Hu Die Lan
Chapter TwelveSpider Cave (I)
Newbie Village Bullying
The four guys were very arrogant, secretly discussing to make Ye Xiu do all the work alone. Fortunately, they didn't completely treat Ye Xiu like an idiot. After discussing it properly, the four of them swarmed up to help Ye Xiu clear the monsters. While clearing, they explained their very negligent behavior: "There was something going on with the guild just now, a little distracted, but it's fine now."
"Everyone, keep it up," Ye Xiu said lightly, showing no suspicion at all.
The four were secretly delighted. During this time, they worked together with one heart. Four veterans, plus Ye Xiu, a great master, made this newbie dungeon feel like a crush. Everyone was killing happily, and from the outside, there was no sign of ulterior motives.
"This guy's attack is so high, did you notice?" Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian were still whispering.
"Seems like it. What equipment is that spear he's using? I've never seen it before," Yue Zhongmian said.
"I don't know, I haven't paid attention to low-level battle spears," Tian Qi said.
"It would be great if it dropped when we kill this guy later," Yue Zhongmian said.
"What's the use of dropping it? Even if the attack is high, it's still low-level gear, and it won't be useful for long," Tian Qi said.
"That's true," Yue Zhongmian nodded.
Both sides did not provoke each other, cooperating harmoniously. They went in and out of the Green Forest, and the efficiency was very high. It was a pity that they had never encountered the hidden Boss, Dark Night Cat Demon.
After killing several waves, Jun Mo Xiao was the first to reach level 10. There was no other way, who asked him to be the first to kill the Dark Night Cat Demon? That was a very generous experience reward. The Green Forest only had this one hidden Boss. With this alone, Jun Mo Xiao was quite far ahead on the level leaderboard in the tenth server. However, the first character to break through level ten was unfortunately not him. That player was called Lan He, and this was the second time he had been on the system announcement for being the first to break through level ten. The first time was when he completed the Green Forest first kill with four others.
Seeing that Jun Mo Xiao was about to reach level 10, Yue Zhongmian and the others were nervous, fearing that this guy would slip away to do his level 10 business. Who knew that Ye Xiu would just smile and say "Leveled up," and then, amidst a chorus of congratulations, followed the four into the Green Forest again.
The experience gained from the first kill of a Dark Night Cat Demon wasn't too much. After this dungeon run, Yue Zhongmian and the others all reached level ten. Everyone also added a lot of equipment.
"Brother, we cooperated well. Now that the four of us are level ten, how about we go to the Spider Cave and venture around?" Tian Qi came over and said to Ye Xiu. Yue Zhongmian had a grudge against Ye Xiu, so this sudden friendliness felt strange. So Yue Zhongmian continued his attitude of disliking Ye Xiu. Tian Qi played the role of peacemaker, and occasionally chuckled with Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu agreed with this suggestion and said that he would first learn some skills. Skill points are not only given by quests, but also by level-up rewards, killing monsters to a certain number, and some challenge quests. Relying on these hard indicators can eventually reach four thousand. This time it was leveling up from level seven to level ten, and not many skill points were accumulated, but the key was that level ten was another stage where new skills could be learned.
Of course, the other four also had to learn, so they went to their respective instructors to learn skills, and then went to the Spider Cave to meet up.
There weren't many people at the entrance of the Spider Cave. After all, their team was considered to be leveling up quickly, and players who followed the newbie攻略 (gonglue - guide) wouldn't consider this dungeon.
There were only some scattered players forming wild teams outside the door. Because this dungeon was difficult, they would ask each other about their equipment. Forming a team was not so easy. Ye Xiu and his five were straightforward. They came in without saying anything. But this time, Yue Zhongmian and the other three became furtive again.
"Kill him immediately, or see what happens?" one person whispered.
"Why don't we take a look first? This person is really a good fighter. Let's use him first, and then design him at the Boss, how about that?" Tian Qi suggested.
"Okay." The others had no objections. To be honest, they had no grudges against Ye Xiu. Seeing that this person was playing so well, and was the team's first output force, they were reluctant to let him go. But because of Yue Zhongmian's friend, they finally had to take this step. They didn't say it, but they all felt sorry in their hearts.
"Did you bring the antidotes?" Tian Qi asked everyone after entering the instance dungeon. Everyone nodded, but Ye Xiu smiled casually and said, "No need."
"This guy is looking for death," Yue Zhongmian was very unhappy with Ye Xiu's confident tone.
"It's more convenient for us to act," Tian Qi always seemed to be very open-minded.
The Spider Cave was dimly lit, with broken spider webs everywhere. Occasionally, there were scattered bones on the ground, which looked eerie and terrifying. Yue Zhongmian and the others were a little nervous. In Glory, death would reduce experience by 10% in the ordinary world, and equipment might also drop, but the chance was relatively low. This was even more terrifying in the Realm of Gods, where death would reduce experience by 20%, and there was a high chance that equipment would drop.
Looking at Jun Mo Xiao, he was still walking ahead with his battle spear, as if he were still in the Green Forest. Yue Zhongmian and the other three thought that it was good that this guy was taking the initiative to scout the way.
Ye Xiu had almost forgotten about these low-level dungeons. He remembered that he seemed to have made a Spider Cave攻略 (gonglue - guide) back then, but he couldn't remember it at all now. Thinking about it, it had been almost ten years.
Ye Xiu was sighing when a black shadow suddenly窜 (cuan - darted) out of a stone crevice and pounced directly on Jun Mo Xiao's face. Ye Xiu tapped the keyboard with his left hand and pulled the mouse with his right hand. Jun Mo Xiao rolled back to avoid the pounce, and then used a 天击 (Tianji - Sky Strike).
What pounced was a green spider with poison that attacked up close. After being hit by this 天击 (Tianji - Sky Strike), it was lifted up with its big belly. Adding an attack to a floating target was the most basic operation in Glory. How could Ye Xiu miss it? After a series of intensive keyboard and mouse sounds, Jun Mo Xiao jumped forward, raised his spear and thrust it up. From the air to the ground, he狂刺 (kuang ci - stabbed wildly) at the green spider. *Pu pu pu pu* Four consecutive shots, each hitting the mark. The green spider was directly nailed to a stone crevice on the side.
"I操 (cao - fuck), no way!" Tian Qi exclaimed.
"浮空四连刺 (Fukong Si Lian Ci - Floating Four-Strike Combo)!!" Another person exclaimed in cooperation.
"Can you hit a 浮空四连刺 (Fukong Si Lian Ci - Floating Four-Strike Combo) at level ten?" the third person said.
Yue Zhongmian only knew how to open his mouth in surprise, unable to speak.
浮空四连刺 (Fukong Si Lian Ci - Floating Four-Strike Combo) was a combat mage combo that many people knew, but couldn't do. Theoretically, it was very simple, using the normal attack's 直刺 (zhi ci - straight stab), 龙牙 (Longya - Dragon Tooth), plus the combat mage's level 10 skill, 连突 (Lian Tu - Double Stab), to complete four straight刺 (ci - stab) attacks on a floating target.
"I heard that you need a hand speed of 170 or more to be able to do this combo," Tian Qi said.
"That's after transferring to a combat mage with an attack speed bonus, right?" another person reminded.
"He's just a散人 (sanren - unspecialized class)..."
"How much is the attack speed difference between a 散人 (sanren - unspecialized class) and a combat mage?"
"I don't know, we also have to consider equipment. His current equipment can't have any attack speed bonuses." The equipment on Jun Mo Xiao's body was basically obtained with them during the dungeon runs.
"What about the weapon? Is it a problem with his weapon?"
"Stop looking for reasons. Even if you guys transferred to combat mages and gave you a full set of 流光 (Liuguang - Flowing Light) equipment that increases attack speed, could you perform the 浮空四连刺 (Fukong Si Lian Ci - Floating Four-Strike Combo)?"
There was silence. If they could do it, they wouldn't be so surprised.
"What kind of person is this?" The three of them looked at Yue Zhongmian.
