Water is Life
As birds chirped in the blue sky, the newly rising sun illuminated the green land. It was a truly beautiful scene. Inside the dark cave, Lin Xuan finally woke up from a long sleep. He felt his throat dry because last night he devoured 5 rabbit meats, yes, 5 rabbit meats all by himself.
Although he had 11 left, he had to discard them as they tasted bland. Except for the horned rabbit meat. Though not particularly tasty, it was better than the regular rabbit meat. He contemplated for a moment before returning to his senses.
"I've read novels where the more mana a monster has, the tastier its meat! No wonder." he murmured when he remembered last night meal.
Lin Xuan emerged from the cave to search for a river or lake to get water. It's often said that drinking is the primary issue, and eating is the secondary one. That's because without water, someone can only survive up to 4 days, while without food, one can survive for up to 8 weeks as long as there's water intake. So finding water was a top priority for Lin Xuan.
After searching for 3 hours, Lin Xuan finally found a river. He put his head in the water and started drinking like an animal. Indeed, in this other world, freshwater tasted sweet, unlike on Earth, Lin Xuan mused inwardly.
After quenching his thirst, he began to gather wood for the night. Accidentally, he stumbled upon a group of horned rabbits led by a larger horned rabbit. Intrigued by this, Lin Xuan used God Eyes on the bigger horned rabbit.
「Name: Horned Rabbit (Elite)」
「Level: 13」
「HP: 130/130」
「Mana: 120/120」
「Skills: [Swift Movement], [Lethal Headbutt]」
When Lin Xuan saw the status of the larger horned rabbit, he furrowed his brow. The mana possessed by the Elite Horned Rabbit was 3 times that of his own. Moreover, with a group of 13 horned rabbits, it would be a one-sided slaughter. Lin Xuan thought for a moment before internally summoning his Status.
「Name: Lin Xuan」
「Level: 6」
「HP: 25 → 75」
「Mana: 40 → 88」
「Strength: 5 (+12) → 17」
「Agility: 5 (+10) → 15」
「Endurance: 5 (+10) → 15」
「Dexterity: 5 (+10) → 15」
「Intelligence: 5 (+6) → 11」
「Luck: 101」
「Attribute Points: 48 → 0」
「Title: [Divine God Blessing]」
「Skills: [Double Exp], [Double Points], [God Eyes], [Steal Skill (Novice)], [Swift Movement (Novice)]」
Lin Xuan then added 12 points to Strength, 10 points to Agility, 10 points to Endurance, 10 points to Dexterity, 6 points to Intelligence.
(A/N: Luck here isn't Critical Chance, but pure luck)
After finishing allocating attribute points to each ability, Lin Xuan nodded contentedly. Then, he engaged with the group of horned rabbits head-to-head.
The Elite Horned Rabbit sensed Lin Xuan's presence and ordered three other Horned Rabbits to confront him. However, next time, the Elite Horned Rabbit couldn't help but feel furious. Defeating three Horned Rabbits was like fighting insects. The Horned Rabbits attacked consecutively. The first one lay under a tree with its hands severed from its body, the second one had a deep wound in its abdomen, and the third one had its leg severed from its body. Witnessing such a scene would make someone vomit in disgust due to the fresh red blood spattered around.
The Elite Horned Rabbit commanded 10 of its subordinates to face Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan easily swept through the 10 Horned Rabbits, causing even more blood to scatter around. Seeing that all its subordinates were killed by the person in front of it, the Elite Horned Rabbit jumped about a meter high before falling, activating its Swift Movement skill. The skill used by the Elite Horned Rabbit was twice as fast as that of a regular Horned Rabbit.
"Playing Fast-Tag, you're it? Alright, I'll be happy to play along," said Lin Xuan with a smile.
After taking a step with his right foot, Lin Xuan suddenly vanished like a shadow. Although Lin Xuan's Swift Movement skill was slower than the Elite Horned Rabbit's, he still used it to improve the skill to the Intermediate level. After exchanging attacks for 2 minutes, the Elite Horned Rabbit used its Lethal Headbutt skill. The speed of the Lethal Headbutt skill was spine-chillingly fast. Luckily, Lin Xuan had added 10 points to his Agility.
Lin Xuan successfully dodged as the rabbit's horns were about to strike him. The Elite Horned Rabbit used the Lethal Headbutt skill again, but this time Lin Xuan had predicted its movement. When the rabbit's attack was directed at Lin Xuan head, he turned his head to the right to avoid the strike. After evading the Elite Horned Rabbit's attack, Lin Xuan struck right at the rabbit's heart. The Elite Horned Rabbit immediately collapsed to the ground, blood oozing from its mouth.
As before, Lin Xuan used his Steal Skill to steal the Elite Horned Rabbit's skill. A white and black card emerged from the Elite Horned Rabbit, seemingly out of nowhere. Lin Xuan took it and smiled in satisfaction.
"When I defeat a Dragon, will I also get its skills?" Lin Xuan pondered. He didn't use the Lethal Headbutt skill card but instead placed it in his pants pocket. After harvesting so much experience, he leveled up from Level 6 to 7. With each level increase, the required experience points also increase. It was quite challenging to level up. Lin Xuan sighed because his journey in this entirely new world was just the beginning. Whether danger or enjoyment awaited, no one knew.
