Chapter 11

William Carter didn’t have time to think and once again engaged in a fierce battle with the giant wolf. Pitifully, the giant wolf was bleeding from three holes, front and back. It thought it had already won, but unexpectedly, its prey sprang back to life in an instant, full of energy, causing its fighting spirit to plummet.

Meanwhile, William Carter and the antelope, having gained two points of armor, were in high spirits. As their morale rose and the wolf’s fell, the giant wolf was forced to retreat step by step.

William Carter wielded two daggers, aiming straight for the giant wolf’s eyes. He didn’t defend at all—after all, he could survive two hits without dying. Even if he got bitten, he could still blind one of the wolf’s eyes. As the saying goes, the strong fear the reckless, and the reckless fear those who don’t care about their lives. Under William Carter’s desperate assault, the giant wolf grew timid, its attacks failing several times, only managing to scratch William Carter’s flesh without injuring his bones.

Finally, the giant wolf, weakened from excessive blood loss, could no longer hold on. The demonized antelope hooked out a length of intestine from the wolf’s belly.

Seizing the opportunity, William Carter hooked the intestine with his dagger and gave it a hard pull, yanking out over three meters at once. Then, grabbing the bloody intestine with his hands, he dashed off into the distance. When he reached the end and couldn’t pull anymore, William Carter used both hands to quickly slice the intestine into pieces like cucumber slices.

The giant wolf simply couldn’t withstand William Carter’s extremely ruthless attacks. With a groan, it collapsed to the ground, clearly breathing out more than it was breathing in.

Here’s a brief explanation of this book’s settings regarding attack, armor, and evasion. The types of armor in this book are: no armor, light armor, medium armor, heavy armor, hero armor, and holy armor.

Warriors with high agility are fast and can dodge both magical and physical attacks.

In this world, both characters and monsters have fixed attack power, but the amount of blood lost depends greatly on where the attack lands.

With William Carter’s attack power, if he stabbed the giant wolf’s abdomen, a normal 3-3 attack would at most cost the demon wolf two points of blood. But if he pulled out intestines, sliced sausage, dug out eggs, or stabbed the anus, the damage would be much greater. So, even though the giant wolf had thick armor and lots of blood, it still died at William Carter’s hands.

Not feeling assured, William Carter waited until the giant wolf stopped struggling, then quickly stepped forward and gouged out both of its eyes with two strikes. He then slashed the wolf’s neck a dozen more times, and only when a hoarse voice announced he had gained 20 experience points did William Carter slump to the ground, leaning against the wolf’s belly, gasping for breath.

Ding! With a flash of golden light, a shiny object popped up and fell to the ground.

William Carter picked it up and saw that it was a copper glove.

A hoarse prompt sounded: Cross-level monster kill, surpassed by 7 levels, drop rate increased by 3,700%, reward: Strength Glove (one star), attribute: increases strength by one point.

(A brief introduction to equipment levels: every piece of equipment has a star rating—one star, two stars, three stars, and so on. Some equipment can be upgraded with special materials, but that requires an enchanter, which will be mentioned later. The upgrade limit is determined by the equipment itself. Of course, even if you upgrade an iron tree branch to nine stars, it could never compare to a one-star holy sword.)

Unexpectedly, monsters in this world don’t drop much money, but they do drop equipment. A one-star Strength Glove is worth fifteen gold coins, equivalent to three months of his salary!

Excited as he was, William Carter also realized how hard it was to get equipment drops in this world. Only by surpassing the monster by 7 levels and increasing the drop rate by 37 times did he get a one-star glove. Only he could do this, thanks to the innate skill Holy Persuasion he brought with him when he crossed over, and the muddled use of Mekansm’s Vitality skill.

Otherwise, who else could single-handedly kill a monster seven levels above them?

This reward is actually quite low!

If a newbie lost their life, what good would a holy sword do, let alone three months’ salary?

Though he grumbled a bit, William Carter was still very happy.

Strength was exactly the attribute William Carter needed most right now. Although this glove was just a subpar item, William Carter’s base strength was so low—only one point—that wearing it had a very noticeable effect.

His health increased from nineteen to thirty-eight points, and he also gained an extra point of attack power.

Both his survivability and combat ability were greatly enhanced. Now, William Carter’s attack power had reached 4-4.

Grinning, he put on the glove and finally began to check his wounds.

The demonized antelope was also covered in injuries. Its health was down to a pitiful twelve points. William Carter himself had only nine health points left, and even after using Vitality, he had barely scraped by. This wolf was just too strong.

What exactly was going on with this Vitality skill? William Carter was about to check his skill bar when suddenly the soft cushion behind him disappeared, causing him to fall to the ground. The pain from his wounds twisted his face in agony.

He hadn’t felt it so much in the heat of battle, but now that he’d stopped, every wound on his body hurt so much it was unbearable.

By the way, why did the wolf’s corpse disappear? William Carter checked the spot where the wolf had died, but found nothing unusual and couldn’t be bothered to think about it.

There were no new skills in the skill bar. Could the Vitality skill have come from an item?

The moment he opened his inventory, he suddenly remembered a special item—the Purple Extreme Orb.

Instinctively, William Carter felt that this time, the Vitality must be related to it.
