Chapter 2 Hunting
"Two missions."
"You can finish the second one first."
With Lin Yi's strength, it is easy to hunt magical beasts of around level three.
But he has to be faster.
It is afternoon now and night will fall in a few hours.
At night, wild beasts would go berserk and their strength would double. Also, once the old tree died, the life protection barrier would collapse, and it was very likely that beasts and undead creatures would attack at night.
He needs to complete Mission 2 as soon as possible to unlock the [Ancient Tree of War].
At that time, he will be able to train combat-type elf soldiers to guard the territory with him.
Before leaving, Lin Yi opened the panel of the building [Tree of Life] and gave birth to ten elves.
The elves have a very strange appearance.
It looks like a football-sized ball of light, emitting the light of life and nature.
Elves cannot speak, but they have intelligence and consciousness.
After being born from the Tree of Life, they surrounded Lin Yi, flying around her and conveying emotions of kindness and happiness to her.
They sensed the noble aura of the sun elf on Lin Yi.
This makes them want to get close.
Lin Yi picked up one of the elves.
It feels warm and soft, like glowing marshmallow.
…
【Elf】
[Faction: Elves]
[Level: Level 3]
[Talent: Resource Collection]
[Army information: Elves are non-combat arms and the initial state of elves. If you want to train a large-scale elf army, you need to have enough elves. ]
…
[Resource Collection: The elves can collect the resources needed for your territory. ]
…
Lin Yi looked around and saw collapsed ruins of ancient monuments everywhere.
Apart from many ancient trees, no other useful resources have been found for collection, such as energy crystals.
He ordered the elves not to run around and to guard their territory and the Tree of Life.
Then he left the square.
Enter the ancient ruins to search for hidden Warcraft monsters.
Not long after.
Lin Yi came to a street near the square.
The buildings on both sides of the street have all turned into ruins, and green vines are all over the rotten wood and rubble in the ruins.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
All that could be heard was the sound of Lin Yi walking on the rotten wood.
In the past, with the support of the old tree, Lin Yi had explored these areas many times without encountering any danger, but now he dared not be careless.
At some point, a turquoise magic wand appeared in his hand.
This is the magic wand that the old tree made for Lin Yi using its branches. The equipment level has reached the king level.
The job levels in the Dark Continent range from low to high, namely, level one to level nine, king level, extraordinary level, saint level, demigod level, and true god level. The same is true for equipment levels.
Therefore, the king-level equipment is not bad.
Lin Yi waved the magic wand in his hand.
In an instant, red light burst out from his body, and soon formed a fiery red protective shield.
This is fire magic - Flame Shield.
The corresponding professional levels are fourth to sixth, which belong to intermediate magic.
In addition to the Fire Shield, Lin Yi also masters three types of fire magic, namely Fireball, Fire Wall, and Fire Spear.
In the few months since he came to this world, he has spent most of his time meditating and practicing to improve his own level.
Otherwise, he could master more magical skills.
Among these four types of magic, Spear of Fire is of the highest level and the most powerful. It has reached the level of advanced magic and is a highly lethal single-target attack magic.
…
Several kilometers away from the central square, Lin Yi suddenly heard a strange noise.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw several giant rats with black bodies looking for food in the ruins a hundred meters away.
"Swamp Rat!"
Lin Yi threw a fireball over casually.
The fireball was about one meter in diameter and burned with azure flames.
Soon, the fireball exploded at the target location, directly igniting the area within a radius of dozens of meters. Several giant swamp rats of different sizes were instantly burned to charcoal.
"The giant swamp rat is a low-level magical beast."
"There are a lot of them in the Forgotten Swamp."
"A few of them are nothing, but if they form a rat tide, that would be terrifying!"
Lin Yi had once witnessed from afar the spectacular scene of a tide of rats washing over the ground.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly felt a surge of energy appearing in his body, slowly increasing his magic power.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Is this...killing monsters to gain experience?"
Lin Yi asked the system and immediately received a positive response.
He can kill enemies, gain special energy, and then quickly increase his level.
At the same time, if he has troops under his command, he can also share part of the special energy when the troops kill the enemy. This is the privilege of the lord.
Theoretically speaking, the more types of troops a lord has, the more enemies he kills and the stronger they are...
The lord's level grows faster.
“That’s great.”
"Killing enemies will give you experience points, so you don't have to meditate anymore."
Lin Yi grinned.
Then we came to the place where several giant swamp rats were killed.
There was still a blue flame burning there, but when Lin Yi approached, the flame automatically separated and did not hurt Lin Yi at all.
It’s not that the flames are spiritual, but that Lin Yi is immune to the fire element.
As long as it is a fire element, no matter whether it is man-made magic or comes from nature, it cannot hurt him.
This is the innate talent of the sun elves.
Next to the charred corpses of several giant rats, Lin Yi found several things that looked like green crystals.
——【Energy Crystal: An indispensable resource for territory development, which can be obtained by killing enemies and mining mineral veins.】
"It takes one thousand energy crystals to upgrade the Tree of Life."
"Based on this explosion rate, it may not take long to gather them all."
Lin Yi continued to move forward.
Two hours later, Lin Yi had killed nearly a hundred monsters, almost all of which were giant swamp rats. Only three monsters were stone pythons hiding in the rubble.
The stone python is a mid-level magical beast.
An adult stone python is about four meters long and is generally level five.
It didn't take Lin Yi much effort to kill the three stone pythons. He took care of the whole family with just one fireball.
"There are nearly a hundred magical beasts, but only sixteen have reached the third level."
“We have to keep working hard!”
"The total amount of energy crystals harvested has reached more than 70, so the collection speed is not slow."
As he spoke, Lin Yi walked into a forest overgrown with weeds.
Thousands of years have passed, and many areas of the ancient elven city are covered by similar forests. There are countless ancient trees that are hundreds of meters high, and a large number of Warcraft monsters have also emerged.
"There are so many towering ancient trees, and I wonder if any tree people have been born."
"Probably not."
"If there was, the old tree would have summoned it long ago."
Ents are the guardians of the elves and are natural companions.
If there were a tree man around Lin Yi, both his own safety and the speed of hunting monsters would be greatly improved.
After entering the woods, Lin Yi used fireball magic to clear a path.
While killing the monsters hidden in the woods, he walked towards the depths of the woods.
Compared to the ruins outside, there are obviously more monsters in the woods.
Hunting here can speed up his task of unlocking the [Ancient Tree of War].
