Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

"Punch me."

On the battlefield, Zhang Xiaoyuan moved slowly.

He's currently at level 4, so naturally he can't run "fast".

However, he always managed to dodge the porcupine's spikes with perfect timing.

"Brother Yuan, let me help you tie it up!"

Hou Mu hid behind a tree and released his thorn whip, which wrapped around the porcupine's feet for a second, barely causing the porcupine to lose its balance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Xiaoyuan and Ci Nianyun rushed to the porcupine and punched and shot at the porcupine's lower, spineless parts.

Chi!

Ci Nianyun's icy spear pierced the porcupine's throat. Zhang Xiaoyuan calmly withdrew her index finger, shook off the fur, and kept her hand clenched into a fist.

"Huh, is the porcupine monster's defense really that weak?"

Ci Nianyun paused for a moment, then slowly withdrew the Ice Cold Spear.

The porcupine died, and since everyone fought together, they all received experience points.

Ci Nianyun 5 points, Hou Mu 1 point, Shi Tian 0.5 points, Zhang Xiaoyuan 8.5 points.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was thus promoted to level 5.

Name: Zhang Xiaoyuan (18 years old, male)

Level: 5 (Requires 46.5 experience points to level up)

Strength: 67.

Defense: 43.

Speed: 67.

Wisdom: 17.

Stamina: 43.

Skills: Sleep Combat, Berserk 2 (Advanced).

When Ci Nianyun saw that she had only received 5 experience points, she immediately realized that it was Zhang Xiaoyuan, not herself, who actually killed the porcupine.

"Hmph, you despicable fellow!"

"Brother Yuan, let me help you pack up your spoils."

Hou Mu bowed and scraped, and before Zhang Xiaoyuan could speak, he had already taken the initiative to tidy up the porcupine's fur, quills, and core.

"Ahem, the captain can distribute the spoils."

Zhang Xiaoyuan silently stepped aside, glancing at Robin out of the corner of her eye. She found that Robin remained unmoved, just as before, showing no unusual behavior.

"Am I overthinking it?"

"Captain, there's a skill emblem!"

Hou Mu, who was cleaning up the porcupine carcass, exclaimed in surprise as a white skill emblem floated above the carcass.

"Captain, it's a low-level skill emblem—Spear Dagger. It can conjure a spear and shoot it out. It matches your divine blessing perfectly."

Hou Mu handed the spear-stabbing skill emblem to Ci Nianyun.

"Hmm, not bad, but I've already learned one skill, so I don't need the spear-stabbing skill emblem."

After Ci Nianyun finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan. This girl was so strong, she might have learned advanced skill runes just like her.

However, Zhang Xiaoyuan is only level 5. How could he possibly use advanced skills? Wouldn't his body explode from the excessive burden?

"Has your teammate already learned the skill? No wonder he's a genius. Here you go, Yuan-ge." Hou Mu offered it with both hands.

"No need, this skill emblem is not suitable for me."

Zhang Xiaoyuan shook her head. "A basic skill; its power is too low."

"Can I use it? That way I'll be good at both offense and defense, and my combat power will increase a lot."

Ishida spoke, his heart pounding with trepidation, since he hadn't contributed much to the killing of the porcupine.

"Hey, I can use it to increase my combat power too, I want one too."

Hou Mu chimed in, "If Ishida gets stronger, won't I become the weakest in the team? That won't do!"

"You? Your thorn whip isn't suitable. Give it to Ishida."

After thinking for a moment, Ci Nianyun gave the spear-stabbing skill emblem to Ishida.

"Thank you, Captain! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Ishida was thrilled; he had finally taken another step forward in his strength! And he was closer to becoming the captain!

"Hmph, I'll have even better ones in the future," Hou Mu said sourly.

Ishida put away the porcupine carcass, indicating that he would eat it for the next meal.

"You all cooperated very well. I believe you will definitely achieve final victory."

Robin walked over, laughing and clapping.

"Ah, I appreciate your kind words."

Hou Mu curled his lip, "What a coward."

"Let's keep going."

Ci Nianyun didn't mind, since it had been agreed from the beginning that it was an escort mission.

However, she stopped expecting Robin to do anything after that.

As they moved forward, the group discovered that a touch of green was gradually appearing in the once withered forest, radiating a hint of life.

"Robin, what's going on? Didn't you say the forest had withered?" Ci Nianyun looked at Robin with eyes full of doubt.

"That's actually strange. Even though many forests and grasslands have withered, there is still a place full of life in every place."

At first, I thought there were treasures in the land of life, but after investigation, I found that there were none, just ordinary plants.

Some elders speculated that it might be the work of the gods, since only a deity could control such a large area.

As Robin spoke, he clasped his hands together and prayed to the heavens, not wanting to be seen by the gods and punished.

"Is that right?"

Ci Nianyun was somewhat skeptical, but she had no proof.

But at that very moment, the greenery that had been just a single patch suddenly expanded.

It was like a splash of paint, turning the surrounding withered trees green.

"what happened?"

Robin was startled. Had he offended the gods with his words? Thinking this, he hurriedly knelt down and prayed.

"Great Tree God, please forgive your people. I will offer you my faithful prayers day and night..."

"These plants, which were on the verge of dying, have come back to life!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan exclaimed in surprise.

In an instant, these withered trees sprouted green buds, which then grew branches, and the forest became lush and green again.

It was no longer a desolate place, but full of life and vitality.

"Hey, are you aware of this situation?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan slapped Robin on the back of the head. Gods wouldn't care about such things; it's highly likely that a powerful magical beast is behind it.

“I don’t know. Nothing like this has ever happened in the past 500 years. Perhaps only God knows.” Robin shook his head.

"Although we don't know what happened, everyone should remain vigilant. Once the vegetation grows out, the hidden monsters will be much harder to spot," Ci Nianyun reminded.

The porcupine monster we encountered when we first entered took us a while to defeat; the ones that followed were only stronger.

However, after walking for a while, she realized that her idea was wrong.

Apart from the porcupine monster they encountered at the beginning of the forest, which was level 10, they later encountered more than a dozen other monsters, but none of them were above level 10; the highest level they encountered was only level 8.

However, no one was dissatisfied, after all, this forest was too eerie, and it was better to have less danger, except for Zhang Xiaoyuan.

"Strange, where did all the high-level magical beasts go? There are only low-level magical beasts, leveling up is too slow."

The experience gained from killing monsters corresponds to the monster's level; the lower the level, the less experience you gain.

In particular, the fact that three teammates would share experience points greatly slowed down Zhang Xiaoyuan's leveling speed.

I killed more than a dozen monsters and only gained 32.5 experience points. I still have 14 points left before I can level up next time.

"If only there were two more high-level magical beasts, I could reach 20 intelligence points and learn a new skill with just one more level up."

Zhang Xiaoyuan carefully surveyed his surroundings. Whenever a magical beast appeared, he would rush forward immediately, even if it meant revealing a bit of his strength to Robin.

Fat people have strong explosive power and speed, no doubt about it.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

They hadn't gone far when they heard strange roars coming from the woods ahead, sounding like two beasts.

"I'll go check the situation!"

Hou Mu volunteered for the mission. He's still injured and has even less experience, so he needs to show everyone his value!

But the next moment, he witnessed a horrifying scene.
