Chapter 101: Bloodthirsty Spear
Chapter 101: Bloodthirsty Spear
When I came back to Wicked Wolf Peak, I was much more careful. I no longer dared to hold a weapon and while Ling Xue dragged a Sword Wolf over while laughing, she beat it a few times before ignoring it and going to find another wolf. That Sword Wolf with a sliver of health bit at the back of the beauty and I followed behind that Sword Wolf, brandishing my weak little fist at it!
With the howl from the wolf, this Sword Wolf fell and I reached level 12. But to be safe, I didn't add in my stat points and maintained the same amount of attack, as I kept grinding out more experience.
As my level increased, I gained less and less experience. It took me two wolves before I reached level 13 and I had to kill more than ten of them to reach level 14.
It was a good thing that Ling Xue was patient, not caring about her time as she helped me level, not taking a sliver of experience.
Finally, after an hour, I reached level 15 and I equipped the Golden Bow. I added all my stat points into strength and my stats greatly changed.

Level: 15
HP: 900
Attack: 175-240
Defense: 55

...
As expected, my attack at level fifteen already reached 240 and my defense was also much higher. It had to be known, I didn't have a single piece of armour right now, I was just wearing clothes without any defense at all!
Ling Xue saw my appearance and couldn't help saying with a smile, "Come over, I'll give you some equipment!"
After saying this, she opened the trade window and put five pieces of equipment in.

.
It was actually a set of Black Iron Equipment!
I was a bit surprised, "Ling Xue, where did you buy these things?"
Ling Xue said with a smile, "I commissioned them, there was a set of armour there. Although this is a Black Iron Set, I believe that you can level alone once you wear this set. Eh, for now I can only buy this much and now I won't have any spending money for the summer, so I'll have to look for you later"
I couldn't help feeling a bit emotional, but I didn't reveal anything. I just said with a smile, "There's no problem, I'll take care of Ling Xue's meals in the future.."
"But, my standards for meals are quite high~" Ling Xue said with a smile.
"It can't be..shark fin soup every meal, right?"
"No, you can't eat too much of that. It's fine to order something else each meal.."
"Oh, it's like this"
I secretly made a decision. I had to rush to level 40 and then grind out money at Hero Memorial Park, otherwise who could afford to feed this little beauty?
After receiving the equipment, I looked at the wolf pack in the distance. Now I could rely on the armour piercing arrow to kill the monsters, but it wasn't fast, so I should go get a quest.
At this time, I looked over and found that there was a familiar camp at the edge of the forest. It was where I had met a quest before!
So, I immediately ran over with Ling Xue and saw two hunters gathered around the stove.
After talking to them, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could still accept the quest!
One of the hunters said, "The Wicked Wolf Peak hasn't been peaceful lately and those damn Sword Wolves are heading into villages to attack villages. I've heard that three elite hunters came to Wicked Wolf Peak three months ago, but there has been no word from them since. Rumours say that there is a fierce Sword Wolf King in the depths of the Wicked Wolf Peak. Young man, are you brave enough to challenge the Sword Wolf King?"
"Ding~!"
System notification: Do you accept this quest?
I immediately clicked accept!
"Ding~!"
System notification: You accepted the quest [Sword Wolf King]! (Current quest difficulty: 540)
Quest content: Enter the Wicked Wolf Peak and kill the Sword Wolves, gather a hundred skinned pelts. Then enter the depths of the Wicked Wolf Peak and kill the Sword Wolf King. Bring back the head of the Sword Wolf King to the hunters!
...
It was the same quest, but the difficulty was different compared to before. Back then I accepted this quest when I was around level 20, but now I was only level 15, so it was much harder. But I knew that it wasn't much since I currently had the level 42 beautiful swordswoman with me, so this difficulty didn't even reach 10...
So Ling Xue and I headed into the depths of the Wicked Wolf Peak. It was much easier killing monsters this time. Ling Xue brought a bunch of wolves down to a sliver and then they only dealt one damage to Ling Xue each. I freely shot my armour piercing arrow and my fire arrow. It was much easier dealing with the Sword Wolves with high grade skills, so it only took two attacks to take care of each wolf and my experience quickly soared!
Leveling was quite boring, but it was a good thing there was an outstanding little beauty by my side. While talking, it already reached the middle of the night. When we finished sweeping the Sword Wolves in the Wicked Wolf Peak, Ling Xue suddenly said, "Ya! It's already one, I should probably go to sleep!"
I looked at my level 19, 86% not knowing whether to laugh or cry. I could only say, "Good fellow, it can't be that you're leaving me here alone, right?"
Ling Xue pursed her lips into a smile, "Then, I'll help you take care of the Sword Wolf King and finish the quest, then I'm really going to sleep. I never stayed up late and if I get panda eyes, it won't look good"
I nodded and pointed forward, "The Sword Wolf King is inside, let's go!"
"Un!"
This time, Ling Xue was in front and I was in the back. It wasn't that I was afraid, I just didn't have any equipment and was very weak, a single attack from the Sword Wolf King was enough to send me back to the city! With the Sword Wolf King's attack power, it wasn't enough to break through Ling Xue's Silver Strong Gale Set. So Ling Xue was definitely safe here and I was walking on a knife's edge, dying at any moment!
There was no choice, I could only endure for now. This Dragon Whisperer Job was definitely strong, as long as it had equipment and the strongest attacking spear. As long as I endure this time, the beautiful future was in front of me!
"Roar, roar!"
After some time, the Sword Wolf King and its four guards came out of the valley. The Sword Wolf King was still as arrogant as ever, looking down on everything around it!
It was very clear that the Sword Wolf King looked down on my the level 19 noob, but it actually looked down on Ling Xue, this level 42 high level swordswoman.
Ling Xue didn't hesitate at all as she directly went forward, slashing down the Sword Wolf guards. After killing them, she turned on the Sword Wolf King. The Light Flow Sword lit up and she pushed the Sword Wolf King back with her skills. In less than ten minutes, there was only a sliver left of the Sword Wolf King's HP!
"Fool, quickly!"
Ling Xue gave me a sweet smile and I couldn't help being surprised. I don't know when I changed from "little fool" to "fool", but this sounded much better because it was more intimate.
So I waited 30 seconds. When the Sword Wolf King's name turned from ash grey to red, I immediately sent out an ice arrow!
"1408!"
The four figure damage surprised me a bit, I was actually already this strong!
The Sword Wolf King gave an angry roar and immediately charged over, but I was happy to find that Ling Xue took a few steps forward and blocked it. Because the Sword Wolf King was hit by the ice arrow, its speed couldn't compare to before and like this, this boss couldn't move past Ling Xue. Ling Xue skillfully moved left and right, not letting the boss move a single step forward.
"Damn! Such beautiful blocking" I couldn't help secretly sighing. Ling Yue and Ling Xue, these two beauties were both smart. It might be their first time playing games, but they could have such outstanding results!
So I sent out an armour piercing arrow and an ice arrow. After a minute, the Sword Wolf King gave a pitiful howl as it fell down dead!
"Ding~!"
System notification: Congratulations, you have killed the boss Sword Wolf King. You have gained 120000 experience and 450 prestige!
...
With a golden glow, I reached level 21!
At the same time, I looked at the stuff the Sword Wolf King dropped and there were things other than gold coins!
Taking a step forward, I skinned it and took the wolf head quest item. At the same time, I found two pieces of equipment, a silver spear and a black cloak!
I was overjoyed, the heavens were helping me! Weren't these what I needed right now?
I immediately picked them up and put their stats into the chat after pulling Ling Xue into a party. First was the spear.
[Bloodthirsty Spear] (Silver Equipment)
Attack: 125-180
Strength: +15
Vitality: +12
Additional stat: Increases the user's attack by 3%
Required Level: 22
...
I couldn't help smiling, this was great! After I handed in my quest, I should be at around level 22 and could use this Silver Spear! Compared to the Golden Bow, my attack power would be increased quite a bit and there was an extra 3% increase in attack which was really rare!
Moreover, it was very strange but the item the boss dropped didn't need to be appraised. It was probably because of chance.
Ling Xue said with a smile, "Your luck really isn't bad~~"
I nodded before taking out that cloak.
[Dark Wood Cloak] (Bronze Equipment - Armour)
Defense: 45
Strength: +7
Required Level: 22
(Unidentified)
...
Although the defense wasn't too high, it would be increased after being appraised. At the same time, I was a bit sad about my Gold Cloak...
Ling Xue saw this and said with a chuckle, "Forget about the Shadow Cloak, you shouldn't be sad about what is lost, don't you think?"
I looked at the kind little beauty and couldn't help laughing, "Of course, I have something that is more worth treasuring, I should care about what is lost!"
Ling Xue was stunned, as if she understood what I meant. She just gave a laugh and stretched out her waist, resulting in her little waist making me stunned.
"I'm really going to sleep!"
Ling Xue shouted at me before saying, "What about you? Are you going to level or log off?"
I thought that sleeping together was good, but sleeping at the same time wasn't really anything special, so I said, "I just hit level zero today, I have to work hard. I have to level up all night while there aren't many people on. You and Ling Yue sleep first, just call me tomorrow for lunch!"
"Un, then I'm going to sleep!"
Ling Xue's beautiful figure gradually disappeared and I let out a sigh. I suddenly realized that there were countless messages in the communication device that I turned off!
Purple Rhyme had sent several dozen messages.
"Bookworm, are you alright?"
"Bookworm, why aren't you saying anything"
"Bookworm, quickly reply! I'm so worried!"
"Bookworm, you..you live in Suzhou, right? I'll come and find you right away!"
"Wu, wu, wu, wu, wu, Bookworm, why are you ignoring me"
...
I looked at my friends list and Purple Rhyme was already off. I was a bit moved, this girl Purple Rhyme was very caring, considerate, and kind, she really wasn't bad...
So I sent a reply, "Purple Rhyme, I'm very good. Sorry, I made you worry"
I hope that Purple Rhyme could see it when she logged on!
Next I sent messages to Dragon Soul, Ghost Fire, and the others.
Dragon Soul was very calm, "Brother! Don't give up, I can lead people to help you level! You can reach level 40 and change Jobs in just ten days!"
Heavenly Punisher said, "Bookworm! Quickly level up! We brothers will look for Fated Madman together, burn his family and hit his mom!"
Ghost Fire said, "You haven't been struck down and let us see a shameful The Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, right!"
...
Seeing these messages, I was very moved.
Yes, it was just reaching level zero and losing all my equipment, what did it count for? Life was like this, with great rises and great falls. If I couldn't recover from a setback, what kind of man was I? A real man would stand up even with a knife at their throat, who fears a little blood!
Of course, I didn't have that much pressure since my idea had always been, no matter how hard it was, I had to smile facing everything. I kept repeating to myself, you are the best, no one can beat you!
Right now, I was slowly rising and not to mention that I had the powerful Dragon Whisperer Hidden Job. My rise was unstoppable, I would make the entire Spirit of Grief continent shame under me!
Suddenly, I suddenly gave a shiver. I woke up since I had drank too much earlier so I needed to pee!
