Chapter Eighteen: Murderous Intent

  The orc overseer generously gave me 2 gold coins, which is enough for me to buy a hundred bottles of low-grade red potion. And that piece of equipment I just picked up, I'm excited but also a little regretful.

  Holding it in hand, a sense of weightiness, touching it, hard and unyielding. Without a doubt, this is metal equipment, and its quality and attributes are all top-notch——

  Black Hills Greaves

  Rank: Bronze

  Equipment Type: Metal Armor

  Level: 15

  Basic Attributes:

  Physical Defense +130

  Magic Defense +30

  Additional points:

  Strength + 10

  Agility +5

  Constitution +10

  Seal of Solomon: 1

  ……

  It's said that the defense added by this greave is really a lot, it's only 5 points less than my jacket and greave combined, and its grade is the same as theirs! Moreover, the additional point numbers for strength and physique are obviously higher than those of leather armor! This can explain why warrior players are so resistant.

  Alas, if only I could equip metal armor, then I would be a powerful and thick-skinned thief. Small monsters wouldn't be able to kill me, and my attacks would deal fatal damage. The only ones who could pose a threat to me would be mages. But even if I couldn't beat the mages, no big deal, I'd just slip away and escape...

  Holding this leg guard, I YYed for a full half minute before reluctantly putting it into my backpack. Although I couldn't wear it myself, nothing could stop me from selling it off. Now on the market, not to mention bronze-grade metal armor, even white iron-grade trash was being snatched up by those rich warriors, this treasure wouldn't have any problem selling for a good price.

  But when I took a look at my buddy list, I couldn't help but feel down. I had forgotten that Du Lian Yu Yu was already offline.

  I changed my mind, it's better not to sell this thing to others. Can't just push the goods to them because they're a rich sister, right? Besides, their team is so big, can't I come up with some awesome equipment myself? "Holy War" isn't just about being the strongest, there are many other powerful people out there...

  So, without thinking much, taking advantage of the fact that no one has discovered this place yet, hurry up and empty it. The refresh time for elite monsters in "Holy War" is approximately 6-8 hours, and the explosion rate during the second refresh is only one-third of the first time, so the first push is very important.

  I quickly swept through the area, slowly clearing out block after block of potato fields. My killing speed also became faster and faster due to my familiarity with the work. When I killed my way to the fourth potato field, as a small monster fell to the ground, my experience bar suddenly reached its limit! As a golden light poured down on me, my level finally happily rose to 15! I immediately put on the Flame Cloak, and opened up my attribute table——

  Not ordinary

  Race: Human

  Occupation: Apprentice Thief

  Level: 15

  Blood volume: 1705

  Physical Attack: 1207~1292

  Physical Defense: 224

  Magic Defense: 219

  Critical Hit Rate: 1%

  Reputation value: 400

  Lucky value: 0

  ……

  With the addition of 10 points of power to the Windbreaker, this is equivalent to me getting two levels worth of points for free. Adding the 5 points given by the system after leveling up, and multiplying it by the base number 11, my attack power has increased by a whole 165 points, which is no small boost.

  And after upgrading, my monster-killing speed has also become faster. Clearing all the monsters in a potato field now takes only 8 minutes on average.

  However, the Gnoll Overseer wasn't always so generous. By the time I finished clearing out 15 plots of potato fields by 10:30 AM, only four pieces of Bronze equipment had dropped, and without exception, they were all Black Hill metal armor, none of which I could wear. Moreover, that wineskin seemed to be deliberately going against me, refusing to drop no matter how many times I killed it.

  However, experience has been growing wildly all along, and after clearing these 15 blocks of potato fields, my level has already reached 16.

  I took a glance ahead and was slightly disappointed to find that I had almost cleared the field, with only five or six blocks left.

  Taking advantage of the remaining medicine in the package and the durability of my equipment having only consumed two-thirds, I took a deep breath and swept away the remaining few monsters in the potato field.

  RP is infinite burst, six pieces of Tian Pao's set were brushed out, including two black hill metal armors, and five pieces of the set - chest armor, thigh armor, shoulder armor, gloves and shoes are all complete. As for the cloak, although it also belongs to armor, it is basically a luxury item, and the drop rate is not too high. Moreover, there was still one extra chest armor left over.

  But the resentment still continues, and the wine gourd has not fallen yet!

  However, when I looked up along the last corner of the potato field, I found that the stronghold of the Bruggers was not just a potato field. Along the mountain road, some low and small tents could be seen vaguely, and at this moment it was already dusk in the game time. The places with tents had already risen with wisps of smoke.

  My heart suddenly cleared up, and I clearly realized that the task props I needed were likely to be dropped by monsters near those tents on the mountain, and their quality would never be lower than that of half-orc foremen.

  With this idea, I went up the mountain slope and slowly reached the outside of the first tent group. This is composed of three small tents and a larger one, with a bonfire burning in the middle of the tent, a frame on the fire heap, and a string of potatoes on the frame. These potatoes were roasted by the hot fire, emitting an enticing aroma.

  My sense of smell is 100%, so that smell is extremely strong. I kind of feel like a pig, my stomach has started growling again, and when I looked at the clock, it's already past 11.

  Places like this with smoke rising from cooking are still seen in about seven or eight locations across the entire mountain.

  And the monsters in this place have also undergone great changes compared to those at the foot of the mountain. Three Bruggs scouts wearing worn-out leather armor were roasting potatoes around a fire pit, while from the large tent in the distance, a pair of enormous feet protruded, each one as wide as my palm, deep green and covered with black fur, likely belonging to an Orc.

  I took a glance at these three candidates and couldn't help but feel delighted. Their qualifications are truly impressive.

  Bruges Candidate

  Rank: Elite Monster

  Level: 19

  Blood Volume: 80,000

  Physical Attack: 440~480

  Physical Defense: 300

  Magic Defense: 300

  Skills: Linked Slash, Murderous Intent, Backstab

  ……

  Wow, it looks like an elite monster that drops epic armor, and I still have three pieces of white equipment on me!

  As for how to lure them out, it's not a problem, just use a bow and arrow to tie one of the kites downwind, run forward, and the other two will soon be pulled away by hatred and return to their original position.

  Since you've made up your mind, just take action directly.

  I drew out the Scout's Bow, nocked an arrow, and drew it back into an arc shape, shooting it without hesitation at the nearest Brugge skirmisher!

  All I heard was a "poof" sound, and this guy let out a miserable cry, and immediately rushed towards me in a rage! Moreover, as expected, his two companions also shouted and chased out!

  I ran up the mountain slope calmly and slowly, drawing my bow as I went to shoot it!

  Unfortunately, the second arrow missed. However, there is no need to worry as all online games have a common rule: as long as you keep attacking a certain monster, even if it crazily misses your skills, the hatred will not be lost.

  And by the time I shot my fifth arrow, the other two Mongol soldiers had given up their pursuit, turned around in dismay and ran back to their yurt, continuing to roast their potatoes in a daze.

  And I also put away my longbow at this moment and drew out my dagger to charge forward!

  The Brugge man was originally small in stature, and as a scout soldier, he was extremely agile and managed to cleverly dodge my backstab in the blink of an eye!

  I took a step back and swiftly counterattacked with my dagger, striking its chest repeatedly! For a moment, bloodlines flew everywhere, and two decent damage numbers popped up!

  "Critical hit! 1784 damage!"

  The Brugg immediately waved his dagger and changed color, I dodged left and right, but still couldn't dodge, and was hit twice in a row, losing over 400 points of blood. However, this kind of damage is still acceptable.

  I immediately swallowed the red medicine that was on the tip of my tongue and took advantage of the opportunity to dodge, sidestepping behind it!

  But what depressed me was that this little guy's reflection was extremely agile, and with a turn of his body, my dagger was depressingly stuck in his chest!

  “1109！”

  Damn it, this ambush is really uncomfortable, look at this hurtful and despicable thing!

  But what happened next made me break out in a cold sweat. The guy's body shook and a layer of crimson had already covered his entire body!

  "Ding!" System prompt: "Brugge's vanguard used the 【Killing Intent】 skill, increasing attack power by 40%, critical hit rate by 5%, and lasting for 10 seconds!"

  Before I could even react, a seemingly ordinary slash had already landed on my leg. My body suddenly felt a sharp pain and my health bar dropped by more than half in an instant!

  "Critical hit 1104!"

  It's time to go, if I don't run now, I'm afraid my life will be in danger!

  I fled in panic, like an arrow shot from a bowstring.

  At this time, I secretly congratulated myself on changing into the Flame Cloak, it was exactly this 0.2m/s speed bonus that allowed me and it to slowly pull open a distance!

  I drew out the Scout's Bow once more, and a rhino gazed at the moon as I shot an arrow!

  ……

  About a minute later, my blood was full, and I switched out the dagger and rushed over. But this time, our fight only lasted for ten seconds, and this guy actually activated his killing intent again! I had an epiphany, just as his body trembled for an instant, I reflexively ran away and switched out the longbow again!

  No way, this is the disadvantage of having poor equipment. If my physical defense can be stacked to 400, you see if I still run or not, I'll fight you to the death, you damn dog!

  However, despite this, the vanguard soldier still couldn't withstand my three-minute torment, its blood volume and physical defense were far inferior to those half-beasts in the potato field, and it was naturally killed much faster.

  But this elite soldier only dropped two gold coins and no equipment or quest items.

  I quickly pulled out the second and third ones, doing them one after another. These two were also extremely poor. However, I had an "A Q" spirit - anyway, there are many small packages on top, and elite monsters won't be scarce either.

  My gaze quickly locked onto the half-orc who was fast asleep in the large tent, but when I saw its attributes, I was completely stunned...

  I recommend Mu Rong's work "Super Holy Light", the old man updates quickly, not inferior to Snow Pepsi, good for fattening and better for slaughter. Classmates who are book-deserted can go take a look.
