MTL - Spellcasting is a Permanent Addition and My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells

Chapter 11 Facing the tide of monsters cannot save the people in the settlement

Li Yuanqing pondered for a long time, closed his eyes and meditated, and kept organizing sentences in his mind.

 In this situation, low morale is a good opportunity to gain prestige.

 …

 …

 The southern edge of the settlement.

Lu Cheng took out the remains of the Lingtai.

Hold it in his hand, and as he injects mana, the properties of this treasure fragment are revealed.

 【Lingtai Relics】

 【Type: Talisman type, does not need to occupy the equipment slot. If you hold multiple talismans at the same time, only one will take effect. 】

　　【Quality:? 】

 【Special effect 1: Mana pouring (the holder enjoys 10% cooldown reduction, can be stacked with other cooldown reduction equipment)】

 【Special Effect 2: Exquisite Seven Orifices (the holder enjoys 10% spell blood-sucking)】

 【Special effect 3: Urgent as a law (the holder's casting speed +20%)】

 …

Looking at the properties of the Lingtai's remains, Lu Cheng smiled.

Now, he finally knows how enjoyable it was to be a Dharma God in his previous life.

 These three special effects may be considered average by others.

 But Lu Cheng was a mage in his previous life, and his family was very clear.

Put it in the hands of a mage, and it will be a real artifact!

 Only an archmage can understand the value of these three special effects!

 First of all, there is the mana pouring.

 Provides 10% cooldown reduction.

 Although, after leveling up, there are many equipments that provide cooldown reduction.

However, the attribute of cooldown reduction is very special and cannot be superimposed!

 Equipment that provides 10% CD, there is no difference between wearing one piece and wearing five pieces, both have only 10% CD.

 The CD attributes provided by Kelingtai Relics can be superimposed!

 It is equivalent to getting 10% of the CD for no reason.

 This is so valuable!

The same goes for the other two attributes, which are the most urgently needed attributes for mages.

 Spell blood-stealing, and casting speed!

 Taking Lu Cheng’s passive stack up to 1800 points now.

 If a fireball hits it, it will **** 180 points of blood.

 It doesn’t look like much, but his total health is less than 200 points!

With the special effect of Seven Orifices, as long as you are not killed instantly, one fireball can fill it up!

 The same is true for the law of haste in Article 3.

  If it were put before, when fighting against the stone beetle burrower, this 20% casting speed would allow him to create an extra fireball between dodges.

These are just the attributes of the Linglong Heart fragment before it is unsealed.

 After the lockdown is lifted, the effect will at least double or triple!

However, he is not in a hurry to lift the lockdown.

 The resources required to unlock the treasure must be produced in at least a level 30 secret realm.

Furthermore, Lu Cheng was very doubtful whether the unlocking resources of the level 30 secret realm could unlock the seal of the Lingtai Relics.

 Put away the remains of the mourning platform.

Lu Cheng nodded with satisfaction, opened the chat box and browsed.

 The previous chaos only stopped when Li Yuanqing spoke.

Li Yuanqing spoke for a long time, to the general effect of acknowledging the disastrous defeat of the advance team, and then stated that the reason why the advance team suffered heavy casualties was that they encountered a level 6 elite rubber monster who commanded the monster wave, and chose to sacrifice their lives in exchange for information about the monster wave.

  Then, he announced the information about the monsters, and called on everyone to join Li's technology in resisting the monster tide, and not to abandon the settlement until absolutely necessary.

 After Li Yuanqing’s speech, morale improved significantly, but it was still quite depressed.

At this time when everyone is generally at level 1, the oppressive feeling of level 6 elite monsters is too strong!

 In comparison, the number of more than two thousand monsters is not that terrifying.

Those who can make it all the way to the settlement may avoid hundreds or even thousands of monsters on the way.

Turning off the chat box, Lu Cheng shook his head slightly.

Two thousand is not the limit of the monster wave. The number of monsters in the formed monster wave will not be less than five thousand.

Level 6 elite monsters are not qualified to lead the monster tide.

 The real wave of monsters is still to come!

 Now, the wave of monsters that scares more than 7,000 people in the settlement is most likely just a small wave of pioneers.

However, Li Yuanqing's information saved him a lot of trouble.

“The fifth-level monster is the silver-backed poisonous insect, the sixth-level monster is the rubber monster, and there is another one…”

 Lu Cheng was thinking in his mind.

 In the twenty years of Daxia, he has experienced thousands of waves of monsters, and he is very familiar with the waves of monsters.

 From a large amount of experience, people gradually summarized the rules.

 Law of Beast Tide 1: The first wave of monsters caused by unlocking a settlement can have up to three types of monsters.

Three kinds of monsters, which means there will be three elite monsters and three black iron-level bosses in the beast tide. As for the type of monster, it is related to the type of the core of the settlement.

The Bronze Tree belongs to the metal life type. Among the monster tide, there will be at least one kind of mechanical monster.

After thinking for a while, Lu Cheng had the answer in his mind and walked out of the settlement.

　　He did not leave from the north where the monster wave was approaching, but from the southern border.

Although Lu Cheng is confident of repelling the monster wave.

  But it is not directly penetrated from the front.

He is only at level 4 now and has only two skills in total. If he is surrounded by monsters, he will be out of control in less than five seconds.

  Naturally, it is a tricky way.

 More than an hour later.

 Outside an abandoned chemical factory, Lu Cheng stopped.

In the factory gate and around the drainage channel, there are large beetles with silver backs and green backgrounds crawling, which are no less big than the previous stone beetles.

There are many crawling tracks on the ground, leading to the north.

Lu Cheng slowly approached and observed secretly.

“It is about 20% faster than the stone beetle and can be kited.”

 After watching it for a while, he made a judgment.

 Then he raised his hand and summoned an energy shield.

 Energy shield skill is only level 1, and its original CD and duration are the same.

However, with the Lingtai Relic, his CD can be improved 6 seconds in advance, so there will be no gap.

With the blessing of [Endless Drain], a level 1 energy shield can also withstand more than 1,800 points of damage, which is sufficient for the current level.

Standing at the gate of the factory, Lu Cheng chose the right angle and shot out a fireball.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification.

-

  1902.

 A fireball fell, and the silver-backed poisonous insects exploded and charged towards them with great momentum.

Not just one, but a dozen silver-backed poisonous insects nearby also rushed over.

Lu Cheng didn't panic and ran outside.

He has already observed the surrounding terrain. If he does not attract more than thirty silver-backed poisonous insects at a time, there will be no danger.

 4.5 seconds later, the fireball CD improved, and Lu Cheng turned around and fired another fireball.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification.

-

  1911.

 The Silverback Venomous Insect's health bar was emptied, it fell to the ground and died, and green liquid exploded all over the ground.

　　【Ding, you killed the silver-backed poisonous insect (level 5) and gained +102 experience points. 】

Lu Cheng is now at level 4. He has skipped level 5 and spawned level 5 monsters. The experience bar has increased a little.

“To upgrade from level 4 to level 5, you need a lot more experience…”

 Lu Cheng glanced at the panel.

After confirming that it was a silver-backed poisonous insect, he kept rolling out fireballs one by one.

 Soon, more than a dozen silver-backed poisonous insects fell down.

 After resting for a few minutes, Lu Cheng's status was replenished.

With the double mana recovery of the Secret Ring and Xiao Muxue's blessing, his mana recovery is very fast.

 He came to the gate of the factory again, stuck in the terrain, and frantically swiped silver-backed poisonous insects.

 At the beginning, one requires two fireballs.

 An hour later, as the damage of [Endless Drain] increased to 2900, he could kill the silver-backed poisonous insect instantly with just one fireball.

 Hands out faster now.

 As the silver-backed poisonous insects fell one after another.

 An hour later, Lu Cheng reached level five.

 At the same level as the Silverback Venomous Insect, it has less experience, only 87 points.

Lu Cheng didn't care about this. Anyway, he didn't farm Silverback Poisonous Insects for experience.

 Three hours later, a system sound sounded.

  【Ding, you killed a large number of silver-backed poisonous insects and attracted the attention of elite silver-backed poisonous insects. The elite silverback poisonous insect will appear in 30 minutes, please stay away as soon as possible. Countdown to 30 minutes...]

Hearing this prompt, Lu Cheng nodded.

Silverback poisonous insects also have swarm characteristics. If you kill too many mobs, they will attract elites and then alert the BOSS.

However, for monsters like this below level 10, there is only one elite in the community.

 The elite monster we have attracted now is the one in the monster wave.

The 30-minute countdown confirms this.

 Because the distance is very far, the countdown is three times longer!

Lu Cheng made a fireball and killed the last silver-backed poisonous insect he attracted. Lu Cheng smiled.

 This is the effect he wants.

 For him, brushing elite monsters alone here gives him greater control than fighting against a wave of monsters.

Facing the monster wave directly could not save the people in the settlement, so he chose to take a curve to save the country!
