Chapter 19: Wolf Valley Training (Seeking Collection and Recommendation)

  "Thrust!" After thinking for a moment, Li Huan suddenly made a thrusting motion and charged towards one of the three wolf cubs. Li Huan's luck was not bad, and a dizziness symbol immediately appeared on the cub's head. Then, Li Huan did not dare to slow down, and instantly picked up his fine iron sword and struck the cub's head with two consecutive slashes.

  -15, -25, -32 Three damages suddenly appeared on the top of the little wolf's head, but soon the dizzy effect was lifted. The little wolf immediately let out a loud roar towards Li Hua, and then swung its paws to scratch at Li Hua's body. The other two small wolves also reacted in the first time, quickly scratching at Li Hua's body.

  -5, -8, -6, MISS! A string of damage flew out from Li Huan's head, fortunately his agility was high, and a dodge finally appeared. However, even so, Li Huan's health dropped by nearly 20 points, his HP shrinking by almost a quarter. Seeing his situation, Li Huan didn't dare to slack off, knowing this wasn't the time to be stunned. His top priority was to quickly take out one of the wolf pups, after all, the combined damage from three pups was still quite painful for him. Alone, one pup might not have been a problem, but three together were a different story altogether.

  "Damn it, go to hell!" Li Huan thought to himself, and the iron sword in his hand swiftly slashed at the legs of the three wolf cubs. He quickly escaped from the encirclement because he had thought that attacking the monster's legs would definitely affect their mobility, which was very advantageous for him. So, after losing 12 points of life, Li Huan finally managed to escape from the encirclement.

  Li Huan then launched a guerrilla warfare, running and killing at the same time. The first wolf cub soon fell under Li Huan's sword, leaving 35 experience points behind. Next, he set his sights on the remaining two wolf cubs, using the same tactics to take them down as well. However, Li Huan himself was also badly hurt, with only a little over one-third of his health left. This was probably Li Huan's most miserable moment yet.

  Facing the three wolf corpses, he used the gathering technique and only managed to gather a damaged wolf skin (two damaged wolf skins can be combined into one complete wolf skin) and over 60 copper coins. This made Li Huan feel instantly depressed, killing three young wolves yet only getting one damaged wolf skin, how long would it take to get 20 wolf skins? Fortunately, the money dropped was more than other monsters.

  But soon Li Huan thought that this might have something to do with the Young Wolf, after all, this task was an 8-level task, and the Young Wolf was only a 7-level small monster, so there was only damaged wolf skin on its body. I guess the complete wolf skin is only available on the 8-level wolf's body. After thinking about it, Li Huan also let go of his worries, and immediately he went to the side of the Hemostatic Grass that he had remembered not far from where he had just fought.

  "Ding! You've collected a 10-year-old Hemostatic Herb. Harvesting skill proficiency +2"

  "Ding! You've collected a 10-year-old Hemostatic Herb. Harvesting skill proficiency +2"

  ……

  One after another, the system prompt tone sounded for over a dozen times. Li Huan had unexpectedly collected 7 mid-grade hemostatic grasses all at once, plus nearly ten ordinary hemostatic grasses. Upon getting this result, Li Huan was also extremely excited. The grade of the hemostatic grass in this place turned out to be much higher than those in the Wild Dog Territory.

  "Aooo! ~" Just as Li Huan had just finished collecting this small piece of hemostatic grass, a shrill wolf howl suddenly came from his ear, and soon Li Huan discovered that a gray wolf with a gray-brown body, about the size of a small calf, was rushing towards him from afar.

  "Grey Wolf, Level 8, HP 180, MP 80, Physical Attack 67-72, Physical Defence 55-60"

  "Damn it, it's actually a level 8 gray wolf. It must have been attracted by the killing of the young wolf earlier. I reckon this should be one of the parents of those three young wolves from earlier. Luckily, only one came, otherwise, if there were a few more, I'd have to run for my life." Li Huan sighed inwardly after seeing the gray wolf's attributes. At present, Li Huan's HP had not yet recovered fully and was still at over 50 points. However, Li Huan estimated that he should be able to handle one gray wolf without too much trouble. If things really got tough, he still had a small bottle of golden potion and eight neutral potions on hand.

  "Pierce!" "-8" In an instant, Li Huan's figure flashed and appeared in front of the gray wolf. Then, a damage value appeared on the gray wolf's head, without any dizziness, which was also within Li Huan's expectations. Without any hesitation, the iron sword in his hand chopped at the gray wolf's leg with extreme sharpness, dealing -10 damage instantly. Immediately afterwards, Li Huan wanted to withdraw and retreat.

  "Ahhh!" The gray wolf let out a pained yelp, then quickly reached forward and slapped Li Huan's junior with its paw. "-9" damage suddenly appeared above Li Huan's head, "Ah~!" A tearing pain suddenly made Li Huan's junior feel like he was being burned by fire. Before entering the game, Li Huan had adjusted his pain sensation to the highest 20%, so when the gray wolf scratched him on the back, he also felt a great deal of pain.

  "It really hurts, I didn't think that just 20% would be so painful. Fortunately, my body is much stronger than before, but it's good this way, slowly getting used to it will be fine, and it's probably good for the body too. It seems like this game is also a great place to practice actual combat. En, I must make good use of it!" Li Huan thought to himself, then turned around and swung his sword at the gray wolf again.

  In this way, one person and one wolf came and went back and forth, fighting for more than a dozen rounds. In the end, Li Huan's skills were higher, and after paying the price of more than 30 points of life, the gray wolf finally left behind an intact wolf skin, more than 30 copper coins, and 40 experience points disappeared.

  "Wow, it seems that fighting against the gray wolf is still a bit difficult. Just one gray wolf has made me lose so much HP. If three of them were to attack together like before, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand it at all. At most, I can only fight against two gray wolves; otherwise, I'll have to rely on the Panacea. However, I should try to use as little Panacea as possible - that's a lifesaving item and shouldn't be wasted on killing these small monsters. I'll continue to kill the wolf pups for now, then find a lone gray wolf to slaughter. Once my level is higher, I can proceed further," Li Huan thought to himself.

  "It would be great if there was a priest behind us, then we wouldn't have to worry about the gray wolves at all, and could even take them down. Ah, never mind, let's talk about it later!" Suddenly, an idea popped into Li Huan's head, but he shook his head and dismissed it.

  Although Li Huan looks very strong now, he is still a person and sometimes it's still very difficult. After all, this is the early stage of the game, there isn't too much powerful equipment, so wanting to take on ten people at once is still quite unrealistic, unless you level up and have powerful equipment, then taking on ten people at once will no longer be a dream, and even taking on a hundred people won't be impossible. Thinking about this, Li Huan's determination to upgrade became even more resolute.

  Then Li Huan continued to search for lone wolf cubs and gray wolves on the outskirts of Wolf Valley, and also collected some lower-level hemostatic herbs and other low-level medicinal materials. As a result, Li Huan's experience was slowly accumulating, striving towards level 7.

  "Ding! You've discovered Intermediate Herb: Coagulant Grass, a key ingredient for making Hemostatic Powder."

  Just as Li Huan killed another gray wolf, the system prompt sounded in his ear, and he immediately looked towards a corner where several red medicinal herbs with small flowers were growing. Suddenly, an excited expression appeared on his face.

  Li Huan, who had just become an apprentice alchemist, knew that this was the main medicine for making Huixue San. Huixue San is also a restorative agent, but unlike Jinchuang Medicine, it doesn't recover HP continuously, instead, it directly replenishes it instantly, and its effect is much better than Jinchuang Medicine. This is something that can save lives. So Li Huan didn't hesitate to pick the Nengxuecao.

  "Ding, you have collected intermediate medicinal herb - Hemostatic Grass. Your gathering skill proficiency has increased by 2 points."

  ……

  Then there were several consecutive system prompt tones, and finally all the Congxuecao entered Li Huan's waist bag. Looking at his own harvest, Li Huan also felt a slight sense of accomplishment in his heart. Then Li Huan once again started his own leveling career.

  "Ding! Congratulations, you have leveled up to level 7 and obtained five free attribute points!"

  Almost an hour later, the long-awaited upgraded system prompt suddenly sounded, and Li Huan's level finally rose to 7 as he wished. After reassigning his attribute points, it's worth mentioning that when Li Huan killed the gray wolf, his luck burst out and he actually got a white thigh guard.

  "Wolf Greaves, White Equipment, Physical Defense 5-7, Magical Defense 2-3, Weight -1, Requires Level 7"

  (In-game equipment classification, general player equipment is divided into: helmet, armor, pants, shoulder guard, glove, leg guard, shoes, weapon, and special equipment such as mask, cloak, token, etc. In addition to these, there are also accessories, a player can wear: two rings, one pair of earrings, one necklace)

  Without hesitation, Li Huan immediately equipped the Grey Wolf Greaves, and his attributes instantly changed to HP 88, Physical Attack 69-76, Physical Defense 61-70, and Magical Defense 20-23. Now, Li Huan could face the wolf pups without any reservations, and he didn't need to hold back against the grey wolves either. Thus, Li Huan finally decided to venture into the Wolf Valley, as the outer areas were no longer suitable for him.

  Now Li Huan can basically take care of himself when facing 3 to 5 gray wolves, but if there are more, he might be in danger. So now Li Huan has also gained a foothold in the Wolf Valley, mainly because the rich medicinal herbs in the valley have deeply attracted him. Now Li Huan's backpack already has nearly 200 stalks of hemostatic grass, over 60 stalks of intermediate hemostatic grass, and dozens of other ordinary medicinal herbs, as well as over 30 stalks of coagulant grass.

  Li Huan deeply felt the benefits of the Purple Heart Jade Pendant. Without it, he wouldn't have been able to carry so many things. Not to mention whether they could be packed or not, just the weight alone was a very difficult problem to solve. It can be said that having the Purple Heart Jade Pendant greatly enhanced Li Huan's outdoor survival ability.
