The monster suffered a loss and kept retreating while staring at Wu Bei. How could Wu Bei let him go? Using mysterious footwork, he instantly reached the right side of the monster and then slashed out with his sword.
"puff!"
Under the injury, the monster's reaction was much slower, and its head was chopped off before it had time to dodge. When the monster died, Wu Bei felt a force pouring into his body, making his strength increase by more than 10% out of thin air.
.
He was stunned for a moment, what was going on? The death of the monster could actually improve his strength?
He put away the knife and continued walking forward. After walking a few miles, he felt something secretly following him, so he stopped again. Soon, five wolves appeared around him.
These five wolves, with their heads and joints covered in bones, were two meters tall at the shoulders, and were taller than horses. Each one of them showed their fangs and slowly approached him.
When the five wolves approached, Wu Bei subconsciously felt that the strength of a single wolf was slightly weaker than the previous monster, about 80% of its strength. The combined combat power of the five wolves was far greater than that of the previous monster.
.
He exhaled. At the seventh level of body tempering, he was not afraid of wolves. With the martial arts experience he brought, he could handle them even if they were doubled.
"Roar!"
A wolf rushed from the left, obviously a tentative attack. As long as Wu Bei raised his knife, the other wolves would attack at the same time.
Wu Bei had always been calm. It was not until the wolf came within two meters of him that he suddenly ducked and swung his knife.
"puff!"
A wolf head rolled down and blood splattered.
The other wolves immediately stepped forward, their swords flashing like horses, splitting them in two, and killed all the two wolves that attacked fastest, one in the waist and the other in the head.
The other two wolves that jumped into the air were shocked, and immediately turned around in mid-air and fled to both sides.
"call out!"
Wu Bei's steps were as fast as lightning. He caught up with one of them in the blink of an eye and killed it with one strike. The other wolf only escaped ten meters, but he also caught up with him and killed it with one strike.
After killing five wolves, he felt five forces enter his body one after another, and his strength increased by half!
"It seems that what happened before was not accidental. As long as I kill the monster, I can get part of the energy!"
"Isn't it weird?" Suddenly, a voice sounded dozens of meters away, and a middle-aged man slowly walked out.
Seeing this person, Wu Bei knew that the other person was a master whose realm exceeded the Body Tempering Realm.
He looked at the person coming and held the handle of the knife in his hand.
The middle-aged man said: "Don't be nervous. Just like you, I am a monk who has stepped out of the safe zone."
Wu Bei: "Have you always been around?"
The middle-aged man was tall, with light yellow eyes, and a knife hanging from his waist. He stopped about twenty steps away from Wu Bei and said, "My name is Ishi Nagano."
Wu Bei: "Did you just talk about how I felt when I killed the monster?"
Middle-aged man: "When these monsters are killed, an ancient rule will be triggered. Part of the monster's life and strength will be transferred back to the hunter."
Wu Bei's heart moved and he asked: "How much is one part?"
Ishi Nagano: "Everyone is different, and it has to do with personal understanding and cultivation. Like me, if you kill a monster, you can get a little more than half a percent of the power back."
Wu Bei: "Half percent? How much more?"
"It is said that some people can get more than 30% feedback, but I have never met such a talented person."
Wu Bei's heart moved. Based on the feedback given when the first monster died, he calculated that he got at least 60% of that monster's power!
"Is there any higher feedback?" he asked.
Shi Nagano shook his head: "It can't be too high. From what I know, more than 30% is already the highest."
Wu Bei: "You are outside the safe zone just to kill monsters and get feedback?"
Ishi Nagano: "My strength is limited, so I only dare to wander around the safe zone. There are usually low-level monsters here."
Wu Bei: "Continuously accumulating strength by killing monsters, no wonder you are very strong now."
Ishi Nagano smiled: "Accumulate strength? You will know later that part of the feedback power will dissipate every day. Generally speaking, it only takes about twenty days for the power in the body to dissipate."
Wu Bei frowned: "Only twenty days?"
Ishi Nagano: "Some people are faster, some are slower, but they are roughly the same. Therefore, we people must keep killing monsters to increase our strength until the power in our bodies reaches a balance, neither increasing nor decreasing. In the process, we must continue to kill monsters to increase our strength.
You can't stop. Once you stop, your strength will be reduced back to its original shape."
Wu Bei: "That's it. Thank you for your advice."
Ishi Nagano: "You're welcome. Those of us monks who work hard outside the safe zone are called 'monster hunters.' Monster hunters often cooperate and work together to kill monsters. This way, the success rate is higher and the survival rate is also higher."
Wu Bei: "I came out to collect some medicinal materials. Is Brother Shi familiar with this area?"
Ishi Nagano: "I have only recently arrived in this area. I don't know much about it, but I definitely know more than you. If you want to find medicinal materials, you have to go over there and enter a valley, where the most medicinal materials are found."
Wu Bei: "Thank you very much."
Ishi Nagano: "However, there are many monsters in the valley, and there may be level five or even level six monsters."
Hearing that there might be level six monsters, Wu Bei frowned slightly and said, "It seems I have to kill more monsters to increase my strength."
Ishi Nagano walked up to the wild boars, cut open their heads, and took out a gray bead, only the size of a mung bean. He said: "In addition to gaining strength by killing monsters, you can also collect this 'primordial core'. Like
This gray yuan core is hard currency and can be used directly as money."
Wu Bei: "How many gold coins can such a Yuan Core be exchanged for?"
Shi Nagano said with a smile: "At least three thousand gold coins. A bigger one can be exchanged for tens of thousands of gold coins."
He further said: "This is the gray core, and above it there are white core, blue core, purple core, and gold core. With the same size, the value of the white core is five times that of the gray core; the blue core is five times the value of the white core.
times, and so on."
Wu Bei's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out the gray cores from the other wolves and put them in his bag.
Shi Nagano: "I don't dare to go over there in the valley, so I advise you to be careful."
Wu Bei thanked him and said with a smile: "I still want to go see it."
Seeing his persistence, Shi Nagano immediately took the first step, while Wu Bei followed his instructions and walked towards the valley.
Along the way, he killed seven or eight more monsters, and by the time he arrived outside the valley, his strength had more than doubled.
Before arriving at the valley, he saw at a glance that there were medicinal materials everywhere in the valley, including some of the ones he needed!
His eyes lit up and he strode over. But as soon as he reached the valley, a white deer jumped out next to him. This deer was very strange, with gray-gold eyes, silver hooves, and a snow-white body. He was so tall.
More than five meters away, at this moment, he volleyed down and struck towards Wu Bei with a hoof.
This step actually had some martial arts connotations. Wu Bei seemed to have no way to dodge and could only take one blow from it.
Just when the deer's hooves were still half a meter away from Wu Bei, Wu Bei turned over in the air and sat on the deer's back.
