Lin Mo Yu saw the owner of the branch, a large tree about three meters tall.
Lin Mo Yu's fingertips glowed slightly as he activated Detect.
Detect is a skill that everyone knows, and it can provide some basic information.
【Whip Tree】
【Level: 8】
【Description: Usually in a dormant state, it will attack passing life forms.】
Why didn't it attack when the Skeleton Warrior ran past just now?
Skeleton Warriors aren't living beings, they don't have a life force.
So the Skeleton Warrior wouldn't trigger the Whip Tree's attack.
But when Lin Mo Yu came in, the Whip Tree attacked him.
The Whip Tree continued to attack Lin Mo Yu.
While it wouldn't cause any damage, Lin Mo Yu wasn't an idiot. He wouldn't just stand there and let it hit him.
He quickly retreated dozens of meters, leaving the Whip Tree's attack range.
The Whip Tree didn't move. After Lin Mo Yu retreated, it stopped attacking.
Its long branches kept swaying, as if on alert.
“You really are thoughtful.”
Lin Mo Yu understood the careful intentions of the dungeon designer.
From significantly weakened low-level monsters to level 8 monsters with the same strength as the outside world.
They also selected a plant-type monster that would ambush but not move.
The Whip Tree possessed the ambush characteristic, allowing novice adventurers to experience the dangers of the wilderness early on.
The Whip Tree can't move, so it wouldn't chase after adventurers.
If there is danger, novice adventurers can retreat safely and leave its attack range.
Moreover, the Whip Tree's attack range coincides with the attack range of several ranged professions.
This also eliminates the possibility of ranged professions taking advantage of loopholes.
This design allows newcomers to fight real level 8 monsters safely.
The entire novice dungeon exudes an aura of protecting newcomers and nurturing them.
It aims to allow newcomers to adapt to real battles and grow, while minimizing casualties.
Amidst a series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds, the Skeleton Warriors ran back.
A total of sixteen Skeleton Warriors guarded Lin Mo Yu like an army.
With a thought from Lin Mo Yu, a Skeleton Warrior charged towards the Whip Tree.
The Whip Tree didn't react to the Skeleton Warrior, a non-living being.
Only when the Skeleton Warrior took the initiative and swung its giant sword at the tree did the Whip Tree retaliate.
The huge branches whipped against the Skeleton Warrior, making a metallic clanging sound.
The Whip Tree's attack speed was very fast. The branches danced wildly, with three or four attacks hitting the Skeleton Warrior every second.
However, the Skeleton Warrior's stats were too high, with a massive 550 constitution, thick blood and defense.
Fine cracks appeared on the bones that were struck, but they quickly recovered.
“Huh? It wasn't killed instantly!”
Lin Mo Yu was slightly surprised.
Level 1 to 7 monsters were all one-shot kills, but things changed at level 8.
For the first time, the Skeleton Warrior didn't instantly kill its target.
“Is this the strength of wild monsters? Let's see how many hits you can take.”
One, two, three.
After four hits, the Whip Tree stopped all movements.
【Killed Level 8 Whip Tree, EXP +160】
Seeing the notification, the experience was much more than the level 7 Brown Bear.
Lin Mo Yu calculated that in terms of cost-effectiveness, killing level 7 monsters was more worthwhile.
After all, it was 70 experience points per kill.
The level 8 Whip Tree needed 4 hits, only 160 experience points.
It seemed like a lot, but the per-hit cost-effectiveness actually dropped.
However, we also need to consider the time spent searching for monsters.
If all the time was wasted on finding monsters, finding lower-level monsters would be less worthwhile.
Looking at the forest ahead, the dense trees, most of them were level 8 Whip Trees.
As long as you are careful, the Whip Trees can be distinguished from ordinary trees.
Here, there's no need to search for monsters.
Just from what you can see with your eyes, there are hundreds of them.
This significantly improves efficiency.
This is a perfect training ground for him.
Even Lin Mo Yu was a little excited now.
With a thought, the Skeleton Warriors dispersed and rushed into the various forests.
Their swords kept landing on the Whip Trees.
Four hits per tree, very decisive.
Experience began to soar again.
While others' leveling speeds slowed down significantly after level 5, Lin Mo Yu's speed only got faster.
Originally estimated to take over an hour to complete the level up.
However, after just 50 minutes, Lin Mo Yu had reached level 6.
Outside the dungeon, it was getting dark.
It was already 7 pm.
They had entered the dungeon at 9 am, and it was now 10 hours later.
Lu Yun, the several principals, and Xia Dongyang still hadn't moved.
They had been drinking tea for a whole day, and when they ate, it was delivered to them.
Every year, the principals would do the same. On the first day that students entered the novice dungeon, they would always stay there.
Although accidents rarely happened, they couldn't guarantee that there would be absolutely no accidents.
Because it was a real battle, injuries were inevitable. However, there had been cases of students dying in the novice dungeon before.
Xia Dongyang didn't leave either. With his daughter in the dungeon, he, as a father, was also worried.
He had missed his daughter's job change ceremony and didn't want to miss her first dungeon.
The entrance to the dungeon suddenly emitted a brilliant light. Everyone raised their heads towards the entrance.
“Someone is coming out.”
“The time isn't up yet. Could it be that something happened?”
The dungeon has two entrances and exits. One is at the deepest part of the dungeon. You can see it after passing through the forest guarded by level 8 monsters.
The other is the place where you entered the dungeon. You can also exit the dungeon from there.
Lin Mo Yu stepped out of the light.
Lu Yun quickly walked over, “Mo Yu, why did you come out?”
Lin Mo Yu said softly, “I killed them all, so I came out.”
Killed them all, so I came out.
Lu Yun was momentarily unable to understand.
Lin Mo Yu's words were too calm, and there was not even a hint of emotion on his face.
The next second, Lu Yun saw Lin Mo Yu's level.
【Lin Mo Yu, Necromancer, Level 7】
