After unsealing, the breastplate added 25 points of defense, which is a great blessing for me with fragile skin. The dagger increased its attack power limit by 20 points, making my attack more explosive.
With a delightful feeling, I put on these two pieces of equipment and suddenly felt a tremor in my body. Upon taking another look at my attributes, I was thrilled again and again!

……
Attack power surged, dual defense surged, and life value soared. It seems that after adding three main point numbers to the equipment, the attribute enhancement for oneself is quite high.
I immediately turned off the glow of these two pieces of equipment, and with that, I looked like a newbie again. Being high-profile in doing things but low-key in being a person is absolutely right.
Continue running on the road, but after running for a while, I already felt the scorching heat spreading in the air. Looking ahead again, the ground was already a scorched earth, and some areas were still smoking.
The kind of antelope I'm looking for is scattered throughout this area, their entire body is burning with flames, a pair of eyes has been reflected red by the firelight, and they look a bit eerie.

……
My scalp is a bit numb, their attack power is enough to break through my defense, and their blood volume has also increased a lot. The only thing worth celebrating is that there is a white skull mark on the top of their heads, which means they are passive monsters, this kind of monster is the thief's favorite, because we can take the initiative.
I quickly came up behind a lone mountain goat and stabbed the dagger in my hand fiercely into its buttocks! This stab made the goat shudder, and scorching hot blood immediately spurted out of its body, dripping onto the ground with a hissing sound, instantly burning several already withered blades of grass into ashes!
“1995！”
Not bad, the back stab's attack power is still very strong!
The goat charged at me with its horns raised high, and I activated the dodge skill I had just learned. With a loud shout, I resisted the attack with brute force. Immediately after, I circled around it and slashed twice, cutting off another 1000 points of its health. As a thief, I was definitely not a profession that stood still - my mobility was extremely strong.
Because I was moving, the goat had no choice but to follow me, so its attack would inevitably slow down. I also took advantage of the momentum and dodged its second attack by walking sideways.
But at this moment, I have already put a blood bottle on my own mouth, ready to swallow it down at any time.
Soon, the fierce flame goat gave me this opportunity, two hind legs lifted violently, and ruthlessly collided with my body. I only felt that my body was like being hit by a flying sandbag, and I stumbled backward for three to five steps, and had a dazed feeling.
“248！”
Crashing skills, really quite ruthless.
Flaming Goat's justice is merciless, and it quickly charged towards me again. The two horns collided with my chest once more, causing my HP to drop by another 159 points!
I just got out of the stun effect and quickly ran away, switching to the Scout's Bow in a timely manner!
He quickly set up an arrow and ran away! Although I had 400 health potions, they were all bought with money, so I couldn't waste them like that.
But what I didn't expect was that just as I was about to fly a kite with it, I made a very strange mistake.
Just as I was relying on my bow and arrow to make a living, I inadvertently brought it near three mountain goats while putting it away. As a result, something unexpected happened - these three mountain goats actually ran towards me!
What the...! I've been possessed by a passive sync monster!
At that time, I spread my legs and ran! And the four of them chased after me relentlessly. As I ran frantically without choosing a path, it was as if I was pulling a train, and many goats that were closer to them were pulled into the "train" one by one!
Looking at the group of fanatical followers behind me, my heart is in my throat!
However, wild monsters have a characteristic that hatred is easy to shake off. After running for about 100 meters, my back was finally clear.
And this lesson also taught me how to deal with such monsters.
I've walked around this area and found a compromise point, then I forcibly killed the scattered goats in this area one by one. Although their attack power is not low, it's not too much trouble to kill one, at most I just need to use two bottles and dodge twice.
The Flame Mountain Goat is indeed very profitable, one can drop 3 to 5 silver coins, just enough to break even and not lose money. Moreover, their experience is also quite substantial, one goat's experience can increase my experience by about 1%.
However, despite being strengthened monsters, their drop rate is far from comparable to those of the strengthened monster bees. After clearing over a dozen of them, only two pieces of sheepskin dropped for the quest, and as for equipment, not even a single scrap was seen.
It took about 15 minutes to clear this area, and then I was very comfortable. Next, I started to clean up the fixed-point mobs around me. First, I ran over, stabbed them in the back with a burst of chrysanthemum, and then dodged without hesitation. I switched to my bow and arrow and pulled it here. Although the attack effect of the bow is quite erratic, the average damage can still float between 300-800. So I kept using the bow, shooting until the cooldown time for dodge was over, and then rushed over, dodged, and killed them with a finishing blow.
In this way, efficiency is not much slower, and my red medicine has saved a lot.
Time passed slowly as I brushed away monsters in the rain. When my task props reached 20, an hour had already passed. At this point, it was almost five o'clock, and my level had happily risen to 12.
I counted my gold coins, and now I have 17 of them. Although the speed of earning money is not fast, it's also not slow. As for equipment, I only got two pieces. One is a level 10 white iron metal helmet with attributes defense +40 and HP +50, which is quite good. I estimate that I can sell it for several gold coins when I return to the village. The other piece is a rusty axe, also level 10 white iron, but its attack power is actually not low, 45-98, which is 23 points higher than my dagger's basic attack. This is no wonder, as axes have slow attack speed; if their attack power were any lower, would anyone still practice Warrior or Dwarf?
Just thinking about it, my lewd heart has calmed down.
But what I didn't expect was that in the next hour, my gains began to become richer and richer. First, a metal greave dropped, followed by a robe upper garment, a lock plate armor pants, and even more surprisingly, after killing another mountain goat, there was a loud thud on the ground, and a green book actually dropped!
I picked it up and took a look, wow! It's really a rare thing——
"Qian Kun Strike": Deals 180% of current attack power to a single target with melee weapons, reducing hit rate by 20% when using this skill, with a certain chance to trigger maximum attack.
Release time: 0.5 seconds
Cooling time: 15 seconds.
Skill level: Lower grade.
Learning level: 10th grade
Limited occupations: Swordsman, Mercenary.
……
Although the attack power bonus of this skill seems to be less than my Backstab, the attack power of sword-type weapons and mercenaries' spears is much higher than that of daggers of the same level. In a PK of the same level, there is a chance to instantly kill fragile professions such as Mages, Archers, and Warlocks. Moreover, according to the "Holy War" data, the skill books dropped in the wild have skill levels that increase with the monster's level, so you can also save money on cultivating proficiency, which is really cost-effective.
I'm secretly pleased with this skill book, it should be able to sell for some money now.
But then I thought about it, this skill book might as well be given to Du Lian Qiu Yu. To be honest, he's been quite good to me, 20 gold coins is not a small amount, and he also promised 2000 yuan in cash. Giving him this book wouldn't be a loss.
So I directly opened my friend list, clicked on her name, copied the book's properties over and asked "Do you need this book?"
Unexpectedly, within five seconds, a team application has already been sent over!
"Ding Dong!" System Prompt: "Player Duxian Autumn Rain invites you to join her team!"
I directly clicked confirm.
All I saw was her alone in the team, with no one else around.
At this time, her level was already displayed on the team list - 15th level, one level higher than two hours ago!
Another look at her blood volume in the team column, I was struck by lightning - 2045!
She looked at me for half a day without speaking, and couldn't help but laugh, "What's wrong?"
"Are you full of blood points or something? How can your health be so high?"
"Don't be impolite, call me sister."
"Uh, it's my sister."
She smiled slightly, "Full power added, just got a few pieces of equipment, by the way where are you, I'll go find you!"
"It's no trouble, I'll head back to town."
"Shut up, you're only level 12, go practice some more, I'll come find you. Report your coordinates!" Du Lian Qiu Yu's words carried a somewhat warm and overbearing tone that made me feel a little...
"Oh, I'm in Villari village. Open the map and you can see my location, this side of Flame Valley."
"Ah, got it, wait for 10 minutes."
"Alright."
I took a glance at my backpack, and I've already collected 34 pieces of sheepskin, just one piece short of completing the task. I'm really looking forward to it, what surprise will Old Man Ilgner give me? Will he accidentally give me a growth-type divine artifact? That would be awesome!
However, I have to admit that at this time, there is no sign of a single antelope around me.
Then I continued walking forward.
But just as I walked to the front of a small volcano, I felt the soles of my feet getting even hotter, but what was even hotter than that was the frenzy in my eyes. On my left side, three players, two men and one woman, were being chased by a big guy!
