I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 11: I've cleared out all the monsters, what's the point of them not coming out?

Jiang Chen looked up and finally saw the source of the dark brown tree branch that had attacked him.

It was a branch from a towering tree. Frowning, Jiang Chen cast a detection spell on the tree.

Monster Name: SM-Whip Tree

"Level: 8"

"Monster Description: A strange tree with a peculiar habit of binding creatures. It has many branches and will bind any creatures that pass by and whip them continuously."

Jiang Chen's lips twitched; this big tree seemed to have some peculiar habits.

Wait a minute? Something's not right. Aren't we supposed to bind any passing creatures? Then why didn't we attack the skeleton army when it passed by?

Is it because skeleton warriors show no signs of life that they are not considered living beings?

However, it is natural for a person of flesh and blood to walk in, which is why they are attacked.

While Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, the long branch of the tree continued its attack.

Having already prepared himself, Jiang Chen immediately stepped back, distancing himself from the long whip and tree branch.

With two swish sounds, the long whip and branch stopped attacking Jiang Chen after they could no longer reach him.

"So that's it!"

Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks, as if he had just realized something, and understood.

"The designers of this dungeon really put a lot of thought into it!" The monsters at the beginning of the Loran Forest dungeon have all been weakened from their normal strength.

However, at the deepest point, this level 8 tree spirit is as strong as any monster in the wild.

The dungeon designers then screened the level 8 monsters and ultimately chose these plant-based monsters.

To allow new players to sense the danger of monsters in advance, the Treant has the ability to ambush.

It can make a novice more vigilant after their first attack.

Moreover, this long-whip tree spirit cannot move, so novices are not in danger in front of it.

As long as you keep a safe distance from the tree spirit, you will not be attacked.

After testing it, Jiang Chen was surprised to find that the skill casting range of magic-based classes was exactly the same as the attack range of the long-range treant's branches. This directly eliminated any possibility for ranged magic-based classes to use tricks or stand still and attack from a distance to whittle down these level 8 monsters!

It can be said that the level 8 monsters in front of them are the final test that the dungeon designers left for the new students.

These tree spirits are the monsters with attributes completely consistent with those in the wild, serving to smoothly transition new players between dungeons and the open world.

Newcomers can get the most training and growth in such dungeons and battles.

Jiang Chen didn't send the skeleton warriors out to search for more monsters. Now that they were here, there were probably no other monsters besides level 8 tree monsters.

He summoned back the skeleton warriors, and the seventeen skeleton warriors stood closely around him.

It looks very imposing, like it's surrounded by bodyguards.

Jiang Chen commanded one of the skeleton warriors wielding an axe to charge at the long-whip tree demon. Even as the skeleton warrior reached it, the tree demon's branches remained completely still.

It seems that summoned creatures cannot be considered living beings.

With a snap, the skeleton warrior's axe struck the tree spirit.

The tree spirit then reacted, whipping its long branches across the skeleton warrior's body and attempting to bind him.

Amidst the resounding thuds, like metal clashing, the skeleton warrior's steel-like defense rendered the long whip ineffective.

Whether it's physique, strength, or defense, the values ​​are all 550, so this level of whipping isn't even considered a tickle.

Jiang Chen was somewhat puzzled to see that the skeleton warrior couldn't kill the long whip branch with a single axe blow.

Logically speaking, after the Skeleton Warrior receives a perfect tenfold boost, its strength attribute should also surpass that of a level 8 monster.

That's it! His eyes lit up as he realized that this was the true strength of the monsters in the wild.

So he commanded the skeleton warriors to continue hacking and slashing, until they had landed four consecutive blows.

The whip-like tree just died.

"Kill SM-Whip Tree, experience points +200"

It's obvious that monsters of this strength provide far more experience than the previous level 7 monsters.

Although they offer a lot of experience, killing skeleton warriors is quite time-consuming.

It's faster to level up by killing level 7 monsters, but finding level 7 monsters is still a waste of time.

Looking at the lush, towering trees in front of me, all of them are level 8 whip-like trees.

Jiang Chen also figured it out. Forget about speed for now; the density of level 8 monsters here is extremely high. Here, the skeleton warriors don't need to specifically search for monsters; they'll just have to expend more axe blows to kill them.

It has to be said that the monsters here have met their nemesis when they encounter a necromancer like Jiang Chen.

With just a thought, the seventeen skeleton warriors scattered and charged into the whip-like tree grove.

He kept swinging his axe and short sword at the whip-like tree.

The experience points started to rise steadily once again.

While other students in the instance are still struggling to deal with monsters, Jiang Chen here is aided by seventeen skeleton warriors.

The speed at which experience is gained is actually getting faster and faster.

Wow!

After another 40 minutes, a faint golden light shone from Jiang Chen's body again; he had leveled up again, reaching level 6. Meanwhile, outside the dungeon, it was already evening, and the sky was gradually darkening.

Since entering the dungeon, all the students have been in the Loran Forest for about ten hours.

Once the 12-hour period is up, everyone will be automatically teleported out.

The principals of various high schools and Lu Weichuan, who were sitting in the rest area outside, were still quietly enjoying their fragrant tea.

At their current level, even if they meditated here for three days and three nights, they wouldn't experience a strong feeling of hunger.

Every year, these headmasters would wait outside when the students entered the beginner dungeon.

This is mainly to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.

Lu Weichuan stayed here because he wanted to see his daughter, Lu Qingyu, as soon as the 12 hours were over.

After all, he hadn't kept his promise to his daughter to attend the job transfer ceremony, and he didn't want to break his promise again this time.

Swish!

At that moment, a faint glow suddenly appeared at the exit of the Loran Forest instance.

A teacher exclaimed in surprise, "What? Has someone come out?"

They were somewhat panicked. Usually, the students inside wouldn't come out easily before the appointed time, as they all wanted to gain more experience inside.

Those who came out early may have encountered some kind of accident.

As the soft light shone through, Jiang Chen emerged from inside.

Cheng Rushan's expression changed. Jiang Chen's profession was hidden; could it be that it was too weak to last?

He asked anxiously.

"Jiang Chen, why did you come out so quickly!"

Jiang Chen calmly said, "After we've dealt with the monsters inside, we'll come out!"

!!!

Everyone present was taken aback.
