Next, he could only obediently run. After resting for a night in his birthplace, he set off again. When he returned to Moonlight Town, he found that many players had already arrived. Walking out of the town, he found that many players had already chosen their specialization.
For example, a Warrior could change into a Weapon Warrior who was good at using a variety of weapons with balanced attack and defense, a Berserker who was good at explosive power, commonly known as a Berserker, and a Defensive Warrior who was good at defense.
These were the three conventional Warrior routes. Like Mages, Warriors had a variety of rare specialization routes, such as the famous Magic Swordsman, Knights who could cooperate with their mounts, and so on.
Half a day later, he once again left Moonlight Town and entered Lightning Hills. This time, he walked during the day. He only encountered two monsters along the way and died once.
This time, he did not dare to seek death and obediently ran back to his corpse to resurrect.
Compared to Moonlight Town, which was a large forest, Lightning Hills was a typical mountainous terrain. At first glance, it was desolate. There were few plants on the rolling hills. The biggest wonder was that from time to time, he could see thick lightning falling from the sky in the distance. Even if it was a clear day, there were still thunderbolts.
According to the coordinates, he needed to go to the deepest part of Lightning Hills, where there were the most thunderbolts. There was no road there, so he had to pass through the wilderness full of monsters above level 30 …
"Motherf * cker, this is too outrageous!"
He had the intention to give up and go back to randomly choose a specialization.
But he had been running for so long, it was not worthwhile to give up directly. He could only bite the bullet and move forward.
Running along the road to the nearest point to the coordinates, he left the road and entered the wilderness.
In the distance, he saw the sand arching up a hundred meters away. Soon, a Sand Scorpion bigger than a tiger drilled out. After circling around, it looked at him motionlessly.
"The alert distance is so far?"
Looking at his current level, he smiled bitterly.
"Well, that's normal!"
This was the level suppression. This Sand Scorpion was level 32, and he was only level 11. The difference of 20 levels made it possible for the opponent to discover him from far away.
Just like when he was level 6 in the novice village, when he passed through level 1 and level 2 wild areas, he directly passed by a gray wolf. Not only did the gray wolf not attack him, but it also slightly avoided him.
He tried to go around the side a little, but after a few steps, the Sand Scorpion quietly crouched down and stared at him with a pair of brown eyes.
"Damn, I can't survive.
Lin Xiao simply retreated..... The Sand Scorpion stood up and stared at him.
"Forget it!"
He simply turned around. The difference in level was too great. It was simply impossible for him to pass through this wasteland and enter the depths of the Lightning Hills.
With a sigh, he got up and walked in the direction of the Sand Scorpion, ready to let the Sand Scorpion kill him and then directly resurrect in the cemetery between the hills and Moonlight Town, saving him a few hours of travel time.
The death penalty in this game depended on the method of resurrection. If you ran back to your corpse and resurrected, you would only lose 10% of your current level and a portion of your equipment would be damaged. In other words, the durability of the equipment would drop. If the durability dropped, the equipment would be scrapped and could not be used. You would have to spend a lot of money to repair it before you could use it again.
If they were resurrected by a resurrection spell, they would only damage some of their equipment and would not lose any EXP.
If he were to abandon his corpse and revive in the graveyard, or forcefully revive at the Hearthstone binding point like how his soul had declined, other than the loss of running back to his corpse to revive, he would also be weakened for ten minutes, and all his attributes would be reduced by 75%.
If he died once in the later stages of the game, he would definitely suffer heavy losses. However, his current level was low, and he was leveling up quickly. Losing 10% of his EXP was nothing, and he could quickly make up for it.
However, when the Sand Scorpion pounced on him and pressed him down, his vision turned black and then gray. Lin Xiao was stunned to find that he did not resurrect in the expected cemetery, but in another cemetery that he had never seen before.
"Damn it! I ran too far. "
There were several cemeteries on each map for players' souls to resurrect and run back to their corpses. Generally, souls would resurrect in the cemetery closest to the place where they died. Obviously, this cemetery was closer than the previous one.
This was awkward.
He opened the map speechlessly, but his eyes lit up. After a while, he said:
"Damn it, does this count as being at the end of the road, Willow's Shore and Blossom's Village?"
On the minimap, it showed that he resurrected directly in the middle of the Lightning Hills, which was quite close to the coordinates.
So close that …
Lin Xiao ran back to his corpse seven times in a row and finally found a huge stone tower.
The so-called corpse running was to rush out of the resurrection point as fast as possible. Don't be afraid of encountering monsters, continue to run until you die.
Then the soul would look for a corpse to resurrect. In the short few seconds of resurrection, the player would be in an invisible state and would not be attacked by monsters. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the player would continue to run out of the monster's alert range until they encountered the next monster and were killed, and then continue to run until they reached their destination.
This tower was located in the depths of the Lightning Hills where lightning was the most concentrated. Almost every few seconds, a thick lightning bolt would fall from the sky and hit the tower. Occasionally, more than a dozen lightning bolts would strike down at the same time. The scene was quite spectacular.
There were no monsters near the tower. He circled around the tower and only saw a closed stone door. At the door stood two huge stone beast statues with two huge sapphires for their eyes.
He approached the stone door, and the statue on the left lit up. The sapphires in the pupils looked at him and a voice sounded:
"Please show me your pass!"
"Pass?"
Lin Xiao was puzzled. The red light from the statue on the right shone on him. The red light was getting brighter and brighter, and Lin Xiao felt inexplicable palpitations.
"What pass?"
Seeing that the dangerous aura was getting stronger and stronger, he quickly took out the token he got from the Mage Mentor in Moonlight Town and handed it over. The red light flashed and disappeared, and the stone door quietly retracted:
"Pass detected, permission granted!"
Entering the tower, there was an empty hall. Two NPCs were chatting. One was called Junior Lightning Mage Phil, and the other was Intermediate Lightning Mage Dalia. On the side, a centaur servant was cleaning. Hearing the sound of the stone door opening, the two NPCs turned their heads. Junior Lightning Mage Phil said:
"I haven't seen a young apprentice for a long time. Are you here to learn lightning spells?"
Lin Xiao nodded seriously:
"Yes, I heard that lightning spells are very powerful, so I came from afar to learn."
Junior Lightning Mage Phil said with a smile:
"A wise choice. Now you can come to us to learn lightning spells."
"Can I learn now?"
"Yes, you can learn now."
This was really beyond Lin Xiao's expectations. Before, he thought there would be some kind of quest. He didn't expect to be able to learn directly.
But thinking about it carefully, it was normal. It was not a small test for a level 10 player to come here from the Novice Village and pass through a level 30 monster area. The real test had already been passed.
Then he talked with Phil. A light screen appeared in front of him, showing the various lightning spells he could learn.
Compared to other elements, there were not many lightning spells, but they were all powerful spells.
However, he was only level 11 now and could only learn four lightning spells, namely Chain Lightning, Lightning Shield, Lightning Strike, and Lightning Force Field.
And their levels were not high because he had no money to learn higher levels.
Level 2 Chain Lightning: Throw a lightning chain that can bounce four times to targets within 90 yards, causing 55-75 lightning damage to the first target. Damage to each target is reduced by 15%. Maximum of four targets.
Mana Consumption: 35, casting time: 2 seconds.
[Level 1 Lightning Shield]: Casts a Lightning Shield on yourself or a party member for 15 minutes. Reduces Lightning Damage by 50% and 120 Defense. Deals Lightning Damage equal to the caster's Intelligence * 0.6 to any melee attackers. Causes a slight paralysis effect that lasts for 3 seconds.
Mana Consumption: 45, instant cast, cooldown time: 15 seconds.
Level 1 Lightning Strike: Summon a lightning bolt to bombard enemies within 120 yards, causing 375 lightning damage and interrupting the target's casting.
Mana Consumption: 60, casting time: 3 seconds. Cooldown time: 5 seconds.
Level 1 Lightning Force Field: Summon a lightning ring to attack surrounding enemies, causing 128 lightning damage to all enemies within 60 yards, stunning them for 2 seconds and then paralyzing them for 4 seconds.
Mana Consumption: 60, instant cast, cooldown time: 10 seconds.
This was the effect of the Star Elf talent. Compared to other specializations, lightning spells were less but more powerful.
After he chose the specialization, the spells he learned before all disappeared. He only knew these four spells now. At the same time, his Class Talent Tree had been opened.
Lin Xiao opened his Talent Tree and found two. One was called Heaven's Wrath, and the other was Thunder God.
After carefully looking at the talents in the two Talent Trees, he understood what these two Talent Trees meant.
The Heaven's Wrath Talent Tree was a single-target burst.
The Thunder God Talent Tree was a large-scale group attack.
Both Talent Trees could be used at the same time, but because of the limited number of Talent Points, he was destined to focus on only one Talent Tree.
After looking at the two Talent Trees, Lin Xiao decided to take the Thunder God Talent Tree route.
At the beginning, there were two Talent Tree options, namely Lightning Extension and Enhanced Chain Lightning.
Lightning Extension had a total of five levels. Every level increased the range of lightning spells by 1 yard.
Enhanced Chain Lightning had a total of three levels. Every level increased an additional target.
There was no need to consider this. He already had three times the range advantage, so why would he use this? He directly chose Enhanced Chain Lightning, adding two additional targets. Two levels of Chain Lightning could eject four targets. Now, he could eject six.
After learning the skills, he couldn't learn new ones for the time being. He directly used his Hearthstone to teleport to Moonlight Town.
Learning from his previous lesson, he bound his Hearthstone to Moonlight Town.
After 10 seconds of continuous casting, he appeared in Moonlight Town's inn. A burst of brisk music entered his ears. The inn was full of people, both NPCs and players.
After wasting a few days, many players had already caught up in level and came here.
There were even more people in the square outside the inn. There was a small box under his eyelids. This was a variety of channels. At this time, the regional channel was full of messages from players. Some were chatting, some were forming parties, some were trading, and so on. Among them, the one that attracted his attention the most was a message about forming a party to raid a dungeon.
