Spellcasting is a permanent addition and my skills are all forbidden spells.

Chapter 12 You alarmed the Silver-backed Poisonous Insect King!
  There are still seven hours and fourteen minutes left before the monster wave attacks the settlement.

Five hours later, more than 6,000 people arrived at the settlement, bringing the population to 13,000.

Among them, most people choose to go out to level up.

Before the tide of monsters comes, the more strength you can have, the more sure you can survive.

Only when they are exhausted or injured do they return to the settlement to recuperate.

On the north side of the settlement, many people looked hard and looked worried.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The ground shook slightly.

Hearing the shaking sound, many people's expressions changed.

This is the sound of the monster tide marching across the earth!
  "This... is the movement that two thousand monsters can make?"

In the crowd, a young man's face turned pale.

He had seen the military parade in the capital of Daxia. Five thousand soldiers marched in order, but they could not let the ground tremble slightly and spread so far.

The real number of monsters is probably much higher than two thousand!

He looked around and saw many frightened faces.

He is not the only one who realizes this!
  ……

……

Abandoned factory.

The elite was still on the way, and Lu Cheng continued to brush the silver-backed poisonous insects while checking the attributes.

……

[Name: Lu Cheng]

[Level: 5 (Experience value: 14%)]

[Occupation: Mage]

[HP: 190/190]

[Mana value: 347/440+30]

【Strength: 9】

[Agility: 9]

[Physical: 10]

[Intelligence: 10+10]

[Spirit: 23+12]

[Free attribute points: 16 points]

[Physical attack: 14, spell attack: 25+25]

[Skill: Fireball lv2+1 (Proficiency: 278/300)

Energy Shield lv1 (Proficiency: 85/200)]

[Talent: Endless Draining lv1 (Proficiency: 378/1000)

Number of casts: 378
  Skill damage increase: 3780]

[Equipment: Arcane Ring, Beginner's Cloak, Deadly Spellcaster, Lingtai Relics]

……

Lu Cheng has not added any points since level 3, and has now accumulated 16 points.

Equipped with the Arcane Ring and the Deadly Spellcaster's Staff, he sparingly used mana, which was not too scarce.

In addition, there was no shortage of damage, so he simply kept some.

Lu Cheng took his time and could kill a silver-backed poisonous insect with each fireball.

In fact, with his current damage, he can definitely level 7 or even 8 monsters.

The blood volume of the silver-backed poisonous insect is about 2,900, which is relatively thick.

Many level 7 monsters only have this amount of HP.

With over 3,700 stacks of Endless Drainage, one of his fireballs would do nearly 4,000 damage, killing him instantly.

However, Lu Cheng still insisted on brushing the silver-backed poisonous insects.

Now we have just lured out the elite monsters, and there is also a black iron BOSS waiting.

That black iron-level silver-backed poisonous insect BOSS is his real target!
  "Hiss..."

The chirping of insects sounded, and a huge silver-backed poisonous insect appeared in the distance.

coming? Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

Facing the silver-backed poisonous insect elites rushing over.

Lu Cheng waved his staff, added an energy shield, and shot out a fireball.

"Oh!"
-
  3715!

The damage figure of nearly 4,000 appeared, and the silver-backed poisonous insect elite's health bar suddenly dropped by nearly a quarter.

The blood volume of elite monsters is generally about five to eight times that of ordinary monsters of the same type.

With Lu Cheng's current output, there is no pressure at all on single-player.

"hiss……"

The elite silver-backed poisonous insect roared sharply and rushed over.

However, under the bombardment of Lu Cheng's fireballs, the elite poisonous insect quickly bottomed out and fell down with a thud.

However, the elite silver-backed poisonous insect fell, but Lu Cheng did not receive the system prompt!
  "Is there any backup?"

Lu Cheng was extremely steady and retreated far away.

But its body suddenly swelled up and down, getting bigger and bigger!     This is going to self-destruct!

Lu Cheng had rich experience and steadily added an energy shield, hiding his whole body behind the energy shield.

After ten seconds.

"Oh!"

With a loud noise, the body of the elite silver-backed poisonous insect exploded, and dark green slurry exploded all over the ground.

The slurry splashed onto the energy shield, making a sizzling sound like barbecue.

The durability of the energy shield has dropped by more than 500 points.

If he was hit by this self-destruction, he would suffer the same amount of damage!

This does not include the subsequent poisoning and blood loss.

But Lu Cheng was prepared, and this wave of self-destruction did not cause any harm to him.

After self-destruction, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, you killed the silver-backed poisonous insect (elite level) and gained +877 experience points! 】

Elite monsters also have quite a lot of experience, which is equivalent to more than 10 ordinary poisonous insects.

Then, the second system sound came.

[Ding, in the battle to defend the settlement, you killed the level 5 elite: Silverback Venomous Insect, and gained +50 combat merit. The battle settlement reward has increased. 】

Hear this system sound.

Lu Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

This is what he wants.

The reward for defending the settlement is quite generous.

If you rank high, the rewarded items will even be much better than the equipment released by the BOSS itself.

Then, Lu Cheng looked at the corpse of the elite silver-backed poisonous insect.

In a piece of dark green slurry, several rays of light flickered from time to time, which were the exploding equipment.

Lu Cheng slowly approached, rubbed a few fireballs to burn off the poisonous slurry, then took out a few pairs of gloves from the secret magic ring and put them on inside and out, before going to get them.

"Three pieces of white equipment, one piece of rare equipment..."

After counting the harvest, Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

The elite level among monster levels corresponds to rare level equipment.

Unless you are a special elite, the best equipment to break out is rare level.

You are lucky to be able to break out a rare piece of equipment.

Among the four pieces of equipment, the only one he can use is a white one.

……

【Apprentice Gloves】

[Quality: ordinary. 】

[Wearing requirements: Spell profession. 】

[Physical resistance +5, magic resistance +7. 】

……

Except for the apprentice's gauntlet, he had no use for the remaining three items.

The rare equipment is a pair of gloves, which are weapons for fighting professions.

In addition to the equipment, there are more than a dozen Origin Stone fragments.

Lu Cheng didn't care and put them all into the storage space.

The Bronze mission requires the sacrifice of ten pieces of rare equipment, which is just in use.

After taking a short rest, Lu Cheng continued his great work of clearing monsters.

Now, he can directly kill monsters, and his efficiency has doubled compared to the beginning.

It won't take long to bring back the black iron level BOSS.
-
  3818.

[Ding, you killed the silver-backed poisonous insect (level 5) and gained +87 experience points. 】
-
  3824.

[Ding, you killed the silver-backed poisonous insect (level 5) and gained experience points...

……

Under each fireball.

The silver-backed poisonous insects in the factory fell one after another.

As Lu Cheng spawned more and more monsters, groups of more than a dozen poisonous insects rarely appeared outside the factory.

Usually there are small groups of three or five.

Later, Lu Cheng even wanted to enter the factory to kill monsters.

However, there is no danger.

In areas where poisonous insect monsters exist, dangerous mechanical monsters will not appear.

two hours later.

When Lu Cheng's experience bar rose to 91%, the system prompted.

[Ding, you killed a large number of silver-backed poisonous insects and alerted the black iron-level BOSS, the silver-backed poisonous insect king. The Silverback Poison King will appear in 30 minutes, please stay away as soon as possible. Countdown to 30 minutes...]

At the same time, Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

"I didn't expect... I would be so lucky this time!"
