The next thing to do was to run away honestly. After resting for a night at the birthplace, I set out again. When I returned to Moonlight Town, I found that many players had already come here. When I walked out of the town, I found that many players had already chosen to specialize.
For example, a warrior can change his job to become a weapons warrior who is good at using various weapons and has a balanced offense and defense, a fury warrior who is good at bursting out, commonly known as a berserker, and a defensive warrior who is good at defense.
These are the three conventional warrior routes. Like mages, warriors have various rare specialization routes, such as the famous magic swordsman, the knight who can fight in coordination with mounts, and so on.
Half a day later, he left Moonlight Town again and entered Lightning Hills. This time he traveled during the day. He only encountered monsters twice along the way and died once.
This time I didn't dare to commit suicide, I just ran away and resurrected.
Compared to Moonlight Town which is a large forest, Lightning Hill is a typical Yibi hill terrain. It looks desolate at first glance, with few grasses and trees on the undulating hills. The biggest wonder is that from time to time in the distance, thick lightning can be seen falling from the sky, and even in broad daylight, there can be bolts from the blue.
According to the coordinates, the place he needed to go was in the deepest part of Lightning Hill where there were the most thunderbolts. There was no road there, so he had to cross the wilderness filled with monsters above level 30.
"Damn, this is too outrageous!"
He was thinking of giving up and just choosing a specialization at random.
But we have been running for so long, it is not worth giving up just now, so we have to bite the bullet and move forward.
Then run along the avenue to the point closest to the coordinates, and leave the road into the wilderness.
He saw from afar a bulge of sand a hundred meters away, and soon a sand scorpion bigger than a tiger emerged, turned around, and then looked at him motionlessly from a distance.
"The alert distance is so far?"
Looking at his current level, he smiled bitterly:
"Well, that's normal!"
It's level suppression. The sand scorpion's level is thirty-two, and he is only level eleven. The twenty-level difference can allow the opponent to detect him from a distance.
Just like when he was level 6 in the Novice Village and passed through the first and second level wild areas, he passed directly by a gray wolf. Not only did the gray wolf not attack him, but it also avoided him slightly.
He tried to go around the edge and move forward, but after a few steps, the sand scorpion quietly crouched down, staring at him with its pair of brown eyes.
"Good fellow, there is no way to get by."
Lin Xiao simply stepped back, and the sand scorpion stood up again and stared at this side.
"never mind!"
He simply turned around. The level difference was too great, and it was impossible for him to cross the wasteland and enter the depths of the Lightning Hills.
Sighing, he stood up and walked towards the sand scorpion, intending to kill it and then directly resurrect it in the cemetery between the hills and Moonlight Town, which would save him several hours of running time.
The death penalty in this game varies according to the resurrection method. If you are resurrected by running corpses, you will only drop one-tenth of the current level of experience and a part of the equipment will be damaged, that is, the durability of the equipment will be reduced. If the durability is lost, the equipment will be scrapped and cannot be used. You must spend a lot of money to repair it before you can continue to use it.
If you are resurrected by a resurrection spell, only part of your equipment will be damaged, and you will not lose experience.
If he abandons the corpse in the cemetery and resurrects directly, or forcibly resurrects at the Hearthstone binding point like his soul decayed before, in addition to the loss of running corpses to resurrect, there will be a ten-minute weak period, and all attributes will be reduced by 75%.
If you die once in the later stage, you will definitely suffer heavy losses, but now your level is low and you are upgrading quickly, so the loss of one tenth of experience is nothing and can be made up quickly.
However, when the sand scorpion pounced on him and pinned him down, everything in front of his eyes went black and gray, and Lin Xiao was stunned to find that he was not resurrected in the expected cemetery, but in another cemetery he had never seen before.
"Damn it! I ran too far."
There are several cemeteries on each map for players to revive their souls and run around. Generally, the place where the soul is resurrected is the cemetery closest to the place of death. Obviously, this cemetery is closer than the previous one.
This is embarrassing.
He opened the map in silence, but his eyes lit up and he blurted out a sentence after a while:
"Does this mean that when you are at the end of your rope, there is always a way out?"
It was shown on the minimap that he was resurrected directly in the middle of Lightning Hills, quite close to the coordinate location.
It was so close that
Lin Xiao ran around the corpse seven times in a row and finally found a huge stone tower.
The so-called corpse running means rushing out from the resurrection point as quickly as possible. Don't be afraid if you encounter monsters, just keep running until you die.
Then the soul will look for the corpse to resurrect. In the short few seconds of resurrection, the player is invisible and invulnerable and will not be attacked by monsters. Take this opportunity to run out of the monster's alert range and continue running until the next monster is encountered and killed, and then continue to use this method to run the corpse until reaching the destination.
This tall tower is located in the area deep in the Lightning Hills where lightning is most densely populated. Almost every few seconds, a thick bolt of lightning will fall from the sky and hit the tower. Occasionally, when it is densely populated, more than a dozen bolts of lightning will strike at the same time in an instant. The scene is quite spectacular.
There are no monsters near the tower. After walking around the tower, you can only see a closed stone door. At the door stands two huge stone animal statues with two huge sapphires as eyes.
He approached the stone gate. The statue on the left lit up, and the sapphire in its pupils glowed as it looked at him. A voice rang out:
"Please show me your pass!"
"A pass?"
Lin Xiao was just wondering when the pupil of the statue on the right burst into red light shining on him. The red light became brighter and brighter, and Lin Xiao felt inexplicably palpitating.
"What pass?"
Seeing that the dangerous atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger, he quickly took out the token he had received from the mage mentor in Moonlight Town and handed it over. The light swept over, and the red light flashed and disappeared, and the stone door retracted silently:
"Pass detected, passage allowed!"
Entering the tower, there was an empty hall. Two NPCs were chatting. One was called Junior Lightning Mage Phil, and the other was called Intermediate Lightning Mage Dalia. There was a Centaur servant cleaning nearby. When they heard the stone door open, the two NPCs turned around. Junior Lightning Mage Phil said,
"It's been a while since I saw a young apprentice. Are you here to learn lightning spells?"
Lin Xiao nodded seriously:
"Yes, I heard that lightning magic is very powerful, so I came from far away to learn it."
Junior Lightning Mage Phil smiled and said:
"A wise choice. Now you can learn lightning spells from us."
"Can I study now?"
"Yes, you can learn now."
This was really beyond Lin Xiao's expectations. He had thought there would be some tasks, but he didn't expect that he could learn directly.
But if you think about it carefully, it is normal. For a player in his early tenth level to come here from the Novice Village through the monster area of more than 30 levels, it is a big challenge in itself. The real test has been passed long ago.
He then talked to Phil, and a light screen appeared in front of him, showing the various lightning spells he could learn.
Compared to other spells, the Lightning specialization has a small number of spells, but they are all powerful spells.
However, he is only level 11 now and can only learn four lightning spells, namely chain lightning, lightning shield, lightning strike, and lightning force field.
And the levels are not high because he has no money to study for a higher level.
Level 2 Chain Lightning: A chain lightning that bounces four times is launched at targets within 90 yards, causing 55-75 points of lightning damage to the first target, and then the damage to each target is reduced by 15%, up to a maximum of four targets.
Mana cost is 35 points and the casting time is 2 seconds.
Level 1 Lightning Shield: Casts a lightning shield for yourself or teammates that lasts for fifteen minutes, reducing lightning damage by 50% and armor by 120 points, causing lightning damage equal to the caster's intelligence * 0.6 to any melee attacker, and causing a slight paralysis effect that lasts for three seconds.
Mana consumption is 45 points, instant cast, cooldown time is fifteen seconds.
Level 1 Lightning Strike: Summon a bolt of lightning to strike enemies within a 120-yard range, causing 375 points of lightning damage and interrupting the target's spellcasting.
Mana consumption is 60 points, casting time is 3 seconds, and cooldown time is 5 seconds.
Level 1 Lightning Field: Summons a lightning ring to impact surrounding enemies, causing 128 points of lightning damage to all enemies within 60 yards, stunning them for two seconds and then paralyzing them for four seconds.
Mana consumption is 60 points, instant cast, cooldown time is ten seconds.
These are all the effects after being enhanced by the Star Spirit talents. Compared with other specializations, the Lightning specialization has fewer but more powerful spells.
After he chose his specialization, all the spells he had learned before disappeared. Now he only knew these four spells, and his professional talent tree was also opened.
Lin Xiao opened the talent tree and found two talent trees, one called Sky Wrath and the other called Thundergod.
After carefully looking at the talents in the two talent trees, I understood what these two talent trees represent.
The Skywrath talent tree takes the single-target burst route.
The Thor talent tree route is a large-scale group route.
You can have both talent trees, but because professional talent points are limited, you are destined to focus on only one of the talent paths. If you do both, neither will be strong.
After checking out the two talent trees, Lin Xiao decided to go the Thor talent tree route.
Initially there are two talent options available, namely Lightning Extension and Enhanced Lightning Chain.
There are five levels of Lightning Extension talent, and each level increases the range of the lightning spell by 1 yard.
There are three levels of enhanced Lightning Chain, and each level adds one more ricochet target.
There is no need to consider this. He already has a three times range advantage. Why bother clicking on this? Just click on the enhanced Lightning Chain, and put both points on it. Two additional ricochet targets will be added. The two-level Lightning Chain can ricochet four targets, and now it can ricochet six.
After learning all the skills, he was temporarily unable to learn new skills, so he directly used Hearthstone to teleport to Moonlight Town.
Having learned from his previous lesson, he bound his Hearthstone to Moonlight Town.
After ten seconds of continuous casting, he appeared in the Moonlight Town Inn. He heard a burst of light music and the hotel was full of people, including NPCs and players.
After wasting a few days, many players have caught up with their level and arrived here.
There are more people in the square outside the hotel. There is a small box under his eyelid. This is the various channels. At this moment, the regional channel is full of information about players' exchanges, including chatting, team formation, trading, etc. Among them, the one that attracts his attention the most is the information about a team for book brushing.
