Chapter 44 Attribute Seeds
In fact, when Yu Che ended the forced teleportation and saw the monster girl appear behind the knight, his surprise was no less than that of the knight.
After all, the monster girl was definitely born within the Silent Forest labyrinth, so why was she sent outside the labyrinth during the forced teleportation process when the labyrinth disappeared?
However, Yu Che immediately noticed that the monster girl was being pulled by two vines, the ends of which were tightly wrapped around another knight.
He understood immediately. The monster girl had obviously returned secretly after he left, subdued the wounded swordsman, and tied him up.
But just at that moment, the maze's duration ended, and the sword-wielding knight, who was still alive, was forcibly teleported away, along with the monster girl who was dragging him along.
"This is... troublesome." Yu Che looked at the monster girl with some helplessness. "Do you know? Once you come out this time, you won't be able to go back anytime soon."
The Silent Forest Maze has disappeared. Although it is supposed to respawn according to the rules, this maze is extremely rare, with a very low probability of appearing. Not to mention, even if it does appear, they might not be able to find the entrance.
In other words, the monster girl probably won't be able to return to her home for a long time.
The monster girl didn't seem to understand what he meant, or perhaps she hadn't even heard what Yu Che said at all. Instead, she looked around with surprise and excitement.
Watching the flocks of birds flying overhead and the wild rabbits running through the forest, the monster girl tugged at Yu Che's arm with a curious expression, seemingly wanting him to catch a couple for her to play with.
In short, she doesn't seem anxious about leaving home at all; she only has curiosity about the vast world outside.
Seeing her carefree attitude, You Che couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, since you don't care, I won't worry about it anymore."
"In any case, you got out of the maze because of me, so come with me. I'll protect you."
The monster girl seemed to understand the meaning of his words.
She happily raised her hands, revealing an innocent and pure smile.
"Well then, let's tidy up this place first."
Yu Che approached the two unconscious knights and checked their condition.
[Special Status: Coma, Highly Toxic (Dragon's Blood Flower Toxin)]
Yu Che raised an eyebrow and looked at the monster girl again.
However, considering that she can eat dragon blood flowers as a snack, it's not surprising that she would use the toxins in dragon blood flowers, which doesn't prove anything.
Even for a level 20 knight, a large dose of dragon's blood flower toxin is irresistible, and the monster girl can move completely silently in the forest environment, so it's not surprising that the two knights were ambushed and poisoned by her.
Having been poisoned by the Dragon Blood Flower, the two knights only had a few minutes left to live, and even in their unconscious state, they would feel intense pain.
You Che was a kind-hearted man. Although these knights had attacked him first, he couldn't bear to see them suffer so much, so he immediately decided to send the two men on their way.
However, just as he was about to end their suffering with his dagger, the monster girl suddenly reached out and stopped him.
You Che looked at her in surprise, somewhat confused about what she wanted to do.
Could it be that they want to save the two knights?
The problem is that even if she thought so, she needed a very high-level antidote to cure the Dragon Blood Flower poison, and neither You Che nor the two knights had one.
Besides, why would a monster girl save them?
However, Yu Che soon realized that he was wrong.
The monster girl approached the two knights, who were unconscious but whose brows were furrowed and who were in great pain, and raised her hands.
A magical light emanated from her body, and clusters of dark brown vines, with a texture similar to tree roots, grew and extended from her arms, wrapping around the two knights and almost completely enveloping them.
While You Che was still observing the situation, he saw the tips of the vines mercilessly pierce into the bodies of the two knights!
Yu Che: "!?"
The vines that had entangled the two knights began to pulsate like blood vessels, their surfaces shimmering with a deep red glow, as if they were absorbing the knights' flesh and blood.
You Che was startled, but he soon realized that the roots were not devouring flesh and blood, but rather absorbing something else.
Unlike those captured by mutated plants like vampire vines, the two knights were not gradually drained of their life force and died; their bodies remained unchanged.
only……
[? ? ? (Unknown Knight)]
【LV23→LV22→……LV6→LV5→……LV1】
The other person was in the same situation, being entangled and drained by the vines, and their levels were constantly decreasing!
Even You Che felt a chill run down his spine at the sight!
A few moments later, their heads drooped limply, and they remained motionless.
There was no need for You Che to confirm their fate, because the experience points from the two had already been credited to his account, and he and the monster girl split them equally, each receiving 220 points.
A flash of light, and the monster girl leveled up.
However, You Che didn't have time to care about that; he was just staring intently at the vines wrapped around the two of them.
After absorbing the knight's level and power, the two vines quickly grew upwards and intertwined. Finally, their tops opened up and produced two inconspicuous little flowers. After quickly withering, each flower produced a seed with a peculiar luster.
Yu Che: "!!"
"Could this be...?"
Before he could speak, the monster girl had already taken the two seeds and handed them to him.
You Che looked closely, then froze.
[Power Seed: Increases Strength attribute by 1 upon use]
[Agility Seed: Increases Agility attribute by 1 upon use]
"Attribute seeds, so they really are these things!?"
You Che rarely exclaimed in surprise, as this was truly beyond his expectations.
Attribute seeds, as the text description suggests, are special consumable items that can improve one's corresponding attribute when used.
Although each one can only increase the attribute by 1 point, the key point is that the attribute increase is not the extra value brought by equipment - the kind of bonus that is not counted in many attribute calculations, but a real increase in the basic attribute.
For many character builds, the difference between changing jobs and learning skills often comes down to just one or two key attributes, and that can solve the problem.
Therefore, even in the gaming era, attribute seeds were priceless and unavailable.
You Che remembers that only some extremely rare plants that grow in special mazes have a small chance of producing this item in the game.
This monster girl actually has the ability to induce the growth of attribute seeds?
It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by the monster girl's abilities. The Wanderer's only problem is his stats and growth potential, and the Attribute Seed could perfectly solve that.
However, it's clear that her skill comes with conditions, and those conditions seem a bit...
You Che turned to look at the two knights' corpses and fell silent for a moment.
He wasn't really sure whether the two of them were poisoned by the dragon blood flower or whipped to death by the vines.
"Hmm?"
The monster girl looked at Yu Che, who was frowning in thought, and seemed not to understand why he didn't take the two seeds. So she moved forward a little more, almost touching Yu Che's face.
You Che was both amused and exasperated. He took a step back, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't rush that. Can I see your personal panel? Like this."
He first projected his own personal panel as a demonstration, teaching the monster girl how to open the panel.
The monster girl was clever and quickly understood what he meant, nodding without any doubt.
She raised her hand, projecting her panel in front of You Che:
"Hmm!"
