Chapter Five: Wolf Fang Dagger

  He made an emergency stop, Chu Rui's footsteps shook, his toes exerted force, and his body flipped sideways to avoid the high-speed charging elite gray wolf. The new wooden sword in his hand thrust forward fiercely, stabbing deeply into the elite gray wolf's body.

  No weaknesses, no critical hits.

  However, the Elite Gray Wolf did not expect Chu Xue to suddenly make such a move. Its speed was too fast and it couldn't brake in time, crazily sweeping past. That simple stab was due to its high-speed impact, causing the wooden sword to wreak havoc on its flesh. By the time the Elite Gray Wolf stopped moving, its body had already been torn open with a huge gash. Although this was a data-based game and there were no actual wounds, the damage caused was very real. A normal stab, but because it seized the opportunity, dealt 42 points of damage to the Elite Gray Wolf.

  "Uggghhh..."

  The grey wolf, with its head hung low, walked back and forth in front of Chu Rui on its powerful legs. Its ferocious mouth opened and closed, revealing razor-sharp fangs that dripped with saliva. A pair of bloodthirsty eyes stared intensely at him, letting out a series of low, mournful howls.

  Chu Rui's eyes narrowed, his pupils constricted, and he stared unwaveringly at the elite gray wolf. His entire aura converged together as he gripped the new wooden sword, fully focused on it.

  "Ahhh..."

  Unable to withstand Chu Rui's piercing gaze, the ferocious elite gray wolf, driven by the dull pain on its body, suddenly launched an attack.

  "Hmm!"

  A faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. At the same speed, this elite gray wolf actually dared to charge forward head-on, it was simply seeking death.

  Vitality of the wind!

  Without hesitation, launched the Wind of Agility, speed instantly became 10 times that of the Elite Gray Wolf!

  Rushing forward in a swift charge, at a distance of only 1 meter from the gray wolf, an abrupt stop was made, and with a fierce kick, it collided with the outstretched paw of the gray wolf.

  Two damage numbers rose from the heads of Elite Gray Wolf and Chu Rui respectively.

  The corners of his mouth slightly hooked, Chu Rui's foot exerted force and kicked to the right, and the elite gray wolf's paw was instantly kicked open, leaving an empty door wide open.

  His body pounced forward, and the new wooden sword in his hand stabbed fiercely into the throat of the elite gray wolf, hitting it right in the red heart!

  Weak point damage plus critical strike damage, instantly dealt a hundred damage to the elite gray wolf!

  It's not over yet!

  Chu Rui didn't care about the elite gray wolf's howls due to the stinging pain, and with a burst of strength in his hand, he spun around, the wooden sword wreaking havoc on its throat.

  Ducking down to avoid the gray wolf's swiping paw, Chu Rui swung his wooden sword with great force, sweeping it horizontally and cutting it out from the elite gray wolf's throat.

  …………

  Dealt another blow, killing more than 80 elite gray wolves and triggering a bleeding injury that causes it to lose 10 health points per second!

  Stab, sweep, dot, cut, wipe!

  Taking advantage of the elite gray wolf's injury, Chu Rui quickly and mercilessly slaughtered it under the limited effect of Lingdong Wind.

  In just 1 minute, although most of it was spent wandering around, the already crippled elite gray wolf still managed to land a few hits on its weak points, causing its health to plummet to two digits.

  It's over!

  The effect of the Wind of Agility disappeared, and Chu Rui's speed returned to the starting line with the gray wolf. He stopped in his tracks, his body pounced instantly, ignoring the sharp claws of the elite gray wolf, and the new wooden sword in his hand stabbed fiercely into its right eye.

  Two damage numbers rose from the heads of Chu Rui and Elite Grey Wolf.

  The yellow crit hit almost knocked Chu Rui's full HP to the bottom line, almost getting him killed in one shot. Unfortunately, it was still a bit short. Chu Rui's final blow directly cleared away the Elite Gray Wolf's life value. A mournful howl sounded, and the Elite Gray Wolf finally fell to the ground.

  "Hmm..."

  Rubbing his chest, which was aching in pain, Chu Rui panted heavily and sat down on the ground with a thud. He was already somewhat exhausted to begin with, and after fighting against the elite gray wolf, his body felt like it was going to fall apart. Fortunately, this damned wolf was only a low-level monster that could only use its high-speed charging attack; if it had used some cunning tactics, even with the help of the Wind of Agility, Chu Rui might not have been able to take it down so easily.

  However, hard work has finally paid off. Looking at the items that exploded next to the gray wolf's corpse, Chu Rui couldn't help but reveal a smile.

  Everything, down to a single copper coin, was packed into the backpack.

  First, he opened the attribute bar and added the two free attribute points that had been upgraded to level 5 to his strength. Looking at the 87% experience bar on the attribute panel, Chu Rui slightly curled up the corners of his mouth. Elite monsters were indeed different from ordinary ones, and just killing one had actually leveled him up a whole level.

  Open the backpack, first check the coins, get five silver coins, thirty-two copper coins, let Chu Rui happy, hit three hours of gray wolf only gave him three silver coins, did not expect a elite gray wolf actually gave him five more silver coins. Money is secondary, most importantly, this small BOSS, actually sent two pieces of equipment to Chu Rui, which is the most precious.

  Wolf's Fang Dagger: Green equipment, Attack 8-15! Requires level 5! Durability 13/20!

  Rending: Has a certain chance to cause continuous bleeding damage to enemies!

  Grey Wolf Boots: Common equipment, Defense 3, Speed +1! Requires level 3! Durability 8/10!

  Two pieces of equipment sent Chu Rui into a state of frenzied joy! Although the new wooden sword could be used as a dagger, it was still not as good as using a real dagger. But now, he had actually obtained a dagger, and it was even a colored piece of equipment, which made Chu Rui extremely excited. Moreover, in addition to the Wolf's Fang Dagger, the Elite Gray Wolf also generously gave him a pair of Gray Wolf Boots, with a defense increase of three points being decent, but that one point increase in speed made Chu Rui overjoyed. As someone who relied on speed to make a living, the faster he became, the more powerful his monster-killing abilities would be.

  One step at a time, every step is first!

  Zhu Rui deeply understands this truth!

  Even if there is only a tiny gap at first, people who seize opportunities will make this gap bigger and bigger.

  Although Chu Rui can't be said to be leading everyone now, the vast majority of people are absolutely no match for him. As long as he continues at this pace, Chu Rui will undoubtedly become one of the strongest players in the game. The world is big, and Chu Rui won't be arrogant thinking he's the best. Confidence is good, but excessive confidence becomes arrogance. Maybe he's not number one now, but he has ambition, and he'll work hard for it, with his own strength and talent, becoming number one is entirely possible!

  With a delightful exchange of dagger and shoes, attack, defense, and speed all rose instantly.

  Put the new wooden sword and shoes into the backpack. No choice, this thing can't be thrown away. Each player has fifty package spaces, which is more than enough for the current situation, and it won't happen that there's not enough package space.

  After tidying up his backpack, Chu Rui was astonished to find that there was still something in it.

  Grey Wolf Pelt: Common material, can be used for sewing common cloth armor!

  Wipe, unexpectedly there is still a piece of fur in the corner that was not seen. Although this thing can't be used to make colored equipment, taking it out to play with is at least better than novice clothes. Hehe! Now, I have weapons, clothes, and shoes, which is pretty good for a novice. As for gloves, belts, cloaks, accessories and the like, they are too far away!

  He looked up at the slightly inclined slope, Chu Rui thought for a moment and still chose to move forward. His current physical condition was not suitable for fighting against an elite monster, but he couldn't wait to try out his new equipment. If he encountered an elite monster, he could just retreat and it would be fine. He didn't believe that these damn elite monsters were infesting the entire mountain slope!

  After walking forward for a short while, I saw a gray wolf slightly wagging its tail and strolling leisurely. Upon closer inspection, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - it was just an ordinary gray wolf, thank goodness!

  He stroked the wolf-tooth dagger in his hand, and Chu Rui smiled slyly as he rushed over. Originally, with his full set of new equipment, he could easily take down the gray wolf. Now, with the addition of the wolf-tooth dagger and gray wolf boots, it was a piece of cake. A swift and deadly slash to the throat, followed by an elegant and effortless stab to the brain, one from the front and one from the back, pierced the gray wolf's neck in two places. Two weak point hits plus critical hit damage, the gray wolf didn't even have time to let out a cry before being KO'd!

  It's just an ordinary gray wolf, and for Chu Rui, it doesn't pose any pressure at all. Taking a glance at the experience bar that was approaching 90% of level 5, he thought for a moment before deciding to continue killing monsters, and leveling up to 6 wouldn't be late even if he returned to town then.

  On the mountain slope all the way up, rampaged for nearly 2 hours, experience bar reached 99%!

  Unconsciously, he had already arrived at the top of the mountain slope. He took a glance around and didn't see any gray wolves, not even a single wolf hair. Chu Rui was helpless, this damn thing had been dug up, and yet it hadn't worked out at 99%?

  Chu Rui, who was preparing to go down the mountain and return to the city, inadvertently glanced forward and was shocked to discover that there was a mountain at the edge of the slope, with a forest below that was neither sparse nor dense.

  Driven by curiosity, Chu Rui gritted his teeth and chose to move forward once again.

  As he walked into the forest, Chu Rui felt a hint of heaviness in the surrounding environment. Perhaps others couldn't sense it, but as the King of Assassins, he was all too familiar with these signs.

  With the wolf-tooth dagger in hand, Chu Rui moved forward cautiously, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. If there was any movement, he would react immediately.

  Nervously walked for nearly five minutes, after crossing a low thicket, Chu Rui walked past a large stone and then quickly ran back.

  "Gulung..."

  He swallowed hard and quietly stuck his head out from behind the stone.

  In a clearing at the foot of the mountain, a majestic giant wolf was lying down. Not far from it, three smaller wolves were lying in different directions, as if guarding the giant wolf.
