78 – Holy Land Of Level Grinding; Holy Land Of Materials
In Dungeon Hall, there are only two dungeons below level 20.
And they are Mutated Forest and Spider Nest.
Mutated Forest is a level 17 dungeon, and has the lowest requirement in Dungeon Hall. Its level requirement is between level 15 and level 19.
Spider Nest is a level 20 dungeon, and its level requirement is between level 18 and level 22.
Just by looking at these two dungeons, it can be seen that the academy has strict level restrictions for dungeons, forming a comprehensive mechanism for cultivating students.
As the students’ level rises and their combat experience becomes more abundant, this requirement will gradually be relaxed.
“Nightmare rank difficulty.”
After spending 10 points, Lin Moyu entered the dungeon.
Wind whistled through the cave, sounding like babies crying.
The wind blew in waves, and so the frightening sounds rose intermittently.
The cave is extremely dark, which greatly limited Lin Moyu’s sight.
A flame appeared in the palm of his hand.
Soul Blaze just stayed in the palm of Lin Moyu’s hand, used to illuminate the surroundings.
Since the fire isn’t strong, it could only illuminate a small area.
Lin Moyu roughly understood the dungeon’s environment.
Surrounded by rock walls, there is only one passage that can accommodate two people walking side by side, leading to who knows where.
The rock walls are covered with small holes. The smaller ones are only the size of a thumb, while the larger ones can fit a fist.
There are many spider threads above.
Hair-raising sounds of spiders crawling rise along with the sound of the wind.
As its name implies, Spider Nest is a dungeon filled with spiders.
A large number of Skeletal Warriors appeared, the dim soul fire in their eyes acting as torches, reflecting a large number of shadows.
The Skeletal Warriors rushed out along the passage.
The layout of Spider Nest is very complex and intricate.
The Skeletal Warriors dispersed.
A constantly expanding map appeared in Lin Moyu’s mind.
There are many caves in the dungeon, some with several exits.
The interconnected caves form a structure that is both reminiscent of a honeycomb and a maze.
The Skeletal Warriors kept dispersing and moving forward independently.
Soon, the Skeletal Warriors encountered monsters.
The two sides collided.
[Killed level 20 Scarlet Spider, EXP +9,000]
[Obtained spider thread x5]
[Killed level 19 Hairy Spider, EXP +8,000]
[Obtained spider thread x4]
Notifications popped up repeatedly. As the Skeletal Warriors entered the state of battle one after another, the map’s expansion slowed down.
There are swarms of monsters in the dungeon.
From an empirical perspective, these monsters can be classified as enhanced elite monsters.
The Skeletal Warriors were forced to fight every few steps.
The spiders often launched surprise attacks.
Lurking at the ceiling of the cave, the spiders will attack when prey passes by.
Lin Moyu advanced along a cleared path.
For the first time since he entered this dungeon, Lin Moyu appears to be cautious.
Suddenly, a faint sound rang in his ears.
In the dim light, spiders nearly as large as a fist crawled out from the surrounding rock walls.
In an instant, the surroundings were covered.
Hundreds of spiders surrounded Lin Moyu
[Small Spider]
[Level: 18]
[Strength: 200]
[Agility: 200]
[Spirit: 100]
[Physique: 200]
[Skills: None]
They are just ordinary monsters, even slightly weaker than other ordinary monsters of the same level.
However, there are just too many of them.
A large amount of ants can overwhelm an elephant.
Lin Moyu recalled the parties ranked in the top three of Spider Nest, and they all had at least two Mage-type class users.
Mages possess formidable AOE offensive skills, making them indispensable in this kind of situation.
“The same party has set the first record in Spider Nest and Mutated Forest.”
“The record for this dungeon seems to be 1 hour and 12 minutes.”
“And it has lasted for more than three years.”
Lin Moyu immersed himself in his thoughts, and the fire burning in his palm flew out.
The fire fell on a Small Spider.
With the twenty-fold amplification, Soul Blaze is enough to instantly kill ordinary monsters of the same level as him.
Moreover, the physique of the Small Spider is only 200 points, which is even weaker than that of ordinary level 18 monsters.
The Small Spider let out a miserable shriek, dying instantly.
The fire extinguished, and the small cave was submerged by endless darkness again.
Boom!
A violent explosion swept through the cave.
The deafening blare resounded throughout Spider Nest.
The nest rumbled and vibrated, waking up countless sleeping spiders.
Before the Skeletal Warriors could reach them, they had already crawled out.
Boom boom!
Another two rumbles sounded, as if the cave were about to collapse.
When light emanated from Lin Moyu’s palm again, there were no more Small Spiders left in the cave.
Lin Moyu was flooded by hundreds of notifications.
[Killed level 18 Small Spider, EXP +500]
[Killed level 18 Small Spider, EXP +500]
[Obtained spider thread x1]
[Killed level 18 Small Spider, EXP +500]
…
Although each Small Spider can only provide 500 EXP, but many a little makes a mickle.
20 Small Spiders provide more EXP than an enhanced elite monster.
Besides, at least 300 to 400 Small Spiders were killed just now.
This is equivalent to killing about 20 enhanced elite monsters of the same level in one go.
It was a huge boon!
Lin Moyu’s eyes lit up, revealing a rare happy expression.
He discovered that the caves where the Skeletal Warriors were located are crawling with Small Spiders.
The Small Spiders were drawn by the explosion just now.
“Holy land of EXP.”
Lin Moyu mused.
Then, his countenance changed slightly.
The Skeletal Warriors began to take damage.
The Skeletal Warriors were covered with Small Spiders.
The Small Spiders bit the Skeletal Warriors with their mouthparts.
Although the damage wasn’t high, yet the frequency was.
The health of the Skeletal Warriors slowly decreased.
A large amount of ants can overwhelm an elephant indeed.
When he awakened his class, Lin Moyu saw a vision where a swarm of Skeletal Warriors killed a Dragon. A similar thing is now occurring to the Skeletal Warriors in Spider Nest.
Lin Moyu’s first reaction was to retrieve the Skeletal Warriors.
He wanted to retrieve the Skeletal Warriors, but then he discovered that — due to the Small Spider crawling all over them — it was impossible.
The Skeletal Warriors have no AOE offensive skills. Whenever they brandished the large blades in their hands, they often would only cut down a single Small Spider.
If they were lucky, they would kill two or three.
This is a drop in the bucket.
“Come back!”
Lin Moyu willed, ordering the Skeletal Warrior to run back.
Even though the Skeletal Warriors can’t be retrieved, but they can run back.
If they stayed there, they would be whittled away by the Small Spiders.
The Skeletal Warriors ran back, covered in Small Spiders.
Behind them, there are massive amounts of spiders.
There are both Small Spiders and various enhanced elite spiders.
The Skeletal Warriors pushed ahead like bulldozers, cutting down a massive amount of monsters.
This is the first time they have run away so helter-skelter.
Lin Moyu’s realization that the Skeletal Warriors are overly specialized gradually deepened.
Although their attributes are high, but they also have significant drawbacks and limitations.
Lin Moyu can only hope that new skills will appear when he reaches level 20.
A Skeletal Warrior appeared in his line of sight.
Lin Moyu raised his palm.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
Boom!
Following the fierce explosion, the Small Spiders on the Skeletal Warrior were obliterated.
Skeletal Warriors returned one after another, following by the sound of explosions.
The entire Spider Nest shook, as if it would collapse at any moment.
As Lin Moyu used Corpse Explosion, his EXP soared like a rocket.
Inside Dungeon Hall.
A crowd waited outside Spider Nest.
“He won’t set a new record again, will he?”
“It’s hard to say. However, Spider Nest is a good dungeon.”
“If it weren’t for the fact that I have already exceeded level 22, I would really like to raid it a few more times.”
“That’s right. Spider Nest is a holy land of materials. You can earn a lot of money by raiding this dungeon.”
“In addition to money, you can also earn a lot of EXP. Although each Small Spider doesn’t provide much EXP, but it will add up. Many level 24 dungeons provide less EXP than Spider Nest.”
“If a party has insufficient Mages, or if the Mages have no AOE offensive skills, gaining EXP is nothing but a pipe dream.”
Discussions rose outside, the crowd filled with anticipation.
They were eager to learn whether Lin Moyu will set a new record again.
Lin Moyu has caused a sensation in Dungeon Hall.
In fact, it should be called an explosive sensation.
Inside Spider Nest, Lin Moyu pushed forward using Corpse Explosion, and EXP and materials flooded in like raindrops.
He didn’t leave a single cave alone. At this time, the Skeletal Warriors were no longer completely dispersed, but instead set out in groups of 10.
He followed behind, and whenever Small Spiders appeared, he would rush over as soon as possible and cast Corpse Explosion.
When others raided this dungeon, they chose to take the shortest path and directly push to the end of the dungeon.
Lin Moyu, on the other hand, intends to clear the entire dungeon.
He won’t leave a single monster alone.
