The wounded and whimpering goblin patrolman swung his mace with even greater force to retaliate.
This led to an exchange of blows, with one striking and the other striking back.
They went back and forth and engaged in a scuffle with obvious pleasure.
The mace struck the skeletal warrior, staggering him but doing little damage worth mentioning.
The skeletal warrior's blade, on the other hand, struck the goblin patrolman and dealt him a powerful blow.
After five blows, the goblin patrolman let out a miserable scream and collapsed in a pool of blood.

Another bone material has appeared in Lin Moyu's storage room.
When a player switches to a new class, they'll receive a storage room that increases in size as they level up.
Various items, materials, equipment and food can be stored in this room, making it extremely practical.
Lin Moyu tried to store the Skeleton Warrior, but it was impossible.
After killing a Goblin Patroller, Lin Moyu now knew the strength of level 10 monsters.
Generally, there isn't much difference between monsters of the same level.
With a thought, all 28 Skeleton Warriors were released.
Just like in the beginner dungeons, the Skeleton Warriors quickly dispersed, each seeking their own enemy.
The monster density in the wilderness far exceeded that of the beginner dungeons, causing Lin Moyu's experience to increase rapidly once again, even faster than in the beginner dungeons.

Memories flooded the screen like comments, making it difficult for Lin Moyu to keep up.
At this rate, it wouldn't take him more than an hour to reach level 8.
"It's going well."
Lin Moyu clenched his fist and felt a tinge of excitement.
At this rate, it shouldn't be a problem to reach level 15 before the Grand Trial.
Whether he can get any higher is uncertain and depends on the experience he gains after level 10.
The outstretched skeleton warriors also caught the attention of some pros.
At first glance, they thought the skeleton warriors were monsters.
Only after using detection magic did they realize that they were summons.
These summons were simply too powerful and made killing level 10 monsters a piece of cake.
Some even wanted to find the summoner through the skeleton warriors.
Fortunately, the Skeleton Warriors were far away, and Lin Moyu called one of them back from a distance so that the others couldn't leave any traces.
Lin Moyu changed direction, leaving the wilderness and entering the forest.
The terrain of the forest was confusing, visibility was poor and there was an increased risk of being attacked by monsters.
For this reason, most people avoided the forest.
The skeleton warriors spread out in the forest, unimpressed by its complex terrain.
Gradually, a map of the terrain formed in Lin Moyu's mind, clearly showing every blade of grass and every tree.
An hour later, a light of level advancement appeared around Lin Moyu.
His level had reached 8.
The skeleton warriors didn't pause and killed one monster after another without stopping.
They provided Lin Moyu with a steady stream of experience and materials.
No one had ever leveled up as effortlessly as him.
A mage's mental energy would be exhausted.
Even a knight would be exhausted after long battles.
Every profession needed rest to recuperate.
But not the skeleton warriors.
As long as they were alive and didn't scatter, they could go on forever.
"No more monsters..."
Lin Moyu looked at the empty grove.
In just over an hour, he had wiped out all the monsters in the grove.
Lin Moyu had to leave the grove and go deeper into the forest.
Unbeknownst to him, he was moving further and further away from West Lake City.
As he continued on his way, he no longer only encountered level 10 monsters.
Level 11, 12 and even 13 monsters were being killed indiscriminately.
The skeleton warriors only needed to strike a few more times at most.
Thanks to their resilience, they could fend off blows and deal lethal blows at the same time.
It was as simple as that.
A level 8 character accompanied by a group of high-level Skeleton Warriors wouldn't leave any monster alive no matter where they went.
By the afternoon, Lin Moyu's experience had reached level 9 (99.0), just one step away from level 10.
By this time, the number of Skeleton Warriors had also reached 40, resembling a huge, tireless army that rampaged uncontrollably through the area, overwhelming everyone.
"I can learn new skills at level 10, but unfortunately I don't have any skill scrolls"
"Looks like I'll have to rely on innate skills for now. Fortunately, they're pretty powerful."
"Even without new skills, that won't stop me from leveling up."
Professionals can learn new skills every 10 levels.
There are three ways to learn skills: by taking lessons from a mentor, by studying skill books, or by using scrolls.
For hidden professions like Lin Moyu's, there are generally no mentors.
Since it's a unique profession, there are also no books for him to learn skills from.
The only option is to use scrolls.
Scrolls can be bought on the exchange, with a simple scroll for professions below level 20 costing 100,000 gold coins each.
That's pretty expensive.
When you use a scroll, you'll randomly gain a skill from that profession, but there is a catch.
The skill learned with a scroll is random and may already be known.
If such an oversight occurs, the 100,000 gold coins are for nothing.
In the future, there will also be scrolls for intermediate and advanced skills that cost even more.
Unfortunately, this is the only way for Lin Moyu to learn new skills in his profession.
While Lin Moyu was thinking about this, the light of leveling up lit up again.
Finally, he reached level 10.
