11 - I Killed Them All And Then Came Out
The tree branch belongs to a large tree of about three meters in height.
Lin Moyu's fingertip shimmered, releasing the Detection skill.
Detection is a skill that everyone can perform, and it can be used to obtain some basic information.
[Bullwhip Tree]
[Level: 8]
[Introduction: is usually in dormant state; will attack nearby living creatures.]
Why weren't the Skeletal Warriors attacked when they ran past it?
The Skeletal Warriors are not living creatures and thus don't have the breath of life.
Therefore, they won't trigger the Bullwhip Tree to attack.
As for Lin Moyu, the Bullwhip Tree attacked him.
The Bullwhip Tree continued to launch attacks against Lin Moyu.
Although it won't cause him any damage, but Lin Moyu is not a fool. There's no way he will just stand there and let himself be attacked.
He quickly retreated by several dozens of meters, leaving the Bullwhip Tree's range.
The Bullwhip Tree can't change locations. As such, after Lin Moyu retreated, it stopped its attacks.
Its long branches kept flailing, as if it were on guard.
"That's quite ingenious."
Lin Moyu realized that the dungeon's designer put a lot of thought into it.
From significantly weakened low-level monsters to level-8 monsters with the same strength as monsters in the outside world.
And the level 8 monsters that were selected are plant-type monsters that can launch surprise attacks yet cannot move.
The Bullwhip Tree possesses a surprise attack property, allowing novice class users to experience the danger of the wilderness in advance.
The Bullwhip Tree can't move and thus can't chase class users.
If they are in danger, novice class users can calmly retreat and leave its range.
And the range of the Bullwhip Tree is the same as that of some long-range classes.
This also eliminates the possibility of long-range class users taking a shortcut.
This design allows novices to engage in safe combat against true level 8 monsters.
The entire novice dungeon exudes a protective and nurturing sense.
It allows novices to adapt to actual combat and grow while minimizing casualties as much as possible.
The Skeletal Warriors, accompanied by eerie clicking sounds, ran back.
The 16 Skeletal Warriors positioned themselves around Lin Moyu as if guards.
Lin Moyu willed, and a Skeletal Warrior rushed toward the Bullwhip Tree.
When faced with a non-living creature like the Skeletal Warrior, the Bullwhip Tree didn't show any reaction.
But when the Skeletal Warrior struck it with its blade, the Bullwhip Tree started a counterattack.
Huge branches whipped the Skeletal Warrior, and the sounds of metal striking metal rose.
The Bullwhip Tree's attack speed is very fast. It flailed its branches, striking the Skeletal Warrior three or four times per second.
But the Skeletal Warrior's attributes are extremely high. With its physique having reached 550 points, its health and defense are very high.
On the places where the Skeletal Warrior was hit, some small cracks opened, but then quickly closed.
"Oh? It wasn't killed in an instant!"
Lin Moyu was astonished.
Monsters from level 1 to level 7 were all killed in a single blade strike. But when it comes to the level 8 monster, the situation has changed.
The Skeletal Warrior failed to kill the target in an instant for the first time.
"So this is how strong monsters in the wilderness are? Let's see how many blade strikes you can withstand."
One, two, three.
After the fourth blade strike, the Bullwhip Tree stopped all action.
[Killed level 8 Bullwhip Tree, EXP +160]
According to the notification, the level 8 Bullwhip Tree gave much more EXP than the level 7 Brown Bears.
Lin Moyu calculated and realized that killing level 7 monsters is more cost-effective.
After all, one blade strike will provide 70 points of EXP.
The level 8 Bullwhip Tree, on the other hand, requires four blade strikes, while only providing 160 points of EXP.
It seems a lot. But in fact, solely in terms of blade strikes, it is less cost-effective.
However, the time spent searching for monsters also has to be taken into account.
If a lot of time is wasted on searching monsters, then hunting low-level monsters won't be worthwhile.
In the forest in front of Lin Moyu, most trees are level 8 Bullwhip Trees.
As long as he is a little careful, he can distinguish the Bullwhip Trees from ordinary trees.
There is no need to waste time searching for monsters here.
As many as hundreds can be seen with the naked eye.
This greatly improves efficiency.
This is basically a training ground specially set up for him.
Lin Moyu couldn't help but feel agitated at this time.
He willed, and the Skeletal Warriors immediately scattered and rushed into the forest.
The blades in their hands struck Bullwhip Trees.
Four blade strikes equals a kill, pretty straightforward.
His EXP once again soared.
For others, after level 5, their leveling speed is significantly reduced. As for Lin Moyu, his leveling speed rather became faster.
He previously thought it would take over an hour for him to level up.
But after only 50 minutes, Lin Moyu reached level 6.
Outside the dungeon, the sky gradually darkened.
At this time, the clock struck 7:00 pm.
It has been a full 10 hours since the students entered the dungeon at 9:00 am.
Lu Yun and the other principals, as well as Xia Dongyang, still remained seated.
They have been drinking tea the whole day, and when it was mealtime, they had food brought.
The principals do this every year. On the first day the students enter the novice dungeon, they will guard outside the dungeon.
Although accidents rarely occur, but there are no guarantees.
Because this is real combat, injuries are inevitable. And there have also been cases where students died in the novice dungeon.
Xia Dongyang didn't leave either. Xia Xue is in the dungeon, and he, as her father, felt uneasy.
He missed his daughter's class awakening ceremony. He doesn't want to miss her first dungeon raid, as well.
All of a sudden, the dungeon's entrance emitted brilliant light. Everyone looked up at the dungeon's entrance at the same time.
"Someone is coming out."
"It's not time yet. Could it be an accident?"
The dungeon has two exits. One is located at the deepest part of the dungeon, and can be seen after going through the forest guarded by level 8 monsters.
The other one is the entrance of the dungeon.
Lin Moyu walked out of the light.
Lu Yun hurriedly walked over, "Moyu, how did you get out?"
Lin Moyu replied in a low voice, "I killed them all and then came out."
I killed them all and then came out.
This statement made Lu Yun's brain short circuit for a moment.
Lin Moyu spoke very calmly, his face showing no emotion.
In the next moment, Lu Yun saw Lin Moyu's level.
[Lin Moyu, Necromancer, level 7]
