Back at the camp, the first thing Xiao Yu did was revive the Orc brothers. He had to admit that they were much more competent as shields and bodyguards than Goblin Warriors. They could have killed the Priest if the Mage had not rushed over and frozen them with New Star of Frost.
Although the three Orcs were killed in the end, they had successfully exhausted the Priest’s MP, which then gave him a chance to kill the Warrior first.
If he had brought the Goblin Warriors instead, it would’ve taken six of them to achieve this effect.
Even though reviving them cost a little more resources than training Goblin Warriors, it was still worth it.
Moreover, this battle had made Xiao Yu more confident. It seemed that he was strong enough. As long as he did not run into anyone like the level 47 female Night Elf Mercenary, he was considered strong around Night Whisper Forest.
“You’re damn cool, Boss. You killed three Adventurers alone!”
Killer Codename 38 and Fearless were amazed, and Killer Codename 38 even exclaimed exaggeratedly. No wonder they would be so envious. They had created their accounts some time ago and had also met some Adventurers in the past few days. For the first few times, they rushed up, trying to take the advantage of their numerical superiority, but they were defeated completely and scared the sh*tless every time. Then the two of them simply chose to stay in the camp. When they found out that the Adventurers were attacking the camp yesterday, they tried their best to hide. But now, Xiao Yu had told them with his actions that even as a monster, they could beat up the Adventurers as long as they were strong enough.
Xiao Yu thought, “I used to kill Adventurers team by team. Killing these few newbies is nothing worth mentioning.”
But he said modestly, “That’s not a big deal. As long as you follow me and study hard, you can become Elites or even Bosses. At that time, killing Adventurers will be easy.
“But before that, focus on leveling. It’s difficult to level up solo, but there will be more Goblin Warriors and Goblin Scouts in the camp now. When we have finished training a large unit, each of you can take a group of them to level up.”
The two of them were excited upon hearing this.
Seeing that the morale of the two men had been increased successfully, Xiao Yu changed the topic and said, “But before that, you must continue to gather resources.”
For the rest of the day, Xiao Yu continued to patrol around the camp and sent some Goblin Slaves to cut down the trees. Wood was the most basic construction material, so it was absolutely necessary.
Throughout the afternoon, Xiao Yu encountered several Adventurers again. Most of them came out alone to level up, and some were in groups of two or three. Without exception, they were all sent to the cemetery by Xiao Yu. By four o’clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yu had reached level 12.
He had to admit that with Elite Mode, it felt good to get an additional five stat points each time he levelled up. It was almost the same as the players. The number of stats that were added with each increase in level now was nearly the same as two and half levels in the past.
He checked out his stats.

As the sky was getting dark, Xiao Yu felt that it was almost time for him to retreat, as he had collected enough Wood. In addition to the EXP he had gained, he had gathered 45 materials, which should be enough to make his own equipment.
As Xiao Yu was thinking, he suddenly found something wrong. One of the three Black Rock Orcs behind him was missing. When he looked back, he saw a Black Rock Orc shrug his head, marked with a stun. Obviously, it was stunned.
Oh no, there was a Bandit nearby! Xiao Yu was shocked. He listened attentively, and in the dark, he heard faint, mixed, and disordered footsteps and shouts.
The Boss was in front! Everyone sped up, and in the next second, seven or eight players rushed out of the woods.
The leader was the Human Warrior called Supreme Sword. Behind him were many players who had been killed by him in the daytime.
Xiao Yu turned away and ran as he thought, “Damn it, are they seeking revenge with so many people? I’ll quit.”
“Eh, there he is! Hurry up!” The Adventurers swarmed in. A leopard rushed out and charged towards Xiao Yu like an arrow.
“Stop them!” Xiao Yu shouted loudly at the three Black Rock Orcs as he ran as fast as he could.
Stun shot! Bang! A Night Elf Hunter raised his hand. Xiao Yu was shot and his speed was immediately slowed down as his brain became dizzy.
Sneak raid!
A Night Elf Bandit suddenly appeared from the dark and stunned Xiao Yu on the spot. There was no way out, as the Elite Mode did not have immunity to stuns. Xiao Yu thought, “I might die here.”
As soon as the stun effect was over, the leopard had rushed to the front and instantly transformed into a human, a female Druid. She waved the staff in her hand—Twining Vines!
Xiao Yu felt his feet being dragged, and the snake-like vines entangled him tightly.
“Open it for me!” At this critical moment, Xiao Yu showed unprecedented strength. His Strength points reached 15, and he broke the vines in two or three moves. However, when he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by seven or eight players.
Supreme Sword rushed over first.
Taunt! The surroundings darkened, the faces of other Adventurers around Xiao Yu became blurry, and he was unable to aim. Only the face of the Warrior in front was clear and ferocious.
This was really a hard time for him. Xiao Yu knew that he was definitely going to die today, but he had to struggle a bit because he was the Chief. He raised his hand, about to release Flame Missile, but he was interrupted by the Warrior’s punch.
Try again—the Bandit behind him gave him a kick.
After that, all kinds of attacks fell on him. Before he could fight back, he was knocked down to the ground.
The scene in front of him darkened and he was back at the login interface.
“Alas, that was straight forward,” Xiao Yu thought helplessly. As an Elite monster, he could only cope with two or three Adventurers. If there were more, he could not even fight back.
There was a line of huge, blood-red characters in front of his eyes.
System prompt message: You have died, do you choose to revive?
Xiao Yu chose to revive.
System prompt message: As you are a level 12 Elite Mode, you need to pay 24 Scroll Points to revive. Do you want to revive?
24 Scroll Points was equivalent to $24. “Alas, this is going to cost me money,” Xiao Yu thought.
Although he could revive free of charge in Monster Mode, once he advanced to Rare Elite, it would cost him some Scroll Points every time he revived. The cost increased as his Mode level increased. In the later stages, it would cost thousands or even tens of thousands of Scroll Points to revive. It has to be said that this game company was really good at making money.
But he had no other choice besides reviving, as it was not worth it to start a new account just for 24 Scroll Points.
At least for now, Xiao Yu could still afford it. After he chose to pay the Scroll Points, Xiao Yu appeared in the camp again with a flash of white light.
