Thirty-Sixth Chapter: Stepping Onto the Field Myself, Mountain Monster and White Wolf

37 apprentices, 3 experts. COM

The number of blacksmiths at the Blue Mountain Workshop doubled.

Although apprentice-level blacksmiths could only produce Fine Grade equipment at most, and it took a long time with a certain failure rate.

However, their efficiency in crafting normal equipment was still good.

While Baili and Cang Yun were not experts in archery.

It was still easy for them to craft a few sets of bows and arrows casually.

As for the newly promoted blacksmith, Mou Ping, who was an expert in archery, the bows and arrows he produced would at least match the quality of the materials used.

For example, the Rare Grade longbow in Huang Yu's hand.

[Thousand Silk Bow]

[Quality: Rare]

[Equipment Description: String snaps silently, full of elasticity. It requires less strength from the user than an Iron-Tire Bow, but the power of the fired arrows is only stronger, not weaker. The bowstring is made from the sinews of a Demonized Giant Lizard.]

[Passive Skill: Sharpshooter's Focus. Greatly reduces the difficulty of skills like Rapid Shot and Shock Arrow for archers!]

[Active Skill: Charged Snipe. Aim at the target, draw the bowstring to its limit, inject energy, and fire. The defense of equipment below Rare Grade is like nothing!]

The Thousand Silk Bow was a weapon that originally existed in the Chaos Mall. Its overall performance ranked in the middle tier, and its price in the Chaos Mall was 2300 Soul Crystals.

Huang Yu walked out of the Blue Mountain Workshop with the Thousand Silk Bow.

Dilios, wearing the Scale Fang Set and leading forty-four Spartan Warriors, stood still on the hillside.

As Dilios breathed, the Scale Fang Set occasionally emanated a dark red glow.

The roars of beasts continued from the dense forest outside the territory.

Faint figures of monsters darting around could be seen.

It was clear that the Beast Tide was slowly approaching the Huanyu Territory.

"Dilios, during the upcoming battle, no one is allowed to step out of the territory without my command, understand?"

Huang Yu also planned to take advantage of the protection period after the Beast Tide arrived to gain some experience and Soul Crystals.

And this time, he intended to fight personally.

His level had already reached LV9, and he was just one step away from LV10.

Judging from the strength of the monsters, the gap between LV9 and LV10 was definitely worlds apart.

So Huang Yu wanted to advance as soon as possible.

"Understood!"

Dilios replied in a deep voice.

Huang Yu nodded and said no more.

Before the battle began, he still had one thing to do.

The Steel Mill had already smelted over 400 units of Fine Iron.

Huang Yu's total amount of Fine Iron reached 1200 units.

He could now upgrade his Spark to Tier 3!

[Do you wish to upgrade the Spark to Tier 3?]

[Yes][No]

"Yes!"

1000 Soul Crystals, 10000 units of Wood, 5000 units of Stone, and 1000 units of Fine Iron disappeared.

A golden light, visible only to Huang Yu, spread outwards from the Castle as the center.

In just a few seconds, a hemispherical protective shield enveloped Huang Yu's territory.

Leaving the Spark to upgrade on its own.

Huang Yu led the Spartan Warriors down the slope and to the edge of the territory.

Under the red moonlight, the clawing branches looked particularly terrifying.

Like vengeful ghosts.

Grinning as they waited for prey to arrive.

The roars of the monsters had never stopped.

And they were getting closer and closer, seeming to have noticed Huang Yu and his group.

Boom, boom, boom!

Heavy footsteps approached rapidly.

Dilios moved, preparing to charge forward.

But upon seeing Huang Yu's figure, they forcefully stopped.

"Dilios, be patient!"

Huang Yu had already spotted the monster.

It was a humanoid creature, six meters tall, with two horns on its head and covered in yellow markings.

[Mountain Monster]

[Attribute: Earth]

[Level: LV32]

[Description: Mountain Monsters are solitary forest dwellers, darlings of the forest. From birth, they possess extraordinary strength and one of the four elemental abilities: Earth, Wind, Water, or Fire.

In dense forests, they are apex predators!]

Boom, boom, boom!

The Mountain Monster charging towards Huanyu Territory was like a humanoid tank.

With its immense strength, it savagely smashed through the trees blocking its path.

Its skin was gray, and the yellow markings on its body extended downwards from its horns, giving it a rather mysterious appearance.

LV32!

This was the highest-level monster Huang Yu had ever seen!

"Roar!"

With bloodshot eyes, the Mountain Monster leaped into the air midway, lunging at Huang Yu and the others who were ready for battle.

Bang!

But before it could get close, the Mountain Monster collided with something in mid-air.

"Attack!"

Huang Yu gave the order.

Dilios struck first.

The丛牙 (Cong Ya) in his hand erupted with a three-meter-long flame.

He swung a flame slash at the Mountain Monster, which was still airborne.

The scorching flame instantly reached the Mountain Monster.

However, the Mountain Monster was indeed a darling of the forest, a monster of LV32.

Although it couldn't dodge Dilios's attack, the Mountain Monster used its elemental abilities to prevent itself from being cleaved in two by the Flame Slash.

Bang!

It crossed its two thick arms in front of its chest.

The yellow markings all over the Mountain Monster's body immediately lit up.

Following that, a layer of stone armor appeared on its body's surface.

And its crossed arms instantly extended into a thick stone shield.

Boom—

The Flame Slash struck the stone shield extended from the Mountain Monster's arms.

It exploded with a roar.

Instantly, the stone shield was blasted into powder, revealing the Mountain Monster's bloody arms.

Pow!

The Mountain Monster landed on the ground, and large cracks appeared on the stone armor covering its entire body.

Pieces of stone detached from its body, falling to the ground and gradually disappearing.

"Aoo!"

Holding its injured arm, the Mountain Monster let out an angry roar at Dilios.

At the same time, the yellow markings on its body flickered continuously.

A surge of earth elemental energy flowed into its body from the ground.

The damage dealt by Dilios's Flame Slash was rapidly recovering!

Moreover, the armor on its body became even more condensed!

"A troublesome fellow!"

Huang Yu frowned.

Standing on the ground, this guy was practically an invincible existence.

However... the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

They took us for food, but other monsters were watching them too!

Pairs of scarlet eyes lit up behind the Mountain Monster.

As if sensing something, the Mountain Monster turned its head and let out a series of roars upon seeing the figures in the forest.

It seemed like a threat, or perhaps a provocation!

Rustle, rustle, rustle~

Gray wolves, each three meters tall at the shoulder, darted out from the forest.

They panted, saliva dripping from their mouths, and the mist from their nostrils glowed an eerie red under the moonlight.

A total of seven gray wolves slowly prowled, encircling the Mountain Monster.

From beginning to end, they paid no attention to Huang Yu and the others nearby.

The Mountain Monster didn't even glance at the gray wolves beside it.

It lowered its body slightly, spread its arms, and roared continuously into the forest.

It seemed the creatures there were its true enemies!

As expected, amidst the Mountain Monster's roars, a massive White Wolf strode out from the dense woods.

Huang Yu pulled up the White Wolf's information panel.

[White Wolf]

[Level: LV35]

[Description: This is a mutated giant wolf, one of the most outstanding hunters in the forest!]
