Level Up in Earth Evolution

Next morning, after having breakfast, they all headed to north plane. They were staying there for a long time, so Li Wei made sure to pay for the inn room for extended stay or he might have to struggle to get a room later.

"Is it really okay to not take any quest?" Li Xin asked him, because they hadn't taken any quest from the adventurer guild.

For the North planes, they provided special quests with a long duration knowing adventurers will go there for long time.

Li Wei shook his head at her.

"If we take the quest, we have to spend time searching for the specific monsters required for subjugation, and it will waste a lot of time. So, it's better to level up for a week and think about quests later. As for money, we can earn it by selling the monsters to the system," he explained, turning his gaze towards the North plane in front of him.

Even though it was called a plane, it was actually a forest with mountains and rivers, the same as RPG games with otherworldly things.

Li Wei let out a sigh. "It still feels like a dream," he murmured softly. He played RPG games and never thought that one day he would be able to use magic and skills just like games.

"Where are we going?" Elva inquired, looking at the endless forest, the forest was too big and they have to choose a place depending on the area.

Li Wei didn't answer immediately and opened his system map where his current location was displayed. Even though the map wasn't unlocked completely, it was enough for now. The map was getting unlocked by their levels and wandering around.

The map showed that they were currently at the edge of the North plane, and in front of them was an area of level 11-15. The area spanned around thirty kilometres wide.

Li Wei observed the map, showing them, "We will go to this mountain because there is a river nearby, so we won't have a problem with water," he said, pointing towards the area on the map.

Everyone nodded, agreeing with him, even though they had brought water with them; sometimes it may not be enough.

"Okay, then let's go," Li Wei said, leading his party inside the Nether Planes. Without hesitation, he directly headed towards the desired location without engaging in combat with any monsters.

"Brother, why aren't we killing the monsters now?" Li Xin asked with a puzzled face as they continued to move forward.

Li Wei wanted to respond, but Elva was a step ahead of him.

"If we directly fight monsters now, we don't know if other monsters will be attracted here too, and the fight may go longer. We will have less chance to find a good place to camp if we do that, and if we don't find a good one, we will get attacked by the monsters who come out at night," she explained doing her favourite thing.

Li Xin nodded with understanding. She didn't read books like Li Wei in seconds, so she doesn't have much knowledge about the monsters here.

Li Wei led his party forward, avoiding the monsters silently and finally arrived at the place he wanted.

"It's really a great place," he murmured, looking at the mountains in front of him. They were filled with greenery and trees, while some small animals ran around on it.

"There are many places that are more beautiful than this, but it's just our levels are too low to go there," Alice said with a sigh.

She was the oldest one among them but couldn't do anything when it came to her family stopping her from leveling up before she reached a certain age that her family was following for years.

Li Wei nodded, agreeing with her.

"We should find a place first. There are only low-level monsters here who don't like the water, so we will not encounter many monsters here, but be careful," he warned them before leading them to search for a place to camp.

Everyone started to search for a good location so they would not encounter any monsters at night.

Olivia, who was also searching with them, came to a sudden stop and looked in front of her. It was a big tree, and the trunk was big as a small house.

The trunk was covered by thick vines, but it still failed to hide the violet glaring eyes that were looking coldly at her.

Li Wei, who was searching for a good place, was also keeping an eye on everyone just in case. So when he noticed Olivia stopping suddenly, he didn't hesitate and used Analyse Eye.

His eyes narrowed upon seeing the skill name and level. The snake wouldn't harm her, but his poison can, especially since its level is almost the same as hers.

He didn't know how the hell the snake got here, but he didn't care. "Be careful!" he shouted, alerting everyone.

Olivia, who was standing there, suddenly felt a crisis, but she wasn't a warrior, and her reactions were slow. The moment she thought to dodge, the snake, which was lying in ambush, attacked her.

*Hiss* With a hiss, the snake opened its mouth that was big enough to swallow a horse.

"Scared Ward." With no choice but to outrun the snake, Olivia shouted, creating a shield around her.

*Shatter* But before the shield could form, it was destroyed by the snake's mouth, which was only few metres away from her.

'Am I going to die here?' Olivia thought with depression.

Even though she has a debt, she didn't give up and tried to think of ways but she didn't show it to others, or they might laugh at her because it was almost impossible to pay the debt amount she has.

Olivia showed a unwilling expression, 'I don't have any reasons to become stronger, but I still didn't give up thinking one day I will be able to do what I want, but... it seems even the gods don't want me to live,' her life flashed before her eyes, lips trembling and eyes becoming wet, she lost all the hope.

"Frost Nova." But suddenly, she heard a shout, and the snake was hit by a terrifying snow blast, backing away from her.

*Hisss!* The snake screamed angrily as the snow did a little effect on it. With hissing, it once again attacked Olivia.

"Huh?," Olivia became a little stunned because she suddenly felt someone hugging her from behind.

"Shadow Step," she heard the voice of Li Wei ringing into her ears clearly.

The scenery around her changed, and she appeared just beside Li Xin and other party members without any harm.

She looked at them, who wore a face of worry, and then turned her gaze behind at Li Wei, who was still holding her waist, making her feel the warmth of his hands.

"Are you okay?" his voice sounded again with a look of concern in it.

Looking at him, Olivia nodded hurriedly. "I am all right," she replied, not knowing her eyes were glistening with tears.

Li Wei nodded. "Okay, be careful. It's a dungeon boss. I will fight with it," he said and disappeared.

He also saw her eyes were wet, but he just thought she was scared.

"Olivia, are you alright?" Li Xin asked while Elva and Alice also looked at her with same question.

Olivia nodded, adjusting her emotions. "I am all right," she said, her voice becoming a little softer.

Li Xin heaved a sigh of relief, knowing she was alright, and turned towards Li Wei, who was about to fight the snake.

"Fireball." Li Wei directly attacked with long-range attacks; he didn't dare to get too close because of its poison.

'I should upgrade my Cure Poison skills later,' he thought attacking again.

*Boom* *Hiss* The snake hissed in pain when it was hit by a fireball, suddenly it made a unbelievable move, dumbfounding everyone.

Li Wei looked ahead, his mouth twitching. "It escaped," he murmured with a difficult face.

Li Xin and the other girls were also shocked; they never thought the snake was too cowardly. They hurriedly approached Li Wei and looked at the big tree where a cave appeared and the snake escaped inside.

"Brother, what should we do?" Li Xin asked. She didn't know what level it was, but it was probably a high level that could threaten Olivia and not to mention them, even he was avoiding to fight closely with it.

Li Wei was just about to answer, when he and his party suddenly received a quest, making them dumbfounded again.
