Chapter 29

However...

But just as Luo Chenyu wanted to swing the beginner's sword again.

The beginner's sword, full of notches, suddenly snapped.

Only then did he realize—the beginner's sword's durability was gone!

It was just a beginner's sword...

Luo Chenyu curled his lip, tossed the sword hilt in his hand aside carelessly, and charged at the Forest Wolf gnawing on his shield with a great slap, blasting it flying!

-52!

"Awooo!!"

The Demonized Forest Wolf shook its head, its young heart deeply wronged.

Spring had passed, but the blazing heat of summer had arrived. It and its girlfriend were in this shady thicket, working hard for the next litter of wolf cubs.

And then a professional showed up, didn't bother to tell right from wrong, and just slashed at it right away.

Then, taking advantage of its unpreparedness, another great slap!

I may not be human, but you really are a dog!

Instinctively, it let out a furious roar and began summoning its companions not far away.

However...

This was where the nightmare began.

It saw that professional reveal a ferocious grin, and then... and then there was no then!

In Luo Chenyu's vision.

-1956!

-2068!

-2055!

A string of damage numbers exceeding two thousand popped up, clearing out all the Forest Wolves nearby.

Such a terrifying burst had already surpassed the vast majority of 1st-revolution professionals.

"Perhaps, it's time to go look for monsters above level 10."

Luo Chenyu deliberated for a moment, deciding to spare these "pitiful" Forest Wolves.

However...

The next moment, Luo Chenyu was bewildered.

The only problem was—he was lost!

"Head east, or turn back the way I came and find the road home?"

Before Luo Chenyu lay only these two paths.

After a moment of contemplation.

Luo Chenyu decided it didn't matter—the general direction was right, as long as he made it home before sunset.

He pressed on.

The dense jungle and weeds blocked his forward progress.

And at this point, he no longer had the beginner's sword, so he could only summon the 【Giant Bear War Shield】 to "slash through thorns and brambles."

"Strange, why can't I see a single monster?"

Just as Luo Chenyu was puzzled.

"ROAR!!!"

A heaven-shaking, earth-frightening beast's roar came from the distance. At the same time, a terrifying gust of wind swept in, sending countless branches, leaves, and weeds flying.

The sudden change.

Nearly knocked Luo Chenyu off his feet. He could only drive the 【Giant Bear War Shield】 diagonally into the ground and huddle behind it, shielding himself from the foul-smelling gale.

What kind of fierce beast could it be?

Even if he had never eaten pork, he had at least seen a pig run...

In an instant.

He was certain that a terrifying fierce beast lay ahead.

And not just any fierce beast—a maddened one!

"Take a look?"

The crazy thought surfaced in his mind, and Luo Chenyu had to shake his head hard to extinguish this absurd idea.

Stay safe!

Don't go all out!

He did indeed have a brute's temperament, but he wasn't stupid either. "Try it and you'll die"—only a ghost would choose to charge in recklessly.

The gale continued, its tremendous force making Luo Chenyu's arms begin to ache.

When the 【Steel Shield】 on his body disappeared, he was horrified to discover that his HP was actually slowly dropping—five or six points of damage every second.

He hurriedly reactivated the skill.

Determined to stay safe!

One second!

Two seconds!

At this moment, Luo Chenyu felt every second stretch into a year.

Suddenly.

A notification chime sounded before his eyes.

"Ding— your equipment 【Giant Bear War Shield】 has met the advancement conditions. Do you wish to advance it?"
