Level 5

"Hurry! Heal me!"

Nan Feng gripped his wooden dagger, sprinting and shouting.

The Spiderlings behind him relentlessly pursued Nan Feng, who couldn't shake them off!

"Rapid Healing!"

Su Yihan murmured, expending her last bit of mana to heal Nan Feng.

Su Ziran: "Kite them."

The terrain here was open, no longer the narrow confines of the cave. They could fight and retreat, slowly whittling down the Spiderlings.

With the help of Su Ziran and the others, Nan Feng finally caught his breath.

He had led the little spiders on a wild goose chase, discovering they were relentless and impossible to shake off. The problem was, Nan Feng didn't dare venture into the forest, fearing other ferocious beasts and being caught in a pincer movement.

Left with no choice, Nan Feng circled in the open area, just as he saw Su Ziran and the others emerge from the cave. He quickly ran over for help.

"Healer, you're my goddess!" Nan Feng nodded his thanks to Su Yihan.

His health had dropped below 50, putting him in a dangerous situation.

But Su Yihan's heal revitalized Nan Feng, even allowing him to turn around and kill a few, snagging some experience.

Hearing the word "healer," Su Yihan's fair face flushed slightly. She spat, "Can you be a little more civilized? Call me Priest!"

"Okay, Healer."

Nan Feng chuckled and turned to kill the Spiderlings.

He needed to kill 21 more little spiders to reach level 5, and he couldn't let those other bastards steal his experience.

Whoosh!

Nan Feng quickly approached a Spiderling, slamming the wooden dagger down!

-371!

One-hit kill!

The wooden dagger had a 24-point Strength bonus, 4 points higher than the Desert Eagle, making it even more powerful.

The Spiderlings couldn't withstand a single shot from the Desert Eagle, let alone a strike from the wooden dagger.

The others were taken aback.

The Spiderlings' stats weren't high. Their defense and health were only considered mid-to-low among level 3 ferocious beasts.

Even Wu Yuansheng, the one with the highest attack power, had to trigger Weakness Strike to kill a Spiderling in one hit.

Nan Feng's attack power was too high!

Nan Feng didn't notice the others' expressions. He was focused on killing all the spiders and reaching level 5. He didn't have time to pay attention to anyone else.

After more than ten minutes, they finally wiped out the Spiderlings without losing too much health.

"Damn it, 28 experience points short... These damn thieves stole my experience!"

Nan Feng was annoyed, cursing inwardly.

Too bad, he was so close to level 5.

With the battle over, everyone slowly gathered.

The chubby Wu Li stood next to Nan Feng in a familiar manner, patting him on the shoulder. "Brother, thank you so much today."

Huang Yuanming also chimed in, "Yeah, we might not have been able to get out without you."

The others also thanked Nan Feng.

Everyone now knew that Nan Feng had drawn away a large number of Spiderlings, allowing them to escape from the cave.

In a way, Nan Feng was their savior.

Nan Feng waved his hand and said, "You're too kind. What are you talking about? We're all friends. It's just a life-saving favor, right? I can't possibly accept any reward."

"Uh..."

They looked at each other.

It seemed they hadn't even mentioned that.

Nan Feng licked his lips and continued, "Hey, what's there to feel bad about? It's just a life-saving favor, right? Of course, if you really insist on giving something, then 100 units of materials will do. Just a little something to show your appreciation."

Nan Feng deliberately emphasized 'life-saving favor' twice.

"Pfft..." Seeing Nan Feng perform a one-man show, Su Yihan covered her mouth and giggled.

Su Ziran said calmly, "100 units of materials for a life, I think that's fair."

"That's right, my brother Nan Feng is an honest man, he won't rip you off." Huang Yuanming had cooperated with Nan Feng a few times and stood up to support him. "Come on, brother, let's trade first!"

Huang Yuanming gave Nan Feng 100 units of materials in front of everyone.

Nan Feng 'reluctantly' accepted it.

Of course, Nan Feng didn't forget to send Huang Yuanming a private message.

(Private Message) Nan Feng: "Good brother, I'll return everything to you later."

(Private Message) Huang Yuanming: "Hehehe, happy cooperation. (Handshake)"

The two looked at each other, revealing a hint of conspiracy.

Afterward, the others also gave Nan Feng 100 units of materials each.

The people here were all top 20 experts on the leaderboard, and 100 units of materials really wasn't much to them.

The price Nan Feng offered was very reasonable.

After all, Nan Feng had risked his life to save them.

Soon, Nan Feng received 800 units of materials—this was the result of his labor this afternoon.

Nan Feng happily looked at the sky: "The sun is setting soon, and I still have more than an hour's walk home, so I'll leave first."

If he continued to stay here, Nan Feng was afraid that someone would become greedy and stab him a couple of times.

Although this possibility wasn't high—after all, everyone had just experienced a life-and-death test, and the character of these people was still good.

"I should go back too." Huang Yuanming looked at Nan Feng, "Brother, I'm going east, what about you?"

Nan Feng: "I'm going southeast, we can walk together for a while."

Xu Ming carried his large shield on his shoulder: "Then let's all retreat, and come back to explore this cave after a while."

Yun Fei: "Okay, let's make an appointment next time. Be careful not to get killed by ferocious beasts."

Wu Yuansheng: "What nonsense are you talking about? Old Xu, let's go."

Everyone wasn't one to dawdle, and they left as soon as they said they would, each returning to their own home.

Before parting, Nan Feng looked at Su Yihan with a grin: "Good healer, see you next time."

Su Yihan spat: "Scram."

"Hahaha, bye-bye."

Nan Feng waved his hand and set off on the road home with Huang Yuanming.

On the way, Huang Yuanming had a mischievous smile on his face: "Brother, what do you think of Su Yihan?"

Nan Feng recalled her voluptuous figure and commented, "Full of milk."

Huang Yuanming: "(⊙▽⊙) Your evaluation is really... spot on."

Nan Feng: "What are you thinking? I'm talking about her Rapid Healing skill, it's full of milk."

Huang Yuanming: "Me too."

The two walked east for a while and came to a stream.

Huang Yuanming could go home along this stream, while Nan Feng had to walk south for another half an hour or so.

Nan Feng looked at the stream, his eyes lighting up: "Brother Huang, can you get me two buckets of water tonight?"

Huang Yuanming was shocked: "Damn, how did you know I've been tinkering with wooden buckets recently?"

How would I know? I just said it casually... Nan Feng was speechless at Huang Yuanming's surprise.

"I was tinkering with wooden buckets last night, and they're already taking shape. I'll get you two buckets tonight." Huang Yuanming smiled, "Are you using them to make mana potions? Give me some when you do."

"Definitely."

The two chatted for a few more words, then parted ways.

After entering the forest, Nan Feng became cautious. There were many ferocious beasts in the forest, and most of them were old schemers, making it difficult to guard against them.

Nan Feng's mana was less than 20 points, and his health was only over 100, which wasn't healthy.

Fortunately, Nan Feng had good luck tonight. He didn't encounter any high-level ferocious beasts on the way back. Occasionally, one or two level 1 or level 2 ferocious beasts blocked his path, but they were easily killed by Nan Feng.

[Ding! You killed a level 2 ferocious beast [Giant Squirrel], gaining 7 experience points]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully reached level 5!]

[Ding! The Chosen One Nan Feng in this area is the first to reach level 5, gaining +1 reputation!]

[Ding! It has been detected that a Chosen One in this area has reached level 5. The cross-regional Chat Channel is now open to all Chosen Ones in this area!]

Nan Feng was stunned.

"Another new feature has been unlocked?"
