Chapter 9 Missed the Mark
Don't worry, elite monsters have a high drop rate, so you shouldn't be short on these fragments.""That's pretty good, being able to kill elite monsters above your level. That's insane.""Come on, just...The porcupine saw several people surround it, its face instantly contorted with anger, its eyes bloodshot as it charged towards them. At the same time, its thick tail whipped back and forth in the air like a whip.
Ding Mo held his shield and charged forward, while Lu Yong and Shen Qibin flanked him.
Yun Feng nodded silently from the side.
Although these people aren't very strong in combat, their tactics are basically sound.
Ding Mo attracted the monster's attacks, and under the protection of his large shield, he was able to barely withstand them despite the tremendous strain.
Lu Yong and Shen Qibin can also attack relatively comfortably, and Zhao Borui in the distance occasionally shoots cold arrows.
At this rate, we won't have any trouble taking care of this level 1 needle mouse.
"Whoosh!!!"
Just as the few people were full of confidence, several steel needles about ten centimeters long shot out from the monster's body and flew towards the three.
"Be careful, it's a skill."
Lu Yong crossed his fists in front of him, blocking the flying needle that was aimed at his face. Ding Mo had a shield to block it, so the flying needles posed no threat to him.
Only Shen Qibin, completely engrossed in the thrill of the attack, had forgotten that monsters still possessed skills.
It's too late to try and hide now.
"Heh heh heh"
"Ahhhhh..."
A steel needle pierced his arm, drawing a bloom of blood.
Shen Qibing also let out a painful wail.
Damn it!
Lu Yong cursed under his breath. This was the first battle, and there were already casualties, which would seriously delay their progress.
"Qi Bin, you go down first and let Li Yue treat you. This monster should be almost done."
Shen Qibin, hearing this, could only grit his teeth and withdraw from the battlefield.
Fortunately, monsters can't continuously release skills, and they were already wounded before, so even with one less person, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
"Can I have this monster's spirit power As the main attacker, I can deal with monsters better once I reach level two. Then you guys can just finish them off."
At this moment, the monster was sprawled on the ground, just needing that final blow. Suddenly, Lu Yong addressed everyone.
Actually, everyone knows that Lu Yong's allocation method is the most suitable for their squad.
But after their recent battle, they all knew that even level 1 monsters were not easy to deal with. Only by becoming stronger themselves could they cope with the dangers that might arise.
"I agree, Yongge's level is up, we are safer now. Twenty level 1 monsters, I can wait."
At this time, Zhao Borui spoke up, anyway he was an E-level, even if he rose to level 2, it wouldn't be much use. Besides, he wasn't taken in by Lu Yong, and no one in the class wanted him.
Several others wanted to take a look, but could only accept it silently. During this time, they didn't consult Yunfeng's opinion at all.
With a single punch, the needle-haired rat was finished. A wave of energy entered Lu Yong's body.
"It feels so good."
Lu Yong closed his eyes and enjoyed it.
"Zhao Borui, you go collect the spoils of war."
So-called trophies are those steel-like hairs, basically every monster has usable materials on its body, these materials are the main source of income for adventurers. As for fragments, that depends on luck.
"Shen Qibin, how is your injury"
"I just got treated, and I'm much better now."
At this moment, the bleeding on his arm has stopped, and he has done a simple bandage.
Elemental affinity is innate, its effect in the early stages is limited, not to mention it's only a D-grade affinity. Being able to stop bleeding is already pretty good.
However, as the elements progress later in the game, their effects become more comprehensive. Wood can also attack and defend just like innate abilities do.
"Today is our first battle, and there are some loopholes, which is normal. However, I hope that in the subsequent battles, such mistakes will not happen again."
Shen Qibin also knew that he had been careless today and humbly accepted the criticism.
"Lu Yong is a very qualified captain, capable of making battle plans, with ideas and responsibility. He also reflects on battles afterward. If his talent level were..."
Yun Feng was silently judging in his heart.
Take a break, then several people continue their actions, searching for the next level 1 monster.
It doesn't take too long for a few people to cooperate and kill a level 1 monster, only five minutes. Most of their time is spent looking for the monster.
Soon, the sun will set and it will be dark soon.
In half a day, five people, no, six people in total killed twenty-eight monsters. Lu Yong alone accounted for twenty, naturally rising to level two. The other four people each got two monsters, as for Yun Feng, he could only watch with envy.
And as Lu Yong said before, after he was promoted to level 2, his speed of killing monsters increased significantly.
Originally, he even wanted to propose that Ding Mo be promoted to Level 2 first. That way, it would be possible to deal with both monsters at the same time. In the end, he gave up. This would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the others.
It's time to find an opportunity to get away from them.
Yunfeng pondered a countermeasure in his mind. Following these people, he had no way to unleash his martial arts skills, and couldn't even gain any experience.
"Kai, pulling four monsters is no problem, right"
"Don't worry, Monkey Brother, it's all under control."
On the other side, Hei Hou's team had a much easier time dealing with the monsters. They directly took down four violent rabbits all at once.
"The B-rank King Kong talent is indeed quite good, the defense is very solid."
Zhou Quan exclaimed.
His team composition was also two attackers, one defender, one support, and one scout.
In the dimensional space, exploring talent is very important.
Each dimensional space has vastly different environments and monster characteristics. While the combat visor can provide some information about monsters, it's very limited. And sometimes, there are monsters you can't even see with the naked eye.
In a short while, the four monsters were slain one by one, turning into souls under the squad's command.
"After slaying four more level 1 monsters, we can move on to fighting level 2 monsters."
In less than half a day, four out of the five of them have reached Level 2.
This is the difference between a high-talent team and a low-talent team.
Actually, when Zhou Quan and Tan Kai were promoted to Level 2, they could have challenged Level 2 monsters. However, for safety reasons, they chose a more cautious approach.
"Hey brother, there are two monsters ahead, they don't look like violent rabbits."
"Two level-two monsters Are you sure there are only two"
"Don't worry, Monkey Brother, there are definitely no other monsters around."
Here's the translation:ly stay away, could he A nobody challenging... hardly something to scare off our legendary war god."Coming at this time, it's bound to arouse suspicion.""You don't know anything, the masters always m...
