The Witcher: Grinding Proficiency Starting with the Witcher

The torches on the wall cast Daniel's shadow on the ground, covering a huge area of ​​darkness.

Paul looked up and could only make out Daniel's blinding cat eyes in the dim light. Daniel covered his mouth with both hands, his back teeth almost grinding to powder, and his body was trembling uncontrollably. He was clearly terrified.

Daniel glanced at Levi, "Get up, it's your turn."

Li Wei stood up, adjusted his breathing, and stepped towards the door.

Brand hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances with Finn and Anton, and followed behind Levi.

As for Paul, under Daniel's threatening gaze, he stood up shakily and walked to the back of the group.

"Bang!"

The wooden door behind him closed, and Li Wei didn't turn around, knowing that Daniel had blocked all escape routes.

He clenched his fists and walked towards the end of the corridor.

Soon, an iron gate gradually came into view.

The closer you get, the stronger the smell of blood becomes in the air.

My breathing became rapid, and my heart beat faster and faster.

To the right of the gate is a wooden weapon rack displaying more than a dozen knight's swords of different kinds.

The blade emitted a chilling, sinister light.

Unlike their usual training tools, these have all been sharpened.

Daniel's deep voice came from behind.

"From now on, you have ten seconds to choose a weapon. After ten seconds, I will open the gate."

Li Wei didn't dare to waste any time. He glanced at the weapon rack and immediately chose his usual two-handed knight's sword.

The [Sword Sense] trait is triggered.

[A two-handed knight's sword, weighing 2.45 kg and 105 cm in length, forged from fine iron with four quenching flaws, making it a high-quality weapon among ordinary iron weapons.]

Li Wei's eyes lit up.

"That's fine, this will do."

Upon seeing this, Daniel nodded silently and began counting down.

"May 4th..."

In their haste, Brand and his companions hastily selected a knight's sword that suited their needs.

Upon seeing the five men with their weapons, Daniel decisively pressed down on the bricks against the wall beside him.

"Snap!"

The floor shook violently, and everyone froze, turning to look back as Daniel's figure grew taller and taller in their line of sight.

"Good luck, little wolf cubs."

"Click click click!"

"It's an elevator trap!"

"That iron gate we just saw was a complete illusion."

Li Wei's lips twitched.

"Bang!"

The elevator arrived at the ground floor.

In the dim light, one could only vaguely make out that there was an extremely spacious place in front of them.

"What should I do? I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."

Without Daniel's restraint, Paul's voice trembled uncontrollably, and he was on the verge of collapse.

Li Wei frowned slightly.

To expect Paul to pick up a sword and fight the monster is simply wishful thinking.

Ultimately, you have to rely on yourself for everything.

He gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, stepped out of the elevator, and began to observe his surroundings.

The pupils gradually constrict, and the vision quickly adapts.

"Hiss!"

"Hehehe..."

The sound of tearing fabric, mixed with chewing sounds, came from not far away.

Li Wei tensed up, his gaze fixed on the scene.

In the center of the arena, a humanoid creature was crouching on the ground, facing him sideways.

Li Wei subconsciously took a few steps back, then gently stepped to the side, trying to get behind it.

"It's...it's Lant!"

Paul's voice came from behind him.

The humanoid creature froze, then slowly turned its head.

Its face was covered with blue scales, and it had a pair of dead fish eyes that emitted a ghostly green glow.

The fish's upturned lips and serrated teeth grind together as it chews on a leg that hasn't been completely gnawed off yet.

The green light kept spinning, as if it were searching for something.

Li Wei realized what was happening.

It's a sound.

Water ghosts have lived in the water for a long time, and their eyesight has long since deteriorated, so they hunt by sound.

Brand noticed this too and took a step forward to shut Paul up.

"Water...water ghost...it...it's eating Lant..."

"No... Daniel... I'm going to die..."

Paul dropped his sword, crawled back into the elevator behind him, and cried out for Daniel to save him.

Li Wei couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Idiot!"

Hearing the noise, the water ghost locked onto the location with its dead fish eyes, and the chunks of flesh mixed with blood fell to the ground from its mouth.

"Hehehe!"

A roar erupted, and it pawed at the ground with its limbs, rushing rapidly toward the elevator shaft.

In just a few breaths, I reached the elevator.

Brand, holding his knight's sword, stood there, and was completely terrified when he saw the ferocious face rushing towards him.

"laugh!"

A cold glint pierced the darkness.

"Waaah..."

The water ghost in front of them was hit by a huge impact and crashed into the corner at high speed.

Who?

Before Brand could react, he glanced to the side and saw a black-haired boy emerge from the shadows, sword in hand.

"Li...Li Wei..."

Levi merely glanced at him and said, "Go and shut Paul up."

"Yes……"

Brand didn't hesitate any longer and turned to find Paul. Finn and Anton quickly helped, pressing Paul's face against the wall so hard that his front teeth were almost knocked out.

Li Wei stared intently at the water ghost lying on the ground, his hands holding his sword, and slowly moved around it.

There was a deep, long gash in its waist, from which blood was constantly flowing out; it was from the sword strike he had just made.

If it were an ordinary creature, it would have run away long ago in pain.

But water ghosts are different; they don't know what pain is, let alone fear.

"Hehehe..."

The water ghost bent over, its dead fish eyes glaring angrily at Li Wei.

He spread his hands out, and slowly extended his slender, sharp claws.

The gills on its cheeks throbbed.

"ha!"

A sharp whistling sound echoed across the field.

This posture indicates that the water ghost has been completely enraged and has entered a state of berserk rage.

Li Wei's hands trembled, not from fear, but from the fact that his adrenaline had reached its peak.

Excitement!

The water ghost in front of me leaned forward, ready to sprint.

coming.

Li Wei's pupils contracted as the water ghost rapidly approached.

A cold glint fell.

"laugh!"

The blade and the claws collided, producing a violent hum.

Li Wei took a step back, sensing the opponent's power, which was much stronger than Lao Wen's.

The water ghost opened its fish-like lips and roared, spraying a strong stench and blood foam from its two rows of sharp teeth, which splattered onto Li Wei's face.

Li Wei was furious. "Don't you know your mouth stinks?"

[Body Coordination] Triggered, raise your right foot and kick the water ghost hard in the abdomen.

"Waaah..."

The water ghost stumbled back a few steps, but Li Wei caught up in time.

Slash!

The water ghost raised its claw to block, unleashing a burst of intense sparks.

The water ghost took a step back.

As the sword fell, Li Wei pressed his right hand to the left, twisted his waist, and swept it diagonally upwards.

Cross Slash!

A cold glint flashed across the water ghost's neck, drawing a line of blood.

The water ghost's body suddenly froze, making gurgling sounds as blood gushed out.

Its ferocious head tilted to the side, its terrifying dead fish eyes gleaming, and it fell to the ground with a dull thud that was clearly audible.

One sword and the head is severed.

Li Wei's Adam's apple bobbed.

The exchange just now was incredibly swift and intense.

Won.

I won!

Li Wei felt extremely happy.

[Host detected killing a Water Ghost, gained 25% Water Ghost mutant]

[Cross Slash Proficiency +10!]

[General martial arts proficiency +10!]

A system prompt appeared.

Li Wei's shoulders relaxed as he looked at the knight's sword in his hand, at the glaring crimson stain on the blood groove.

I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

It's Brand, Finn, and Anton.

Brand drew his sword and called out softly.

"Li Wei, let me help you."

Li Wei flicked the blood off his sword, turned around, and looked on with a lighthearted expression.

"Brand, thank you, but I think it's no longer necessary."

Brand and the other two were stunned. They looked at the headless water ghost behind Li Wei, their eyes widening in surprise.

Brand stammered, "Oh, gods above, you...you killed the water ghost all by yourself..."
