Chapter 47: boots of brutal beating!
Wu Shuang City has two city gates for players to enter and exit, an Eastern City Gate and a Western City Gate.
Monsters start appearing two kilometers away from the city gates.
The Monsters outside the Eastern City Gate are between level 10 and 15.
Of course, this doesn't mean there are only level 10-15 Monsters outside the Eastern City Gate; this is just the level range for the first Monster zone after leaving the city gate.
The Monster zone outside the Western City Gate, on the other hand, consists of Monsters above level 15.
At this stage, most players have just reached level 10 and arrived in the city; players in Wu Shuang City basically all go to the Eastern City Gate.
And the Eastern City Gate also has Wu Shuang City's first level 10 team dungeon.
Therefore, the Eastern City Gate has the most players.
In contrast, the Western City Gate is much, much quieter.
You can barely see any players.
Li Xiang left the Western City Gate and charged straight towards the Monster zone.
The two-kilometer distance, for him, only took a few minutes to run.
'Ding! You have entered the Tree Spirit Forest.'
Seeing this prompt, Li Xiang knew he had reached the Monster zone.
Looking around, there were no players.
He didn't see any Monsters either.
Li Xiang was confused and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, a sound of something cutting through the air appeared.
Li Xiang immediately activated Guardian Shield.
-0
A damage value appeared above Li Xiang.
Counterattack effect triggered.
Counter Blood effect triggered.
-1446
The damage value appeared above a small tree not far ahead.
Upon taking damage, black holes resembling a Human face appeared on the tree's trunk, which was a bit creepy.
Check attributes!
【LV15. Little Tree Spirit】
Quality: Normal
Health: 4014/5460
Physical Attack: 479~509
Physical Defense: 358
Magic Defense: 530
Skills: Vine Whip, Camouflage
【Commentary: A Little Tree Spirit skilled at camouflage, it will viciously whip You when You are not paying attention!】
Having fought many high-attribute Monsters, these small Monsters were no different from minor minions in Li Xiang's eyes.
The attack just now was the Little Tree Spirit's skill.
Vine Whip!
Another vine whipped towards him.
-0
Counterattack triggered again.
Counter Blood triggered.
Shadow Ambush also triggered.
-1446
-1446
Two Counter Blood damage instances landed on the Little Tree Spirit, and its health instantly dropped to only 1122.
'Tsk tsk... how pitiful, let me make You suffer a little less.'
At this moment, Li Xiang also walked in front of the Little Tree Spirit, grinned, and brought his staff down.
-7824
'Ding! Killed Normal Monster 'Little Tree Spirit', gained Experience x17.'
Looking at the 17 experience points, Li Xiang clicked his tongue.
'The level difference is too big, the experience points given are too few.'
'Continue forward.'
As Li Xiang delved deeper into the Tree Spirit Forest map, he opened his backpack.
'The four diamond-grade chests from clearing 'Rampaging Black Bear' haven't been opened yet.'
'Might as well open them while walking.'
Took out the chests.
【Diamond-grade Equipment Chest: Can open level-less, or level 20 diamond-grade equipment for any slot.】
Open!!!
【Ding! Opened Diamond-grade Equipment Chest (Level 20), obtained Diamond-grade Equipment 'Speed Boots' x1.】
【Speed Boots】
Quality: Diamond
Slot: Boots
Health +534
Mana +400
Agility +150
Durability: 100
Required Level: 20
Restriction: Assassin
【Commentary: Contains the power of rampage. Wear it, and You can enjoy the feeling of flying.】
'These boots have pretty good attributes!!!'
'I can switch!'
He immediately prepared to equip them.
'Ding! Your profession does not match the equipment's restricted profession.'
Seeing this prompt, Li Xiang was dumbfounded.
'Damn!!!'
'I forgot about the profession restriction!!'
After level 10, most equipment has specific profession restrictions; if the profession doesn't match, it cannot be equipped.
Li Xiang looked at the remaining three diamond-grade chests and lost the mood to open them one by one, so he opened them all at once.
The three chests ended up yielding two pieces of equipment he couldn't use. The last chest finally opened a piece of equipment he could wear, and it was also equipment for the boots slot!!!
Check attributes!!!
【boots of brutal beating】
Quality: Diamond
Slot: Boots
Health +600
Mana +720
Strength +55
Agility +153
Attribute: +1 Attack Speed
Physical Defense: 37
Magic Defense: 21
Durability: 100
Required Level: 20
Restriction: Physical
【Commentary: Do You want to brutally beat Your opponents? Are You still troubled by Your attack speed not being fast enough? Wear it, and You will have no worries!!!】
'Hiss!!!'
'A powerful piece of equipment has been born!!!'
The boots of brutal beating and Speed Boots are both level 20 diamond-grade equipment, but their attributes differ quite a bit!!
The boots of brutal beating completely crushed the Speed Boots just opened!!!
'Attack Speed +1 means the number of attacks per second increases by one. This is an awesome attribute that directly increases output!!'
Equip!!!
Panel attributes soared.
'...There are still 30 unallocated free attribute points?'
Li Xiang slapped his forehead, remembering these were attribute points rewarded from clearing the dungeon.
Clearing the dungeon gave 25 points, plus the 5 points unallocated from leveling up to 20, making it 30 points.
He added all of them to Strength in one go.
Compared to the nearly 700 Strength points, adding these 30 points was just adding a fraction.
Physical Attack increased by another chunk.
Li Xiang opened his panel.

【Commentary: This adventurer possesses the ultimate combat power for this level.】
'With these attributes, he's already a humanoid mobile BOSS!!!'
The level 20 Bronze BOSS Black Bear General he hammered in the dungeon earlier, aside from its health, didn't have stats as luxurious as Li Xiang's panel.
Nearly fifteen thousand health, over seventeen thousand mana, Physical Attack exceeding 4000, Physical Defense exceeding 4000, and nearly 2500 Magic Defense, plus damage reduction from his equipment.
Let alone normal Monsters, even same-level BOSSes without high quality wouldn't be able to break Li Xiang's defense.
'Strong!!!'
Closing the panel, Li Xiang found that he had unknowingly walked deep into the Tree Spirit Forest.
Snap!
A vine whipped him.
-0
Counterattack triggered, Counter Blood triggered.

He immediately found the Monster that attacked himself.
【LV21. Great Tree Spirit】

Magic Defense: 778

【Commentary: A Great Tree Spirit skilled at camouflage, it will viciously whip living beings with vines when they are not paying attention! It seems to have some kind of pleasure in whipping and 'disciplining'!】
Compared to the Little Tree Spirit, its attributes have increased significantly.
'Level 21!!! Just right for grinding the hidden profession quest!'
Li Xiang excitedly charged forward.
