White Hyena (Normal, Pack, Active): Level 8, HP 220, Attack 45, Defense 30, Skills: Pounce, Howl.
Black Hyena (Normal, Pack, Active): Level 8, HP 200, Attack 50, Defense 25, Skills: Dog Flame, Howl.
Grey Hyena: … …
Spotted Hyena: … …
Besides the camp itself, the Hyena Camp was filled with various colored Hyenas. Their attack power was generally very high, and they were pack-dwelling wild monsters with a complete range of troop types. No wonder few people came to grind here.
“Buddy, these monsters have high attack and fast movement, and we’re both squishy, so it’s hard to fight them! I think we need a laborer—oh, no, a Tank!”
A Tank, as the name suggests… is a shield warrior who puts all or more than two-thirds of his stat points into stamina, possesses numerous defensive skills, and is an elite laborer… a warrior who integrates pulling monsters, tanking monsters, luring monsters, taking damage, and providing support.
As luck would have it, Shen Mu happened to know just such a player.
“You mean?”
“That’s right, that’s exactly what I mean!” Shen Mu nodded, secretly praising Wu Yong Zhi Ren’s quick thinking. He had just hinted at his plan, and Wu Yong Zhi Ren already understood.
“So… what is it?”
“Uh…” Shen Mu rubbed his nose, coughed twice, and said, “With someone to tank, it’s safer to grind!”
“There’s no loss if we die!”
“We’ll lose money! One copper coin can almost buy a piece of Dudu now, I can’t bear to lose it!”
“Do you have someone in mind?”
“I do have such an… acquaintance… a friend!”
Shen Mu immediately contacted his only ‘good buddy,’ Wo Hei Qie Ne, ignoring his ‘friendly greetings’ and directly stating his purpose. The latter initially ignored him, but as soon as he heard about Wu Yong Zhi Ren, he agreed.
The two waited outside the camp. Shen Mu, being too bored, casually used Begging on a stone by his foot. He was just trying it out, but who would have thought…
“Ding! You used Begging on the roadside stone. Begging successful. You obtained Roadside Stone x1.”
Looking at the stone that fell into his backpack, Shen Mu’s expression became quite remarkable. Although he already knew the power of Begging, he didn’t expect it to be so heaven-defying. He could even use it on a stone with no life or intelligence, and it succeeded!
Roadside Stone: Throw it at a target, dealing one point of true damage.
Description: An ordinary stone, only bored people would pick it up.
Huh? Not bad, it even has a little damage!
After comforting himself… Shen Mu withdrew his gaze, turned invisible, and walked towards a Hyena, extending his clean little hand:
“Ding! Stealing failed!”
Poor dog!
Muttering to himself, Shen Mu returned to his original spot. Wu Yong Zhi Ren glanced at him and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sick?”
Shen Mu looked at Wu Yong Zhi Ren speechlessly and replied seriously, “Do you understand that the heavens reward diligence? Anyway, since I’m idle, I might as well practice my skill proficiency!”
“Oh~”
“Oh your mother’s head, oh!” Shen Mu almost swore out loud. He couldn’t stand it when others showed off in front of him, thinking they were Stealing his thunder.
“Yo~ So that old scoundrel who was hiding his face was you, you dog thief!”
A teasing voice sounded behind the two of them. The person who arrived was none other than the rich spendthrift, Wo Hei Qie Ne. His suspicions had come true.
When Shijie Ruliu, that dog thief, suddenly contacted him asking if he wanted to level up with Wu Yong Zhi Ren, he naturally thought of that old scoundrel who appeared on TV but was pixelated…
It really matches that dog thief’s personality!
“Who is the dog thief cursing?”
“Whoever replies is the one being cursed!”
“We’re familiar, but don’t talk nonsense, or I’ll sue you for Taunt!”
“You weren’t hiding your face?”
“I hid my name, but I’m not an old scoundrel! I’m the most sunny young man!”
“Bah! Shameless!”
Shen Mu and Wo Hei Qie Ne started arguing as soon as they met. Wu Yong Zhi Ren endured and endured, then finally snorted, “Are we still grinding or not?”
“Hmph, dog thief!”
“Tsk, unfilial!”
“You damn…”
Wu Yong Zhi Ren sighed and walked towards the village with his staff. Wo Hei Qie Ne quickly grabbed him and said anxiously, “Don’t go! Can’t we just stop arguing?”
“Yes, yes, yes~ Adults don’t hold grudges against children. As an elder, I shouldn’t stoop to his level. It’s my fault!”
“Damn it!”
“Are you two going to level up or not? If you want to argue, why don’t you get a room… I’m not here to listen to you two argue!”
Wu Yong Zhi Ren said a long string of words in one breath. After speaking, he himself was stunned. Wo Hei Qie Ne stared at him with an incredulous look, his tone extremely solemn:
“You—you’re not Wu Yong! Who are you? What do you want to do?”
“I’m your father!” Wu Yong Zhi Ren looked at him helplessly, then pulled him into the team. Shen Mu, meanwhile, burst out laughing.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Super seniority!”
“Super your *!” Wo Hei Qie Ne’s eyes instantly turned red upon hearing that. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to duel Shen Mu. Wu Yong Zhi Ren didn’t know why Shen Mu was laughing, but he knew perfectly well!
More than ten minutes later, the three of them calmly, harmoniously, and with filial piety, walked towards the Hyena Camp. Shen Mu also drank his first experience potion.
Although Wo Hei Qie Ne often spent money lavishly, his strength matched his status as a rich man. At level nine, he already had five defensive skills, and all his equipment was blue quality, one piece of which was worth ten of Shen Mu’s entire sets…
Upon arriving at the camp entrance, Wo Hei Qie Ne took the lead, extended a finger towards a black dog, his face full of disdain, and his tone Taunt: “Hey, girl!”
He was using the core skill of a defensive shield warrior—Taunt, which forcibly attracts the target’s aggro. The skill priority is very high, it can prevent or save a situation after aggro is lost, and it’s also very useful in PvP.
The Hyena, being Taunted, its eyes suddenly turned red. It threw back its head and let out a loud howl. More than ten Hyenas around it immediately charged towards Wo Hei Qie Ne with it. Wo Hei Qie Ne hadn’t expected to pull so many at once. He cursed under his breath, turned around, and ran.
After running for more than ten meters, a circle of light blue ice swept out from behind a tree, instantly freezing all the dozen or so Hyenas. A dense circle of numbers rose!
One of the divine skills of early-game ice mages—Ice Ring!
Strong crowd control + area crowd control!
Ice Ring is similar to Fire Wall, both are area skills, but Fire Wall adds marks and bursts, with no control ability, so Ice Ring is a bit more valuable than Fire Wall.
Now, only two or three days after the game launched, the price of Ice Ring has already soared to an outrageous two thousand yuan per skill book, and it’s still in short supply.
Wu Yong Zhi Ren is truly worthy of being a fourth-generation rich, to be able to get such a top-tier skill!
The moment the Hyenas were controlled, Wo Hei Qie Ne turned around and slammed his shield into one of them. A shimmering white light flashed on the shield, and the Hyena that was hit actually died instantly!
Holy crap, such high damage!!
