The spoils were not particularly plentiful. Split between the two of them, Soren received roughly thirty Gold Dalers. That was with only two people working together; in a five-person team, each person would get only around ten Gold Dalers. Wilderness Monsters did not gather in large clusters, and finding a Gnoll settlement took at least half a day, so wilderness adventuring basically reached its limit at the fourth tier. No matter how strong an Adventurer was, if they wanted a challenge, they would not choose the wilderness. They would head to the Underdark or enter the Abyssal hells directly.
After the battle, Soren gained 1,200 points of Slaughter Experience.
Not many of these Gnolls had advanced. Each one only gave around 200 Slaughter Experience. The Half-Elf Ranger before him had killed half, and he had killed the other half himself. Since the battle had not been difficult, Soren's skills had not improved much. He had only gained 1 point in Stealth, perhaps because he had successfully completed a one-hit Backstab. A Backstab was not just a random stab. It had to target the heart or another vital point, while ensuring sufficient explosive force. The instant a Backstab was unleashed, it had to be an all-out strike.
There was a saying: "Use seventy percent of your strength when throwing a punch," mainly to leave thirty percent in reserve so you could pull back. Normal slashes used seventy percent strength, but an explosive burst required one hundred and twenty percent. If a normal Warrior's "waist and stance as one" counted as one hundred percent force, then when Soren used Backstab, even his internal organs had to coordinate and exert force, unleashing one hundred and twenty percent of his body's strength. That was why he took a deep breath before bursting forth. Other
