AoE skill

"Congratulations on leveling up! You have been rewarded with 10 attribute points and 5 skill points!"

Deep within the forest, after defeating another group of wild boarmen, a glow of leveling up appeared on Su Mu's body.

His level had increased to 7.

"My intelligence is sufficient, so I should allocate points to constitution."

Su Mu allocated all ten attribute points to constitution.

With his current spell attack, he could easily annihilate ordinary monsters in an instant.

In comparison, his slightly over a hundred health points seemed insufficient.

Although he had a magic shield that made it difficult for him to be instantly killed, having more health points would still be beneficial.

He opened the attribute panel.

"The attributes are quite good. Let's continue!"

Having successfully reached level 7, Su Mu cleared out all the surrounding wild boarmen.

He continued towards the depths of the forest.

"What's that?"

Soon, a large camp appeared in his line of sight.

Unlike the previous camp, this one was filled with patrolling wild boarmen and had tall fences.

Above the fences, a row of boarman hunters with bows and arrows kept a close watch.

"No wonder it's an elite difficulty mission. With this setup, without a team of dozens of people, it would be impossible to enter the camp!"

After circling around the outskirts of the camp, Su Mu refrained from acting rashly.

"There are approximately four hundred wild boarmen in the entire camp. If we launch an attack, I wonder if they will all come out!"

"Unfortunately, I don't have any AoE skills. Otherwise, with my current spell attack, I could definitely wipe them out in groups!"

The large number of wild boarmen forced Su Mu to be cautious.

The boarman archers were particularly troublesome.

"Activate the magic shield."

After careful consideration, Su Mu decided to launch a frontal assault.

There were a total of five archers on the camp's gate, and their combined volley could deal 725 points of damage.

With his shield value of 4400, he could easily withstand it.

With that taken care of, the remaining six melee monsters and three mage monsters posed no problem at all.

"Fireball!"

Su Mu directly cast a fireball at one of the boarmen.

-2320!

A clean kill!

At the same time, the other boarmen at the camp gate reacted.

The hunters on the wall raised their bows and aimed at Su Mu, while the mages conjured flames in their hands.

"Hmph! Hmph!"

The boarman warriors below the wall roared and raised their weapons, charging forward fearlessly.

"Ice Arrow!"

Su Mu decisively acted, casting an instant ice arrow at a ranged monster.

-1740.

Another instant kill.

Then, a series of damage numbers appeared above Su Mu's head.

It looked like a lot, but the damage inflicted was mediocre.

"Magic Missiles!"

"Holy Light!"

Two more instant-cast skills, and the boarmen on the wall fell one after another, leaving only one boarman archer still preparing his arrow.

"Let's deal with these melee monsters first!"

Su Mu ignored the ranged monster and focused on the approaching boarman warriors.

"Charge!"

He aimed at one of the monsters and launched a charge.

With the agility bonus, almost in an instant, he had raised his staff and appeared in front of the boarman.

-914!

"Slash!"

-914.

Two warrior skills were unleashed consecutively, and two boarmen fell to the ground.

At this moment, the attacks from the other three boarmen landed on Su Mu.

Ignoring the boarman warriors surrounding him, Su Mu cast a fireball towards the distant archers.

-2320!

Then, Su Mu continued to unleash fireballs at the mage monsters on the wall.

The remaining three boarmen had limited attack power. Before his shield value was depleted, Su Mu was able to use fireballs to kill all the mage monsters.

After dealing with the mage monsters, the cooldown for Frost Arrow and Holy Light had passed.

Su Mu quickly dispatched the two boarmen in front of him and left only one remaining.

"Let's play with you!"

Raising his staff, he struck the boarman on the head.

-206

A regular strike instantly took away one-third of the boarman's health.

-206

-206

But it wasn't over yet. With the agility bonus, Su Mu's attack speed far surpassed that of the boarman. Before the boarman could launch its attack, Su Mu completely depleted its health bar.

"After two rounds of skills, all these boarmen are taken care of!"

Five ranged monsters, five melee monsters, and three mage monsters.

The level 6 melee monsters only gave Su Mu 5 experience points, while the remaining level 7 monsters gave him 40 experience points.

"The experience is still too little!"

Having dealt with thirteen monsters, Su Mu's experience bar only increased by a tiny bit, which made him somewhat displeased.

But when he reached the gate of the camp and saw the levels of the monsters inside, he couldn't help but smile.

Most of the monsters inside were at level 8.

"And who is that?"

One particularly robust and muscular boarman caught his attention.

The boarman stood at a height of two meters, wielding two sharp axes in its hands and wearing a set of heavy armor.

"This guy must be the boss, right?"

After seeing the appearance of this boarman, Su Mu narrowed his eyes.

Considering the number of boarmen in this camp, it would be unreasonable if there wasn't a boss.

"Is it guarding that cave?"

The distance was too far for Su Mu to see the boss boarman's attributes. He could only see the dark cave entrance behind it.

If he wasn't mistaken, that should be his objective for the mission.

"Beside the boarman boss, there are ten other monsters, and their aggro should be linked. This is going to be a bit tricky!"

What worries Su Mu the most is the wild boar-like monsters next to the boss.

"Your consigned equipment has been sold!"

Just as he was about to clear the other small monsters first, a notification popped up on the interface.

"I almost forgot!"

He opened the auction house, and the amount of gold coins waiting to be collected was 70.

"Not bad!"

This number made Su Mu couldn't help but laugh.

Including the previous amount of gold coins and the ones just dropped from killing monsters, the gold coins in his inventory had reached over three hundred.

And that's not counting the miscellaneous items dropped by the advanced monsters.

"Sell the items first!"

The importance of gold coins was self-evident, and since his inventory was already full, Su Mu put up all the unnecessary items for sale.

The number of players in the ShenTu game was incredibly large, and many people were here to make money, planning to earn a fortune during this early stage of the game.

This also led to the decreasing prices of items in the auction house.

Although the white equipment in Su Mu's hands had a slightly higher level, the added attributes were not much, far from reaching the initial high price. At most, they could be sold for one or two gold coins.

As for the health potions, mana potions, and materials, they were not worth much either.

"It's better than nothing!"

After listing the items, they didn't sell as well as they did initially, but Su Mu wasn't worried.

"Oh, let's see if there are any skills!"

Just as he was about to close the auction house, he suddenly thought of something and opened the search bar.

After typing the word "skill," an actual skill appeared on the auction house.

[Fire Rain: Summons a rain of fire within a 5-meter radius of the target location, dealing 50% spell damage to enemies within it. Consumes 200 mana, instant cast, cooldown of 60 seconds (0/5).]

Seeing the description of this skill, Su Mu couldn't help but shout in excitement.

"It's actually an AoE skill!"
