Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 26: Advancement

That's right, the gray wolf Li Wei had just killed gave him another 30 hunting experience points. Added to the previous 75 hunting experience points, it had reached 105 points, just enough to upgrade the One-Star Hunter Card.

【Already bound to Two-Star Hunter Card】

【Already changed profession to Professional Hunter】

【Acquired Professional Talent: Shooting accuracy with some ranged weapons and crossbow-type weapons increased to 40%】

【Automatically obtained 5 Free Attribute Points】

——

Absolutely fantastic!

But this should probably be considered a quick transition period for beginners.

Thinking this, Li Wei remembered tonight's decisive battle with the wolf pack. There were still three wolves outside, but it couldn't be ruled out that another one might spawn.So, he alone would have to hold off at least that black wolf and another gray wolf.

Then, how should he allocate these newly obtained five Free Attribute Points?

Strength, or Agility?

Earlier, when he was able to grab the perimeter wall at the critical moment and escape from the wolf's jaws, those 7 Agility points had played a crucial role.

They had greatly improved his body coordination, balance, and reaction speed.

However, for tonight's head-on battle, relying solely on Agility wouldn't be enough.

After thinking it over, Li Wei still added one point to Agility, bringing it to 8 points. Then he looked at his Defense attribute, which was 3 points. What if he added all four remaining points to it? What effect would 7 Defense points achieve?

Could it withstand wolf claws and bites?

He didn't know and didn't dare take the risk.

"Relatively speaking, Stamina is actually more important."

"Once Stamina is exhausted, it's impossible to recover quickly in a short time, leaving you completely at the mercy of others."

"Moreover, without Stamina, the Strength and Agility attributes can't really be utilized effectively."

At this point, Li Wei checked his Attribute Panel. When he woke up this morning, his condition had been excellent, but after that brief battle just now, he had actually consumed 50 Stamina points.

Especially the simple action of grabbing the perimeter wall and jumping back at the critical moment had consumed a full 40 points.

"So in a state of high tension, even doing nothing consumes Stamina."

"This must be taken as a warning to learn to control my emotions..."

"Don't follow Fila's example; excessive anxiety affects your condition."

By now, Li Wei had made up his mind. Without another word, he allocated all four remaining Free Attribute Points to Stamina, increasing it from 100 points to 140 points.

The next second, he suddenly felt hungry, extremely hungry.

It felt like a fire was burning in his stomach.

While greatly shocked, Li Wei hurriedly scrambled up, tore off a piece of wolf jerky, and began chewing vigorously.

Only after the wolf jerky entered his stomach did this hunger sensation slowly fade away.

Looking at his Stamina Points again, the recovery speed was actually much faster than usual.

It seemed there was some pattern hidden here.

"Moo!"

Inside the camp, the old ox was calling anxiously. It hadn't drunk water for two days, but fortunately, Li Wei had cut enough fresh grass earlier. While ensuring it wouldn't go hungry, this also provided some moisture, so although thirsty, it wasn't in immediate life-threatening danger.

Fila and Penny were both taking advantage of the time to rest.

The valley outside the camp was peaceful, except for swarms of buzzing flies and hopping grasshoppers and small birds flying around.

Li Wei was also very thirsty, but he could still endure it.

Around 3 PM, Fila and Penny came out of the house, both looking very serious.

"George, we plan to use a strategy of luring the enemy deep—meaning we'll let those wolves come inside and kill them at the entrance. Our only worry now is that they might not take the bait. If they keep circling outside with us, that would be absolutely terrible."

Fila spoke first.

"So we need to have two plans. If we can succeed in one battle, that would be excellent. If not, we'll go out and fight them head-on."

"Good, I agree."

Li Wei didn't mind either way. He was at his peak condition and felt he could handle two wolves in close combat without any problem.

"We need to block the cowshed entrance. George, you handle that. Mom, you go back and rest first. I'll make another hunting bow, hopefully it will be useful."

Penny suggested at this point.

With bows and arrows, even if they could kill one gray wolf in advance, it would be a huge advantage for the entire decisive battle. She wouldn't be stingy about this now.

Li Wei and Fila naturally didn't refuse.

Soon, the sun set. Although very thirsty, all three silently ate a piece of wolf jerky. After resting for a while, they lit bonfires in the camp. Fila even used grease to make three torches.

When night fell, wolf howls sounded again outside the camp.

"Open the gate!"

Li Wei and Penny worked together to move the obstacles from the camp perimeter wall's entrance. Meanwhile, Fila lit the torches, placing two on the perimeter wall at the entrance and holding the remaining one herself.

"George, once the wolf pack appears, remember, you only have one chance to shoot an arrow."

Penny whispered her instructions, sounding somewhat uneasy.

Li Wei didn't speak, just remained silent, breathing steadily, his mind calm. His condition was even better than Penny had imagined.

After moving most of the obstacles, the three immediately retreated some distance. The remaining obstacles were no longer enough to prevent the wolf pack from jumping in. That's right, they would have to jump in.

At this moment, Li Wei stood firm ten meters away, holding the hunting bow, nocking the last feathered wolf-tooth arrow, waiting quietly.

Wolf howls continued outside the camp, but they didn't seem to have discovered this gap, as the howls kept coming from the southeast direction.

"I'll go lure them!"

Penny showed considerable courage at this point, picking up her lumber axe and preparing to charge over.

"Wait, be careful of a trick!"

Li Wei quickly warned. That black wolf was very good at feinting; it had already succeeded twice.

Penny looked back at Li Wei, her eyelids lowered, speaking calmly, "I know, but in this situation, someone has to be the bait."

After saying this, she jumped onto the obstacles and shouted a couple of times toward the darkness outside the camp.

The wolf howls from the southeast direction of the camp instantly stopped, as if they were charging over.

Penny immediately turned around, preparing to jump back, but at the moment she turned, a black shadow rushed out from somewhere, pouncing down on Penny like lightning.

So treacherous! So cunning!

When had this black wolf sneaked over?

At this critical moment, a wolf-tooth arrow shot out, hitting the black shadow, though it was unclear where it struck. The black shadow's momentum remained unchanged, still knocking Penny down by inertia.

Everything happened too quickly.

After firing this arrow, Li Wei had already abandoned the hunting bow, quickly bent down to pick up the wooden spear, simultaneously gathering strength, springing up, and charging forward. His series of movements were as fast as a whirlwind, smooth and fluid, almost representing his peak performance. He estimated he could reach Penny's side in just two seconds and stab that black wolf to death.

That's right, it was that black wolf, the leader of the wolf pack.
