Chapter 78: Leveling Paradise, Material Paradise
There were only two dungeons below level 20.
Mutant Forest and Spider's Nest.
Mutant Forest was a level 17 dungeon, with the lowest requirements, for levels 15-19.
Spider's Nest was a level 20 dungeon, for levels 18-22.
Just from these two dungeons, one could see the university's strict level restrictions on dungeons.
This formed a complete mechanism for cultivating students.
As students' levels gradually increased and combat experience grew richer, these requirements would gradually relax.
"Nightmare difficulty, enter dungeon."
Paying 10 points, Lin Moyu entered the dungeon.
Wind blowing through the cave sounded like a baby crying.
The wind came in gusts, making the sound intermittent and scary.
The cave was extremely dark. Even with Lin Moyu's vision it was hard to see clearly.
A flame appeared in his palm.
Soul Fire, with no target, just staying in Lin Moyu's palm for illumination.
The flame wasn't strong and couldn't light up much area.
Lin Moyu roughly saw his surroundings.
Rock walls all around, with only one passage wide enough for two people to walk side by side, leading who knows where.
The rock walls were covered in small holes, from thumb-sized to fist-sized.
Many spider webs hung from the ceiling.
The wind carried the sound of spiders crawling, making one's skin crawl.
The dungeon was called Spider's Nest - this was the spiders' world.
Large numbers of skeleton warriors appeared, their ghostly soul fires serving as torches, casting many shadows.
The skeleton warriors charged down the passage.
The environment in Spider's Nest was very complex and winding.
The skeleton warriors spread out, running through the caves.
A map that was constantly expanding appeared in Lin Moyu's mind.
The entire nest had countless caves, connected to each other.
Some caves had several exits.
They interconnected, forming a structure like a beehive - accessible in all directions yet maze-like.
The skeleton warriors kept spreading out, each advancing on their own.
Soon, some skeleton warriors encountered monsters.
They engaged in battle.
[Killed Level 20 Crimson Spider, Experience +9000]
[Obtained Spider Silk x5]
[Killed Level 19 Hairy Spider, Experience +8000]
[Obtained Spider Silk x4]
Information kept popping up as the skeleton warriors entered combat, slowing the map's expansion.
There were many monsters, densely packed.
Judging by the experience, they were enhanced elite monsters.
The skeleton warriors encountered attacks almost every few steps.
Spiders often ambushed, usually lurking on the cave ceiling.
They would attack when prey passed by.
Lin Moyu advanced through the caves along paths already cleared.
Entering this kind of dungeon environment for the first time, Lin Moyu was very cautious.
Suddenly he heard faint sounds.
In the dim light, small spiders crawled out of the surrounding rock walls.
Each small spider was no bigger than a fist.
Densely packed, they quickly covered the entire cave.
At least several hundred, surrounding Lin Moyu.
[Small Spider]
[Level: 18]
[Strength: 200]
[Agility: 200]
[Spirit: 100]
[Constitution: 200]
[Skills: None]
Just ordinary monsters, even weaker than normal monsters of the same level.
But there were too many.
Even ants could kill an elephant if there were enough of them.
Lin Moyu recalled that the top three teams for Spider's Nest all had at least two mage class members.
Mages had extremely strong area attacks, probably to deal with situations like this.
"The top ranked team for both Spider's Nest and Mutant Forest dungeons is the same team."
"The time seems to be 1 hour 12 minutes."
"And it's been unbroken for three years."
Lin Moyu thought to himself as the Soul Fire that had been burning in his palm flew out.
The flame landed on one of the small spiders.
Soul Fire amplified 20 times was enough to instantly kill ordinary monsters of the same level.
Not to mention the small spiders only had 200 constitution, even weaker than normal level 18 monsters.
The small spider let out a shrill cry and died instantly.
As the light went out, the small cave fell into endless darkness.
Boom!
A violent explosion swept through the cave.
The deafening sound echoed throughout Spider's Nest.
The nest rumbled, waking countless sleeping spiders.
Before the skeleton warriors could arrive, they had already crawled out.
Boom! Boom!
Two more explosions, as if the cave was about to collapse.
When light appeared in Lin Moyu's palm again, no living small spiders remained in the cave.
Lin Moyu's screen was flooded with hundreds of notifications.
[Killed Level 18 Small Spider, Experience +500]
[Killed Level 18 Small Spider, Experience +500]
[Obtained Spider Silk x1]
[Killed Level 18 Small Spider, Experience +500]
...
Though each small spider only provided 500 experience,
It added up. 20 small spiders exceeded an enhanced elite monster of level 18.
And that wave had at least 300-400 small spiders.
Equivalent to killing over 20 enhanced elite monsters of the same level at once.
Huge profit!
Lin Moyu's eyes lit up, his usually calm face showing rare delight.
He discovered that in the various caves where skeleton warriors were, small spiders had filled them up.
These small spiders were all drawn out by the earlier explosions.
"Experience paradise."
Lin Moyu thought.
Then his expression changed slightly.
The skeleton warriors started taking damage.
Small spiders covered the skeleton warriors.
The small spiders bit the skeleton warriors with their teeth.
The damage wasn't high, but very fast.
The skeleton warriors' health was slowly decreasing.
Ants really could kill an elephant if there were enough.
The scene of skeleton warriors killing a dragon during his career transition was now reversed, happening to the skeleton warriors.
Lin Moyu's first reaction was to recall the skeleton warriors.
But he found that because small spiders were crawling on the skeleton warriors, he couldn't recall them.
The skeleton warriors had no area attack skills. Their blades could only kill one small spider at a time.
With luck, they might kill two or three.
It was a drop in the bucket.
"Come back!"
Lin Moyu immediately ordered the skeleton warriors to run back.
Even if he couldn't recall them, they should run back.
If they didn't leave, they would definitely be eaten clean by the small spiders.
The skeleton warriors ran back covered in small spiders.
Behind them followed large numbers of spiders.
Both small spiders and various enhanced elite spiders.
The skeleton warriors had conquered dungeons time and again, sweeping through monsters like cutting melons.
This was the first time they fled so miserably.
Lin Moyu increasingly realized the skeleton warriors were too one-dimensional.
Though their attributes were high, they had huge flaws and limitations.
Now he could only hope for new skills at level 20.
A skeleton warrior appeared in view.
Lin Moyu raised his hand.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
Boom!
With a violent explosion, the small spiders on the skeleton warrior died completely.
More skeleton warriors kept returning, with constant explosions.
The entire Spider's Nest shook non-stop, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Lin Moyu used Corpse Explosion to advance, his experience skyrocketing.
In the Dungeon Hall.
A group of people saw Lin Moyu enter the Spider's Nest dungeon.
"Is he going to set another new record?"
"Hard to say, but Spider's Nest is a good dungeon."
"If I hadn't already passed level 22, I'd really want to run it a few more times."
"Yeah, Spider's Nest is a material paradise, you can earn loads of money."
"Besides money, there's tons of experience. Though each small spider doesn't give much, it adds up to a scary amount. Many level 24 dungeons don't give as much experience as Spider's Nest."
"The experience depends on your career though. If you can't get a mage, or get a mage without area attacks, it's a joke."
The crowd discussed outside, while also waiting expectantly.
They really wanted to know if Lin Moyu would set another new record.
Lin Moyu was already having a blast inside.
Or rather, an explosive blast.
Advancing with Corpse Explosion, countless experience and materials rained down.
Lin Moyu didn't skip a single cave. The skeleton warriors no longer spread out completely, but moved in groups of 10 to clear the way.
Lin Moyu followed behind. Whenever small spiders appeared, he immediately rushed over to use Corpse Explosion.
He didn't realize that others usually found the shortest path straight to the end of the dungeon.
He was clearing the entire dungeon.
Not planning to let a single monster escape.
