Chapter 26: Greedy Wolf Card (2/2)

That’s some high damage!

I shifted to the right. The Weeping Fire Blade enveloped in a green light was further enchanted with blood-red energy and heavily slashed the Greedy Wolf on the head. With lightning speed I launched a follow-up. My quick two-attack combo of Slayer Slash and basic attack instantly took half of the wolf’s HP.

381!

312!

Undead energy had also ranked up, providing a nice boost of 10%, its strength only growing when coupled with a skill. In fact, using my talent to kill the living monsters here should make it faster and more profitable. It did hurt more than usual since they were seven levels above me, but it was worth it!

I still moved without rest, running in circles around one wolf with the other right at my heels. This was a classic tactic when fighting two monsters. Kite one by running circles around the other, constantly attacking the circled one. This would lower the effectiveness of the first monster’s attacks by 50% or more!

Crack!

After another two strikes, the first Greedy Wolf finally collapsed with a miserable howl. I swept a glance over and saw my experience bar soar. Nice, this is some good experience!

Glug!

I chugged an HP potion before swinging my Weeping Fire Blade at the second Greedy Wolf. A 1v1 was way easier. I was lucky that I had enough potions and a high Defense of 61. If it were any other person who bumped into these two Level 32 Greedy Wolves, I’m afraid nothing good would come out of that.

I rained down simple yet straightforward blows, and the remaining wolf soon died with a miserable wail. My situation wasn’t much better. I was left with 145 HP. If not for my skillful gameplay, I’m afraid I would be the corpse instead.

Pop!

The second Greedy Wolf dropped something!

A glistening Big Magic Stone, a bloody Greedy Wolf Fang, and a fiery red card.

A card?!

Right, it was a card!

I picked it up and froze—

Greedy Wolf Card: Rank 1 Card. After use, Attack Speed +5%, Movement Speed +5%. Duration: 30 minutes.

Damn, it’s pretty good!

I was ecstatic. This increased my combat efficiency by 5%. Since it would last for 30 minutes, it just so happened to help me grind and level up. Not only that, if there were no accidents, this Greedy Wolf Card would be a great tool to use in PK. Though my policy was to grind level and get better equipment in the early stage of the game, avoiding PK as much as possible. Only idiots like the Mad Dragon gang would go around biting people.

I held the Greedy Wolf Card in my palm and read, “Greedy Wolf!”

Swoosh!

The card flew and disappeared, becoming a streak of red light that appeared behind the name above my head. It then formed into the shape of a wolf head. It was precisely the effect of the Greedy Wolf Card. Players could only have one card effect on at a time. It took me a while before I realized that I had pretty much wasted the card. The Greedy Wolf Card was a top-tier Rank 1 Card. It could be used during boss fights or a revenge PK but I stupidly used it to grind levels.

Using a Greedy Wolf Card was a pretty good way to grind levels. Unless I encountered three Greedy Wolves at once, I would be able to easily deal with anything that came along.

Time quickly flew by. Two hours had passed in the blink of an eye and the potions in my bag were nearly out. I was now Level 26 with 89% experience. If there were no accidents, I should be able to reach Level 27 in half an hour. I couldn’t help but feel proud of myself. The faster I got to Level 30, the faster I would be able to catch a pet. Just relying on that Greedy Wolf skeleton behind me wasn’t feasible. Summon Undead was too crappy. It would only become truly useful at a higher rank.

Crack!

Like a falling meteor, the Weeping Fire Blade drew a perfect arc in the grass-filled ground of the Wildfire Plains. With another miserable howl, another Greedy Wolf had fallen.

Pop!

Something came out!

A Greedy Wolf Fang and something that made my heart race—a red card! I swear this red card wasn’t an RMB note!

I quickly picked up the card. Its stats appeared before my eyes after a flash of light—

Fire Wolf Card: Rank 1 Card. Skill: Blaze. Charges: 1.

I couldn’t hold back my smile. It was a skill-type card. The cards in Heavenblessed were separated into two types, skill-type and buff-type. My luck was pretty good. I hadn’t been at the Wildfire Plains for more than a day, yet I’d already obtained two cards.

I continued my grind. Soon, another hour had passed and I had already traveled to the ends of the southern part of the Wildfire Plains. I had collected enough Greedy Wolf Fangs a long time ago. It was also at this time that I finally found the place I was looking for!

A verdant valley appeared at the ends of the plains. A fragrant smell assailed my nose when I stepped inside. Nice, the entire valley was chocked full with wild vegetation. There was fresh Glutinous Rice!

This was a low ravine with abundant sunshine. Rainwater had formed a shallow lake and that was the condition for Glutinous Rice to grow!

I advanced forward and used my skill on the cluster of swaying Glutinous Rice. It was a Rank 2 ingredient so it needed Rank 2 Foraging. That was no problem for me and I quickly finished gathering—

Ding~!

System Notice: You have obtained Glutinous Rice x3. Foraging Proficiency +3!

Sweet!
