Chapter 18: Vermilion Refining Little Snake (Seeking Collection Recommendations and Rewards)

  After browsing for more than half an hour, Li Huan suddenly shut down the computer after finding that there was not much information to browse. After all, the players' levels are too low now, so there aren't many useful things either. However, Li Huan didn't gain nothing at all, on the contrary, his gains were quite a lot. He discovered many useful things, mainly understanding some tasks that Li Huan had not accepted before, and some of these tasks had pretty high rewards.

  Afterwards, Li Huan lay down on the bed and put on his helmet. The next moment, he appeared in the game. The scene was still as lively as before, with people coming and going in a hurry, it was clear that at the beginning of the game, everyone had put all their energy into charging forward.

  Li Huan thought for a moment and then returned to the newbie village. He now had to go and receive several quests, because from the forum he already knew that some NPCs would have daily quests published, which all players could accept.

  Ten minutes later, Li Huan reappeared at the south entrance of the village. He had already received three tasks that were relatively suitable for him. One was from Tailor Zhang's mother to collect 20 snake skins and 20 wolf skins. The task for collecting snake skins was suitable for a level 5 player, while the task for collecting wolf skins usually required a player to be around level 8. However, Li Huan needed to upgrade anyway, and he also had an elite-level task from Medicine Cauldron to kill wolves, so he accepted it conveniently.

  Another task was to collect snake gall from pharmacist Li Shi Zhong, and coincidentally, the person with the snakeskin was there too. Li Huan accepted the task without hesitation and also spent 20 silver coins to buy 4 antidotes, as the old pharmacist had reminded him that snakes are poisonous and it would be a lot of trouble if he didn't take precautions against poisoning. As a result, Li Huan's assets suddenly shrunk greatly, leaving him with only over 80 silver coins.

  After making full preparations, Li Huan suddenly walked towards the outside of the village. Now, the territory of the little chicken has basically no more people than at the beginning, but instead, the crowd in the mother chicken's refresh area has increased, and the crowd in the rooster's refresh area has also increased a lot. After passing through the attack refresh area, Li Huan came to the wild dog's territory. When he arrived here, Li Huan found that there was no one here, it is clear that now 5-level wild dogs are not suitable for players to level up.

  After seeing this situation, Li Huan nodded in satisfaction, which was exactly what he wanted. He immediately changed the equipment on his body, and the attributes of his body suddenly underwent a drastic change. His attack power suddenly soared to 61-68, and his physical defense power reached 54-59. With these attributes, killing a level 5 wild dog would be ridiculously easy.

  Li Huan didn't hold back, and with a swift thrust, he charged in front of the wild dog. A damage value of -24 suddenly appeared on the wild dog's head, and a dizziness mark also appeared on its forehead. Li Huan knew that this was the dizzying effect of his thrust. Without hesitation, he swung two swords at the wild dog's head, dealing -50 and -45 damage values respectively. The wild dog disappeared into a white light, defeated.

  From start to finish, Li Huan killed the wild dog in less than 10 seconds, and the wild dog didn't even have time to react. He couldn't help but secretly admire the powerful effect of his skills and the sharpness of his Iron Sword's attack power. However, Li Huan also felt that killing this wild dog was no longer a great challenge, and he didn't gain much experience from it either. So, he immediately rushed towards the valley, killing monsters along the way as he hurried.

  "Red Wyrm Snake, Level 6, HP 120, MP 50, Physical Attack 55, Physical Defense 45"

  After more than ten minutes, Li Huan finally arrived at the territory of Chi Lian Xiao She, and the attributes of Chi Lian Xiao She also appeared in front of Li Huan. After seeing the attributes of Chi Lian Xiao She, Li Huan also discovered that after level 6, the abilities of monsters have improved to a certain extent, much stronger than level 5, even this Chi Lian Xiao She's attributes are more powerful than the weak Chicken King BOSS killed by Li Huan, except for its lower health value.

  But now Li Huan is also different from the past, with various attributes greatly improved compared to before, plus the protection of several pieces of equipment on his body, Li Huan's ability is no longer something that this small red snake can handle.

  "Pierce!" "-15" A damage suddenly appeared on the head of the Red Practice Snake, but unfortunately, no dizziness occurred. Through Li Huan's continuous testing, it was found that at level 1, Pierce would only cause dizziness about once every five times, with a relatively low probability. However, since it was only level 1, Li Huan believed that as the level increased, the skill's effect would definitely be greatly enhanced.

  "Hiss!" The little red snake, after being attacked, suddenly became furious, its entire rear half of the body arched up, and a fierce anger appeared in its eyes. Then, with a sudden burst of speed, it rapidly approached Li Huan's side and, without hesitation, bit down on his leg.

  "-5" A damage value suddenly appeared on Li Huan's body. Li Huan was also surprised by the speed of the Red Furnace Snake, he didn't expect its agility to be so strong. This Red Furnace Snake turned out to be an agile monster, fortunately, its attack power was still within his tolerance range.

  Without hesitation, he immediately began to counterattack. It is said that the strike was seven inches away, and Li Huan also wanted to test it out. Instantly, he raised his fine iron sword and attacked the seven-inch spot on the Red Furnace Snake's tail.

  Bang! -50 A huge crimson damage emerged from the head of the Red Furnace Snake, and the Red Furnace Snake also let out a pained shriek. It then frantically bit towards Li Huan's body. Seeing this, Li Huan's face lit up with joy, and he immediately began to attack continuously. However, Li Huan discovered that due to the Red Furnace Snake's high agility, it wasn't easy for him to land a hit on its weak point, the seven-inch spot. He could only manage to hit it once every three attacks. "-2, -3, -2" damages also kept emerging from Li Huan's head.

  "Ding! You were bitten by the Red Lotus Snake's venomous fang, you are now in a poisoned state, HP decreases by 2 points every second, lasting for 15 seconds" Li Huan's body also started emitting a green glow.

  "Damn it, it's actually a poisoning state. Fortunately, the effect isn't too abnormal, if I hold on, maybe the antidote can be saved!" Li Huan thought to himself, and immediately felt a surge of anger, and fiercely chopped at the Red Furnace Snake.

  "Ding, you killed a level 6 Crimson Refine Snake, exceeding by 1 level, experience increased by 5%, gained 30 experience points."

  "Ding! You have collected: 1 ordinary medicinal material - Snake Gall, 1 piece of snake skin, 5 copper coins. Proficiency increased by 2 points."

  After killing the Red Refining Snake, Li Huan used the Gathering Technique on the snake, instantly obtaining a snakeskin and a snake gall. He then sat down to recover, waiting for the poison effect to disappear before recovering some of his health.

  Li Huan then started killing continuously in the area of Chi Lian Xiao She, after gaining experience from the first time, Li Huan also became more cautious in his heart, to avoid being bitten by the snake. Subconsciously guarding against it, Li Huan's poisoning rate also decreased a lot, basically killing two snakes would only result in one poisoning. Therefore, Li Huan was also killing with great joy.

  "Ding! Congratulations, you have leveled up to level 6 and obtained 5 free attribute points!"

  When Li Huan killed a dozen or so, the sound of leveling up suddenly reached his ears, and he was overjoyed again. He immediately allocated the attribute points according to the previous ratio, and his HP instantly became 84 points. After going through the baptism of life, one point of physique would increase by 4 HP. His physical attack had also reached 65-72, and his physical defense was 54-61. Taking a look at the backpack, he still lacked a few snake gallbladders and snake skins. Li Huan prepared to take care of these before heading deeper into the mountain valley.

  More than ten minutes later, Li Huan finally completed the task, with 20 snake skins and 20 snake gallbladders in his backpack. He then headed inside, as reminded by the old pharmacist, further ahead should be the deepest part of the mountain valley, the territory of the wolf tribe, where 7-9 level wolves lived, and even the legendary 10-level wolf king.

  Wolves can be said to be the highest level of existence in the novice village, not only are their levels high, but their attributes are also much stronger than those of other monsters at the same level. Their attack power is very strong and most importantly, they all have very high agility, belonging to elite-level existences that are very difficult to deal with. The most important point is that wolves are basically all pack-dwelling, rarely alone, so if you want to kill a wolf, you'd better be prepared to be surrounded.

  "Cub Wolf, Level 7, HP 150, MP 80, Physical Attack 60-65, Physical Defense 50-55"

  Soon, Li Huan saw from a distance two strange creatures that were about the same size as wild dogs. After checking them out for a moment, he discovered their attributes and thought to himself, "Indeed, their attributes are very powerful. Except for freaks like me, it would be extremely difficult for anyone else to take them on one-on-one, let alone challenge them at a higher level."

  It can be said that the Wolf Valley in the depths of the mountain valley is a forbidden place for new players. The powerful attributes and terrifying numbers are not something that ordinary players can handle. Even the properties of a single wolf cub are so powerful, Li Huan dare not imagine how abnormal the rest of the wolf tribe will be.

  After coming here, Li Huan also had to be careful, as the saying goes, "a thousand ants can kill an elephant", let alone wolves. Moreover, Li Huan was not as strong as an elephant, so he was secretly cautious, lest he be surrounded and attacked at some point, in which case his chastity belt would probably really have to be surrendered here.

  However, Li Huan soon discovered that there were a few sprigs of hemostatic grass growing next to the three wolf cubs. Seeing this, Li Huan's eyes lit up. The old pharmacist had been attacked by wolves while collecting medicinal herbs in this place, which means that this place must have an abundance of medicinal herbs. Thinking about this, Li Huan became excited again. It just so happens that he can collect some medicinal herbs on the side, and after returning, he can refine some medicinal concoctions for his own daily use with the medicine cauldron. He can even sell some to outsiders, as long as it's cheaper than the pharmacy. He believes that business will definitely be booming.

  Thinking of this, Li Huan's mouth corners suddenly revealed a hint of a smile. Anyway, Li Huan was the child of a poor family, and he was naturally very excited about making money.

  However, in order to collect medicinal herbs, one must first ensure their own safety, so the surrounding pack of wolves would definitely need to be cleared out one by one. At this moment, Li Huan's gaze towards the young wolf also revealed a hint of murderous intent.
