Spellcasting is a Permanent Addition and My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Spirit Fruit, Rune Stones, Large Monster Force! Time is running out!

"brush…"

At the hub of the settlement, light blue light lit up, and Lu Cheng walked out of the portal.

 The first thing you see is the huge bronze tree crown.

 Destroy the sealing stone previously to increase the experience of the bronze tree seedlings and enter the upgraded state.

The bronze tree is growing very gratifyingly. It is now more than five meters tall and is still growing.

 At this rate, it won't be long before the upgrade is completed.

 At that time, various functions of the settlement will also receive a wave of growth.

However, in order to truly transform into a city, one has to wait for the city's heart to be condensed and completed.

Feeling Lu Cheng approaching, the bronze tree seedling was very happy and swayed slightly.

After shaking for a few times, there was a pop on the head, and a spiritual fruit the size of an orange was shaken off, held by a small branch, and delivered to Lu Cheng's hand.

  【Bronze Tree Spirit Fruit】

  【The spiritual fruits bred from the bronze tree seedlings can be eaten directly. 】

[Effect: After eating, gain all attributes +10, upper limit of health +500, upper limit of mana +500, metal life affinity +10%. 】

Lu Cheng took the spirit fruit and took a bite, and the sweet juice immediately bloomed in his mouth.

The taste is surprisingly good.

 After eating the spirit fruit in two mouthfuls, a faint light flashed across his body, and his attributes began to increase.

 In a moment, all attributes were increased by 10 points.

"good."

 After feeling the improvement brought by the spiritual fruit, Lu Cheng was very satisfied.

 The improvement of attributes is secondary. What is more important is the special effect, metal life affinity!

 This effect is his pass to enter the ruins of Toya.

 After eating the spiritual fruit, he opened the storage space.

Now, his storage space is full and he needs to unload a lot of goods.

In the flash of light, Flame Heart Stone and Black Crystal were piled up into two hills, which were collected by the settlement hub.

 Then, the system prompt sounded.

 【Ding, 443 units of Flame Heart Stone and 216 units of Black Crystal have been stored in the settlement hub! 】

 Empty the storage space, Lu Cheng glanced at the bronze tree seedlings again.

 After shaking off the spiritual fruit for him, the bronze tree sapling sank into the upgraded state.

Not far from the root of the tree, a spiritual seedling shimmered.

 【Bronze tree spirit seedling: gestating, remaining time, 1 hour and 52 minutes...】

Looking across, Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

 This spiritual seedling is almost completed.

  Different from spiritual liquid and spiritual fruit, the effect of spiritual seedlings is very unique, and each plant is different.

I wonder what the effect will be if the Bronze Tree gave him this spiritual seedling?

After patting the bronze tree, Lu Cheng turned around and walked out of the settlement.

Now, we are very close to the attack of the thorn giant. If you feel carefully, you can notice that the ground is shaking slightly.

 “Brother Lu Cheng!”

"Lu Shen, are you going to conquer the Thorn Giants? We can also help!"

On the road, many people recognized Lu Cheng, and excitement surged on their faces.

 Suddenly, the chat in the community became lively.

 After repeated crises, in the eyes of these community members, Lu Cheng's status was the same as that of a superstar before the disaster, with huge influence.

"The Thorn Giant has more than forty levels. It's not for you to interfere. I'll handle it."

 Lu Cheng wanted to speak and explain.

 Actually, the progress of settlement No. 1024 is pretty good.

 With the blessing of a large number of attribute points, the combat power of the members of the settlement has been greatly improved, and the upgrade speed is also much faster.

It is only the third day of the disaster, and many people have reached level 6. Some of them are more talented, and some have reached level 7.

 For an ordinary settlement, this is at least the progress one week after the disaster.

But if you want to face a thorn giant above level 40, it is not enough. It is estimated that it will be difficult to break through the defense.

“Real or fake? More than level 40?”

 “No…how can we fight against such a big level gap?”

This information was revealed, and everyone in the settlement was shocked.

 After a few days, they all had a general estimate of their combat power.

When the disaster first came, they were also at level one. They were completely tortured by monsters, and several people could barely kill a monster together.

As attribute points continue to be fed back, their combat power has increased rapidly. Now, they can already defeat monsters of the same level alone.

 But facing monsters that are several levels higher, it is a bit difficult. If the Thorn Giant really had more than forty levels, even hundreds of people tied together wouldn't be able to defeat it!

But soon, someone reacted.

"Wait a minute, Lu Shen said he would handle it... Doesn't that mean that Lu Shen already has the ability to fight against level 40 monsters?"

As soon as this statement came out, the chat in the community exploded!

“Brother Lu Cheng, is he... already so strong?”

“It's really not impossible! Think about it, during the last monster wave, all those mechanical monsters were level 16, and Boss Lu Cheng took care of them easily!”

“Oh my god, it's level 40...I'm only level 6 and a half now, how long will it take to catch up with Mr. Lu Cheng...”

“What are you thinking about? Isn't the current division of labor very efficient? We don't have enough combat power, so we can collect resources first, which can be considered as a contribution!”

 In the chat at the gathering, everyone was overjoyed.

Lu Cheng's improved combat power is also great news for them!

However, some people are dubious.

Even though Lu Cheng is strong, he is a monster of over forty levels that they have never seen before!

“Boss Lu Cheng, if you encounter any danger, let us know and we will support you at any time! Even if we can't help you much, we can still attract some firepower!”

"Those who are with him include me! My talent is life-preserving, and I am good at being a human sandbag!"

 Many people were worried and sent private messages asking for a fight.

“It's okay, I'm enough on my own, you guys just hurry up and upgrade and collect resources.”

Lu Cheng's heart moved and he opened his mouth to explain.

 Unknowingly, the cohesion of settlement No. 1024 has become very strong.

In the future, these community members who have received a large number of attribute feedback will become a good force when they grow up.

But now, they don't need their help to deal with the thorn giants.

 Collecting enough resources to upgrade the city as soon as possible is the greatest help.

 The current settlement is still in its infancy and can only be regarded as a temporary safe zone.

 After it is upgraded to a city, it will truly gain a firm foothold. Each building completed will reflect its combat power.

With this in mind, Lu Cheng glanced at the city preparation tasks.

  【City Preparation Task】

 【Settlement hub reaches level 3 (completed)】

 【Settlement population: 18381/30,000】

 【Number of Level 1 residential buildings: 128/1000, Number of Level 2 residential buildings: 0/100】

 【The heart of the city and special materials...】

Looking across, Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

 The construction speed of the houses was still very fast. Within a few hours, 28 houses were completed.

Furthermore, as the level of the settlement members increases, the source stone fragments will be obtained faster and faster, and it will not take too long to build 1,000 level 1 houses.

Once the resources required for Level 2 residential buildings are found, the requirement for 100 Level 2 residential buildings is not too difficult.

  On the contrary, the population is a big gap.

However, Lu Cheng was not in a hurry.

There is still more than a week left before the treasure ring is created and the heart of the city is condensed, which is enough time for the settlement to grow to a size of 30,000 people.

 In comparison, the various goals he has at hand require more time!

 Devil Exiled Place, Toya Ruins, Second Turn Quest, Nexus Divine Stone Secret Realm, and Endless Drain Passive Layers...

 Time is running out!

While his mind was spinning, he kept walking and was already some distance away from the settlement.

In the distance, you can already see a cloud of sand and dust rising, which is the dust raised by the running of the thorn giant.

 Immediately, Lu Cheng activated his long-travel boots and accelerated forward.

  Within a few minutes, a row of small black dots appeared in front of us.

As the distance gets closer, the small black dots continue to enlarge, and they are exactly thorn giants.

And on these thorn giants, there is a faint black film covering them, which looks very strange.

"Um?"

 Looking across the black film, Lu Cheng suddenly understood.

 In the large monster forces, a kind of runestone will be produced, which has the effect of allowing monsters within a certain level to leave the territory of the force and move freely.

 This black film right now is exactly the effect of the rune stones!

However, the Thorn Giant force is only a medium-sized force and does not have the ability to produce runestones.

 This runestone can only be obtained from large monster forces!

"It seems...this raid is indeed related to another large monster force!"

Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

 Large monster forces, different from small and medium ones, are often located in monster fields, with abundant resources and a large number of monsters.

If he can follow the clues and find this large monster force, it will be a considerable gain for him!

 And opposite him.

This group of thorn giants also stopped, and an extraordinarily tall thorn giant came out from behind, holding a giant tree and looking at it coldly.

 “It was you who… destroyed the blood-eyed monster fish force?”
