Xu Mu had broken many samurai swords into pieces in his previous life. Its value only lies in the cushion.
But right now, the average person doesn’t even have enough white clothes.
A piece of blue quality equipment is extremely precious.
Without saying a word, he replaced it and threw the rusty katana into his backpack.
The attack power has more than tripled!
Pull over another goblin and do a set of three consecutive attacks.
12!
10!
twenty three!
Not only did the damage soar to double digits, but the third hit was a critical hit!
A set of normal attacks has increased the damage to nearly 50 points.
You know, a level 2 goblin only has 100 health points in total.
After changing weapons, two or three sets of normal attacks can almost take down a goblin.
Compared to the previous time when it took nearly 20 cuts to kill one, this improvement is undoubtedly huge.
If it weren't for the Purgatory Mode blocking him, Xu Mu even doubted that he could kill them all with one sword.
"Level 2 Goblins are no longer of much benefit to me. I need to explore deeper and catch up faster."
While pondering in his mind, Xu Mu called out the skill panel again.
I just upgraded and was awarded 10 SP points, which allows me to learn some basic skills. (I made a slight adjustment to the SP, so that I can learn a skill once for every point)
Different from other players who like to max out a single skill, use a skill to attack and then move away to wait for the CD.
Xu Mu chose to treat everyone equally.
Upward +1
Three-segment slash +1
Cross Slash +1
Wave Breaker +1
Block +1
Jump back +1
In one go, learn all the common skills of the Ghost Swordsman that had not yet been transferred to another job.
Then, Xu Mu walked towards the depths of the forest with a knife in hand.
As we went deeper, the surrounding environment changed from grassland to swamp. The rotten mud constantly surged with poisonous bubbles, and the surrounding trees gradually rotted and emitted a foul smell.
By this point, the number of other players had begun to dwindle.
When we occasionally encounter them, they are always a group of players who have reached at least level three, and they work together to carefully pull the monsters to fight.
In the swamp area, in addition to the goblins' higher levels, you can also see the shadow of the cat demon.
Take a quick glance at its properties.
【Mutated Cat Demon】
[Level: 5]
[Attack: 15~20]
[HP: 1000]
[Description: A type of monster with high speed and agility]
[Guaranteed drop: Gold Coins (1~3)]
[Probability of dropping: worn fur, demon cat claws, level 5 white quality equipment, extremely low probability of dropping blue quality equipment]
Just as Xu Mu was investigating the properties, a cry of surprise came from his ear.
"Shit, its hatred is off the hook! Run!"
Xu Mu glanced sideways and found that a hundred meters away, a three-person team consisting of a guardian, a sharpshooter and a priest were carefully pulling two cat monsters to attack.
The guardian holds the shield and stands at the front, the sharpshooter shoots from a distance, and the priest provides a little help from time to time.
The lineup was reasonable.
As a result, the guardian failed to attract hatred in time, causing the cat demon to rush towards the main output shooter.
The two cat monsters attacked with two claws at an incredibly fast speed, instantly reducing the fragile gunner to half health.
When the priest is at a low level in the early stage, he only has one level 1 healing spell to use, and his health cannot be raised for a while.
The lineup was in chaos.
Soon, the fragile gunner died under the group attack of the cat demons and turned into a white light and teleported back to the town of Alvin.
When the priests and guardians saw that their main output was gone, they decisively broke away from the hatred and chose to give up.
"He's already died once today. If he dies again, he's really gone. Let's go."
"Well, that's the only way. It's just a pity..."
"It's mainly because we were too greedy. It's a bit of a stretch for three people to fight two cat demons. We should have fought them one by one."
As the two chatted, they glanced at the half-blood cat demon behind them with regret.
For level 5 monsters, the probability of dropping white equipment has increased a lot.
Moreover, each monster drops a fixed amount of gold coins. If we kill these two, we can have a big dinner tonight.
But unfortunately, the main C died and the output of the remaining two people was almost zero.
Just getting ready to leave.
Suddenly, they saw a man in a white windbreaker, holding a weapon emitting a dim blue light, running past the two of them quickly.
The target was the two cat demons whose health had been reduced by half.
"He wants to take advantage of the situation?" The Guardian player frowned, looking a little unhappy.
It felt like a girl you've been pursuing for half a year but still haven't gotten her, but now she's being taken to a hotel with a guy you've only known for one day. You can't tell how miserable you feel.
The priest shook his head and said, "We can no longer defeat them, so there is no such thing as robbing them. If he can kill them, then they will naturally be his."
After a pause, the priest looked in Xu Mu's direction again.
"But...he's only level 2, and he's alone. How could he possibly defeat two cat demons? What is he thinking?"
"Because of greed." The guardian simply did not leave, crossed his arms, and said jokingly as if he was watching a good show: "Since ancient times, greedy people will die suddenly."
At this moment, the cat demon, which had originally broken away from the hatred, turned around and attacked quickly when it saw a player approaching again.
Xu Mu held a samurai sword in his hand, stepped forward and raised his arms high!
Upward strike!
The two cat demons suddenly floated in the air!
"Start with a pick? That shows some common sense, unlike those idiots we just met." The guardian was a little surprised.
This three-person team is able to venture into the swamp area, so they are naturally more talented than other ordinary players.
Along the way, they have really encountered many players who regard the uppercut as a key skill, and always want to use the uppercut to cancel the big afterswing of the last hit of the migrant worker's three-hit combo, otherwise they would feel at a loss.
Xu Mu raised his hand and took the lead in floating in the air to avoid himself from getting hurt, which made the guardian praise him.
Soon, the guardian saw Xu Mu grabbing the timing of the cat demon's falling and launched a horizontal attack.
Flat cut!
Flat cut!
After two normal attacks, his arms shook continuously at a slight angle, quickly drawing a blood-red cross on his chest that charged forward.
Cross slash!
The force of the skill pushed the cat demon, which was about to fall to the ground, forward a distance.
The monster was still floating in the air and had no way to fight back.
"This kid has quite a good technique." The priest said in surprise, "If you don't grasp the timing of the monster's fall correctly, the cross slash may miss."
For a level 2 player, this should be a skill he has just learned.
He knows the combo of upward attack + first part of normal attack + cross slash, and he has a good grasp of the timing, which means he has a strong understanding.
"No big deal, just play according to the normal rules. After three normal attacks, the monster should be stunned and forced to fall to the ground." The Guardian, as the captain of the small team, was an S-level player in the Northern Alliance circle before entering the dungeon. He had good comprehension and understanding, and could quickly sniff out the core gameplay of the dungeon, as well as the combination of various abilities.
He had seen too many Ghost Swordsman professions along the way. There were only a few initial skills, and no matter how they were matched, there was no way to make them work. There was nothing much to say.
As the guardian said, Xu Mu did so.
After the cross slash, he rushed forward quickly, looked up to confirm the position of the floating cat monster, and seized the opportunity to launch three normal attacks again!
The flashes of swords and sabers poured out in an instant!
After three normal attacks, the monster was already suspended in the air and was about to fall to the ground.
The Guardian shook his head.
"Let's go. There's nothing to see. In this skill vacuum period, his fate will be the same as ours, fleeing in embarrassment..."
Before the word "escape" could be uttered, the guardian's pupils suddenly contracted!
"How..." reflected in his incredible eyes.
The cat demon that had already landed.
However, Xu Mu lifted up the sword with great force, causing sparks to fly from the ground!
Pull it up from the ground again!
A deep purple halo surrounded the sword tip, spinning at high speed like a round razor, with multiple bursts of damage popping up frequently!
Wave-splitting slash!
"Damn! Can it be connected like this?" The guardian's eyes widened with surprise as if he had seen a new world.
But for Xu Mu, this set of operations was already a combo technique that he had mastered many times.
The Wave Slash has a slight monster-absorbing effect, which can forcibly grab monsters from the ground.
This move is based on the same principle as Berserker's move of grabbing the monster's head immediately after stunning it.
Moreover, it has another benefit, which is to recalculate the stiffness.
The monster was essentially already lying on the ground, but was pulled up again by the Rift Wave.
But this scene is the first time that players who have just entered the continent of Arad have seen it, so it is quite novel.
"However, the height that Wave Breaker pulls the monster to is not high enough to float in the air, and it will fall to the ground again immediately. In other words, this combo can add a little more damage to Wave Breaker and... it looks cool, but the effect is not very significant. It is better to keep the invincible time when Wave Breaker is cast to avoid damage." The guardian was quickly analyzing Xu Mu's operation, but what happened next once again refreshed his three views!
The Wave Slash can only pull the monster to about the height of the player's waist. At this distance, the monster falls to the ground too quickly, and there is no time to connect with other skills.
But Xu Mu took a step forward and directly activated the three-stage slash!
For the first attack, charge forward and let the monster be hit, maintaining the current floating height without falling.
The second attack followed closely, moving diagonally upwards, raising the monster's floating height.
Until the cat demon's body completely exceeds the sword's edge.
The third blow was raised high like a spoon!
Floating again!
This scene almost made the eyes of two players not far away pop out.
At most, they can hit the monster once and it will float in the air before they are forced to move away and wait for the monster to become stiff.
That's how everyone plays.
How come you went against the rules and hit the air twice?
"How much more damage does this do compared to the regular combo? My Guigui..." the priest asked blankly.
"I...I don't know either..."
What the two of them didn't expect was that
Two floats are not the end.
But start!
After the three-section slash knocked the two cat demons into the air, Xu Mu leaped lightly into the air and slashed in a circular arc.
Then he pointed the sword at the ground and dropped it diagonally.
Silver blade falling!
Bang!
The force of the fall created a shock wave, which sent the cat demon flying into the air again!
Immediately connect with three horizontal cuts.
Then, the cooling CD of the upward attack has been turned on.
Use it decisively!
Xu Mu began to repeat the initial operation, entering an infinite loop of combos.
Throughout the entire process, the angles of each of his sword thrusts were almost impeccable.
The afterswing caused by each action can be canceled out by him using other skills extremely smoothly, truly achieving the goal of not wasting a single second of output time!
And he seemed to have memorized the cooldown time of the skill in his mind.
It's a perfect seamless connection! There's no sticky feeling in the whole process! (To explain, even in the real copy, there is a backswing, that is, the process of you punching out and then pulling back the fist is also the backswing time.)
The contempt on the two players' faces had long since disappeared, replaced by wide-open mouths and hugely dilated pupils.
stunned!
Completely dumbfounded!
They even forgot why they were standing there.
Just watching his smooth operation is like appreciating art, which makes people intoxicated and enjoyable.
However, when he took over, the Thousand Blood Cat Demon only had half of its blood left.
His sword dance only lasted for a few minutes.
Then the curtain fell.
The two cat demons died in the air.
"Is it over? Tsk." The guardian came back to his senses and even felt a little regretful in his heart, smacking his lips with a feeling of unsatisfied feeling.
This was the first time in all the years he had been playing dungeons that he felt monsters died too quickly.
The powerful viewing experience is so fascinating that you can’t stop.
Being able to kill monsters with such beauty.
Both the Guardian and the Clergyman were impressed by Xu Mu's operation from the bottom of their hearts.
"I feel like I may not be able to fully understand this operation even if I watch it a hundred times..."
"Is this the gifted monster? This dungeon has only been open for less than an hour..."
"If we could learn 1/10 of his skills, we wouldn't be in such a mess."
Just when the two were full of admiration.
The two cat demons died suddenly, and their bodies quickly weathered away.
Crash!
The colorful spoils fell all over the ground!
The two players were stunned again.
There were seven or eight sheets of precious cat demon fur spread out on the ground.
There are more than ten kinds of materials such as Cat Demon Claws that can be submitted to the town NPC to obtain a fixed small amount of experience.
There are about twenty or thirty round, golden coins densely packed together!
What's even more outrageous is that the two cat demons dropped three white items and one blue item...
"This... this... this... hiss!!" The guardian was so shocked by the scene that he couldn't even speak. It took him a long time to gasp for a breath of cold air.
"Was he fighting the BOSS just now?" The priest was also confused.
Although the two had never killed a cat demon, they had fought against the level 4 monster before.
On average, you'd be lucky if each monster could produce 1 gold coin.
As for the materials dropped by monsters, three to five can only give one material, which is considered a burst of luck.
Finally got to this point.
How come two cat demons only dropped the amount that only a boss would drop...
The guardian's previous expression of admiration disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, he wanted to bite his back teeth to pieces.
A person who is stronger than you, he is luckier than you...
Brothers, I am dying this time!
…
Xu Mu quickly picked up all the dropped items and put them into his backpack.
From just now, there were two players standing not far behind me, discussing secretly.
However, this copy is not opened by their family after all, and Xu Mu is not a tyrannical and unreasonable person, so they can stand wherever they want.
As long as they don't steal your things, it's fine.
Otherwise, let them also try the infinite connection in the air.
He quickly counted the loot in his backpack.
A total of 23 gold coins were obtained, and after the buff, another 230 gold coins were credited.
The deposit has increased to nearly 2,500 gold!
According to the current market price, about 1 gold can buy a full meal in the town of Elwynn, 2 gold can buy the cheapest hotel, and 8 gold can buy a low-level white outfit from the auction house.
2500 gold is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
Xu Mu planned to use up these extra materials after returning to the city.
In the early stages, players level up quickly, so these low-level materials are not worth keeping as treasures.
Submit the side quests when it’s time to do so, and sell them at a low price when it’s time to do so.
"As for experience, at my level 2, killing a level 5 cat demon can already provide about 15% of the experience bar. The rewards for killing monsters above your level are indeed extraordinary. Even when the experience is reduced tenfold, it is still so generous."
"It seems that this place is quite suitable for leveling up at this stage."
Xu Mu pondered to himself and started looking for a new cat demon again.
Half an hour later.
“Swish!”
Another white light shot up into the sky.
Relying on skillful techniques, he killed the cat demon here for half an hour without any damage.
Xu Mu's level at this time has successfully reached level 5.
Distribute 50 SP points evenly among general skill points, and the average level of several skills such as Cross Slash will reach level 5.
Moreover, all his equipment was replaced with blue equipment.
Compared to the scraping sword technique half an hour ago.
Now, just one skill is enough to deal forty to fifty points of damage.
If you are lucky enough to trigger a critical hit, you can hit three digits with one skill!
Combined with other skills, Xu Mu can basically kill a thousand-blood cat demon with one set of skills! It won't take more than 10 seconds.
Thousand Blood Cat Demon, the current T2 player needs at least two people to team up and fight for one minute.
Players in the T1 queue can kill the cat monster quickly alone.
But you have to know that the cat demon that Xu Mu faced was ten times the normal difficulty.
The difficulty of the two is completely different.
Taking a quick glance at the rankings, Xu Mu's ranking had soared from over 18,000 to 289th!
Currently, the player ranked first in the Novice Village is a player with the ID 'Xifandi'.
His profession is fighting, and he is far ahead with 37% experience at level 8.
I have to say that players in normal mode, where there are no restrictions on experience gain, can level up quickly.
This made Xu Mu somewhat envious.
But once your profession's training level is raised, you will be able to kill monsters at higher levels, and then the experience you have fallen behind will naturally catch up quickly.
After closing the ranking list, Xu Mu looked at his remaining fatigue value.
33/100
Fatigue value is of utmost importance in the dungeon and determines the upper limit of the player's upgrade speed.
The fatigue value mode in the copy is somewhat different from the DNF game that Xu Mu has played.
In the game, the daily fixed fatigue is 156. Black diamonds can increase it to an additional 188 fatigue, and then combined with various fatigue medicines.
It's not surprising for a kryptonian to spend 500 fatigue points a day.
But in the dungeon, each player's initial fatigue is fixed at 100 points.
Each time you kill a monster, 1 fatigue point is consumed, and it cannot be automatically restored.
After killing 100 monsters, you will enter a state of fatigue, and the benefits of killing monsters will be reduced to only one thousandth. The player's own attributes will also be greatly reduced, just like a normal person will be exhausted after a day's work.
As for resting in the inn, the only known way to recover fatigue is to rest in the inn (you don't have to sleep, you can sit or play games, you just have to stay in the inn, and you can recover 1 point of fatigue every 5 minutes. 12 points in an hour, 96 points in 8 hours.)
All that's left is to take fatigue pills.
However, Xu Mu did not find any trace of this thing in the auction house.
Moreover, in the copy , Xu Mu did not find the entrance to the mall interface.
I think the krypton gold mechanism has been cancelled.
But think about it, the auction house has always been a killer weapon that separates high-end players from low-end players.
There is another mall entrance, and all gift packs can be purchased with gold coins.
The bottom players would rather not live.
"It seems that there should be another way to obtain fatigue medicine, but no one knows it yet."
"But after the next turn, we can go to the main city of Hermadon and try our luck at the Moonlight Tavern. I remember that Sosia seemed to have sold fatigue medicine before. I wonder if there will be any changes in the dungeon."
Putting the idea aside for the moment, Xu Mu began to plan the last 33 points of fatigue he had on hand.
Since the fatigue value is limited, the higher the level of the monster killed, the greater the benefit will be.
"How about trying to hunt a BOSS?" Xu Mu thought.
It has been more than an hour since he entered the dungeon, and he has not yet officially challenged the BOSS in the Loran Forest area.
The main reason was that his health bar and defense were too weak just now. With a BOSS that was ten times stronger, he could die instantly if he made a mistake once, so Xu Mu had to be cautious.
"But now I should be able to reach the threshold of the BOSS. I am level 5 and wearing blue clothes. My health has reached nearly a thousand points, and my defense has reached 100+. Even if I make a mistake and get hit by the BOSS, I should not be killed instantly on the spot."
"Well, let's go back to the city first, replenish some mana and blood medicine, and go to the quest office to accept the quest to challenge the BOSS and get double the reward."
When Xu Mu first followed Celia back to the town, he passed by the mission office and went in to inquire.
The BOSS in the dungeon world is different from ordinary monsters and will not be randomly refreshed in the forest.
If players want to fight the BOSS, they must go to the mission office and accept the mission. Only then will the BOSS appear at the corresponding location in the forest.
In this way, every player has a chance to defeat the BOSS, and will not be left alone watching the BOSS being snatched away by others.
But you also have to be wary of a special situation - after the player starts the BOSS mission, other players forcefully interrupt and take over the BOSS.
This requires players to decide and judge the risks on their own.
When the adventure group level is 1, players can only kill the BOSS once a day.
In addition to returning to the city to accept tasks and purchase blood medicine, Xu Mu also planned to do another big thing.
Strengthen your weapons!
Compared to the current average deposit of only a dozen gold coins per person.
He was already thirsting for the huge sum of 5,000 gold in his pocket!
