I, who became an avatar, just want to survive

Is it true that actual combat can provide more experience than training?

Then Lin Yu looked at the character level, which was already level 15, while Zhen Gu was still level 13.

Lin Yu remembered very clearly that before coming to Teng Xishan, he was still level 14.

You can use experience to level up, but Zhengu and the others don’t have a system, so they can only rely on their own efforts.

The system is really convenient.

Lin Yu, who was sighing, suddenly found that there seemed to be something extra in his status bar. After clicking on it, he found that there were two buffs, one dark and one bright.

The effect is not explained, but the effective time is... permanent?

Is this a passive skill?

Switching the page to the skill column, Lin Yu finally found these two skills on the power source sub-page.

First, there is an extra sentence after the power source: Due to the special power source, the affinity of the chosen one for water and its affiliated elements increases with level (unlocked at level 15); a skill is randomly unlocked every 15 levels (the skill unlocks the highest level, and the skill usage method is immediately obtained after clicking on the learning button, and it cannot be upgraded.)

Power source derived skills:

Increase affinity with water element and its subordinate elements (increase the power of water breathing by 10%)

Gain experience through various channels (increase by 50%; including skill experience, role experience)

After the experience is upgraded, it shows that it has not been learned, so is the buff just now dark?

Of course, Lin Yu would not keep this skill that could help him level up faster, and directly clicked to learn it.

【Experience gain increased, learning completed.】

As the dialog box appeared, the buff below Lin Yu's task status bar began to flash.

After completing the learning, Lin Yu did a somersault and performed a full set of water breathing on the spot, stunning Zhen Gu who was sitting at the entrance of the cave watching the wind.

Yu...do I need to practice water breathing before going to bed?

After practicing Water Breathing, Lin Yu looked at the experience bar and found that it was indeed more than when he practiced before.

Seeing the cute Zhen Gu with a puzzled look on his face, Lin Yu was so happy that he couldn't help but pounce on him.

"Hey, Yu, what are you doing?" Zhen Gu's face turned red when Lin Yu threw him to the ground. Although Zhen Gu usually liked to stick to Lin Yu, this was the first time that Lin Yu took the initiative, which made Zhen Gu a little flustered.

"Zhen Gu, our chances of survival have increased." Lin Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at Zhen Gu under him.

"Ah...ah?" Zhen Gu looked cute, not knowing what was wrong with Lin Yu.

But at times like this, you usually need a hug, right?

Zhen Gu stretched out his hesitant little hand and slowly hugged Lin Yu.

The excited Lin Yu did not pay attention to Zhen Gu's little actions. She had a new plan in her mind.

If Lin Yu just wanted to pass this selection and join the Demon Slayer Corps safely before obtaining this skill, but now... the 50% increase in experience is worth it for Lin Yu to do some risky things.

For example...the hand ghost that she had always regarded as an imaginary enemy.

Maybe I can try to challenge it with Zhengu.

As long as you are careful, even if you can't defeat them, escaping shouldn't be a problem.

But before that, you still need to use monsters to upgrade.

Well... let's start with the ghosts around us.

You have to get some rest. There's plenty to do tonight.

It should be safe during the day, so let's cancel the so-called shifts.

Lin Yu picked up Zhen Gu directly and walked towards the depths of the cave under the other party's confused and red-faced gaze.

Chapter 6: Long Tongue Ghost

Half an hour later, Zhen Gu, who was curled up in Lin Yu's arms, still didn't understand what Lin Yu was thinking.

What happened to the two of us taking turns to rest? How can I keep watch if you keep watch like this?

Do I have to act as your pillow while I'm keeping watch?

In Lin Yu's warm arms, Zhen Gu, who was daydreaming, fell asleep quickly.

Because they were alert all night last night, the two of them slept until the evening today.

Zhen Gu stretched and got up and found that Lin Yu, who was supposed to be holding him, was sitting at the entrance of the cave watching the wind.

"Yu...are you okay?" Zhen Gu walked to Lin Yu, leaned on her shoulder and watched the sunset together.

"It's okay, I just came up with a new plan."

"what's the plan?"

"Kill the ghost."

"Hey? But didn't you say during the day that our first condition is to survive?" Zhen Gu couldn't keep up with Lin Yu's train of thought for a while.

"That's why I said I came up with a new plan." Lin Yu showed a fox-like smile.

"I always feel that Yu has other ideas, but I do want to help others."

As the two chatted, the earth was gradually shrouded in darkness, and soon roars were heard all around, and the ghosts began to move.

"Let's go." After putting their weapons in order, Lin Yu and Zhen Gu jumped to the ground together, "Let's continue to head west, and after we clear out the ghosts over there, we'll start heading east."

Zhengu nodded slightly.

I don’t know if it’s because of the bad weather today, but the ghosts they encountered along the way were not even as powerful as the one they killed for the first time yesterday.

In Lin Yu's eyes, this group of trash were just like the worst zombies in Resident Evil.

Even water breathing is not possible.

While killing ghosts, Lin Yu was always paying attention to the changes in the experience bar.

As expected, this kind of rubbish can't give much experience even if it increases.

After swinging his sword to cut off the ghost that was jumping on someone else, Lin Yu sighed and put away his weapon, "Zhen Gu, let's go east."

"Yeah." Zhen Gu jumped down from a tree nearby. Just now, because of rescuing someone, the two of them were surrounded.

That's why Zhen Gu and Lin Yu were separated for a short while.

"Thank...thank you." The voice of the rescued person sounded behind him, but Lin Yu just waved slightly and left with Zhen Gu.

"Are we still going to the cave today?"

"This... let's not go." Lin Yu looked at the cave and found two or three ghosts standing on it. Zhen Gu also noticed this abnormality and asked.

"It's obviously a good place." Zhen Gu puffed his lips.

"Leave it to others, we will set out to the east."

"I totally don't understand what you're thinking." Zhen Gu grabbed the Sun Wheel Sword and took two or three steps to catch up with Lin Yu who was walking in front.

"Hehe, I just figured it out." Lin Yu replied with a smile.

The two of them left the woods in the west while talking, and when Lin Yu crossed the stream, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"Go back, don't go east."

It's a rabbit! Lin Yu immediately looked around, but there was silence all around, and no one could be seen.

"What's wrong?" Zhen Gu saw Lin Yu suddenly start to be dazed and hurried over.

"I seemed to hear the voice of Xuantu..." Lin Yuyu hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth.

“Xiantu…” Zhengu’s mood instantly dropped, “Xiantu he…”

"Maybe it's hallucination." Lin Yu took Zhen Gu's hand, "We can't die here, even if it's for the rabbit, we have to get out alive."

"Yeah." Zhen Gu pulled Lin Yu and walked towards the woods in the east.

The ghosts on the east side were obviously much stronger than those on the west side. They were all surrounded and the number of ghosts was about the same. When he was on the west side, Lin Yu couldn't even use the Water Breathing, but here Lin Yu used the Liuliu Dance to barely kill this group of people. Zhen Gu beside him also used sword skills to defeat the enemy.

Zhen Gu walked to Lin Yu and said, "Sure enough, all the powerful ghosts have come here."

"There are many players here, so it's understandable that strong ghosts come here." Lin Yu looked around. Unlike the west, the environment in the east was drier.

But this is only temporary. It is cloudy tonight and it might rain tomorrow. Without sunshine, Lin Yu is not sure whether ghosts can move around during the day. He hopes that they cannot come out, otherwise these seven days will be very painful.

"Continue eastward?"

"Well, of course we have to keep going." As Lin Yu spoke, a ghost fell from the sky with a wild laugh.

Although this attack did not work, the shock wave it produced was not small. If they had not dodged it, Lin Yu and Zhen Gu would probably have been turned into meat paste on the spot.

"Delicate body, hehe." As the ghost spoke, it stuck out its long tongue and swirled it around its face.

Ah, let's just call this guy a long-tongued ghost.

Lin Yu quickly gave him a nickname in his mind.

"I like children the most, especially younger girls." The long-tongued ghost looked at Lin Yu with a grin, "White long straight-haired Lolita and black short-haired Lolita, you are so lucky today."

"Who are you talking about loli?" Lin Yu and Zhen Gu spoke at the same time.

“Hehehe… You’re still a tsundere.” The long-tongued ghost laughed and got on all fours. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die immediately. After all, I’ve been enduring for a whole year.”

"Pervert." Lin Yu drew out the Sun Wheel Sword and rushed towards the long-tongued ghost, while Zhen Gu provided support from the side.

Judging from the sneak attack just now, the opponent is no small fry, and it is very dangerous to attack rashly from the air.

The distance between the two sides was not very far. Lin Yu took three or two steps to the long-tongued ghost and chopped it down with a knife.

However, the "puff" sound did not appear, but a "ding" sound appeared instead. At the same time, Lin Yu felt his palms going numb and he quickly retreated. Zhen Gu on the side immediately made up for the attack, but no matter where Zhen Gu hit, there was a crisp "ding" sound.

"Your body is so stiff." Zhen Gu jumped to Lin Yu's side and took a alert posture.

"This kind of attack doesn't hurt me at all." The long-tongued ghost twisted its neck 180 degrees strangely, making Zhen Gu shudder all over.

Lin Yu on the side increased the strength of his grip on the knife. Could it be that there are other strong people here besides the hand ghost?

My body is so hard, what should I do?

"You're not going to attack anymore? Then I'm going to take action." The long-tongued ghost laughed and attacked the two of them.
