Chapter 17 It Was Obviously an Accident

The output of the Black Iron BOSS is the highest Black Iron level.

The three Black Iron BOSSes before and after all dropped Black Iron level equipment. He was quite lucky!

Lu Cheng was very satisfied and looked at the Soul Ring Origin.

He had used this kind of thing a lot in his previous life and was very familiar with it.

Holding it in his hand, the properties of the Soul Ring Origin were revealed.

…

[Spirit Ring Origin]

[Quality: Black Iron level. ]

[Effect: Can be used on ring-type equipment, providing amplification, with a minimum 15% chance of upgrading its quality to Black Iron level. ]

[Limited conditions: Ring-type equipment, level not exceeding level 10, quality not exceeding rare level. ]

…

After reading the properties, Lu Cheng nodded.

Just as he remembered, this thing is a kind of equipment upgrade stone.

And it is a ring type, which is quite rare.

Lu Cheng took off the secret ring.

This rare ring was dropped by the mutant stone beetle at level 3.

As he continued to upgrade, it was no longer good enough.

The most important thing is the storage space.

You need to store food, drinking water, and various equipment that have exploded.

One cubic meter is really not enough.

The longbow that exploded earlier was more than one meter long, and it took him a lot of effort to stuff it into the storage space.

"Amplify the secret ring."

Lu Cheng picked up the spirit ring origin and used it directly.

A faint blue light lit up, wrapped around the secret ring, and kept changing.

[Amplifying, it will take twenty minutes...]

The system prompt sounded.

Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

He was still very optimistic about the chance of successful amplification.

Although the effect column says that the minimum chance is 15%.

But the actual chance depends on the equipment itself.

The stronger the equipment, the lower the chance of upgrading. If the level is the top level ten and the quality is also rare, then the lowest chance is 15%.

The secret ring is only level three, and the success rate is guaranteed to be fifty or sixty.

Lu Cheng put away the secret ring, looked at the direction, and started to hurry.

There are still twenty minutes before the monster tide, and the last level 8 BOSS is left.

The highest level BOSS will not leave the monster tide, so it can only be confronted head-on.

It will take about 20 to 30 minutes to rush back to the settlement from here, just enough to complete the amplification.

…

…

Settlement No. 1024.

"Everyone, prepare for battle as planned!"

Li Yuanqing stood at the forefront and gave orders.

"Yes, defend the settlement!"

Beside him, nearly a thousand people from Li Technology shouted loudly.

Suddenly, passionate shouts came one after another.

"Defend the settlement!"

"Defend the settlement!"

There were more than 18,000 people in the settlement at this time, and more than 90% of them stood at the front line and obeyed the command.

If they took a step back, the settlement would be destroyed. At this critical moment, everyone was unprecedentedly united.

Looking at this scene, Li Yuanqing nodded slightly.

Then, he looked at Xiao Muxue and whispered: "Muxue, now... how is the momentum going?"

In just a dozen hours, he changed his opinion of Xiao Muxue a lot.

This daughter of the family did not hide anything when sharing intelligence, which helped him a lot.

And now, she has even been to the front line herself.

Xiao Muxue's face was a little pale. She looked around and said, "No... everyone is still covered with black air, and... it's thicker!"

"It shouldn't be."

Li Yuanqing frowned slightly.

There are no elites in the monster tide. Is it still impossible to defeat them?

"Everyone, take your positions, fight conservatively, and save your life first. In addition, people in the south will evacuate immediately."

Li Yuanqing waved his hand.

He made many preparations and placed the wounded, the elderly and the weak in the south to facilitate escape when the situation is not right.

Following his arrangement, many people quickly moved.

The battlefield is between two residential buildings, and the space is not large.

Melee professions are guarding in the middle of the residential buildings.

The long-range professions are climbing up the residential buildings and guarding the windows.

[Monster Tide Attack Countdown: 5 Minutes...]

The monster tide is less than 500 meters away from the settlement. In the night, pairs of scarlet eyes are staring at us.

"Roar——"

The moment the countdown ends, the roar of beasts and the chirping of insects sound like a tsunami!

Thousands of monsters are running wildly, rushing over like a tide, rolling up clouds of dust!

"Fight back!"

Li Yuanqing roared.

The monster group rushed into the crowd and instantly became a melee!

"Don't disperse the formation, guard the pass, the wounded retreat, and the backup will take over!"

Li Yuanqing commanded, pulled out a magic wand, and struggled to rub a fireball.

He is a magic profession and has some combat power.

"There is a chance! These two monsters are melee, and the damage they cause to us is limited!"

Observing the situation, Li Yuanqing was excited.

But the next moment, something strange happened!

I saw that the ground suddenly bulged, and then suddenly broke open.

A giant robot as tall as two stories emerged from the ground. Its body was tattered, but it was extremely powerful. With a swing of its mechanical arm, it swept away dozens of people!

"Elite-level drilling robot, HP... 140,000??"

Someone shouted, reporting the attributes of the robot.

Almost at the same time, the southern part of the settlement was suddenly in danger!

Just like this giant robot, there were also robots in the south of the settlement that drilled out from the ground and blocked the retreat!

Although they were much smaller in size, there were too many of them, more than a thousand!

Not only in the north and south, but also in the other two directions, there are monsters breaking out of the ground!

Most of the human power is in the north, and the power in these two sides is too weak, and they are broken through in an instant!

"How could this happen?"

Li Yuanqing's eyes went dark.

All the intelligence he received, and even the survivors who escaped from the surrounding settlements, all said the same thing.

The monster tide will only attack from one direction until the core of the settlement is destroyed.

But now, the situation is not like this, and monsters are coming from all directions!

In an instant, the situation deteriorated to a desperate situation!

…

…

Lu Cheng hurried on his way, and when he was still a few minutes away from the settlement, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, the amplification is completed. ]

[The arcane ring is amplified successfully and upgraded to black iron equipment: arcane iron ring! ]

…

[Arcane Iron Ring]

[Ring slot]

[Quality: Black Iron. ]

[Wearing requirements: magic profession, level 7 or above, spiritual attribute 23 or above. 】

[Mana limit +180, intelligence +18, spirit +12, mana recovery per minute +2. 】

[Special effect 1: Active use, can instantly restore 150 mana points, cooling time 10 minutes. 】

[Special effect 2: Provide 2m x 2m x 2m storage space. 】

…

Seeing the properties of the arcane iron ring, Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

The level 3 rare equipment was upgraded to the level 7 black iron equipment, and the attribute bonus alone increased several times.

12 points of spirit, plus the mana bonus itself, this is a mana limit of 300 points!

There are two other special effects, which are also greatly improved.

The active effect of mana recovery has increased from 30 points to 150 points, a huge increase.

The storage space has increased even more, 1x1x1 becomes 2x2x2, and the space is equivalent to eight times the original.

"Not bad."

Lu Cheng equipped the ring and rushed to the settlement without delay.

As we approached the settlement, we could hear shouts and screams from afar, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

"Huh?"

Sensing the blood, Lu Cheng couldn't help but frown.

With such a strong smell of blood, I'm afraid the battle in the settlement was very tragic!

However, the attack of the monster tide has clearly just begun!

Lu Cheng's heart sank.

He had led back two black iron bosses in advance, and if nothing unexpected happened, defending the city would not be so difficult.

And now, it was obviously an accident!

Lu Cheng ran wildly, and a few minutes later, the scene in the settlement came into view.
