Chapter 6

In the midst of the intense struggle between a man and a wolf, the leaves on the ground were swept into the air and fell back down, now stained with the blood of the fierce beast. Just as the monster realized the danger and tried to escape, Fang Yi took a step forward and pierced the target's belly with his sword, gaining 1 point of experience. The entire process only cost him a little over 10 points of health.

The high agility attribute value indeed did not give the same sense of overpowering force as when playing a warrior, Fang Yi habitually summarized. The realism of "Miracle" was truly not exaggerated. With high agility, he could fully display his fighting style of hacking down his opponents with a flurry of attacks.

Feeling the corpse, as expected, there was no drop. Using the level 1 gathering skill, he obtained another piece of the expected worn-out wolf skin. He only managed to gather one sharp wolf tooth, which was required for the quest. Fang Yi didn't even bother to complain about the black wolf with a mouth full of fake teeth and his own black luck. He got up and continued deeper into the jungle.

The exploration skill is one of the most commonly used skills by combat classes, so it's a good habit to use it first in every battle. The luck attribute of the game character affects the drop rate of monsters, which changes every 24 hours of game time. Fang Yi had already gotten used to his black face and black hands, focusing on killing monsters. He quickly became familiar with the combat rhythm of a high-agility melee fighter, but the faster-than-real-life agility took some time for him to adapt to.

During the beta test, Fang Yi invested a considerable number of skill points into life skills to better understand the game, which severely reduced the combat power of his level 38 warrior. However, the 30+ points of strength were real. Swinging two-handed weapons could easily knock away medium-sized monsters (excluding super-strong monsters), making him a walking destruction machine.

As a rogue, high agility gave Fang Yi more attack opportunities in a short time and more flexible movement, which also tested the player's skills and reaction. However, based on his three-month beta test and six months of game time, the game's balance was quite well done, with no obvious strong or weak classes. The difference was merely between ordinary players and experts.

As Fang Yi delved deeper, he had already discovered no fewer than three player corpses. In reality, wolves have high group intelligence, and in "Miracle," which is known for its realism, this is no exception. When pack animals act in groups, they receive a +1 group intelligence bonus, which is usually no less than that of an adult.

Players wandered into the forest like they were shopping at a supermarket, only to be ambushed by wolf packs. Just like Fang Yi's first battle in the realm, facing such fierce beasts and monsters in such a realistic environment, the howls of the wolf pack alone could make new players' legs tremble. The rest was a panic, and then... a reunion with the goddess in the resurrection temple.

Now, Fang Yi had become the nightmare of the black wolves. After becoming familiar with his attributes and combat style, the battle turned one-sided. He perilously dealt with two black wolves and then re-entered stealth mode.

As he delved deeper, the black wolves in the jungle began to act in groups. Looking at the 9 wolf teeth in his backpack, Fang Yi thought to himself that he knew it wouldn't be this simple. He had killed over a dozen black wolves without gathering any more wolf teeth, so the last one must be on the alpha wolf.

In a small clearing deep in the jungle, a four-person adventuring team was in a tough battle. The one holding the shield was a rare human female warrior, with a well-proportioned figure moving back and forth in front of two black wolves. Her wooden shield and short axe were used skillfully, and her short hair, which kept bouncing, was a pleasant sight. Unfortunately, the battle situation was not as optimistic as the female warrior's performance.

The warrior attracted the attacks of two black wolves. From her skilled blocking and steady combat style, it was clear she was an experienced player. However, one of the black wolves was clearly the alpha, moving like the wind and having superior attack power, putting the warrior in constant danger.

The other two elf rangers had terrible skills, being chased around by two black wolves. It was only because of their high agility that they hadn't been immediately killed. Their short bows seemed like mere decorations, and they couldn't even manage to counterattack. The four could barely maintain this state without being wiped out, thanks to the elf priest standing at the edge of the battle.

The priest's initial intelligence should have been high, and the long-cooldown fear spell always landed accurately on the most threatening black wolf. Whenever the warrior's health was in danger or the ranger was bitten by a black wolf, the healing light and the eggshell-like devout shield would land on the teammates at the right time.

Just as the battle was at a stalemate, the alpha wolf, which had been behind the warrior, made a move. The short-haired girl, who had experienced the alpha's formidable strength, did not dare to be careless and quickly took a step back, raising her wooden shield with both hands. However, the alpha wolf turned on the spot and suddenly leaped toward the back of the battlefield, easily covering a dozen feet in one leap. The defenseless priest, though quick to take two steps back, could not avoid being exposed to the alpha wolf's white fangs.

The hearts of the group sank. Before they could even warn each other, a black shadow suddenly appeared beside the leaping black wolf, delivering a flying kick to the alpha's belly. Before landing, the black wolf was deflected slightly from its path and crashed into the tree behind the priest with a "thud."

The group in the battle was still in a daze when the suddenly appearing player shouted, "What are you waiting for, add me!" The warrior in the group then saw a system message flashing on his retinal screen: Player Fangkuai (level 1 rogue) requests to join your party.

Fang Yi delved deeper into the low howling jungle and quickly discovered the battle. After just a few glances, Fang Yi couldn't help but secretly praise the priestess's skills. Not only was her healing technique excellent, but her awareness of controlling hate was not something ordinary players could have. However, her teammates were not very helpful.

Now, he didn't have the strength to take on the alpha wolf and its subordinates alone. If the group was wiped out, he would have to find another team. Fang Yi sighed and decided to step forward to save the beauty from the wolf's mouth.

After joining the team, Fang Yi had no worries. He hid behind the warrior, stabbing the wolf's legs and other parts. The black wolf, which had been chasing the ranger, decided to pursue the annoying rogue after being stabbed several times. With the priest's support, the black wolves' attacks were all focused on the two melee fighters, and the rangers finally remembered their bows. The battle ended in less than three minutes.

Fang Yi pulled out his somewhat rusty short sword from the black wolf's neck and turned to look at the group. He noticed that everyone was extremely "focused" on him, especially the sweet-looking priestess, who was constantly sizing him up as if she had discovered a drow in broad daylight. Fang Yi coughed and averted his gaze, saying, "I'm on a quest too, just need the wolf teeth, and I'm done."
