Legend: One corpse-picking message per day

Chapter 7 Skull Cave! A First Test!

In a typical skull cave...

shhhhhh...

After a flurry of flying...

He Sheng was speechless to discover that players were booking out entire venues everywhere...

He rarely works alone...

After flying more than ten times in a row, there was still no space to land...

People everywhere...

Left with no other option, He Sheng entered the second floor...

But the second floor is still the same...

There are more people than monsters...

Why are there so many people?
He Sheng frowned...

Thinking about it carefully, it seems normal...

After all, there are over 1.5 billion people in the country, and quite a few reach the age of 20 each year. Even if only a small portion of them awaken, that would still be a significant event.

These people who rush into this world, don't they all have to fight monsters and level up...?

This is just one country; globally, the number would be much larger...

Looks like I'll have to go to a map on difficulty or higher...

But there was no token...

He Sheng had already spent a lot of money replenishing potions and return scrolls, leaving him with over 40,000 gold coins. He wasn't extravagant enough to buy tokens.

He mainly didn't expect there to be so many players...

While I was wandering around, the monsters spawned...

While the other players were fighting monsters, He Sheng also grabbed a skeleton from a corner.

While throwing fireballs, he said:

"Hey guys, I'm just passing by, I'll be right on my way! Thanks!"

What he meant was, "I'll leave after I finish this."

The people around him glanced at him, frowned slightly, but said nothing.

It's normal to just pass by; just don't stay here and not move on.

The skeleton has 90 health points, and a small fireball from it can deal 15 to 20 damage.

He Sheng kept moving slightly as he fought, and before the skeleton could even touch him, he was killed.

Six blows to kill!

He picked up 20 gold coins, didn't continue attacking anything else, and flew away.

There's no way to steal any more; there are more than ten other people, including five or six mages.

If they don't leave now and keep stealing monsters, each of them can give him a small fireball, and he'll be down...

Upon reaching the third floor, after another chaotic flight, he finally found a small spot in a corner of a small alley.

There was a group of people waiting outside to level up.

They also spotted He Sheng, but seeing that he was just a junior mage, they exchanged a few smiles and didn't let him leave.

A lowly mage would definitely not be able to withstand the spawning of several monsters in such a confined space.

The group chatted and laughed in the team channel, waiting to see He Sheng make a fool of himself.

Seeing that the other party was ignoring him, He Sheng decided not to leave and waited for the page to refresh...

The monsters in this world, just like in a game, will respawn after a while...

The old monster is the same...

After a while, the monsters respawned.

Five monsters suddenly spawned in this tiny corner!

Two skeletons, a skeleton warrior with a knife, a scorpion, and a cave maggot.

Five monsters in a narrow corner, and the little mage He Sheng was instantly in danger.

If it were an ordinary low-level mage, seeing this, they would definitely run away; they simply couldn't withstand it.

But He Sheng was no ordinary monk.

Without a second thought, he hurled a small fireball at the cave maggot.

The liquid this guy sprays has a chance to paralyze people. If you get paralyzed, you'll be in big trouble and you'll have to kill him first!

While attacking, he tried his best to retreat...

But there was a dead end behind it. After taking a few steps back, there was nowhere to escape!
Before the monsters could pounce, He Sheng attacked the cave maggots again.

Then, he turned around and ran back, right next to the scorpion!

squeak...

The scorpion let out a strange cry and attacked He Sheng once with its huge pincers. He Sheng's health decreased by 2!

The next instant, a skeleton also struck He Sheng with a bone club.

Health reduced by 3!

!!!

Upon seeing the damage figures, He Sheng paused for a moment, then burst into laughter…

Yes, his defense is already incredibly strong thanks to the Black Iron VIP feature, so what's there to be afraid of!
However, it's still necessary to put on a show, otherwise outsiders might think he has some kind of treasure.

Anyway, no one can tell how much health a monster or a player has left after losing health.

So he ran forward a few steps, increasing the distance between himself and the maggots, and continued his attack...

Four small fireballs were fired in succession, driving away the cave maggots.

After killing the biggest threat, He Sheng felt much more at ease.

He was afraid that if he was paralyzed and unable to move, he would be unable to withstand a group attack.

Then He Sheng ran back and forth, taking several attacks from the three skeleton monsters. Each time he took a few points of damage, but he could withstand it without any problem.

Then he fired three small fireballs, killing the scorpion.

Fighting the skeleton monster is a bit more difficult; it has 90 health points and takes six tries to kill.

The final skeleton warrior had 100 health points, and he even fought seven times.

Unfortunately, a minor injury occurred in the middle of the incident.

But at least we've finally cleared out all the monsters...

Several piles of gold coins, a bronze ring, and a small magic potion lay on the ground.

He picked them all up and then dug around for the maggots and scorpions.

They dug out a maggot egg and a scorpion's tail.

These are the materials for making Taoist medicine powder; they can be sold for some money.

After he finished doing everything, he was surprised to see the group of players outside staring at him in astonishment.

The other party's voices carried over without any attempt to conceal their conversation...

"Holy crap! He actually held on! What level is he anyway?"

"To withstand so many monster attacks, you'd probably need to be at least level 15 or 16."

“That’s right, I saw him get hit many times just now, but he was fine.”

"Should we let him go? If he stays here, we'll lose a lot of monsters."

"Forget it, let him be. He probably doesn't have much wound medicine with him."

He couldn't hold on much longer..."

Hearing their discussion, He Sheng clasped his hands in a fist salute and continued waiting to grind monsters...

I also took a look at the bronze rings.
The equipment was trash with an attack range of 0-1, not very useful, but he just put it on casually. He was now fully equipped, only missing a necklace and a helmet.

After defeating several more waves of monsters, He Sheng obtained another hexagonal ring.

I finally got rid of the bronze ring...

Just as he was fighting the respawning monsters again, a private message suddenly came through:
Bei Xiong Jia Ren: "He Sheng? You're up? Where are you? I've run out of gold coins!"

It's Liu Rumeng!

Her name in this world is Kita no Kajin.

He Sheng was speechless...

This idiot really treats the original owner of the body like a provider!

He ignored it and continued to focus on fighting monsters.

As a result, Ru Meng lost her temper:
Hey! What are you doing? Why aren't you replying to me?

"Where are they? Answer me!"

"Are you dead yet? If you don't reply within five minutes, don't ever reply again!"

This concludes the private chat!

He chuckled and continued to ignore it...

Never reply?

He was betting that the other party would still take the initiative to contact him!
It would be such a waste to lose such a good benefactor...
