Chapter 155 Thousand-Eyed Centipede! A Level 3 Monster Right From the Start!
Hang Yu brought the captain of the guard Zhou Cang to the skill tower.
After the skill tower in the main city was upgraded, the appearance was readjusted and changed significantly, from a simple stone tower to a pavilion-style ancient tower, which is consistent with the lord's castle and other architectural styles of the main city.
Of course, the appearance is not the focus.
The improvement of function is the key.
The first-level skill tower has: five skill comprehension rooms, five skill practice rooms, and one skill teaching room.
The second-level skill tower has: ten skill comprehension rooms, thirty skill practice rooms, and two skill teaching rooms.
The skill comprehension room is also called the skill learning room. This is where skill stones are inlaid and people can quickly comprehend skills. Whether it is a player of the Scourge Army or other people in the territory, as long as they can pay the corresponding fees, they can quickly comprehend skills here.
Compared with the first-level skill tower.
The second-level skill tower not only has a comprehension room +5.
The highest can be inlaid with blue-quality skill stones.
As for the skill practice room? This is a place to slowly improve skill proficiency and level through practice!
A person with first-level cultivation practices skills in the practice room for one day, and the skill improvement effect produced is roughly equal to about 200-400 points of energy investment.
Each second-level practice room can accommodate five people practicing, and thirty practice rooms can accommodate up to 150 people practicing at the same time. Theoretically, it can save 30,000-60,000 energy expenditures every day.
This is still under the condition that the practitioners are all first-level practitioners. If the practitioners reach the second level, the speed of practicing skills will be faster. At present, the practice room is only open to the Canglong Guards and some potential indigenous people. As for players, they do not have the right to enter the practice room to practice skills.
The Scourge Army has a tenfold explosion rate and is immortal.
It is more cost-effective to let them kill monsters to obtain energy to practice skills.
If Hang Yu opens the skill practice room to players, there will definitely be players who stay in the practice room all day to practice skills. Not only is the efficiency not higher than killing monsters, it will also affect personal improvement and territory income.
Now, half of the people who are practicing in the skill tower training room are Canglong guards and half are native soldiers. They can save 100,000 essences for the territory every day. In the future, two second-level skill towers will be put into use at the same time, which can save about 200,000 essences every day.
It's not a small number!
Although for a large territory with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of legions, the improvement effect provided by several skill towers is a drop in the bucket, but it is enough for Hang Yu.
Hang Yu asked: "Have you tried the skill tower?"
Zhou Cang said respectfully: "Report to the Lord, I have been practicing in the skill tower for several days. One day of practice in the tower can be equivalent to ten days of practice outside the tower. The results are amazing!"
Hang Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Ordinary natives practice skills and techniques slowly.
The various facilities in the territory of the Star Lord are like cheating for them.
This will also become an important resource for the Star Lord to win over the native masters. Although Zhou Cang's body is in a demonized state, as long as he is a citizen of the territory, he can use these facilities effectively.
Zhou Cang can not only practice in the skill tower, but also obtain new skills through skill stones. As he lives and resides in the territory for a longer time, his foundation and strength will be continuously improved.
Hang Yu walked to a comprehension room.
"You will be outside later!"
"Yes!"
Hang Yu walked into the comprehension room and officially embedded the "Skill Stone: Martial Saint Three Swords" in the stone slot. From now on, this powerful skill will become a public skill that everyone in the territory can practice.
[Energy - 100,000! ]
[You have comprehended "Martial Saint Three Swords"! ]
[Martial Saint Three Swords], blue quality skill, current skill level 1, this skill takes effect within 10 seconds. When launching three slashes or slash-type skills, the speed is +40, the critical damage is +25%, and the comprehensive amplification effect of 50%, 80%, and 100% can be obtained in turn.
It is indeed a skill stone given by Master Guan!
It is the highest-grade skill stone in the territory.
It is also the best among blue-quality skills.
This skill can be used with various slashing skills. It can not only greatly increase speed and critical damage, but also improve the skill effect in all aspects. It is very powerful!
However, the stronger the skill, the higher the threshold!
This skill not only requires a condition of up to 260 points of strength, but also requires up to 100,000 essences to comprehend and master it. Currently, no one in the territory can practice it except Zhou Cang.
Hang Yu is not satisfied with just learning this skill.
[Essence - 20,000! ]
[Your "Three Swords of Martial Saint" has been upgraded to level 2! ]
[Essence - 30,000! ]
[Your "Three Swords of Martial Saint" has been upgraded to level 3! ]
[……]
[Essence - 90,000! ]
[Your "Three Swords of Martial Saint" has been upgraded to level 9! 】
Hang Yu spent a total of 440,000 energy points, but only upgraded his skills to level 9. However, upgrading from level 9 to level 10 requires a total of 450,000 energy points in one go!
This skill, from learning to practicing to the full level.
The total cost is 990,000!
Unprecedented!
Although the Three Swords of the Martial Saint is a public skill, with its extremely high learning threshold and extremely high practice cost, I am afraid that no player can master it in a short time. It is estimated that this kind of ultimate skill is like this.
Hang Yu did not hesitate to invest his energy again.
[Energy - 450,000! ]
[Your "Three Swords of the Martial Saint" has reached the full level! ]
[Three Swords of the Martial Saint], a blue quality skill, the current skill level is 10, permanent strength increase +45, the speed of the three slashes or slash-type skills launched within 10 seconds of this skill taking effect is +100, the critical damage is +50%, and the comprehensive amplification effect of 100%, 200%, and 300% can be obtained in turn.
Hang Yu was very satisfied after seeing the powerful effect of this skill. He felt that the practicality of the Three Swords of the Martial Saint would not be inferior to some purple quality skills. With such a skill, the explosive power will be greatly improved!
If used with the King's Soul talent
Hang Yu could even kill an opponent who was similar to him in level, equipment, attributes, and other aspects in a short time!
1 million spirits were worth it!
He immediately called Zhou Cang in.
Hang Yu spent another 100,000 spirits.
He let Zhou Cang master the Three Swords of the Martial Saint.
When Zhou Cang realized the essence of the Three Swords of the Martial Saint through the skill stone, his mountain-like body shook violently, and his eyes showed disbelief. He obviously didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to comprehend and master such a profound and unique skill!
"Thank you, Lord!"
Although he had long experienced the magic of the Lord's methods and had experienced the mystery of practicing in the skill tower, he still couldn't calm down at this moment, and knelt down in front of the Lord at the first time.
Hang Yu said: "The Three Swords of the Martial Saint is a powerful ultimate move. After you have this skill, you can easily suppress or even win against opponents of the same level in the future!"
As the captain of the Lord's guards, Zhou Cang naturally needs stronger strength and foundation.
Hang Yu only let Zhou Cang master the Three Swords of Martial Saint, but did not help him improve the level of the Three Swords of Martial Saint. After all, the consumption of this skill is really amazing, and the current energy reserves cannot be squandered like this.
Even the level 1 Three Swords of Martial Saint can greatly improve the combat power!
Of course, Zhou Cang cannot get such a powerful skill for nothing. Hang Yu needs Zhou Cang to teach him several major skills he has mastered in the next few days. These skills may not be useful to Hang Yu, but at least they can be used to improve attributes or used as skill synthesis materials for the Enlightenment Tower.
Imparting skills is one of the three basic functions of the Skill Tower.
Each character can impart or be imparted with a maximum of one skill per day.
When the skill is imparted, both the imparter and the impartee will consume energy.
In addition, learning skills through imparting will take more time than understanding skill stones, and the required cultivation threshold is also higher. This way of spreading skills is destined to not be promoted on a large scale.
It took 5 hours.
Hang Yu learned Zhou Cang's "Fierce Tiger Fighting Spirit"!
From learning to practicing to reaching the maximum level, a total of more than 30,000 essences were consumed.
[Fierce Tiger Fighting Soul], a green quality skill, the current skill is at the maximum level, permanent strength +15, consumes 50 mana, can summon the Fierce Tiger Fighting Soul to possess, under the blessing of the Fierce Tiger Fighting Soul, attack speed +20, damage immunity +50, each effective attack will cause an additional 185 fire attribute damage.
This is a BUFF skill with an incomplete transformation effect, so although there is a slight transformation effect after turning on this skill, it does not affect the normal use of other skills.
Hang Yu does not have a skill with similar functions, so this skill has good practical value even for him.
Zhou Cang has several more skills to learn here.
In addition to the Fierce Tiger Fighting Soul, the most valuable one is a skill called Fierce Tiger Benshan Zhui, and these two skills are also the prerequisite skills for Zhou Cang's strongest skill "Tiger Demon Skyfall".
Don't worry!
Learn slowly in the next few days!
Hang Yu hesitated whether to go to the Enlightenment Tower to continue his training. He now had too many skills, and most of the green and white skills were not very practical, so it was necessary to integrate and adjust them.
This could effectively improve personal strength.
But in this way, the reserve energy was consumed too quickly.
Now that the new map has just been opened, maybe I should save a little more energy to issue tasks to players. Just when Hang Yu was hesitating about this.
[Player "Crazy Slashing a Street" has died, energy +8000...]
[Player "A Sword from the West" has died, energy +6400...]
[Player "Fried Noodles" has died, energy +5200...]
[Player "Salted Fish Stab" has died, energy +8000...]
[...]
[Player "Little Bell" has died, energy +8000...]
[Player "Charming Ghosts" has died, energy +8000...]
[……]
Hang Yu was slightly surprised.
The players should have just entered the Wancheng map.
Why did such a high frequency of casualties occur so quickly?
Wancheng is an unknown area. The Scourge Army's operation this time is mainly to explore the way in multiple ways. In this case, the locations reached by passing through the Abyss Fog Gate from different areas should be different.
It is normal if one or two teams are unlucky and encounter danger and are wiped out, but now almost all the troops entering the new map are in danger, which cannot be explained by bad luck.
"The Wancheng map is more dangerous than I thought!"
The number of casualties among players has increased dramatically.
Hang Yu is quite happy and relieved.
But at the same time, he is also a little worried and solemn.
He will be happy that he can start the nuclear-powered leek harvester next, and the territory's energy reserves will explode, so he can use energy to issue tasks more aggressively.
Hang Yu roughly calculated that there were four or five hundred players participating in the exploration of the new map, of which there were 192 second-level masters. A complete annihilation could generate at least 1.6 million essence.
If an average of three or two deaths a day.
Add to that the income from thousands of other low-level players.
The territory's reserve essence could easily double, enough to maintain high-quality and high-speed development.
As for why Hang Yu felt a little worried or stressed at the same time, it was of course because the difficulty of the Wancheng map seemed to be greater than expected, and the danger of this development was probably far greater than Woniu Mountain.
"Let's see what's going on first!"
Open the lord's perspective.
Find a team.
…………
Ye Limeng led a team of about 40 people, who had just walked out of the abyss fog gate, and a prompt appeared in everyone's information bar.
[You have entered Wancheng! 】
After the players passed through the fog gate of the abyss, they immediately checked the situation nearby. They appeared in a dark red desert. There was almost no green in the whole field of vision. Even the mountains in the distance were bare, as if they were soaked in blood and glowed blood red.
"Is this Wancheng?"
"Why does it look so desolate!"
"It doesn't look like anyone lives here at all!"
"..."
No wonder the players are so confused.
They did their homework for this operation.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wancheng was located in Nanyang County, Jingzhou. Jingzhou was densely covered with water networks, had a humid climate, and fertile land. It has been a densely populated place suitable for living since ancient times.
Who would have thought that they would see such a scene as soon as they came in? If they hadn't known in advance that this was Wancheng, everyone would have thought they had come to the northwest with a strange and dark evil atmosphere!
Crazy Knife Lao Wang said: "There's nothing to be surprised about. This place has been polluted by the abyss for too long. It is estimated that the terrain and environment have changed. It is normal that it is different from what we imagined."
"Everyone be careful!"
At this time,
Ye Limeng issued a reminder: "I just received news from Brother Rui and Xiao Lingdang. Their team encountered danger and suffered heavy losses. They were almost wiped out."
"What?"
"Brother Rui and the others suffered heavy losses?"
"What's going on? Is this place so dangerous!"
"..."
Ye Limeng said with a serious expression: "According to the information they revealed, the level of the monsters here is very high, and you can't even see the level!"
"What?"
"Can't see the level?!"
Everyone showed a look of horror.
The highest level of monsters encountered by the Scourge Army so far is only the 16th level Zhang Bao. As for the non-BOSS monsters, the 11th level Yellow Turban Warrior and the 10th level Yellow Turban Demon Soldier are already considered relatively high-level monsters.
But the monsters that appear in this place can't even see their levels. This situation only occurs when they are five levels higher than themselves!
Brother Black Eyed Rui and Xiao Lingdang are already level 14 bosses.
If even they can't see the level.
Then it must be at least a level 20 monster!
The monsters in the previous map were only level 10, but in this map, they were level 20 monsters... Is this a big gap?
Ye Limeng immediately encouraged him, "Don't worry, the higher the level of the monster, the richer the drops, and the more energy it gives!"
"That's right!"
"Just do it!"
"Let's get started!"
"I can't wait!"
"I want to see what the monsters in this place look like!"
There are no members of the Scourge Army who are afraid of death. When they learned that this land is very dangerous, it not only failed to make the players retreat, but aroused their desire to explore.
Guzhou and several rangers immediately took action.
But in a moment, they found a monster lurking in the desert, and this monster was a giant centipede about 40 meters long.
It has a body size comparable to that of a train, each pair of legs is as thick as a human thigh, and its body is covered with a thick black shell. Its upper body is bloated and deformed and can stand up like a snake. Its two long whiskers are like huge dragon whiskers, and its four pairs of huge jaws are as red as blood. Its abdomen is full of strange eyes of all sizes.
[Thousand Eyes Centipede], ? ? ? ... Introduction: This is a terrifying monster born from the abyss dream, and its power is enough to easily destroy a town.
Xiao Ma Ge: "Damn! I really can't see the level! Lao Wang, Boss Ye, can you see the level?"
He is already level 13.
He can't see the level of the monster.
This means that this Thousand Eyes Centipede is at least level 19!
Level 14 Mad Blade Lao Wang shook his head and said: "I can't see it at all!"
Hiss!
Everyone took a breath of cold air.
This means that the information provided by the other teams is correct. It can make the level of the 14th level Mad Blade Lao Wang unable to see the level. This Thousand Eyes Centipede is at least a level 20 monster!
Of course.
Level 20 is not that scary!
After all, level 20 is only the second level!
But this monster has such a strong aura!
Although it looks like a regular monster, the sense of oppression is no less than that of some commander-level BOSS, which makes people have some ominous premonitions.
Crazy Knife Old Wang immediately asked: "Old Ye, can you see its level?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Limeng.
Because Ye Limeng is the first player to reach level 15, if the Qianmu Wugong in front is a level 20 monster, then Ye Limeng should be able to see it at his level!
However.
Ye Limeng did not speak.
The expression on his face became more and more solemn.
"No way!"
"Boss Ye can't see it either?"
"Doesn't that mean this monster is level 21!"
"..."
Everyone was shocked!
The strength of level 11 and level 20 monsters may be very different.
But the level 11 monster is a level 2 monster, and the level 20 monster is also a level 2 monster. Even if there is a huge gap, they are still at the same level.
Level 20 monsters and level 21 monsters may only be one level apart, but they are the distance between level 2 and level 3. The difference in strength is so great that it is likely to be subversive!
Although everyone is mentally prepared.
Although it is guessed that the monster level in Wancheng area is very high!
But it is too outrageous to encounter a level 3 monster at the beginning!
"Fuck!"
"How can you make a map like this!"
"How can such a high-level monster appear so quickly!"
"Planner, get out of here! I promise not to kill you!"
"..."
Players have started to complain. Even if the level 21 monster is only an elite monster, the oppression it brings to people is not much less than that of the commander of level 14 or 15!
Even if there is only one.
The threat it causes is also huge!
"Forget it!"
"Stop complaining!"
"The Three Kingdoms of Ghost is not a game that likes to play by the rules!"
"No! It seems that it has discovered us! It's too late to retreat now! Everyone, get ready for battle!"
...
(PS: Sorry, I just came back from a business trip. I was too busy so this chapter has a few words. I will resume tomorrow... The author really wants to write full-time. I have to travel on weekends. I don't want to work in this crappy class for a day, but the average subscription is only more than a thousand. My strength does not allow it. But I believe that the subsequent performance of this book will still be better. I hope everyone will support it!)
