Insufficient balance

  Evil Wolf Leader: Category: Beast, Level: 5, Grade: Three-Star Elite, HP: 1250. The leader of the evil wolf pack, with a larger body and stronger biting force than ordinary evil wolves, has a violent temperament and will actively attack all alien creatures that approach it, but is arrogant and unwilling to rely on its companions' strength.

  One-star elites are generally stronger than ordinary monsters, two-star ones are usually bosses, and three-star ones are leaders. Only above that are the true BOSS leaders.

  Ling Chen, who was originally prepared to leave, stopped after seeing the last sentence of the introduction of the evil wolf leader and walked towards the evil wolf leader. Although this was a three-star elite that tempted people, Ling Chen had not intended to kill it now, because it was already close to his usual dinner time with Shui Ruo. If he attacked it now, one howl would summon a large group of evil wolves around him, and in the entanglement of the wolf pack, he didn't know how much time it would take to kill it, fearing that Shui Ruo would be starving by then. But... if there was only one, the situation would be very different.

  As soon as he stepped into the range of the wolf king's hatred, a pair of terrifying wolf eyes locked onto him, and with a loud howl, the wolf king charged over. It not only had an enormous body, but its movement speed also slightly exceeded that of ordinary wolves.

  A massive oppressive force was approaching, if he were to be attacked by this 5-star elite with triple attributes, even with the Red Blood Fruit's additional 100 HP, at least a third of his life would be swept away. Ling Chen glanced at his and the Wolf King's position, then thoughtfully looked down at the ground, suddenly turned around and ran towards the cliff below.

  The leader of the evil wolves pursued the fleeing target relentlessly, its running speed gradually reaching its peak. Ling Chen's moving speed was not even comparable to that of an ordinary fierce beast, let alone the leader of the evil wolves. He was quickly caught up and before he knew it, the wolf was right behind him. Suddenly, he heard a loud roar from behind, and a massive wolf claw as big as his head came swiping towards his body with a chilling howl, its surface glinting with cold, piercing light.

  Splash!

  The whistling wind almost brushed against his face as Ling Chen dodged the wolf leader's attack with a swift and dangerous turn, his body also falling to the ground. The wolf leader, still maintaining its massive momentum from the rapid sprint, crashed to the ground, and in the instant its front paws landed, Ling Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light as he kicked out his right foot with great force while lying on his side, heavily stomping on the wolf leader's front paw that had just landed.

  I...wiped!!

  This kick was like kicking a steel plate, and Ling Chen's face contorted in pain. Although this kick didn't pose much threat to the wolf leader, at most it would only make it feel a slight pain, but with the fastest speed running down the sloping road, making a pouncing motion while running, after landing, under the effect of inertia, it was impossible to stop in a short time, and at this moment if there was a resistance coming from the foot...

  Then... the front half of the wolf leader's body suddenly lost its balance and crashed to the ground. Since the cliff was sloping downwards, his body rolled down like a ball, bringing out loud and fierce wolf howls during the rolling process.

  Ling Chen quickly got up from the ground and rushed down the cliff. When the body of the fierce wolf that had rolled down the cliff finally stopped, a large number of small stars were circling above its head, apparently having fainted.

  Ling Chen sprinted down from the Evil Wolf Cliff, leaping and striking with a "Full Force Strike" that heavily chopped onto the dazed and unable-to-dodge Evil Wolf Leader.

  The defensive power of the leader of the evil wolves is not much higher than that of ordinary evil wolves. Ling Chen, who took advantage of the fire to loot, was casting "Full Force Strike" at the fastest speed, little by little reducing its life.

  Roar!!

  The wolf leader rose from its anger, sharp claws grasping towards Ling Chen. Ling Chen did not retreat but instead charged forward, sticking close to the trajectory of the wolf's claws and arriving at its front. One sword sliced across its neck before its claws attacked again, and with a crouched body, it borrowed the momentum to pass under the wolf's body, directly reaching its rear. Two consecutive strikes landed on its legs.

  The wolf leader, who had been continuously attacked, lost its target at this time. It turned its body in a roar of anger, but as it turned around, Ling Chen quickly moved his body and retreated to the back of the giant wolf again. Then, with the momentum, he made a "full-force strike" on its leg, bringing up a furious howl.

  The body of the wolf leader was very large, nearly four meters in length, not including its head. The wolf's body alone was over two meters high, but at this moment, its enormous body had become a shield for Ling Chen to hide his position. He could always accurately calculate the timing and appear from under the wolf's body or from either side of it just as it turned around, then strike out with a casual blow. Every time the wolf leader turned around, it would only pounce on empty air or catch a glimpse of a fleeting shadow that was about to disappear.

  The leader of the evil wolves howled with increasing anger, its movements becoming more and more violent. But no matter how fiercely it attacked, it was unable to touch Ling Chen's shadow. Most of Ling Chen's attacks on it were "MISS", causing very limited damage. However, in his ghostly movements, he was slowly whittling away at the evil wolf leader's life, reducing its life from full to half, and then to a quarter...

  Five minutes later, under a mournful wolf howl, the newly born Three Star Elite was emptied of life and fell down powerlessly. Until death, it didn't even touch Ling Xun's hem.

  "Ding... You successfully killed Three-Star Elite 'Evil Wolf Leader', Fame +15, Skill Potential Points +15."

  Five silver coins fell from the body of the Big Bad Wolf, next to which was a shoe that shone with a yellow light.

  Could it be bronze equipment? Ling Xun quickly picked it up.

  【Wolf Leather Boots】: Category: Battle Boots, Grade: Bronze, Equipment Requirements: Level 5 or above for any profession. Rough boots made from wolf leather. Attributes: Defense +8, Constitution +2, Agility +2.

  It's indeed Bronze equipment!

  This is the first bronze equipment that Ling Chen obtained in the Shén Yuè world. It's indeed a bronze equipment, and at level 5, it adds an extra four attribute points. Unfortunately, like the Steel Wristguard, it can only be equipped at level 5.

  This stingy Three Star Elite only exploded with this one piece of equipment. In addition, there were also a few Snow White Teeth that looked much larger than ordinary Wolf's Fangs.

  Razor-sharp Wolf Fang: A wolf fang from the leader of the evil wolves, as hard as fine steel and razor-sharp.

  The evil wolf leader burst out nine teeth and picked them all up. Ling Chen left the Evil Wolf Cliff and rushed towards the direction of Newbie Village.

  After returning to the village, Ling Chen rushed straight to the blacksmith's shop. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly saw that on the most dilapidated mud wall in front of him, a disheveled and dirty old man with a messy head of hair and beard was sitting there, his clothes tattered to the extreme, his hands clasped together in front of him, his head bowed, motionless and huddled in the corner. Even from such a distance, Ling Chen could faintly smell a foul odor emanating from him.

  Glancing at the old man beside that crumbling hut, Ling Chen thought silently... Was he the "madman" the village head said must not be approached?

  Similarly, the village chief should have said the same warning words to every player who has talked to him, but it does not mean that every player will listen to his words. On the contrary, there must be a reason for the strange occurrence, and the novice village will not arrange an NPC with no use at all. The more the village chief warns not to approach, the more some players want to try. It is very likely that this strange old man has a hidden task of reversing the sky level.

  Then...

  A player cautiously walked over, and as soon as he approached, his expression twisted slightly, apparently almost being dazed by the foul odor. He barely held back and went up to the old man with a flattering face, saying: "Hello, sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

  The old man seemed completely unaware, and didn't even bat an eyelid.

  "Hello sir, do you need any help?"

  The old man remained motionless, sitting there like a worn-out sculpture.

  "Otherwise, I'll help you back home, the sun outside is so poisonous, it's not good to be exposed for too long."

  “……”

  The old man still didn't react. The player gritted his teeth and actually went forward, trying to lift up the foul-smelling old man.

  "Get out!!!"

  The old man finally let out a hoarse roar, and the withered palm of his hand suddenly slapped on the player's body.

  Bang!!

  A loud crash, amidst the screams, that player was blown away like a withered leaf in a gust of wind, flying from the westernmost part of the village to the easternmost part. A damage number slowly faded into thin air.

  Ling Chen's eyes suddenly widened, his throat moved, and he took a sharp breath of cool air.

  If his brain hadn't played a trick on him or if there was nothing wrong with his eyes, the old man's casual slap had actually brought up... a five-digit damage number!!

  The players who were originally waiting on the sidelines to watch the show were all stunned, and some players were even shocked to sit on the ground with a pale face. Five-digit... No, to be precise, it was almost six digits of damage numbers, what kind of terrifying damage is this.

  The old man with a messy body withdrew his hand and sat there motionless, maintaining the previous action. The players who were watching here all unconsciously retreated their feet... No one dared to take another step closer.

  A few minutes later, a post from the mysterious old man of Newbie Village 49554 filled the pages of the "Divine Moon" International Forum's Huaxia section with a single slap that dealt 900,000 damage...
