The mutated tree fell to the ground and died. As a BOSS, at only level 10, it no longer had any particularly powerful skills apart from its strong defense and recovery skill.

Although the mutated tree tried to resist, it was all in vain.

After the mutated tree demon lost his breath, Chen Bing rushed over.

He already learned the “Expert” level of logging skills from old Bard, but Chen Bing actually had no plans to cut down the mutated tree into wood, and his words to old Bard were just to get him to teach the skills.

The reason was simple: he could only choose to use either the logging skills or the Devouring Evolution.

There was still a lot of high-quality wood on islands. As long as one had logging skills, wood was not a problem. Now the most important thing was to improve one’s strength. Otherwise, even if one built a ship that was extremely resistant, it might be stolen by other stronger players.

“System: You’ve devoured and absorbed the body of the mutated tree!”

“System: Your level has increased to level 7!”

“System: You got a temporary skill “Quick Regeneration” for a duration of 5 minutes!”

“Quick Regeneration (passive): In combat, 100 health points per second is restored, but the recovery effect is affected by the surrounding environment.”

…

Using his skills against the mutated tree, a stream of light flashed across Chen Bing and his level rose to level 7.

By devouring and absorbing the mutated tree, Chen Bing had also acquired a temporary skill from the mutated tree, and this temporary skill lasted for 5 minutes.

“This temporary skill is great, but it’s a pity that we won’t be able to have a chance to use it soon.”

To restore 100 health points per second, with his strong attribute, he was now invincible.

If there was a BOSS nearby, Chen Bing could fight it head-on without any strategies.

“10 points increased in physical strength, 5 points in strength, 3 points in agility, 5 points in spirit, 3 points in intelligence! Added 26 points to the attributes, BOSS level sure is worthwhile.”

Chen Bing looked at his upgraded attributes again, and he couldn’t help but be cheered up.

Added 26 attribute points for just 1 level upgrade, which was even more than the upgrade of other players’ by 3 levels!

His current attribute was much better than a normal level 10 player!

After the mutated bear, the mutated tree gave him another 10 points to his physical attribute again, and Chen Bing believed that only a few current players would be able to break his defense.

“We shouldn’t waste the Quick Regeneration skill. Let’s take a walk deeper into the fruit forest, there may be more powerful monsters!”

The attribute rose sharply, and he was in a state that made him almost invincible. Chen Bing felt that it was too wasteful to go back to Old Bard now.

There were mutated bears and mutated tree in this fruit forest, so, there might still be other mutated monsters.

“Come on, come with me to find a better guy!”

Chen Bing shouted to the Warrior Slime and went deeper into the fruit forest with him and the Shadow of Slime.

With only five minutes left, Chen Bing didn’t really expect that he would find a more powerful mutated monster.

But after walking deeper for less than two minutes, Chen Bing was surprised to find a faint gray fog in the fruit forest ahead.

This is a highly poisonous fog!

As soon as he approached, Chen Bing’s life dropped rapidly at a rate of 50 HP per second.

Without the effect of the “Quick Regeneration” skill, Chen Bing wouldn’t be able to stay here for 10 seconds.

The front was gray, and the thickness was unknown.

What a strange thing! Old Bard should have known about the fog, but why didn’t he say anything? No, it’s no use even if he said it. Under normal circumstances, nobody can enter this poison fog at all, and it is impossible for old Bard to know that absorbing the mutated tree’s body with the Devouring Evolution skills can gain this Quick Regeneration skill. Without the Quick Regeneration skills, to enter this poisonous fog would just be suicide.

Chen Bing thought quickly.

He soon made up his mind.

He let the Shadow of Slime return to the shadow state, and then Chen Bing put away the Warrior Slime and strode into the poisonous fog alone.

There must be some secret in this poisonous fog!

Now that he had the chance and could enter it safely, there was no reason why Chen Bing should not go in.

It was dangerous to do so, but in his present state, he could afford to die for once.

Affected by the surrounding poisonous fog environment, the effect of the Quick Regeneration skill had been weakened, only restoring 80 HP per second, but it was still enough to keep Chen Bing’s life from being reduced.

Chen Bing walked in the poisonous fog for a full minute before a glimmer of light appeared in front of him.

“Shit!”

Walking out of the poisonous fog, Chen Bing looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned.

He only found a large area of ironwood growing in front, and more importantly, this ironwood had been mutated!

There were as many as 20 or 30 mutated trees!

These mutated trees, each separated by only 10 meters…one might enter the attack range of two or more variant trees at the same time if he was not careful.

There were even several mutated trees, simply growing in a small area of a few meters; if he approached, he would be attacked by them at the same time.

Roar!

Chen Bing again summoned the Warrior Slime. The Warrior Slime came out and as he saw so many mutated trees, he felt a big pressure and let out a roar.

The branches of more than 20 mutated trees moved slightly and made the rustling sound of leaves, as if to warn Chen Bing and the Warrior Slime to leave.

Leave?

Chen Bing smiled.

If he did that then he would be stupid!

There were more than 20 BOSSes here, if he killed them all it would be enough for him to move up to the next level, and “Expert” logging skills could also come in handy. He could cut down enough high-quality wood from them to build a ship!

A whole ship made of mutated tree’s wood, how nice it was just thinking about it!

Not only was it enough for him to build one himself, but Chen Bing estimated that there would be more to sell!

This kind of high-quality wood was now of great value, which was definitely the sign of making a fortune!

This was not a pipe dream. He had enough fresh water and rat poison; with his attributes, it wouldn’t be that hard for him to kill these mutated trees!

“Kill them!”

By the time the Shadow of Slime came out, Chen Bing had already found his target.

With two slimes, Chen Bing issued attacks directly.

When the highly poisonous fresh water was poured down on the ground, the mutated trees were no longer a threat.

Chen Bing’s physical strength had risen sharply after the upgrade, and there was no danger in killing the mutated trees.

In less than three minutes, the first mutated tree was killed by Chen Bing.

“Haha!”

Chen Bing took an axe out of his backpack and chopped the body of the mutated tree.

“System: You obtained “Mutated Ironwood”.”

“System: You obtained “Mutated Ironwood”.”

“System: You obtained “Mutated Ironwood”.”

…

“Mutated Ironwood: High-quality wood from mutated ironwood, very rare and extremely tough, used in key locations of the ship to keep the ship safe in a storm.”

System prompts sounded one by one. A mutated tree gave Chen Bing five pieces of mutated ironwood in total!

This was the credit of being an “expert” in logging skills. It would be lucky for someone in the “beginner” level to get two pieces.
