Chapter 5

: The Tiger Cloak!

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing a tiger that is above their level. Experience +100]

[Ding~ Congratulations on reaching level 2! You are rewarded with 4 free attribute points]

A system notification sounded, and Jiang Yan's body flashed with light as he successfully leveled up to level 2!

Without a doubt, he put all four of his free attribute points into his Spirit.

At this moment, his spirit attribute is 20, which translates to 40 magic attack. Adding the little bit of magic attack from the beginner's wooden stick, it becomes 41!

At this moment, he casts the lightning spell again, and the skill damage is 143.5 (41 * 350% skill damage bonus)!

The critical hit damage is 574 (143.5 * 400% critical hit damage bonus)!

In theory, he could kill the tiger with just two lightning spells!

Then, Jiang Yan excitedly stepped forward and picked up the things that Tiger had exploded.

A cloak glowing with bronze light, a large sword radiating white light, two silver coins, a tiger bone, and a tiger skin!

Five items dropped, including two pieces of equipment!

Jiang Yan quickly picked up all the items and put them into his backpack, then checked their attributes one by one.

Tiger skin: The softest belly skin on a tiger, which can be used to make a cape.

Tiger bone: Tiger spine, which can be used to brew tiger bone wine.

Jiang Yan glanced at both items briefly, focusing instead on the two pieces of equipment.

[Tiger Blade] (Basic): Physical Attack +3, Requirement: Warrior!

Another piece of equipment that he couldn't use himself, Jiang Yan looked expectantly at the last piece of equipment.

[Tiger Cloak] (Bronze): Agility +7, Wearing Requirements: None!

As expected of bronze equipment, it adds 7 points of agility and has no wearing restrictions. It's definitely a top-tier item!

Jiang Yan's agility was only 7 points. Wearing this cloak, his agility doubled, so he wouldn't be as embarrassed as before when facing the tiger!

Jiang Yan decisively put on the cloak and instantly felt much lighter. Walking on the bumpy woodland was as easy as walking on flat ground, no longer stumbling and falling as before.

At this moment, Jiang Yan's health points had been fully restored, and he immediately continued to delve deeper!

Soon, Jiang Yan spotted another large tiger, sharpening its claws against a big tree.

The hissing sound was like iron nails rubbing against an iron plate, giving people goosebumps all over their bodies.

Tiger: lv6

Health: 1000

Skills: Tiger's Roar (Stuns the target, reduces the target's movement speed), Bite (Accelerates the impact, deals massive damage to the target and causes continuous bleeding).

Jiang Yan approached cautiously, but the tiger was extremely alert and had already spotted him before he was even 20 meters away!

"roar!!"

The tiger unleashed its roar, and a -50 damage debuff appeared above Jiang Yan's head. At the same time, the tiger launched a bite attack, transforming into a blurry afterimage as it pounced straight at Jiang Yan.

Depend on! !

Jiang Yan cursed inwardly. This tiger is in heat! Seeing how excited he was, it immediately used two skills to attack.

Jiang Yan hurriedly ran around the nearby towering trees as usual, chanting lightning spells at the same time.

boom!!

When the tiger was a meter behind Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan finally finished chanting, and a thick bolt of purple lightning struck down!

-574

Crimson critical damage appeared above the tiger's head, instantly reducing its health bar by more than half!

The -1-1-1 Thunder Burn damage also appeared one after another.

Most importantly, after being struck by this lightning bolt, the tiger's speed was instantly reduced by 30%!

The tiger's claw, which was about to slap Jiang Yan's forehead, seemed to pause for a moment!

In that instant, the Tiger Cloak's +7 Agility came into play. At the crucial moment, Jiang Yan's knees buckled, and he quickly knelt down, perfectly avoiding the tiger's claws!

But the tiger's massive body, charging at breakneck speed, still crashed into Jiang Yan.

boom! !

-188!

A massive damage indicator appeared above Jiang Yan's head.

At this moment, his health points were only 1, and his mana points were directly converted into a second health bar!

But at this moment, Jiang Yan's magic power is only 301. If the tiger gets close, the consequences will be dire!

Jiang Yan immediately chose to stay away from the tiger. The 7 points of agility from the tiger cloak once again played a huge role. In just 1 second, he had already run more than five meters away.

"Roar!" The tiger quickly adjusted its position and charged at Jiang Yan again.

The tiger's skills also have a cooldown period. Although the exact time is unclear, you don't need to worry about it suddenly rushing at you for a short time.

Jiang Yan ran a few steps, and the cooldown of the lightning spell finally ended.

Hehe, go to hell!

Jiang Yan chanted the spell of lightning.

boom!!

A bolt of lightning struck, and crimson critical damage—-574—floated from the tiger's head!

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing a tiger that is above their level. Experience +100]

The tiger let out a mournful howl and collapsed, but unfortunately, there was no big explosion.

Only one silver coin and one tiger bone were found.

Jiang Yan picked it up and put it in his backpack, while simultaneously opening his experience bar: lv2 (160/500).

You need to kill three more tigers to reach level 3!

But the problem is, he has no blood left.

Watching his health and mana bars regenerate naturally at a rate of 1 point per second, Jiang Yan really wanted to run back to the village and buy a dozen or twenty bottles of red and blue potions.

But running back to the village and back would take at least an hour and a half.

If I choose to die and go back, what if the Tiger Cloak drops out?

After thinking it over, I could only sit there and wait for my health and mana to recover naturally.

That's just too inefficient. You can't just sit there for two minutes after you've killed a tiger.

After thinking it over and over, Jiang Yan suddenly looked up at the big tree above his head.

"Could I...?" Jiang Yanji thought to himself and immediately tried to climb the tree.

Jiang Yan had lived in the countryside as a child, so climbing trees was no stranger to him. Coupled with the 99% virtual realism of the game, Jiang Yan quickly mastered the climbing skills and successfully climbed up the tree.

It works!

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up as he climbed down the tree, then climbed up and down again to familiarize himself with the climb. After more than ten minutes, he began to move.

At this point, his health points had naturally recovered to full.

The dappled sunlight fell on the lush woodland. Jiang Yan kept his eyes peeled and proceeded cautiously.

He hadn't gone far when he spotted his target.

Jiang Yan decisively climbed the nearest tree, then raised his middle finger at the tiger a dozen meters away: "Come on, you!!"

"Roar?" The tiger turned its head and looked at Jiang Yan in the tree.

After a moment of hesitation, the tiger roared and charged at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan knew that tigers could climb trees, but as long as he could hold off the tiger for even a second, he would win!

40 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters!

Seeing the tiger run into his spell range, Jiang Yan immediately began chanting a lightning spell.

One second later, the lightning bolt struck down with a thunderous roar, slamming heavily onto the tiger's head!

-143

A pale red damage indicator appeared, followed by -1-1-1 Thunder Burn damage and a 30% speed reduction.

"Not a critical hit again." Jiang Yan cursed under his breath. By the time the lightning spell cooled down, the tiger had already run to the base of the big tree and leaped fiercely onto the trunk, quickly climbing up.

Jiang Yan sang again.

boom!

A bolt of lightning struck down from the treetop, slamming heavily onto the tiger's head, and a crimson critical damage indicator appeared: -574!

At this point, the tiger's health bar was down to one-third, which drove it into a frenzy, making it climb the tree even faster!

Jiang Yan kept retreating on the tree branch. Just as the tiger was about to rush over, he jumped down from the tree and rolled to dissipate the momentum. At this moment, the cooldown of the lightning spell ended.

He immediately began to chant.

At this moment, the tiger also jumped down from the tree and pounced fiercely on Jiang Yan.

"roar!!"

A tiger's roar erupted from its mouth, and a -50 damage indicator appeared above Jiang Yan's head.

Then, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.

-574!

The tiger died instantly after the crimson critical hit!

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing a tiger that is above their level. Experience +100]

"Hahaha, I've succeeded, Great-Grandpa!!"

Jiang Yan was overjoyed when he saw the tiger's corpse!

From the moment he came into contact with the tiger until he killed it, he only lost 50 HP, which he could naturally recover to full in just 50 seconds, greatly improving his leveling efficiency!

The drop rate is just unbearable!

Jiang Yan picked up the silver coin dropped by the tiger and opened the game forum to see if other people had the same drop rate as him.
