all surfaced in his mind.

It takes a long time to describe, but in reality, it was only an instant, a mere pause.

The wild wolf in front of him was still spraying blood. Mo Bai directly pulled out the somewhat slippery long wooden staff and advanced instead of retreating.

"Bang!"

The long wooden staff accurately poked a wild wolf's eye, bursting it instantly. Amidst the tragic wolf howls, Mo Bai twisted his body to dodge a pounce from a wolf behind him.

He couldn't see the attack of the wolf behind him, but he could hear it.

He had enough reaction speed to think about where his feet should land and plan his dodging maneuvers in his mind.

The long wooden staff in his hand smashed down heavily, slamming the wolf that had missed its pounce onto the ground.

"Bang!"

He stomped his heel down hard while simultaneously thrusting the long wooden staff diagonally upward.

"Bang!"

The wolf that intended to pounce and pin Mo Bai down died instantly, and the wolf under his feet also stopped breathing.

"experience points +15."

"experience points +16."

"Exhilarating!"

Mo Bai let out a low growl. Hearing the Wolf King's anxious howls rapidly approaching, he twisted his waist and turned around, smashing the long wooden staff down like a whip.

The immense force even caused the long wooden staff to bend slightly.

When it landed solidly on the head of the wild wolf that had been blinded first, wood chips flew everywhere. The long wooden staff snapped, and the wolf bled from all its facial orifices, dying instantly on the spot.

"Bang!"

"experience points +16!"

"Awoo!"

The Wolf King's howl was soul-shaking, but at this moment, Mo Bai ignored it, even feeling a faint sense of excitement.

"Die!"

The broken section of the long wooden staff in his hand was forcefully shoved into the open mouth of a wild wolf.

"experience points +14."

"The fourth one!"

Mo Bai used the momentum to hurl the wild wolf's corpse away, blocking another wild wolf while pulling out the wooden staff.

He held the staff horizontally to block a wild wolf's mouth and slammed his knee upward.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"experience points +17."

"Hahaha, the fifth one!"

Mo Bai, having completely let loose, laughed loudly, but soon after, he was exhausted and torn to death by the remaining wild wolves.

"experience points -10."

But just as the wild wolves bit Mo Bai to death and were still tearing at his corpse, Mo Bai resurrected again.

Restored to his peak state, Mo Bai shoved an arm directly into a wild wolf's mouth, gave it a fierce grab and a twist, and pulled out a section of white windpipe.

"Heh-heh, heh-heh."

Before long, the wild wolf died.

"experience points +14."

Finally, Mo Bai grabbed the remains of the long wooden staff and forcefully thrust it through a wild wolf's eye.

"Puchi!"

"experience points +15!"

“Experience: 104/100.”

“level Up!”

The moment the system notification sounded, a beam of light enveloped Mo Bai, and all his injuries and fatigue were completely restored.

"system panel, expand."

"level: 1."

"experience points: 4/200."

"constitution: 8."

"Strength: 7."

"agility: 8."

"spirit: 10."

"charisma: 7."

"free attribute points: 1."

"I leveled up; I can finally assign points."

Mo Bai unhesitatingly added the free attribute point to his spirit.

He was someone who had firmly decided to undergo a class change to a Mage!

"How is my charisma only seven points? That shouldn't be right."

Mo Bai sat on the corpse of a wild wolf. Covered in blood, he looked down disdainfully at the wolves. Staring at the Wolf King that was charging over like a silver shadow, he suddenly thrust out the remaining wooden staff.

"It should at least be eleven or twelve..."

He gave a loud shout, but it was cut short halfway. A Wind Blade slashed down, and the Wind Blade, composed of countless fine blades, ground Mo Bai's entire lower body into mush.

Instant death!

"Hiss."

In his floating state, Mo Bai couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"Extraordinary! Truly Extraordinary!"

At this moment, he decisively chose not to resurrect. This gap was no longer something he could overcome just by resurrecting.

No matter how many times he resurrected, this Wolf King could attack or retreat as it pleased; he couldn't catch up and couldn't win. He had to think of a better way.

Watching the Wolf King tear out his heart and chew it in large gulps, then the remaining wolves tearing at his internal organs, and seeing the Wolf King's cold eyes, Mo Bai understood.

This Wolf King had marked him.

If he didn't deal with this Wolf King, he basically wouldn't be able to leave the town.

"Whew, just you wait."

Mo Bai whispered. He then stopped looking at the venting Wolf King and wild wolves and looked at the system notification.

"experience points -20."

"system panel."

"level: 1 (weakened state)"

"experience points: -16/200."

"constitution: 8."

"Strength: 7."

"agility: 8."

"spirit: 10 (11)."

"charisma: 7."

"Hiss, level 1 requires two hundred experience points to level up, and dying directly deducts twenty experience points from me."

Mo Bai felt a bit of heartache.

"Negative experience points... the point I just added turned into a weakened state and disappeared.

Does this mean I have to earn the experience points back to recover?"

Death penalties for level 1 and above were basically not seen on the forum, so he could only deduce the rules himself.

After floating in a soul state for over half an hour, he finally resurrected long after the Wolf King had left.

However, as soon as he resurrected, he felt a cold gaze from behind.

Ignoring what was behind him, he ran all the way.

If the Wolf King caught up, he would try to resist, wanting to witness the Wind Blade again.

But he didn't see it again afterward; he only faced the Wolf King's extremely fast speed and powerful physical attacks.

"Is there a time limit on the release of Wind Blade too?"

Mo Bai, who had finally reached a forest path, couldn't help but mutter.

"Then that makes things easier."

Cold wolf howls echoed behind him, but it didn't chase him anymore.

Only then did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

Not long after walking forward, Mo Bai saw a Hunters Cabin on a hill.

He took a look. Further ahead, the vegetation gradually thinned out. Before long, the path merged into a two-meter-wide dirt road. There were tidy farmlands on both sides with many farmers and farmwomen working in them, and a windmill spun slowly by the river in the distance.

At the end of the dirt road, tall rock walls formed a fortress. Soldiers guarded the walls, and farmers and merchants moved in and out through a massive archway.

In addition, the players who didn't follow the main road and crawled in distorted ways drew sideways glances.

And on the wall, it was written... "Oak Town!"
