Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 11 - I Killed Them All And Then Came Out

Lin Moyu stood before a towering tree more than 30 meters tall. His fingertip shimmered as he activated the Detection spell, a basic ability everyone possessed, useful for gathering information.

[Bullwhip Tree]

[Level: 8]

[Description: typically dormant, will attack nearby living creatures.]

Lin Moyu wondered why the Skeletal Warriors weren’t attacked when they passed the Bullwhip Tree. Then it struck him—the Skeletal Warriors were not living creatures and lacked the breath of life, so they wouldn't trigger a response from the Bullwhip Tree. But when he approached, the Bullwhip Tree immediately launched its assault.

The Bullwhip Tree’s attacks were relentless. Although it didn't cause him any damage, but Lin Moyu wasn't foolish enough to stand there and take the hits. He quickly retreated several dozen meters, moving out of the tree's range. The Bullwhip Tree, rooted in place, ceased its attacks but continued to thrash its branches defensively.

"They truly put a lot of thought into this." Lin Moyu muttered, recognizing the clever design of the dungeon.

It was clear that the creators had put significant thought into it. The dungeon was designed with the low-level monsters being deliberately weakened, while the level-8 monsters matching the strength of those outside. The choice of plant-type monsters, capable of launching surprise attacks but unable to move, was particularly clever.

This setup allowed novice class users to experience the dangers of the wild without being overwhelmed. The Bullwhip Tree, unable to move, posed no threat of pursuit, allowing novice class users to retreat calmly if in danger. Its attack range was intentionally matched to some long-range classes, preventing those users from exploiting their distance advantage.

Lin Moyu appreciated the design—it was both challenging and protective, allowing new class users to grow while minimizing the risk of fatal mistakes.

As the eerie clicking of bones echoed, Lin Moyu’s 16 Skeletal Warriors returned to his side, forming a protective circle around him. With a thought, Lin Moyu commanded one of the skeletons to charge at the Bullwhip Tree. The tree didn’t react to the Skeletal Warrior until the first blade struck its bark. Then, the Bullwhip Tree retaliated, whipping its branches furiously.

The tree’s attacks were swift, striking the Skeletal Warrior three or four times per second. Despite this, the skeleton, with its high defense and health, only sustained minor cracks that quickly closed.

"Oh? It wasn’t killed instantly!" He mused.

Up until now, every monster from level 1 to level 7 had fallen to a single strike. But this level 8 Bullwhip Tree was different.

"So, this is the strength of monsters in the wilderness ? Let’s see how many blade strikes you can endure."

One, two, three strikes—and then, with the fourth, the Bullwhip Tree fell silent.

[Killed level 8 Bullwhip Tree, EXP +160]

The EXP gained was significantly higher than that from level 7 monsters, but Lin Moyu quickly calculated that killing level 7 monsters was more efficient—one strike for 70 EXP compared to four strikes for 160 EXP. However, the time spent hunting had to be considered. Searching for monsters could be time-consuming, making the Bullwhip Trees, which were abundant in the forest in front of him, more practical targets.

Hundreds of Bullwhip Trees dotted the forest. This area was essentially a training ground designed for him, and Lin Moyu felt a surge of excitement. He commanded his Skeletal Warriors to spread out and attack the Bullwhip Trees. Each tree fell swiftly after four strikes, sending his EXP soaring.

While most class users experienced a slowdown in leveling after reaching level 5, Lin Moyu found his pace quickening. He had expected it to take over an hour to level up, but in just 50 minutes, he had reached level 6.

Outside the dungeon, the sky darkened as the clock struck 7:00 p.m. Ten hours had passed since the students entered the novice dungeon. The school principals, along with Xia Dongyang, remained seated outside, having spent the day drinking tea and having meals brought to them. This was an annual tradition; on the first day students entered the novice dungeon, the principals would stand guard. Although accidents were rare, but there were no guarantees in real combat. Injuries were inevitable, and there had even been cases where students lost their lives in the novice dungeon.

Xia Dongyang, concerned for his daughter Xia Xue, hadn’t left either. He regretted missing her class awakening ceremony and was determined not to miss her first dungeon raid.

Suddenly, the dungeon's entrance glowed brightly, drawing everyone’s attention.

"Someone’s coming out." Someone remarked.

"It’s not time yet. Did something go wrong?" Another wondered aloud.

The dungeon had two exits—one deep within the forest, guarded by level 8 monsters, and the other at the entrance.

Lin Moyu emerged from the light.

Lu Yun hurried over, "Moyu, how did you get out so quickly?"

Lin Moyu’s replied in a quiet voice. "I killed them all and then came out."

For a moment, Lu Yun was stunned, his mind struggling to process what Lin Moyu had just said. Lin Moyu's face remained emotionless as he spoke. Then, in the next moment, Lu Yun noticed Lin Moyu's level.
