Chapter 239: Chapter 75: The Rookie and the Wolf Path

Time rewound to five minutes earlier—

"Fox, are you sure we’re on the right path?"

Mu Qingliu looked at the seemingly endless road ahead and asked with concern.

"Damn, there’s only this one road, how else are we supposed to go?" The speaker was Deceitful Fox, the intelligence pillar of the team, although he often seemed dubious about his own choices.

Just like now.

His words seemed defensive, but his tone was far from firm.

All five people were troubled as they looked at the seemingly endless road ahead.

They were newcomers who had just left Newbie Village, where they had stayed for over three months, training up to Level 15, and had finally made up their minds to leave the village for a town to develop further.

But their encounters along the way somewhat dampened their spirits.

Since leaving Newbie Village, even the little monsters by the roadside posed a great threat to them.

Even with extreme caution, the few battles they stumbled into almost resulted in casualties, nothing like the ’adorable’ monsters back in Newbie Village.

"Why don’t we just go back to Upper Hidden Village? That tiger just now was too scary," Mu Qingliu suggested timidly.

Even though the tiger hadn’t gone on a rampage, it frightened the five of them severely, making everywhere seem fraught with danger.

Jifeng Zhiyin, however, disdainfully said, "What’s there to fear? We have five people here, and didn’t we drive that tiger away?"

Regret Medicine grumbled, "Damn, you can say that because you were shooting arrows from the back, but we were the ones taking the hits up front."

"Whose fault is it that your profession is a gunman? Besides, what else can we do by going back? We’ve already exhausted all the resources in Newbie Village, might as well quit the game if we’re not going to develop in town."

That was indeed a valid point.

Deceitful Fox agreed, "Exactly, the monsters in Newbie Village no longer give any experience; training there won’t amount to much anymore, unless you plan to stay there forever. I’m still looking forward to learning some Spells and advancing to a Magic profession at Level 20."

Hearing this, Mu Qingliu immediately fell silent.

That’s right, wasn’t the purpose of playing this damn game to gain extraordinary powers, to acquire special abilities?

While they could learn some skills in Newbie Village, in reality, those didn’t amount to much.

Her family had a lineage of traditional medicine, but unfortunately, she didn’t inherit much talent in that area. She failed to get into medical school, didn’t manage to thoroughly learn medicine from her father, and in her twenties, she couldn’t even prescribe medicine clearly, often disappointing her family. But if she mastered Alchemy, that would be wonderful. She could simply concoct some elixirs, and upon encountering a patient, a single dose would have them bouncing back to health.

With that, she wouldn’t just continue the medical traditions, she could start her own school.

In the village, she had learned some medical skills and successfully concocted several prescriptions; the golden sore medicine used by the team was mostly made by her. Unfortunately, golden sore medicine wasn’t as effective in reality as in the game, it was simply good medicine for wounds.

Even so, mastering these prescriptions had earned a new level of respect from her family.

If she could master Alchemy, she would have no more regrets.

Sensing the team’s mood growing heavy, Deceitful Fox encouraged, "Don’t think too much, as long as we don’t stray from the main road we shouldn’t encounter any serious dangers. Once we get to town, we can learn Inner Strength and Advanced Skills. Qing Liu, aren’t you always wanting to learn Alchemy? Becoming a goddess doctor would be so cool.

Black and White Chess, haven’t you always wanted to delve into fortune-telling and divination? Just find a Taoist to learn a couple of tricks and you could be a fortune-telling master in reality.

And Jifeng Zhiyin and Regret Medicine, aren’t the two of you aiming to learn Supreme Martial Arts? Once we reach the town, there are all sorts of Martial Arts to learn. What else is there to think about? For these benefits, we should go all in! This is the closest we’ve ever been to changing our fates."

The speech fired everyone up.

Indeed, what were they waiting for if not now?

The five of them set off again, cautiously advancing in a combat formation.

It must be said that these five were sufficiently cautious, with a deep understanding of the game: three gunmen, an archer, and a Flying Knife Master.

They had a lineup that had been honed through long-term coordinated combat: the three gunmen formed a Gun Formation, with two ranged damage dealers in the back, ensuring enemies were killed safely to the greatest extent.

After more than ten minutes of walking, there still was no sign of the town, fortunately, they didn’t encounter any monsters either.

Until they reached a crossroad.

"Be careful, there seems to be someone over there."

The group cautiously approached, only to discover it was a corpse, gnawed on so much that little remained, a gruesome sight.

Mu Qingliu used the Skill [Body Inspection].

System notification: You feel that this body must have just died; the corpse still retains warmth, and the perpetrator is likely nearby.

Mu Qingliu’s heart sank suddenly, and turning swiftly, she saw not far behind a large tree, a giant wolf fixated on them with predatory eyes, with a Wolf Spirit-like creature riding on its back, clad in rough-hewn armor.

Wolf Essence Colonel! Level 18!

"Not good, monster!"

"It’s an Elite Monster!"

"Don’t be afraid, we have many people, we can take on an Elite Monster."

The next second, however, the Wolf Essence Colonel let out a howl and a dozen Wolf Soldiers mounted on giant wolves burst out from the surrounding woods.
