Chapter 4: No Martial Ethics

Lin You did not expect that his territory would attract monsters above level three.

I saw a lion with red hair and a strong body standing on a stone outside the territory!

[Name: Flame Lion]

[Race: Beast]

[Level: Level 3]

[Strength: 32]

【Constitution: 27】

[Agility: 30]

[Spirit: 29]

[Skill: Flame Surround]

[Introduction: A ferocious beast among low-level creatures that can manipulate fire in a simple way.]

The average attribute of nearly thirty points is much higher than that of the second-level thorny vine flower.

How could such a powerful monster appear here?

Lin You was puzzled.

But when he saw the Flame Lion leap down from the rock and jump towards the corpses of the black wolves, he suddenly realized.

It turned out that this guy was attracted by the smell of blood.

It was just as expected.

The flaming lion first stared at Lin You for a while, then slowly came to the black wolf corpses and began to devour them in big mouthfuls, completely ignoring Lin You.

This made Lin You more active.

Although the fire element has a restraint on plants, he still has a safe period. As long as he does not leave the territory, he does not have to worry about encountering any danger. Why not take this opportunity to try to kill this flaming lion? If successful, the rewards will undoubtedly be huge! The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

While the Flame Lion was not paying attention, Lin You immediately gave attack orders to the thorny vine flowers and thorny vine grasses beside him.

The next second, a few whooshing sounds were heard, and thorny vines rushed out of the fence and swept straight towards the Flame Lion several meters away, at a speed even faster than before.

The flame lion that was devouring the corpse noticed the movement, suddenly raised its head, opened its mouth and sprayed a ball of fire at the vines.

The vines that were originally so aggressive were instantly burned black and fell to the ground.

As expected, the fire element has some restraint on plants.

However, Lin You noticed that the vines of the second-level thorny vine flower had not completely lost their vitality, at most only a layer of skin was burnt.

It seems that its 22-point constitution has come into play.

The Flame Lion's spirit is 29 points, which is the power of its fire.

Even if the attribute counter creates additional damage, there is no way to kill the thorny vine flower in one hit.

This is his chance!

Lin You's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although the plant type's attack was relatively low in the early stages, his naturally high physical fitness allowed him to see the possibility of killing a third-level monster.

You can't kill me instantly. I have a lot of healers and safe zones, so I can wear you down to death!

"Keep attacking!"

At the command, the second-level thorny vine flower quickly recovered with its own healing skills and stood up again.

Then, with a whoosh, it suddenly wrapped around the flaming feet, and the barbs sank deeply into the flesh.

"roar!"

The Flame Lion roared angrily, and large flames appeared on its body again, trying to burn the vines. Fortunately, the vines were pulled back in time to avoid the flames.

And its fire ability obviously has a recovery time.

Wait until the flames dissipate and lose their ability to suppress the plants.

The two tree spirit guards immediately rushed forward and stabbed fiercely with the wooden spikes in their hands.

The thorny vine flowers and those first-level thorny vine grasses also exerted their strength again. A large number of vines emerged, and using the human wave tactics, they successively entangled the body of the Flame Lion and dragged it to the edge of the fence.

The three flower elves in the territory continuously cast two single-target healing skills, working hard to heal their injuries.

The Flame Lion struggled desperately to break free from the vines on its body and rammed the fence frantically, but it was unable to rush into the territory because of the protection of the safe zone.

Besides, there were so many vines around that if you broke one, another one would immediately wrap around its body, getting tighter and tighter.

In addition, the three flower spirits who were constantly assisting in the treatment, as well as the toxins on the thorny vines, gradually restricted its movements.

Finally, the second-level thorny vine flower found the right moment, and the thorns on the vines cut open its most vulnerable throat.

"puff!"

In an instant, the blood started to flow.

Now the Flame Lion went even crazier, knocking away two tree spirit guards and tearing off the vines on its body.

Only the second-level thorny vine flower was barely holding on thanks to its powerful life and healing, but it was also in danger.

Cracks kept appearing on the vine, but it was constantly being reorganized under the treatment and self-repair of the flower essences, and it felt like it would break at any moment.

Lin You looked at the vines nervously and couldn't help but break into a sweat.

fortunately.

Because the artery was cut and there was excessive bleeding, and the body was invaded by toxins.

The Flame Lion's breath finally began to weaken, its struggles became weaker and weaker, and it couldn't even use its fire ability anymore.

This finally gave the Thorny Flower a chance to catch its breath. A vine whip wrapped around its neck and sank deeply into its wound.

The Flame Lion wanted to struggle, but he had no strength at all.

He could only let the vines tighten and tighten as he sank deeper and deeper, his body twitching constantly.

Finally, it let out a wail and fell heavily to the ground.

[Congratulations, you have successfully killed the third-level Flame Lion and gained 15 points of magic power. ]

Listening to the voice in his mind, Lin You was extremely excited.

He actually succeeded in killing a third-level monster! Although the means he used were not very glorious, he really did it! As the main output, Thorny Vine Flower also increased her experience by ten points, which was equivalent to killing ten second-level monsters.

At this time, Lin You also discovered that experience would only increase if he obtained soldiers who could kill people.

Except for the healing class which will gain extra experience when healing, the experience of other classes does not change at all.

But even so, he was extremely excited.

"Quick, drag its body in."

He hurriedly gave orders, asking the second-level Thorny Vine Flower to drag the corpse.

Because at this time, only it and the flower essence are relatively intact.

As for those first-level thorny vines and tree spirit guards, they were much more miserable.

Almost all the vines were torn off, and their bodies were badly injured, and they all looked listless.

This battle was extremely brutal.

Fortunately, with my own healing skills and flower essences, I didn't suffer any casualties.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Otherwise, Lin You would be heartbroken.

After dealing with the body of the Flame Lion, Lin You took the opportunity to check the information of the Thorny Vine Flower.

【Name：thorny vine flower】

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Level 2 (10/25)]

[Strength: 22]

【Constitution: 23】

[Agility: 10]

[Spirit: 18]

[Skills: Breath of Nature, Vine Whip]

[Introduction: The lowest level plant-based summon, with the initial ability to move.]

As he expected, after gaining experience, the properties of the thorny vine flower increased again and became much stronger than before.

According to this calculation, the maximum attribute value of the second level should be around 25 points.

"Now all that's missing is the stone."

Lin You muttered to himself, called up the territory information and took a look. The 10 points of magic power required for the upgrade had been obtained by killing the Flame Lion.

Now he only needs 100 units of stone to upgrade his territory to the second level. By then, he will also be upgraded to the second level, and his strength will definitely become much stronger.

Stone, isn't that easy?

His place was right next to a mountain and there were stones everywhere. He could just ask the tree spirit guards and the thorny vine flower to move some back.

Soon, he began to move with his mobile troops.

In just half a day, he had gathered the 100 stones needed for the upgrade and returned to the territory.

The Tree of Life seemed to sense that it was about to be upgraded, and its branches swayed from side to side, casting fluorescent light downwards.

[Do you want to upgrade the territory? ]

The voice in my head sounded.

"upgrade!"

Lin You didn't hesitate at all.

The next second, the entire territory was covered in dazzling light, and the fence expanded rapidly, changing from the original wooden fence to stone pillars, becoming much stronger.

Even the Tree of Life grew to a height of twenty meters, with its branches and leaves covering half of the territory, giving a feeling of birds singing and flowers blooming.

At the same time, Lin You also felt a powerful force surging into his body, constantly nourishing his limbs and bones, and his strength, perception, and reaction instantly rose to a higher level.

Lin You was sure that if he were to encounter those first-level black wolves again, he would be able to blow them up with one punch, without even needing a weapon! "Is this the second level? So strong!"

Lin You couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, while his eyes fell on the territory information.

[Territory name: Tree of Life]

[Territory Level: Level 2]

[Territory Durability: 250/250]

[Recruitment type: Plant system]

[Number of recruits: 10/20]

[Territory Introduction: The core of the lord's survival, with various functions. If the core of the territory is destroyed, the lord will perish.]

[Upgrade requirements: Wood (250/250), Stone (3/250), Mana 5/50]

[Note: Plants are a territorial feature, and wood is self-sufficient.]

After the territory was upgraded to the second level, not only the durability was greatly improved, but the number of recruits also increased by ten.

However, what surprised Lin You the most was the voice that sounded in his mind next.

[Successfully upgraded the territory to level 2. 】

[Unlock the second-tier soldier: Explosive Mushroom]

[Unlock territory skill: Repatriation (can repatriate designated summoned units and return half of their magic power.)]

Second-tier troops!

There are also territory skills! I didn't expect that after reaching the second level, I would unlock new things, and two at once.

Originally, Lin You was worried that there were too many first-level soldiers taking up too many recruits, but the emergence of this "repatriation" skill really helped him a lot.

He also took a look and found that the magic power required to recruit a second-level soldier was 5 points, and the magic power he had left was just enough to recruit one.

Without thinking too much, I chose to recruit.

After a flash of light, a fiery red mushroom covered with spores appeared in front of him.
