"Blessing of Thunder and Lightning".
Ye Bai cast a buff on himself and dashed forward at lightning speed.
"The duration of Lightning Blessing is 30 seconds. Under the blessing of Lightning Blessing, normal attacks will deal 20 more points of lightning elemental damage."
"The cave-dwelling giant rat has 50 HP, and my Strength is 9, which translates to 9 points of base physical attack. With the Lightning Blessing, I can deal 29 damage!"
Ye Bai charged in front of a giant burrowing rat and slammed his staff down hard.
-29!
-29!
After two attacks, the burrowing giant rat collapsed to the ground, just like the previous burrowing giant rat, turning into specks of light and disappearing, leaving behind three copper coins.
"Hurry!"
Ye Bai did not waste any time.
While fighting, he continuously unleashes the skill [Ready to Strike], and the skill cooldown is immediately refreshed!
This also means that Ye Bai cannot use [Lightning Blessing] or [Lightning Arrow] for a short period of time, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain!
In order to stack up more "Ready to Strike" and deliver a fatal blow to the final BOSS, Ye Bai must eliminate as many cave-dwelling giant rats as possible during the buff duration of "Lightning Blessing".
-29!
-29!
"....."
A series of numbers emerged from the heads of the burrowing giant rats, and in the dimly lit passage, more and more burrowing giant rats collapsed.
At the same time, the duration of the Lightning Blessing is also constantly being consumed!
"10, 9, 8..."
Less than 10 seconds left!
The series of intense battles had taken a toll on Ye Bai's body.
Eternal Tower, as a 100% simulation game, also perfectly simulates fatigue.
Ye Bai exhaled a long breath, looked at the passage ahead, and without stopping, his staff in his hand turned into afterimages as he struck out.
In the final 10 seconds, with the blessing of [Lightning Blessing], Ye Bai took down four more monsters in succession.
From the moment he entered the beginner dungeon until now, Ye Bai has dealt with 12 cave-dwelling giant rats in just one minute!
Once word gets out about this efficiency, countless people will go crazy for it!
Ye Bai's attention was entirely focused on the battle; there were still 8 left!
"Ready to go!"
While fighting, Ye Bai did not forget to continue using the "Ready to Strike" skill to stack buffs.
Another giant burrowing rat charged forward, its rapidly advancing body slicing through the air with a piercing whistling sound.
Without the [Lightning Blessing] and unable to unleash lightning-type skills, Ye Bai could only rely on basic attacks to fight his opponent.
In his field of vision, several red dots lit up on the giant burrowing rat, with a line of small text noting:
[This is the enemy's weakness; attacking it will deal double damage. A mage choosing to engage in melee combat? You really should rethink your class strategy.]
"This talent is quite mischievous."
Ye Bai ignored the sarcastic remarks in the second half of the note and focused his attention on the flaw.
The staff thrust out, striking one of the red dots.
-19!
"Strike the burrowing giant rat's weak point, dealing double damage and inflicting temporary blindness!"
Pressing his advantage, Ye Bai immediately followed up with two more spells, both hitting the red dots, and successfully finished off his opponent.
"Seven left!"
With the help of the Eye of Insight, even a mage can easily pass this level by relying on basic attacks!
"Hit the weak point..."
"Hit the weak point..."
"....."
Five minutes later, Ye Bai was the only living person left in the entire passage.
"call--"
Ye Bai exhaled a breath of stale air and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
All the cave-dwelling giant rats turned into Ye Bai's experience points and copper coins.
Only then did he have time to check the relevant prompts.
You gained 100 experience points from killing the monster earlier.
Congratulations on reaching level 2!
"Gained Strength +1, Intelligence +2, Spirit +1, Agility +2, Constitution +2, Free Attribute Points: 1."
At this moment, along with the upgrade, white light shone on Ye Bai, infusing him with new power and sweeping away his fatigue.
With his HP and MP fully restored, Ye Bai adjusted his condition to its best and glanced at his attribute panel.
All five attributes have been significantly improved, and Ye Bai added the extra free attribute point to Intelligence.
Looking at the upgraded attributes, Ye Bai recalled the strategy guide.
"According to the textbooks, the attributes gained during leveling up in the Eternal Tower are affected by many factors. Race template, class template, the leveling process... all of these will affect the attribute boost during leveling up!"
"In my previous battles, I mostly relied on basic attacks and close-quarters combat with the cave-dwelling giant rats, and I didn't use skills much. So when I leveled up, my strength/constitution/agility increased more than my intelligence/spirit!"
Thinking of this, Ye Bai felt helpless.
How can a dignified mage become famous through close combat?
Ye Bai would never stoop to such crooked and evil ways!
Collapse the attribute panel, and while stacking the [Ready to Strike] buff, Ye Bai continued forward along the passage.
The dimly lit passage was eerily quiet, with occasional gusts of cold wind blowing from behind; a timid person might find it difficult to move an inch.
Ye Bai strode forward, completely unaffected by his surroundings.
Soon, he arrived at a fork in the road.
"Left or right?"
Ye Bai understood that this was the second level of the beginner's dungeon.
The textbook clearly states that a group of monsters will spawn on the left, leading to an attack.
On the right, a powerful elite monster will spawn, which is impossible for ordinary people to deal with.
According to big data analysis from previous years, the return on choosing the left side is 45.7% higher than that on the right side.
Ye Bai looked towards the passage on the left, and sure enough, the note appeared before his eyes:
Ten foul-smelling bats are craving your blood.
[A mutated bat is lurking in a dark corner.]
Eleven bats?
The monster data of the bats appeared before Ye Bai's eyes. They were slightly stronger than the cave-dwelling giant rats, but their movement speed was the problem.
The passage on the right:
A baby Cerberus is sleeping. Please don't disturb it, or you'll feed it.
Cerberus?
Ye Bai never expected that the monster on the right would be such a powerful elite monster!
In the textbook monster encyclopedia, the Cerberus is definitely the strongest elite monster in beginner dungeons!
There is none other than this!
Even in its infancy, its three heads can unleash three different skills, dealing massive damage. Furthermore, its Hellblood grants it an extremely high health bar, terrifying health regeneration rate, and high physical and magical resistance.
It is the nightmare, the terminator, and an insurmountable wall for all beginners.
Ye Bai's gaze shifted, and a note appeared on the wall directly in front of him!
[Lucky guy, don't move the stone on the left, or you'll unlock a hidden level!]
Ye Bai's spirits lifted.
Hidden level?!
