Chapter 60 New Map: Highlands and Plains
At this moment, Jiang Ming's strength attribute reached 20 points!
It was an unprecedented feeling of fullness, as if one could crush steel with a gentle squeeze.
Jiang Ming subconsciously clenched his left fist.
Crunch-!
The metal gauntlets covering the palms emitted a teeth-grinding scraping sound.
He suddenly swung his right-hand sword at the open space to his right.
Ugh—!
The heavy sword tore through the air with a piercing crack.
The terrifying wind pressure even stirred up the dust on the ground, forcing Wang Yang, who was standing two meters away, to squint and take a half step back.
"Holy crap..."
Wang Yang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he looked at the imposing manner of Jiang Ming's casual wave.
"Brother Jiang, was that... a sonic boom just now?"
Jiang Ming slowly withdrew his sword stance, feeling the surging power within his body.
5 points of strength.
For ordinary people, it's a leap from being a normal person to being a superhuman.
For him, who already possessed 15 points of strength, these 5 points of increase directly allowed him to break through the limits of humanity and touch the realm of the superhuman!
How can this be considered a burden?
This is clearly a moving human-shaped totem pole!
Jiang Ming remained silent for two seconds.
He was weighing his options.
Bringing two girls along does indeed increase some uncertainties.
However, the strategic value of this buff skill is enough to offset all the negative factors.
In this place where strength reigns supreme, a difference of 5 points in strength is often the key to whether or not an enemy can be killed in one strike.
"Keep up."
Jiang Ming turned away, no longer looking at them, but his tone said it all.
"You walk in the middle."
Xu Shishi was stunned for a moment, then her face broke into a joyful smile.
She squeezed Su Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, so excited she almost jumped up.
"Did you hear that, Little One? We can go now!"
Su Xiaoxiao also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glancing at the tall silver figure, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Um……"
Wang Yang leaned closer, looking at Jiang Ming with envy, and then at Su Xiaoxiao.
"Um... little sister, could I have a turn once I'm cooled down? I thought Brother Jiang's sword strike was so cool, I want to experience what it's like to be Superman!"
Li Bin pushed up his glasses and added insult to injury:
"That's a skill, it has a cooldown, and look at Jiang Ge's physique, even if you had the skill, you still couldn't make that kind of impact."
The group of seven began their journey in the direction they had taken to the goblin camp the previous night.
Jiang Ming walked at the front, his silver armor standing out conspicuously on the campus path.
The silver-white metallic combat boots shattered the invisible barrier at the school gate, and the sensation underfoot instantly changed from hard cement to soft and resilient meadow.
The nauseating stench of corpses in the air disappeared, replaced by a biting, cold wind mixed with the earthy smell and the fragrance of unknown wildflowers.
You have entered a danger zone!
[Current Location: Outer edge of vast mountains - Highland Plain (Lv.3-Lv.15)]
[Exploration progress started: 0.01%]
The blood-red warning box that popped up on his retina made Jiang Ming stop in his tracks.
Lv.15.
This number instantly puts the nerves under the visor on edge.
The previous Tranquil Forest was just a beginner area from Lv.1 to Lv.5, but here the starting level is Lv.3, and the upper limit is three times higher.
This means that any elite monster that suddenly appears could potentially have the strength to crush the previous goblin shaman.
"Where...where am I?"
Wang Yang followed behind, and as soon as he stepped out of the school gate, he froze on the spot.
The grove of trees that I had just become familiar with yesterday is now nowhere to be seen.
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast and boundless highland plain.
The waist-high, withered yellow grass undulated like ocean waves, and in the distance stretched a vast, undulating mountain range, its snow-capped peaks reflecting an eerie light under the two dark red suns.
The once vast forest seemed to have been wiped away by an invisible hand, leaving only this isolated school.
"We must have traveled to another place with the school."
Li Bin pushed up his glasses and gripped the poison piercing device in his hand even tighter.
Xu Shishi and Su Xiaoxiao huddled together in the middle of the group. The two girls looked at the desolate and unsettling scene and their bodies involuntarily leaned against each other.
"Could there be something in this grass?"
Su Xiaoxiao clutched at Xu Shishi's clothes, her voice barely audible.
"Definitely."
Jiang Ming did not turn around. His cold, metallic voice came from the gap in his mask, revealing no emotional fluctuation.
He raised his left hand, which was covered in steel armor, and made a "stop" gesture.
His perception attribute, which was as high as 13 points, allowed him to sense the dangerous aura emanating from the large patch of withered yellow grass that was half a person tall in front of him.
There was a sound of grass blades rubbing against fur.
There were also rapid, greedy, and wild breathing sounds.
"Prepare for battle."
Jiang Ming removed the forty-pound black iron horse-slaying sword from his shoulder with one hand, the tip of the sword pointing diagonally at the ground.
"Huh? What's strange?"
Wang Yang paused for a moment, then looked around while holding the Blazing Battle Axe.
next second.
The dense grass on the left suddenly burst open.
Five gray afterimages shot out like arrows, bringing a stench with them.
Its speed was astonishing, far exceeding that of any goblin they had encountered before.
【Highland Wolf (Lv.5)】
[Skills: Bite, Hunt]
Level 5 monster.
Moreover, they are agile predators that appear in groups.
"Be careful!"
Xu Shishi exclaimed in surprise and instinctively raised her fists, which were covered with brass knuckles, to block Su Xiaoxiao.
The wolf pack cooperated extremely well.
Two wolves charged straight at Jiang Ming at the front, intending to restrain him; two others circled around to the flanks, targeting the girl in the middle of the group whose defenses were weak; and finally, the slightly larger alpha wolf leaped high, opened its massive jaws full of fangs, and locked onto Jiang Ming's throat.
The tactics were perfect.
If it were the Jiang Ming of the past, he might have needed to raise his shield to defend himself and look for an opportunity to counterattack when faced with such an encirclement.
But now.
Jiang Ming didn't even adopt a defensive stance.
Just as the alpha wolf was about to bite his neck, he moved.
There are no fancy techniques or complicated movements.
It was simply, violently—swinging a sword.
The Black Iron Horse-Slaying Sword, enhanced with 20 points of strength, left a black fan-shaped afterimage in the air.
"Ugh—!"
The terrifying wind pressure struck the alpha wolf's face first, squeezing and deforming its originally ferocious expression.
Next comes the blade.
"puff!"
A dull, teeth-grinding bang.
The alpha wolf, leaping in mid-air, didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was swatted apart in mid-air by the massive sword, which was as big as a door panel, like swatting a fly.
Yes, it exploded.
The immense kinetic energy shattered its entire skeleton, and its internal organs, mixed with blood, exploded into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air.
The mangled wolf carcass flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the grass more than ten meters away, where it remained motionless.
