Leiu killed wolf after wolf, without stopping, he didn't miss anything and looted them all. He also looted weapons and leather armors, but they were truly useless as the stats bonus or the quality was very poor.
2 hours, that was how much time he spent killing wolves. Around 4PM, he finally stopped, having only 2 hours left before needing to log off.
The experience given when killing a wolf was meagre, so he only leveled up once, reaching Lv21.
In the course of those 2 hours, some of his skills leveled up, and though the process was slower than he expected, it was still a welcome increase.
Dark Sword Mastery(Basic Lv3) : When wielding a one-handed or two-handed sword ; you deal 17.5% more damage.
Darkness(passive Lv2) : At night, you deal 18% more damage
Dark Empowerment(Basic Lv2) : For 30 seconds, you gain 23% physical and magical damage reduction and 13% more damage
Cooldown : 9 minutes 40 seconds
Cost : 15 Mana
Invisible Strike (Rare Lv4) : You can slash a second time with a fast speed: The attack would deal 150% the damage of the first strike.
After taking down yet another small pack of Wolves, Leiu was startled to see a System Notification pop-up.
Achievement gained! You managed to kill 100 forest wolves: +5 Agility
Leiu didn't know there was such thing as achievements, especially ones related to killing a certain number of enemies. Still, this welcome surprised motivated him to seek out the rabbits and Bees too, hoping that he would be rewarded with stats after killing enough of them.l.
From the 104 Health Potion and 27 Mana Potions he had initially bought, he used 9 Mana Potions and 29 Health Potions. it was a lot but it had to be done. Leiu priotized dodging instead of parrying or blocking, nevertheless, there were times where he was forced to take a hit. Using Potions between fights greatly accelerated the time needed for rest.
As for his Stamina, he would fight three packs of wolves and rest for 5-10 minutes to fully recover, Leiu didn't know if Stamina Potions existed or not, but even if they did, they must cost an astronomical amount, and must surely be a very rare drop.
He didn't loot any Health or Mana potions from the wolves, but he accumulated 134 wolf furs, and each fur could be sold for 5 coppers.
Moreover, he obtained 6341 coppers from the 134 wolves he killed, so, all in all, if all his loot were converted into money, it would be around 69 silvers.
After a short rest to look at his stats and check his loot and money, Leiu continued his hunt for the Forest Wolves, which were everywhere in the forest despite him killing over a hundred of them. The only plausible guess was that they were respawning at an alarming rate.

----------------------------------------
Leiu used the momentum gained from kicking a wolf who jumped at him from behind and jumped high in the air, his jump this time was precise as his legs landed on a tree 2 meters ahead of him.
His legs perfectly landed on a thick tree trunk, he kicked the trunk to gain a better momentum as he flew through the air with fast speed and slashed at a nearby wolf, cutting it in half.
He didn't stop as he was in mid-air, he made a clumsy leap in mid-air to slash at a wolf which was not far from the other one which was now dead.
Despite the clumsy leap, the attack was precise and enough to kill the wolf. Leiu then landed on his two feet, he didn't pause and backed away a few steps to stabilize his body and at the same time evade a leaping wolf.
The wolf which saw the enemy dodging his attack, was preparing to back away to try to grasp another opportunity, however, it wasn't that lucky as Leiu used 'Invisible Strike', the Steel Sword smashed the wolf's head, pulverizing it and at the same time, it shattered and metal pieces landed on the ground.
Although the Steel Sword was destroyed, Leiu was smiling as he just dealt with a pack of 11 wolves, he wasn't totally sure but he managed to do it and only lost 9 Health Points, so how could he not be happy?
When he had began his hunt, he had the Steel Sword he got from the Trials and 5 others, the second one just shattered, so he took another one and looted the corpses.
..
At 5:35 PM right now, the Level of the wolves became 14 for some reason, previously it ranged between 13 and 12 but now they all became Lv14.
Their prowess didn't increase and the loot didn't change, he just looted wolf fangs more often now.
Wolves dropped their fur and fangs, in the beginning, out of the 134 wolves, Leiu looted 12 fangs, that in itself shows how rare their fangs are, but now, the Lv14 Wolves dropped fangs very often.
Out of 10 Lv14 wolves, 6 fangs would drop, as for fur, they would drop every time.
Currently, Leiu had 217 wolf fur and 46 wolf fangs, he didn't know how much they cost, but he didn't need them so he was already planning to sell them to the merchant along with the fur and the useless items he looted.
Speaking of useless items, they were a mix of leather armors, basic gloves, basic boots and so on, he also looted bronze swords, but he didn't bother keeping them and threw them out of his inventory, it was already full so adding junk which isn't even worth 10 copper is needless.
He was already Lv21 at 44%, although the experience got is almost non-existent, but if you kill as many as Leiu had, there's bound to be an increase of experience.
Moreover, the Lv14 Wolves gave a bit more, probably between 0.3 and 0.5%.
The forest became much darker as the trees became thicker and increase in number, it's already the end of the day and the sky already became to darken.
It was a good thing for Leiu as his skills would increase too, whenever he encountered more than 10 wolves, he would use 'Dark Empowerment' to make things easier, it was really helpful.
The damage was reduced by a lot so even if he got hit, his Health wouldn't decrease by much, plus, he deals more damage.
His skills didn't increase since that time, it's a pity but he wasn't in a hurry, sooner or later, they will level up.
Leiu kept killing wolves without stopping, he loved doing this, and by the end of each fight, he would improve by a little bit, the improvement is not the experience bar, neither it is the loot, but the skills, the fighting style.
His dodging is becoming more and more perfect, his attacks are becoming more accurate, most of the time, he would only attack the vital places of the wolf, the head or the chest, he wouldn't recklessly attack anywhere, that would barely do any damage and it's useless, better finish it fast and aim for the fatal places!
At 6:10 PM, Leiu finally stopped after endlessly killing wolves for more than 3 hours, the reason he stopped was not that he was tired or bored, but because he encountered what he was looking for, at last.
