Chapter 8
On the vast grassland, a breeze blew from time to time.
When a large patch of grass was slightly lowered by the wind, the figures of some small monsters could be vaguely seen.
The monsters in the novice dungeon were all below Level 10. The monsters in each level were in different areas.
According to the level of the monsters, Level 1 to 10 were divided into four areas. The first nine levels were divided into three areas, and the last area was a Level 10 Boss.
However, no one had been able to kill the Boss in so many years.
Zhang Xuan was currently in a Level 1-3 novice dungeon area. Most of the monsters wouldn’t take the initiative to attack.
Moreover, there would be instructors monitoring and protecting the entire Level 1 to 3 area to prevent any accidents from happening to the students.
Moreover, for safety reasons, if one wanted to enter a higher-level area, they had to reach the corresponding level.
With the protection of the academy and such a plain environment, as a novice dungeon, it was most suitable for newbies to practice how to fight.
After all, the attack power of those Level 1 monsters was pitifully low, and they didn’t have any fancy skills.
However, there were also disadvantages. It was really not easy to find monsters on such a large plain.
Summoning a prepared Skeleton Warrior, Zhang Xuan gave an order in his heart.
“Kill the demonic creatures in the nearby area.”
Swoosh!
Speaking of which, this was also Zhang Xuan’s first time in actual combat. He still had to be familiar with the control of the Skeleton Warrior.
Upon receiving the order, the Skeleton Warrior ran forward. In the blink of an eye, it had run more than 10 meters!
“This speed should be comparable to some assassins, right?”
The Skeleton Warrior quickly locked onto a target.
A rabbit covered in long fur was hiding in a patch of grass. It wasn’t eating grass, but some kind of creature. The sharp teeth in its mouth also explained its diet.
However, it didn’t realize that the Death God’s saber was already raised above its head.
[Monster Long Haired Rabbit (Level 1)]
[Ding! Level 1 Long Haired Rabbit killed. Experience +10]
Zhang Xuan had just received the message from the Skeleton Warrior when he received a kill notification.
Before the Level 1 Long Haired Rabbit could react, it was instantly killed by the Skeleton Warrior!
The plain area of the novice dungeon wasn’t small. Although the Long Haired Rabbit was a Level 1 monster, with its small size and speed, it was a little difficult for ordinary professionals to kill it.
However, in front of a Skeleton Warrior with three digits of agility, this advantage could be said to be insignificant.
However, one shouldn’t think that the creatures in this world were as harmless as those in the ordinary world.
When the game world descended and humans obtained various professions, the originally non-aggressive animals also evolved greatly under the influence.
This Long Haired Rabbit was instantly killed because the skeleton’s value was too overwhelming.
Otherwise, just that mouthful of sharp teeth would be enough for an ordinary support to suffer.
Zhang Xuan opened the interface. His experience had increased by 1%.
In other words, with his current level, he could level up by killing 100 Level 1 Long Haired Rabbits.
The Skeleton Warrior didn’t stop and continued to search for its next target.
From the looks of it, it was clearly a waste of talent for the Skeleton Warriors to stay here and kill monsters. Therefore, Zhang Xuan released four more Skeleton Warriors.
Then, the four Skeleton Warriors charged in the other four directions with their sabers.
[Ding! Level 1 Long Haired Rabbit killed. Experience +10]
[Ding! Level 1 Long Haired Rabbit killed. Experience +10]
[Ding! Level 2 Hedgehog Rat killed. Experience +10]
…
Continuous system notifications sounded. A Skeleton Warrior had encountered a Level 2 monster, a rat covered in sharp needles.
[Level 2 Hedgehog Rat]
There was a huge difference between a Level 2 monster and a Level 1 monster. It had a certain warning range and would actively attack nearby targets. In terms of skills, it also had an additional impact and roll.
In the novice dungeon stage, very few people were willing to provoke the Hedgehog Rats.
This was because not only would this thing cause blood loss that was troublesome for newbies, but it would also be difficult to deal with its spiked shell.
However, there was a saying that went, “Strength makes the brick fly.”
In front of the Skeleton Warriors, who had the absolute numerical advantage, the Level 2 Hedgehog Rats were like the Level 1 Long Haired Rabbits. Killing them was as easy as cutting tofu.
Moreover, as time passed, the advantage of Skeleton Warriors not having endurance consumption slowly became apparent. Ordinary summoned creatures might have to rest after fighting for a while.
However, the Skeleton Warrior had no need for this at all!
Unless it was destroyed, it was almost impossible to injure the Skeleton Warrior except for the monsters in the third region.
Hence, in less than five minutes, Zhang Xuan’s experience had increased by 45%.
This efficiency was really good!
Moreover, as the Skeleton Warrior disappeared from his field of vision, Zhang Xuan was surprised to discover that he had obtained a blurry topographic map.
Through the terrain information provided by the five Skeleton Warriors, Zhang Xuan also discovered something. The range of the Skeleton Warriors’ battle was currently about 150 meters.
These five Skeleton Warriors were all within this range.
However, at this moment, he noticed the information sent back by one of the Skeleton Warriors because only its kill notification had a Level 2 monster.
The novice dungeon simulated the real environment outside, so they didn’t provide the students with a map. Moreover, every time they entered, the terrain of the next dungeon would change.
Therefore, one usually had to slowly explore the dungeon.
It would have been fine if he hadn’t discovered the Level 2 area before, but now that he had, Zhang Xuan naturally won’t continue to waste time in the Level 1 monster area.
Although it was only one level away, the experience points of the monsters had doubled!
After the order was given, the Skeleton Warriors in the other direction quickly approached the Level 2 monster area!
[Ding! Level 1 Long Haired Rabbit killed. Experience +10]
[Ding! Level 2 Gray Rat killed. Experience +20]
[Ding! Level 2 Forest Monkey killed. Experience +20]
…
As he killed his way forward, Zhang Xuan confirmed his guess through the continuous system notifications. This was the right direction!
Suddenly, Zhang Xuan’s body flickered and disappeared without a trace.
He welcomed his first upgrade!
