Chapter 23: Trial?

  "Brother, do you know that there's a classmate in my class who is incredibly powerful? He's the highest level in our class and has actually reached level 7. It's said that even the strongest person in the entire Evil Alliance is only at level 7." Xiaoyu excitedly told Xiao Yu while they were eating.

  Seeing the worshipful expression in Xiao Yu's eyes, Xiao Yu thought of when she was a child, she always looked at him with this kind of gaze. For some reason, Xiao Yu felt a sour feeling in his heart, his position had been severely challenged, and he ate a few mouthfuls of rice.

  "Brother, why are you eating so fast? By the way, are you also in the Evil Alliance? What level are you?" Xiaoyu pushed Xiao Yu and looked at him with bright eyes.

  "Hmph, I may not be as highly ranked as him, but I'm absolutely more formidable than your brother." Xiao Yu said with a flick of his chopsticks and a curl of his lip.

  Xiao Yu's eyes revealed a sly smile as she laughed and said: "You're bragging, thick-skinned brother."

  "I wasn't bragging, if I met him, I would definitely knock him down. I'm done eating, you wash the dishes today." Xiao Yu said with a huff, putting down his chopsticks and walking towards the bed.

  Xiao Yu made a face behind Xiao Yu's back, and her heart felt sweet. She thought Xiao Yu's sulky look was especially cute.

  "Don't make faces behind me again."

  "How did you know?" Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and giggled.

  Xiao Yu re-entered the game, looked up at the sky and saw that it was gradually getting brighter. He went to the NPC shop again to buy some bread for the road ahead, then headed north towards Tabak Town.

  The equipment on my body is quite good at the current level, and several skills have also been upgraded by two levels. With the special nature of my thief profession, it shouldn't be difficult to collect herbs in a place like Ghost Valley, which is a level 10 monster area.

  "This thief leader Ode doesn't even know what he's getting himself into." Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled, the task he had taken on seemed more like a test, and he estimated that the second task would be the most crucial one.

  As the level was lower, the task completion rate was higher, Xiao Yu didn't go to other places to upgrade either. He headed north all the way, passing through one low-level monster zone after another, crossing many sandy areas, and finally arrived at the entrance of a canyon. The entrance of this canyon was extremely narrow, looking into the canyon, it was dark and windy inside, with cold gusts blowing from time to time, making people's hair stand on end.

  Go inside to find Snake Fennel, no need to touch monsters, Xiao Yu Chao walks in.

  Just after walking a short distance inside, Xiao Yu discovered the first ghostly creature.

  There's only one, and there aren't any other monsters nearby, so taking it down shouldn't be too difficult. It'll also serve as a test of the strength of the monsters in Ghost Valley, which will make our mission later on more manageable. Xiao Yu thought for a moment before using his stealth skill to sneak up on it.

  Due to the large gap in their levels, Xiao Yu's stealth was relatively easy for it to detect, which made Xiao Yu even more cautious when sneaking.

  The ghost looked around and Xiao Yu hastily stopped in his tracks, standing still and not daring to move.

  The ghost didn't find anything and continued to wander around, Xiao Yu slowly approached, his movements extremely cautious.

  Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, Xiao Yu burst out, the dagger in his right hand drew out a cold light, and stabbed into the back of the ghost's head, knocking it unconscious with a sneak attack.

  The soul of the Lak people's village: tenth grade.

  Exterminate! Who knows where the weak point of this ghostly creature is? Xiao Yu's right hand dagger thrusts into the monster's back and slashes downwards fiercely, his left hand adds a few more attacks. Seeing that the ghost wants to turn around and attack him, his right hand makes a swift backstab without any hesitation, takes a step back, counterattacks with a reverse grip backstab, and lands behind the ghostly creature again, where his left hand adds a few more attacks.

  A string of damage values popped up from the head of this Lak tribe villager's soul, without any pause or stop, Xiao Yu's movements were as smooth as clouds and flowing water. At this moment, Xiao Yu finally felt that he had truly found the feeling of killing monsters, all his movements were done in one breath.

  Each skill was completed with high efficiency, and under Xiao Yu's ruthless attack, the tenth-level ghost monster was killed without any suspense.

  "It's much easier than I thought." Xiao Yu looked at his own blood volume, still full value, this level 10 monster is really nothing special. Xiao Yu picked up the more than sixty copper coins that had dropped on the ground.

  Because that ghostly creature didn't attack itself, Xiao Yu also didn't know how it attacked, Xiao Yu didn't dare to make a rash judgment, because monsters with weak defense and thin blood usually have high attacks.

  Xiao Yu gradually ventured deeper into the Ghost Valley, searching for any signs of the Snake Ginseng. If he encountered a lone level 10 ghostly creature, he would kill it without hesitation.

  Seeing the ghost's blood volume was still at 3%, Xiao Yu decided to test the ghost's attack, and with a swift movement, he dodged in front of the ghost. The ghost swung its claw at Xiao Yu's body.

  Blood loss of 36%, scared Xiao Yu greatly, didn't expect the ghost monster's attack to be so strong, he couldn't even withstand three attacks, Xiao Yu supplemented a forward thrust and knocked the ghost monster to the ground.

  The ghostly creature's attack is so strong that it's absolutely impossible to face two or more of them at the same time, Xiao Yu secretly remembered this in his heart.

  The terrain in the canyon is very complex, with strange rocks and steep cliffs on both sides, and the rocks protrude like ferocious beasts.

  In the canyon, Xiao Yu shuttled back and forth, searching everywhere for snake ginseng.

  From time to time, some dense white clouds floated over from the canyon, greatly reducing the surrounding visibility. Xiao Yu had no choice but to be even more careful in order to avoid encountering any sudden dangers.

  When they reached the middle section of the canyon, Xiao Yu discovered that the path ahead was completely blocked. The road ahead was very narrow, about five meters wide, but there were more than 20 ghosts nearby. If one of the ghost monsters moved, it would be surrounded by other ghost monsters.
