With a roar, the leader of the One-Eyed Forest Monsters finally managed to break free of the Black Lizard Whip just as the blade struck his head.
But it's too late.
The incredibly sharp blade had already struck its head.
The blade cut into its skull and severed its brain.
Its single, blood-red eye revealed immense pain and resentment.
So, before it died, it threw a punch with resentment.
This punch landed squarely on Chen Zhong.
"Ah!" Chen Zhong screamed and was sent flying backward.
"Chen Zhong".
Chen Hao's expression changed, and he quickly rushed to Chen Zhong's side.
"Chen Zhong, how are you?"
Dark red blood with foam was seen spilling from the corner of Chen Zhong's mouth.
Then, Chen Hao looked at the [fine iron armor] on Chen Zhong's body, where a huge fist mark had appeared.
The fist mark was deeply imprinted on it, surrounded by a ring of cracks.
As soon as Chen Hao reached out to touch it, the iron armor shattered into pieces on the ground.
The tattered clothes underneath revealed a dark bruise on Chen Zhong's stomach.
"My lord, my lord, I'm alright."
Chen Zhong looked at Chen Hao and said in a weak voice.
"You're fucking dead, and you're still saying you're fine."
Chen Hao's face was ashen.
Judging from Chen Zhong's condition, his internal organs had clearly been injured.
If it weren't for this [fine iron armor] which blocked most of the force, his stomach would probably have been punched through by now.
No matter how capable Chen Hao is, he can't save him.
"Fortunately, I still have a bottle of internal injury healing medicine."
Without hesitation, Chen Hao took out a purple card, which, after being used, condensed into a bottle of green liquid.
After opening the bottle, Chen Hao poured the contents directly into Chen Zhong's mouth.
Immediately afterwards, he began chanting incantations and casting a spell.
Soon, a [Water Healing] spell landed on Chen Zhong.
The bruises on Chen Zhong's stomach were fading rapidly.
At the same time, the pained expression on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of comfort.
A short while later, Chen Zhong started coughing.
He vomited a clump of black blood containing ruptured internal organs.
After vomiting three mouthfuls of this stuff, Chen Zhong finally caught his breath.
"Chen Zhong, how are you feeling now?"
"My lord, I feel wonderful."
"My body doesn't hurt at all anymore, and my stomach feels much better too."
Chen Zhong looked at Chen Hao with gratitude.
He knew who had saved him.
Then, Chen Zhong stood up from the ground and jumped around a bit.
This means he is indeed almost fully recovered.
Chen Hao was finally relieved.
"By the way, how's your job change quest going?"
"Rest assured, my lord, we have already reached two-thirds of the way through."
"That's good."
Then, Chen Zhong walked up to the corpse of the One-Eyed Forest Monster Leader and kicked it hard.
Then he pulled out the [Mysterious Gold Purple Flame Blade] that was almost embedded in its head.
She returned to Chen Hao's side.
"My lord, this is the card that dropped after I killed that monster."
As he spoke, Chen Zhong handed a stack of cards to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao took a look.
There were eight cards in total, but unfortunately, there were no gold cards this time.
Eight cards, four purple, two blue, and two white.
Among the four one-star purple cards, there are two resource cards, one equipment card, and one extraordinary skill card.
[One-Star Resource Card (Purple) - 12 Animal Hides: Can be used to craft leather armor]
[One-Star Resource Card (Purple) - 12 Bowstrings: Can be used to craft a bow]
[One-Star Equipment Card (Purple) - Cyclops Necklace: Forged using a special method from the eye of the Cyclops leader, it possesses two effects: Invigorate and Bloodrage.]
Invigorate: When activated, it increases your strength by 30% for one minute. It can only be used once a day.
Blood Rage: When activated, it puts the user in a state of continuous rage, doubling their power and making them completely immune to pain. It lasts for ten seconds and can only be used once a day.
[One-Star Extraordinary Skill Card (Purple) - Blood Awakening: Consumes a certain amount of True Qi to activate one's own Blood Qi. This can be applied to weapons, increasing their attack power and strength, or to the body, increasing one's own defense. Learning requirement: Martial Artist class change.]
After looking at the four cards, Chen Hao took out the purple card, "One-Eyed Necklace," and handed it to Chen Zhong.
"Chen Zhong, this is quite suitable for you."
"Take it and use it."
"Thank you, my lord."
Chen Zhong quickly took the card, and upon seeing the information on it, his face lit up with joy. He used it immediately.
A necklace with an eye embedded in it appeared in his hand.
Its eyes were blood red, and it looked very similar to the dead leader of the One-Eyed Forest Monster.
The necklace had an odd design, but Chen Zhong didn't mind and simply put it around his neck.
Then there are two blue cards.
One iron card, one equipment card.
[One-Star Equipment Card (Blue) - Fine Iron Armor Upper Body: Chainmail made of refined steel, possessing excellent defensive capabilities and a sturdy effect that increases defense by 30% for one minute. Can be used once a day.]
Another [Fine Iron Armor] has appeared. It was just put on Chen Zhong, but it was shattered by the [One-Eyed Forest Monster Leader]'s dying blow. And now another one has appeared.
It is clear that Chen Zhong and this [fine iron armor] are destined to be together.
So Chen Hao gave the card to Chen Zhong as well.
Chen Zhong happily accepted it, used it, and a set of [Excellent Iron Armor] appeared in his hand, which he put on immediately.
The size is just right.
The last two white cards weren't anything special, so I won't go into detail.
Then, Chen Hao examined the cards dropped by the [One-Eyed Forest Monsters] he had just killed.
Because they are all elite creatures, they drop a relatively large number of purple and blue cards.
Including the three purple cards dropped by the [Two-Headed Cyclops], there are a total of six purple cards.
There are as many as twelve blue cards.
Of the six purple cards, there are two resource cards, one equipment card, one extraordinary skill card, one building card, and one special card.
[One-Star Supply Card (Purple) - 100 catties of flour: Edible]
[One-Star Supply Card (Purple) - 20 Jin of Dried Mushrooms: Edible]
[One-Star Equipment Card (Purple) - Woodland Boots: Forged from the tough hide of a Cyclops and refined iron, these boots are extremely sturdy and durable, and come with both jumping and speed boost effects.]
Jump: When activated, your jumping ability is doubled for one minute. It can only be used once a day.
Speed Up: Once activated, the speed doubles for one minute. Can only be used once a day.
[One-Star Extraordinary Skill Card (Purple) - Poison Arrow: Consumes 30 mana to condense a poison arrow to attack the enemy] (This skill can only be learned by a poison-attribute mage)
[One-Star Building Card (Purple) - Dormitory: Select a 4x4 area, place the building there, and you will get one dormitory building with 4 rooms, each with 4 beds.]
[One-Star Special Card (Purple) - Mana Card: Increases mana by 30 points upon use]
Looking at the mana card, Chen Hao used it without saying a word.
This was the first time he had ever gotten this kind of card from a monster.
"A dormitory would be fine, at least it would give everyone a bed to sleep in."
As for who gets to move in, that's naturally up to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao already had someone in mind.
"Poison Arrow Technique, is it for a poison-attribute mage?"
Poison is far more potent than water.
Unfortunately, Chen Hao couldn't learn it. He wasn't a poison-attribute mage, and his spell slots were all full.
"We'll have to put it in the warehouse."
Then there were the woodland boots, which Chen Hao took out and used without hesitation.
Take off your blue "Tiger Run" shoes and give them to Chen Zhong to wear.
Although Chen Zhong was shorter than Chen Hao, his feet were about the same size.
It fits quite well when worn.
