Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Leveling in the Wilderness
Translator: Inschain Editor: Inschain
The surrounding players were in awe as they witnessed this scene. Their eyes widened as they saw the Legendary calmly waving his staff, casting fireball skills one after another, hitting and instantly killing the Venom Snakes.
As time passed, the Venom Snakes were killed one after another. The players stood there, gasping for breath, their faces filled with disbelief.
A few minutes passed quickly, and all seven Venom Snakes were defeated, and the players finally regained their senses.
The two Warriors in the team saw that all the poisonous snakes behind them had died. They couldn't help but sit on the ground, wiping the cold sweat off their faces and sighing in relief.
The girl's face was filled with excitement as a white light flashed, indicating that she had reached Level 4.
Harry didn't rest. After collecting the seven Poison Elements, he stored all the dropped copper coins in his bag. At the same time, he took the opportunity to let his Mana slowly recover.
The three players didn't have any objections to Harry collecting all the copper coins dropped by the monsters. They didn't even bother to check what items had dropped. In their minds, they had already accepted that everything belonged to Harry.
To them, it was already great enough that the Legendary had chosen their team and brought them to level up. Compared to other teams, they felt incredibly lucky. Seeing the envious looks from the surrounding players, they couldn't help but feel proud.
Once the team's status was replenished, the two Warriors didn't waste any time and went to lure more monsters.
...
After just half an hour, Harry had collected all 20 Poison Elements. Of course, although Harry's damage output was significant, it was mainly due to the effective monster luring by the two Warriors. If Harry had to kill the snakes one by one alone, it would have surely wasted a lot of time.
In addition, the two Warriors in the team had also reached Level 4.
As for Harry, a venomous snake worth 30 experience points, obtained 600 experience points and some copper coins after killing 20 of them. Looking at the 43 copper coins in his backpack, Harry couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all the effort he put in, not only did he not find any good equipment, but he also had very few copper coins received.
Harry left the team after informing the three of them, heading towards the village. His quest was already completed, and there was no need to continue grinding.
However, before leaving, Harry smiled and traded 20 copper coins to them. After all, everyone contributed, and they deserved their share of the reward.
This action immediately excited the three players. They looked at Harry with teary eyes, especially the girl whose gaze towards him was fiery, as if she would do anything for him with just a word.
Although the three of them felt a little regretful about Harry's departure, they didn't dare to persuade him to stay. After all, he had spent half an hour with them, helping them all level up, which was already a great favor.
...
Back in the village, Harry quickly arrived at the equipment shop. He greeted Mr. Holmes, who was holding a glowing object in his hands.
"These are the 20 Poison Elements you wanted," Harry said, taking out the 20 Poison Elements and handing them over to Mr. Holmes.
"Yes, these are the Poison Elements I wanted. Brave warrior, thank you so much," Mr. Holmes said excitedly, his hands trembling as he accepted the Poison Elements.
Ding!
[System Prompt: Quest Completed: Obtain Poison Elements]
[System Prompt: Obtained 100 EXP (Doubled). Obtained 10 copper coins.]"
...
"Is there anything else I can help you with?" Harry asked again after seeing that the quest was completed.
"Warrior, thank you. I don't need any more help." After Mr. Holmes thanked Harry, he quickly started inspecting the Poison Elements.
Harry felt a little depressed when he was told that there was no more quest. Then, he walked out of the equipment shop.
Harry stopped in his tracks and pondered for a while. He felt that it would be too troublesome to go find the village chief to receive another quest. There were many players there, and it would be difficult to squeeze in for a while.
As for the other NPCs, Harry had asked them all when he first entered the game, but there were no available quests to accept.
Considering his well-equipped character, he was fully capable of soloing monsters. Instead of going to the village chief for a quest, he decided to go outside and level up by killing monsters. When most of the players were done with their quests, he could come back and receive new ones from the village chief.
With this plan in mind, Harry turned and walked towards the outskirts of the village.
Harry didn't even bother looking at the low-level monster areas and headed straight into the forest.
Harry had planned to level up here when he arrived at the Venom Snakes area. However, when he looked around, the number of players had increased more than double.
Apart from that, there would be another large number of players rushing over later. After all, the quest issued by Mr. Holmes needed to kill the Venom Snakes.
After pondering for a while, Harry continued walking forward.
After walking for about 10 minutes, Harry suddenly stopped when he saw a swamp not far ahead. He cautiously hid behind a large tree.
Sounds of battle could be heard from the front.
Harry took a closer look and saw a group of players. There were about 30 or more, most likely from the same clan. They were farming monsters together.
Harry couldn't use his Insight skill due to the distance, but he could see that the monsters in the swamp were Carnivorous Plants that were more than 6.5 feet tall.
The most interesting thing was that Harry discovered that the person leading the group was actually the player called LCG-Heaven, who had a quarrel with him before. He stood in the center of the group and continuously commanded everyone to attack the Carnivorous Plants.
Harry pondered for a moment and decided to go around the side to avoid any trouble. After going around the side, Harry continued to move forward.
Along the way, he could see many players from clans and studios. They were forming teams to farm monsters, and those monsters were all high-level. Ordinary players would not dare to come.
Whenever he met players from these clans or studios, Harry would carefully go around them to avoid being discovered.
Harry didn't know how long he had been walking, but when he realized there were no more players around, he stopped and looked around.
There was a lot of grass here, covered with tattered spider webs. Occasionally, a few giant spiders could be seen wandering around.
Observing for a few minutes, Harry noticed that the giant spiders were relatively scattered and not in groups. It was very suitable for him to take on alone.
In silence, Harry used an Insight skill.
[Name: [Normal] Giant Spider]
[Level: 10]
[HP: 300/300]
[Attack: 50]
[Defense: 20]
[Skill: Venom (Spits venom at a specific target, causing continuous HP loss)]
...
After reading the attributes, Harry swallowed nervously and tightened his grip on his staff. He stared at the Giant Spider in front of him and hesitated. He did not make a move but calculated quickly in his mind.
With 50 points of attack, Harry's current HP was 170 points. Leaving aside the Giant Spider's skills, just a few regular attacks would be enough to send him back to town for free.
By utilizing positioning and skill usage while retreating, he could avoid letting the Giant Spider get close for melee attacks. However, the Giant Spider also possessed a venom skill.
Harry didn't have any healing potions on him. If he got hit by a skill, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After all the effort put into acquiring a few pieces of equipment, it would be devastating if he accidentally got killed here. There would be no time for tears then.
