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

Chapter 12 You alerted 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 have, the more sure you are of survival.

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

 On the north side of the settlement, many people looked hard with worried expressions on their faces.

 “Dong, dong, dong…”

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!

"Is this... the kind of noise two thousand monsters can make?"

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

He has seen the military parade in the capital of Daxia. Five thousand soldiers marched in order, but they could not cause a slight tremor on the ground to spread so far.

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

 Looking left and right, he saw many frightened faces.

 He is not the only one who realizes this!

 …

 …

 Abandoned factory.

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

 …

  【Name: Lu Cheng】

  【Level: 5 (Experience Value: 14%)】

  【Occupation: Mage】

 【Health: 190/190】

 【Mana: 347/440+30】

  【Strength: 9】

  【Agility: 9】

　　【Physique: 10】

  【Intelligence: 10+10】

  【Spirit: 23+12】

 【Free attribute points: 16 points】

  【Physical attack: 14, Magic 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, Spirit Tablet Relic】

 …

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

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

 Plus the damage was good enough, so he simply kept some.

Lu Cheng was not in a hurry, and each fire ball could kill a silver-backed poisonous insect.

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

 Silverback poisonous insect has a blood volume of about 2,900, which is relatively thick.

 Many level 7 monsters only have this amount of HP.

 The bonus of Endless Drain has been stacked up to more than 3,700 points. One fireball of his has nearly 4,000 damage, which can kill him instantly.

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

Now we have just introduced 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…”

 Insect chirping 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 rolled out a fireball.

 “Bang!”

-

  3715!

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

 The HP 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 to single-player.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

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

Suddenly, they laid eggs, and under the bombardment of Lu Cheng's fireballs one after another, 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 plan?”

 Lu Cheng was extremely steady and retreated far away.

　　Its body suddenly swelled, expanding and contracting, getting bigger and bigger!     This is going to self-destruct!

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

 Ten seconds later.

 “Bang!”

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.

 Subsequently, the second system sound came.

【Ding, in the battle to defend the settlement, you killed the level 5 elite: Silverback Poisonous 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 rewards for defending the settlement are quite generous.

If you rank high, the rewarded items will even be much better than the equipment exploded 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, and took out a few pairs of gloves from the secret magic ring and put them on inside and outside, and then went to get it.

 “Three pieces of white equipment, one piece of rare equipment…”

After counting the harvest, Lu Cheng was very satisfied.

 The elite level among the monster levels, and the corresponding equipment is rare level.

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.

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

 …

  【Apprentice Gauntlet】

  【Quality: ordinary. 】

  【Wearing requirements: Spell profession. 】

　　【Physical resistance +5, Magical resistance +7. 】

 …

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

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

 Excluding 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 Quest 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 kill monsters directly, 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 the fireballs.

 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.

 They are usually small groups of three or five.

At the back, Lu Cheng even had to enter the factory to kill monsters.

However, there is no danger.

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

 Two hours later.

 When Lu Cheng’s experience bar rose to 91%, the system prompt came.

　　【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!”
