Level Up in Earth Evolution

Li Wei took out the sauce that he brought with him. "Here, take this sauce and grab it however you want; there is more, so don't worry about not having enough," he said, looking at the party.

Alice nodded first and directly grabbed the meat and sauce. "It looks delicious, so I will try it first," she said with her watering mouth and took a bite of the grilled meat.

"Umm, it's Good!" she exclaimed with wide eyes.

Li Wei shook his head at her. "You both should take too," he said, looking at Elva and Olivia while he prepared for Li Xin personally. "Here you go," he said with a smile.

Li Xin took the dish from his hands and took a bite of grilled meat. "It's good," she said with surprise, knowing his terrible cooking.

Li Wei nodded, and he too tried it. He too was surprised, 'It's really good, but there is still a difference from the shop owner and me; maybe it's because of the lack of knowledge,' he thought, he can learn the skills but it doesn't mean he can also learn their experience.

Elva and Olivia were also surprised at him, they never thought that his cooking was good almost reaching the level of shop.

After having dinner, they all returned to the cave where they prepared two tents inside it.

"Everyone should be alert just in case," Li Wei reminded them. No one was on watch because there was no need at low-level areas, and not to mention they were in a level 15 area.

Alice and Elva nodded, entering one of the tents, while Li Wei, Li Xin, and Olivia entered another. The tents were big, so it was not much of a problem.

"Are you really okay with this?" Li Wei asked, looking at Olivia. He was going to prepare one more tent for her, but she rejected it, saying it would only bring extra work.

Olivia shook her head. "It will only waste more time if you set up a tent for me alone, and I don't have any problems staying with both of you," she replied and made her way towards the bed.

Li Wei nodded. "Then we should rest," he said, and with Li Xin, he laid down on another folding bed just a little away from Olivia.

Li Xin, who was beside him, observed Olivia. "Brother, don't you feel Olivia became a little softer?" she whispered, noticing the change in her.

Li Wei nodded. "Yes, it might be because of what happened today, but she recovered faster than I thought. It must be because of her past," he answered, thinking of what she must have gone through.

He too noticed her change but didn't think too much because everyone has privacy and, more importantly, she is a girl so it was better to left some things untouched.

Li Wei talked with Li Xin for some time until she slept and he too closed his eyes to sleep. With his level at 33, he didn't worry about the monsters coming at night.

The night passed without any incidents, and the next morning they all got ready with Li Wei using purification on them and preparing breakfast.

Li Wei looked at his party that was ready. "Let's go; we should..." he wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by a loud explosion.

*Booooom!!*

A loud explosion happened at the entrance of the dungeon they discovered yesterday. The explosion covered the nearby area, throwing rocks and sand.

Li Wei and his party were out of the explosion area, but they still felt tremors of ground, they were stunned to see the explosion happing when a sudden quest notification rang.

–––

[Ding, Dungeon Break Quest: Eliminate all the monsters that escaped the dungeon.

Monsters Eliminated: 0/3

Level: 20 | Difficulty: E

Rewards: Dungeon Clear Reward, 100,000 coins]

–––

"Dungeon Break," Li Wei frowned, looking at the quest. "Why did the dungeon break happen now?" he murmured with dissatisfaction.

The dungeon error happens because powerful monsters kill low-level monsters to level themselves up. But dungeon break is different; it happens because of various reasons.

Whenever a dungeon break happens, the boss monsters and normal monsters can escape from the dungeons with their buffs. They will go outside to hunt, killing anyone in their way.

*Rawww* *Hisss* *Roarr*

Suddenly, the roars of the dungeon boss who escaped sounded.

"All of you go hide inside the cave," Li Wei said in a hurry. He can fight with them, but the girls were too low level.

If the dungeon boss attacked them suddenly, he couldn't guarantee to save them, because he leveled up too fast and couldn't control his strength.

"Brother, be careful," Li Xin said with concern. She knew he was high level but was still worried about him, nevertheless she didn't delay and returned inside the cave because it was the only choice. If they started to go around, they would be noticed by the dungeon boss.

Elva, Alice, and Olivia too asked him to be careful and hid inside the cave. Li Wei was surprised to hear it from Olivia but nodded at her asking them to hide.

Seeing them hiding inside the cave, Li Wei didn't hesitate and used the Shadow Step to appear at a different place.

'I hope the dungeon isn't destroyed,' he thought with irritation.

He was hoping to get the inheritance of the sage, but the dungeon break sometimes destroys the dungeons, and it will be no good if it really happened.

He looked at the three Monsters. One was the green snake with violet eyes. The second one was a wolf, and the last one was a goblin, all were the size of a big truck.

'The wolf and goblin aren't a problem for me, but the poison of the snake isn't something I could take lightly,' Li Wei thought, looking at their status.

Even though he won't die with the poison of the snake, it could lead to his response being slow. He didn't hesitate and directly raised his cure poison skill to level 20.

"It took 100,000 coins to upgrade the basic skill to advance level; it means I need more money in the future if I want to upgrade the skills of Li Xin and others," he murmured with a bitter expression and turned his gaze towards the monsters which were glaring at each other.

'Hmm, looks like they aren't on good terms with each other,' Li Wei thought.

'Anyway, I should kill them first before they cause a big commotion and attract others,' he thought and once again used the Shadow Step.

Li Wei directly appeared in front of the three monsters. "Frost Nova," "Swordsmanship," he attacked, freezing them first and slashed towards the wolf with a sword.

*Bang* the sword hit the wolf with a bang, sending it flying backward.

*Hisss* *Gwaaa* *awooo* the goblin and snake roared with anger not affected by the skills because they held all stats buff, while the wolf whinnied painfully landing on the ground attracting their attention.

"Divine Smite, Divine Protection," Li Wei chanted once again, creating a shield around him and merging two skills in the sword.

*Hisss* the snake hissed in fear when it saw the wolf lying painfully, he decided to run again knowing it couldn't defeat him.

"Damn, you still have guts to run. Footwork," Li Wei didn't hesitate and attacked with a speed not giving a chance to escape it.

*Bang* the snake was also sent flying, him ruthlessly landing beside the pitiful wolf.

"It's really hard to control the strength," Li Wei murmured with a frown.

He was controlling his strength to not harm their bodies because they will sell for a lot, especially since they are dungeon bosses but it was still not easy.

"I have to find a way to control my strength later or I have to level up slowly," he muttered with dissatisfaction.

If one levels up too fast, they will not be able to control their strength and might cause damage to themselves and others. That's why the people in this world don't power level up their children.

"It's really frustrating; I have the bonus, but I can't level up faster," he said with irritation and turned towards the goblin who was looking at him with fear.

The goblin looked at the wolf and snake who were still screaming with a terrified gaze. He backed out holding the club in his hand.

*Gwa gwa gwa* it tried to say something.

"Slash," however, Li Wei ignored it and attacked once again.

*Bang*

*ghwaa* the goblin roared with pain and was sent flying beside the wolf and snake.

*Hissss* suddenly, the snake, which was wiggling around in pain, hissed angrily towards Li Wei, spitting dark violet poison at him.

"Shadow Step," Li Wei directly dodged it, appearing a distance away.

*Sizzle*

He looked at the place he was. The poison burned the grass around it, and even the soil turned black.

"It was the right choice to avoid it," Li Wei thought. The poison of monsters is more destructive than their levels. Even though he has a high-level cure poison skill, he didn't want to taste how it feels to get poisoned.

"Anyway, I should finish them first," Li Wei said and directly attacked with the back of the sword.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

*hissss* *Awoo* *rawaaa*

Li Wei didn't spare and ruthlessly beat them. "I really hope they could give me money with their whole bodies unharmed," he murmured and continued.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

*Hiss* *Awoo* *rawaa*

Inside the cave, all girls heard the sounds of beating and monsters screaming.

Alice looked outside the cave with curiosity. "Should we go out?" she asked.

Elva shook her head. "We should wait for his call. If not, we will hold him back," she replied, denying her.

Li Xin was also curious, and she wanted to ask him with a chat function, but she refrained from doing afraid of him getting distracted if he was fighting them.
