The Crow Claw Warrior's attack speed was truly fast after using the Berserk skill, his dual sabers slashing and chasing Chu Tian.
Chu Tian leaped, flying over his head, and unleashed Shred, Claw, and Aerial Slash.
-82!
-35!
Upon landing, he whipped his tail, Shredding.
-123! A critical hit.
The Crow Claw Warrior cried out and fell to the ground.
Picking up a copper coin from the ground, he went into stealth and crept towards another one.
He had heard in his previous life that the quest item for the Owl Beast transformation had a drop rate of one in five hundred. This meant he would have to defeat an unknown number of Crow people to complete the quest. With good luck, it might drop next, but with bad luck, it could take a long time. With his game time for the day about to end, he wondered if he could finish it.
Fortunately, the experience points given by the Crow people were not bad. It should also be part of a scaling mechanism. This Crow person alone gave him 120 experience points.
There was no competition for monsters here, so grinding for experience was quite good.
After defeating a few more Crow people, the quest item still hadn't dropped, and he gradually entered deeper into the nest.
Just as he was moving stealthily towards his next target, there was a sudden commotion from deep within the nest.
Chu Tian looked in the direction of the sound. In the distance, a purple-pink leopard was running towards him, followed by a Crow Warrior. A little further back, two Crow Warlocks were also in pursuit.
Were there other Druids here? And a female leopard at that?
While Chu Tian was momentarily stunned, the white-pink leopard ran past him, luring away the Crow person he was about to attack. This Druid was clearly a little flustered. Although the melee Crow Warrior couldn't catch up to her, the ranged Crow Warlocks were continuously casting instant curses on her.
This Druid's control was actually quite good. If she hadn't lured away the monster he was targeting, she would have almost killed the other Crow Warrior on her own.
However, with two Crow Warriors who had both activated Berserk, she didn't dare to stop attacking.
Seeing that her health bar was only at one-third, Chu Tian thought, "Since we're both Druids, fellow unfortunate souls, I might as well lend a hand!"
He went into stealth, moving behind one of the Crow Warlocks, and initiated with two Shreds.
-95!
-135! A critical hit.
The Crow Warlock's health was reduced to a sliver. It seemed that magic-class professions had significantly lower health and defense than Crow Warriors.
He followed up with a Claw attack, and the Warlock immediately fell, not dropping anything.
The pink leopard also paused when she realized someone was there. She was almost killed by the two warriors chasing her, her health dropping sharply. She turned and continued to run.
This time, she didn't run straight outside but circled around Chu Tian.
Seeing this, Chu Tian nodded inwardly, knowing he hadn't helped the wrong person.
If she had continued to run, he might not have helped her fight anymore.
Because if she kept running, the monsters would disengage and return to their original path, making Chu Tian their target on the return route, and they would all attack him.
If she maintained combat status and circled around with the monsters, Chu Tian wouldn't draw aggro if he didn't attack. He could then pick them off one by one and kill the monsters.
Her actions showed she wasn't a selfish person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have cared if someone helped her fight the monsters, she would have just disengaged and focused on her own survival.
Looking at her health, the Warlocks were the biggest threat. The Warlocks kept casting curses, which could slowly wear her down.
Chu Tian sprinted and caught up to another Warlock, pouncing on it and biting down on the Crow Warlock's neck.
He had accumulated five energy stars from his previous fights, so he decided to test the damage of Ferocious Bite. These monsters were much better than the pus-filled zombie corruption monsters outside; at most, they would give him a mouthful of fur.
"Ding... Ferocious Bite, Average completion! +2 Proficiency!"
-89!
Chu Tian cursed inwardly. The damage was about the same as Shred, but it was his first time using it, and "Average" completion was acceptable.
The completion levels were: Poor, Average, Good, Perfect, and Extreme. Extreme could deal exceptionally high damage, exceeding the skill's maximum attack power by more than double. Such extreme maneuvers were what professional players pursued in the later stages. Being able to execute twenty percent of extreme damage hits would classify someone as a god-tier player.
Furthermore, besides the initial gifted skills, learned and acquired skills had levels, with the maximum being level twenty. Each level-up increased the skill's base damage, but the required proficiency was astronomical.
In his previous life, Chu Tian's rogue, at level 120, only had a maximum skill proficiency of level 6.
He unleashed two more Shreds on the Crow Claw Warlock, taking it down, and picked up a copper coin from the ground.
Turning to face the small pink-purple leopard running towards him, as they passed each other, Chu Tian had just recovered 40 energy points. He immediately used Shred on the low-health Crow Claw Warrior, instantly killing it.
Then, under the stunned gaze of the pink leopard, his Claw attack dealt a critical hit.
-69!
He successfully drew the aggro of the other Crow Claw Warrior.
"What are you staring at? Help me!" Chu Tian shouted to the pink leopard.
He currently had no energy points, and after consecutively killing several monsters, his health had also been reduced by a quarter.
He wasn't afraid of the Berserk Crow Claw Warrior, but he couldn't do all the work while the other person watched, could he?
"Okay!" The other party responded in a soft, sweet voice.
Then, Chu Tian, luring the monster, kept circling around her. Her attacks were nowhere near comparable to his.
Shred, -36!
Claw. -17!
This was the highest damage she had dealt. Chu Tian couldn't stand it anymore and turned around to use Ferocious Bite.
It was still Average completion.
Then, with two Shreds, he brought the Crow Claw Warrior down.
Clatter! A skill book actually dropped, along with a copper coin and a reinforcement stone. This was considered a great drop.
Looking at the items on the ground, Chu Tian picked them all up under the other party's watchful gaze.
The skill book was actually called "Savage Slash," which was precisely the starting skill he lacked the most. This skill was a bleed damage skill when not in stealth, but when cast in stealth, it added a 5-second stun and also inflicted a bleed on the enemy. It was much better than a rogue's Ambush, which only had a stun and no damage.
The other party just watched him without speaking, which made Chu Tian feel a bit embarrassed. He shared the dropped items with her.
"How should we divide it? You tell me!"
When Chu Tian asked her, she hesitated for a moment before transforming into human form and saying to Chu Tian,
"I don't need anything. Thank you for saving me! My name is 'Dream's Shore.'"
Upon hearing her name, Chu Tian instantly recalled the only god-tier Druid player from his previous life. It wasn't that she was exceptionally powerful, but rather that she was the only one who persisted in playing the Druid class and became famous.
Her fame stemmed from a skill she cast during a national war: 'Forbidden Resurrection.'
It was known that in the later stages, some people played Druids because the Ancient Tree form had a skill called 'Resurrection.' This skill was the only one in Tiandao that could revive players during combat.
Because of this skill, Druids had a tiny sliver of relevance; otherwise, no team would ever bring a Druid to a dungeon.
Dream's Shore, through some unknown fortunate encounter, obtained the skill 'Forbidden Resurrection.' During that national war, the Dragon Country was on the verge of collapse. However, with the appearance of this single skill, all the fallen players of the Dragon Country within a three-thousand-meter radius of her were revived, successfully turning the tide and achieving a comeback victory. However, the cost was a level drop of 20 levels and a cooldown of 180 days.
Facing this legendary player, Chu Tian was slightly excited. What he didn't expect was that the other party was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.
Chu Tian couldn't help but wonder if fostering a good relationship with her now might make her a great asset to him in the future. At the same time, an idea popped into his mind: could he recruit those god-tier players from his previous life to his side before they became gods?
