After spending three hours in the depths of Wild Wolf Valley, Chen Mo reached Level 8.
Chen Mo added 4 points to strength and 1 point to agility for each level.
After reaching LV8, Chen Mo's Strength had reached 63 points. His total attack power was 66-67. Even if he used a normal attack from his crossbow, he would still be able to deal close to 70 points of damage to a LV7 wild wolf.
A wolf with 800 points of HP would be killed by Chen Mo in less than 20 seconds.
His speed of killing monsters had increased by a lot. After the Three-headed Flame Wolf had occupied Wild Wolf Valley, the number of wolves in Wild Wolf Valley had decreased by a lot. The surrounding wolves were not enough for Chen Mo to kill. Chen Mo slowly moved towards the areas with monsters.
Half an hour later, Chen Mo's footsteps suddenly stopped.
In the depths of Wild Wolf Valley, there was a dark cave!
Yesterday, he was one of the first players to level up in Wild Wolf Valley. At that time, there were not many players in Wild Wolf Valley and there were many more monsters than now. No one could go deep into Wild Wolf Valley. Later, when the Three-headed Flame Wolf appeared, all the players in Wild Wolf Valley died. Until now, no players had discovered this cave!
What could be inside this cave?
A treasure chest?
Chen Mo curiously killed his way in.
The monsters in the cave were still wolves, but they were no longer Level 7. There were also some Level 8 black wolves.
The cave was like a maze. Chen Mo continuously killed monsters in the cave for more than an hour. He was very close to reaching Level 9, but he still could not find any treasure chest.
Just when Chen Mo was about to give up and focus on leveling up, he suddenly noticed an old NPC in front of him.
This old NPC was obviously not simple. He was locked up in a prison surrounded by iron bars at the end of the cave. Although his hands were not locked, there was a huge chain around his left foot. Even if the iron door of the prison was opened, the old man would not be able to escape.
The old man originally had an indifferent expression, but the moment he saw Chen Mo, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Fallen!
Were you once a Fallen One? "the old man yelled.
Fallen ones?
Wasn't that the title he was wearing now?
I didn't expect this title to be so useful. Does this mean that the game designer deliberately designed the negative reputation with Bude?
"Yes, Mr. Gerritsen. Are you one too?" The old man's name was Gerritsen. Chen Mo was in urgent need of equipment, so he answered his question.
"Hmph!
I'm not a degenerate, I'm a villain!
A villain that was spurned by everyone!
But in fact, I didn't do anything. They wrongly accused me of being a villain and imprisoned me here! "Gleason roared angrily.
"Mr. Gerritsen, do you want me to let you go?" Chen Mo glanced at Gerritsen's cell.
However, Gerritsen shook his head, and his expression returned to normal. "It's useless. This prison is too strong. You can't break it.
However, if you have time, I do hope that you can collect some wolf meat for me. I haven't eaten meat in a long time. Those guys imprisoned me here and only sent me some dry food after a while so that I wouldn't die. I've been eating those things for more than ten years. I'm about to throw up.
Of course, I won't let you help me for free. As long as you can collect ten pieces of meat for me, I'll give you a bear trap. "
As Gerritsen spoke, he took out an iron clamp.
Low-level Bear Trap: A very strong iron clamp. Can be used on monsters below Level 20.
If a small monster is stepped on, it will be bound to the trap and unable to move for ten seconds. If a large monster is stepped on, its lower body will be severely injured and unable to use its original ability.
Recyclable. Each bear trap can be used three times. Current usage: 3/3.
Good stuff!
When Chen Mo saw this, he couldn't help but feel excited.
If he had a bear trap, he would have another way to deal with the Mutant Slime King!
"I'd love to, but Mr. Gerritsen, after I kill those wolves, how can I collect meat for you?"
In order to collect monster corpses, he had to leave the Novice Village and go to the three main cities to learn the corresponding sub-class skills.
"Very simple. I'll teach you," Gerritsen hurriedly said.
System Notification: Gerritsen wants to teach you a gathering skill. Do you accept?
Of course!
It would be strange if he didn't accept. This was a skill that could be learned earlier than others!
System Notification: You have learned "Suspicious Gathering"!
Suspicious Gathering: A gathering skill of unknown origin. Under normal circumstances, this skill will not be recognized by the Sub-Class Union.
F * ck!
What's going on?!
Could it be that in the game, skills were divided into orthodox and unorthodox?
Chen Mo had seen it for himself. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there was such a setting in the game.
"Mr. Gerritsen, this gathering skill …" Chen Mo wanted to clarify.
"What? Do you think that the gathering skill I taught you isn't useful?" Gerritsen glared at him.
"No, you've misunderstood." Chen Mo didn't want to fall out with Gerritsen before he got the trap.
"If you have nothing else to do, go and collect wolf meat. I can't wait!" Gerritsen didn't argue with Chen Mo. Instead, he urged him.
Chen Mo didn't waste any more time and turned to leave.
Soon, he encountered a wolf monster. After Chen Mo killed it, he used the gathering skill that Gerritsen taught him.
Perhaps it was because the gathering skill was unorthodox, but Chen Mo had a high chance of getting nothing when he collected the wolf's corpse. It took him almost three tries to collect a piece of wolf meat.
Moreover, this skill wasn't divided into levels or proficiency. It was completely different from the Basic Trap and Shock Trap that he had learned.
Soon, Chen Mo collected ten pieces of wolf meat. With the ten pieces in hand, Chen Mo went back to find Gerritsen.
"Hahaha, meat, meat!
Although it's just wolf meat, it's still delicious! "
Gerritsen took the ten pieces of wolf meat from Chen Mo and threw a trap to Chen Mo. He couldn't wait to throw the wolf meat into his mouth. Eating raw wolf meat directly, he really didn't know how long it had been since he tasted meat.
"Mr. Gerritsen, do you still need more wolf meat?" Looking at the trap, Chen Mo wanted to get a few more.
"Of course!
I still have a few traps with me. You can get more wolf meat.
Oh, I can't keep eating raw meat. I have to make a fire. "
Gerritsen's mind was completely focused on the wolf meat. After replying to Chen Mo, he ignored him.
Seeing that Gerritsen still had more, Chen Mo went to continue killing wolves and collecting wolf meat.
Half an hour later, Gerritsen's stomach was bulging, and he had a satisfied expression.
"Okay, little guy, I've given you all the traps. I don't have anything else to give you.
But if you still know how to be grateful, you can collect more wolf meat for me. I'll save some for later. Otherwise, who knows when I'll have meat to eat in the future. "
Chen Mo got a total of ten low-level traps from Gerritsen.
"Okay, I'll come find you later." Chen Mo nodded.
There were level eight black wolves in the cave. He planned to level up to level ten before leaving.
Although level eight wolves gave less experience than level ten Slime, there was no competition here. His leveling speed wouldn't be slower than killing Slime.
"Good guy, I didn't pick the wrong person. I'll wait for you. Don't let me wait too long." Gerritsen nodded approvingly.
However, an hour passed quickly, and Chen Mo still didn't show up. Gerritsen's expression became a little unhappy.
Two hours passed, and Chen Mo still didn't show up. Gerritsen's expression became angry.
"Damn it, bastards!
They're all bastards!
They're all liars! "Gerritsen couldn't help but roar.
Another hour passed, and Gerritsen's expression gradually returned to normal. He no longer expected anything from the adventurer.
But at this time, Chen Mo's figure emerged from the darkness.
"Kid, why did you come back? I don't want your meat anymore!" Gerritsen said coldly.
"You don't want it anymore?" Chen Mo was a little confused. Does this quest have a time limit?
"You don't want more than three hundred pieces of meat?" Chen Mo frowned. If he'd known, he wouldn't have wasted time collecting them.
The gathering skill that Gerritsen taught him didn't have a level or proficiency. Collecting multiple times wouldn't increase the skill level.
"Three hundred pieces?" Gerritsen was shocked. So many pieces? Did he misjudge the adventurer?
"Yes, do you want them?" Chen Mo nodded.
"Yes!
Of course, I want them all!
Haha, three hundred pieces, I don't know how long I can eat! "Gerritsen laughed.
Chen Mo nodded, took out all three hundred pieces of wolf meat from his backpack, and threw them to Gerritsen.
Ten pieces of wolf meat took up one space in his backpack, but three hundred pieces of wolf meat filled up Chen Mo's backpack. Chen Mo emptied his backpack and turned to leave.
He needed a lot of experience to advance from Level 9 to Level 10, and he was very close to leveling up.
"Kid, wait.
I think you're a good person, so I'll tell you something for free!
It has to do with the Three-headed Flame Wolf outside! "Gerritsen called out to Chen Mo.
