Decreased Prey, Has Luck Worsened?
The blazing sun began its slow descent westward.
Within the Tob Forest, the light visibly faded, gradually darkening the surroundings.
After evading the pursuing Ogres, Tang Zheng immediately sought out a sparsely wooded area with low shrubs to regroup.
This environment offered better visibility, allowing him to spot approaching threats, especially the large Ogres, with ample warning.
"Minor Wound Treatment!"
A gentle, white light emanated from Tang Zheng's hand, then merged into his body.
Almost instantly, minor cuts on his face and body healed at a visibly rapid pace.
His injuries appeared superficial, but in the wilderness, such wounds could easily fester and become infected if left untreated.
According to the "Rock" team's survival experience, this was the most dangerous situation.
Fortunately, a single cast of "Minor Wound Treatment" was enough to heal the wounds.
Tang Zheng clearly felt a warm current flow through his limbs, instantly alleviating the stuffiness in his chest.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Why would the Ogres band together?"
Tang Zheng's face showed a hint of displeasure as he pondered, puzzled.
He knew that as he slaughtered more and more Goblins, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Ogres in the forest, since Goblins were a backup food source for them.
But the current situation...
Was clearly not enough to warrant the Ogres' attention.
"Could there be a special individual among the Goblins, or the Ogres?" The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.
The other world was different from a game; in a game, all individuals of a race were the same, but in a real world like this, it was normal for individuals within a race to have differences.
Although it didn't appear in the anime, that didn't mean it wasn't possible.
As the saying goes, one can't fight against many! One or two Ogres weren't a concern, but when the number of Ogres increased, the situation would become like what just happened.
Although his physical attack was high, his physical defense was too low. If he got hit a few more times, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"I need to be more careful in my next actions." Tang Zheng murmured to himself.
As the sun set.
Tang Zheng followed his usual routine, finding a large tree to climb, donning his Black Robe to blend into the darkness and make himself harder to spot.
Late at night!
Tang Zheng was in a light sleep when his ears twitched.
Rustle...
Scuttle...
The faint sound of something lightly stepping on the grass and leaves on the ground, gradually approached the tree Tang Zheng was in.
Already half-asleep, Tang Zheng immediately woke up, but he didn't open his eyes, maintaining his sleeping posture.
The jungle was bustling at night.
It was normal for wild beasts or Magical Beasts to pass by, and he had encountered it many times before.
The reason Tang Zheng didn't open his eyes to observe was that in this dark environment, unless they were very close,
It was impossible to clearly see creatures in the dark with human vision.
After a while.
The faint footsteps paused, the sound disappearing directly below the tree Tang Zheng was in, but soon the footsteps resumed and gradually faded away.
Tang Zheng's breathing returned to normal, and he continued to doze.
Although he was in a light sleep all night, in the environment of the Tob Forest, there were more than twelve hours of darkness every day.
With the extended sleep time, he didn't feel sleepy or even mentally exhausted.
The next day.
Warm sunlight filtered through the leaves, once again showering the earth.
Tang Zheng flipped over and jumped down from the tree, stowing the Black Robe draped over him into his Item Box, and began his daily routine.
While munching on rye bread, he started searching for Goblins and Magical Beasts! Time slowly passed.
From the sun's high ascent to its westward descent.
Tang Zheng raised the Iron Sword in his hand, made a mark on a large tree, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.
"My luck is really bad today, I only encountered ten Goblins," Tang Zheng complained with a bit of a headache.
These Goblins were the kind that didn't belong to a group.
Of course, besides Goblins, he also encountered a few Magical Beasts and quite a few wild animals.
Snakes, for example, were quite common. Tang Zheng even had several three-to-four-meter-long snake corpses stored in his Item Box.
However, ordinary wild animals gave too little Experience Points, and as for Magical Beasts, he encountered a half-meter-long giant beetle, but unfortunately, it got away.
Although these Magical Beasts gave a lot of Experience Points, it was only about the level of the total Experience Points given by three or four Goblins, but killing them was much more troublesome than killing Goblins.
Tang Zheng had indeed been enjoying killing Goblins lately, after all, one sword per Goblin was easy and not troublesome. If he was lucky enough to encounter a Goblin group and followed them back, he could get a large wave of Experience Points.
In the following days.
The number of Goblins Tang Zheng encountered was still not high. He even killed quite a few ordinary wild animals that he had been too lazy to kill before.
After all, before this, Tang Zheng could kill about 30 Goblins every day, and usually get around "500-600" Experience Points per day.
Now, the number of Goblins he encountered was low, and sometimes even in the single digits.
This made Tang Zheng feel a little irritable.
Although he had killed a lot of Goblins during this time, it was still not much compared to the Goblins that caused a lot of trouble on the border of the entire Re-Estize Kingdom every year.
Having not encountered a decent number of Goblins for several days in a row, Tang Zheng could only attribute it to his bad luck.
Lower Wind Moon.
June 16th.
Tang Zheng came to this world on May 16th, and it had been exactly a month now.
He entered the Tob Forest on June 2nd, and had been in the forest for half a month now.
Perhaps it was because it was the anniversary of his one-month crossing.
Tang Zheng's luck suddenly became much better today. The Goblins, which he hadn't been able to find for several days, started popping up.
The Iron Sword in his hand had naturally been thirsty for a long time, and in one day, he killed 21 of them, and his Experience Points increased by a large margin.
Experience Points: 2620/5000
Moreover.
Tang Zheng discovered that the number of Goblins in this area was obviously a bit high, and there was likely a large Goblin group nearby.
Night.
Swish, swish
As some kind of wild animal passed under the big tree where Tang Zheng was, its body rubbed against the bushes, making a slight sound.
Tang Zheng leaned against the tree trunk, his head resting on his arms, his left foot casually crossed over his right foot, and he didn't pay much attention to the movement under the lush branches.
The Odor Removal spell was enough to completely remove all the smells from his body, and even the most sensitive wild animals couldn't smell him.
