Chapter 217: Harvest
Bang!
Landing awkwardly on the ground, Kurei hurriedly pushed himself up, jokingly noting that he had no time to cry with sticky warriors all around!
Previously struggling against a mountain pig, now surrounded by a bunch of undead, it felt like a jump from C-level difficulty straight to S-level.
“Zanny, can this guy hold on… I think he’s not much stronger than a small monster,” Nangong worriedly remarked. “If Kurei goes down, the NPC army will be leaderless.”
“Can’t hold on,” Zha Chen said decisively.
“Damn, are you deliberately letting him die?”
“That’s why I need you all to come! I’ve checked the panels of these NPCs, they are worlds apart from the soldiers in other cities. If we hit them before strengthening, they’ll be cannon fodder, and that would be terrible.”
“What should we do?” Wencheng looked at her.
“Very simple, he’s already deep in the encirclement, and we’re 10 yards away, just provide remote support.”
“Brother Shiu, switch to the camp attack mode, just throw skills at his feet. Wencheng and Jiangxia take turns with skills, ensuring at least two healing skills can turn around, and as soon as Cute Orange’s Leap of Sound is ready, throw it.”
“Zanny, are we just going to watch like this?” Zimei asked with confusion.
“Of course not. Although I haven’t had much experience farming these mobs, the experience from level 30 monsters is still quite abundant for you. Everyone else forms a circle, just like in the Tower of Forgetting.”
“Got it, but we might not be able to surround the back row. Should we let out our pets to hold the position?” the Traveler asked.
“Go ahead, the healing pressure shouldn’t be too great; it mainly depends on the NPC’s movements.”
“Okay.” The Traveler nodded and released the Cracked Rock Spider.
Speaking of which, it had been a while since they saw each other, and the spider had grown to about the size of two small manes, its vibrant appearance made even more eye-catching by its ID “Little Cutie”.
“Is this your pet…? Zha Chen was left in black lines. Whenever she sees a creature with too many skins, she feels uncomfortable, except for Mo Se.”
“What’s wrong? It’s my precious darling.” Saying this, he rubbed his face against the surface of the Cracked Rock Spider, and the moment they made contact, the high temperature burned off over 100 HP from him, and flames ignited on his face.
“……”
“How about it? Jealous?”
“Jealous my ass! Don’t you know you just entered a burning state? Your health bar is dropping like crazy!”
“Just a small matter.” With that, he took out a potion from his bag and downed it in one gulp, and the burn marks returned to normal. “How about that?”
“…Looks like he’s gone crazy. The others appeared unfazed, clearly used to it.
The girl calmed down, and Zha Chen looked at Endless Sea. “Brother Hai, you’re still using your Heart of Protection, right?”
“Of course, I might not change it until a golden shield comes out.”
“That’s good. Keep an eye on the NPC’s movements; they might suddenly launch a ranged attack, and then just activate the protection, otherwise, big trouble could happen.”
“Ranged attack?”
“Specifically, ice spears. You’ll see when it comes.”
“Okay, leave it to me.”
With his reaction speed, activating the protection would definitely be timely, reducing the risk of instant death.
“Then let’s do it, let’s get to work!”
In an instant, everyone began to move, adding buffs and pulling monsters.
Thus, in the Adventure Group channel, Brother Shiu turned around and listened to the Swordsman’s suggestions.
Although he was puzzled about the task, he still coordinated with everyone to form a circle.
Meanwhile, Kurei finally mustered the courage to swing his sword, but it was easily blocked by the kicking warrior.

Conversely, the brilliance of their sword clashes surged, the rusty iron sword delivering three sequential hits in an instant!
-604
-597
-599
As soon as they engaged, the outcome was clear; the officer’s health bar was barely half!
“…”
More and more skeleton monsters were swinging their weapons; perhaps he wouldn’t be able to block even for a second.
“Miss… I’m sorry, but I might disappoint your expectations,” he spat.
Then, he awaited the arrival of death.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar moan.
“Prayer–Blessing!”
Strength surged from within him, and his body also felt lighter.
However, this was still not enough to evade countless deadly attacks.
Next, a melodious Battle Song and an inspiring song followed; the adventurers were helping him!
Holy light enveloped his body,
+4388
Warmer than a regular healing spell, Kurei’s health was instantly restored.
Whew—
Thunderclouds and fire seas descended upon the area.
Occasional thunder strikes dealt over 2k damage to the skeletal warriors, while the fire sea continuously burned for over 800.
Moreover, the pervasive frost slowed down the monsters’ movements.
“What are you still afraid of? Harvest!” The miss’s frustrated voice sounded behind him.
He didn’t respond; now, only action could express his intentions.
With a rise and a fall, the once ferocious skeleton warrior now moved sluggishly like an old man.
Alright, here we go!
“Yahhh!” The Poison Blade, wielded with heavy strike’s might, targeted the enemy’s core.
Kurei certainly knew that only by extinguishing the core could the taekwondo fighter be completely killed.
Upon striking the flame, high damage displayed,
-2498
Just in time to finish off the monster that was already crippled by magic!
Speaking of which, during the previous castle defense, he had also killed a taekwondo fighter, but ultimately, it was all thanks to his comrades sacrificing their lives.
Now, he just needed one sword
-4920
Under the critical hit, another taekwondo fighter collapsed.
One more sword
-2375
Hunting the terrifying taekwondo fighter felt like cutting down wheat with ease.
In a daze, the Poison Blade in his hand was entwined with wonderful carvings, and his body felt significantly stronger.
Was it an illusion?
Or was it some adventurer’s enhancement?
None of that mattered.
What mattered was—he was thoroughly enjoying the moment.
…
While Zha Chen watched the performance, she occasionally swung the Magic Sword, sweeping through the surrounding sticky warriors.
Fearing exposure, she didn’t join Brother Shiu’s team and thus couldn’t share in the experience points.
In the same team, the experience points from a monster would be divided into several parts, allocated based on healing amount, output, and buff effects, so it was impossible to earn high points while slacking off in such activities.
However, soloing proved to be equally effective, as the occasional magical shock from the Magic Sword completely smashed the sticky warrior to pieces, scattering its fire core!
Output relied solely on normal attacks; when low on health, just return to Brother Shiu for a group healing spell, truly no regrets.
As for skills, she kept them reserved, ready to help the NPC slay monsters.
It seemed like they didn’t require much help after all.
NPCs didn’t seem to follow the player experience gauge rule, as in just 5 minutes, Kurei killed about 50+ sticky warriors, directly leveling up to 30.
But beyond level 30, he got stuck.
Check attributes!
