Chapter 15
Crack! The Goblin Minion couldn't block and was struck by the Skeleton Warrior's axe.
The Goblin Minion yelled in pain, angrily swinging its Wolf Fang Club in a desperate counterattack.
Both sides began a sawing fight, you strike me once, I chop you once.
The Goblin Minion's Wolf Fang Club struck the Skeleton Warrior's body, causing no pain or itch, unable to inflict any damage.
Instead, the Skeleton Warrior's axe struck the Goblin Minion, blood spurting.
Soon, after five or six blows, the Goblin Minion died miserably on the ground.
「Defeating Goblin Minion, Experience Value +400」
Jiang Chen saw something dropping on the ground, his mind stirred.
「Drop: Goblin Bone」
Jiang Chen picked it up into his bag; after changing jobs, every profession receives a bag space that expands with level.
Inside it can store various equipment, materials, and items produced from cooking side professions.
Jiang Chen also had a sudden idea, wanting to put the Skeleton Warrior inside, but it failed.
After killing that Goblin Minion, Jiang Chen also tested the strength of a Level 10 monster.
It was merely a matter of the Skeleton Warrior striking a few more times, so he directly released all 28 Skeleton Warriors.
He still issued them the orders to seek out monsters and kill them.
After the Skeleton Warriors emerged, they immediately began searching for monsters in the surroundings.
After all, the outskirts are a naturally formed area, with monster density far exceeding that of the man-made Newbie Dungeon.
Jiang Chen felt as if he had entered a heaven of leveling, his experience soaring rapidly.
「Defeating Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, Experience Value +250」
「Defeating Goblin Warrior, Experience Value +
400」
「Defeating Silver-horned Rhinoceros, Experience Value +160」
Not only was Experience Value soaring, but monsters also kept dropping various materials and items.
Jiang Chen followed the Skeletons' steps while gathering these materials into his bag.
The Experience bar rose every second; Jiang Chen felt reaching Level 8 would take only about half an hour.
He felt fortunate that his decision to come to the outskirts was indeed correct.
At this rate, reaching Level 15 by the time of the college entrance exam would be no problem.
However, the specifics still need to be seen: after Level 10, will the required Experience for leveling suddenly increase a lot?
Some nearby professionals, upon seeing Skeleton Warriors appear, were startled.
This place mainly has Goblins as monsters; how did so many Death Spirit Skeletons suddenly appear?
Death Spirit Skeletons are high-level monsters; dealing with them is quite laborious.
Only after investigation did they discover they were Summoned Entities.
Summoner professions are naturally popular; those who noticed the Skeleton Warriors began tracking them.
They wanted to locate the Summoner's position through tracking.
Jiang Chen also quickly realized this; he is only Level 8, of course he cannot let people notice him.
Seeing that he had been noticed, Jiang Chen thought for a moment and directly commanded the Skeleton Warriors to go deep into the forest.
The forest is fraught with danger and poor visibility; ordinary professionals rarely venture here.
But these dangers are nothing to Jiang Chen.
As he drove the Skeletons through the forest, a map of this area also formed in his mind.
On this map, every tiny blade of grass and tree can be seen clearly,
As long as the Skeleton Warriors have explored a place, there are no secrets for Jiang Chen.
Half an hour later, a faint golden light rose on his body, and he reached Level 8.
The 28 Skeleton Warriors were like tireless perpetual motion machines, faithfully carrying out Jiang Chen's commands.
Constantly slaughtering, Jiang Chen reaped a double harvest of Experience Value and dropped materials!
I doubt any professional in this world can level up as easily as he does.
Magic Class Professionals usually see their Spiritual Power gradually depleted after casting spells, and it's not easy to fully replenish once depleted.
Physical Class Professionals also gradually become fatigued after prolonged combat, their condition slowly declining.
To continue killing monsters and leveling up, one must rest or meditate.
But Jiang Chen's Skeleton Warriors need no rest; as long as their master lives, they will never die.
Half an hour later, Jiang Chen gazed at this empty forest.
「No monsters left? 」
All the monsters have been cleared out by him.
How short a time this is! Jiang Chen felt shocked—have the Skeleton Warriors really slaughtered all the monsters?
To find monsters, Jiang Chen had no choice but to go deeper.
All the way fighting monsters and leveling up, he has now drifted far from Baiyun City, even without noticing himself.
Along the way, even if he couldn't find Level 10 monsters, he would still kill those above Level 10 without hesitation.
Along the route, monsters of Levels 11 to 13 began to appear; Jiang Chen directly ordered the Skeleton Warriors to kill them.
The Skeleton Warriors' thinking attribute is terrifying; even when encountering high-level monsters, it's merely a matter of chopping a few more times.
Know that Jiang Chen is only Level 8, but just like a locust swarm passing through,
like, not a single monster encountered along the way could survive.
As the sky was about to darken, Jiang Chen's level also rose to Level 9, the Experience Bar's status was not far from reaching Level 10.
Around him, the skeletons had also been summoned, nearly forty of them, looking like a black mass.
He eagerly anticipated reaching Level 10, for upon reaching Level 10 he would be able to learn a new skill.
However, he first needed to obtain a Skill Scroll, but the problem was that Jiang Chen currently had no Skill Scroll.
He could only seek opportunities to get a Skill Scroll, but even without a scroll, it would not hinder his leveling.
In this world, professionals can learn a new skill every time they level up by ten.
There are two ways to learn a new skill: either someone personally teaches you, or you learn through Skill Books and Skill Scrolls.
But Jiang Chen's profession is the never-before-seen Necromancer Summoner, so there is no mentor who could teach him.
Even learning from a Skill Scroll would be a luxury; Jiang Chen had browsed the prices of Skill Scrolls in the Profession Trading Hall when he left the city.
The Skill Scrolls for Level 10 and Level 20 cost around 100,000 Gold Coins each, which to him was an astronomical price!
Skill Scrolls can grant the skills of one's profession, but they also come with a problem.
That is the nature of Skill Scrolls: the skill learned is random, which creates another possibility.
There is a chance you will learn a skill you already know; if that happens, it means your 100,000 Gold Coins are completely wasted.
Every ten levels, the later it gets, the more expensive Skill Scrolls become—basically an astronomical price Jiang Chen dare not even imagine.
But what can be done? For Jiang Chen to learn a new skill, this is the only way.
Whoosh
!
At that moment, a faint golden light shone from Jiang Chen's body.
He had finally reached Level 10, and could now learn a new skill...
