Chapter 8: Seizing the Monster

  Leaving the half-beast's location, Wu Chang walked towards a deeper place. Soon, strange creatures appeared before his eyes.

  "Orc Warrior: Level 10, HP 800, Strength 50, Defense 45. A strong orc with power surpassing that of ordinary orcs!" Wu Chang's eyes lit up as he gazed at the Orc Warrior before him. A level 10 monster - this was definitely going to be a rich experience. He wouldn't have any problem leveling up to 10 here.

  "With the attack and speed, I should be able to take them down now!" Wu Chang muttered to himself, now that he had the boots and dagger in hand, he really could give the half-beast warrior a run for his money.

  Suddenly, Wu Chang rushed towards a half-beast warrior, four points of agility didn't seem like much, but it also added quite a bit of movement speed. Agility can enhance the player's movement speed and attack speed to some extent, which is especially important for assassin players.

  "Ding!" A crisp sound rang out, Wu Chang's dagger directly struck the half-beast warrior's body, causing the half-beast to stumble, and its offensive slowed down for just a moment.

  At that moment, Wu Zong's dagger attacked again, striking the half-beastman's body, and another attack hit the half-beastman warrior. Then, Duan Chen burst out quickly, his dagger hitting the half-beastman warrior one after another. However, the half-beastman warrior didn't even touch Wu Chang's hair before being stunned by Wu Chang's continuous attacks.

  At this moment, Wu Chang quickly rushed towards the half-beast warrior, constantly striking him. Although Wu Chang's movements were not fast, he grasped the rhythm perfectly. Every time Wu Chang attacked, he managed to interrupt the half-beast warrior's attack, and under his constant assault, the half-beast warrior in front of him kept retreating.

  "Attack power is still too weak!" Wu Chang said in a low voice as he looked at the half-beast warrior, he was an assassin player who mainly focused on output, but he was still unable to quickly kill the half-beast warrior. The tenth-level half-beast warrior already had very strong defense.

  "Boom!" Along with the last impact directly hitting the face of the half-beast warrior in front, it was killed directly.

  "System Prompt: Killed Half-Orc Warrior, gained 500 experience points, player level up!" Along with the system prompt sound, Wu Chang's level rose again, and he was now at level 8.

  The half-beast warrior's drop rate has increased a lot and can now drop 20 copper coins, which is quite good nowadays.

  After that, Wu Chang killed the Orc Warrior here. The Orc Warrior had high defense and wasn't weak in attack either, but for Wu Chang, it was still manageable. In a short while, Wu Chang leveled up to level 10.

  But after upgrading to level 10, there are still few players in this area, after all, there are only a handful of people who can upgrade to level 10 nowadays.

  Just as Wu Chang was about to leave, a half-orc warrior in the distance caught his attention. This half-orc warrior was extremely tall, much taller than ordinary half-orc warriors, and even the axe in his hand had a cold glow.

  "Orc King: Level 10 Elite monster, HP 1600, Strength 80, Defense 75, leader of the Orc tribe, possessing even greater strength than the Orc Warrior!" As Wu Chang gazed at the Orc King before him, a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes.

  In the realm of Shentong, monsters are divided into many categories, including ordinary monsters, elite-level monsters, and BOSSes. Of course, BOSSes also have many varieties, but for now, only information about the most basic BOSS has been revealed, while the rest have not yet been exposed. It's clear that players of this level can't even touch them.

  "Elite-level monster, its strength is definitely not weak!" Wu Chang said aloud, and immediately charged towards the Half-Beast King. An elite-level Half-Beast King was absolutely a big BOSS at this time. Ordinary players didn't even dare to conflict with such a Half-Beast King. After all, an 80-point strength Half-Beast King could directly cut down even a level 10 warrior or knight to half their blood volume without armor.

  "Give it a try!" Wu Chang shouted, and immediately made a fierce dash towards the Half-Beast King, his dagger directly aimed at the king's throat, making a vicious thrust.

  Ambush skill is extremely useful, in an instant, Wu Chang rushed to the front of the Half-orc King, immediately afterwards, Wu Chang's dagger stabbed at the throat, causing 15 points of damage.

  "Defense is too high, hard to kill!" Wu Chang exclaimed at this scene. Now, the damage that Wu Chang burst out when hitting the half-beast warrior was over 30 points, but when he hit the half-beast king, only such a small amount of damage was burst out.

  "It's fine as long as we can break through his defense!" Wu Chang said in a low voice, looking at the half-beast king in front of him. As long as they could break through his defense, they would be able to take care of this guy.

  "Roar!" The half-beast king let out a loud roar and instantly charged at Wu Chang in front of him, his massive axe slashing fiercely towards Wu Chang. Seeing the axe bursting forth, Wu Chang's body suddenly retreated backwards, the axe barely grazing past Wu Chang's body, with only a tiny distance to spare before it would have struck Wu Chang.

  "Into the Microcosm!" Wu Chang gazed at the half-beast king in front of him and whispered: "Fortunately, I still remember a bit!"

  The attack methods of melee professions are diverse, and many players will also experience some unique tricks on their own. Among them, the most famous one is the "entry micro-state" this divine skill.

  Entering the microcosm is self-explanatory, it means being able to see clearly the subtle changes in one's opponent, and making predictions accordingly, judging whether the opponent's attack will hit oneself. And before losing his memory, Wu Chang had already practiced this technique to the highest level. At the peak of his powers, Wu Chang faced five assassins alone without being hit once, that was truly terrifying. However, the five years of blank time also caused Wu Chang's strength to decline somewhat.

  "It's just a memory! Although it's a bit rusty!" Wu Chang said, looking at the half-beast king in front of him, and then rushed towards the half-beast king again. The dagger burst out once more, fiercely stabbing into the body of the half-beast king in front of him, bursting out another damage value.

  Wu Chang quickly dodged to the side of the Minotaur King's body, narrowly avoiding its attack. At the same time, Wu Chang's burst skill had cooled down, and with a loud crash, he launched a fierce strike at the Minotaur King's face. His dagger struck directly, dealing another 30 points of damage to the Minotaur King's body.

  At this moment, Wu Chang was quickly dodging the Half-Orc King's attacks while continuously striking back at him. If this elite BOSS were a speed-type, Wu Chang wouldn't dare to fight like this. After all, the Half-Orc King wasn't fast, and as long as Wu Chang didn't make any mistakes with his footwork and positioning, he had no problems whatsoever.

  At this moment, under Wu Chang's constant attack, the Orc King's blood volume was no longer much, only 30% of his blood volume remained.

  "Haha, grab the BOSS! Quick!" Just then, an excited voice came from behind Wu Chang, also causing Wu Chang's face to sink slightly.

  At this moment, two figures rushed directly in front of Wu Chang, one of whom made Wu Chang's eyes turn cold, and that was Xu Li.

  "Looking for death without even checking who the opponent is!" Wu Chang's eyes sank slightly, and he coldly laughed out loud. Immediately after, he dodged to the side of the half-beast king, avoiding two assassins' attacks in a flash. At the same time, Wu Chang also avoided the half-beast king's attack.

  "Warrior on top!" Xu Li suddenly roared, at this moment, Xu Li's eyes were fixed on Wu Chang, coldly saying: "We'll hold him back, you guys hurry up and finish it!"

  "Settled?" Upon hearing this, Wu Chang's gaze swept over the three people above him, his eyes filled with a playful expression. Now, these guys' levels were only around seven, and it was impossible for seventh-level players to mutually confront the Half-Beast King. As long as they took two hits, they could be instantly killed.

  "Fog, go help!" Xu Li shouted to a mage. Before changing jobs, the mage's attacks were very single-minded, and only after changing jobs to become another type of mage could they possess the skills of this profession.

  "Charge!" At this moment, the knight had no mount and could only serve as a meat shield. Moreover, the primary skill of a novice knight was a holy shield that could be released to give himself or his teammates a boost in defense.

  The Knights of Tianyue, Wu Chang naturally knew that the knight's name was Tie Jia, a core member of Tianyue, and his strength was quite good. As for the others, Wu Chang didn't know much about them, only recognizing Xu Li, Wuyi, and Tie Jia.

  Wu Chang glanced around and didn't see Ye Yun, apparently Ye Yun hadn't followed them.

  "It's better that there aren't any, or else I'd be too embarrassed to make a move!" Wu Chang's eyes were filled with ferocity as he gazed at the people in front of him, his voice low and menacing. At the same time, a hint of a smile flickered across his face - if you knew Yan Wang, you would definitely recognize this as the expression he wore when he was about to make his move on someone. And these few people had already been marked for death by Yan Wang; from now on, every time they met, it would be a fight to the death.
