Chen Bing was prepared to sacrifice the rat leader. However, it was strange that the jungle wolf leader did not unleash any skills at all, and it was clobbered to death by Chen Bing and his three minions just like that.
“System: Evolution Energy released. Please use your Devouring Evolution skill to absorb this life form’s body. The effect of Evolution Energy will decrease greatly after 3 minutes!”
“System: Devoured body of ‘Jungle Wolf Leader’!”
…
As the jungle wolf died, Chen Bing’s evolution energy reached 10/10. Evolution energy was released within Chen Bing’s body, and a faint light surrounded Chen Bing.
Chen Bing had waited for this moment for a long time. He used the Devouring Evolution skill on the jungle wolf leader’s corpse, and the corpse turned into a grey shade of light that flew into Chen Bing’s hand.
A light flashed and Chen Bing officially leveled up to Level 2.
“Character: *****”
“Level: 2”
“Evolutions: 0 times”
“Evolution Energy: 0/20”
“Life: 80”
“Stamina: 8”
“Power: 11 (1+2%)”
“Agility: 12”
“Psychic: 7”
“Intelligence: 6”
…
“Cool, 19 points of attributes added in total!”
Chen Bing quickly scanned over his attributes, and his eyes lit up.
If it was just devouring a normal monster, 10 attribute points would be pretty good.
However, as he absorbed the jungle wolf corpse, an increase in level was equal to an increase in two levels for other players!
With these attributes, he took out the Poisoned Dagger. With that, he could deal about 20 to 30 points of damage even when facing jungle wolves.
“System: Absorbed the corpse of a monster leader. You are authorized to use this monster leader’s skill. Lasts for one minute!”
“System: You received temporary skill ‘Howl’, lasts for one minute!”
“Howl: Releases an angry howl, causing allies to enter frenzy mode (does not work on caster), lasts for 30 seconds.”
Two system notifications appeared continuously. After being in a state of confusion, Chen Bing finally understood what happened.
The jungle wolf leader was a Level 7 monster who had this ability.
It was a pretty strong skill, as it could cause all its junior wolves to enter frenzy mode. However, all the wolves died and this skill had lost its functionality, which was why Chen Bing did not see this ability used to attack the slimes.
Following that was the cleanup of the battleground. Chen Bing quickly searched through the beach.
“System: Received ‘Compass’!”
“System: Received ‘Adventurer Leggings’!”
“System: Received ‘Adventurer Leather Armor’!”
“System: Received ‘Freshwater’!”
“System: Received ‘Wooden Plank’!”
…
After a hard-fought battle against the wolf, the results were not disappointing.
He successfully obtained a “Compass”, and also Level 10 black iron equipment, two bottles of freshwater and three wooden planks.
Common, Bronze, Black Iron, Silver … In “Evolution Island”, equipment was not easily obtained. Chen Bing had little to no equipment on him, and the Level 10 Black Iron armor set was a good upgrade, save the fact that it could not be brought back home.
“Let’s continue!”
There was nothing else left, so Chen Bing brought the Warrior Slime and others forward towards the beach.
Devouring a jungle wolf leader granted a lot of attribute points. It was great for both leveling up and getting treasure.
There were no monsters around. Warrior Slime was curious about the seawater, and it constantly stared at the seawater as it jumped around following Chen Bing.
As Chen Bing was not noticing, the little guy slowly crept towards the seashore and jumped into the waves. It was then splashed by the waves and rolled towards the sand like a football with its face full of sand.
Blegh! Blegh!
The Warrior Slime immediately spat out the sand in his mouth. He quickly ran towards Chen Bing just as Chen Bing was not noticing.
The Shadow of Slime at the other side looked at the Warrior Slime which was covered in sand and started blinking. Warrior Slime immediately glared at it as he saw, and the Shadow of Slime averted its gaze.
Chen Bing found the second group of wolves not long after.
“Charge!”
The surroundings were about the same as last time. They got to work once again as Chen Bing gave the command.
With his previous experience, there was nothing out of the ordinary this time. Chen Bing even leveled up.
After devouring the jungle wolf leader’s corpse, Chen Bing leveled up to Level 3.
“Character: *****”
“Level: 3”
“Evolutions: 0 times”
“Evolution Energy: 0/30”
“Life: 110”
“Stamina: 11”
“Power: 16 (1+2%)”
“Agility: 18”
“Psychic: 9”
“Intelligence: 7”
…
“Leveling up from Level 2 to Level 3 only added 17 attribute points. Looks like absorbing the same monster leader would decrease the number of attribute points obtained. When my level difference with the jungle wolf leader decreased, it probably caused the number of attribute points that I obtained to decrease.”
Chen Bing thought about it as he looked at his Level 3 attributes.
Compared to when he leveled up from Level 1 to Level 2, which got him 19 points, it only got him 17 points this time, which was 2 less than the previous attempt.
However, it was still within an acceptable range.
He was alone, and it was not easy for him to find a suitable monster leader to kill to level up.
“System: Received ‘Compass’!”
“System: Received ‘Adventurer Helmet!”
“System: Received ‘Adventurer Ring’!”
“System: Received ‘Freshwater’!”
“System: Received ‘Wooden Plank’!”
…
Following it was the cleanup of the battlefield again. Other than the adventurer equipment, freshwater, and wooden planks, Chen Bing received another compass.
“This compass doesn’t seem as rare as mentioned in the forum… No, the amount of compasses in the game is quite scarce. Perhaps I should find a few more and earn myself a fortune by trading with other players!”
Chen Bing felt like he’d found a road to riches.
A compass was a must in the game. However, the number of compasses in the game was limited, so he could probably find a few more and sell them to other players.
As he thought about it, his motivation surged.
As he continued his walk on the beach with his minions, Chen Bing quickly found the third group of wolves.
Chen Bing’s attributes had greatly increased, and the Warrior Slime had reached Level 5. Jungle wolves were not a threat anymore, and Chen Bing exterminated all of them with ease.
The experience of the jungle wolves was all absorbed by Chen Bing. As he killed another wolf leader, he once again leveled up to Level 4.
“14 attribute points only for Level 4. Fewer attributes were increased, much less than before.”
Chen Bing once again compared the attributes obtained, and it proved some of his guesses.
Devouring the same type of monster repeatedly and also battling lower-level monsters would cause the obtained attribute points to decrease.
After searching around the beach, he found his third compass.
