Tove Great Forest.
Within the lush, deep forest, the sounds of various animals such as beasts and birds echoed from time to time.
In the dim environment, the entire forest exuded an unsettling and dangerous aura.
However! Faced with the great forest, which was full of dangers for ordinary people, both Tang Zheng and the Small Evil Spirit Dog showed comfortable expressions.
"Woof." The Bone Chain on the Small Evil Spirit Dog's body swayed non-stop, its beastly eyes full of excitement.
"It feels more comfortable here."
Tang Zheng even opened his arms and took a deep breath of the moist air, filled with a hint of freshness and the scent of decay from the jungle.
The matters concerning Renners and Imina had been arranged, and there was no need for other arrangements in the short term, so after leaving the Royal Capital.
Tang Zheng came to the Tove Great Forest again. The main purpose this time was naturally to increase his level.
The Katz Plains, where a large number of undead creatures existed, was also a good place to level up, but the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Bahharuth Empire were currently at war.
It was not suitable for leveling up.
Of course, in addition to this, Tang Zheng also wanted to explore the Great Swamp and the Angelicia Mountain Range behind the Tove Great Forest.
"There are only 2 Tier 3 Angel Scrolls left, and there hasn't been time to make Tier 4 Angel Scrolls."
Tang Zheng shook his head: "Even the Mana reserves in the 'Death Orb' are only about 40 points of Mana left."
"In addition to leveling up, replenishing scrolls and storing Mana are also top priorities."
Whoosh! Tang Zheng raised his eyes, an Iron Sword appeared in his palm, and he threw it forward with a backhand.
Thud! The force of the Iron Sword easily penetrated the branches and leaves in front, pinning a rabbit ten meters away to the ground.
He lifted his foot.
The 'Forest Traversal' Magic Item hanging on Tang Zheng's arm flickered with Mana, and the lush branches and shrubs in the forest automatically parted, creating a path.
He walked to the rabbit.
Tang Zheng pulled the Iron Sword out of the ground. The rabbit's hind legs, still hanging on the tip of the sword, were still twitching reflexively, but its head had been pierced and it was dead.
"In the forest, there is no need to disguise as a Magic Caster."
Tang Zheng turned his wrist, flicked the blade, and threw the rabbit hanging on the tip of the sword to the Small Evil Spirit Dog beside him.
"Woof."
The Small Evil Spirit Dog immediately opened its mouth and bit the flying rabbit in one bite, swallowing the seven- or eight-pound fat rabbit in two bites.
"No Experience Points."
Tang Zheng glanced at the stats panel, and the thought flashed through his mind: "As the level increases, the Experience provided by low-level creatures will indeed have a certain decay."
He remembered very clearly.
When he was leveling up to level 20, the last bit of Experience was provided by killing a rabbit.
This situation was also expected.
When he first entered the Tove Great Forest, he killed a lot of bugs, and those bugs did not provide Experience.
It can be seen.
The acquisition of Experience Points is not only related to the level of the killed creature, but also to his own level.
[Experience Bar:30998/10000]
"More than 30,000 Experience, I wonder if I can raise 2 levels in one go." Tang Zheng suppressed the slightly restless emotions in his heart.
This was related to whether the Special Class he had previously speculated could be successfully acquired.
The High-Tier Job 'Cursed Knight' did not consume Experience Points, and was forcibly raised to level 3 by absorbing Curse energy.
This caused the upper limit of the Experience Bar to not increase.
This method of increasing levels allowed Tang Zheng to see a possibility of reducing the huge Experience demand in the later stages.
He withdrew his gaze from the stats panel.
"In any case, let's proceed according to the plan." Tang Zheng raised his head, looking at the deep forest before him.
His current location was the center of the Tove Great Forest, the territory of the Forest Sage Hamsuke, one of the three great dominators and a Southern Magical Beast.
Of course.
It didn't have the name "Hamsuke" yet; that was a name Bone King would give it in the future.
A thought flickered in Tang Zheng's mind, and he raised his arm, waving it forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Accompanied by five muffled thuds.
The corpses of five Ogres were thrown out of the Item Box, crashing onto the ground.
"Undead Manipulation," Tang Zheng chanted softly.
Invisible Mana fluctuations spread out, enveloping the corpses of the five Ogres. In the blink of an eye, the five Ogres swayed and stood up from the ground.
Immediately after.
Under Tang Zheng's control, the five Ogres began to move forward in unison. The intricate forest environment and the obstruction of branches and leaves were easily smashed through by the Ogres' strong bodies.
Rustle!
The huge commotion startled a series of birds.
Along the way, some wild beasts, seeing the Ogres rashly intruding into their territory, immediately launched attacks, but they were quickly killed by the Ogres' corpses.
«Experience gained: 37»
«Experience gained: 51»
«......»
«Experience gained: 29»
After a quick glance at the Experience Points gained, he looked at the green, maze-like forest world before him.
The once lively jungle suddenly became quiet, with only occasional bird calls audible in the distance.
Tang Zheng wore a serious expression, constantly observing his surroundings: "Pay attention, listen for any approaching movements."
The territory of the Forest Sage Hamsuke was indeed more complex than the territory of the Ogres.
Goblins eat anything.
"Woof," the Small Evil Spirit Dog followed closely beside Tang Zheng, perking up its ears and letting out a low growl.
As the five Ogres advanced roughly, the commotion they created grew louder and louder, and the air became even quieter.
Even the sounds of insects seemed to disappear.
These animals were clearly not afraid of Tang Zheng's group intruding, but rather afraid of attracting a more terrifying existence in the forest.
Rustle! Suddenly, a clamorous sound came from the forest in the northwest direction, but it quickly disappeared and returned to silence.
"Awoo!"
The Small Evil Spirit Dog sensed something immediately, its fur standing on end, and couldn't help but let out a howl.
"Is it coming?" Tang Zheng's eyes lit up.
He summoned five Ogres and made such a big commotion not to gain Experience Points, but to lure out the Forest Sage Hamsuke.
The Tove Great Forest was so large that even with a Magic Item like "Forest Traversal," gaining Experience Points was still too slow.
In addition.
The last massacre of a large number of Goblins caused quite a stir, and even the Adventurer's Guild sent people to investigate, which served as a reminder to him.
At least for now, while his strength was not enough to deal with most troubles, Tang Zheng didn't want to attract too much attention in this regard.
Rustling.
Swish.
The sound of a huge creature quickly sliding across the ground, rubbing against the grass and branches, could be heard.
Strangely.
The sound didn't come from a fixed direction, but rather began to emanate from all around Tang Zheng, with his position as the center.
"Surrounding me?"
"This speed is a bit too fast!"
Tang Zheng gripped his Iron Sword tightly, his legs spread slightly and lowered, his eyes constantly moving with the direction of the sound.
As expected!
Whether in terms of level or overall strength, Forest Sage Hamsuke, as a Magical Beast, was stronger than the other two forest dominators.
But he had to get that Magic, only then would his next idea work.
Boom! Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past from the left, and half of the Ogre on the far left disappeared, collapsing to the ground.
Immediately after!
The massive black shadow flashed continuously through the dense forest. In just a few breaths, all five Ogres scattered in front were dealt with, and broken, bloody pieces of flesh were scattered all over the ground.
"Howl..."
The Small Evil Spirit Dog shrank its head, lowered its body, and trembled all over as it nearly crawled on the ground.
"For Forest Sage Hamsuke to move so quickly in a dense forest environment with that kind of size, without causing large-scale destruction to the lush trees..."
"It probably also possesses a similar ability like 'Forest Traversal'."
The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.
More troublesome than expected! In the anime and novels, Forest Sage Hamsuke didn't display much magical ability, but it actually revealed eight magical patterns on its body, similar to racial talents.
Hmm?!
Tang Zheng's gaze suddenly froze, and he quickly looked straight ahead, only to see a silver-white figure standing about twenty meters away from him.
Due to the obstruction of trees and branches between them, he could only vaguely see the other's massive size.
Tang Zheng took the lead in grabbing the Bone Chain on the Small Evil Spirit Dog and threw it behind him, letting it escape the battlefield.
Bang! The silver-white figure moved.
Even though there were dense trees and shrubs in between, these plants didn't seem to provide any obstruction at all, as if they didn't exist.
In a breath.
The massive silver-white figure turned into a shadow, enveloping Tang Zheng, and at the same time, a sharp, piercing sound exploded in the air.
