With a sudden slash of his sword, he broke free from the men's grasp and pounced on the sow.
"Damn it!" the archer cursed, changing his downward thrust of the dagger to an upward slash.
After a "clang" sound, both men simultaneously felt a numbness in their hands, and their sword-wielding hands froze in mid-air.
Just then, Lin Yu's already meager mana was completely depleted.
"Mana points: 0/100".
The longsword in his hand vanished instantly, and Lin Yu thought to himself: Oh no!
Using sword energy directly to form a sword consumes too much energy. If you run out of mana halfway through a fight, what do you do?
The next second, Lin Yu landed on the sow's back, his hands empty, and he stood there stunned for a moment.
"Haha!" The archer laughed, never expecting Lin Yu to run out of mana at this moment, it was truly a stroke of luck!
"Lin Yu, wait until I subdue this monster, then I'll deal with you!"
The archer smirked and ordered his teammates to trap Lin Yu and prevent him from escaping. Then, he slowly thrust his dagger into the sow's head.
Knowing that Lin Yu had lost his means of attack, he was not flustered at all.
Now, it was Lin Yu who panicked. His mind raced as he considered a solution, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck him:
Oh, and I also have another talent—Sword Spirit, which allows me to devour and refine sword-type weapons, converting them into mana.
The daggers held by archers should also be considered sword-type weapons.
Without hesitation, Lin Yu reached for the dagger and activated his talent: Sword Spirit Master.
Lin Yu's sudden action caught everyone present off guard.
His teammates looked puzzled. What was Lin Yu up to?
The archer gave a mocking smile: "What? Still trying to put up a last stand? Still trying to catch a blade bare-handed? Foolish!"
The next second, Lin Yu's hand landed lightly on the dagger, and an invisible ripple spread out. Sword spirit, activate!
Lin Yu felt as if something was being absorbed into his body and converted into energy, instantly replenishing his previously depleted energy reserves.
On the control panel, the data jumps to: [Mana Points: 10/110.]
Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously looked at the dagger.
The dagger, which had been gleaming coldly, suddenly lost its sharpness and became less piercing.
This happened in the blink of an eye. The archer didn't immediately notice anything amiss, but he still managed to withdraw his dagger with lightning speed.
He didn't know why, it was as if the dagger had come to life and was making a stress response.
A look of confusion flashed across the archer's eyes, and the other teammates looked over with strange expressions.
In their eyes, Lin Yu seemed to have deflected their seemingly inevitable attack with just one hand.
Catching a blade with bare hands? Does a swordsman even have that ability?
Seeing the archer withdraw his dagger, Lin Yu felt a pang of regret. To be honest, he hadn't absorbed enough energy from that one strike.
However, given the swordsman's grasp of the battle situation, he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. His sword energy surged forth, and an illusory longsword landed in his hand.
The longsword thrust out.
10 mana points, lasts only 1 second, but 1 second is enough.
With a "plop!" sound, the pig's head hit the ground, and the sow died.
A streak of light immediately flew into Lin Yu's body.
Experience points: 20%.
The archers stared in disbelief at the scene, their hearts heavy with sorrow.
"Didn't you run out of mana? Where did you get mana?" the archer questioned.
As a noble archer, he could no longer bear the blow of having his monster stolen once again.
Lin Yu didn't have time to answer his question. The most important thing right now was to find a way to get away. He looked around and his gaze suddenly froze on the sow's carcass in front of him.
There, a faint halo of light emanated, eventually coalescing into a curved bow.
It has a small, bow-shaped body and a unique design, with a small pig's head sticking up high in the center.
Holy crap! I lost an item!
Lin Yu was both surprised and delighted. Generally speaking, the probability of getting items after killing monsters is extremely low, especially for low-level monsters.
"Huffing and puffing."
Lin Yu heard heavy breathing. The archers and the others all looked greedily at the prop, especially the archers, whose eyes were glued to it.
"It, it's mine!" the archer exclaimed excitedly.
This bow seemed tailor-made for him, holding immense appeal for him.
We absolutely must get it!
Items dropped by monsters are unclaimed until they are added to your personal inventory. The inventory function is only unlocked after reaching level 10.
Now, whoever grabs this prop keeps it!
Almost simultaneously, everyone rushed towards the props, reaching out to grab them.
With lightning speed, Lin Yu grabbed one corner of the bow, dodging the outstretched hands, and narrowly retrieved it.
The archer, his hand grasping at empty air, flew into a rage, glaring at Lin Yu.
"Give me the props!"
The other teammates also stared intently at Lin Yu: "You're surrounded, you can't escape. If you know what's good for you, hand over the items, and we might let you go!"
