Chapter 11: Facing the Monster Tide Can't Save the People of the Settlement
Li Yuanqing pondered for a long while, closed his eyes and meditated, his mind constantly organizing sentences.
In this situation, morale is low, it is a good opportunity to gain prestige.
…
…
The southern edge of the settlement.
Lu Cheng took out the Lingtai Relics.
Holding it in his hand, the properties of this treasure fragment were revealed.
[Lingtai Relics]
[Type: Amulet, does not need to occupy equipment slots, and if multiple amulets are held at the same time, only one will be effective. ]
[Quality:? ]
[Special effect 1: Mana pouring (the holder enjoys 10% cooldown reduction, which can be stacked with other cooldown reduction equipment)]
[Special effect 2: Seven-aperture exquisite (the holder enjoys 10% spell blood sucking)]
[Special effect 3: Ji Ji Ru Law (the holder's casting speed +20%)]
…
Looking at the properties of the Lingtai Relics, Lu Cheng smiled.
Now, he knows how cool the god of law was in his previous life.
These three special effects may be considered ordinary by others.
But Lu Cheng was a mage in his previous life, so he knows everything.
In the hands of a mage, it is a real artifact!
Only a great mage can understand the value of these three special effects!
First, there is the mana pouring.
It provides 10% cooldown reduction.
Although, after the level goes up, there are many equipment that provide cooldown reduction.
However, the cooldown reduction attribute is very special and cannot be stacked!
For equipment that provides 10% CD, there is no difference between wearing one piece and wearing five pieces, both of which only have 10% CD.
But the CD attribute provided by the spiritual platform remains can be stacked!
It is equivalent to adding 10% CD for no reason.
This is precious!
The other two are the same, which are the most needed attributes for mages.
Spell bloodsucking and casting speed!
With Lu Cheng's current 1800-level passive.
A fireball spell hits down, and the bloodsucking is 180 points.
It doesn't look much, but his total blood volume is less than 200 points!
With the special effect of Seven-hole Linglong, as long as he is not killed instantly, a fireball can be fully absorbed!
The same is true for the third one, Jiji Rulu.
If it was put before, when fighting against the Stone Beetle Cave Dweller, this 20% casting speed would allow him to cast one more fireball in the gap between evasion.
This is just the attribute of the Linglong Heart Fragment before it is unsealed.
After unsealing, the effect will at least double or triple!
However, he is not in a hurry to unseal it.
The resources needed to unseal the treasure will be produced in at least the 30th level secret realm.
Moreover, Lu Cheng is very skeptical whether the resources unsealed in the 30th level secret realm can unseal the seal of the Lingtai Relics.
Put away the Lingtai Relics.
Lu Cheng nodded with satisfaction and opened the chat box to swipe.
The previous chaos stopped when Li Yuanqing spoke.
Li Yuanqing spoke for a long time, which basically admitted the defeat of the advance team, and then said that the reason why the advance team suffered heavy casualties was that they encountered a level 6 elite rubber monster that led the monster tide, and chose to exchange their lives for information about the monster tide.
Then, he announced the information of the monster and called on everyone to resist the monster tide with Li's Technology, and not to give up the settlement until it was absolutely necessary.
After Li Yuanqing's speech, morale was obviously boosted, but it was still quite depressing.
At this time when everyone is generally still level 1, the oppression of the level 6 elite monster is too strong!
In comparison, the number of more than 2,000 monsters is not so terrifying.
Those who can rush all the way to the settlement may have avoided hundreds or thousands of monsters on the way.
After closing the chat box, Lu Cheng shook his head slightly.
Two thousand is not the limit of the monster tide. The number of monsters in a formed monster tide will not be less than 5,000.
Level 6 elite monsters are not qualified to lead the monster tide.
The real monster tide is still behind!
Now, the monster tide that frightened more than 7,000 people in the settlement was probably just a small wave of vanguards.
However, Li Yuanqing's information saved him a lot of trouble.
"Level 5 monster silver-backed poisonous insect, level 6 monster rubber monster, that means there is another kind..."
Lu Cheng thought in his heart.
In the twenty years of Daxia, he had experienced thousands of monster tides, and he was too familiar with monster tides.
From a lot of experience, people gradually summed up the rules.
Law of Beast Tide 1: The first wave of monster tides brought by the settlement unlocking has a maximum of three types of monsters.
Three monsters mean that there will be three elite monsters and three black iron-level BOSSes in the beast tide.
As for the types of monsters, it is related to the types of the settlement core.
Bronze trees belong to the metal life type, so there will be at least one mechanical monster in the monster tide.
After a little thought, Lu Cheng had the answer in his mind and stepped out of the settlement.
He did not go out from the north where the monster tide was approaching, but left from the southern border.
Although Lu Cheng was confident of repelling the monster tide.
But he did not directly break through it head-on.
He is only level 4 now, with only two skills. If he is surrounded by monsters, he will die in less than five seconds.
Naturally, he used a tricky method.
More than an hour later.
Outside an abandoned chemical plant, Lu Cheng stopped.
Inside the factory gate, around the drainage ditch, there were large beetles with silver backs and green bottoms crawling, and their size was no less than the previous stone beetles.
There were crawling traces on the ground, leading to the north, and there were many of them.
Lu Cheng slowly approached and observed secretly.
"The speed is about 20% faster than the stone beetle, and it can be kited."
After watching for a while, he made a judgment.
Then he raised his hand and summoned an energy shield.
The energy shield skill is only level 1, and its CD and duration are originally equal.
However, with the spirit platform relic, his CD can be turned on 6 seconds in advance, and there will be no gaps.
With the blessing of [Endless Drainage], the level 1 energy shield can also withstand more than 1,800 points of damage, which is enough for the current level.
Standing at the factory gate, Lu Cheng chose the right angle and rubbed a fireball.
"Bang."
-
1902.
As a fireball fell, the silver-backed poisonous insect made an explosion and rushed over with momentum.
Not only one, but more than a dozen silver-backed poisonous insects nearby also rushed over.
Lu Cheng ran out without panic.
He had already observed the surrounding terrain. If he did not attract more than 30 silver-backed poisonous insects at a time, there would be no danger.
After 5 seconds, the fireball CD was turned on, and Lu Cheng turned around and fired another fireball.
"Bang."
-
1911.
The silver-backed poisonous insect's health bar was emptied, and it fell to the ground and died, exploding into a green pulp.
[Ding, you killed the Silverback Poisonous Bug (level 5), and gained +102 experience points. ]
Lu Cheng is now level 4, and he surpassed his level to kill a level 5 monster, and his experience bar increased a little.
"Level 4 to level 5, 22,000 experience points are required..."
Lu Cheng glanced at the panel.
After confirming that it was a Silverback Poisonous Bug, he kept rubbing fireballs one by one.
Soon, more than a dozen Silverback Poisonous Bugs fell.
After a few minutes of rest, Lu Cheng's status was full.
With the double mana recovery from the Secret Ring and Xiao Muxue's blessing, his mana recovered quickly.
He came to the factory gate again and scoured the Silverback Poisonous Bugs frantically according to the terrain.
At first, one needed two fireballs.
An hour later, as the number of layers of [Endless Drainage] reached 2900, he only needed one fireball to kill the Silverback Poisonous Bug instantly.
This time, the scouting was faster.
As the Silverback Poisonous Bugs fell one by one.
Another hour later, Lu Cheng reached level 5.
Being at the same level as the silver-backed poisonous insect, the experience is less, only 87 points.
Lu Cheng didn't care about this, anyway, he didn't farm silver-backed poisonous insects for experience.
Three hours later, a system voice sounded.
[Ding, you killed a large number of silver-backed poisonous insects, attracting the attention of elite silver-backed poisonous insects. Elite silver-backed poisonous insects will appear in 30 minutes, please stay away as soon as possible. Countdown 30 minutes...]
Listening to this prompt, Lu Cheng nodded.
Silver-backed poisonous insects also have the characteristics of a group. If too many small monsters are killed, elites will be attracted, and then the boss will be alarmed.
However, for monsters below level 10, there is only one elite in the group.
The elite monster attracted now is the one in the monster tide.
The 30-minute countdown confirmed this point.
Because the distance is far, the countdown is three times longer!
Lu Cheng smiled after rubbing a fireball and killing the last silver-backed poisonous insect attracted.
This is the effect he wants.
For him, it is much easier to kill elite monsters alone here than in a monster tide.
Facing the monster tide directly cannot save the people in the settlement, so he chooses to save the country in a roundabout way!
