Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

A flash of light, and the scene of ruins reappeared before their eyes.

"I encountered a monster yesterday, I refuse to believe my luck will be this bad today!"

As before, Chu Ci started by hiding. As soon as he stepped out of the ruins, he saw five furry monsters hunting in a group.

【Prairie Wolf】(lv.90)

Health: 3 million

Physical attack: 2k

Magic Attack: 0.5k

Physical defense: 0.3k

Magic Defense: 0.2k

Speed: 2k

Anti-stealth level: 1

Skill: Clan Amplification (Passive): When the party has an additional member of the same clan, the overall attributes increase by 1%.

Why are there monsters below level one here?

Following their gaze, Chu Ci quickly spotted another monster.

【Thick-Armored Bull】(lv.85)

Health: 4 million

Physical attack: 1k

Magic Attack: 0.5k

Physical defense: 2k

Magic Defense: 1k

Speed: 0.5k

Skill: Skin Armor Transformation: Greatly increases dual resistance attributes by 50% for 1 hour.

The target of the several ferocious wolves on the grassland was this level 85 armored bull.

Its skin is as hard as thick armor, and its dual resistances are considered very high among monsters of the same level.

Even a prairie wolf of a higher rank would find it difficult to break through its defenses.

And if this guy activates his skill, his dual resistances will increase significantly.

Moo!

Sure enough, upon sensing the danger, the Armored Bull immediately activated its skill.

Physical defense instantly soared to 3k, and magic defense also reached 1.5k.

However, the few wolves on the grassland were quite clever. They began to intimidate the armored bulls and then used a relay method to trap them in the same area at bends hundreds of meters apart, trying to deplete their skills.

Chu Ci stood on a section of the ruined wall watching this scene. He didn't want to waste any time, so he used his "Hidden Hand" technique on the heavily armored bull.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have stolen the equipment - Thick Armor]

Equipment: Thick Armor

Level: 85

Quality: Crude iron grade

Constitution: +200

Physical Defense: +100

Magic Defense: +100

Wearing requirements: Level meets the requirements.

"It's actually an 85-level piece of equipment, with a total of 400 points of bonus to all three attributes! It's a pity I can't use it."

[Ding, you have a message from a friend.]

"Hmm? It must be news from my son, since he's the only one who has my contact information."

Sure enough, when I opened the message, it was from Lu Ze.

[Anonymous Handsome Guy: Hey, you rebellious son, you woke up so fast? Judging by the time, you should have just woken up, right? You're already in *God's Domain*, shouldn't you rest a little longer?]

Chu Ci slapped his head.

Oh right! How could I have forgotten about this guy?

[This is toxic: Get lost, you've come at the perfect time! Your dad just got his hands on something good, want to sell it to you cheap?]

At this moment, in the distant northern kingdoms of Winter City.

Here, heavy snow falls year-round. Lu Ze, wearing a thick fleece coat, stood on the snowfield, with two guards standing by his side, ready to protect him.

"Good stuff? What could this unfilial son have gotten right after leaving the newbie village? Oh well, as his father, I can't let him down. I'll have to act convincingly later."

[An anonymous handsome guy: What good stuff do you have? Send it over and let me see.]

[Ding, Youpoison Bar has initiated a transaction with you.]

"I'd like to see what this is, hmm? This is... level 85 rough iron equipment?!"

[An anonymous handsome guy: You unfilial son! You stole someone's things? Return them right now, or you'll lose your life!]

[This is ridiculous: Steal my ass! This is something your dad got legitimately, I don't need it. You, my good son, name your price.]

???

Are you kidding me? You think you can find this right after leaving the starting village? I can't find any!

Just as he was about to reply, Lu Ze suddenly thought of something.

"Could this guy have been deliberately hiding his strength before? Everyone has secrets, maybe I shouldn't pry too much."

[An anonymous handsome guy: You unfilial son, I'm asking you one last time, are you sure selling this won't affect you?]

[Is this toxic?: Don't worry, it's your big son.]

[Anonymous Handsome Guy: Okay, level 85 rough iron equipment, the average price is around 10 gold coins, I'll give you 15 gold coins, and don't use this thing to trade next time, it's expensive!]

[Ding! Your transaction is complete. After deducting a 10% transaction fee, you have received a total of 13 gold coins. (Rounded up)]

Chu Ci was taken aback.

"The fees are so high! No wonder that guy wouldn't let me use it anymore."

On the icy plains, Lu Ze looked at the thick armor in his hands with a complex expression.

At that moment, an assassin wearing a red and black cloak suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Young Master, this elite-level Icefield Hunter has been brought under control. You can harvest it now."

"Um."

The group approached the monster, only to find it lying on the ground, barely alive. Its silvery-white scales were shattered, and its long, sharp claws had been cut off.

Several other third-tier experts stood around it.

It's clear that they worked together to reduce the Icefield Hunter to this state.

Lu Ze walked up to the monster, and his silver longsword materialized as he thrust it down at it.

"A single sword strike to the throat."

-13w!

[Ding! Your experience points are full. You can go to the Warrior's Guild to accept the second-tier breakthrough quest.]

……

[Ding! The Armored Bull has been killed, gaining 1.5k experience points.]

On the outskirts of the ancient capital in ruins, Chu Ci looked at the experience points entering his account but showed no joy.

Those few prairie wolves weren't fools either; they immediately became alarmed after the Thick-Armored Bull died.

Soon, damage values ​​began to appear on a prairie wolf.

-600 -600

Then came another one, and 20 seconds later, the last one was also afflicted with the divine poison.

However, Chu Ci did not intend to kill it, but simply observed it quietly from a hundred meters away.

"Wolves are social animals, and there must be a leader in the pack. Now that they are in imminent danger, they will do everything they can to return to the pack. This is a biological instinct."

Awoo!

Just as he had guessed.

These guys quickly sprinted off in a certain direction.

Chu Ci didn't chase after him; he couldn't catch up even at his current speed.

But in his perception, the Divine Poison was like a tracking device; he could clearly sense the other party's location and control whether the poison damage would take effect at will.

When the five grassland wolves' health dropped below 30%, Chu Ci decisively controlled the divine poison to stop them from losing health.

He sensed that the other party was still running wildly in a certain direction, clearly not yet back to the wolf pack.

"Go on, my cute little wolf, I'll come find you after I leave the ruined ancient capital."

No longer concerned with matters here, Chu Ci turned and looked towards the ruins of the ancient capital's core area in the distance.

"Even monsters like the Armored Bull and the Grassland Wolf, which are not even in the first tier, can get in here. It seems I no longer need to stay here."

"The monsters on the outer perimeter have almost all disappeared. Could something have gone wrong in the core area? In any case, we can only continue deeper into the region now."

An hour later, Chu Ci had searched more than ten kilometers inland, but hadn't seen a single monster.

"No! What on earth happened here? This is strange. They can't all be dead, can they?"

As he turned a corner, he suddenly discovered several corpses on the ground.
