Chapter 094: Pig 5 Burns Monster

This belongs to you and it's yours! If it's not yours, even if you snatch it, it won't become yours! We'll talk about it later! The leader was quite magnanimous. While applying a group stealth to Lin Jia, he also cast a healing spell on the fourth who was running outside to replenish his lost health.

Lin Jia, who had risen to level 24, had already learned the new skill Fire Wall. The advantage of this area-of-effect magic was its large area and continuous attack capability. After casting, a 2x2 fire pile would appear on the ground, and any monster stepping on it within a certain time would be burned and lose blood. Moreover, if all fire walls were released on a piece of ground, it would form a sea of fire. The range attack magic Lin Jia had longed for finally appeared, and he no longer had to suffer through lightning shots one by one.

Currently, the leader had crafted a corner behind a short wall in the pig cave using his own ribs, then with the fourth they lured all the freshly spawned red-black wild boars, scorpion snakes, moth, and tires in the surrounding area. During periods of lower player traffic, the number of spawned monsters was large, making it likely to see a group of 4 to 50 monsters lured over, their grumbling roars creating quite a commotion.

Then the leader and fourth who came back with the lured monsters quickly positioned themselves beside Lin Jia, forming a human wall with their ribs to protect the little mage. At this moment the mage's role was evident: first use explosive flames to attack the distant lost monsters, drawing them closer, then place several fire walls outside the short wall to create a small fire sea, watching as the large group of monsters were burned with miserable screams in the fire sea, rolling back and forth in the flames, continuously scorched by the repeated flame attacks of the Fire Wall.

One feature of the Fire Wall magic was that as long as it hadn't extinguished, standing still within the flames might only be burned once every few seconds, but moving swiftly in the flames would result in being scorched at each coordinate point moved to. The faster one ran, the more blood lost!

With a large group of monsters, after Lin Jia only cast two or three fire walls, he was burned into a pile of corpses. Fortunately, the equipment dropped by monsters was not affected by burning, so once the monsters were all dead, one could industriously collect the loot from the corpse pile. This method of killing monsters was extremely fast and worry-free, no need to aim at each monster individually. Most importantly, it saved a lot of potions! The MP consumed by releasing two or three fire seas was absolutely less than using lightning to snipe 4 to 50 monsters!

While supplementing the lone wild boar with a lightning strike, Lin Jia curiously asked the leader and fourth beside him: "Have you all felt that the attack power seems to have dropped quite a bit after the update? How come I feel my lightning spell's power has become smaller? Before, one pig would take 4 or 5 lightning bolts to kill, but now 7 or 8 sometimes can't even kill it?"

Due to the three brothers, when leveling, Lin Jia was basically the main attacker, while the leader and fourth felt this smaller feeling less. The fourth rushed out and used his hand attack 5-16, curse plus 3, slashing blade to chop a wild boar that had been baptized by the fire sea and luckily not died, also somewhat doubtfully saying: "Yeah! It seems my attack power is especially small, sometimes chopping pigs doesn't even consume blood!?"

"What's the matter?" The leader also hacked a few nearby monsters with her own demon-subduing axe, but she rarely used weapons to hack monsters normally and felt nothing.

"Damn it! Could it be that we leveled too fast and the system weakened our attack power?" The fourth looked dejected at the wild boar he was fighting desperately with. Since Lin Jia's Fire Wall skill was currently still level 0, the duration was still very short, about tens of seconds before disappearing. Although constantly replenishing, there were still quite a few monsters running out of the Fire Wall range, so only the leader and fourth cleared them.

After the server update to 1.04, many changes occurred in the game. Whether this weakened attack power phenomenon was because the system modified players' attack powers was unknown, but in order to give the large number of players enough monsters to level, the monster spawn rate had obviously increased considerably, and the spawn speed had also quickened.

They had just finished killing a batch of monsters, and around them monsters began spawning again. The leader and fourth rushed out without time to speak and quickly gathered the surrounding monsters, otherwise if they were a step slow, other players fighting for aggro would rob them of the monsters.

Speaking of this, one cannot not mention the location where they are currently leveling in the pig cave. They hadn't found the pig boss and snake boss's three brothers on the fourth layer because the fourth layer's terrain was too complex and the passages narrow, not conducive to the little mage Lin Jia's combat, so they descended to the fifth layer, also the last layer of the pig cave. Here not only was the monster spawn rate large, number many, speed fast, but in the monster groups there often appeared particularly difficult-to-kill red-black wild boars and scorpion snakes. These three monsters had names and appearances almost identical to ordinary red-black wild boars and scorpion snakes, but their speed and attack power were almost double that of ordinary monsters. If one was careless and bitten by one, it was quite dangerous. With Lin Jia's current level 24 little mage, hitting such a mutated, or called premium, red-black wild boar with an axe would at least drop 2/5 of the blood to half, almost two or three hits and it would be killed.

And now their position was in a relatively wide rectangular space in the uppermost corner of the pig cave fifth layer. Here it somewhat resembled a small playground, with walls around except for the relatively wide area, and every certain distance on the surrounding walls there were T-shaped protruding short walls that could serve as hiding places for Lin Jia the little mage, and in the middle of this small playground there was a hole-like entrance that seemed to lead to the next layer, but now when walking to above the entrance it wouldn't enter, merely a decorative terrain.

They guessed that this might be where new maps would be opened in future version updates, perhaps the pig cave sixth layer as well.

Around this small playground, there were large patches of empty space, which just happened to be the monster spawn points. So Lin Jia hid in the corner at the top of the 10 o'clock direction in the pig 5 map, shrinking behind the T-shaped short wall waiting for the leader and fourth to lure a large group of monsters from one direction each for him to burn with Fire Wall.

In the legend game, through players' experience and summary over so many days, it was found that on every leveling map, there were several or even 4-5 places where more than ten monsters spawned especially concentrated. These several coordinates were called "spawn points" by players. Often these spawn points became places players fought over, several players often camping on one spawn point waiting for monsters to spawn. In the current situation of many players and few monsters, this waiting for spawn method sometimes gave more experience than roaming around fighting for aggro. Although after killing a batch one had to wait a while, chatting while leveling became a habit for legendary players that didn't forget leisure.
