Slay them all, then emerge

Lin Mo Yu identified the owner of the tree branches, a tree about three meters high.

Lin Mo Yu's fingertips glowed faintly as she used her recognition technique.

The recognition technique is a skill that anyone can master and can be used to obtain some basic information.

[Whip Tree]

[Level: 8]

[Introduction: Normally it sleeps and attacks passing life forms]

Why didn't it attack when the Skeleton Warrior just passed by?

Skeletal warriors aren't considered life forms; they lack life essence.

Therefore, skeleton warriors don't provoke attacks from the whip tree.

However, when Lin Mo Yu entered, the Whip Tree began its attack on them.

The whip tree continued its attack on Lin Mo Yu.

Although it wouldn't do much damage, Lin Mo Yu wasn't stupid; she wouldn't just stand there and let it hit her.

She quickly retreated a few meters and left the whip tree's attack range.

The whip tree doesn't move; after Lin Mo Yu retreated, it stops its attacks.

The long branches continued to sway and seemed to be vigilant.

"How considerate."

Lin Mo Yu understood the jailer's thoughtful intentions.

From significantly weakened, low level monsters to level 8 monsters that were just as strong as those in the outside world.

Another choice among the level 8 monsters: a plant monster that can ambush but doesn't move.

The whip tree has the "ambush" trait, which allows beginners to experience the dangers of the wilderness early on.

The whip tree cannot move, so it cannot pursue practitioners.

As soon as a beginner is in danger, they can calmly retreat and escape the tree's attack area.

In addition, the whip tree's attack range is exactly the same as that of some ranged combat classes.

This also rules out the possibility of ranged classes exploiting it.

Thanks to this design, beginners can fight real level 8 monsters in a safe environment.

The entire newbie dungeon exudes a protective aura for newbies that encourages newcomers.

Amidst the unpleasant cracking noises, the skeleton warriors returned.

Sixteen Skeleton Warriors surrounded Lin Mo Yu like an army.

With a thought, Lin Mo Yu ordered a skeleton warrior to pounce on the whip tree.

The whip tree showed no reaction to non-living skeleton warriors until one initiated the attack by slashing at the trunk with a large sword.

Huge branches struck the skeletal warrior like whips, causing a metallic clang on impact.

The speed of the whip tree's attack was remarkably fast, its branches flailing wildly and striking the skeletal warrior at three to four blows per second.

However, the skeletal warrior's attributes were too high, with a physique of 550, strong health and defense.

The attack caused tiny cracks in the bones, but these healed quickly.

"Huh? Not dead right away!"

Lin Mo Yu was slightly surprised.

Level one to seven monsters were usually killed instantly, but level 8 monsters were different.

For the first time, the Skeleton Warrior failed to kill his target on the spot.

"Is this the strength of wilderness monsters? Let's see how many hits you can take."

One hit, two hits, three hits.

After the fourth hit, the whip tree stopped working.

(Killed level 8 whip tree, experience +160)

When I saw the message, the experience gained was much higher than that of a level 7 bear.

Lin Mo Yu calculated that killing level 7 monsters was more cost-effective in terms of efficiency.

After all, it's 70 experience points per hit.

Four hits were required for the level 8 whip tree, which only yielded 160 experience points.

This seems higher, but in reality the efficiency per hit has dropped.

However, you also have to take into account the time it takes to search for monsters.

If all the time is wasted searching for monsters, hunting lower level monsters would be less profitable.

The view sweeps across the dense forest with numerous tall trees, most of which are level 8 whip trees.

With careful observation, the whip trees could still be distinguished from normal trees.

There is no need to hunt for monsters here.

What the eyes see are hundreds of them.

This increases efficiency considerably.

This is simply a leveling paradise tailored to them.

Lin Mo Yu was also a little excited at that moment.

With a thought, the skeleton warriors immediately dispersed and rushed to various forests.

Their blades ceaselessly struck against the whipping trees.

Four hits per tree, swift and decisive.

The experience began to increase again.

While the leveling speed of others drops drastically after level 5, Lin Mo Yu's speed only increased.

It was originally estimated that it would take her over an hour to level up, but she reached level 6 in just 50 minutes.

Outside the dungeon, the sky gradually darkened.

It was already 7 pm. A whole 10 hours had passed since 9 o'clock when they entered the dungeon.

Lu Yun and the other directors as well as Xia Dongyang remained unmoved.

They had been drinking tea all day, and food was brought to them at mealtimes.

The principals do this every year. On the first day the students enter the novices' dungeon, they always keep watch.

Although accidents are rare, it cannot be guaranteed that there will be no accidents.

As it's a real fight, injuries are inevitable and there have been cases of students dying in the novice dungeon.

Xia Dongyang also didn't leave because, as a father, he couldn't be sure that Xia Xue was in the dungeon.

He didn't want to miss his daughter's first dungeon experience after missing the class change ceremony.

Suddenly, a bright light emanated from the entrance of the dungeon, causing everyone to look up at the same time.

"Someone's coming out."

"It's not time yet; could there be an accident?"

The dungeon has two entrances and exits; one is in the deepest part of the dungeon, guarded by level 8 monsters in the forest.

The other is located where they came in and also serves as an exit.

Lin Mo Yu stepped out of the radiant light.

Lu Yun rushed over, "Mo Yu, why did you come out?"

Lin Mo Yu muttered softly, "I killed them all, that's why I came out."

I killed them all, that's why I came out.

This statement confused Lu Yun for a moment.

Lin Mo Yu's tone was too indifferent, her face expressionless.

The next moment, Lu Yun saw Lin Mo Yu's level.

[Lin Mo Yu, Level 7 Necromancer]
