Green Wolf

"Mu, are you sure we can take this thing down? This monster could one-shot us. Just look at its power. I only have 160 HP. Even if it doesn't kill me in one hit, it'll definitely kill me in three."

At that moment, Mu Lan grabbed the Advanced Alchemist Robe from her inventory to equip it.

[Advanced Alchemist Robe]

Level: 0

Defense: +50

Movement Speed: +5%

20% success rate in alchemy production.

10% chance of producing extra in alchemy.

Mu Lan equipped the Advanced Alchemist Robe immediately. The effects were impressive. The item gave a direct +50 to defense, raising Mu Lan's HP from 80 to 180.

"Oooo, Mu. Your robe looks awesome. And what about me? I'll just stand here in these rags while you go equip fancy gear. Don't mind me at all."

"Beng, this is the Advanced Alchemist Robe. I went through alchemist training to get it. I wish I had brought some materials with me; I could have made potions, and we could hunt more easily. But I'll make them next time."

"Alright, now listen closely, Beng. We can take this down in about 5 minutes if you follow my instructions precisely. First, you'll go up and attack the Green Wolf with your mace. Then, step back 10 paces. When the wolf comes after you, I'll attack it, drawing its focus to me. Then, you'll attack again, step back 10 paces, and we'll keep repeating this. It should take about 5 minutes to kill the monster."

"Okay, Mu. Got it. I'll attack, step back 10 paces, then you'll attack. When it reaches you, I'll attack again and step back 10 paces. Then you'll attack again. Did I understand that right?"

"Yes, exactly. Ready to start?"

"Ready."

Beng Zeng, with his mace in one hand and Paladin shield in the other, approached the Green Wolf and swung his mace at it.

The damage he dealt to the wolf was 2. He calmly started to retreat. With each step, the wolf's attack missed. Everything was so precise that even the slightest mistake would mean the wolf's attack would hit its target. Just as he took the tenth step, Mu Lan began her attack.

The wolf's focus was still on Beng Zeng, and it attacked again.

The wolf's focus then shifted to Mu Lan. As she slowly retreated, she continued to attack.

When the Green Wolf reached Mu Lan, Beng Zeng ran towards it and continued attacking with his mace to draw the focus back onto himself.

Once the wolf's focus was fully on Beng Zeng again, he retreated. The Green Wolf now had 458 HP left. And they had managed to do this in just 10 seconds. At this rate, it seemed they might kill it in less than 5 minutes.

When the Green Wolf reached Beng Zeng again, Mu Lan immediately attacked. The wolf's attacks had no effect on these two. Their coordination was so perfect that anyone watching would have applauded their performance.

For about 2 more minutes, Mu Lan and Beng Zeng continued to work in harmony, reducing the Green Wolf's HP. The monster was down to 50 HP.

When the monster turned back to Mu Lan, Beng Zeng, as usual, picked up his mace and began attacking again. Just before they drained the monster's HP entirely, Mu Lan told Beng Zeng, "You need to make the final blow. You have to kill the monsters for the Paladin Spirit quest." She then attacked the monster one last time, leaving it with just 3 HP.

"Go on, you can do it. Just three more hits, and the monster will be dead."

With the monster's focus on Beng Zeng, he pulled out his mace and attacked.

This time, the monster retaliated.

-80

Beng Zeng was stunned by the monster's attack. Thanks to the advantages and buffs of being a Paladin, he managed to block part of the monster's damage. After recovering from the initial shock, he made one final attack. The Green Wolf collapsed and died on the spot, and a notification window appeared on the screen.

Ding!

[You have killed the Green Wolf.]

You hunted a monster of a higher level than yourself. Since the monster was much stronger than you, you gained more experience than usual.

You gained 10 Experience.

"Mu, I gained 10 Experience. How much did you get?"

"Same here. See, we did it. But it's still a long way to level up. And you'll need to kill at least 20 more to complete your quest."

"I can see that my experience bar barely moved. At this rate, I think we'd have to kill 500 to level up."

[Experience: 10/5000]
