Chapter 35 Level 30 Monster

There was someone capable of defeating monsters 30 levels higher! He wondered if it was a team or an individual. If it was an individual, Gu Fei would genuinely admire them. But then he thought again; he seemed to have crossed paths with all the top players in Cloudrise City. He couldn't see any of them possessing the ability to defeat monsters 30 levels higher!

Xi Yao Wu? Piaoliu? These two of the Five Little Strongest were the most likely candidates. And it was very easy to verify. Gu Fei sent a message to each of them, getting straight to the point: "Do you have PK points?"

As expected of the great heroes, PK points were like their eleventh piece of equipment. Both of them replied in unison: "Yes."

Gu Fei immediately became alert: "How many?"

Piaoliu honestly replied with one point. The naturally mischievous Xi Yao Wu, after replying with one point, continued to ask: "Why?"

"Washing off PK points. Afraid of running into acquaintances," Gu Fei replied.

"Tch, if you dare pick me, I'll reap you," Xi Yao Wu retorted.

Gu Fei didn't argue with her. Just to be safe, he shouted in the mercenary channel again. Han Jia Gongzi claimed to never have PK points. Mentioning PK points to him was like giving him a terminal illness. He "ptooed" in the channel and then went silent. The others all said they had no PK points.

The experts didn't ask too many questions, because this wasn't the first time Gu Fei had asked such a question. Ever since the incident where Yu Tian Shen Ming accidentally picked Gu Fei, Gu Fei had been warning the brothers before bounty missions. He reminded everyone to wash off their PK points quickly, otherwise, if they were unlucky enough to get picked, it would be difficult to decide who would cooperate with whom.

Now that he was sure that this peerless expert who could defeat monsters 30 levels higher wasn't one of his friends, Gu Fei headed toward the village with determination.

Over in the woods, Gu Fei could vaguely see several werewolves appearing and disappearing. Parallel World was, after all, a magical game, and it couldn't be without these terrifying monsters. But because it was a full-immersion simulation, players probably needed a certain level of mental fortitude to face these monsters with their bloodthirsty jaws.

The designers agreed that players needed a gradual process. Therefore, the monster levels evolved from low to high toward magical creatures. In simple terms, in Parallel World, you could tell the monster's level by its appearance, give or take. The higher and more powerful the monster, the uglier and more terrifying it looked. To create this evolutionary design, they had initially gone too far. Putting a bunch of cute cats and dogs in the beginner training area led to a wave of criticism from players.

Werewolves often starred in horror movies and were placed at level 70, showing the designers' good intentions.

Gu Fei was still far from the werewolves in the woods and hadn't attracted their attention yet. He checked the coordinates again. The person was definitely in the village. In front of the village was a quiet lake, and a large wooden bridge spanned it, connecting people entering from the mountain road to the village.

Gu Fei walked onto the bridge and headed toward the village. Unexpectedly, after walking more than halfway, two werewolves suddenly appeared from somewhere and swayed on the bridgehead.

Gu Fei had fought werewolves once before at the church in Nightglow Village outside Moonlit Night City. Although it was brief, Gu Fei was clearly no match. If he hadn't met the quest conditions that allowed the werewolves to escape, he would have died under their claws that day.

These were all NPCs in the leveling area, of course, they wouldn't run away after being injured. If he got into a drawn-out battle like this, even though Gu Fei was now ten levels higher than before, he still knew he was no match. Gu Fei was invincible in the game because of his reaction and speed. Unfortunately, these were also the werewolves' strengths. Recalling the werewolves' strength from that day, Gu Fei could already make an accurate assessment. If he was confident in challenging them, he would have come here to level up a long time ago.

Moreover, Gu Fei was only considering a one-on-one situation. Now, there were two werewolves blocking the bridgehead, so there was no need to even mention it. Gu Fei stood in the middle of the bridge for a long time, but the two beasts showed no sign of leaving. Helplessly, Gu Fei had to retreat and go around the lake, which would still allow him to enter the village.

Returning to the other side of the bridge, Gu Fei didn't bother walking the proper path to save time and jumped directly from the bridge to the lakeside below. Just as he landed, he heard a "woof" behind him. Gu Fei quickly dodged to the side, and when he turned around, he saw a werewolf leaping out from under the bridge, pouncing on Gu Fei ferociously.

This werewolf had somehow wandered under the bridge. Gu Fei's vision was blocked by the bridge when he was on it, so he naturally didn't know. Now, jumping off the bridge, he quickly entered the werewolf's attack range, and it launched an attack on Gu Fei without hesitation.

Gu Fei didn't panic. As the werewolf pounced again, he quickly chanted a spell and retreated five meters. The werewolf's claw missed again, and it bared its teeth and continued to chase after him.

Gu Fei, who had originally intended to run away after creating a five-meter distance, suddenly had a thought when he saw the werewolf's skills. Instead of retreating, he advanced, holding the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword and using "Twin Flame Flash" head-on.

The flames burned the werewolf's fur, and it roared even more fiercely, but its skills were still the same. Gu Fei dodged and counterattacked, and he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage. The werewolf's speed was only slightly faster than his. This was why Gu Fei decided to stay and fight it after seeing its skills. But he was also wondering why this werewolf's skills were completely different from the werewolf he fought in Nightglow Village, in terms of both strength and speed.

Most people would think it was because their own strength had increased. But Gu Fei was an expert in this area and made his judgment directly from the opponent's skills, not by comparing them to himself.

Gu Fei forgot that the werewolf he fought in his quest chain wasn't an ordinary werewolf. Adrian used the Fang of the Wolf King to transform into a werewolf lord. Although its strength still couldn't compare to a purebred Wolf King, it was definitely not something that ordinary werewolf lackeys could match. Gu Fei was treating it like a regular werewolf, naturally overestimating the werewolves' strength. This was just another oversight on Gu Fei's part because he didn't pay attention to the game settings.

Although he wasn't at a disadvantage in terms of skills, the werewolf's defense and health were truly terrifying. Gu Fei's strongest move, "Twin Flame Flash," had already been used three times. He could even smell the burning fur, but the werewolf's skills didn't weaken at all. It continued to roar and tear and bite at Gu Fei. Saliva dripped from its mouth, and spittle flew everywhere, which was disgusting.

Gu Fei was helpless. He couldn't use Blink to create distance now and could only continue to patiently deal with the werewolf.

If this continued, the werewolf not only showed no signs of defeat but also gradually recovered from the burns inflicted by "Twin Flame Flash." The smell of burning also gradually disappeared.

This was... werewolf regeneration!

Gu Fei suddenly realized why the werewolf hadn't died after being attacked for so long and was getting even more energetic. It wasn't that the werewolf had immense health or defense, but because of its amazing self-healing ability. Gu Fei's Dark Night Flowing Light Sword was only a level 70 piece of equipment, and the werewolf was also a level 70 monster. Although the sword was excellent, Gu Fei didn't add intelligence or strength, relying solely on the attack power from the equipment. No matter what, it wouldn't be the kind of "abnormal level" that would terrify players in front of a level 70 werewolf.

Three "Twin Flame Flashes" failed to kill it, and the physical attack of the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword, which Gu Fei hadn't fully activated due to coefficient issues, really wasn't anything. Gu Fei had finally encountered the most helpless situation: "The health I'm cutting off isn't even as much as it's regenerating."

In this situation, he couldn't kill it, and he had no chance to run. Anyone else would have waited to be killed by the monster. But the werewolf had encountered Gu Fei, who had completed the Nightglow Village werewolf quest chain and happened to have a weapon that could restrain werewolves: the Holy Baptism of Flames.

The Baptism of Flames was originally an outdated weapon that was less than level 30. Of course, there were other weapons with higher levels of attached magic attack. Gu Fei hadn't discarded it because it had been blessed by the village chief during the quest and had become "holy," possessing the special ability to "prevent regeneration."

This function was usually useless, but it was the perfect counter against werewolves.

When Gu Fei realized this, he quickly sheathed the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword and drew the Baptism of Flames.

The attack power of the Baptism of Flames was even more pathetic than the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword. Its physical attack alone might not even break the werewolf's defense. Its main strength was its attached magic attack.

But the Baptism of Flames showed unstoppable momentum in front of the werewolf. A slash would immediately leave a wound on the werewolf's body, which also looked like a burn, but the burn faintly glowed with silver light, which was much more brilliant than the burns caused by fire. Then, the attached magic attack would ignite a fire on the wound, and the smell of burning was even stronger than before. The werewolf was clearly suffering much more pain than when it was attacked by the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword. Its screams were even more miserable.

Gu Fei showed no mercy, and each slash was faster than the last. Before long, he knocked the werewolf to the ground.

Gu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this werewolf wasn't that strong, but it was mainly because he wasn't killing it in the right way. Judging from the werewolf's regeneration speed, even if a level 70 player came here to level up without a method to restrain it, it would probably be a big problem.

But speaking of which, the experience was really amazing, as expected of defeating a monster 30 levels higher. Gu Fei was now full of confidence. After replenishing his health and mana, he returned to the bridge and walked toward the two werewolves at the bridgehead with determination.

In the Parallel World operations department, the monitoring team was happily announcing to Ye Xiaowu: "President Ye, that guy you're always paying attention to defeated a werewolf 30 levels higher today."

From the monitoring team's perspective, Gu Fei's actions didn't violate any rules. But this guy had left Ye Xiaowu, the designer, feeling helpless and bewildered. It was truly interesting.
