Chapter 8: The Tree Monster Elite
Chapter 8: The Tree Monster Elite
"Heavenly Fire!"
Eight blades crazily gritted their teeth and stared at the heavenly fire on the precipice, roaring in anger.
Tian Huo shrugged his shoulders, "What's with calling me 'Daddy'? Do you need me to send you back to Newbie Village?"
Baqi's face changed, gritting his teeth, "Don't be smug, once we leave the newbie village, you'll regret everything you've done today!"
He smiled slightly and said with a hint of mockery: "Waiting for you!"
"Hmph!" The Eight Blades Lun let out a cold hum, his eyes fixed on the ring in Tian Huo's hand for a moment before turning around and leaving with the remaining people.
But Tian Huo also turned around and walked back the way he came, still short of more than 2,000 snake gallbladders to complete Yao Lao's task, which would be rewarded with bronze equipment.
"Three pieces of equipment, hopefully something good." Tian Huo opened the Wensheng Ring and looked at the three pieces of equipment lying inside, his heart filled with anticipation.
Qīng Líng Jiàn, Attribute: Unknown (Unidentified), Usage Requirement: Level 5.
Qīng Líng Yī, Attribute: Unknown (Unidentified), Usage Requirement: Level 5.
Green Spirit Greaves, Attribute: Unknown (Unidentified), Usage Requirement: Level 5.
Tianhuo's eyes lit up, the equipment that needed to be appraised was definitely above bronze level. He had known all along that the first time a boss was killed would drop good stuff, but Tianhuo hadn't expected it to be this much - at least three pieces of equipment, all of which were at least bronze level.
But it takes half an hour to get back to the village from here, and Tian Huo doesn't want to waste time. It's rare to come here, so let's just finish the task first.
Opening the task panel, the upgraded attributes unfolded before Tian Huo's eyes.

The sin value is -5, that's because the counterattack killed 5 people. The negative number represents good, if it were positive, it would be troublesome. In the setting of "Tianming World", killing one person maliciously gets a sin value of 10, and a sin value of 30 will turn into a light red name, which will be attacked by NPC guards.
"I... didn't misread it, did I? It takes over 1.8 million experience to level up to 7?" Tian Huo looked at the leveling experience in disbelief, his facial muscles twitching.
A level 5 ordinary monster with only 75 experience, how many monsters do I need to kill to level up!
"Tianhuo brothers, have you equipped yourself? If you don't need it, you can transfer it to me, and I will give you a satisfactory price." Just as Tianhuo was walking down the mountain slope, a middle-aged man named 'Hao Han' walked over.
Tian Huo was taken aback, a buyer had appeared so quickly? Looking at the middle-aged man, he saw that he too wore novice attire, but this novice attire couldn't conceal his extraordinary aura. Upon seeing this aura, Tian Huo understood that this person also came from a large clan.
Tian Huo didn't say a word when he saw him. The good fellow smiled and said, "Now the game is short of copper coins, I can directly give you Hua Xia coins."
Tian Huo snapped back to reality, but in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh. His own body had crossed over into the game, so what use was the Hua Xia currency?
Thinking of this, Tian Huo also smiled and said, "Alright, this equipment needs to be appraised. Let's wait for me to finish the appraisal before we take a look!"
It has not been identified yet, and Tian Huo doesn't know if he can use these three equipment. If he can use them, then of course they won't be sold.
The good fellow was slightly disappointed, but it was quickly covered up, and he smiled: "Alright, Tianhuo brothers, let's add a friend. In the future, no matter what equipment you want to sell, just look for me, I'll give you a satisfactory price."
Tian Huo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and added Hao Han as a friend.
"Feel free to contact me anytime, Tian Huo brothers. I won't disturb you anymore." The good fellow smiled and turned around to leave.
Tian Huo shook his head and looked at the eerie green snakes not far away, gritted his teeth and walked back into the monster crowd, "Bai..."
－210，－205……
It's daytime now, the attribute of Qingling Snake has dropped a bit, and its blood volume has decreased from 220 to 200. Tianhuo is getting cheaper, every word that comes out is another Qingling Snake falling down.
"Ding! System prompt: Wensheng's laziness has been activated, collecting 32 monster corpses and obtaining 30 snake gall."
"Ding! System notification: Wen Sheng's Sorrow has been activated, picking up 85 copper coins."
……
Tianhuo was strolling through the monster crowd, killing monsters as he went. Every now and then, players would stop to watch him. Before long, someone couldn't resist anymore. A delicate and charming young girl walked up to Tianhuo and softly asked, "Can you take me with you to level up?"
Tianhuo also discovered the girl, looking at her charming appearance and couldn't bear to refuse. Helplessly, he opened the team system, "In an hour at most, I'll have to leave here, and then I won't be able to take you with me."
At this moment, there are nearly 9,000 snake gallbladders. As long as we brush up to 10,000, Tianhuo will naturally go to the mountain to collect White Cloud Grass. I heard that it's an eighth-level monster area above, so of course, no one can be brought along.
The girl's face was filled with delight, nodding her head like a chick pecking at grain. "My name is Chuchu, nice to meet you, Tianhuo Ge."
Tian Huo smiled slightly, and with a glance, he could see the name on top of her head. Of course, he knew that she was called Chu Chu.
"Ding! Global News: Congratulations to player Yima for being the first to reach level 10, and receiving a rich reward."
……
Three consecutive global messages stunned everyone, Tian Huo looked at his own upgrade experience again, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. How could someone level up so quickly? He was already at level 10!
Opening the rankings, only one player named 'One Horse in Front' was seen alone on the level leaderboard, confirming that the system message was true.
The ranking list has been opened, but players can only enter the list after level 10. At this moment, there is only one person on the ranking list.
"Wow, that person leveled up so quickly! I'm only at level 4!" Chuchu covered her delicate mouth and said in surprise.
Tian Huo nodded, now he understood that in the game, no matter what first place it was, there would be a good reward. It seemed that the reward for being first in level couldn't be obtained by himself. "One hour is enough for you to reach level 6, do you know that person?"
Chu Chu shook her head, "I don't know him, but my sister should."
The sky fire coughed once, no longer asking questions, and continued to brush monsters. However, it seemed that after seeing the Sky Fire team members, several male and female players ran over from a distance, "Sky Fire, take us with you!"
Tian Huo was taken aback for a moment. Indeed, previously no one dared to speak up, but now with Chu Chu as an example, people started coming forward.
Two people team up, they can get 90% of the experience, but if it's a full team of six, then there's only 50%. Tianhuo looked at the 9210 snake gall in Wensheng's ring and coughed dryly, "Sorry, I'm about to leave."
It's just a matter of several hundred snake gallbladders, for Tian Huo, it's only a matter of ten or so minutes, he refused those people and didn't bother with them, continuing to wander among the monster groups, his mouth spewing out skills.
Chu Chu followed closely behind Tian Huo, her eyes shining with little stars, her gaze never leaving Tian Huo. After listening to a poem recited by Tian Huo, she became even more adoring.
"Tian Huo Ge, what's your occupation? You're actually using poetry to attack monsters, and I've never heard of this poem before." Chu Chu finally couldn't help but ask.
Tian Huo smiled and said, "If you've heard of it, that's strange. In this parallel world of the earth, there was no prosperous era of poetry and songs, so how could anyone know the poem they recited?"
But Tian Huo didn't say much more, just smiled faintly and said, "Consider it a hidden profession!"
The little chicken nodded its head like a chick pecking at rice, and followed the footsteps of Tianhuo again. It seemed that it didn't need to make a move, as all the monsters in the area where Tianhuo passed were instantly killed. Now Tianhuo was level 6, with an attack range of 30 meters.
Soon, the snake gall had reached tens of thousands, and unexpectedly, Chuchu's level soared from 4th to 6th. Under Chuchu's reluctant gaze, Tianhuo disbanded the team and called out as he headed up the mountain.
However, Tian Huo did not notice that at the moment he turned and left, Chu Chu's eyes revealed a playful color that was seriously inconsistent with before.
The fire walked on the winding path, winding its way up, carefully examining everything around it. However, after a few hours had passed, there was no sign of the White Cloud Grass, and instead, they had already arrived at the 8th level monster area.
With the current players' strength, no one dares to come here, it's surprisingly quiet.
After searching for a while again, he still couldn't find any trace of White Cloud Grass. Tian Huo couldn't help but feel puzzled - this White Cloud Mountain wasn't that big, and they had already searched almost the entire lower half of the mountain, yet they hadn't found any sign of White Cloud Grass.
Task: Village Head's White Cloud Wine
Task difficulty: D level
Task Reward: One-third of the White Cloud Wine brewed
Task Introduction: The village chief of 9527 Village wants to brew White Cloud Wine and has entrusted you to go to White Cloud Mountain to collect White Cloud Grass.
The task introduction only mentioned that the White Cloud Grass was on Mount White Cloud, but it didn't specify the exact location. After thinking for a moment, Tian Huo shifted his gaze to the mountain top. Since it wasn't below, it should be above!
However, to get up there, you have to go through the 8th level monster zone. All the way up, it's all dense and packed with tree monsters. But Tian Huo doesn't worry about that. In that case, let's just kill our way up!
Tree Monster: Level 8, HP 330, Attack 50, Defense 20.
An 8-level Tree Monster has twice the defense of a 5-level Green Snake, but the Heaven Fire's scroll attack is as high as 213-218, which can kill them with just two words.
"Hundred Battles..."
"Ding! System Prompt: Gained 144 experience."
"Ding! System Prompt: Gained 144 experience."
……
Within a 30-meter range, there were at least forty or fifty monsters, but Tian Huo could annihilate them with just two words, earning him six to seven thousand experience points. This monster-killing speed was absolutely unparalleled.
"Ding! System notification: Wen Sheng's Sorrow has been activated, picking up 150 copper coins."
Although the experience was high, Tian Huo Xin's heart was set on Bai Yun Cao and didn't linger here for long, clearing monsters all the way up.
Suddenly, a thick root burst out of the ground and slapped Tianhuo, who was caught off guard and didn't have time to react. He felt intense pain as a huge "-30" appeared on his head.
The heavenly fire hastily retreated, and all that could be seen was a tree monster twice as large as an ordinary one emerging from the earth.
Tree Monster Elite: Level 9, HP 3300, Attack 150, Defense 60.
Upon seeing the Tree Monster's attributes, Tian Huo's eyes lit up and his gaze was fixed tightly on the top of the monster's head. There, he saw a small sprout growing, resembling a white cloud!
