Chapter 419: Chapter 266: The Iron Triangle Combination_1

"Beast race huh..."

Mu You carefully read the skill explanation.

Here, beast race meant that all animals and beast-like races were included, so it should also apply to his summoned creatures, such as the animals persuaded by Little Ya and Little Spider, and so on.

These two abilities were undoubtedly very strong.

As for the Troll War God next to the Witch Doctor, after the Spirit Niche was upgraded, its fourth ability, ’Blood for Blood’, was also unlocked.

The Panda Man and the Troll War God would certainly benefit from the Legendary Witch Doctor’s buff. Together with their combined abilities, they were like an all-rounded trio providing tank, damage, and support roles.

If they could return to their peak physical states, Mu You could imagine what an iron-clad trio they would be!

At this time, the Panda Man was a little dazed, looking at the familiar figures in front of him, and the memories that were almost lost were once again coming to the fore.

After musing for a while, the Panda Man did not approach them to greet because he knew that these two were not the old friends he once knew.

With a sigh, the Panda Man walked to the graves, packed his pot and luggage, tied them to the bamboo stick, shoulder the stick, put on his cape, and prepared to leave.

"Hey Uncle, where are you going?" Mu You quickly approached him as he saw the Panda Man about to leave.

"Just like before, continue to travel the world, to increase my experience." Said the Panda Man.

"So you don’t have a specific destination, do you?" Mu You seized the opportunity to invite him: "Since you’re adventuring around anyway, why not join us?"

"Join you?"

The Panda Man looked at the four of them one by one, finally resting his gaze on Mu You and frowned, "Young man, do you know that in my era, I was one of the best mercenaries on the continent! If you want to hire me, it won’t come cheap!"

"What kind of price?"

"Without a sufficient supply of exquisite wine, I definitely won’t work!" The Panda Man proudly declared.

"Oh, so you just want good wine? It’s a deal! Stick with me, and I’ll ensure that you get enough wine to make you drunk!" Mu You replied.

The Panda Man looked at Mu You surprisingly: "Are you a winemaker?"

"Not yet, but someday I will be." Mu You said.

The Panda Man looked closely at Mu You but didn’t question his statement. Instead, he suddenly reached out and said, "Then let me taste the wine you just brought out... Don’t get me wrong, I just want to help you taste it and see if there are any areas for improvement."

As the Panda Man spoke earnestly, saliva started to flow from the corner of his mouth again.

"That won’t do. This wine is reserved for refining medicine." Mu You argued as his drunk-as-a-lord’s wine bottle was only one third full. Wine refining took time; he didn’t know when the old lady would make the next batch ready. So this last bit was precious to him.

"Refining what? A magic potion? Isn’t that a bit wasteful?" The Panda Man looked at him in shock.

"Isn’t it more wasteful if you just guzzle it down?" Mu You looked back at the Panda Man in surprise and gave him the freshly produced spirit from the ring: "Have this to whet your appetite first, then I’ll find you some good wine."

The Panda Man took the spirit with a bit of distaste but didn’t throw it away. He pulled out a piece of distiller’s grains from his bag, threw it into the bottle, swirled it twice, took a swig, and after satisfying his craving for alcohol, he looked at Mu You and asked, "Where are we going next?"

With the situation here solved, they should definitey focus on leveling up next. The entrance to the training ground, which opened once every nine days, had to be utilized as much as possible.

The best way to level up on the side of the Sunlight Elf was to find Ratman nests. In this way, they could earn experience and reputation at the same time, making the process even more efficient.

Mu You shared his idea with the panda man, asking him for suggestions on where to level up. Since the panda man has been guarding the tomb in the Sunlight Elves territory for over two thousand years, he should be familiar with the nearby terrain.

"Oh, the Ratmen. Hehe, those guys love to reside in damp and dark decomposing lands. Even from ten miles away, I can still smell their rotted stench. Just follow me..."

The panda man seemed well-acquainted with the Ratmen and lead the way, chattering about his past smart encounters with the Ratmen who had once gnawed at his bamboo forest.

[You have entered the Rotten Grassland.]

The four of them followed the panda bear towards the outskirts of the city, quickly entering a swamplike grassland.

It was difficult to traverse this kind of grassland; every step revealed a mud pit. Inside the mud were poisonous insects and corrosive toxins, and animal bones littered the ground. Chocobos couldn’t traverse, so they had to proceed on foot.

Upon entering, Mu You discovered that the panda man wasn’t bluffing. His nose was sensitive, and he had plenty of experience locating Ratmen. Occasionally, he dug up what looked like ordinary mud pits, throwing fiery blocks inside. Soon enough, waves of Ratmen came pouring out.

The four of them were thrilled and immediately started farming like mad.

The panda man unenthusiastically joined in, drinking on his own. As he couldn’t gain experience by defeating monsters, his experience came from adventuring. As long as he kept exploring and travelling, he could recover levels quickly. However, he would occasionally assist by throwing some alcoholic mist.

They all had first-hand experience of how powerful that mist was. The Ratmens touched by the mist instantly became staggering and weakened, reducing their combat power by at least fifty percent.

Further to this, Mu You still had ’Fire Breath’ copied from the panda man. Occasionally, he unleashed the breath attack and, together with the alcoholic mist, could burn a large portion of the rats’ HP in one go resulting in a high farming efficiency!

The pile of Ratmen bodies grew quickly, and everyone’s experience points soared. After a nest was cleared out, the panda man led them to the next spot.

After laying waste to three groups of nests, all four players had gathered over 1000+ experience points.

Lin Hai was the first to reach his limit. After all, he was on Earth, so physical endurance was a factor. The incredibly challenging traverse across the grassland required a significant amount of his lifespan, and hundreds of continuous farming resulted in him logging off early.

Without Lin Hai’s healing support, the difficulty of farming the Ratmen increased significantly.

Thankfully, the Berserk Axe life-drain and the Witch Doctor’s healing aura were still active. They could continue as long as they weren’t reckless. It would be just a little slower.

For the rest of the time, the trio and the panda man set off on their crazy monster-slaying journey on the grassland, slaying all through the night, and into midday and afternoon...

By 4 o’clock in the afternoon, they finally stopped. At this point, they had wiped out many rat nests throughout the grasslands. Upon analysis, Mu You found that they had eradicated fourteen rat nests, racking up a total of 1591 rat kills.

In return, each of them obtained 7978 experience points.

Mu You needed just over 8000 more experience points to advance to level 14. During the last wave of farming, he specifically took down a group of Ratmen on his own, pushing his experience bar past level 14, and proceeded to level up on the spot.

After distributing stat points, his attributes now stood at: Level: 14 (11/40960), Strength: 22, Agility: 44, Intelligence: 66, Constitution: 31, HP: 7100, Magic: 10600.

After reaching level 14, he now requires 40000 experience points to reach level 15!

If he maintains his current rate, he will need four more farming sessions, or at least another month, to level up to 15.

Mu You hesitated at this moment, debating whether to use his Book of Energy. He could immediately level up to 15 and instantly evolve into an advanced player.

However, after careful consideration, he decided against it.

Using the book now only adds 40000 experience points. While it is a significant amount, theoretically, he could reach that in about a month. If he has any fortuitous encounters in the meantime, the time could be even shorter.

The Book of Energy would be better saved for reaching level 20, he concluded.
