"Find the way, kill monsters."
With a thought, four teams of Skeletons quickly began exploring in four directions.
Click, click, click...
The faint sound of bones colliding was particularly noticeable in the silent Mist Forest.
After leveling up, the Skeletons' four-dimensional attributes increased significantly again.
Their agility attribute, as high as 215 points, made them run like the wind.
Watching their bones jiggle up and down as they ran, Su Mubai was afraid these guys would shake themselves apart.
Fortunately, this didn't happen. In a digitized world, as long as there's one drop of blood left, they are at full combat power!
The four teams of Skeletons vanished from sight in the blink of an eye, and the surrounding mist began to churn.
Su Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing the Skeletons' presence in his mind.
Soon, a piece of information came to his mind.
Within a hundred meters, he could freely control the summoned Undead creatures.
Once they exceeded this range, the connection would be broken.
Su Mubai was unsure how to improve this point.
However, he guessed that Ordinary Undead Mages at this stage definitely didn't have such a far control range.
Whether it was the exclusive hidden profession Death Overlord or more information about the Ten Thousand Realms Game, he currently knew very little.
The Myriad Realms is much larger than Blue Star.
The Newbie Village is merely the starting point.
The future Scourge Legion will begin its growth from the hell-level Mist Forest.
"Found it!"
A feedback from a Skeleton came to his mind, and Su Mubai's eyes lit up. He directed all Skeletons to head north.
As he approached, the system's notification sound came.
"Killed an 8-level elite monster 'Mist Treant', gained an additional 50% over-level bonus, experience value +60 points."
"Is the experience value of elite monsters five times that of Ordinary monsters?"
Watching his experience bar increase from 0% to 2%, Su Mubai nodded with satisfaction.
It only takes 50 monsters to level up, which shouldn't take too long.
However, the experience required for leveling up was indeed increasing.
When Su Mubai arrived at the battle location, he only saw two sections of the Treant's corpse; the Skeletons had already continued their exploration.
With the Life Sharing passive, he didn't need to specifically leave Skeletons to protect himself.
Bending down to pick up the three copper coins that dropped, Su Mubai leisurely admired the scenery and continued deeper into the Mist Forest.
Having found the right direction, he naturally encountered more and more monsters.
"Killed an 8-level elite monster 'Mist Treant', gained an additional 50% over-level bonus, experience value +60 points."
"Killed an 8-level elite monster 'Mist Tree Boa', gained an additional 50% over-level bonus, experience value +60 points."
...
Almost every ten seconds, Su Mubai's experience value would jump.
This was also because the Mist Forest was too large, and the monster distribution was not dense enough.
He finally caught up with the main force and saw the elite monster's panel.
"Mist Treant"
"Level 8"
"Elite"
"Health: 3600/3600"
"Attack Power: 74"
"Physical Defense: 60"
"Magic Defense: 40"
"Skill: Entangle"
(Be careful of every tree beside you; they might attack you at any time.)
"Mist Tree Boa"
"Level 8"
"Elite"
"Health: 3000/3000"
"Attack Power: 108"
"Physical Defense: 52"
"Magic Defense: 30"
"Skill: Constrict"
(I heard Mist Tree Boas like to play binding games; I wonder if you can handle it.)
Mist Forest is a level five dungeon, and the Hell difficulty increased the monsters' level by 3, and all of them were elite-level existences.
The health of these elite monsters even exceeded that of the Skeletons Su Mubai summoned.
However, their four-dimensional attributes were far inferior.
Although the Skeletons' coordination wasn't perfect, there was no great difficulty under their encirclement.
Locking his gaze on a Mist Tree Boa, Su Mubai waved his bone staff and silently chanted a magic incantation.
Two seconds later, a wisp of faint blue flame shot out, instantly merging into the Mist Tree Boa's body.
"Scorching"
-98, -101...
Every second, a damage number of around 100 would pop up above the Tree Boa's head.
After reaching level three, Su Mubai's spell strength had reached 156 points.
Of this, 46 points of spirit, under the Death Overlord profession's triple bonus, accounted for the vast majority.
The other 18 points came from the Death Scripture and the bone staff.
Equipment in the Ten Thousand Realms Game advances every five levels, so the Death Scripture's attributes will only change at level five.
In five seconds, Scorching dealt over 500 magic damage to the Mist Tree Boa.
While considerable for an Ordinary player, it was far too little compared to the output of twenty Skeletons.
However, Su Mubai didn't care and continued to use Scorching to increase his output.
Although he didn't have any mana potions, with his current spirit attribute, he could recover 46 mana points every five seconds during combat.
This value was also three times that of an Ordinary Undead Mage.
"Killed an 8-level elite monster 'Mist Tree Boa', gained an additional 50% over-level bonus, experience value +60 points."
Another system notification sounded, and Su Mubai suddenly smiled slightly.
Something dropped!
The drop rate in the Hell difficulty dungeon was indeed much better than outside; he had only killed a dozen monsters and already obtained a piece of equipment.
And it was a Black Iron grade equipment!
"Tree Boa Belt"
Belt Leather Armor
Level 5
Black Iron Grade
Durability 30/30
Armor +9
Constitution +2
(Imagine, a giant python wrapped around your waist.)
"Too bad it's leather armor."
Looking at the equipment description, Su Mubai's mouth twitched.
He wondered what kind of twisted humor the Ten Thousand Realms Game had; every piece of equipment had such a soul-touching description.
Equipment in the game is divided into Cloth Armor, Leather Armor, Mail Armor, and Plate Armor.
Generally, low-level equipment only has level requirements, but each profession can only wear the corresponding armor type.
The Death Overlord evolved from the Undead Mage, so it is also a Cloth Armor profession.
"Even if I can't use it, at least it can be sold for money."
With a thought, Su Mubai directly activated Calamity on the Tree Boa Belt.
"You have obtained the Bronze grade equipment 'Tree Boa Belt'."
The name didn't change, but all its attributes improved.
In comparison, Bronze equipment of the same level was about 50% stronger than Black Iron equipment.
However, it still only added one attribute.
Casually tossing it into his backpack, Su Mubai continued to help the Skeletons clear monsters.
What he wanted most wasn't equipment, but skill books.
As the Newbie Village's first dungeon, Mist Forest was a place for players to farm equipment and skill books.
The drop rate on Hell difficulty was naturally much higher. When the golden light flashed, Su Mubai had already obtained three pieces of equipment and two skill books.
"Congratulations, player 'Bai Ye', your level has increased to 4. Four-dimensional attributes +1, skill points +1, free attribute points +15."
"You have obtained the Black Iron grade equipment 'Wooden bone staff'."
"You have obtained the Black Iron grade equipment 'Snake Fang Dagger'."
"You have obtained the Black Iron grade equipment 'Tree Boa Leather Armor'."
"You have obtained the E-grade skill book 'Entangle'."
"You have obtained the E-grade skill book 'Constrict'."
Of the five items, only the Wooden bone staff could be used by Su Mubai after level five.
After using Calamity to Promote all the equipment and skill books by one tier, Su Mubai directly threw them into his backpack.
When this dungeon run was over, other players should also start running dungeons, which would be a good time to sell to them.
However, Su Mubai was a little worried that other players wouldn't have money. He had a deep understanding of the Ten Thousand Realms Game's drop rate.
Even with his strength, his total assets were currently less than three silver coins...
"For the first dungeon clear, shouldn't the party players pool their money?"
Su Mubai shook his head and continued to command the Skeletons to advance deeper into the Mist Forest.
After leveling up, the Skeletons' four-dimensional attributes reached 292 points, and their monster-clearing speed increased again.
If it weren't for the low monster density in the Mist Forest, Su Mubai's leveling speed could be even faster.
When Su Mubai found the first BOSS, his level finally reached five.
During this period, his gains were naturally considerable.
Including the double layer cloth shoes and the Wooden bone staff, he had a total of five usable equipment pieces.
In addition, there was also an Undead Mage skill book.
However, it was this low-level skill that made his already abnormal strength increase several times over!
