Don't call me evil god

Chapter 149 Border Rat
After determining the direction of advance based on the main mission and the map, Old Bill and his companions were even more enthusiastic than Pete and his companions, and took the initiative to open up a path and explore ahead.

Full of motivation, no intention of slacking off at all.

On the one hand, they felt that they had been blessed by the God of Knowledge, and naturally they should serve this god who bestowed blessings on them!

On the other hand, after Pate’s introduction, they have understood the value of knowledge points!
As long as you have enough points, you can redeem all kinds of knowledge, including the magic of the God of Glory and the God of Harvest.

They can also cast magic with their own strength!
The diseases these refugees suffer from are not actually incurable terminal illnesses.

Quite the opposite.

Received several treatments from the 3rd level Radiant Divine Spell [Cure Disease];

Or take a few potions corresponding to the disease.

Almost recovered.

The biggest reason why they were desperate in the past was that they were unable to do either of these two things.

There were not many professionals who could master this magic in Ceylon, and it would cost a lot of money to hire them. When the monks of the Radiant God Cult came to give alms, they would cast magic for the refugees for free, but every time they had no chance of being selected as the lucky ones to receive treatment.

Potions also cost money.

If you can't afford it, there's no point saying anything.

But now the situation is completely different.

The hope for the future was almost clearly laid out before them, almost like it was slapping them in the face!
As long as they work hard and earn enough points, they can heal themselves whether they learn the magic of radiance or the magic of alchemy!

In the past, they had no other options and saw no hope of survival, so they were willing to sacrifice their lives in exchange for a future for their families.

Now that we can live well, no one will think about dying anymore!

The bright fire of hope was rekindled in their hearts!
……

The terrain outside the Dark Forest was also very complex. The dense woods were interspersed with shrubs and vines that were more than a meter tall. The dead branches and leaves on the ground made it even more difficult to advance.

Pete and his group advanced very slowly.

Most of the plants were contaminated by the evil spirit and became deformed. The vines became tougher and had dense barbs growing on their surface. If one was not careful, one could get entangled or scratched.

And you must always be on guard against attacks from monsters hiding in the dark.

Not long after entering the outskirts of the forest, Brandon was ambushed.

A huge "rat" suddenly jumped out from the shadows and almost pounced on Brandon on the spot.

The mouse's fur turned into a strange purple-brown color, its huge eyeballs bulged out and almost occupied the entire eye sockets, its pupils contracted and expanded from time to time, flashing a crazy blood-red light, and the claws at the ends of its limbs became extremely sharp.

The strangest thing is the pale white bone spurs growing all over its body.

The deformed bone structure directly penetrated the skin, and the sharp bone spurs at the end flashed a cold light, enough to easily pierce the flesh and blood of an ordinary person.

The direction of this monster's deformation is towards "ossification", and those extra weird bones are the most obvious feature.

When it pounced towards Brandon from the darkness, Brandon was startled and almost didn't have time to react. He just managed to move sideways at the last moment and barely avoided the sneak attack.

"Fuck! Skeleton monster!"

"Do all the rats outside the border look like this?"

Brandon drew his weapon without hesitation, and before the big rat could attack again, he aroused his anger and slashed at it with his sword!
Although the two-handed sword is not suitable for use in a narrow combat environment like a dense forest, and there is little space for slashing, but with the attack power added by rage and the weight of the weapon, Brandon knocked the monster to the ground with one sword, leaving a deep wound on the monster!

The monster rat let out a hoarse and sharp cry. Its injuries also aroused its madness. It curled up its body, revealing the deformed bone spurs on its back, and tried to charge towards Brandon.

"Fire Blast!"

(Fire Blast!)

Gale's voice was heard as he chanted a spell. A small flame flew towards the monster, burning its fur. The monster's movements were interrupted and it rolled on the ground in pain.

It is an unchanging truth that more hair is weak to fire. The impact force of [Arcane Missiles] at this time is definitely not as good as the burning effect of [Flame Shock] which is also a tier 1 magic.

Brandon decisively cooperated and added another heavy blow!
This time the attack was finally fatal.

The long-lost reminder came:
[Kill the 0th level skeleton monster, knowledge points +0.375, legendary experience +2.5]

[Rewards have been revised based on contribution level and number of combatants]

"Oh my god, I never thought there would be a day when I would miss the Bloodfang Gang!"

Brandon sighed, smacking his lips.

He finally realized how big the gap was between "limited activities" and "normal hunting".

When destroying the Bloodfang Gang, you can normally get about 7 or 8 knowledge points and dozens of legendary experience points for killing one enemy.

Now, the combat pressure and difficulty of eliminating the monsters in the Dark Forest are indeed much lower than those of the Blood Fang Gang, but the rewards have also shrunk!

Brandon is now level 1, stage 18, and has accumulated more than half of the legendary experience required for upgrading.

If he wants to reach level 20, he needs to accumulate nearly 1500 experience points.

"If you think about it..."

Brandon tried to calculate using his poor math skills.

"You still have to kill about 700 more border rats." Gail couldn't bear it anymore and gave a direct answer.

"so much!"

Brandon was numb.

There are seven hundred of them. I’m afraid they will be beaten by him. They are all big border rats in his dreams.

"Don't forget, the oracle said that this thing is only a rank 0 monster."

"I think an average person with a stronger body could probably kill it if they muster up the courage and try hard."

"The worst enemies of the Blood Fang Gang are at level 1, so it's normal for them to get more rewards."

Gale finished speaking, then muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"In fact, what I'm more curious about is that the Lord's oracle specifically reminded us that the battle rewards are adjusted according to the degree of contribution and the number of combatants."

“What is He trying to guide us?”

While Gail was thinking, another mouse with bone deformation jumped out from the gap of the vines and pounced on Brandon!
With the experience from the previous battle, Brandon was much more skillful this time and swung his sword without hesitation!
He knocked the border rat to the ground, then gave it two more strikes with his swords and took it away successfully.

"Hey?"

Brandon suddenly cried out in surprise.

Because the oracle he received this time was different from the previous ones.

[Kill the 0th level skeleton monster, knowledge points +0.6, legendary experience +4]

"Why did this big rat award more points?"
