As Lin Moyu stepped through the iron gate, he cast a detection spell.
[Goblin Mine Guard (Enhanced Elite Monster)]
Level: 14
Power: 800
Agility: 400
Spirit: 200
Physique: 1000
Skill: Stun Attack
As expected, this enhanced elite monster boasted attributes several times greater than those of ordinary monsters. With such high strength and physique, its attack and defense were formidable. For comparison, a level 14 knight typically had physical attributes ranging from 300 to 400—far inferior to the goblin mine guard before him.
Without a coordinated team, it would be a challenge to tackle a nightmare-level dungeon. However, Lin Moyu's skeleton warriors far surpassed this goblin's attributes.
He summoned his skeleton warriors from the summoning space, quickly filling the room with their eerie forms. With determination, he pushed open the door, officially commencing his dungeon exploration.
The goblin mine guard roared with excitement, charging out from behind the iron gate. But it was met head-on by the broadsword of a skeleton warrior. The goblin was tall and robust, towering over the skeleton, but its low agility and wisdom left it vulnerable.
The skeleton warrior's massive blade struck true, inflicting a series of horrific wounds. With such overwhelming attributes, even a one-on-one confrontation with a skeleton warrior would have spelled doom for the goblin. But now, surrounded by five or six skeleton warriors, it stood no chance.
In just two seconds, it collapsed with a final scream.
[Kill the Level 14 Goblin Mine Guard: Experience +4200]
A surge of excitement coursed through Lin Moyu as he received the notification. The experience gained was roughly ten times that of monsters at the same level elsewhere. Each kill in this dungeon equated to slaying ten monsters outside, and with such swift eliminations, leveling up would naturally accelerate.
Feeling confident in his direction, Lin Moyu issued a command. The skeleton warriors charged into the dungeon corridors with a relentless clatter.
[Kill the Level 14 Goblin Mine Guard: Experience +4200]
[Obtain Bone x5]
[Kill the Level 14 Goblin Mine Guard: Experience +4200]
[Obtain Fur x6]
Messages flooded in as experience points accumulated and materials increased. A detailed mental map of the dungeon began to form in Lin Moyu's mind. As expected from its name, the mine dungeon was a labyrinth of passages extending in every direction. Regardless of the path chosen, each would eventually lead to the dungeon's conclusion.
While other teams typically advanced through selected corridors, Lin Moyu deployed his skeleton warriors in every passage, determined to eliminate all monsters lurking in the corners.
Just five minutes after entering, a glow enveloped him—he had leveled up.
"Finally, level 11!" he exclaimed.
With his mental power fully restored after the upgrade, he immediately summoned four additional skeleton warriors, bringing his total to 56.
[Name: Lin Moyu]
[Occupation: Necromancer (Unique)]
[Level: 11 (0.00%)]
[Power: 120]
[Agility: 120]
[Spirit: 40/400]
[Physique: 120]
[Equipment: None]
[Summon Space: 56/110, Skeleton Warriors (Quantity: 56)]
[Talent: Comprehensive Amplification (Level 2, Unique)]
[Passive Skill: Damage Transfer]
[Active Skills: Soul Flame (Level 10), Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 11), Corpse Burst (Level 1)]
[Comprehensive Amplification (Level 2): The effects of all skills are increased by 20 times.]
[Damage Transfer: All damage suffered by the wizard is borne by the summoned object.]
[Soul Flame (Level 11): Burns the target's soul, causing damage based on one's own spiritual power and skill level.]
[Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 11): Summon a Bronze Rank Skeleton Warrior.]
[Corpse Burst (Level 1): Detonate a corpse to cause damage equal to 10% of its HP to enemies within a 1-meter radius.]
As he reviewed his attributes, he noted, "After level 10, the increase in basic attributes becomes substantial." Strength, agility, and physique, which had previously increased by 10 points per level, now rose by 20. His spiritual power surged by 100 points, and as he continued to level up, the enhancements would only grow.
Lin Moyu understood the implications of these improvements. His skills had progressed, and the four-dimensional attributes of his skeleton warriors now reached an impressive 3,400. Each basic attribute had been boosted by 20 points and magnified by 20 times, resulting in an increase of 400 points. Everything had transpired as expected, except for the Corpse Burst skill, which remained at level 1 without any upgrades.
"Why?" Lin Moyu wondered, puzzled. His other skills, Soul Flame and Summon Skeleton Warrior, had improved, but Corpse Burst had not. He couldn't comprehend why this was the case.
This mystery lay beyond his current understanding, touching on a blind spot in his knowledge.
"If only Ning Yiyi were here, maybe she could help me figure this out." The thought of Ning Yiyi brought a smile to his face—she was a playful girl with a penchant for clever tricks and endless chatter. Her knowledge was far richer than his own, and he knew she would have insights to offer.
Temporarily setting aside his questions, Lin Moyu pressed onward into the depths of the dungeon.
The mine dungeon featured eight interconnected passages, forming a maze that would eventually converge. He strategically dispersed his skeleton warriors among each path, ensuring no monsters escaped his grasp.
Experience points soared, steadily pushing him closer to his next level. The efficiency of his hunt far surpassed anything he could achieve outside.
Emerging from one passage, he found it had been completely cleared of monsters.
[Level: 11 (32.22%)]
Almost a third of the way to his next level, Lin Moyu noted with satisfaction. In less than half an hour, his progress had been remarkably swift.
