Chapter 20

nVincent’s eyes narrowed. He tightened the psionic battle saber in his hand and quietly hid behind a huge rock.
nNot long after, a calf-sized rat that was covered in blood-red crawled out.
n“Vampire Rat!”
n
n
nVincent was delighted.
nThe vampire rat had just advanced to a beginner-level psionic ability user, so it was a good opportunity to practice.
nThe vampire rat was a beginner-level monster. It was fast, had strong defense, and had high attack power. It was a monster with a bit of intelligence among beginner-level monsters.
nOnce bitten by it, it would not let go until its blood was drained.
n
n
nMoreover, once it sensed that its opponent could not resist, it would turn around and run without any hesitation.
nThis vampire rat was obviously out to hunt for food, and its actions were very cautious.
nVincent also adjusted his breathing. He did not expose himself, and planned to launch a sneak attack on it.
nIf it was before, Vincent would not have dared to attack a monster like the vampire rat no matter what.
n
n
nBut now, it was different. It had become a beginner-level superpowered person and had the advantage of a sneak attack.
nAs long as he was careful, killing it wouldn’t be a big problem.
nTime passed by minute by minute. Half an hour later, the vampire rat arrived five meters away from Vincent.
nVincent suddenly attacked, starting with the collapsing mountain strike.
nWhoosh!
n“Squeak Squeak!”
n
n
nThe vampire rat sensed the danger the moment Vincent attacked, so it directly dodged.
nCrash!
nThe collapsing mountain hit the bushes, causing branches and leaves to fly everywhere.
nThe vampire rat turned to look at Vincent, his pitch-black eyes filled with fury.
n“Squeak Squeak!”
nThe vampire rat suddenly charged at Vincent like a speeding car.
nVincent did not think that he could kill the vampire rat with just one strike.
nTherefore, he did not panic in the face of the vampire rat’s attack.
n
n
nThe psionic battle saber was raised horizontally and blocked in front of him.
nClang!
nSparks flew everywhere!
nThe vampire rat’s teeth collided with the psionic battle saber, emitting a metallic clang.
nVincent only felt his arm go numb, and he turned around to deflect the force.
nAt the same time, the psionic battle saber was raised, and its target was the vampire rat’s front claws.
nThe vampire rat did not Dodge. It raised its claws and clawed at the psionic battle saber.
nClang!
nVincent’s attack was blocked and he retreated.
nThe Man and the Beast faced each other across space, both looking for the other’s weakness.
nVincent’s arm was somewhat numb. He thought to himself, what a strong strength.
nThe vampire rat looked at Vincent with a gaze that gradually became crazy.
n“Are you using me as food?”
n
n
nVincent was both angry and amused.
nHe was actually treated as food by the vampire rat.
nThis meant that in the vampire rat’s opinion, Vincent was inferior to it.
nAlthough this was the truth, it made Vincent very unhappy.
nWith a slash, the psionic battle saber suddenly stabbed towards the vampire rat.
nThe vampire rat was instantly furious. It was actually attacked by a weak human first.
nIts two front claws exerted force, and it actually jumped up directly, crashing towards the psionic battle saber like a cannonball.
nFrom the exchange just now, it could be seen that the psionic battle saber was very difficult to deal damage to the vampire rat.
nHowever, Vincent did not change the way he attacked. Instead, he used even more strength.
nSizzle!
nThe psionic battle saber slashed onto the vampire rat’s body.
n“Inferno!”
nVincent suddenly activated his psionic ability.
nA black flame suddenly spurted out from the blade, directly igniting the vampire rat.
n“Squeak Squeak!”
nThe vampire rat was extremely terrified. It finally realized that it had miscalculated the strength of the human in front of it.
nIn the blink of an eye, the vampire rat was burned to death by the purgatory fire.
nJust like before, not even ashes were left behind.
n“It’s a beast after all. Even if it has intelligence, it can’t change its nature.”
nVincent grinned and sat on the ground, panting heavily.
nThe only regret was that after using purgatory fire, the vampire rat was burned to the point that not a single hair was left.
nOtherwise, just the vampire rat’s crystals could be sold for tens of thousands of psi coins.
nAlthough the battle time was very short, Vincent’s physical strength could not keep up.
nMost importantly, his arms were sore, Numb, and swollen.
nThe Vampire Rat’s defense was really too strong.
nIt was stronger than all the Monsters Vincent had encountered in the past.
n“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a low-level monster, vampire rat. You have obtained an upgrade pill.”
n“Do you wish to take it?”
n“Yes.”
n“Ding! You have successfully taken an upgrade pill. Your psionic power limit has increased by 2 points.”
nAfter more than half an hour, Vincent finally felt that his arm had recovered a little. He took out the pill that Chris had given him and took one.
nLooking at the psionic battle blade that had cracked from the vampire rat’s attack, his heart ached a little.
nHe stood up and continued to explore, searching for monsters.
nJust like that, Vincent walked and killed all the way until the Moon Hung High in the sky. Only then did he stop.
nAlthough it had only been a few hours since he had come out, Vincent had gained a lot.
nHis combat experience had improved greatly, and his mastery of the collapsing mountain had reached 100% .
nEven his control of the Inferno fire had become much stronger.
nOf course, there were naturally dangers when there were rewards.
nEven though this was only the wilderness and was less than 800 meters away from BIC town.
nThe monsters were abnormally powerful.
nThe monsters that were able to survive in the vicinity of the supply point had rich battle experience with humans.
nFor example, the low-level monster ice snake that they had just encountered.
nNot only did it know how to spit ice balls, it was also fast. Wherever it passed, it would form a thin layer of frost, making it difficult for people to stand steadily.
nIt actually knew how to use its own characteristics to encircle Vincent, thus reducing Vincent’s speed and then spitting ice balls from afar.
nSimply relying on the collapsing mountain strike would not be able to hurt it at all.
nVincent did not want to burn the ice snake until there was not even ash left.
nThe Hellfire Arrow could not even graze the side.
nIn the end, there was no other way. Vincent turned the hellfire into a thread and spread it everywhere he could see. Only then did he temporarily restrain it.
nWhy did he say temporarily?
nBecause he only restrained the tail of the frost snake. Seeing that it could not beat Vincent, it actually severed its tail and escaped.
nVincent felt a wave of regret.
nHowever, this had also brought Vincent a lot of experience.
nIt was far from enough to rely on the destructive power of purgatory fire to fight.
nThe most important thing was the mastery of psionic ability.
nThis also allowed him to see the most direct effect of psionic ability control in battle.
nVincent sat under a tree to rest. While he recovered his strength, he was also applying medicine on his wound.
nAlthough his injuries were not serious, there was still the smell of blood. The monsters were most active at night.
nIf he did not deal with it in time, he might attract some strange monsters.
nAt that time, if he could not fight at his peak, his life and death would be unknown.
nThis was his first night in the wilderness, and it felt very strange.
nThe wilderness at night was very different from the day.
nPerhaps it was because of the appearance of the black hole, but the Wild at night was very depressing.
nIt made people very uneasy.
nVincent knew very well that he had to adapt to this situation as soon as possible.
nWhen he graduated, there would be more and more such situations in the future.
nI have to say, the medicine that Chris gave to Vincent was really effective.
nAfter applying it, the wound actually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
nThis made Vincent even more grateful to Chris.
nIf it weren’t for her medicine, Vincent might have returned to BIC town long ago.
nJust as he was about to eat something and rest, his expression suddenly changed.
nA long period of concentration and battle had made him extremely sensitive to the wind and grass around him, and he had a very intuitive sense of danger.
nBoom!
nAlmost at the instant Vincent dodged, a scarlet tongue covered with barbs shot out from the ground.
n
