Chapter 5: One-Eyed Demon Wolf

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The light around the wooden house became dimmer and dimmer, and this discovery made the Demon Wolf become more restless.

Its pupils were pale green, and it kept grinding its sharp claws on the ground. It was waiting for the best opportunity to kill Joseph in one strike.

It had not eaten for a long time, so it had used up a lot of energy. The moment it found Joseph, it felt a sense of danger from Joseph.

This was also the main reason why it had been waiting at the wooden house. It did not want to give up on this prey that took great difficulty for it to find.

Joseph was standing behind the wooden door, staring at the Demon Wolf with alert eyes.

Through the system prompt just now, he knew that this was an unavoidable battle because he knew very well how terrifying a hungry beast was.

However, without absolute confidence, he did not want to engage in a direct battle with the Demon Wolf. Even if he was lucky enough to kill the Demon Wolf, it would definitely leave him with a body full of scars.

This underground world that lacked medicine and medical treatment was just a slow death.

“Achoo!”

The shabby wooden house was ventilated from all sides, and gusts of cold wind continuously pierced through his thin clothes, causing Joseph’s body to gradually stiffen.

He hurriedly drank a mouthful of brandy, which caused his stiff body to feel a trace of warmth.

If it were not for the fact that he had eaten during the day, even the bone-piercing cold wind would have taken half of his life. Not to mention the extremely dangerous Demon Wolf outside.

After drinking half a bottle of brandy, Joseph’s body began to warm up.

In order to increase the success rate of the trade, he added half a bottle of brandy to the trading list again.

This half bottle of brandy caused a huge sensation in the chat room.

“My God, why does that lucky b*tch favor Big Brother Joseph so much? Could it be that the two of them are having an affair?”

“I’m almost freezing to death. This damn wooden house has cold air leaking in. I feel that I might not be able to survive this damn night.”

“Oh my God, why don’t you bless your devout believers? There’s no hope of survival in this damn Devil’s Game!”

“Let that old man God meet Satan. I’m sleepy and hungry now, but there’s a damn ghoul outside my wooden house. It’s continuously attacking my wooden house. I’m going to fight it out with it now!”

…

“It turns out that I’m not the only one in danger. It seems like this is more like a beginner’s quest when you’re out of the beginner village. Use this crisis to eliminate some unsuitable players. Let us truly understand the cruelty of this game!”

Joseph held his short sword and muttered softly, but it was useless to say this now.

He could already feel that the Demon Wolf outside was about to reach its limit. Its slowly approaching body and its sharp claws that were constantly grinding against each other indicated its intention to attack.

Just as Joseph held his short sword and was about to fight to his death, the private message in the chat room flashed once again.

Emily: “I’m sorry to disturb you. I’m really too cold. I urgently need brandy to add some warmth to my cold body. Although I don’t have the Magical Beast’s Blood that you want, I have a skill book fragment. I wonder if I can make a trade with you?”

Joseph said, “I’m very sorry. What I urgently need is Magical Beast’s Blood. As for the skill book fragment, you should know that just one is of no use at all!”

Emily said, “I have a skill fragment for the water ball spell. If you learn the water ball spell, you won’t have to worry about clean water in this dangerous world.”

Joseph: “But you only have one, right? If you really want to trade, you can only exchange for that half bottle of brandy. As for the other materials, I’m very sorry. Those are trade items for the Magical Beast’s Blood. I can’t give it to you.”

Emily, “Alright, you win. You’re simply a stingy Grandet!”

Joseph, “Thank you for your compliment. Then let’s start the trade!”

Joseph had just changed the terms of the trade while the half bottle of brandy on the other side of the trading table disappeared.

Instead, a familiar goatskin fragment appeared in his hand.

Three Water Ball Skill Book Shards had been collected so easily?

Joseph could not believe it. He had even forgotten about the Demon Wolf outside of the wooden house. He had obtained one from an F-Grade Treasure Chest and one from an E-Grade Construction Treasure Chest. This time, he had traded for the last shard with the brandy.

Did that mean that he could learn the Water Ball Skill?

[Do you want to learn the Water Ball Skill? ]

[ you need 3/3 of the water ball skill fragment to learn it. ]

“Learn!”

The moment Joseph said that, the three water ball skill fragments turned into streams of light and entered his mind. Strange and profound knowledge appeared in his mind one after another.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

At this moment, the Demon Wolf that had been waiting for an opportunity suddenly launched an attack and directly crashed into the fragile wooden wall of the wooden house.

With a few crisp sounds, a few tiny cracks appeared on the wooden wall, and they continued to grow rapidly as the Demon Wolf crashed into it.

Joseph, who had just received the profound knowledge in his mind, blurted out, “Water Ball Skill!”

A ball of flowing water slowly appeared in front of Joseph. He instinctively drove the water to smash the Demon Wolf. Unexpectedly, the soft water ball directly smashed the Demon Wolf’s huge body and sent it flying backward.

Looking at the sorry appearance of the Demon Wolf, Joseph did not even have time to smile before his body started feeling tired. He suddenly experienced a feeling of emptiness after such intense actions.

He had never thought that just using the Water Ball Skill would cause such a consequence.

The Demon Wolf, which had just got up from the ground, shook its head and pounced on him again, full of anger.

There was nothing he could do. Even though he was physically exhausted, Joseph did not dare to rest. He picked up the short sword in his hand and kept stabbing through the gaps of the wooden house.

Just like that, Joseph and the wolf began to fight through a wooden wall.

The wolf, which was triggered by blood, kept hitting the wooden wall, trying to tear apart the little thing that dared to stab it into pieces.

Joseph also wanted to stab the wolf to death before the wooden wall was broken, so that he could avoid fighting the wolf head-on.

After panting heavily a few times, Joseph adjusted himself. After everything was ready, he held the short sword in his hand tightly.

Stab!

At this moment, Joseph did not have the slightest bit of fear in his heart.

When the dagger pierced through the gap, it directly stabbed the Demon Wolf’s left eye.

Blood sprayed out. The Demon Wolf had already turned into a one-eyed Demon Wolf!
