Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

After this little incident, the team fell silent.

Robin wisely kept quiet, only indicating that he could purchase materials from the Scythe Mantis.

"A pair of intact Tier 2 (Level 11-20) Scythe Mantises' scythes, 50 copper coins each."

"make a deal."

Ci Nianyun readily agreed, while Zhang Xiaoyuan indicated that she was currently of use.

"What's the point of keeping the sickle? Even if you sell it in the Elf City, it'll cost the same. Are you going to keep it to forge weapons?"

Robin asked curiously.

Zhang Xiaoyuan smiled but didn't say anything. He wasn't going to tell Robin that he was going to activate the encyclopedia to get the reward.

Once this becomes known to others, collecting rare materials will become many times more difficult.

After learning that killing the Scythe Mantis could drop the [Execute] skill, Zhang Xiaoyuan was no longer in a hurry to leave the forest. Instead, she kept taking detours, preparing to kill more Scythe Mantises and obtain more [Execute] skill emblems.

So, Zhang Xiaoyuan led everyone to start walking in circles in the forest.

During the journey, we encountered weak monsters and killed them.

When encountering a powerful monster, Zhang Xiaoyuan would simply run away.

Surprisingly, almost every time a sickle-shaped praying mantis was found, it was in a pair, and they were doing something quite unsightly.

"When all things revive, it's like spring has arrived, and the magical beasts also begin to unleash their instincts."

Robin chuckled and said, "Now that you've acquired so many scythes from the Scythe Mantises, surely you can sell me some, right?"

"can."

Zhang Xiaoyuan stopped and glanced at the spoils in her backpack, then couldn't help but sigh.

In the middle of the day, Zhang Xiaoyuan killed ten mantises, and as a result, she got two [Slay] skill emblems, one basic skill emblem [Float] (can fly for 5 seconds), and one basic skill emblem [Gnaw] (can restore stamina by consuming plants).

Name: Zhang Xiaoyuan (18 years old, male)

Level: 8 (Requires 80 experience points to level up)

Strength: 76.

Defense: 55.

Speed: 76.

Wisdom: 26.

Stamina: 55.

Skills: Sleep Combat, Berserk 2 (Advanced).

Considering Hou Mu's dedication to cleaning up the monster corpses, Zhang Xiaoyuan gave him the [Gnawing] skill emblem.

After all, with faster physical recovery, one has more energy to run errands.

"Thank you, Brother Yuan!"

Hou Mu excitedly accepted the [Gnawing] skill emblem and immediately used it, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes before he returned to normal.

"Nine pairs of sickle-shaped mantises' sickles, a total of 4 silver coins and 50 copper coins (1 silver coin = 100 copper coins)."

Robin happily stuffed the scythe into his backpack; for freelancers, trading was their favorite thing to do.

"For the sake of our many transactions, I'll give you a heads-up: due to the recent plant withering, the production of medicinal herbs has decreased, so the amount of resurrection potion that can be prepared is half of what it used to be, and the price has increased tenfold. It now costs 100 silver coins."

You can take advantage of this time to collect more valuable materials and earn more coins. Oh, and by the way, you also need to hurry on your journey, otherwise the resurrection potions might be sold out.

"What?! 100 silver coins?! How can it be so expensive?!"

Hou Mu's face was grim. Judging from the entrance examinations in previous years, players would only receive an average of 50 silver coins, which included all expenses. Someone like him, who did not have strong combat abilities, simply could not earn that much money!

Why didn't you say so sooner?!

Hou Mu angrily grabbed Robin by the collar.

"Hmph, I'm already being very generous by telling you this news for free!"

Robin waved his hand and easily pushed Hou Mu away. Robin, at level 10, could easily push away Hou Mu, who was at level 6.

"In that case, let's leave this forest and continue on our way."

As Ci Nianyun spoke, she glanced at Zhang Xiaoyuan. Seeing that Zhang Xiaoyuan did not object, she breathed a sigh of relief, finally free from dealing with these monstrous beasts.

Ci Nianyun touched her stomach. After fighting for most of the day, she had no appetite at all because the scene she had seen was too disgusting.

Following the map and Robin's description, the group found a route to leave.

"When I came here, there was only one human-faced bear on this route, the one you killed. It's probably safe now," Robin said with a smile.

Finally, he could leave this place.

On the way, Zhang Xiaoyuan took advantage of a break to fuse the four [Slay] skill emblems.

First, the two are fused together.

[Execute 2: There is a 0.02% (1 in 5,000) chance to trigger the Execute effect when initiating an attack, executing an enemy of the same level and stage in front of you.]

Next, the two [Execute 2] skill emblems were fused together.

[Execute 3: There is a 0.04% (1 in 2.5%) chance to trigger the Execute effect when initiating an attack, executing an enemy of the same level and stage in front of you.]

Good news, the fusion was successful.

The bad news is that the probability of triggering the kill is still very low.

"Never mind, let's use it first."

Zhang Xiaoyuan sighed and chose to use it.

Name: Zhang Xiaoyuan (18 years old, male)

Level: 8 (Requires 80 experience points to level up)

Strength: 81.

Defense: 55.

Speed: 76.

Wisdom: 36.

Stamina: 55.

Skills: Sleep Combat, Berserk 2 (Advanced), Execute 3 (Intermediate).

Characteristic: Armor Penetration (Ignores one-tenth of the enemy's defense).

Strength increased by 5 points, and Intelligence increased by 10 points.

This time, her level didn't increase, but what Zhang Xiaoyuan cared about more was the newly appeared armor-piercing characteristic.

"Could the newly emerging trait be because of the extra upgrade given to the skill emblem?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan grinned. In this way, she could collect more emblems of the same type in the future, and at least fuse them to the point of having special characteristics, which would greatly improve her combat power.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have much time left. He can only wait until he leaves the Battlefield of the Gods to hunt the Scythe-Mantis outside.

"Captain, it's getting late. Should we rest for the night and set off again tomorrow?"

Ishida looked at Ci Nianyun.

Although Ishida heard Zhang Xiaoyuan's stomach rumbling, in Ishida's heart, the captain was still the strongest!

"it is good."

Ci Nianyun glanced at Zhang Xiaoyuan discreetly; coincidentally, she was also hungry.

"Alright, let's have bear meat porridge and roasted porcupine for dinner tonight."

With a shout, Ishida cleaned the porcupine's internal organs, gathered his clay gun, and pierced the porcupine through.

When he saw the porcupine looking like this, his expression immediately turned sour.

"Captain, I want to ask..."

“That’s right. Didn’t you say you come from a family of chefs? This skill is perfect for you,” Ci Nianyun said with a smile.

"Oh, then I'll have to trouble you with the rest of the journey."

Zhang Xiaoyuan patted Ishida on the shoulder and sat down to examine the items she had collected in her backpack.

Ci Nianyun casually looked around, but her eyes kept glancing at Zhang Xiaoyuan. This was all seen by Shi Tian, ​​who was cooking, and it hurt him deeply.

"Waaaaah, so I was part of your play too!"

Ishida channeled his grief and anger into strength, took out his homemade stone knife, and chopped fiercely at the corpse of the bear-faced man.

Then, using the water condensed from the compassionate clouds, they cooked lean meat porridge.

Before long, the aroma of porridge filled the air.

"Everyone can have some porridge first; the roasted porcupine will take a while to cook."

No sooner had Ishida finished speaking than an angry roar of a beast echoed from the forest ahead.
