"Do you know about monsters like two-headed wolves?"
There was light emerging from Valentine's hands, and the young man seemed to be holding a ball of fire. He clenched his fists and turned to look at the forest surrounding himself and the girl. The slight sleepiness in his eyes disappeared without a trace.
The only thing left in those dark eyes was as cold as winter snow.
"Hey? What kind of exam is this?"
Although Chen Le didn't notice any danger around her, after seeing the sacred magic lighting up in the young man's hand, she took out the knife hanging from her waist and held it in her hand.
The time the two got together was short, but Yifeng left a "very reliable" impression on the girl, so he must have a deep meaning in asking this.
Could it be that there are other requirements for joining the Adventurers Guild?
"The Adventurer's Guild rates you based on your overall quality. Ordinary people start as low-level adventurers."
The low roar of a wild beast echoed in the forest, as sudden as thunder.
The soft fox ears on Chen Le's head stood up instantly, and his hand holding the knife became a little tighter.
Valentin glanced at Chen Le beside him and continued:
"If your knowledge reserve is sufficient and your magic and skills are strong, the union will give you a slightly higher rating."
The girl's response was quick, which made Valentine very satisfied.
"But the highest level is still an intermediate adventurer, even if your strength can kill epic monsters instantly."
This is also a rigid rule of the Adventurer's Guild, and there have been no exceptions in the more than three hundred years since its establishment.
No matter how strong you are, if you want to improve your level, you have to earn meritorious deeds.
And someone must prove that you really made a difference in the battle, instead of just trying to get rewards.
The purpose is to avoid certain "gold plating" behaviors.
After all, behind the Adventurers' Union is the Human Alliance, which is all the countries on the subcontinent, equivalent to another form of "army".
The rewards for completing certain official tasks are still very rich.
"The two-headed wolf is an intermediate-level monster that can transform into two wolves and attack its prey. It is very fast, and its teeth and claws are slightly toxic. Although it will not have much impact on the human body, it needs to be detoxified as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, the wound will quickly worsen and pus will flow out, which will be extremely painful."
"We need to deal with the two-headed wolf as soon as possible. We cannot fight a protracted war, otherwise it is likely to attract more monsters."
Chen Le's voice is no longer as soft as before. She told everything she knew about monsters, turned slightly and stood behind the boy, waiting for the upcoming battle. .
She recognized who the owner of that low roar was, it was the two-headed wolf, an intermediate level monster.
And judging from the sound, there were quite a few.
"That's right."
Valentine nodded slightly.
Countless shrubs were reflected in the boy's field of vision, and it seemed that there was a monster hidden under every covered green.
These two-headed wolves appear out of nowhere and hide in the surrounding environment, waiting for hunting opportunities.
Just like the wolf at the beginning.
"In addition, two-headed wolves are also social creatures. As long as you encounter a wolf, it means that there are more than four wolves wandering around."
"Once discovered, unless all these monsters are eradicated, they will chase you until you leave the forest."
"Or death."
In fact, when Valentine went to the creek to clean wolf meat not long ago, he discovered these monsters hidden in the forest. However, he did not take action at that time, but released his momentum to keep these monsters safe from him. distance.
He didn't hide his momentum until the two of them stood up and left just now, just to test the fox-eared girl's strength.
It's a good thing that Chen Le can easily deal with these monsters. It doesn't matter if he encounters danger.
It's just the right time to have a "hero saves the beauty" scene to increase the girl's favorability.
The Valentine of today is no longer the Valentine of the past, and there is no psychological pressure on him to use such a harmless little idea.
"So, this is my entrance exam?"
The girl tilted her head, with a sweet smile on her face.
The knife in her hand reflected dazzling light in the sun, as clear as water.
The young man said nothing, acquiescing to her statement.
"If I pass, I will become an intermediate adventurer, right?"
Although Chen Le looks silly, she is not stupid. She naturally understood what Valentine just said.
As long as someone proves it and passes the guild's assessment, they can surpass the level of low-level adventurer and directly become an intermediate adventurer.
For Chen Le, this is a pie-in-the-sky deal.
"Well... I have been practicing swordsmanship in the tribe for thirteen years."
"It's too easy to deal with these monsters that have no speed but can't help but fight."
When he was still an adult, Chen Le often went hunting with his brothers and sisters in the tribe. He had encountered such situations several times and knew how to deal with them.
The two-headed wolf will only attack when its prey shows a flaw, so all it takes is...
The ears on the top of the girl's head twitched, and the tense muscles on her body relaxed. She seemed to feel that there was no danger around her and wanted to sheath the knife.
It was obviously intentional, but it was indeed a fatal flaw.
Although monsters know how to hunt together, they are still irrational and will never give up when they see an opportunity.
Meanwhile, Valentine closed his eyes.
And at the moment when his vision completely turned black, a vision suddenly occurred!
Several angry wolf roars came from the forest, and they were as close as a stone's throw away. These monsters rushed out of the bushes like bullets, so fast that they even tore through the air, making rustling sounds.
But even though he was surrounded by strong airflow, Valentine could still smell the putrid smell of the two-headed wolf.
He didn't hide or open his eyes, he just raised his hand and swung it in the direction of the sound just like he did not long ago!
The originally shimmering fist shone brightly at this moment, so dazzling that it seemed to be plated with gold. It slammed into the mouth of the two-headed wolf that rushed over, breaking all the sharp and white teeth. !
With a miserable cry, the wolf that had lost all its teeth flew backwards in an instant, like a piece of rag hitting a big tree not far away, splashing a layer of dark red on the surrounding green. Blood.
But it's not over yet.
Just when Valentine's fist hit the first wolf, his head tilted slightly to the right, perfectly avoiding the second wolf's claws.
At the same time, the boy raised his left hand like lightning, tightly grasped the tail of the second wolf, and swung his arm outward hard——
It slammed the entire wolf to the ground like a rag. The ugly head collided with the earth, red and black merged violently, and beautiful and smelly flowers bloomed on the grass at Valentine's feet.
In less than two seconds, he defeated the monster that rushed towards him.
Close your eyes and lean on your hands.
He didn't even move his feet.
