【Experience +24】
Gu Shao Shang glanced at his current experience points at Level 5.
After dealing with this group of Prairie Wolves, his current experience points had reached 162.
He was only 38 points away from leveling up to Level 6.
That was just a matter of 13 Prairie Wolves.
If he was lucky, it wouldn't take twenty or thirty minutes for Gu Shao Shang to level up again!
"Gu Dage, be careful!"
Just as Gu Shao Shang was still immersed in the joy of leveling up, Lin Youyu's surprised cry suddenly came from behind him.
The next second—
A gust of ill wind struck!
Gu Shao Shang instinctively raised his Black Sheath Longsword to block.
Bang—
A huge force instantly sent him flying.
Gu Shao Shang almost seemed to be airborne, and after landing, he retreated several steps before stopping.
His HP plummeted by a full 10 points!
Roar—
With a roar, a giant striped tiger was seen rushing from the forest not far away. Gu Shao Shang had just been sent flying by a swipe from this giant striped tiger.
Even with the block from the Black Sheath Longsword, it deducted a full 10 points of his HP.
If it had directly hit his body, it would have probably deducted at least 20 points of his HP!
"What a huge tiger!"
Gu Shao Shang looked at the giant striped tiger in surprise, and the next second his eyes instantly became serious.
The giant striped tiger in front of him, even without counting its tail, was close to three and a half meters long, with a shoulder height of about one and a half meters.
It was almost taller than Lin Youyu!
Standing in front of him, just the sense of oppression alone made Gu Shao Shang's breathing become heavy.
This guy was much stronger than any Prairie Wolf!
If he hadn't seen its level information, Gu Shao Shang would have thought he had encountered a Ferocious Beast that Lin Youyu mentioned.
However;
It was already so terrifying even though it wasn't a Ferocious Beast yet.
It was truly hard to imagine how terrifying those real Ferocious Beasts must be?
Roar—
The giant striped tiger in front of him let out another angry roar, and then lunged towards Gu Shao Shang.
The speed of the giant striped tiger was faster than Gu Shao Shang's, and its attack was clearly much stronger than Gu Shao Shang's.
Fortunately, the distance between them wasn't very close. Gu Shao Shang made a preemptive dodge the moment the opponent lunged, and at the same time, his Black Sheath Longsword instantly unleashed a Two-Stage Slash!
The cross-shaped sword light struck the giant striped tiger's body.
Bringing out a splash of blood!
Good news, the damage was effective!
Bad news, Gu Shao Shang forgot that the tiger's tail was also one of their main attack methods.
A black shadow struck, Gu Shao Shang raised his arm to block in front of him, and then his entire body was instantly sent flying!
Roar—
The giant striped tiger that had sent this human flying with a tail swipe lunged towards him the next second.
Its gaping maw opened, aiming directly for Gu Shao Shang's neck.
If it bit down, Gu Shao Shang would probably lose half his life!
"Gu Dage, I'll save you!"
At this moment;
Lin Youyu, who had run over with her short legs, finally arrived at the scene.
Holding that poor quality short knife in one hand, she fearlessly rushed forward, directly hugging one of the giant striped tiger's hind legs, and stabbed it directly.
Awkwardly, the poor quality short knife was too dull, even with the +1 Strength attribute.
But Lin Youyu herself only had 1 point of Strength.
One stab only scraped off a tuft of the giant striped tiger's fur.
The next second—
Bang!
A small figure was sent flying.
Lin Youyu was directly swatted away by the enraged giant striped tiger, and her meager 10 points of HP were instantly cleared!
"Xiao Yu!"
Seeing this scene, Gu Shao Shang was also instantly enraged. Even though he knew Lin Youyu could revive, and could revive a full 100 times a day, seeing Lin Youyu being swatted to death by this giant striped tiger, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of anger rush to his brain!
The next second;
Gu Shao Shang instantly rushed forward.
Taking advantage of the opportunity Lin Youyu had bought him with her life, he lightning-fast unleashed two consecutive Two-Stage Slashes on the giant striped tiger's body, one of which even directly wounded one of its eyes!
With this, the giant striped tiger was also instantly severely injured!
Although the Black Sheath Longsword had no attribute boosts, its sharpness was not low.
Coupled with Gu Shao Shang's Strength attribute which had reached 10 points.
These two Two-Stage Slashes caused the giant striped tiger to let out several painful whimpers.
"Die!!!"
Gu Shao Shang unleashed all his anger on the giant striped tiger.
At the cost of having one of his arms disabled by the giant striped tiger, he directly pierced its neck with a sword!
Pfft~!
The Black Sheath Longsword was pulled out, bringing out a large amount of blood that instantly stained a large area of the surrounding ground red.
The giant striped tiger, which was just now so imposing, now staggered backward, its huge body swayed a few times, and then with a bang, it heavily collapsed onto the ground.
Gu Shao Shang quickly rushed up and delivered another sword strike.
Only then did he completely finish off this big guy!
"Woohoo~！ It hurts so much!"
At this moment, Lin Youyu, who had died for the first time in the distance, also climbed up from the ground, reaching out to touch her little belly. Through the clothes torn by the tiger's claws, her smooth and fair skin could be seen. After not seeing any injuries or scars, Lin Youyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Yu, how do you feel?"
Gu Shao Shang also ran over at this time and asked with concern.
"Gu Dage, I'm fine!"
Lin Youyu smiled and looked up at Gu Shao Shang, shaking her head and saying, "Look, there are no scars left!"
She pointed to her little belly.
Lin Youyu's clothes were brought from Blue Star. They didn't have the magical self-repair function like the white swordsman robe on Gu Shao Shang.
At this moment, several tears had been scratched on her abdomen by the tiger's claws, and the fair skin inside could be clearly seen, with indeed no scars on it.
There wasn't even a trace of blood.
It was as if it had been refreshed!
"Gu Dage, wasn't I super brave just now?"
Lin Youyu said with a smile at this moment.
Her small face showed a smug expression as she looked at Gu Shao Shang.
"Yes, Xiao Yu is super brave!"
Gu Shao Shang smiled and reached out to rub Lin Youyu's hair, praising her generously.
"Hehe~！ I told you, I can protect you, Gu Dage!"
Lin Youyu said happily with a smile.
"Yes, this time it was all thanks to you, Xiao Yu. Otherwise, the situation would have been dangerous."
Gu Shao Shang nodded and said.
This time, it was indeed thanks to Lin Youyu's help, which not only bought him an excellent opportunity to strike but also helped him avoid a fatal attack.
"Gu Dage, is that big tiger dead?"
Lin Youyu also asked curiously at this time.
"Yes, it's dead."
Gu Shao Shang nodded.
Hearing this, Lin Youyu's eyes immediately lit up and she ran over.
Looking at the giant striped tiger in front of her, which still exuded a terrifying aura even though it was dead, Lin Youyu first kicked it a few times angrily, and then took out her survival handbook, opened the creature illustration to check.
"So the big tiger is called Forest Tiger, what a common name."
Lin Youyu pouted, and then directly used the gathering skill to decompose the Forest Tiger in front of her into a pile of materials such as tiger meat, tiger bones, and tiger skin.
