Chapter 2 Hunting
"Two tasks."
"You can complete the second one first."
With Lin Yi's strength, hunting a third-level monster is very simple.
But he needs to be faster.
It is afternoon now, and night will fall in a few hours.
At night, wild monsters will enter a violent state and their strength will double. In addition, once the old tree dies, the life protection barrier will collapse, and it is very likely that monsters and undead creatures will attack at night.
He needs to complete task two as soon as possible to unlock the [Ancient War Tree].
At that time, he can train combat-type elves to protect the territory with him.
Before leaving, Lin Yi opened the panel of the building [Tree of Life] and bred ten elves.
The elves look very strange.
The appearance is a ball of light the size of a football, emitting the brilliance of life and nature.
The elves cannot speak, but they have wisdom and consciousness.
After being bred from the Tree of Life, they surrounded Lin Yi, flying around Lin Yi while conveying affection and happiness to Lin Yi.
On Lin Yi, they sensed the noble aura of the sun elves.
This made them want to get close.
Lin Yi hugged one of the elves.
It felt warm and soft, like a glowing marshmallow.
…
[Elf]
[Faction: Elf]
[Level: Level 3]
[Talent: Resource Collection]
[Army Information: Elves are non-combat arms and the initial state of elves. To train a large-scale elf army, you need to have a sufficient number of elves. ]
…
[Resource Collection: Elves can collect resources for you. ]
…
Lin Yi looked around, and there were collapsed ruins of ancient sites everywhere.
In addition to many ancient trees, no other useful resources for collection were found, such as energy crystals.
He told the elves not to run around and to guard the territory and the tree of life.
Then, he left the square.
Enter the ruins of the ancient ruins to look for hidden 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 crawling all over the rotten wood and rubble in the ruins.
The surrounding environment is terribly silent.
All you can hear is the sound of Lin Yi stepping 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 dare not be careless.
At some point, a green magic wand appeared in his hand.
This is the magic wand that the old tree made for Lin Yi with its branches, and the equipment level has reached the king level.
The professional levels of the Dark Continent are from low to high, from level one to level nine, king level, extraordinary, holy level, demigod, and true god level. The equipment level is the same.
Therefore, king-level equipment is not bad.
Lin Yi waved the magic wand in his hand.
In an instant, red light bloomed around him, and soon formed a round of fiery red shield.
This is fire magic-flame shield.
The corresponding professional level is level four to level six, which belongs to intermediate magic.
In addition to the Flame Shield, Lin Yi also mastered three types of fire magic, namely Fireball, Fire Wall, and Flame Spear.
In the few months since he came to this world, he has spent most of his time meditating and practicing to improve his level.
Otherwise, he could have mastered more magic skills.
Among these four types of magic, the Flame Spear has the highest level and the strongest power. It has reached the level of advanced magic and is a single attack magic with great lethality.
…
After several kilometers away from the central square, Lin Yi suddenly heard a strange sound.
Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw several giant black rats looking for food in the ruins a hundred meters away.
"Swamp rat!"
Lin Yi threw a fireball casually.
The diameter of the fireball was about one meter, burning with azure flames.
Soon, the fireball exploded at the target location, directly igniting an area of dozens of meters in radius, and several swamp rats of different sizes were instantly burned to charcoal.
"Swamp rats are low-level monsters."
"There are a lot of them in the Forgotten Swamp."
"A few are nothing, but if they form a rat tide, that's scary!"
Lin Yi had seen the spectacular scene of a rat tide washing the ground from afar.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly felt a surge of energy in his body, slowly increasing his magic power.
"Is this...killing monsters to gain experience?"
Lin Yi asked the system and got a positive answer.
He can quickly improve his level by killing enemies and obtaining special energy.
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.
In theory~
The more troops a lord has, the more and stronger enemies he kills...
The faster the lord's level grows.
"That's great."
"Killing enemies can gain experience, so you don't have to meditate anymore."
Lin Yi grinned.
Then he came to the place where several swamp rats were killed.
There was still a blue flame burning there, but when Lin Yi approached, the flames separated automatically and did not hurt Lin Yi at all.
It was not that the flames were spiritual, but that Lin Yi was immune to the fire element.
As long as it is a fire element, no matter it is man-made magic or from nature, it cannot hurt him.
This is the innate talent of the sun elf.
Next to the charred corpses of several giant rats, Lin Yi found several things similar to green crystals.
——【Energy crystals: indispensable resources for the development of the territory, which can be obtained by killing enemies and mining veins. 】
"It takes one thousand energy crystals to upgrade the Tree of Life."
"Based on this explosion rate, it may not take long to get them together."
Lin Yi continued to move forward.
Two hours later, Lin Yi had killed nearly a hundred monsters, almost all of which were swamp rats, and only three monsters were stone pythons hidden in the rubble.
Stone pythons are intermediate monsters.
Adult stone pythons are about four meters long and are generally level five.
It didn't take Lin Yi much effort to kill three stone pythons. A fireball took care of the whole family.
"There are nearly a hundred monsters, but only sixteen have reached the third level."
"We have to keep working hard!"
"But the total harvest of energy crystals has reached more than seventy, and the collection speed is not slow."
As he spoke, Lin Yi walked into a weedy forest.
Thousands of years have passed, and many areas of the ancient city of elves are covered by similar forests. There are countless ancient trees that are a hundred meters high, and a large number of monsters have also spawned.
"With so many towering ancient trees, I don't know if there are tree people."
"Probably not."
"If there are, the old tree would have summoned them long ago."
Tree people are the guardians of elves and are born good partners.
If there are tree people around Lin Yi, both his own safety and the speed of hunting monsters can be greatly improved.
After entering the forest, Lin Yi used fireball magic to clear the way.
While killing the monsters hidden in the forest, he walked towards the depths of the forest.
Compared with the ruins outside, there are obviously more monsters in the forest.
Hunting here can speed up his task of unlocking the [Ancient War Tree].
