Outside Moonfall Town.
As far as the eye could see, the city y in ruins, smoke rising everywhere, a se of utter devastation, like a hell oh. Strange-looking mutated creatures roamed the ruins with impunity, eyeing the passing pyers nearby with predatory i.
The sky was filled with rolling bck clouds, lightning fshing and thunder r. The st of death permeated the air.
Navigating through the ruins, Lu Ming headed straight for the level 1-5 wild zone: Shadow Forest.
Within the vast forest, many level 1-3 pyers had accepted the "Who Stole the Ring" quest, f small groups to hunt the forest monsters: Jungle Spiders.
Being novices, they could only inflict minimal damage of 3 or 4 points, making it difficult to take down the Jungle Spiders even with several people attag together.
Lu Ming bypassed them and headed to the other end of the Shadow Forest. He stopped only when there was no pyer in sight.
Roar...
With a low growl, a giant spider, as rge as an adult bull and covered in bck hair, appeared in his line of sight.
Lu Ming cast a Reaissance:
[Jungle Spider] (Physical Type · onster)
[Level: 1]
[Physical Attack: 4]
[Armor: 1]
[Magic Resistance: 0]
[Speed: 1]
[Health Points: 50]
[Skill: Venom (Grade F)]
[Description: A spider corrupted by dark forces, highly aggressive. Beware! Its venom corrode your skin at any moment...]
Sizzle—
A green acidic liquid dripped from its gaping maw, quickly corroding the ground and sending up wisps of smoke.
Generally, new pyers entering Sky Abyss for the first time would need an adaptation period of at least three to seven days when fag such terrifying monsters.
But having died once already, Lu Ming was fearless. He drew his sword and stepped forward with a calm expression. With a deft maneuver, he dodged the Jungle Spider's le venom attad, as he closed in, swung his sword.
Ssh!
Green blood spttered instantly. A blood-red damage number appeared above the Jungle Spider's head—
-5!
Before activating the Soul Ssh talent to summon the Undead Warrior, it was a bit challenging.
Lu Ming was mentally prepared for this. After all, as a Trickster, he rimarily a support role and didn't expect to deal much damage.
At this moment, the Jungle Spider shook its head and unched a terattack. It opes maw wide, lunging at Lu Ming.
He stepped back to dodge the attad swung his swain with a "swish."
-5!
Swish!
Swish!
-5!
-5!
Even with five years of experien his past life, Lu Ming still had to exert siderable effort to take down the Jungle Spider.
Roar~ With a wail, the Jungle Spider colpsed, twitg a couple of times befoing still.
[Ding~ You have killed a level 1 Jungle Spider, Experience Points +1]
At this moment, a silver gloeared over the Jungle Spider's corpse. Simultaneously, a prompt panel appeared before Lu Ming.
[Ding~ Do you wish to refihe Jungle Spider?]
Lu Mi a surge of joy. He immediately chose to refi.
In the moment, the Jungle Spider's body evaporated into starlight, drifting into Lu Ming's hand and disappearing.
[Ding~ You have gained 1 Soul Power!]
At the same time, a summoning panel appeared before Lu Ming, whibsp;dispyed: You currently e 1 Soul Power to summon a tier 1 Undead Warrior!
So, Lu Ming clicked to summon. The sed.
Whoosh!
A three-meter-high shadow vortex tore through space before Lu Ming, materializing. Following that, a dark warrior heavy metal armor, wielding an iron sword, stepped out of the vortex!
Beh the fully enclosed helmet, its eyes glowed with a blue light. Its entire body exuded an aura of death, like a messenger from the herworld. Us gaze, Lu Ming eve as if he was fag death itself! The Undead Warrior's presence was overwhelmingly powerful.
In the moment, the Undead Warrior k on one knee before Lu Ming, demonstrating absolute obedieo its master!
[Undead Warrior] (Tier 1)
[Master: her]
[Level: 1] (Synized with master's level)
[Strength: 3]
[Agility: 1]
[Intelligence: 1]
[stitution: 1]
[Endurance: 1]
[Physical Attack: 3]
[Armor: 1]
[Magic Resistance: 1]
[Speed: 1]
[Mana Points: 20]
[Health Points: 60]
[Skills: None]
...
Si was only tier 1 and level 1 for now, and mass-produced, the initial stats of the Undead Warrior seemed quite ordinary. However, ohe quantity and quality increased, the Undead Legion under Lu Ming, a ten-star Trickster, would be invincible and unstoppable!
Most importantly: having an Undead Warrior meant Lu Ming's spring was about to arrive!
"Let's test the strength of this ten-star talent!"
[War Tread]
Whoosh!
Lu Ming pnted his sword into the ground, and a red aura radiated from beh his feet, spreading outward. Uhe tenfold enha of prehensive Amplification, a massive formation with a radius of 500 yards instantly enveloped the entire Shadow Forest, turning the ground blood-red!
To avoid drawing too much attention, Lu Ming immediately set the skill effect dispy rao normal. The inal 500-yard super aura shrank back to 50 yards. But the effective range of the skill remained 500 yards.
Despite this, the brief moment of skill effect ce still caught the attention of pyers leveling up in the Shadow Forest.
"What just fshed on the ground?"
"Holy crap! Who the hell cast a forbidden spell??"
...
Meanwhile.
Lu Ming ahe Undead Warrio kill monsters."
The Undead Warriripped its iron sword and quickly charged at a nearby level 1 Jungle Spider.
Swish!
With a swift strike, it sshed the Jungle Spider.
-38!
The tenfold amplified War Tread provided an attack boost of (100% Trickster's attack power + 30) points to allies. bining Lu Ming's 6 attack points, it grahe Undead Warrior an additional 36 attack points! This increased the Undead Warrior's attack power from 3 to 39 points!
The strike on the Jungle Spider, which had only 1 armor point, instantly wiped out most of its health bar! Before the Jungle Spider could react, the Undead Warrior swung its swain.
-38!
Thus, the Jungle Spider that took Lu Ming quite some time to whittle down was instantly killed by the Undead Warrior in just two strikes! This power was already parable to a fully armed level 5 pyer!
The kill bes from the Undead Warrior were directly attributed to the master.
[Ding~ You have killed a level 1 Jungle Spider, Experience Points +1!]
Lu Mied the process, refining the Jungle Spider's corpse and using the gained 1 Soul Power to summon a sed Undead Warrior! Under Lu Ming's and, the two Undead Warriors automatically hunted for prey.
The outskirts of the Shadow Forest were mostly level 1 Jungle Spiders. With the War Tread boost, the Undead Warriors could easily kill a Jungle Spider with just two strikes. Thus, the Undead Warriors roamed and hunted, while Lu Ming refihe corpses.
[Ding~ You have killed a level 1 Jungle Spider, Experience Points +1!]
[Ding~ Refi successful, Soul Power +1!]
[Ding~ You have killed a level 1 Jungle Spider, Experience Points +1!]
[Ding~ Refi successful, Soul Power +1!]
[Ding~ You have summoned a tier 1 Undead Warrior!]
[Ding~ You have summoned a tier 1 Undead Warrior!]
...
Before long, Lu Ming had summoen Undead Warriors, reag the maximum summon limit for level 1. Meanwhile, the number of Jungle Spiders killed reached ten. Lu Ming also successfully retrieved the quest ring, marking the current quest as pleted.
However, Lu Ming didn't rush to submit the quest. Because most ordinary quests in Sky Abyss had a tiered mode. Generally divided into ten tiers. For example, the quest Lu Ming accepted required killing 10 Jungle Spiders for the first tier. The sed tier required killing 30; the third tier required killing 50... The higher the tier, the richer the rewards. Each quest in Sky Abyss only be pleted once per pyer in their lifetime, so naturally, those with the means aim to plete the highest tier possible.
Thus, under Lu Ming's and, the ten Undead Warriors advanced in a fan formation, unstoppable and invincible within the War Tread domain with their high attack power! Throughout the process, Lu Ming didn't o lift a finger, simply reaping the bes.
Even though the number of summoned Undead Warriors had reached the maximum, he could still tinue refining Soul Power for future upgrades to unlock more summon slots, st it in advance.
The only dow the moment was the rapid mana ption. Lu Ming's mere 20 mana points couldn't sustain the War Tread's tinuous 1 point per sed ption. So, whenever his mana was depleted, Lu Ming had to take a break, waiting for the 0.1 mana recovery per sed granted by his 1 intelligence, slowly rest his mana before tinuing to kill monsters.
There was no other way, except for those with money, who could buy rge amounts of Copper s, Silver s, or even Gold s at the trading market anytime, anywhere.
Otherwise, pyers with average eiditions could only ehis in the early stages. After all, not everyone could afford the 3 Copper cost of a level 1 mah potion.
When he had killed thirty Jungle Spiders, a pleasant notification sounded.
[Ding~ gratutions on pleting the sed tier of the "Who Stole the Ring" quest, rewards upgraded: Experience Points +100, Copper s +10, small ce of whiteboard equipment +1!]
[Ding~ tinue killing Jungle Spiders to reach 50 for the third tier reward upgrade!]
Uhe Undead Warriors' onsught, Lu Ming successively killed 50 and 70 Jungle Spiders, pleting the quest to the fourth tier! Rewards upgraded to 250 Experience Points, 30 Copper s, and a high ce of obtaining a piece of whiteboard equipment.
Meanwhile.
Whoosh! A beam of golden light desded on Lu Ming's head.
[Ding~ gratutions on reag level 2, five attributes +1, Mana Points +10, Health Points +20, free attribute points +3; level requires 250 Experience Points!]
