Chapter 88: Skill Training Paradise
A huge explosion rang out.
Sand flew everywhere.
The Oasis Giant Scorpions were blasted into the air, wrapped in sand.
Their corpses tumbled through the air.
Skills were used one after another.
Explosions sounded continuously.
Craters appeared one after another.
Sand rained down, burying the exploded Oasis Giant Scorpions.
Loads of experience was gained.
Lin Moyu stored the materials in his storage space.
Experience skyrocketed again.
Each monster gave as much experience as thousands of small spiders from Spider’s Nest.
Just this one wave of monsters increased his experience by 8%.
"Awesome!" Lin Moyu exclaimed inwardly.
He hadn’t expected to level up so quickly even after level 20.
If he could keep blasting monsters like this, leveling up would be as easy as eating and drinking.
Monsters that others had to carefully and laboriously kill,
Were as easy as cutting vegetables for Lin Moyu.
Experience truly rained down like drops.
Not just experience, but also loads of materials.
In the blink of an eye, the monsters around the oasis were cleared out.
Lin Moyu followed the skeleton warriors along the waterway.
The winding waterway flowed into the distance. Lin Moyu didn’t know if this was the right direction.
But for now, it was the only path available.
Everywhere else was endless yellow sand, impossible to distinguish direction.
Large numbers of Oasis Giant Scorpions lurked along both sides of the waterway, their bodies buried in the sand with only their tails exposed.
From afar, they looked like rows of spikes.
As the skeleton warriors advanced, these spikes were eliminated one by one, leaving only corpses behind.
While advancing, many skeleton warriors also spread out to the sides.
They moved in the same direction as Lin Moyu, clearing out the ghost trees hidden in the desert.
There weren’t too many, but it was still experience.
The Tyrant Desert map was truly huge.
After advancing along the waterway for over an hour, other scenery finally appeared in view.
A not-very-tall mountain peak appeared at the end of the waterway.
Lin Moyu now understood why other teams progressed so slowly.
First was finding the way, second was dealing with these Oasis Giant Scorpions along the route.
Each one was as strong as boss-level monsters in other dungeons.
For normal teams, even a full 40-person team would need a lot of time to clear through.
The waterway flowed to its end and disappeared underground.
Some sparse vegetation appeared ahead, all cacti.
Large numbers of ants crawled beside the cacti.
Not ordinary ants - each ant was over a meter long with protruding fangs.
Each foot had barbs like sharp blades.
[Desert Young Ant (Enhanced Elite Monster)]
[Level: 25]
[Strength: 2500]
[Agility: 2000]
[Spirit: 1000]
[Constitution: 3000]
[Skill: None]
Weaker than the Desert Giant Scorpions, they were enhanced elite monsters, similar to Nightmare difficulty monsters in same-level dungeons.
But the numbers...
And these were just young ants...
Ants were a very large group.
They had strict hierarchies and clear divisions of labor.
Young ants were just the weakest group.
If even young ants were enhanced elite monsters,
Then the worker ants and soldier ants above them...
Lin Moyu became alert, sensing huge amounts of experience coming his way.
Detection had already attracted their attention.
Several young ants raised their heads to look at Lin Moyu.
The next second, they charged over with a shrill cry.
They were very fast, seeming to exceed the speed of 2000 agility.
But the skeleton warriors were faster.
Several skeleton warriors blocked them, swinging their blades.
With two cracks, they were instantly killed without any suspense.
The attribute gap was too large.
With 12,000 in all attributes, the skeleton warriors had completely overwhelming combat power.
The skeleton warriors charged out, killing all the nearby young ants without exception.
[Killed Level 25 Desert Young Ant, Experience +50000]
[Obtained Ant Fang x3]
[Killed Level 25 Desert Young Ant, Experience +50000]
[Obtained Ant Fang x3]
Experience steadily increased.
Over 4 hours had passed since entering the dungeon.
Experience had risen to 15%.
Later there were no more monster groups, just scattered ones, so efficiency naturally decreased.
"What’s this?"
Lin Moyu walked over and saw peculiar-looking cacti.
Small fruits hung on the cacti.
Deep blue fruits that looked like grapes, glistening temptingly.
When in doubt, use Detection.
[Desert Fruit]
[Quickly restores large amounts of spirit power. Must be consumed within 5 minutes of picking, cannot be stored.]
Just then, squeaking sounds were heard.
Large numbers of young ants burrowed out of the ground, quickly surrounding him.
Over a hundred of them.
The young ants let out angry cries at Lin Moyu, seeming to warn him to stay away from the desert fruits.
The skeleton warriors’ blades answered them.
Lin Moyu looked ahead and saw a tall mountain blocking the way.
Steep cliffs, difficult terrain to climb.
At the foot of the mountain were several cave entrances.
Ants seemed to be at the entrances.
Ant nests...
Lin Moyu realized this was an ant colony.
To pass through the mountain, they had to enter the ant nests.
But there were five cave entrances ahead, unclear which was the correct passage.
With a thought, fifty skeleton warriors split into five groups, each heading to a different cave.
Lin Moyu himself picked a desert fruit and popped it in his mouth.
The desert fruit wasn’t as sour as imagined, but had a hint of sweetness.
It tasted quite good.
The texture and shape were similar to grapes.
His spirit power had been half depleted.
After eating the desert fruit, his spirit power began rapidly recovering.
Very quickly, in less than a minute, his spirit power was almost fully restored.
Lin Moyu couldn’t help but look shocked.
His total spirit power was 2900.
With the spirit equipment set, his spirit power was at least double that of mages at the same level.
The effect of the desert fruit was too good.
The recovery speed was ten times faster than meditating in the Skill Training Hall.
Looking at the patches of special cacti with loads of desert fruits hanging on them,
He made a quick decision.
Skeleton mages were summoned one after another.
His nearly full spirit power was rapidly consumed again.
After depleting all his spirit power, Lin Moyu dismissed all the summoned skeleton mages.
The desert fruit’s effect hadn’t worn off yet, and his spirit power was still recovering rapidly.
When some spirit power recovered, Lin Moyu started summoning skeleton mages again.
When the effect wore off completely, he ate another desert fruit and continued waiting for spirit power to recover.
Skeleton mages appeared and disappeared constantly.
This place had become the best spot for Lin Moyu to train skills.
Just for this alone, Lin Moyu felt the trip was worth it.
Without worrying about spirit power consumption, skill training progressed extremely fast.
While he trained skills, the skeleton warriors had charged into the ant nests.
2000 meters was the straight-line distance, not affected by complex terrain.
There were even more ants inside the ant nests.
[Killed Desert Ant]
[Obtained Ant Fang x3]
[Killed Desert Ant]
[Obtained Ant Fang x6]
Soon after entering the caves, the skeleton warriors encountered desert worker ants.
Judging by the experience, desert worker ants were clearly super enhanced elite monsters.
And they were level 26, giving even more experience.
Lin Moyu stopped managing the skeleton warriors, letting them fight and explore freely.
He focused entirely on skill training.
After over a hundred consecutive summons of skeleton mages, the skill finally reached level 3.
But this was just the beginning.
Lin Moyu was having too much fun to stop. How could he miss such a great place?
This was truly a skill training paradise.
Time passed bit by bit as Lin Moyu trained skills non-stop, summoning recklessly.
Desert fruits were consumed one after another, keeping his spirit power in a state of rapid recovery.
Ten minutes later, the skill leveled up again.
The speed was incomparably faster than in the Skill Training Hall.
In the ant nests, the skeleton warriors kept exploring and advancing, gradually completing the map.
Experience also kept increasing, now reaching 17%.
Three hours later, Lin Moyu slowly stopped.
The desert fruits were mostly eaten, and he had leveled the Summon Skeleton Mage skill to 20.
It couldn’t be leveled further.
Lin Moyu checked the skeleton mage’s attributes, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
[Silver-grade Skeleton Mage]
[Strength: 6000]
[Agility: 6000]
[Spirit: 24000]
[Constitution: 6000]
[Skill: Ice Storm]
[Ice Storm: Forms an ice storm in an area, dealing ice elemental damage to targets. Attack power based on spirit.]
An ice-element skeleton mage stood before him.
Cold light flickered on its two palms.
Ice chunks appeared and dissipated constantly.
The sound of cracking ice could be heard from time to time.
After 30x amplification, its spirit reached 24000.
Lin Moyu could imagine how terrifying the skeleton mage’s attack power would be.
And its skill, Ice Storm, was an area attack skill.
Lin Moyu pointed in a direction, ordering it to use the skill.
The skeleton mage thrust out both palms, shooting out a beam of cold light.
