Chapter 2: Escaping Danger (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  Karin was luckier than Raven; she simply fainted from exhaustion and came to under Ravens vigorous shaking.

  "Bro... run!?" Almost as soon as she was awake, Carin sprang up, and found herself face to face with Raven, who had just slightly relaxed his guard.

  "Carlin, are you okay?"

  "Im fine, but you..." Carlins body suddenly stiffened as she saw Ravens injuries, and then began to tremble. She pursed her lips, no longer speaking a word, only the pain and sorrow on her face was unmistakable. The heart-wrenching expression made even the most stone-hearted person feel unbearable.

  Turning her head, Karin gazed in the direction of the village, a fierce fire of revenge burning fiercely in her eyes.

  Levin didnt know what to say, but there was no time for Karin to be sentimental. He grabbed Karin and quickly said loudly: "We have to go! The ones attacking us are the Lin Bao Di Jing! They are daytime ambushers and nighttime attackers! We must leave now, otherwise we will suffer another attack from the Lin Bao Di Jing after nightfall!"

  Karin gazed at the not-so-distant Golden City, her eyes fixed on Ravens wound with extreme heartache: "Weve already entered the patrol range of the Golden City patrol team, right? Im afraid you wont make it, bro... How about we wait for the patrol team to rescue us?"

  "No, the Lins wont let us off that easily, we have to get out of here! Now! At once!" Raven said too loudly and was a bit breathless. Raven struggled to get up, but failed, his body going limp again as soon as he tried to prop himself up.

  At this time, Karin suddenly supported Ravens arm with her hand, unexpectedly, Karins slender arm had an unexpected strength.

  Karins voice was trembling with tears: "Brother... your injuries are too severe! If we keep going like this, Im afraid youll die halfway... What will I do if you die? Maybe those damned green-skinned creatures have given up already. The goblins dont have such good brains!"

  At this moment, Raven had the idea that perhaps the earth spirit would never come again.

  The next second, Raven extinguished his lucky idea.

  Life has no what-ifs.

  The woodwoses hunt and kill most creatures that pass through their territory, which are smaller than a horse. When food is scarce, the woodwoses often plan and raid the border areas of humanoid settlements, usually withdrawing after carrying off some children.

  But last night and the night before, they grossly violated this common sense. Their crazy killing of people in the church was already unexpected. After Arnold, the leader of the militia in the village, killed a strong and powerful Jiao as the leader, they should have started to flee in all directions. They didnt!

  This only means one thing: the leader of the Lynxs squad is a more senior earth badger druid elder, and this is a joint large army composed of at least 60 earth badgers. The harvest of the past two nights was far from meeting the needs of this earth badger tribe.

  Levin stood up straight: "Ill say it one last time, after nightfall the Lin Gongdi will attack again. They abhor daylight, so when the sun rises theyll turn into a small tree or thick branches and stay in the woods near the village. Once the sun sets, theyll rush over at full speed. If we dont leave now, by the latest one hour after nightfall well be caught up."

  She saw Ravens wound, and suddenly her nose turned sour. She knew this was the injury Raven had sustained to cover for her. Carlin originally wanted to say something, but she gave up abruptly.

  "Brother, Ill help you make a crutch." First, she helped Levin lean against a tree and sit down. Carlin quickly glanced around, pulled out a hunting dagger, and trimmed off the leaves from a sturdy branch with a few swift cuts, handing it to Levin.

  Lei Wen suddenly felt a little emotional, this girl is more capable than that dead ghost in Lei Wens memory.

  Carefully supporting Raven, Carlin said softly: "Brother, Ill help you."

  Ravens body stiffened as soon as he got up.

  It wasnt because of Karin, but he actually heard a "ding" sound as if in a dream.

  That is the system prompt tone in the game.

  Levin then realized that a piece of writing had been etched into his mind, both from now and just a moment ago.

  "Legendary Skill 【Self-Stabilization】 Activation: Ordinary damage is no longer fatal to you. If your HP is negative but you have not yet died, you can make a 【Self-Stabilization】 check...... If the check succeeds, you will not fall unconscious and can continue acting until you bleed out or your injuries stabilize."

  "Your self-healing has stabilized your injuries; you can continue as normal."

  "Personal Specialty [Persuader] Activated: Your keen sense of awareness alerts you to the presence of danger, and you attempt to persuade your sister Karin to leave this perilous place ahead of time. The [Persuader] specialty gives your negotiation skill check +2... You successfully persuaded Karin. Now Karin is willing to follow in your footsteps and continue onward."

  The two lines of text in front and back made Raven stunned: Did I really cross into the game world? Or am I still inside the game?

  Suddenly bitter smile.

  But since there is a system prompt tone, shouldnt I still have a system?

  "Attributes! Im going to open the attribute panel!" Raven roared in her heart.

  The scenery in the visual field suddenly stagnated, and after a tenth of a second pause, a set of pale green data poured into Ravens retina, forming a panel of mixed real and virtual information.

  Name: Lei Wen.

  Personal Skills - Self-Stabilization [Legendary]

  Finally saw his own properties, Raven had surprises and unexpectedness.

  First, lets look at the basic attributes. The basic attributes of an ordinary adult human are all 10, which makes this a very obvious elite template. The classic big road goods opening is that all attribute bases are 8, and then you can see what kind of race or bloodline you have inherited to add or subtract values, and then according to your profession, you will be given about ten free attribute points to play with.

  The world of Ao has an interesting setting, where the system scans your body when you first enter the game and gives you extra bonuses based on the data. It seems that it has inherited the templates of both Assassin and Shadow Master from previous lives all at once. By the way, Ravens professional skills are also much higher than those of new players in the game.

  For a 14-year-old boy to have such an elite template, Raven is already very satisfied.

  To know that at first in the game, there were less than 3% of people who had a hero template with an average attribute of 20 when they were born.

  Of course, above this is whats known as a "hanging B template" - the Saint Template. Those who possess this template will have written on them something like "Child of such-and-such God".

  What a descendant of the literary god, still making people psychologically balanced. If its a war gods child or a death gods child, no need to look, thats just a combat B in the hanging B. As long as you dont get killed in the initial stage, youve already boarded the direct train to seal the gods.

  Secondly, the profession, according to the game settings of Azeroth World, assassins should be a bronze-level (second-tier) profession that can only be advanced from monks or vagrants. Because in his previous life, Raven played assassin the most smoothly, which led to the ridiculous situation on the current attribute panel: obviously unemployed assassins can only be considered civilians, but they have all assassin skills...

  Although Assassins are generally mediocre and have many limitations in the late game, as a new profession, no one can ignore their huge damage output.

  An assassin profession used well can also produce a huge advantage.

  Its just that under the circumstances where the equipment hasnt kept up with the times, the shortcomings of Assassins Creed are very obvious.

  Sighs are just sighs, no matter how good the attributes are, they have to solve the current predicament first...

  "Brother... brother! Whats wrong with you?" Carin anxiously called out to Raven several times, finding him in a daze.

  "Oh, its okay, I just got a bit dizzy when I woke up, but Im fine now. Lets go." He comforted Carlin, putting his right hand on her shoulder, and the two siblings set off on the road to the Golden City, supporting each other.

  The cobblestones that appear and disappear on the highway have witnessed decades of wind and rain, and are also witnessing the impending disaster.

  The sun in the forest always gives people a feeling that it will set soon, and the speed of darkness is very fast, with an illusion of suddenly losing all light sources in the dark night.

  It wasnt long after nightfall that the wind blowing from behind brought the distant, mournful cries of agony. The two siblings knew that these were fellow survivors who had also escaped from the village but hadnt made it to the Golden City in time.

  Lei Wen said it right.

  Even if they knew, both of them would break out in a cold sweat.

  The City of Gold was getting closer and closer. In the night, the fire basin that never went out was like a beacon of hope illuminating Ravens brother and sisters hearts.

  Closer! Closer! Getting closer and closer!

  The sound of the city gate guards chatting can even be heard.

  At this moment, a low growl similar to that of an ape suddenly came from afar behind, accompanied by the sound of breaking branches.

  "Run quickly!"

  Levin panicked and started running wildly with Karin, but the sound behind them was still rapidly approaching.

  "Huff... huff... huff..." Panting heavily, the bloody breath spewing from his lungs was like ignited gasoline, and for an instant, Raven thought he was a fire-breathing dragon.

  How much farther?

  I dont know.

  Anyway, the outline of the city gate is getting bigger and bigger. At the same time, the corner of my eye also caught a glimpse of the black shadow jumping back and forth between the trees on the side of my body.

  Its near!

  Getting closer!

  No! Ill be caught before I can get out of the woods.

  Levins heart was so tense it felt like it was going to fly out of his chest. Just then, Kitty seemed to make a tossing motion with her hand.

  Levin was seriously injured and his perception ability dropped sharply.

  It felt like a dark figure was hit by something and let out a miserable cry. The movement behind also paused for a moment.

  Before long, the view suddenly opened up, and they didnt know when they rushed out of the forest.

  Before me was a bustling crowd near the city gate, as well as dense ranks of Golden City guards.

  His back was burning, and Raven instinctively felt that it was the result of countless eyes focusing on his own back, while the source of the gaze could only be that group of heavenly killing Lin Bongdi.

  No!

  Whats going on?

  Lindesmen are cunning and only prioritize killing the weakest targets. Right in front of him, two meters away, was a refugee child from the same village, Raven recognized him as Zachs, who was only 7 years old.

  Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at Raven!

  Levin suddenly turned his head and looked at the strange creatures standing on the treetops, their eyes fixed on Levin with unbridled greed, fervor and regret.

  Why is that? Raven had a feeling as if he himself was on Lin Fengs wanted list.

  "Whoosh——" The divine archer among the guards shot an arrow that hit one of the Lin Baos eyes, directly shattering its brain. The little monster, less than a meter tall, fell straight down.

  The Lin Gongdi Jing only showed their cowardly side at this time: when facing more numerous and powerful enemies, they often dispersed in a hurry.

  "Die! Monster!" The refugees jeered at the brilliant performance of the guardian, shouting and screaming in unison.

  Infected by this vengeful atmosphere, Little Zach also ran to the edge of the forest with his fist raised and roared.

  "No—" Raven suddenly had a bad premonition.
