Chapter 32 Breakthrough to Tier 3
"roar!"
A terrifying roar echoed from the mound, and upon hearing it, sections of the city wall collapsed, and countless enormous, worm-like monsters emerged from the ground.
These insect monsters were tens of meters long, with mouths full of sharp teeth.
Burrowing worms
Rank: 3
Power: 15
Agility: 10
Physical condition: 15
Intelligence: 1
Perception: 1
Charisma: 1
Skills: Digging (Tier 1), Burrowing (Tier 2), Eating Stones and Soil (Tier 2), Quick Digging (Tier 3)
"A Tier 3 monster?"
Zhang Changsheng's pupils contracted, and he moved backward, leaping a few times before landing behind the city wall.
Roar!
Countless monsters emerged from the holes dug by these insects, instantly covering the surrounding city walls.
boom!
Behind Zhang Changsheng, a burrowing insect emerged, opening its enormous mouth to bite him.
brush!
Zhang Changsheng moved swiftly, easily dodging the attack thanks to his 15 points of agility.
"10 points in Agility, and doesn't seem to have any offensive skills, so it looks like it can be used for a fight."
While checking the information about the burrowing worms, Zhang Changsheng estimated his chances of winning.
"We have to fight. Judging from the current situation, the city is very likely to fall. We must increase our strength as much as possible before the city falls."
Thinking this, Zhang Changsheng felt a surge of murderous intent.
Although the burrowing worm is a Tier 3 monster, it is different from normal Tier 3 monsters. It is more like a tool for digging tunnels than a combat monster.
Just like trucks and tanks, although trucks look intimidating, they are not as dangerous as tanks.
"Cold Wind Technique!"
Zhang Changsheng opened his mouth and spat out a cold wind that swept towards the burrowing insects.
"roar!"
After letting out a roar, the burrowing worm charged directly at Zhang Changsheng without any intention of dodging.
Clearly, in its simple mind, Zhang Changsheng was only at the second level and could not harm it at all; it could simply rush over and swallow him whole.
Click!Click!Click!
After being hit by the cold wind, ice rose from the surface of the burrowing worm's body, freezing it instantly.
Although the ice on the burrowing worm's surface began to crack in the next second, that was enough time.
brush!
Zhang Changsheng appeared in front of the burrowing worm in a flash, demonstrating the true value of third-order speed.
"Fireball!"
Zhang Changsheng jumped in front of the burrowing worm's head and threw a punch.
The terrifying wave of fire shattered the ice and penetrated the burrowing insects' sharp teeth and claws.
The flames traveled down the esophagus and into the burrowing worm's stomach.
boom!
An explosion occurred inside the burrowing worm.
Compared to the toughness of the body surface, the internal organs are much more fragile, even with 15 points of constitution.
"roar!"
The burrowing worm let out a mournful cry, broke free of the ice, and slammed its massive body toward Zhang Changsheng.
Seeing this, Zhang Changsheng shifted his feet and dodged to the side.
boom!
The giant burrowing worm landed, creating an enormous crater; this thing was just too big.
"Fireball!"
Zhang Changsheng punched the burrowing worm in the waist, creating a small crater.
The muscles and skin of the burrowing worm are too tough.
Even though Zhang Changsheng's strength had reached 15 points, he was still unable to break through the burrowing worm's muscles with a single blow.
"roar!"
The burrowing insect turned and bit Zhang Changsheng.
"Light Shield!"
Zhang Changsheng raised his hand and unleashed a beam of light.
boom!
The burrowing worm was struck as if by an impenetrable wall, its head bleeding profusely, and it fell backward.
If the burrowing worm had a third-tier attack skill, Zhang Changsheng wouldn't dare to confront it head-on.
Unfortunately, this insect only knew how to burrow and had no offensive skills whatsoever.
"Cold Wind Technique!"
Zhang Changsheng opened his mouth and spat out a gust of cold wind that swept up the burrowing insects, freezing them once again.
"Fireball!"
Zhang Changsheng threw another punch, striking the wound he had just inflicted.
Due to the alternation of hot and cold temperatures, the burrowing insects' defenses have become much weaker.
boom!
The burrowing worm's muscles were blown open, revealing its blood-red bones and internal organs.
"roar!"
The burrowing worms began rolling on the ground, trying to crush Zhang Changsheng to death.
Unfortunately, Zhang Changsheng was too fast, and he covered a great distance in just a few steps.
The burrowing beetle's frantic rolling on the ground had absolutely no effect.
"Cold Wind Technique!"
Zhang Changsheng exhaled a chilling wind once more and charged towards the burrowing worm.
Just as the burrowing worm was frozen, Zhang Changsheng threw another punch.
Fireball!
boom!
The burrowing worm's wound grew larger, breaking off a quarter of its length, with countless drops of blood and charred internal organs flowing out.
Even so, this terrifying monster did not die.
"roar!"
The burrowing worm went berserk and began attacking everything around it indiscriminately.
brush!
Zhang Changsheng dodged attacks with ease, as if dancing on a knife's edge, thanks to his 15 points of agility.
"Fireball!"
Zhang Changsheng seized another opportunity to attack, throwing a punch that struck the burrowing worm's wound.
The terrifying wave of fire instantly blasted the burrowing worm in two.
"roar!"
The burrowing worm roared angrily, and even when broken in two, it did not die, much like an earthworm, with extremely tenacious vitality.
"No-fly spell!"
Zhang Changsheng moved swiftly, appearing behind the burrowing worm, and then used a no-fly spell.
call!
Zhang Changsheng's right hand generated a terrifying suction force, like a suction technique, pulling the burrowing worm's internal organs out of the wound.
"roar!"
The moment it lost all its internal organs, the burrowing worm collapsed in despair.
"Indeed, having many skills is never a bad thing; even a first-tier spell is useful."
Looking at the fallen burrowing worm, Zhang Changsheng nodded in satisfaction and threw another punch.
Fireball!
boom!
The fire wave robbed the burrowing worm of its last chance of survival.
You killed the Tier 3 Burrowing Bug!
[The slaughter and plundering have begun!]
You have plundered the third-tier spell "Earth Dragon" from the bloodline of a third-tier burrowing worm.
[Under the effects of the spell! Your Strength has reached 15 points! Your Agility has reached 15 points! Your Constitution has reached 15 points!]
[Note! Killing a Tier 3 Burrowing Worm again will not grant you a spell!]
"Um!"
"Have all attributes reached 15 points? This time the notification is a little different!"
Zhang Changsheng's eyes flickered slightly, and a new prompt appeared again.
[Notification! Your maximum attribute points have reached 15!]
You will advance to a third-tier wizard!
Your intelligence has increased by 15!
Your perception level is now 15!
Your charm level is now 15!
You have acquired the third-tier spells "Thunder Dragon Blast", "Ice Dragon Bite", and "Wind Serpent Strike".
"All attributes increased by 15 points!"
Zhang Changsheng felt the surging power within his body and nodded in satisfaction.
"Earth Dragon Technique!"
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Changsheng used the Earth Dragon Technique he had just acquired.
Zhang Changsheng grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground with his right hand.
brush!
Zhang Changsheng raised his hand and flicked the soil, which transformed into a giant earth dragon that crashed into the monster horde.
Monsters touched by the Earth Dragon all turned into earth and scattered on the ground, leaving only extraordinary materials. Only extraordinary materials are immune to earth transformation.
"Not bad spell."
Zhang Changsheng's eyes lit up slightly as he continued experimenting with the next third-tier spell.
"Thunder Dragon Explosion!"
Blue and white lightning crackled around Zhang Changsheng, transforming him into a lightning dragon that crashed into the monster horde, crushing them one by one.
The moment Zhang Changsheng stopped charging, the lightning on his body exploded like dynamite, instantly killing the surrounding monsters. The explosions were like missiles, creating a massive area of destruction.
"A purely offensive skill, with no other effects."
"The only advantage is that the blast radius is very large, which is good for clearing out cannon fodder."
Zhang Changsheng thought,
"Ice Dragon Bite!"
Zhang Changsheng raised his hand and waved, and an ice dragon rose up.
Wherever the ice dragon passed, countless monsters were frozen in place.
"Not bad, not bad. Although the damage is average, it can freeze the enemy."
After nodding in satisfaction, Zhang Changsheng used his last third-tier spell, "Wind Serpent Strike".
brush!
Zhang Changsheng left a trail of afterimages, his figure multiplying into three, and slashed at a monster.
"A clone technique?"
Zhang Changsheng was somewhat surprised. After using the Wind Serpent Strike, he could summon two clones to attack the enemy together. After hitting the enemy, the clones would disappear.
"This spell might be able to confuse the enemy, for example, by controlling a clone to attack the enemy while the main body escapes or hides in a more secluded place."
Zhang Changsheng immediately thought of several good ways to use the Wind Serpent Strike.
"You've advanced?"
The captain of the guards noticed Zhang Changsheng's extraordinary prowess and was filled with shock.
"It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. They're breaking through in battle, while I'm stuck at level two. I'm almost level 50."
The captain of the guard sighed inwardly.
Boom! Boom!
During Zhang Changsheng's battle, the monsters gained the upper hand thanks to the tunnels they had dug.
The adventurers and guards defending the city were caught off guard, especially the wizards, who were not good at close combat and suffered the most casualties.
"boom!!!!"
Just as the adventurers and guards were about to be driven off the city walls, a beam of white light shot into the sky from the very center of Black Dragon City.
With a thunderous roar, a massive tower rose.
Then, a circle of white light, or rather a white barrier, spread outwards from the tower.
boom!
Where the white barrier passed, all monsters except for fourth- and third-tier monsters, including first- and second-tier monsters and ordinary monsters, died and disappeared as white dots.
While the third and fourth-tier monsters were not killed, they were also thrown back by the immense force.
"The Magic Tower?"
Zhang Changsheng recognized the tower as a structure built by a powerful mage, something only a powerful empire could afford, as it was extremely expensive.
"Hurry and treat the wounded!"
"This barrier tower will only last for 5 hours, we only have 5 hours to rest, hurry up!"
……
Under the command of the city's garrison commander, wizards with healing abilities entered the arena.
"Is 5 hours a safe time?"
Zhang Changsheng's eyes flickered slightly before he walked towards the Adventurers' Guild.
"Where are you going, sir wizard?"
The last guard, or rather, the supervisory team, had a young soldier speak up, very politely.
"I need to go back to the Adventurers' Guild to turn in the quest and collect today's reward."
Zhang Changsheng raised the magic map in his hand and spoke softly.
"Excuse me, sir."
"According to the general's orders, no one is allowed to leave; no one is permitted to leave."
The soldier shook his head slightly and spoke politely again.
"Aren't we allowed to leave?"
Zhang Changsheng raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at the fourth-tier wizards in the distance, and suppressed the urge to leave.
"Since we can't leave, is there a place where we can craft equipment?"
Zhang Changsheng asked again.
He had just broken through to the third tier and happened to have two third-tier monster corpses on hand, which could be used to craft a set of third-tier equipment.
"Where should I go to craft equipment?"
After thinking for a moment, the guard pointed to a white tent in the distance.
Thanks.
After expressing his gratitude, Zhang Changsheng walked towards the white tent.
"They won't let anyone leave. It seems that in the eyes of the city's commanders, Black Dragon City could fall at any moment."
"That's why we won't let anyone leave."
"After all, in such a critical moment, every extra person means an extra bit of strength."
"But doing this might backfire and spread panic, since nobody's a fool."
As Zhang Changsheng pondered, he approached the white tent.
The owner of the white tent was a white-bearded old man holding a spellbook, a powerful third-tier wizard.
Upon seeing Zhang Changsheng arrive, the old wizard put down his spellbook and asked, "Are you here to repair equipment? Or to forge equipment? Or perhaps to buy equipment?"
"I'm here to craft equipment; I have burrowing worms and the carcasses of shock bulls."
Zhang Changsheng spoke up.
"Burning worms and impact bulls?"
After thinking for a moment, the old wizard raised his hand and a small booklet flew into Zhang Changsheng's hand.
"The equipment here can all be crafted using materials from Impact Bulls and Burrowing Bugs. You can choose one yourself."
As the old wizard spoke, he picked up his spellbook and began to read.
Thanks.
After nodding, Zhang Changsheng seemed to remember something and spoke again: "In the battle just now, I killed a lot of monsters. I wonder where I can collect my reward."
"Without compensation, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay for crafting Tier 3 equipment."
"Then let's put it on the tab. We'll pay you after this monster siege is over."
The old wizard thought for a moment and then said...
"Thank you."
Zhang Changsheng expressed his gratitude, his tone full of sincerity.
"You're welcome. If you could leave, you probably wouldn't have come here."
"Why!"
At this point, the old wizard shook his head and sighed, seemingly lost in thought.
Zhang Changsheng quickly finished reading the booklet in his hand and selected his equipment.
The equipment he chose were:
One:
Impact Lance
Rank: 3
Quality: Top Grade
Effect 1: Intelligence Overwhelming (When your lance hits an enemy, if your intelligence is higher than the enemy's, your strength increases by 2, and you ignore the enemy's physical defense).
Effect 2: Heavy (The impact lance is extremely heavy; Agility -2, 15 points of Strength can negate this negative effect.)
Effect 3: Mounted Charge (While riding a mount, the mount gains +1 Agility.)
Description: This is a strange weapon. It's unclear whether it's meant for a wizard or a knight.
two:
Impact Heavy Armor
Rank: 3
Quality: Top Grade
Effect 1: Frenzied Wildness (Intelligence -1, Strength +1.)
Effect 2: Heavy (Impacting heavy armor is extremely heavy; Agility -2, 15 points of Strength can negate this negative effect.)
Effect 3: Indestructible (When attacked by physical attacks, damage is reduced by 30%, and the user is immune to all attacks below 15 points of Strength.)
Description: Wearing this heavy armor will turn a professional into a mentally unstable madman, requiring the use of equipment that increases intelligence.
