Chapter 38: Moss’ Strength

Ell looked left and right and realized that she was alone at the moment.

The surrounding dense forest was lush and green, and countless terrifying monsters seemed to be hidden in it.

She hurriedly took two steps to catch up with Moss and Alan. In this Mystic Realm, she did not dare to be alone.

Alan’s address of Moss made her a little curious. Ell followed behind Alan and could not help but ask, “Alan, is Moss the captain of your team?”

Alan only nodded but had no intention of turning back. Ell felt incredulous.

The captain was the core character of a team, the soul. Either he had the wisdom to lead the team to victory, or he had the strength to convince the team. Although Ell felt that Moss could barely pass the test in terms of wisdom as he was only a Knight, his strength was obviously not high.

Compared to Moss, Ell felt that Alan was more suitable for the team leader.

Although Ell had her own thoughts, she did not say them aloud. After all, this was the matter of another team, so it was not appropriate for her to interfere.

However, she already had a deep prejudice against Moss. She wanted to see how Moss would justify himself as the team leader.

Not long after they had walked out of the forest, several crazed Explosive Wolves began to rush out of the woods. However, before these wolves could get close, most of them were numbed by Alan using a potion. Moss did not make a single move. This made Ell feel that Moss was like a burden that had simply followed Alan here.

As Moss’ team advanced, the number of Explosive Wolves roaming around increased. Ell also joined the battle. This time, Moss’ performance was beyond Ell’s imagination.

“Be careful, Alan. That’s a Level-4 Explosive Wolf!”

Ell pulled out her sword from the body of an Explosive Wolf that she stabbed. When she saw that Alan was facing a Level-4 Explosive Wolf, she could not help but remind him.

After this battle period, Ell understood the boundary of Alan’s strength more or less. In her eyes, Alan’s level should be around Level-4 to 5. It might be just right for him to face a Level-4 Explosive Wolf.

Ell did not have any intention of looking down on Alan. After all, her own level was only Level-3. It was not easy for her to level up after hunting with Cullen’s large team. Thus it must be more challenging for Alan to level up to Level-4 in such a short period with Moss as a burden.

Seeing Alan and the Level-4 Explosive Wolf confronting each other, Ell was already prepared to go up and help. However, she saw Alan looking at Moss and motioning to the Level-4 Explosive Wolf. Moss nodded and actually swapped places with Alan.

This stunned Ell.

What was going on? Why did Alan let Moss, the Knight, go up and take on the Level-4 Explosive Wolf?

Did he have a grudge against Moss?

Although Ell didn’t like Moss, she couldn’t leave him to die. She wanted to go up and help.

“Moss!”

She was just about to walk up when her actions were stopped.

A chubby hand blocked in front of her.

It was Alan who extended his hand. He explained, “It’s okay. Moss doesn’t need help. We’ll just stay here and watch.”

Alan’s attitude made Ell even more confused. What was he doing? Did Alan want to train Moss? Was he not worried about Moss at all?

Before Ell could continue asking questions, a silver-white light flashed in front of her eyes. Then, something that looked like a sandbag fell heavily to the ground with a bang.

Ell turned around in shock and was surprised to find that the Level-4 Explosive Wolf had fallen to the ground in front of Moss. Its body was cut into two halves.

She looked at the sword that Moss was holding in disbelief. She was sure that it was an ordinary guard sword that gave off the great cold light just now.

A shocking fact. Did Moss kill a Level-4 Explosive Wolf?

She had always thought that Moss was a burden, but he actually killed an Explosive Wolf single-handedly?

The earth-shattering change of Moss’ image in her heart made Ell feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Until Moss came back with the sword in his hand, she had not been able to react to the shock.

Then she heard Alan say to Moss, “Moss, how is it? Have you leveled up?”

Moss nodded and replied, “I’ve leveled up. In the future, I’m afraid that Magical Beasts around Level-4 will not be of much use to me. From now on, I’ll leave them to you.”

Ell was dumbstruck.

She finally understood why Moss was the leader of this two-person team.

Moss had the strength to absolutely crush Alan.

If he did not level up when killing Magical Beasts, he is at least three levels higher than the Magical Beast itself. Judging from Moss’s instantly killing the Explosive Wolf earlier, his strength was definitely far higher than Level-4.

Moss must be at least Level-7!

Coming to this conclusion made Ell extremely surprised.

From what she knew in this Mystic Realm, there should be no one higher than Moss’ level. Even Cullen was only at Level-6.

Cullen was able to level up so quickly because there were other people constantly blocking the Magical Beasts, and then he would be the one to harvest the heads.

From the looks of it, Moss had been fighting the Magical Beasts one-on-one.

Ell swallowed her saliva and could not help but feel incredulous. It was hard to imagine what kind of training Moss had gone through to get to this point.

Could it be that he had been killing all the Magical Beasts he had seen since he entered the realm?

Buzz.

Ell did not have time to be surprised. A tremor came, and the three people present could not help but be stunned.

The three of them had experienced such tremors before, and the instigator of the tremors had left a deep impression on them.

“It’s the pack of Explosive Wolves!” Ell shouted. Her tone was filled with fear.

Moss did not say anything. He looked at the dense forest around him and said, “Climb up the tree!”

Alan nodded and quickly found a nearby tree to climb up. Ell quickly reacted and imitated Alan to find a suitable tree to climb.

As before, Moss jumped onto the tree with a leap. The three of them stood on the tree and looked vigilantly at the source of the sound.
