Don't call me evil god

After learning how to use the team reward mechanism, Brandon finally understood.

Winning alone doesn't count.

Bring your companions and you can win more!

These 25 newcomers who just became Norman's believers immediately became popular.

Select four of them who look good, and Brandon also formed a temporary team.

Although their common goal is to go to the creation altar, they can kill some monsters along the way to earn more points and experience!

There is never a shortage of monsters in the dark forest.

After the "border rat", there are also strange monsters such as the "border snake" and "border toad" with deformed scales.

Because it is still on the outskirts of the forest, the number of monsters is not so exaggerated, and the number of monsters in the nests that can be found occasionally is only in the range of a dozen to dozens.

With the cooperation of everyone, it takes some effort to kill them.

In terms of spoils.

If the points and experience that Norman rewards to the believers are not counted, the number of valuable materials that can be found from the monsters is not much.

The most common monster bones are mainly found on ossified monsters, but it is not possible to just break off a piece of bone from a corpse.

Only those bones that have undergone benign deformation and can be purified to remove the evil spirit are qualified.

Pate and others are completely clueless about distinguishing spoils, which is completely their blind spot.

Brandon knows a little bit, but he only knows the basics, and he doesn't know how to distinguish them.

In the end, Brandon took the initiative to pray to Norwen and spent points to exchange for relevant knowledge, so that he had the ability to distinguish valuable spoils.

After trekking and hunting in the forest for most of the day, two small-scale nests were found, plus those lone monsters. After sorting and calculating, the value was probably just a little more than 1 gold coin.

It looks quite impressive, but the main contribution was made by Pate and Gale. After all, in the outer area dominated by 0-level and 1-level monsters, the 3-level magician is already a powerful existence.

If the gains from the two of them killing monsters are removed, the actual number of spoils will be greatly reduced.

More importantly.

Traditional 3rd-level mages are restricted by the limitation of spell slots, and the number of times they can cast spells every day is limited.

In this way, Pete and Gale can cast spells again after resting for a while after the battle, which greatly increases the upper limit of the team's combat power.

…

If it were within the territory of the Kingdom of Reyak, the distance of 27 kilometers would take less than a day to reach if they walked quickly, but in a place like the Dark Forest with complex terrain and dangerous environment, Pete and his team took more than 3 days.

The good news is that no one was killed on this road.

This is mainly due to the timely treatment provided by Miranda.

Facing the monsters that attacked from time to time on the road, it was inevitable that someone would be injured. If it were other adventurer teams, they could only temporarily use bandages, herbal treatments, etc. to relieve the pain. The more luxurious thing is to take potions and wait until they return to the kingdom to find a priest for treatment.

Miranda has been very busy these days. Not only does she have to treat the wounds of her companions who were accidentally injured in the battle, but the new believers are also generally sick. She also wants to use the second-level divine spell [Relieve Disease] on these people regularly to make them feel better.

Applying [Relieve Disease] to 25 people in a row is enough to drain Miranda's mental power, not to mention that this operation is more than once.

When she arrived at the "Misty Valley", Miranda was so depressed.

She used divine spells too many times, and now she feels dizzy and can't get up the spirit at all. She urgently needs a quiet environment to rest.

However, in contrast to Miranda's depression, the new believers are in a brand new state like a new life!

The rewards they got from killing monsters along the way are enough for them to exchange for the professional knowledge they want.

In order to master the knowledge as soon as possible, many people simply stayed up late to practice at night. At this moment, they are barely at the entry level of first-level professionals, no longer ordinary people with almost no combat power.

As they go deeper into the dark forest, there are already first-level monsters among the monsters that attack them, and their attack power, defense power and physical strength have been improved.

The same is a bone monster.

The most dangerous thing about the 0-level border rat is the bone spurs on its body, but its other parts are only slightly stronger than ordinary rats, and its size has not changed too much;

The 1-level bone rat monster has no changes in bone spurs, but its size has expanded several times, and its size is comparable to that of a dog. When it hits and leaves a wound, it sprays out all the smelly pus and blood, and it is more durable. Attacks caused by ordinary people's strength are beginning to be difficult to cause effective damage.

With only the five people of Pate, it is definitely impossible to guard against the sneak attacks of monsters all the time and protect everyone. Attrition is probably inevitable.

Fortunately, the new believers barely stepped over the threshold of professionals and completed self-rescue.

As long as you can master a combat skill, magic, or divine art, you can at least guarantee the ability to resist when facing an attack!

...

When they arrived at the place called "Misty Valley", everyone was a little surprised.

Because when entering this area, the number and density of monsters suddenly began to decrease significantly.

In the area closest to the outskirts of the valley, there was no trace of the monster at all.

During the previous few days, there were obviously many level 1 monsters that appeared, which was consistent with the situation outside the Dark Forest. The deeper you go, the stronger the monsters will be.

However, the situation here was quite abnormal.

The monsters seemed to avoid this valley on purpose!

There was another surprising thing.

They stayed in the Dark Forest for a few days. In the depressing environment, their mentality was inevitably affected.

Although it was not to the extent that they could not get a response from the gods, or that they had hallucinations in front of their eyes or heard hallucinations in their ears.

But they still felt heavy in their hearts, as if they were pressed by a huge rock and could not breathe.

When they approached the Misty Valley, this state gradually dissipated.

This was also very abnormal.

After thinking about it, Petes finally attributed the result to the blessing of the gods.

The God of Knowledge is an old god. He has existed for so long. He must have fought against evil gods for a long time. He must have more experience than the gods of the New Huili era. So it should be no problem that his believers have stronger ability to resist pollution?

What's more, the Creation Altar in the main quest was guided by the God of Knowledge to find them!

For a god, especially an old god, to give guidance for this, it means that there must be something special about this place!

Now they are going to uncover the secrets of this valley!
