Experience points +2230.

Experience points +1855.

As waves of experience point notifications flooded in, Xiao Wen, who had been dozing by the tree trunk, opened his eyes. He was surprised to find his experience bar more than half full. Several Larva Warriors were now beside him, busy carrying items.

Among the equipment, Xiao Wen even spotted a green-grade item at level 10.

Usage Level: 10

Attack Power: 60-65

Accuracy: +1%

Description: A longsword once wielded by the swordsmaster Shuis, lost in the Nightmare Forest for unknown reasons.

"A level 10 green-grade item? My haul isn't too bad then."

Satisfied, he accepted the green-grade equipment along with several other items.

Suddenly, a fierce roar echoed from the distance, causing the surrounding leaves to tremble. Caught in the crossfire, even the Larva Warriors delivering equipment to Xiao Wen shrieked, dropped their items, and fled into the woods.

Xiao Wen frowned, understanding that the Insect Warriors had encountered a formidable enemy. He quickly stored the equipment in his backpack and followed.

In a relatively wide clearing some distance away, an Insect Warrior stood hunched on the ground, its claws covered in dark scabs. Around it stood three foxes, their bodies a deep, fiery red.

"A level twelve Elite monster, and three of them?"

Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes, taking in the stats of the Elite-tier Bewitching Foxes. He could easily guess why the Insect Warriors were struggling.

The foxes outnumbered them.

Moreover, they all possessed formidable attack power and mental impact.

This was precisely why the Insect Warriors were in such a tough fight.

"Gigi gigi!"

Its mouthparts constantly wriggled and opened, the Insect Warrior hunched like a cheetah hunting on the plains. Its gaze swept over the Elite-tier Bewitching Foxes before it lunged.

Its body flickered as it closed in on a Bewitching Fox directly in front of it. Raising its claws, it brought them down with a whoosh, stirring up a foul wind.

The Bewitching Fox in front paused as if stunned, unable to dodge the attack in time.

The Insect Warrior's claws struck, landing on its body and causing red damage numbers to float up.

Health -200.

The Elite-tier Bewitching Fox cried out in pain. However, instead of anger, a human-like smile appeared on its face.

"The Insect Warrior fell for the trap," Xiao Wen murmured, observing the scene.

As the Insect Warrior attacked the Bewitching Fox, the two remaining foxes on the sides began to condense balls of eerie green fire in their mouths, launching them at the Insect Warrior.

The Insect Warrior's expression changed drastically, and it began to chirp incessantly, trying to retreat. However, it was entangled by the Bewitching Fox in front, making any backward movement impossible.

Xiao Wen's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashing within them. In an instant, he raised his hand and drew a card.

A card appeared in his hand: the Trap Card [Attack Nullification]!

[Attack Nullification]·Trap Card

Duel Effect: Activate when an enemy monster attacks an allied monster. It nullifies that attack and ends the opponent's attack phase.

Summoning Effect: Absolute protection! This effect can be applied to one's own summoned creatures to negate one attack.

"This card couldn't have come at a better time."

Xiao Wen placed [Attack Nullification] into his Duel Disk. At the critical moment, a beam of light shot out, forming a shield that enveloped the Insect Warrior just as the Bewitching Foxes' flames were about to hit.

Bang!

Flames erupted, sparks flew, and waves of fire billowed, emitting a suffocating heat.

"Squeak!"

Amidst the fiery onslaught, a black figure emerged. The next moment, the Insect Warrior raised its sharp claws and, protected by a Trap Card, cleaved through the fire wave. Enraged, it charged towards the Bewitching Fox that had ambushed it earlier.

Xiao Wen could only shake his head helplessly at this. He stepped forward, his feet shifting on the ground, sometimes close, sometimes far, constantly changing his position, making it difficult for anyone to predict his next move.

He extended his five fingers, grabbing at the Bewitching Fox on the far right.

"Gugu..."

The Elite-tier Bewitching Fox looked up at the attacking Xiao Wen. A hint of anger flashed across its sharp face. It twisted its body, intending to sidestep Xiao Wen's attack.

"Trying to run? Can you escape?"

Xiao Wen sneered. He shifted his body slightly to the side by half a step. As he threw his punch, his forearm vibrated inward with his elbow bent. A strange pulling force on his fist, which was aimed at empty space, dragged the Bewitching Fox's retreating body, causing it to charge headlong into his fist.

This was none other than the Martial Skill Zhao Shengquan had used before.

The Elite-tier Bewitching Fox was pulled in by a force. Xiao Wen threw a punch, changing its trajectory mid-air and smashing it into its soft neck.

Defense Broken!

Critical Hit!

HP -1156!

Orange-red damage numbers floated above the Bewitching Fox's head, its HP suddenly dropping significantly.

Seeing this damage, Xiao Wen's expression remained calm, neither happy nor sad, as if all of this was within his expectations.

His punch had targeted the Bewitching Fox's vulnerable neck, achieving a defense-breaking effect that ignored its defense. Furthermore, the critical hit doubled his attack power.

However, even excluding these factors, Xiao Wen's attack power, boosted by the Ring of Mountain's Might, reached a formidable 578.

If only Yang Lu and the other Archers, who were the main damage dealers, hadn't seen this. Otherwise, just witnessing Xiao Wen's terrifying damage output, who knew if they would feel inferior?

Having landed a successful blow, Xiao Wen pressed his advantage, continuing his assault. Each punch landed on the Bewitching Fox's weak points. He didn't aim to trigger a critical hit every time, but the chance of breaking through its defense was a hundred percent.

This was something that seemed almost impossible to achieve for ordinary people, but for Xiao Wen, it was effortless.

Or rather, it was effortless for any player above King-tier!

Punch after punch, it wasn't long before the Bewitching Fox's HP dropped to only three hundred.

At this moment, Xiao Wen threw a punch towards its lower abdomen. The Bewitching Fox's expression changed drastically. A red light flashed in its eyes. Xiao Wen's body faltered, and the fist that was aimed at its abdomen landed on its back instead.

HP -1.

A faint damage number appeared, followed by a gust of foul wind that startled Xiao Wen. Just before the opponent's claws reached him, Xiao Wen slid to the side, evading the attack. His expression suddenly turned somewhat grim.

"Charm!"

In that instant, Xiao Wen understood. He had been affected by its Charm skill, which was why his punch had gone astray.

However, using Charm was not without its cost for the Bewitching Fox. After activating the Charm skill, its remaining HP of only three hundred was now reduced to one hundred and fifty.

Ding!

A soft chime sounded, and the Millennium Puzzle hanging on Xiao Wen's chest emitted a glow.

"Detected a sealable monster spirit. Do you wish to seal it into a Card?"
