I'm already invincible, and you're telling me I just logged in?

After about half an hour in the mountains, the yamen runners who had accompanied them had already dispersed.

Zhou Tong stopped and, while wiping his sweat, leaned closer to Xu Yan: "How about we just take a walk around this area and not go any further?"

Black Tiger Mountain stretches far and wide, with dense forests blocking out the sun. Its paths are complex and difficult to discern, and ordinary people who venture deep into the mountain may not be able to find their way back if they are not careful.

The reason that the bandits dared to hide in was that they were certain that the police were unfamiliar with the terrain of this mountain forest and would not dare to venture too far.

Xu Yan did not reply, his gaze fixed on the instance panel in front of him.

Black Tiger Mountain

Recommended Level: LV: 5 - LV: 10

Based on Xu Yan's experience playing games in his previous life, there shouldn't be any major problems entering this kind of dungeon at level 5; it's considered a beginner dungeon.

With a three-fold power boost from his own fist techniques, his actual attack power is significantly higher than that of some of the ninth-level body-forging masters in the Xu family.

Moreover, it also has the "harmony between man and nature" as a safety net.

After some consideration, Xu Yan decided to enter the instance.

A thought flashed through his mind: "Enter."

The next moment, time seemed to stand still.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yan seemed to be detached from his original place by some force and fell into another world.

Zhou Tong, who was beside him, had disappeared.

He glanced at the red dot on the map ahead and then started walking in that direction.

Before long, Xu Yan arrived at an open area in the mountains and forests.

In the center of the open space, two wolves were gnawing on something.

Sensing the intruders, they growled and pounced.

[Mountain Wolf, LV: 3]

[Health Volume: 100/100]

Attack: 12

[Defense: 3]

Its level is not high, and its attributes are mediocre.

Xu Yan did not retreat, but stepped forward and threw a punch, followed immediately by a second punch.

The two wolves fell to the ground one after the other, turning into specks of light and disappearing.

Xu Yan looked at the reward dropped by one of the mountain wolves, then looked at his own fist.

"Is this the magic of numbers?"

Without the triple power boost, he wouldn't be afraid of these two mountain wolves, but it would still take him a while to kill them.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xu Yan picked up the items that the wolf had dropped after it died.

[Low-grade Rejuvenation Pill]

[Immediately restores 50 HP/Qi after consumption, and slowly restores 50 HP/Qi over the next 15 minutes.]

After putting away the pills, Xu Yan looked at his control panel.

[ID: Xu Yan]

[Level: LV4 (11/40)]

Sure enough, you can also gain experience by killing NPCs in the dungeon.

Xu Yan suppressed his excitement and did not linger in the same spot.

His gaze fell on two more red dots on the map, and he moved accordingly.

These two red dots also represent low-level mountain wolves.

Xu Yan punched twice and gained another 10 experience points.

[Level: LV4 (21/40)]

As we ventured deeper into the mountains and forests, the scenery gradually became more secluded and profound.

Xu Yan also encountered the Black Tiger in Black Tiger Mountain.

Black Tiger, LV: 5

[Health Volume: 200/200]

Attack: 25

[Defense: 5]

Its attributes are significantly higher than the previous Mountain Wolf.

After defeating the two black tigers, Xu Yan's level was successfully raised to LV5.

[ID: Xu Yan]

[Level: LV5 (1/50)]

[Qi and Blood Value: 210/240]

[Internal Force Value: 70/70]

External Attack: 30

[Internal Attack: 0]

External Defense: 5 (+5)

Internal Defense: 5

External Martial Arts: Seven Injury Fist (Minor Mastery 1/500)

[After each level increase: External attack +5, Health +10, Internal energy +5]

Unfortunately, Xu Yan was unable to escape unscathed this time, just as he had when dealing with the mountain wolf.

I took a blow to my left arm and another to my ribs, and my Qi and blood dropped by thirty points.

Fortunately, the leather armor issued by the government office increased my defense, and I didn't bleed or feel pain when I got injured in the dungeon.

Black Tiger Teeth

Xu Yan bent down to pick up the items that Black Tiger had dropped and continued walking deeper into the forest.

Along the way, Xu Yan encountered six more black tigers.

But he defeated them all with three punches.

You're right, but that's the charm of operation.

Xu Yan inspected the harvest.

Three black tiger teeth, two low-grade Rejuvenation Pills.

[Level: LV6 (11/60)]

After upgrading to level 6, the external attack power increased to 35, but the health was not fully restored as a result of the upgrade.

Looking at the red dot on the map, Xu Yan still chose to take a Rejuvenation Pill.

Xu Yan walked along the mountain path for a while, then stopped after passing a dense thicket of trees.

This time, he encountered neither a black tiger nor a mountain wolf.

They looked like bandits on lookout duty.

[Bandit, LV: 8]

[Health Volume: 200/200]

Attack: 30

[Defense: 5]

They were dressed in tattered short clothes, holding knives in their hands, but their eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if their souls had been ripped out.

Xu Yan took a few steps closer, and the two mechanically turned around and swung their knives to strike.

His movements were stiff and his moves were monotonous, like a puppet whose program had been set up.

They lack the agility of black tigers and mountain wolves.

With overwhelming numerical superiority, Xu Yan easily dispatched the two and gained thirty experience points.

After carefully collecting the Rejuvenation Pill dropped by one of the bandits, he headed towards the last red dot on the map.

The campfire in front of the cave had not yet gone out when a figure slowly stood up.

It seems this is the BOSS.

Wei Xiong

[Qi and Blood Value: 500/500]

External Attack: 50

[Internal Attack: 20]

External Defense: 10

Internal Defense: 10

Its attributes are quite different from other monsters, but it is still not too difficult for Xu Yan to deal with.

However, what truly surprised him was the BOSS's attack moves.

The previous bandits' moves were stiff and mechanical, as if they were following a fixed pattern.

The BOSS's swordplay carried the aura of a living person; its slashes were methodical, varied, and even had their own rhythm.

Xu Yan dodged a straight slash by sidestepping, and was about to take advantage of the situation to counterattack when Wei Xiong suddenly pulled back and released the horse-slaying saber in his hand.

The knife came quickly and stealthily. Xu Yan couldn't dodge in time, and the back of the blade grazed his chest, causing his blood and qi to drop slightly.

He glanced down at the damage display on the panel, and when he looked up at Wei Xiong, his eyes were filled with a serious expression.

"There's such a tactic?"

Xu Yan dared not be careless anymore, and after creating some distance, he took a Rejuvenation Pill.

After parrying, he twisted his waist and lowered his shoulders, unleashing his "fist power" to strike Wei Xiong's chest.

With the combined power of several punches, the BOSS's health plummeted instantly.

[Qi and Blood Value: 342/500]

After a fierce battle, Wei Xiong finally fell, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating.

Xu Yan was panting heavily.

Because of that damned fast and slow blade, he also took three hits.

Fortunately, thanks to the dungeon mechanics, he didn't actually bleed or get injured.

The level completion panel pops up.

The "Black Tiger Mountain" dungeon has been cleared.

[Black Tiger Mountain Completion Rewards]

[Secret document*1, Silver*100 taels]

[First Clear Bonus]

【Breaking Through a Thousand Armies *1】

After checking the reward, before even claiming it, I suddenly felt a loss of balance under my feet.

The next moment, the sounds of wind, shadows of trees, and rustling of leaves returned.

Xu Yan found himself standing on the same mountain path again.

Zhou Tong's voice followed immediately: "Xu Yan, what are you spacing out for?"

"I say, how about we just stay outside and wander around instead of going in?"

Xu Yan snapped out of her daze and stared intently at Zhou Tong.

"Brother Zhou, do you want credit?"
