Chapter 22

“Nice one!”

Seeing Lil Wan’s clean attack, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but give her a big thumbs up .

“I was aiming for its eyes…” Lil Wan’s face was a little rosy .

2

You were aiming for its eyes?

Ye Xuan was startled .

But didn’t dare to laugh .

At that moment, a series of crisp sounds came from the Amber Golden Toad beast, which had been hit by Lil Wan’s Ironwood Thorn spear . It seemed as if it was about to crumble .

“Is that…?” Ye Xuan’s eyes brightened, and he quickly unleashed his Mind Energy to shroud the corpse .

According to Nong Jiale, after a beast in the Amber Secret Realm died, its body would crumble into Amber Aura .

He wanted to see what this looked like .

“Huh?”

It was just that, when he enveloped the Amber Golden Toad with his Mind Energy, a piece of new information suddenly appeared on the attribute panel in his mind .

[Monster: Amber Golden Toad

“…the Beast Editor even works like this?”

Ye Xuan’s mouth dropped open wide .

Only just now did he learn that when his Mind Energy shrouded other monsters, the Beast Editor could even display their attributes .

1

Previously, he’d thought that he could only see the attributes of his own beasts .

“However, I didn’t expect this Amber Golden Toad to have so little potential for growth . ”

Ye Xuan shook his head .

Then, he looked at this Amber Golden Toad’s future evolution paths .

He discovered that if he chose this guy as his beast, he could still edit it once it advanced to the Dark Iron Level .

But when editing it a second time, at most, he could turn it into a Dark Iron Level two-star beast, which absolutely couldn’t compare to Lil Wan .

“Ka-chk!”

At this time, the Amber Golden Toad, which Lil Wan had pierced with her Ironwood Thorn spear, suddenly crumbled after one last explosion sounded from within its body .

It turned into a golden aura, dispersing in all directions .

Leaving only a walnut-sized gold, translucent bead on the ground .

One could vaguely see the image of a golden toad inside the bead .

In fact, this thing was also called a Monster Bead .

It was something you could obtain from a monster after killing it .

However, because it came from the Amber Secret Realm, it was called the Amber Heart .

Ye Xuan picked up the bead and played with it for a moment before putting it into his Beast Ring .

After completing this series of actions, Ye Xuan asked Lil Wan, “How was it, Lil Wan? How do you feel after this battle?”

“I’m still way behind compared to the Ancient Wood Elves we saw in the videos yesterday,” Lil Wan said somewhat dejectedly . “I only had an easy time today because this Amber Golden Toad isn’t very strong . If it had been a little more powerful, even at the same level as me, I don’t think I would’ve been able to take it on that easily . ”

2

The videos she and Ye Xuan had watched yesterday, especially the performance of Yu Lingjing’s Ancient Wood Elf, had left a really deep impression on her heart .

In the video, the Ancient Wood Elf had been faced with five Tempest Wolves .

They weren’t some low-level monsters, but monsters at the Top-Level Apprentice Level, just like the elf .

However, the elf had brought all five monsters down in just a matter of seconds .

1

Compared with that, she really felt that she was still very far behind .

“If there’s a gap, close it by working hard . ” Ye Xuan smiled . “In the next few days, let’s just stay around this area and try our best to find monsters to practice combat against . We don’t have to hurry ourselves to go deeper . ”

“Okay . ”

…

“Lil Wan, stop that thing!”

In the Amber Forest, Ye Xuan ran with a sword in his hand .

Behind him was a two-headed Amber Wolf .

This two-headed Amber Wolf was a two-star grade, Top-Level Apprentice monster .

Ye Xuan had attempted to battle against it head-to-head in the past, but he’d been no match for it .

This monster had a two-star grade Amber Aspect . When Ye Xuan’s Black Iron Sword landed on it, it inflicted very little damage .

Moreover, this wolf was immensely powerful . In just a few attacks, Ye Xuan had no choice but to retreat .

If Lil Wan hadn’t been there to assist him, he probably would have had to activate his Protection Amulet and leave the secret realm .

Fortunately, most of the monsters in the Amber Secret Realm were melee monsters who didn’t have long-range attack-type abilities .

Working together, though a little messy, he and Lil Wan still had a chance to win .

Swoosh!

The Ironwood Thorns broke through the air, creating the sound of a howling wind . Like a chain, the vine tightly looped around a big tree, forming a roadblock .

The setup of this path blocker was extremely clever .

The two-headed Amber Wolf, which was catching up to them, leaped into the air at immense speeds towards Ye Xuan . It moved by throwing the upper half of its body forward, its lower half not yet leaving the ground .

This very roadblock was set up to where the wolf’s lower body would collide with it .

“Rawr!”

Running at such a fast speed, the two-headed Amber Wolf scraped its abdomen on the Ironwood Thorns .

This time, Xiao Wan didn’t let the barbs of the Ironwood Thorn lie on the vine . Instead, she had all of the barbs spread outwards .

However, the two-headed Amber Wolf wasn’t made of blood and flesh . Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to bear such intense pain .

But even so, the back half of its body didn’t break through the thorny cord, causing the upper half of its body, which it had thrown forward, to be tugged backward .

“Die!”

When the two-headed Amber wolf staggered to the ground, Ye Xuan suddenly turned around and slashed downward with his sword .

Clang!

Amid the splattering of sparks, the two-headed Amber Wolf shook its head . For all that, only a few amber particles fell from its head .

“Darn it!”

Ye Xuan felt helpless .

He’d finally uncovered the fact that despite being a Top-Level Warrior Apprentice, in terms of strength, he could probably only fight Top-Level Apprentice monsters of a one-star grade .

As long as a monster’s grade was higher than his, he would have no way of defeating them .

But fortunately, he wasn’t fighting alone .

As the two-headed Amber Wolf lay on the ground, temporarily stunned by Ye Xuan’s attack, Lil Wan waved her hands in the air and hurled out a thorny spear .

With a spllurgh, it accurately penetrated the eye of the two-headed Amber Wolf .

Although this thing had two heads, it had only one eye on its chest .

4

Even though its eyes were, likewise, amber-colored, they were still one of its weaknesses .

After receiving this blow, it staggered a few times before finally falling down, both its heads hitting the ground .

Phew!

Ye Xuan let out a long breath .

At present, it was the third day since he’d entered the Amber Secret Realm .

In those three days, he’d experienced dozens of battles .

But this battle had been the most difficult battle to date .

Before entering the secret realm, he’d still been wondering if he would have the opportunity to form a contract with that four-star Amber Dragon .

But now, this idea was already completely out of his head .

As he was now, even with Lil Wan working together with him, killing a two-star Top-Level Apprentice two-headed wolf was already so difficult . If he were to bump into an Amber Dragon, he would probably have to leave the secret realm in embarrassment .
