Chapter 7: Mutant Bats

Luck: 0

However, when I killed five Flame Bats and gained 600 experience points, I had already spent two small potions, which cost me 40 copper coins. Such expenses are truly heart-wrenching!

Although the attack speed of the flame bat is slow, the second bite is still coming

I will immediately put on the bat leather armor, and my defense will instantly rise from 4 to 12. Then, I will allocate all 5 points to strength, and my attack will change to 16 - 21!

... ...

I can hardly believe my eyes; I actually took down half of a level 5 monster's health with a single sword strike

Defense: 4

Amidst the crisp sounds, the flame bat let out a wail and fell to the ground, while simultaneously, there were two consecutive "ding-dong" sounds, as if something had fallen to the ground

Thus, I immediately turned around to head back to the village, but at that moment, I felt a cold wind sweep in from my right side, causing me to shiver involuntarily. When I turned to look, I was even more startled!

Level: 5

Thus, he eagerly picked up the iron sword and continued to seek trouble with the other fire bats

A dazzling number "85" soars high!

... ...

In the distance, a gigantic bat suddenly appeared, engulfed in flames, its size at least ten times that of a fire bat, resembling a small airplane floating in the air

The numbers are decent, but it will take at least 20 swords to defeat this mutated bat. Glancing at the potions in the bag, there are still 5 small potions. Will they be enough to sustain the fight against this flame bat

After acquiring an attack power of 12, I angrily sought out the Flame Bat once more, striking down with a thunderous sword swing. Instantly, a number appeared above the Flame Bat's head—"248"

However, my vitality has also dropped below 1.5, and the expense is indeed quite significant, but it is still worth it

A flash of green light appeared, and a stream of venom splashed from the mouth of the flame bat. In an instant, I felt a tingling sensation throughout my body, and my vitality plummeted by as much as 70 points

Vitality: 2000

Haha! Finally, the work has begun!

As expected, within less than two minutes, the three individuals could not withstand the fierce onslaught of the Flame Bat and were all transformed into white light, returning to the city to be reborn, leaving behind a severely weakened Flame Bat

Level: 8

Life: 210

Mutated Flame Bat (Mutated Creature)

As time passed second by second, half an hour after the opening of "Spirit Wail," I had already collected 19 bat bloods and successfully leveled up to level 5. Facing monsters of the same level, my attributes were no longer restricted by level, allowing me to fight with greater ease, almost defeating a fire bat with every three strikes!

It was not until I struck down the fifth flame bat that I finally heard a "thud," as a droplet of bat blood solidified and fell to the ground

Thus, I immediately brandished my iron sword and charged forward, delivering a decisive strike to the flaming bat!

Attack: 20 - 28

... ...

I counted carefully, and the bat blood in the package has reached 20, it is full! I can go back and report now

At this moment, the flame bat also seemed to be filled with rage, immediately launching an attack against me. However, before it could strike, I swiftly unleashed my second sword, causing nearly a hundred points of health to be directly deducted from it

Although the bat leather armor is not very aesthetically pleasing, it is nonetheless the first piece of clothing I obtained, and it may even be the first piece of clothing available in this novice village. Therefore, wearing it, I still feel a sense of joy and delight.

I was slightly taken aback; it turned out to be a level 5 monster, its attacks far more formidable than that goblin, and it possessed 500 health points, along with a toxin attack that was impossible to predict

I turned back and found three players, each only at level 2, gazing in this direction. Before long, one of them stepped forward to lure a fire bat. Little did they know, the fire bat was extremely fierce, directly biting off half of that player's health, leaving him pale and terrified as he exclaimed: "Second brother, third brother, hurry and help!"

Reputation: 1

The large bat, engulfed in flames, emitted a harsh cry; its body was blood red, with the exception of its green eyes

When a bargain is presented at your doorstep, how can one not take advantage of it

With two consecutive "swish" sounds, two numbers "91" and "87" jumped out above the head of the flame bat

Attack Type: Mutant Toxin Attack

I was taken aback; the attack of this flame bat is indeed fierce

I examined my own attributes and began to deliberate in my mind

In less than a minute, through a desperate fighting style, the flame bat was defeated, yielding 120 experience points and 19 copper coins. However, the legendary bat blood required for the quest was still nowhere to be found

Bat Leather Armor (White Equipment)

I was taken aback; this is actually a quasi-BOSS level creature! Its attack power is terrifyingly high, reaching a maximum of 28 points, and its defense has also reached 18 points. With my current level 5 and an attack power of 26 points, I can barely break through its defense

I was slightly taken aback; indeed, I had been poisoned. Fortunately, the toxin was not as terrifying as I had imagined. In three seconds, it only caused 2 points of damage, and in 60 seconds, merely 40 points.

The other two players immediately stepped forward, swinging their short sticks and striking the flame bat on the forehead twice in succession, causing two numbers to pop up instantly

Ding!

... ...

In fact, I did not expect that ordinary players can hardly afford potions now. The cheapest red potion costs 20 copper coins each, while a goblin drops only 2 to 3 copper coins. It is simply impossible for average players to level up in such a lavish manner. I must be the only one who is unaware of my own fortune!

I could no longer afford to be concerned about much; I immediately began to search through the soil in a low voice. I discovered, in addition to 17 copper coins, a bat's blood, and furthermore, a piece of dull-colored leather armor

At that moment, the fire bat launched a fierce attack against me. For a brief instant, I felt a slight pain in my body. Upon checking my vitality, I was surprised to find that the poison attack from the fire bat had only caused me 24 points of damage

Thus, I directly consumed a red potion and struck down another flame bat not far away. Amidst a shower of golden light, I officially leveled up

In the quiet of the forest, the only sound was the "whoosh" of the flame bats flapping their wings. At that moment, I heard a voice behind me, someone exclaimed in surprise: "Damn! This kid actually killed a level 5 monster all by himself!"

Upon reviewing the records, I was surprised to discover that a critical hit had actually occurred

I am overjoyed; it seems that after donning the bat skin armor, with a significant boost to my defense, I can now sustain combat!

I couldn't help but smile; heaven has aided me. I was just worried about not having armor for protection, and now this is simply a great gift delivered to my doorstep. If those players from earlier knew about this, they would surely regret it deeply.

Battle Alert: You have been attacked by a Flame Bat, losing 51 health points

Finally, the fiery bat flapped its crimson wings and struck my arm, instantly sending a wave of pain through me

What! You just took away a quarter of my health in one hit

I watched from a distance, almost bursting into laughter. They had no suitable weapons at all, yet they dared to challenge a terrifying level 5 monster with only level 3 capabilities, which was tantamount to seeking death

As night falls, the dew in the forest drops, making an enticing "squelch" sound underfoot

Defense: 18

Ding!

After continuously defeating another fire bat, he picked up the spoils from the ground—bat blood

Required level: 4

Digging out those copper coins from the soil, I counted them, totaling as many as 14 pieces, which is certainly more generous than the goblins

Thus, I directly consumed a health potion and continued to slay the second fire bat

The mutated bat seemed unwilling to let me think too much, and it lunged directly at me, its sharp claws instantly leaving a mark on my leather armor

With two sharp sounds, the iron sword swiftly struck down on the back of the flame bat, instantly depleting the last remnants of its vitality. After letting out a mournful cry, it fell to the ground, dropping some copper coins.

Although the number is auspicious, I cannot feel the slightest bit of joy. I quickly swung my sword in retaliation, and with a loud "bang," I dealt "110" points of damage to the forehead of the fire bat

Defense: 4

8 ! ''

Type of Attack: Toxic Attack

I couldn't help but burst into laughter; indeed, high risks bring high rewards. A goblin only grants 10 experience points, yet I never expected that defeating a fire bat, which is several levels higher, would yield 120 experience points!

There was nothing noteworthy, so it was simply thrown into the package

System Notification: Congratulations, you have leveled up, gaining 20 points of stamina and receiving 5 points to allocate to your attributes!

A reckless scholar (vagrant)

Flame Bat (Common Monster)

Squeak!

Battle Alert: You have been attacked by the toxin of the Flame Bat, causing your health to decrease by 2 points every 3 seconds, lasting for 60 seconds

Defense: 8

I have been running briskly for nearly ten minutes. In this forest, apart from encountering people and goblins, I have not seen anything else. However, when I climbed over a small hill, I finally discovered a new monster

... ...

Snap

I am overjoyed; the full-strength attack is indeed formidable, almost taking out a significant portion of the health of the Flame Bat with a single strike!

Even so, I can still defeat the Flame Bat with a single sword strike, dealing 124 points of health damage, which is already quite impressive

Attack: 11 - 17

Bat Blood (Quest Item)

Battle Notification: You have killed the Flame Bat and gained 120 experience points

Level: 3

Attack: 4 - 10

I checked the experience bar, and I'm just a little bit away from leveling up to level 4

I immediately stepped forward, and the iron sword swept down fiercely from the sky

My offensive capabilities are quite good, but my defense is lacking significantly. The fire bats can definitely breach my defenses considerably, and their toxin attacks are particularly difficult to deal with

12

I was slightly taken aback, quickly picked up the leather armor, and checked its attributes

Vital energy and blood: 500

However, one must seek fortune in danger; I must go, and I must do so ahead of the other players

A sudden sharp pain struck, and the damage number "88" appeared directly above my head

What?

Without daring to hesitate, I must eliminate the flame bat swiftly before its next attack arrives. After all, I have jumped two levels in monster hunting, and lacking any exceptional defensive equipment, this is the only way to level up!
