nLu Yuan walked very carefully, but he was not nervous.

nAccording to the strategy given by the player who had completed this mission in his previous life, he did not encounter the abyss demon in the mine.

n

n

nHe only encountered the sneak attacks of two level-9 vampire bats, where he was instantly killed.

nAfter the mission failed, it ended there.

nThe player did not mark that this was a sole hidden mission in the strategy that he sent out, probably because he had the poor taste of making others suffer when he was in a bad mood.

nHence, Lu Yuan did not know that there were vampire bats were in the mine.

n

n

nHe could only carefully edge into the mine bit by bit.

nVery quickly, five minutes passed. Lu Yuan walked out of a narrow tunnel and entered a spacious hall.

nThe entire hall was dark, with only a few glowing ores scattered on the ground, illuminating the hall.

n“The liberal profession before level 10 is still too weak.” Lu Yuan sighed. If he was a Mage, he could use a zero-tier spell Illumination.

n

n

nIf nothing else, he could still be as powerful as an archer.

nBut he was of the liberal profession, a layman who did not have any professional talent and initial skills.

nThis was the only drawback of the liberal profession.

nBecause the novice village did not have a professional instructor, other than killing monsters and obtaining skill books from the killings, he did not have any chance to learn skills.

nUnlike players of other professions who could automatically learn a professional skill every three levels before level ten.

nJust as Lu Yuan was carefully fumbling towards the center of the hall, the originally quiet hall was suddenly filled with the deep roar of a beast.

n

n

nAt the same time, two air-piercing sounds were heard.

nLu Yuan, who had been alert to his surroundings, heard the sound and immediately reacted. He twisted his body to the side.

nHowever, the vampire bats were still too fast.

nEven though Lu Yuan had reacted immediately, he still could not dodge their attacks.

n-78!

n-96!

nTwo wounds opened up on Lu Yuan’s waist.

nIn almost an instant, Lu Yuan’s originally full HP was reduced to only a few.

n

n

n“This attack, no wonder that bastard was killed instantly.” Lu Yuan instantly activated the Shadow Following skill and took out a bottle of HP recovery potion from his backpack. After biting it open and swallowing it, Lu Yuan could not help but curse.

nWithout hesitation, Lu Yuan turned around and ran.

nIt was not wise to fight with the vampire bats in such a dark environment.

nHe had to lure the vampire bats out first.

nThe two vampire bats hovered in the air and searched for the disappeared earth magic demon with some confusion in their hearts.

nThey were not smart enough to understand how the earth magic demon that dared to intrude into the mine could withstand their attacks without dying, and how it could disappear.

nWhile the vampire bats were stunned, Lu Yuan had already arrived at the entrance of the tunnel. He took out a copper coin from his backpack and threw it into the mine, then he pressed himself close against the wall.

nThe copper coin landed heavily on the ground, the sound ear-piercing in the silent environment.

nThe two vampire bats immediately flew towards the tunnel.

nAs the subordinates of the abyss demon, not only were they extremely powerful but they also had extremely sharp hearing abilities after being modified by the abyss.

nThey no longer needed to rely on sound waves to locate their position like ordinary bats.

nAfter the two vampire bats flew past Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan quickly followed behind the vampire bats tightly.

nFrom time to time, he would throw one or two copper coins to attract their attention.

n

n

nIt was much easier than expected to deal with these brainless monsters.

nLu Yuan quietly looked at the duration of his skill while luring the monsters.

nThe duration of Shadow Following was as long as two minutes after it was strengthened. Although it was not short, it was not long either.

nHe had to finish the battle as soon as possible.

nSoon, the five-minute journey that he had taken to enter the cave was completed in just over forty seconds.

nAfter coming out of the cave, Lu Yuan could finally see the vampire bat’s position with the help of the sunlight.

nHe quickly stepped forward. The powerful attack speed bonus the wild wolf set brought made Lu Yuan’s movements extremely fast. Almost the instant he took out his dagger, a bloody hole appeared on one of the vampire bats’ bodies.

n-17!

nUnder the level penalty, Lu Yuan’s attack was not painful at all. It only caused a little over 10 damage.

nVampire Bat

nLevel: 9

nHP: 900

nSkills: Intermediate Hemophagia, unknown, unknown…

nWith the bats having 900 HP, it meant that Lu Yuan would need around 90 slashes to kill a vampire bat.

nMeanwhile, Lu Yuan’s Shadow Following still had about a minute left.

n“Summon Fire!” Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

nA ball of flame appeared out of thin air above the mine. The flame was like a pocket, wrapping around the vampire bats as soon as it appeared.

n-42!

nLupine!

nSet skill activated.

nLu Yuan transformed into a werewolf and rushed towards a vampire bat.

n-11!

n-14!

n-18!

n-17!

n-16!

n…

nThe wild wolf set’s attack speed bonus was fully displayed at this moment. In just three seconds, Lu Yuan’s sharp claws were swung out more than ten times.

nThe vampire bat’s HP abruptly dropped by a large chunk.

nThe vampire bat that was injured let out a wail and subconsciously wanted to fly higher, trying to stay as far away from the ground as possible.

nThey had low intelligence and did not understand why they were attacked but could not find the target.

nThe only thing they could do was fly up.

n“Die!” Lu Yuan took out a bottle of potion from his backpack and swallowed it in one gulp.

nThen, his entire body strangely floated in the air.

nThere was no need to get used to it at all. Lu Yuan seemed to be a natural aerial creature as he skillfully and quickly attacked the vampire bats.

nThe potion that Lu Yuan swallowed was called a levitation potion. It was given to Lu Yuan by Solaka.

nThere was only one bottle.

nLu Yuan originally thought that he could keep it to save his life in the future. He didn’t expect that he would have to use it as soon as he got it.

n“That bastard couldn’t have anticipated this, right?” Lu Yuan cursed in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more likely it was. No wonder he had forcefully given these potions to him.

nAfter casually killing one of the vampire bats with a slash of the dagger, Lu Yuan turned his gaze to the other bat.

nAfter spending 30 seconds, until the Shadow Following and Lupine skills reached their limits, Lu Yuan killed the last vampire bat.

nThe huge amount of EXP bonus from killing monsters above his level increased Lu Yuan’s level to 89% of Level 5.

nThe two bats did not drop anything other than two teeth.

nLu Yuan picked up the teeth and looked at them carefully.

n“An alchemy material?” Lu Yuan muttered to himself as he looked at the familiar structure.

nAt this moment, he finally understood. It turned out that this hidden mission was self-directed by Solaka from the beginning.

nWhether it was his serious injury or the abyss demon in the mine, it was just a trap set up by Solaka. Lu Yuan did not know the exact reason yet.

n“Ah, ‘ve been discovered. Sorry. But don’t you know? If you know too much, you’ll come to no good end.” Solaka walked out from the corner and looked at Lu Yuan with a fierce look.

n“Stop fooling around. No matter what, this mission is considered to be completed, right?” Lu Yuan rolled his eyes.

nThe system did not notify him that Solaka’s favorability had dropped.. Solaka was obviously playing antics.
