Wu Shaozhen took Wu Ziyin back to the mountain and headed farther up until they found level 37 monsters. These were another group of apes, called Demon-Eyed Apes. They were magic-type monsters with 2,400 spell attack and 260,000 HP, and their skills consisted of one single-target attack and one area attack.
With a powerhouse healer like Wu Ziyin around, Wu Shaozhen had little to worry about. Still, he did not dare get too reckless. Zi You was watching.
He darted through the Demon-Eyed Apes, dodging attacks as the daggers in his hands slashed across ape after ape from tricky angles. He could not avoid every hit, but he was doing much better than when he had simply tanked everything head-on.
