Comprehensive Network: The Chosen One Who Started from Speed-farming and Destroying Ashes

Chapter 22 Omens of the Abyss (Two Updates!)

"Network notification: You have defeated the boss monster - Shadowclaw Wolverine, and you have completed the objective of this instance..."

Yi Qingfeng sat on the ground, waiting for a reply.

He cut off the still somewhat furry tail of the Shadowclaw Wolverine and placed it on the ground.

It seems he still needs a weapon suitable for close-quarters combat...

Or perhaps, he needs to acquire some unarmed skills.

The bloody battle just now made Yi Qingfeng think thoughtfully.

The Holy Slash can also be unleashed with bare hands.

However, this is in contrast to the primary means of release through weapons.

The power of the Holy Slash, unleashed bare-handed, is undoubtedly greatly reduced.

Essentially, it's still an added value to attack damage.

Paladins do not receive any bonuses when unarmed.

This is also why Yi Qingfeng didn't choose to use his hands to unleash the Holy Slash to stop the Shadow Claw Wolverine.

Or it may work:

But in the situation just now, he no longer had the cost of trial and error...

At this moment, the wound on my neck is healing rapidly.

Yi Qingfeng looked at the Shadowclaw Wolverine that had been left aside.

This thing looks like a slightly larger wild dog.

But the level of danger is undoubtedly another dimension...

Honestly:
Yi Qingfeng thought this guy should be called "Storm Wolverine".

If it weren't for that sudden, unexpected gust of wind.

He wouldn't have been directly choked and put in such a dangerous situation.

Fortunately, he was ultimately the more skilled one...

Like most wild animals, the Shadowclaw Wolverine exudes a pungent, gamey stench.

This is normal:

Even among humans living on Earth, not everyone has the habit or the means to shower every day.

Moreover, what about wild animals?

Yi Qingfeng didn't plan to eat this stuff.

He was quite interested in the dire wolves from before.

After all, dog meat, which shares the same origin, has a considerable audience.

Although Yi Qingfeng doesn't eat dog meat, he still has some interest in honing his culinary skills with dire wolves, which are theoretically similar to him.

Unfortunately, there wasn't time to deal with it then...

So much good meat wasted...

Yi Qingfeng thought with a hint of regret.

…………

…………

The forest did not make up for Yi Qingfeng's regret.

But it brought another benefit:

When Yi Qingfeng was on the mountaintop, he smashed a wild deer that seemed to have drunk some kind of green-glowing magic potion and whose eyes were red as it charged at him.

Looking around, the hilltop was littered with the carcasses of all sorts of animals...

With the amplification of monster numbers due to the Star Chart talent, the meat production of this small hill is now almost comparable to the edge of a famous virtual mountain in Earth Online...

only:

Yi Qingfeng kicked away the wild rabbit at his feet.

Even this little thing's eyes were so red they looked like they were about to become deformed.

Rabies?
Or perhaps, some kind of epidemic from another dimension?

There is no detailed record of this on the integrated network panel.

However, it's also possible that the website thinks:
Normal gamers wouldn't try to exploit the edible value of such beasts.
This was clearly not the work of a Shadowclaw Wolverine.

Because Yi Qingfeng also discovered the same symptoms in the other person.

I wonder if it will pollute the forest...

Yi Qingfeng thought with deep concern.

He also plans to gather some wild mushrooms and other mountain products here.

Now it seems:

Something about this instance world is a little off.

In a dimension currently beyond his comprehension, there exists an alien source of contamination…

The current level of openness in this instance has exceeded Yi Qingfeng's expectations.

He has already crossed several mountains.

Looking around:
Surrounded by dense forests, the mountains remain as before...

Yi Qingfeng felt that this dungeon was probably impossible to clear completely.

These wild animals are too scattered.

As mentioned earlier, the increase in the number of monsters is not an illogical anomaly. Rather, it is like wild beasts with different species.

Even in the dimension of the cross-server instance, it won't spawn a herd of wild deer in the dire wolf's territory...

For other players focusing on the main battleground of the network, they naturally don't need to pay much attention to these things.

At least, the monsters in the dungeon are not driven by a leader like an army.

They can selectively eliminate a portion of the monsters.

But for Yi Qingfeng:

Just like the incredibly spacious instance area right now.

He often finds it difficult to fully utilize the benefits of the monster groups in the Star Chart talent.

After all, traveling is quite tiring.

It seems that at this stage, we need to select some relatively small-scale copies.

Yi Qingfeng thought to himself.

It was at this moment that Yi Qingfeng suddenly noticed something unusual.

He felt something watching him.

However, his hostility detection did not register.

Yi Qingfeng, who already had experience with this, was no stranger to it.

He stood up without making a sound.

next moment:
With the activation of divine power, an invisible force suddenly spread out!
Yi Qingfeng suddenly turned around and locked his gaze on the humanoid figure in the bushes not far away!

Upon seeing this, the other party panicked and fled.

But he tripped over a bush and fell to the ground...

Yi Qingfeng did not rush to approach, nor did he make a sound.

Instead, they were examining this humanoid life form with horns on its head...

demon?

It doesn't seem that weak...

He looked at this alien life form with a face that was completely different from the people he was familiar with, yet it could still be roughly classified as human.

Yi Qingfeng did not launch an attack.

But he didn't go any closer.

This was the first time he had received an encounter with an alien intelligent life form so closely.

Although he also added a friend who was probably a goblin merchant.

It's like the image of a friend on a cybernetic network.

It can be a two-dimensional creation, or it can be some kind of wild beast.

But none of this will bring any real physical sensation.

A living—alien intelligent life form…

This is also why Yi Qingfeng did not launch an attack immediately.

Of course, he was also prepared to charge and fight.

Although the other party's presence was not displayed in the cross-network instance panel.

But this doesn't mean that the other party is necessarily an insignificant enemy...

According to discussions on the Zongwang Forum, it could also be a random event?
Realizing that Yi Qingfeng had not launched an attack, the horned alien intelligent life form scrambled to its feet in a panic.

It looked at Yi Qingfeng, its eyes filled with unspeakable fear:

"I salute you, sir."

It spoke in a language that Yi Qingfeng had never heard before.

At this moment, Yi Qingfeng was able to clearly understand the meaning behind the other party's words.

Language proficiency within the context of the cross-network instance dimension?

The content of a post that Yi Qingfeng had once come across flashed through his mind.

It's roughly like this:

The integrated network copy will automatically load sections in languages ​​that are familiar to the user.

This allows even players without corresponding supernatural abilities to communicate with intelligent beings within the dungeon.

Of course, this doesn't necessarily apply once one leaves the apprenticeship stage...

At that very moment, a new notification appeared on Yi Qingfeng's retina:

"Network notification: You have triggered a prerequisite event for Abyss difficulty: Child of the Demon..."

"

Child of the Demon:

Event Type: Abyss Difficulty Prerequisite

Difficulty unlocked corresponding to: Corrupted Iron Oak
Event Description:

After a bloody battle in the jungle, you discover a demon's son who is detached from the battlefield.

It might provide you with some valuable information...

Or perhaps, you can grant it a scarlet redemption...
