After finishing his chat with He Yingxue, Xin Zhongze continued to look at Biqi Cave, which was still pitch black.
After thinking for a moment, Xin Zhongze condensed a Fireball and quickly threw it into the cave.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the Fireball streaked through the cave, flew over twenty meters, hit the cave wall, and began to burn.
Relying on the light from the Fireball, Xin Zhongze also clearly saw the situation inside the cave.
“Hmm!”
Xin Zhongze was surprised; less than thirty meters into the cave entrance, there was a monster resembling a skeleton.
Seeing this, Xin Zhongze quickly stepped into the cave.
Just as the Fireball was about to extinguish after four seconds, Xin Zhongze cast another Fireball.
After Xin Zhongze leveled up to 12, he once again put all 5 free attribute points into mental power.
So now, the range he could control Fireball was already 30 meters.
As the Fireball was cast, the next moment, a Fireball shot out and quickly hit the skeleton-like monster within thirty meters.
【Skeleton: Undead monster, Level 18, HP 2600, Attack 43, Physical Defense 31, Magic Defense 29, Agility 24..., Skill: Ghost Claw (releases skill to quickly claw at target, dealing 4 times physical damage...)】
-115.
-109.
-117.
-106.
One Fireball directly dealt over four hundred magic damage to the Level 18 Skeleton monster.
Clack clack!
The Skeleton monster, having been attacked, quickly ran towards Xin Zhongze.
Whoosh! The next moment, Xin Zhongze threw out another Fireball.
The casting time for Fireball was an average of two seconds per shot, so by the time the Skeleton monster approached him, he had already cast three Fireballs.
While casting Fireball, Xin Zhongze also quickly retreated towards the cave entrance.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
By the time the Skeleton monster chased Xin Zhongze to the cave entrance, Xin Zhongze had already cast 6 Fireballs.
At this point, the monster's HP was only a few tens of points left.
Stab!
The ebony sword in Xin Zhongze's hand thrust forward, directly piercing the Skeleton monster's head.
-43.
As Xin Zhongze delivered the final stab, the Skeleton monster instantly fell.
Just as the Skeleton monster fell, a bubble appeared in front of Xin Zhongze.
Xin Zhongze quickly picked it up.
To Xin Zhongze's surprise, after picking up the items dropped by the monster, he found that, in addition to a warrior weapon called Eight Desolations, it also dropped 1 bottle of gold injury medicine (medium) and 2 bottles of magic potion (medium).
What Xin Zhongze valued most was the magic potion.
He couldn't return to the city to buy magic potions right now, so he didn't expect to get magic potions from killing monsters in Biqi Cave.
magic potion (medium) could restore 40 mana within ten seconds, and two bottles could restore 80 points.
80 mana was enough for him to cast 2nd-level Fireball 16 times.
Without hesitation, Xin Zhongze directly drank a bottle of magic potion, and after his mana had mostly recovered, he directly threw a Fireball into the cave, illuminating the darkness inside.
At the same time, he also quickly ran forward.
After two Fireballs, he had already entered more than fifty meters into the cave, reaching a corner.
Whoosh!
Another Fireball was thrown out.
“Hiss!”
The next moment, Xin Zhongze gasped.
Because under the illumination of the Fireball, he saw a large group of monsters, which instantly made his scalp tingle.
Chirp chirp!
Crunch crunch...
Just as Xin Zhongze discovered the monsters, the monsters also discovered Xin Zhongze.
Then, countless monsters quickly rushed towards Xin Zhongze.
Seeing this, Xin Zhongze didn't hesitate at all and immediately ran.
Fortunately, when running out of the cave, there was light scattering in from outside, so Xin Zhongze could see the cave entrance without having to cast Fireball.
In a few seconds, Xin Zhongze rushed out of the cave.
Fortunately, after Xin Zhongze rushed out of the cave, the monsters behind him did not follow him out.
It was as if they lost their target as soon as Xin Zhongze left the cave.
At this moment, near the cave entrance, more than thirty monsters were gathered.
These monsters were mainly Devil Bats, Devil Scorpions, and Skeleton monsters.
Seeing that the monsters dared not leave the cave, Xin Zhongze immediately had an idea.
Since these monsters couldn't leave the cave, he could just throw Fireballs into the cave from outside to kill them.
He acted on his thought.
Whoosh!
A Fireball was quickly thrown out and directly hit a Level 16 Devil Bat.
This was a monster resembling a bat, but it couldn't fly quickly, yet its agility was frighteningly high, reaching 32.
From the observed information, Xin Zhongze knew that this was a magic-wielding monster; it could spit out a corrosive acid that dealt high damage, but its attack range was not very far, less than ten meters.
Just as Xin Zhongze hit this Devil Bat, the Devil Bat immediately let out an angry shriek, and in a blink of an eye, it rushed out of the cave and charged towards Xin Zhongze.
Xin Zhongze was startled at first upon seeing this, but soon, he used his 40 agility to open up distance, not allowing it to get within ten meters.
At the same time, Xin Zhongze's Fireballs accurately hit the Devil Bat one after another.
Under Xin Zhongze's Fireball attacks, the Devil Bat lasted less than twenty seconds before collapsing dead on the ground.
After killing the Devil Bat, Xin Zhongze not only gained 2 experience points but also obtained a bottle of gold injury medicine and a bottle of magic potion.
In addition to that, of course, there were copper coins.
As long as a player killed a monster, the copper coins would directly appear as a numerical value on the panel, without needing to be picked up.
From leaving Bichi City and killing monsters until now, Xin Zhongze had gained almost three thousand copper coins.
The reason it was so little was mainly that Xin Zhongze had been killing monsters above his level, so the number of monsters killed was not very high.
-105.
-111.
...
At the entrance of Biqi Cave, Xin Zhongze continuously lured monsters out of the cave to kill them.
Killing Level 18 monsters allowed Xin Zhongze to gain 64 experience points.
Killing Level 17 monsters allowed Xin Zhongze to gain 32 experience points.
Even killing Level 16 monsters could yield 16 experience points.
This was the terrifying experience reward for killing monsters above one's level.
Soon, over a dozen monsters were wiped out, which directly gave Xin Zhongze over five hundred experience points.
According to this situation, he only needed to kill one more wave of monsters to level up from 12 to 13.
Killing monsters above one's level was truly terrifying.
Moreover, after killing this group of monsters, Xin Zhongze not only gained a lot of experience but also obtained some equipment that was very useful to him.
【sea soul: Requires Level 15, Attack 3-10, Magic Attack 1-2, Durability 12, Weight 12.】
This equipment was exactly what Xin Zhongze could use; he could use it after reaching Level 15.
Of course, if he wanted to equip it, he would need to gather four or five more pieces first, as that would be equivalent to 10 ebony swords.
Besides the sea soul for mages, Xin Zhongze also obtained equipment for Taoists.
【Half Moon: Requires Level 15, Attack 5-10, Magic 0-1, Taoist Skill 1-1】.
This Half Moon could be given to Xu Muyan later.
But there was no rush, as he should be able to get more later, so Xin Zhongze currently discarded all equipment except for mage equipment.
