Summoned beasts have one advantage: they can fight tirelessly, day and night.
As long as its health remains, Xiao Qiang is a perpetual motion machine.
Perhaps Xiao Qiang is truly that strong, or maybe passing healers occasionally restore its health, but Xiao Qiang has been continuously slaying enemies.
In lower-tier areas, Xiao Qiang can indeed take down a small monster with a single strike.
Of course, with ten clones tanking, it's not easy for it to die.
A few days later, Xiao Chen had fought his way to within ten miles of Tiannan City.
The monsters here were already level thirty to forty, capable of inflicting some damage on Xiao Chen.
Without the awakened Life Steal ability, Xiao Chen wouldn't last ten minutes.
But now, he felt very resilient.
Even if a powerful strike was triggered, monsters of this level couldn't be taken down with a single arrow.
In this area, the kill speed slowed down.
However, the rewards from killing elite monsters were higher, and he even managed to take down a level forty boss with his maneuvering.
"9600 gold coins, almost reaching ten thousand."
With some luck, getting a couple of good pieces of equipment would suffice.
Xiao Chen set his sights on a level 45 elite monster, ready to make his move.
Suddenly, he received a notification:
"Ding, guild profit dividends have been credited.
You have received a total of 210,000 contribution points and a reward of 500 gold coins."
Over the past year, the Tianxing Guild had been rapidly developing.
Various guild industries were gradually taking off, generating considerable profits.
What Xiao Chen didn't know was that guild profits could be shared!
Five hundred gold coins were already quite substantial.
"I love the guild!"
With finally ten thousand gold, Xiao Chen immediately began upgrading his life weapon.
【Ding, your weapon upgrade was successful, -10,000 gold coins】
【Bronze Bow (Exclusive Weapon, Non-tradable!) Equipment Level: None
Total Attributes +40 Attack +400 Attack Range +20 Attack Speed +0.3 Experience Bonus 30%
Effect 1: 10% chance for a critical hit, Attack +800
Effect 2: 10% chance to ignore opponent's defense
Effect 3: Reduces target's defense by 10%
Upgrade Conditions: Experience 10,000,000, Gold 100,000, Enhancement Stones 10, Refinement Stones 10, Beast Tendon 1
Enhancement Level: 0】
After the weapon upgrade, Xiao Chen's attack range reached 120 meters, and attack speed reached 1.
The weapon's benefits were too significant, with total attributes doubling and experience bonus increasing by ten percent.
Reducing the target's defense by ten percent was also an incredibly powerful effect.
However, seeing that upgrading to the next level required ten million experience and one hundred thousand gold, Xiao Chen felt a lack of motivation to upgrade.
Ten thousand gold took half a year of hard work, and one hundred thousand gold would take several years to accumulate.
Those stones weren't cheap either.
The conditions for upgrading the life weapon became increasingly stringent, with each level requiring ten times the resources.
Of course, this bronze-level life weapon's power could already rival that of silver-level weapons.
"Enhancement level is zero, right, this weapon can still be enhanced."
Or rather, all weapons can be enhanced.
However, most people wouldn't enhance weapons below level sixty, as the investment was too high and the return too low.
Currently, Xiao Chen had no intention of enhancing, even if the equipment was upgradable.
Too poor, can't afford to enhance!
After half a year of hard work, the effort was not in vain, and Xiao Chen was very happy.
"Haha, let's kill an elite monster to celebrate."
With the weapon's defense reduction effect, killing became much easier.
A level 45 Abyssal Demon Spider was taken down in less than five minutes.
"Ding, you received Gold +10, Experience +0, Guild Contribution Points +20"
Xiao Chen didn't dare venture too deep, staying around the level forty area, planning to circle Tiannan City.
Tiannan City was huge, and circling it might take a year.
If he could trigger One in a Million four times a day, his total attributes would increase by about 20,000 after a year.
The drops from level forty elite monsters were already quite good, and with some luck, a silver-level necklace or a skill book could yield thousands.
Xiao Chen's luck wasn't particularly great, but with enough kills, there would always be a time to strike it rich.
Even now, picking up some bronze equipment and various drops could earn a few hundred gold a day.
"Within a month, promote Xiao Qiang, and within two months, sweep all ordinary and black iron-level attribute items."
Of course, this was just Xiao Chen's goal, and it was hard to achieve.
Let others level up quickly; they can go ahead.

"Ding, you have killed 100 elite monsters, achieving the title: Elite Hunter.
Total Attributes +10, Gold +10"
It had been a long time since an achievement popped up, and he didn't expect killing elite monsters could yield one.
"If elite monsters can yield achievements, then killing a boss must have one too, right?"
Xiao Chen's motivation suddenly surged.
Every day, he spent sixteen hours in the wild grinding monsters, then returned to the city to rest.
Every day was fulfilling and beautiful.
Xiao Chen couldn't even count how many days he had been grinding; it must have been over a month.
Occasionally, Xiao Chen would encounter teams going out to hunt bosses, mostly targeting level 60 bosses.
Several times, people invited Xiao Chen to join, but he refused.
High-level bosses had high rewards, but with so many people sharing, it wasn't worth it, and efficiency was low.
"Ding, you triggered One in a Million, random attribute +20"
Xiao Chen was very satisfied, as his health and defense could increase a bit each day.
"Why not venture a bit deeper into the monster territory?"
If he could occasionally kill some level fifty-plus small monsters, gaining some experience would be good.
As Xiao Chen was pondering this, he suddenly heard cries for help ahead.
"Help!"
The one calling for help was naturally a human practitioner.
Xiao Chen had received help from others in the wild more than once, and if possible, he would lend a hand.
"Only one person calling for help, someone like him?
Without some strength, one wouldn't dare come here alone, right?"
After a few Blinks, Xiao Chen saw a white-clad woman with a staff running frantically among a group of monsters.
While fleeing, she was also casting healing spells on herself.
"A Priest!"
The main abilities of a Priest are healing and support, but they also have some basic attacks.
"Something's not right, why is a level sixty-two Priest running around like this?
And there aren't any powerful monsters chasing her."
In a team, Priests are always protected.
A Priest leaving the team, what's going on?
Xiao Chen was quite helpless, but he still had to lend a hand.
"Run towards me, I'll help you clear the monsters!"
The woman's movement was slow because too many small monsters were blocking her path.
"Something's not right, why is her health so low, only half left?"
A Priest of such a high level could kill small monsters of level thirty to forty with basic attacks, at most taking a few more hits.
Moreover, wasn't she healing herself?
"Hurry, save me!"
Seeing Xiao Chen, the woman shouted at him anxiously.
"Don't worry, there won't be any danger!"
In this area, Xiao Chen was confident.
"Wait, why are you only level 55!"
What does "only level 55" mean?
"Isn't level 55 enough?"
Xiao Chen was frustrated; he wanted to save someone, but was being looked down upon.
The woman's expression quickly changed from surprise to terror:
"Quick, you should run too, or you'll die!"
"It's not that easy to die; today I'll show you how a level 55 person saves you."
