The Elite Devouring Mushroom
ding… ding… ding…
"Liu Yang, congratulations on reaching level 2"
"You received 1 attribute point"
These two messages appeared on the bracelet when the fifth Devouring Mushroom was defeated.
The device had the power to calculate the experience received by the user from the place where he was located. Unfortunately, this bracelet system was a little uncertain in certain unknown locations because they were too dangerous to map and update in the system.
So it was normal to have some glitches.
For those at the beginning of the journey, this was the best device possible.
"One attribute point… I think I'll put in strength to improve my attacks and increase the time I can walk. The most amazing thing about leveling off is that all the tiredness went away and my body got stronger." Liu Yang marveled at the leveling effects.
That way, he could do many things an adult could do.
When the leveling took place, all the energy spent on wandering the forest and attacking was recovered as if by magic, at the same time, his body was strengthened a little with the level increase.
The scene was like a leveling character in MMO games.
All stats were improved, but in the world system, it couldn't be seen, only felt by people. The only stats shown were the three basic attributes and skills.
…
Walking around the forest for a while longer, Liu Yang heard some sounds of fighting.
clang!!! clang!!!
The sound was of something heavy hitting something heavy.
As he walked to the site, he saw a chubby young man holding a large, heavy sled hammer with both hands and attacking a Devouring Mushroom, but he had some heavy and bloody bruises around his body.
The Devouring Mushroom's appearance was different from the Devouring Mushrooms the Liu Yang had seen before.
The creature fighting the chubby young man was twice the size of normal Devouring Mushrooms and had two strong arms sticking out of its sides, which was a bit of a strange thing to see.
(An Elite Devouring Mushroom!!!! That fatty Hai has found an Elite Devouring Mushroom. He is very lucky and unlucky at the same time. These things have a power several times greater than a normal Devouring Mushroom. Even someone at level 5 would have a hard time dealing with such a thing.) Liu Yang recognized the fatty young man. He was one of the students at the school.
clang!!! clang!!!
Whenever Lin Hai attacked with the heavy mallet, the Elite Devouring Mushroom would attack with its fists and the collision of the attacks would send him backward.
The strength between the two sides was very obvious.
The test started less than an hour ago, no one would be able to level at least five levels in such a short time.
(I need to help that idiot, otherwise, he will die. Why didn't he run away when he saw the Elite Devouring Mushroom? That fat belly must have stopped him from doing that) Liu Yang was having random thoughts about what could have happened because Lin Hai didn't run away for his own life.
The two had known each other for almost sixteen years, and even though they weren't close friends, they would still be considered longtime colleagues in the same village.
(What can I do to save that fat idiot?) All kinds of plans pop into his mind about what to do.
As he looked around to see what had something to do with the Elite Devouring Mushroom, the thought of its weaknesses also popped into his mind. Liu Yang began to formulate a plan for this.
His slow, silent footsteps skirt the area to the other side.
The objective was to get behind the Elite Devouring Mushroom without him noticing.
Lin Hai also didn't notice that someone was hiding in the bushes around him, his attention was focused on the fight against the Elite Devouring Mushroom.
If anything goes wrong during the fight, he could die. So any distraction was a bad thing.
Liu Yang managed to sneak into the nearest bush behind the Elite Devouring Mushroom, his next step was to climb a tree.
His opponent's size was twice his size, so he couldn't hit the mushroom head without being at a greater height or knocking the creature down.
The first option was easier than the second because there were a lot of trees around. Also, neither of them had enough strength to take down the Elite Devouring Mushroom.
The only option left was the first.
"I think the branches of this tree will serve as a springboard." Liu Yang looked at the thick branches covered in green leaves that could serve as camouflage while he was climbing.
The sword was untied and sheathed again at his waist.
Climbing a tree using only one hand was extremely difficult.
"..." Liu Yang managed to climb to a considerable height in the tree before hanging on to one of the branches.
His view from above the mushroom's head was somewhat frightening because there were some strange patterns drawn.
(I just hope this doesn't do anything wrong...)
The information he and the other students had about the creatures around the forest came from the elders, so they need to trust that to do something.
Lin Hai and the Elite Devouring Mushroom were having a frantic and heavy fight.
The blows given by both sides were slow but strong and had a great impact.
poff... poff...
The creature jumped up and down at every turn as if it couldn't help but do so.
Liu Yang waited for the right moment to jump with his sword down.
(NOW!!!) He mentally screamed and jumped.
The short sword's blade was turned downwards with the intention of piercing the Elite Devouring Mushroom's head.
