Chapter 41 I said I wouldn't add agility...but it's actually pretty good!
Within the Silent Forest, You Che walked briskly.
He has left the hidden area and is trying to leave the Silent Forest.
However, for some reason, it has not been successful.
Due to the random dungeon characteristics of the Silent Forest, the usual method of leaving through the gate is not feasible. Without defeating the boss, the Earth Dragon, one must follow a specific route to leave.
As mentioned before, after the environment changed three times, close your eyes and ignore everything, just keep walking back.
In other words, he has to pass through three forest areas first, then close his eyes and turn around. In the game, he won't be attacked by monsters on the way back, as long as he doesn't open his eyes.
However, when Youche was trying, either he followed the instructions but was not teleported away, or he attracted the attention of monsters roaming the forest and was attacked while walking back.
Fortunately, Yu Che remained vigilant, and the attacking monster was only the lowest-level monster in the Silent Forest, a level 15 ordinary treant.
So You Che opened his eyes in time to dodge the attack, then took out two daggers and spent a little time killing the tree man.
Because even this guy's agility is much higher than his, and he's not the slow-moving type like the Earth Dragon BOSS, he has no choice but to kill him.
This battle earned Yuche a material called "Dried Tree Heart" and 150 experience points, and he also leveled up to LV7.
The knight died from the attack of the earth dragon and did not fight Yu Che at all, so Yu Che naturally did not gain any experience, otherwise he would have leveled up long ago.
After the upgrade, Youche had accumulated two free attribute points, which should have been added to Intelligence according to the original plan.
However, instead of rushing to improve his attributes, he sighed and turned to look behind him: "Stop hiding, come out, I see you."
A rustling sound came from the bushes, and then the monster girl's head popped out with a "whoosh".
She walked happily, even skipping a little, to You Che, grabbed his arm, and made a few cooing noises.
Although You Che couldn't understand her, judging from her expression, she probably meant something like, "You've found me, now it's time to find someone else..."
You Che looked helpless: "I'm not playing hide-and-seek with you... I'm leaving, can you understand?"
When he spoke just now, he wasn't sure if this guy was following behind him, but that seemed to be the only possibility.
In the game, if a squad wants to leave the Silent Forest, everyone needs to follow the instructions. If even one person opens their eyes, then no one can successfully escape.
Yu Che had tried several times without success, which obviously had only one explanation: the monster girl had followed him out and the forest had taken her as its companion.
Upon hearing Yu Che's words, the monster girl looked bewildered: "Huh?"
As mentioned before, the monster girl can understand simple words, so she knew that Yuche was talking to her and did not realize that she had been tricked.
As for You Che's words, "I'm leaving," she didn't understand their meaning.
The reason is easy to understand.
Before leaving the hidden area, the Dragon Graveyard, Yuche asked her name. After repeated questioning, Yuche confirmed that she really didn't have a name.
Not only did she not have a name, but You Che was probably the first outsider to have come into contact with her and seen her true face.
Yu Che suspects that the monster girl may also have a skill similar to a wandering instinct, which allows her to sense the malice of others, and therefore she has never had contact with outsiders before.
This probably explains why she wasn't wary of You Che.
Needless to say, the monster girl had never left this forest, so she had no idea what Yu Tetsu meant by "I'm leaving".
In her understanding, You Che was probably just going to wander around the forest and hunt...
You Che had a bit of a headache.
Clearly, he had no chance of shaking off the monster girl in this forest, but if things continued this way, he would have to wait for the forced teleportation when the maze disappeared.
In that case, as mentioned before, the risks would be considerable.
Left with no other option, You Che could only try to trick her into going back.
"Listen to me, I have things to do right now. You go back first, I'll come back later..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Che suddenly felt a strong sense of alarm, which was on a completely different level from the one he had felt from the monster girl before.
He turned his head almost instinctively to look at the intersection ahead. Immediately afterward, the monster girl also looked in that direction.
The scene at the intersection rippled slightly, and then a knight in armor emerged from the mist.
He was fully armored and carrying a longsword; he was the second of the three knights, and also the highest-ranking one.
[? ? ? (Unknown Knight)]
[Level: 23]
[HP: 380/380]
"Found you, you little thief." The knight's eyes held undisguised murderous intent. "You and this monster are the ones who killed my brother. I'll make you pay the price."
You Che frowned and slowly backed away, muttering, "If I said no, you wouldn't have made a move? Besides, weren't you the ones who attacked first?"
He didn't even ask why the other party was convinced that he and the monster girl were the ones who killed the other knight. After all, there was no one else in the forest, and Yu Che and the others had indeed left some traces at the time, so the deduction was not difficult.
However, he wasn't particularly afraid of this guy. In this Silent Forest, no skill that consumes magic power can be used, and even a level 23 knight can only choose to fight the Axe King head-on.
As long as the other party doesn't have ranged attack capabilities, then whether he wants to run or not is irrelevant...
As You Che was thinking this, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, turned around abruptly, and swung the claws of his hunting dog!
"clang--"
With a crisp sound, a delicate throwing knife was deflected by You Che at the last moment and fell to the ground.
At the crossroads behind them, the last knight appeared.
[? ? ? (Unknown Knight)]
[Level: 21]
[HP: 300/300]
The knight, carrying two daggers and with several black throwing knives hanging from his waist, was also watching them intently.
You Che's face darkened completely; this was troublesome.
The two knights had no intention of saying anything more to them. One approached with a longsword, while the other raised a throwing knife, ready to strike. They had already completed their encirclement.
"...You will all die here," the sword-wielding knight declared.
You Che let out a heavy sigh.
Great, he wasn't planning on dealing with the earth dragon, so he just swarmed two knights in his face as if it were a boss fight?
PVP, right?
...Come on then, let me show you the strength of a three-gold arena champion!
You Che instantly opened his personal panel and added the two attribute points he had saved to Agility.
Didn't he say before that being agile was impossible? Well, now he's been forced to admit it's true.
To deal with two knights at the same time, especially a semi-ranged unit that also uses throwing skills, 5 points of agility are simply not enough.
Agility: 5 → 7
As for changing jobs in the future, there's no time to think about it now.
Yu Che prepared himself, picked up two daggers, and then whispered to the clearly frightened monster girl beside him, "When we start fighting, run immediately! They can't catch you!"
He had barely finished speaking, and before he could even confirm whether the monster girl had understood, the knight in front of him had already made his move!
"Whoosh—"
The longsword cut through the air with a resounding clang, hurtling straight toward You Che's head!
You Che raised his two daggers:
"clang!!"
The knight's eyes widened in surprise as his thrust was parried, but Yu Che had no time to freeze. Using the momentum to retreat, he forcefully shoved the monster girl: "Run!"
