Tree Sea Dungeon.
"Clang!"
"Ding! You killed a Green-Armored Mantis (LV4), gaining +40 experience."
"Ding! Score +1, current score 10."
After tearing a mantis larger than a human in half, Jiang Yuan's score reached 10 points.
He bent down and picked up a green steel saber, shaped like a scythe, from a pile of Materials dropped by giant Green-Armored Mantises.
It was serrated and gleamed with a cold light.
"This feels pretty good to use."
Jiang Yuan gripped the scythe and swung it twice casually.
The sharp blade cut through, and the extremely tough, thick vines nearby were instantly sliced in half.
Nodding in satisfaction, Jiang Yuan looked around.
"I didn't expect this dungeon to be so big; I've been walking deeper for so long, and I'm still on the outskirts."
"The monsters are too weak."
"Wait, did I go the wrong way?"
Jiang Yuan thought, scratching his head.
He wasn't directionally challenged, but this area, covered with giant trees, made it incredibly difficult to tell directions.
One wrong turn and he could get lost, and there was no map for the dungeon.
Jiang Yuan's face showed a troubled expression, "It'll be a problem if I went the wrong way."
"I should have learned a scouting skill."
He sighed.
Now he couldn't open the Star Domain Network for transactions, so he had to use a clumsy method.
He bent his legs, gathered strength, and pushed off with a powerful Kick.
"Boom!"
The hard ground caved in and exploded.
Jiang Yuan's figure instantly vanished from his spot, soaring into the sky with a slight sonic boom, only slowing down when he reached a hundred meters high.
Using the green steel saber in his hand to cut into a thick tree trunk, Jiang Yuan peered into the distance.
"It's all the same scenery; which way should I go... Hmm?"
He looked in one direction.
Faint explosions of fire could be heard from there... "Boom!"
"Bang!"
Jiang Yuan approached that area.
More than ten Goblin warriors, armed with wooden clubs, shields, and axes, were closing in on three students.
Two boys and one girl, a standard combination of a warrior, a big shield, and a mage.
The female mage seemed to lack combat experience, constantly releasing fire spells in a panic, but they were all blocked by the large Goblin standing in front of the other Goblins.
"Don't come closer, don't come closer!"
Once her mana bar was depleted, what awaited the group was a siege.
"Zhang Xuan, calm down," the warrior boy shouted, "This is useless!"
"Damn it, we only killed one Goblin, how did so many suddenly appear?!" The thick-browed shield user was covered in cold sweat.
"What do we do now? I don't want to end this so soon."
While the two were still discussing what to do, something worse happened.
The girl stopped casting spells and slumped to the ground, powerless.
"I, I have no more strength..."
A group of Goblins emerged from behind the large Goblin, looking at them with evil smiles.
"%￥&@34%#!... (You're done for, foolish humans)"
"◎★▲△■※￡¤￠℃... (Die!)"
"%￥#!... (Go, get that woman)"
"Damn it!"
The warrior boy gritted his teeth, lunged forward with a thrust, blocking a Goblin's wooden club aimed at the girl.
"Hiss... Such heavy force, quickly help!"
The shield user quickly stepped forward to taunt and draw attacks, but he was slapped aside by the large Goblin, his shield flying out of his hand.
The warrior parried the attack of the Goblin in front of him, released a skill, and his body was enveloped in a bloody light.
"Blood Rage! Plus, Fissure Slash!"
He gripped his greatsword with both hands and slashed down fiercely, the blade cutting through the Goblin's tough body, leaving a deep gash that reduced its health bar by more than half.
"#!... (Ah!!! It hurts so much!! You damned human demon!!!)" The injured Goblin let out a piercing scream of pain.
Just as the warrior boy was about to deliver the final blow.
The Goblin seemed to be attacked by something invisible, its scream abruptly stopped, its eyes burst open with a 'pop', and its health bar instantly dropped to zero.
The warrior boy froze for a moment, then his eyes widened.
No way! Was his monster kill stolen?!
Don't joke around.
He was counting on the experience from killing this monster to level up!!
Suppressing his inner anger and impatience, he turned his head and looked around, quickly spotting Jiang Yuan sitting on a rock a hundred meters away.
"Classmate, you're also a test-taker, right? How about we team up?"
The warrior boy suppressed the anger of having his monster kill stolen, forced a smile, and asked Jiang Yuan.
What he was thinking was to lure this person in to draw the Goblins' aggro, giving them time to escape.
"You see, it's really dangerous here, one person will definitely be eliminated quickly, so why don't we all team up, the experience..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the Goblins' attack.
The female mage and the shield user also saw Jiang Yuan, as if seeing hope, and pleaded urgently:
"Yes, yes, classmate, let's team up."
"I can block attacks for you, absorb damage; the four of us teaming up will definitely be able to eliminate this group of Goblins... Ah!"
"If you're willing to help, I... no, I'll even be your girlfriend, you see..." The female mage tore open her magic robe, revealing a trembling expanse of white to Jiang Yuan.
This scene made the warrior boy beside her furious.
This slut!
He had been pursuing her for so long, spending money and effort, and she had only just agreed to be his girlfriend; he hadn't even held her hand yet, and now she was showing her chest so easily to a stranger...
Jiang Yuan yawned expressionlessly, his heart completely unmoved by what they said, and he had no intention of helping.
Everyone is a competitor, why should I help?
It's good enough that I haven't eliminated you all.
Rather, it would be better if they were eliminated.
Then all these monsters would be his.
Seeing his intention, the male warrior became enraged, "Are you really going to stand by and watch us die?! And you stole my monster, you're truly too..."
Before he could finish, the large Goblin's wooden club smashed down, and he had no choice but to crush the teleportation stone in his hand.
"I can't go on either..."
The female mage closed her eyes in despair, and before the Goblins could swing their axes and clubs, she crushed the teleportation stone in her hand, turning into a white light and disappearing from her spot.
"Damn it!"
With his companions all gone, the shield user, no matter how unwilling, could only crush his teleportation stone at this moment.
As the three left.
Jiang Yuan finally stood up from the rock, looking at the group of experience... no... Goblins not far away, a smile appearing on his face.
"They finally left, now I don't have to worry about them sharing the experience."
The group of Goblins roared in anger, destroying everything around them.
"%!$#... (Damned humans, where did they go?)"
"@#!$#...&... (Come out!)"
"Swish!"
A green blade light, without warning, cut across a Goblin's body, without any obstruction.
In an instant, its health bar dropped to zero!
It didn't even have time to react before its body was cut in half.
"!$#... (Who's there!!)"
The other Goblins suddenly became agitated, letting out piercing screams.
"Whoosh!"
A strong gust of wind swept past.
Jiang Yuan appeared among the Goblins, swinging the green scythe in his hand in a wide arc.
Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, like glass being cut, the green blade light swept outwards in an arc, instantly slicing several Goblins in half!
Even without using skills, with his terrifying attributes, any attack could instantly kill this level of small monsters.
"Ding! You killed a Goblin (LV5), gaining +50 experience."
"Ding! You killed..."
The System prompts kept ringing.
"#!$#&... (It's the human demon!)!"
"△■※￡¤￠℃... (You despicable fellow, come out!!)"
The remaining Goblins shrieked, swinging their wooden clubs, which whistled through the air as they struck Jiang Yuan.
"Thud thud thud!!"
Attacks rained down like raindrops.
-1, -1, -1, -1.
Jiang Yuan didn't even need to dodge.
He casually swung the green scythe in his hand, cleanly slicing up the remaining Goblins.
Even the LV8 large Goblin, with over ten thousand health, didn't survive a single strike before its health bar dropped to zero.
Instant kills, all one-hit instant kills!
"More trash Materials."
"The experience is too low."
Looking at his experience bar, which was only 50% full at LV9-LV10, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Second-tier Vicious Beasts still give more experience."
"Sigh..."
He randomly chose a direction and continued deeper into the dungeon...
