Looking out, there was an endless expanse of light black grass, various dead trees, and collapsed houses, as if it had once been burned by fire. The slightly fishy smell wafting through the air was mixed with the scent of blood and the stench of decay.

It's hard to explain! It feels like a lot of people have died in this area. But it seems that this explanation is not a problem. After all, the Black Wasteland is very close to the monastery!

Looking at Leah, whose expression had changed slightly, Wu Ye took out a bottle of "perfume" from his bag, poured it on a wet towel, and asked Leah to cover her nose and smell it.

"Brother Wu is so thoughtful. Although I feel better now, we will probably still be here for a long time, right? We still have to accept these unpleasant smells. If this stench still exists in the future, I'll just have to endure it!" I have to say that Leah is a strong child! !

Wu Ye nodded and led the two women directly towards the Black Wasteland camp. Wu Ye looked at the map and found that the Black Wasteland camp was actually very close to the intersection of Taimo Highlands! The journey from the Blood Wasteland to the monastery was a journey with increasing altitude, just like you were climbing a mountain.

"Vera, how far have you gotten so far?" Wu Ye was curious about how far Vera, already level 18, could reach solo. This dark world wasn't like a game, where you could single-handedly take on every monster and boss. But here, you couldn't be so careless. You had to consider your stamina, your attack and dodge abilities, and the terrain and surroundings. Furthermore, you didn't have a bird's-eye view; you had to be constantly on guard against any monster posing a surprise attack.

"I'm almost at the monastery! After all, the ashes in the cathedral are not easy for me to deal with now. If I can't even defeat the ashes in the cathedral, let alone Andariel." The ashes that Vera mentioned are actually a skeleton mage in the monastery cathedral. It is a dark gold boss with high poison damage. Generally speaking, the ashes are the entrance ticket to fight Andariel. Of course, it is just an entrance, and it does not mean that Andariel's body has only so much poison.

Wu Ye asked Uncle Jordan, who had been on this adventure before, and he simply told him that two or three sets of equipment had been damaged. That was about it. If you were hit by Andariel's poison, it would quickly erode the durability of your equipment. More directly, it would melt! If your poison resistance wasn't high enough, a single hit could kill you.

"Ashes...? If you need any help, just come to me! Even though I'm not strong enough now, I'll definitely come if you need me." Although Wu Ye knew that Vera had ventured alone to reach that place just like him, no one is perfect, and there will always be times when help is needed.

"Then I won't be polite! I hope you won't regret it then. If I can't defeat the Bone Ashes next time, then I'll either have to collect equipment to counter it, or wait for you to help me!"

Wu Ye was quite surprised when he heard this. He had thought Vera would refuse his help, but she accepted. It didn't seem like she was joking. But it was a good thing that she accepted his help. After all, they were already partners in the same industry! She and Leah seemed to have a good relationship, and after all, she was the little princess of the Amazon tribe.

"And me! And me! Sister Vera, I will be able to help you when the time comes!" Leah held Vera's hand and looked at Vera seriously.

"Liya, you are so kind! Maybe with you guys here, I can end my life as a lone wolf!" Vera's words came from the heart. Although she did not witness Wu Ye's growth, her growth was indeed visible to the naked eye. She heard from her aunt that Wu Ye had carried out many dangerous missions, and at his level at the time, it would be fatal if he was not careful.

Wu Ye's view of Vera changed significantly along the way. From the moment she stood on the city wall, commanding the others, to the moment she risked her life to save him, and now, after spending so much time with him, he realized she was truly a suitable companion. He had initially assumed she would be arrogant and unwilling to accept help, but he hadn't expected her to respond in this way. While this was unexpected, Wu Ye felt a certain joy in his heart.

If he really stayed alone, it might not be easy to survive. Wu Ye thought carefully and decided that instead of being strong alone, it would be better for everyone around him to become strong! Then he could become stronger than them and protect them.

"This camp is so far away! Although it can be reached in a straight line on the map, it is impossible to get there in a straight line. It's really like trying to reach a mountain and then running to death!" Wu Ye and the two women walked for most of the day and found that although they were still heading towards the teleportation array, they didn't walk very far.

"How about we just clear out the monsters around us and then slowly make our way over!"

Vera threw a javelin at the fallen Rogge, instantly killing her. Wu Ye thought about it and realized that this was indeed possible. After all, the monster level here was enough for him and Leah to level up.

"Okay, let's get started! I feel bad for the adventurers who came here to level up, but the experience and drops from these monsters belong to us!"

The adventurer teams Wu Ye saw along the way would face no more than 5 monsters at the same time, because the more monsters there are, the lower the tolerance rate. Many teams would choose to face a small number of monsters for the sake of safety, which is both safer and not much slower.

For ordinary adventurers, Wu Ye's team is completely abnormal. Wu Ye is equivalent to dragging a few level 10 barbarians who can only use basic attacks to fight monsters. Although the skeletons cannot dodge, they can block little by little. The damage is really much higher.

The Black Wasteland contained many monsters I had encountered before, but their levels had been increased accordingly. For example, there were blue-skinned Imps and Imp Mages, Fetid Crows, Skeleton Infantry and Skeleton Archers, Moon Tribes with various weapons, and Fallen Rogues with various weapons. There were also Hairy Rats.

Wu Ye's favorite monsters to fight were Imps and Imp Mages. After all, he saw their relatives the moment he crossed over! Fallen Demons were usually the first monsters new players saw, or they were very slow-moving zombies.

However, compared to the larger monsters, Wu Ye hated the smaller ones more. They could hide in the shadows and ambush people, making it difficult to defend against them. Especially the spiky-haired rat! It wasn't big, but it used the thorns on its back to attack people quite frequently. Wu Ye had been frequently ambushed by this creature before.

"Brother Wu, why are these goat-headed monsters called the Moon Clan? It doesn't seem like they have anything to do with the moon at all!"

Wu Ye also wanted to know the question that Leah asked, but he was embarrassed to say that he didn't know the answer either!

"Maybe they believe in the moon? I once read a book that said the priests of the Moon Tribe would worship the moon. Maybe the people who discovered them named them that way!" Wu Ye said nonsense seriously. He didn't know why they were called the Moon Clan, because the Sheep-Headed People had other branches with other names, such as the Bloody Clan, the Hell Clan, etc. Anyway, they were widely distributed and there were many of them!

"So that's how it is!!" Leah's expression made Wu Ye reluctant to continue. Vera, standing beside her, was trying to hold back her laughter.

"Wu is right. There are indeed traces of the Moon Clan's activities in other areas of Khanduras, and their tribe also worships the moon. But those goat-headed demons seem different from the ones in the monastery now. The demons here seem to have been corrupted by the power of Hell. A linguist once spoke with the Moon Clan's priests and learned that they are called the Moon Clan." (I made this up)

As he spoke, Wu Ye killed a member of the Moon Clan directly. While Leah was thinking for a moment, Vera threw out a javelin and crippled a member of the Moon Clan.

As the monster level increases, Vera's damage becomes less high. After all, the health and defense attack of high-level monsters will increase.

The level suppression here is very scary, just like when Wu Ye was pinned to the spot by the mysterious man's power. Wu Ye deeply understands the benefits of a high level. This is the bonus brought by the World Stone.

"We're finally reaching the campsite! I hope the people who register their information won't ask any questions this time!" Leah glanced at the map and suddenly felt like she could take a break.

Looking at the camp not far away, Wu Ye felt something strange, inexplicably strange. Something was simply not right.

As everyone slowly walked towards the camp, Wu Ye saw Rogge, the gatekeeper, and found nothing unusual, so he walked in.

"Rafe, boy, if it weren't for me you would have died this time, did you know that?!?" Thor's voice spread far away, and Wu Ye heard the roar as soon as he entered the camp.

Looking at Raf sitting on the stool with his head down being scolded by Thor, and Farah and Heim standing beside him, Wu Ye felt that it must be Raf who was in trouble again.

"Boss, I just...just wanted to try out my newly dropped weapon...I'm fine!"

At this moment, Rafe was no longer the same person he had been in town before. Instead, he looked like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for his mother to scold him. And he was still trying to make excuses.

"You're jumping into a monster pile just to try out a new weapon? What the hell is going on in your head? If Heim hadn't found you in time, you'd be dead, don't you know?" Thor lectured Raph, spit flying everywhere. He was completely different from his previous friendly image.

From their conversation, Wu Ye learned that it was the stupid barbarian Laf who went to act alone.

"Do you think you're some god of war who can fight ten people alone? Haven't you made enough mistakes like this? We've been adventuring together for so many years, don't you know how to work as a team? We all treat you like a brother, will you die if you tell us a thing or two?!"

Raf lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. He knew that he almost died this time. If Thor and the others hadn't rescued him in time, he might have been killed by the monster.

Farah and Heim were silent, as if this was not the first time such a situation had occurred.

Wu Ye, who was standing in the distance, looked at the two people in front of him who looked different from before and really didn't know what to say.

"Okay, remember to report next time. If you want to try new weapons, we can cooperate with you. Don't always act on your own and do whatever you want. We are a team, remember?" Thor didn't want to say anything anymore. He spoke to Raf in a gentler tone as if coaxing a child.

"Wu is here." Heim, who was silent on the side, reminded their boss Thor.

"Wu is here??"

When Thor heard this, he immediately turned around and saw Wu Ye, Leah and Vera standing in the distance.

"Hi!" Wu Ye walked up and greeted everyone.

"Ahem, Wu, you're progressing really fast! Have you reached the Black Wasteland so soon?" Thor on the side cleared his throat to ease the embarrassment of having just scolded someone.

"Of course I have to! If it weren't for your help, I would have died in the bloody wasteland!"

Wu Ye was very grateful to the group of people in front of him. After all, they could help strangers who had nothing to do with him, and they had such great kindness. Such people were the easiest to make friends with. But they were also the least cruel.

"No way, we are good brothers, aren't we?" Thor put his arm around Wu Ye's shoulders and started chatting.

Leah and Vera on the side looked at Wu in front of them, feeling as if he had been snatched away by someone else!

"Wu, tell us how you managed to catch up with us so quickly!" Thor took Wu Ye to sit under a shed nearby and poured a glass of wine for Wu Ye and filled his own glass as well. Heim and the others sat down consciously and took out their own wine, ready to listen to gossip.

After all, there aren’t that many entertainment options in the Dark World, and listening to other people’s adventure stories is also a kind of gain and experience.

“So and so…this and this!”

Wu Ye asked Leah and Vera to sit aside, and then began to tell the story.

From the angry corpses at the beginning to the blood crows later, to the catacombs, and then to taking Leah to the Icy Plains Cave, defeating Rakanishu together, and clearing out those monsters. Taking Vera and Leah to the Stone Wilderness Cave and reaching the Black Wasteland to defeat Treehead and Wooden Fist and so on.

"Wu, you're absolutely insane! In just a few months, you're only a few levels behind us! How could a normal adventurer fight 20 or 30 monsters at once like you? Our team can only handle 6 or 7 at most. This is truly insane!"

"Hey, is there?"

A long time passed in this conversation. Leah and Vera, standing by, listened with rapt interest. Vera knew what Wu Ye had been through and felt sorry for him. If Wu Ye had been any weaker, he would have died.

It’s great that he is still alive!
