Having chosen the reward, High Craftsman Mekkatorque then had a dwarf deliver several bundles of specially made high-explosive explosives to Liu Nian to ensure the complete destruction of the sturdy plague core.

The three of them did not linger, bid farewell to the master craftsman and Jinli, left Toothpick City, and set off for Rusty Water Canyon.

On the way, Sun Yao reminded him with some concern, "Boss, we'll definitely level up during the mission, and then we won't be able to return to Azure Town through that level 10 rift."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhan waved his hand dismissively: "Go back? I never planned to go back so soon. We finally broke through the pig-headed men's blockade; this is a perfect opportunity! We can complete the mission while exploring the area and finding a suitable location to establish a new stronghold. Besides, we still have return scrolls!"

"Understood." Sun Yao nodded and said no more.

Following the map provided by Mekkatorque, the three delineated a route that did not lead directly to Rusty Water Canyon, but instead meandered through several known monster gathering points.

Wu Zhan knew very well that he was only level 9, which was not even enough to meet the requirements for using a grenade canister, let alone deal with the threat of the Rusty Water Canyon.

The most urgent task is to upgrade the level as soon as possible.

Wu Zhan chose the grenade canister because he believed it would be very beneficial for the upcoming sabotage mission and team combat.

Wu Zhan looked at the map, raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "The information given by the master craftsman said that the ratmen in Rusty Water Canyon are between level 12 and 15, and the leader is a level 22 warlord. My current level is a bit low." He patted Liu Nian on the shoulder, "However, with you here, I am confident that after we get through this, my level will be at least level 13 without any problem."

Wu Zhan planned out a route, which would take them past three monster camps.

Our first stop was Razorback Forest.

The monster lurking here is the Razor Boar LV.11. It has thick hide and high health, and possesses the skill [Savage Charge], which allows it to charge in a straight line, dealing damage and knocking back enemies.

"After being a carry for my whole life, it's time to enjoy the feeling of being carried by a carry!" Wu Zhan watched Liu Nian farm pigs ahead with a grin, while he shamelessly dragged Sun Yao along to follow behind and leech experience, with no intention of helping at all.

Sun Yao, standing to the side, looked speechless.

Liu Nian was actually hoping that the two of them wouldn't steal his monsters and delay his stat-boosting.

These level 11 monsters posed absolutely no threat to him.

On the contrary, they have a lot of health points, 1400, which is even better news for Heartsteel.

After fighting their way through the Wild Boar Forest, Wu Zhan leveled up two levels in a row, while Sun Yao and Liu Nian each leveled up one level.

Liu Nian was still quite reluctant to leave after passing through here.

Because the Shadowclaw Lynx that appeared at the second stop only had half the health of the wild boar, after leaving here, Liu Nian leveled up to level 12, Sun Yao to level 13, and Wu Zhan to level 12 (both had equipment that increased experience points).

At the third stop, the monster was a level 13 Poison Gland Winged Serpent. I tested the power of the grenade canister with my level 12 warrior and was quite satisfied with it.

By the time they left, all three of them had reached level 13.

Liu Nian's Steel stacked to 82 layers, Soul Drain Strike to 32 layers, Hell Curse to 15 layers, Unstoppable Force to level 2, and Deliberate Fist to level 3.

Special Item: "Mirror Image" Type 3000 Self-Replicating Robot (Epic)

-------

Liu Nian is currently missing four items to complete his full set of equipment: arm guards, pants, necklace, and cloak. Of course, most of his equipment is slightly better than the basic equipment. Apart from the Malice Ring and the Unending Expedition Legplates, which can be used for a long time, the rest can be replaced at any time.

In addition, regarding skills, if things proceeded step by step, Liu Nian would naturally max out Hell Curse first.

However, the task at hand was of utmost importance, and he dared not be complacent, which is why he allocated two skill points to Unstoppable Force and Deliberate Fist.
