5: Druid

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

The quiet valley was disturbed by a series of beast roars.

Whoosh!

In an instant, countless birds flapped their wings, quickly moving away from the area.

In a corner deep within the valley, a fierce battle was unfolding.

Dense swarms of Beedrill surrounded hundreds of Sun Bears, attacking them frantically.

[Sun Bear]

Race: Beastkin

Tier: Tier 1

Level: 1

Health: 130

Attack: 12

Defense: 6

Skill: Heavy Strike

Sun Bears are considered excellent among Tier 1 monsters.

If it were a one-on-one fight, a Sun Bear could utterly crush a Beedrill.

Unfortunately, the world lacks 'ifs'.

While a Sun Bear's individual combat power is indeed strong, facing Troops nearly ten times its number is not enough.

The entire battle was almost a one-sided affair.

The Sun Bears angrily swung their paws, trying to kill the damned Beedrill.

But Beedrill are not ordinary bees; they are Tier 1 Troops.

Even if their individual strength is weaker than a Sun Bear's, it's not so weak that they would be instantly killed.

All the Troops swarmed forward.

[Your Troops killed a Sun Bear. Your Troops gained a small amount of experience. You gained 1 Gold Coin!]

[Your Troops killed a Sun Bear. Your Troops gained a small amount of experience. You gained 1 Gold Coin!]

[Your Troops...]

Killing Troops not only grants experience but also drops Gold Coins.

After about ten minutes, all the Sun Bears had fallen.

It must be said that the Sun Bears' strength was indeed formidable.

Even with a significant numerical disadvantage, they managed to kill 50 Beedrill in their desperate resistance.

However, the problem wasn't too big.

Each Sun Bear brought him 1 Gold Coin, and when he returned, he could produce over a hundred more Troops.

Li Feng quickly walked over to a Sun Bear's corpse.

A virtual interface appeared in his eyes.

“Monster corpse detected. Do you wish to collect?”

“Collect!”

[Collection successful. You obtained: Bear Meat * 10, Bear Hide * 1]

After successful collection, one Sun Bear's corpse disappeared.

In its place were the collected resources.

“This is quite convenient.”

Li Feng smiled slightly, putting all these resources into his personal backpack.

He then rushed to the next Sun Bear corpse without stopping, collecting it in the same manner.

[Collection successful. You obtained: Bear Meat * 10, Bear Claw * 10]

[Collection successful. You obtained: Bear Meat * 10, Bear Claw * 10]

[...]

A few minutes later, all one hundred Sun Bears had been transformed into materials in Li Feng's backpack.

“Oh? There's a cave.”

A Beedrill discovered a large cave not far away.

“Let's go take a look. Maybe there are some Sun Bears left behind.”

Thinking this, Li Feng waved his hand, and his army of Troops set off again.

This time, his goal was to explore the cave.

He had a premonition that he might find some unexpected gains here.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the cave, Li Feng saw another group of Sun Bears, about a dozen of them.

The cave was large enough for a dozen Sun Bears to advance abreast.

They roared and swarmed forward.

Then they quickly fell.

[Your Troops killed a Sun Bear. Your Troops gained a small amount of experience. You gained 1 Gold Coin!]

[Your Troops...]

Continuing forward, he successively killed hundreds more Sun Bears.

Li Feng's Troops also suffered significant losses, with only 900 Beedrill remaining now.

Surrounded by Beedrill like stars around the moon, he arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

“Human, how dare you disturb my slumber? You are seeking death!”

In the deepest part of the cave, a three-meter-tall Druid slowly stood up, looking at Li Feng with burning eyes.

Druids are a peculiar race; they are all Tier 1 when born.

But they can transform into other forms, and each transformation increases their Tier.

The highest can reach Tier 9.

[Druid - Bear Form]

Race: Naturekin

Tier: Tier 3 Elite

Level: 3

Health: 1040

Attack: 96

Defense: 48

Skills: Nature's Call, Thorns, Heavy Strike

Unexpectedly, a Tier 3 Elite monster was hidden deep within this cave.

In the Lord's World, besides ordinary monsters, there are also Elite monsters and BOSSes.

A Tier 3 Elite monster is more than just a little stronger than a regular Tier 3 monster.

Even ordinary Tier 4 Troops are no match for a Tier 3 Elite monster; only Tier 5 Troops can deal with them.

As for Tier 1 Troops, unless you sacrifice an enormous number of lives.

In the Endless Continent, if you can't break through defense, you simply can't break through defense; there's no concept of forced 1 point damage like in online games.

However, there's also no concept of defense never decreasing like in online games.

If attacked too many times, the body's defense will naturally decrease.

But with the damage of Tier 1 Troops, it would take at least hundreds of attacks to achieve this.

Meanwhile, a Tier 3 Elite only needs one or two attacks to kill a Tier 1 Troop.

So, it truly requires sacrificing an enormous number of lives.

“Roar!”

The Druid, whose appearance was extremely similar to a Sun Bear, let out an angry roar, intending to scare Li Feng away.

Although Beedrill are considered weak Troops, their sheer numbers made the Druid a little wary.

“Too noisy. Kill him for me.”

Li Feng had no intention of retreating; he was going to slaughter this Druid today.

This was not only because of the confidence given by the number of Beedrill.

Beedrill's skill, [Poison Sting], is one of the few skills with penetration damage.

Penetration damage means ignoring defense.

With Li Feng's command, all the Beedrill flapped their wings and charged towards the Druid.

“Roar!”

The Druid was furious, and its huge bear paw immediately slammed the ground.

A summoning circle instantly appeared on the ground, summoning 10 Sun Bears in one go.

At the same time, the Druid also cast Thorns.

Thorns emerged from underground, easily coiling around dozens of Beedrill and instantly killing them.

But more Beedrill had already rushed in front of the Druid and the Sun Bears.

The 10 Sun Bears struggled only briefly before all were annihilated.

[Your Troops killed a Sun Bear. Your Troops gained a small amount of experience. You gained 1 Gold Coin!]

[Your Troops...]

Only the Druid continued to roar.

It swung its massive bear paws wildly, and with each attack, a dozen Beedrill were swatted dead.

But it was also constantly attacked by the Beedrill.

Hundreds of Beedrill surrounded it from all directions, continuously attacking and causing its Health to plummet rapidly.

The advantage of the Beedrill's small size was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Each time, dozens of Beedrill's attacks were able to land on the Druid.

“Ah!”

With a final scream, the Druid's massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a large amount of dust.

[Your Troops killed a Druid (Elite). Your Troops gained a large amount of experience. You gained 40 Gold Coins. You obtained 1 Tier 3 Treasure Chest!
