Chapter 79

Although the demonized beasts have already undergone the first wave of enhancement, and some mid-stage first-rank demonized beasts have appeared, they still fall short compared to the abnormal group led by Cheng Yang.

On the way, whenever Cheng Yang encountered a large group of demonized beasts, he would directly activate the "Flower Transplanting" skill, and then the six humanoid artillery platforms would start bombarding. Whether it was the early-stage first-rank demonized beasts or the mid-stage first-rank monsters, they all fell under the attacks of Cheng Yang and his group.

Stepping over the corpses of the demonized beasts, Cheng Yang and his group arrived at the eastern side of Xiangcheng City. About a hundred meters ahead, there was a passage filled with demonized beasts.

This place had been visited by Cheng Yang and his group once before, five days ago. However, at that time, due to his insufficient strength, Cheng Yang had to retreat when faced with a group of long-haired spiders with ranged attack capabilities.

But the situation was different now. Cheng Yang's defense had reached 12 points, which was more than twice the attack power of the early-stage first-rank demonized beasts. Even if Cheng Yang stood still and let countless early-stage first-rank demonized beasts attack him, he would still be unafraid.

"Lord, how should we fight? Should we use the 'Flower Transplanting' skill again?" Liu Hao asked softly from behind a wall.

Cheng Yang shook his head and said, "This time, I'll handle it alone. You guys just watch from the side."

Liu Hao was taken aback and said, "That doesn't seem right. Although you are powerful, there are nearly two thousand demonized beasts. This..."

Cheng Yang smiled and said, "I am now at the peak apprentice level. The strongest demonized beast inside is only a late-stage first-rank, and there's only one. Such a group of demonized beasts poses no pressure to me."

After hearing this, Liu Hao and the others didn't say anything more. They didn't have a direct impression of Cheng Yang's strength, but they were clear that if danger arose, Cheng Yang could escape even if he couldn't defeat the enemy.

Cheng Yang then asked Liu Hao and the others to hide in the ruins and went out alone.

A few seconds later, Cheng Yang had already reached a distance of less than fifty meters from the group of long-haired spiders. At this point, the spiders had noticed Cheng Yang, but they didn't immediately take any action. The groups of spiders with their eight long legs were constantly moving, making a piercing sound.

Cheng Yang had no qualms and directly rushed to a distance of about twenty meters, then instantly activated the Ice Spike skill. A large number of ice spikes fell from the sky, enveloping the six or seven long-haired spiders in front.

There were no mid-stage first-rank long-haired spiders in this group, and they were all killed instantly under Cheng Yang's round of ice spike attacks.

Cheng Yang's attack immediately enraged the long-haired spiders. Since he had already entered their attack range, a large amount of spider silk was sprayed toward him.

Cheng Yang was quick to react and immediately noticed a long-haired spider with a blue-purple body in the spider group. This was a mid-stage first-rank long-haired spider, which could potentially harm him.

Taking advantage of the cooldown period of the Ice Spike skill, Cheng Yang shot an ice ball, accurately hitting the mid-stage first-rank long-haired spider leader. His extremely high attack power was not something the spider leader could withstand, and it was immediately killed with its head shattered.

At this moment, the spider silk from nearly ten spiders hit Cheng Yang's body, but he stood there as if nothing had happened. The spider silk that hit him was like striking a mirror, and it was directly deflected back.

In response to these long-haired spiders, another round of ice spikes followed...

This was a one-sided slaughter. The early-stage first-rank long-haired spiders died in large numbers under Cheng Yang's attacks.

After a few minutes, the late-stage first-rank long-haired spider leader, hidden in the spider group, seemed to realize that Cheng Yang was not to be trifled with. The frontal attacks from the minions were ineffective. It immediately commanded a large group of long-haired spiders to rush toward Cheng Yang, preparing to attack from all sides.

A sneer appeared on Cheng Yang's lips. Using this method to surround him was overestimating his intelligence, wasn't it? Didn't they know he could also fight while relying on cover?

Cheng Yang attacked the long-haired spiders while retreating. When he reached a broken wall, he stopped and began to focus on attacking the spiders rushing from the front.

After quickly killing over a hundred spiders, Cheng Yang suddenly felt a strong wind above his head and quickly dodged, seeing a large object fall from the sky and land at his feet.

Isn't this a long-haired spider? How did it fall from the sky?

Before Cheng Yang could figure out what was happening, a few more long-haired spiders fell from above. If he hadn't dodged in time, they would have directly hit him.

"Damn! How could I forget that these guys can climb walls?" Cheng Yang couldn't help but curse. He had only been focused on the fact that these spiders couldn't break his defense, but he had overlooked that spiders can freely walk on walls.

If it were just the spiders falling from above, Cheng Yang wouldn't need to worry. However, if he focused on dodging them, he wouldn't have the energy to deal with the spiders rushing from the front. If the number of long-haired spiders was small, it wouldn't be a problem, but with over a thousand, they could bury him completely. Even though he was strong, if he was buried, he would be helpless.

Cheng Yang immediately leaped up, using the Ice Spike skill to clear a path while rapidly retreating.

When retreating, Cheng Yang chose a direction and deliberately avoided the location where Liu Hao and the others were hiding. Otherwise, if he rushed straight in, Liu Hao and the others would be in trouble.

After such a long battle, Cheng Yang had already consumed eight bottles of mana potion, and the number of long-haired spiders he had killed was close to a thousand.

Whether it was because the leader saw that its minions' attacks were ineffective or because it realized Cheng Yang was too powerful, the long-haired spider leader no longer hid. Accompanied by nearly twenty mid-stage first-rank spider leaders, it directly rushed toward Cheng Yang.

This formation was absolutely powerful in the early stages. If Cheng Yang hadn't advanced to the peak apprentice level, he wouldn't dare to face these guys. However, now, Cheng Yang wasn't worried at all.

As the enemy approached, Cheng Yang shot an ice ball directly at the long-haired spider leader, while the group of long-haired spiders also began to attack him.

Both sides were ranged attackers, and the key was accuracy, evasion, and defense.

In the current confrontation, the hit rate was basically 100% for both sides. Cheng Yang, after more than a year of combat, naturally had excellent combat awareness, and the long-haired spiders' silk-spitting skill was innate, with a hit rate even higher than Cheng Yang's.

As for evasion, it was still very difficult at this stage. Under the rules of the divine, to dodge an opponent's skill attack, one's movement speed must be at least ten times the attack speed. For example, if Cheng Yang's movement speed could break 10 points, he would have a chance to dodge the attacks of early-stage first-rank demonized beasts.

Compared to evasion, defense was much easier. However, evasion was clearly a higher level skill. For example, if one dodged an enemy's attack, the effect of the life potion would continue, but if one was hit but not damaged due to high defense, the effect of the potion would be interrupted.

After a round of attacks, the long-haired spider leader's health was reduced by more than half, while Cheng Yang only lost less than thirty points of health. The outcome was clear.

Cheng Yang, not letting the spider off, immediately raised his magic staff and shot another ice ball. In the leader's panic, the ice ball accurately hit its large belly, instantly gutting it.

The subsequent battle was no longer in doubt. Cheng Yang immediately targeted all the mid-stage first-rank long-haired spiders. After killing over twenty of them, Cheng Yang had only lost about thirty points of health.

Thus, all the mid-stage first-rank long-haired spiders in this group of two thousand were eliminated by Cheng Yang, and the rest were completely one-sided slaughters.

After about seven or eight minutes, only about a hundred long-haired spiders remained, scattered everywhere.

Liu Hao and the others had been watching from the side. Seeing this situation, they couldn't help but rush out, surrounding and exterminating the remaining spiders.

Seeing this, Cheng Yang could only shake his head helplessly. These guys were mostly just joining in the fun. Because with their current strength, each of them could only earn two or three points of spirit energy, which they didn't really care about.

Without paying attention to these guys who were grabbing the spoils of victory, Cheng Yang quickly walked toward the passage, where there might be a treasure waiting for him.

Cheng Yang walked to the center of the passage, ignoring the deep cracks on both sides, and focused on the object on the ground in front of him.

There was indeed an item there, and it was quite large, but Cheng Yang couldn't recognize what it was. He quickly walked up and picked it up.

"Damn! Is this a joke?" After picking it up, Cheng Yang finally understood why he couldn't recognize it. The item was completely covered in mud, and it would be strange if he could recognize it.

Cheng Yang carefully peeled off the outer layer of mud, finally revealing its true form.

It turned out to be a pill furnace.

Cheng Yang briefly checked the item's attributes, which immediately surprised him.

Spirit Gathering Pill Furnace: Silver-grade pill furnace, increases the success rate of pill-making by 30%, and adds +1 to the pill-making skill.

It was actually a silver-grade pill furnace, which was a good item. Auxiliary tools were already very scarce, and even a set of the lowest quality shop items could sell for hundreds of spirit energy points, let alone this silver-grade pill furnace.

Most importantly, in the previous life, there seemed to be no method to create a pill furnace in a year. In fact, not just the pill furnace, but any auxiliary tool, no one had found a way to manufacture them.

Imagine, the equipment used by combat classes could be directly refined by various manufacturing professions, and with good materials, what high-grade equipment couldn't be made? However, for life skills equipment, there was no way, except for purchasing ordinary items from shops or obtaining them through dungeons or wild treasures.
