Spellcasting is a permanent addition and my skills are all forbidden spells.

A blue light flashed over the body of the Thorn Giant King, and a bronze-level ring exploded.

"Um?"

Lu Cheng raised his eyes and reached out to pick it up.

The explosion rate of ring equipment is really not high. So far, he has only exploded the second one.

Holding it in hand, the properties of the ring are immediately revealed.

…

【Giant King Ring】

[Ring Column]

[Quality: Bronze level. 】

[Wearing requirements: level 25 or above, strength attribute above 220, constitution attribute above 90. 】

[The upper limit of health is +200, strength is +30, constitution is +50, and health recovery is +10 per minute. 】

[Special Effect 1-Giant King: Monsters whose level is not higher than your level 10 will treat you as a Giant King and can be destroyed by detection skills. 】

[Special Effect 2 - Comes with active skill: Powerful Madness. 】

[Gigantic Madness: Used actively, it can double one's strength attributes within 10 seconds. After that, it will enter a destrength state, with all attributes reduced by 10% for 10 minutes. Cooling time 1800 seconds. 】

…

After glancing at it, Lu Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

This ring is obviously suitable for melee professions.

However, his five basic attributes are now exaggeratedly high, which can meet the requirements.

50 points of constitution, plus 200 points of upper limit of blood volume, this improvement is not bad.

As for these two special effects...

Looking over, Lu Cheng's mind turned.

The active skill of Giant Power Madness is of little use to him.

It was the giant king in the first special effect that interested him very much.

This special effect can not only drive giants, but can also be used as a camouflage skill, which may have miraculous effects.

However, we have to wait until the level is improved a bit more.

Putting on the Giant King Ring, Lu Cheng continued to clean the battlefield.

Not long after, the remaining loot was counted.

Apart from this ring, the remaining loot was two or three pieces of white equipment, plus a small amount of Origin Stone fragments, which he put directly into the storage space.

"Next, it's time for the Thorn Giant Totem..."

After refining the Thorn Giant King, Lu Cheng glanced at the experience bar.

This time the monster forces raided, but for some reason only more than 200 thorn giants came.

In other words, there should still be a large number of thorn giants in the monster territory.

Coupled with the experience reward for destroying the totem, it is enough for him to reach level 30.

With this in mind, Lu Cheng set off.

Mana was poured into the traveling boots, and his speed immediately increased a lot.

With the acceleration of the long-travel boots, Lu Cheng moved forward quickly, constantly using flashing skills along the way.

This skill is not an attack type. As long as you use it, you can gain proficiency, which will not delay your journey.

More than twenty minutes later, Lu Cheng saw a flash of dark red brilliance.

As he got closer, the red light revealed its full appearance, a film of light covering the nearby area.

"arrive."

Lu Cheng slowed down and activated the blinding shadow.

This place shrouded in red light is the territory of the Thorn Giants.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the red light, a system prompt rang in his ears.

[Ding, you have entered the thorn giant's sphere of influence. 】

Under the red light, the surroundings were gloomy.

But the strange thing is that wherever you look, there is no thorn giant.

"Is it because of that large monster force?"

Lu Cheng guessed in his mind.

It has been confirmed that the thorn giant forces are related to the large monster forces.

So the current situation is probably the work of that monster force.

There are many large forces. In addition to general upgrades over time, there are also special ways to improve.

It is not uncommon for monsters to be sacrificed with their lives.

He maintained his blinding shadow state and continued to move forward.

As he continued to go deeper, sporadic thorn giants began to appear around him, not many in number.

Not long after, I saw a totem stone pillar standing in the distance, shimmering with light.

However, the brilliance on this stone pillar is not in a balanced state. Instead, it flows downward and then disappears, as if it has been absorbed by something.

"Um?"

Seeing the condition of the stone pillar clearly, Lu Cheng felt happy.

This flow of brilliance means that the totem energy is being absorbed!

At present, the Thorn Giant King has been killed by him, and the remaining ordinary monsters have no ability to absorb the energy of the totem.

The only ones that can absorb totem energy are monsters from other forces!

Immediately, his feet quickened and he walked forward quickly.

Not long after, we arrived near the totem.

[Ding, you have stepped into the area covered by the thorn giant totem! 】

At the same time as the system prompt sounded, Lu Cheng also looked up.

Below the totem, where the energy gathers, there is a humanoid monster with a lion's head and body, with a pair of fleshy wings on its back, like a human-shaped griffon.

At this moment, the monster's back was facing him, its palms pressed against the totem pillar, and it was constantly absorbing energy.

"found it."

Lu Cheng's mind turned, and a True Sight was thrown out.

Suddenly, the light curtain unfolded, and the monster's attributes emerged.

…

【Gryphon leader】

[Level 45, Bronze BOSS]

[HP: 10.33 million/10.33 million]

【characteristic:? Skill:? 】

[Status: Absorbing totem energy]

…

Looking at the monster's attributes, Lu Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

This gryphon monster has a bronze level, but it is only the boss, not the leader.

This is the sign of the power of large monsters!

Among large monster forces, there may be several bronze-level BOSSs, and as for the leader of the force, the level is even higher!

As time goes by, it may reach Silver level, Gold level, or higher!

Among the large monster forces that have taken root for more than ten years and have never been wiped out, there are even bosses with diamond level or above.

But that's all for later.

At the moment, Lu Cheng's focus is elsewhere.

This gryphon monster belongs to another monster force, but it appears in the territory of the Thorn Giant. It is most likely to rely on some special props.

As long as you kill the opponent, you will naturally capture it!

With this in mind, Lu Cheng quietly took out the Origin Stone fragments and quickly absorbed them.

This gryphon leader can cross monster territory and has a high probability of possessing space-type props. If the opponent reacts, he may be able to escape.

In other words, this time, we need to strive to kill with one strike.

Fortunately, the gryphon monster was busy absorbing the totem energy and did not notice him.

Hundreds of Origin Stone fragments turned into brilliance in Lu Cheng's hands, and continued to turn into Source Energy.

After a while, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, you absorbed 800 Source Stone fragments and gained Source Energy +800. 】

Listening to the system prompts, Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

He flipped his hand and raised the Breathing Staff of Grace, launching Meteor Fire Rain and Source Energy Embrace at the same time.

This time, it’s an 800% damage increase!

"boom……"

In mid-air, firelight burst out, thirty-five flints burned, and they flew towards the gryphon monster!

"What?"

The griffin monster turned around suddenly, and then frowned.

He was enjoying absorbing the totem energy and didn't pay much attention to his surroundings.

As a result, a human actually lurked next to him and attacked him suddenly!

None of the surrounding thorn giants noticed it at all.

"The Thorn Giant...is indeed an inferior race, very useless!"

The griffin monster shook his head.

"Human, do you know what kind of opponent you are facing?"

He glanced at Firestone, snorted contemptuously, and then his wings flapped sharply.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose between his wings and blew towards the flint.

Although he is only Bronze-level, he comes from a large monster force after all. With the addition, his combat power far exceeds the limit of the Thorn Giant force.

An attack of this magnitude may be of some use to the Thorn Giant.

But for him, let alone being injured, even meeting him was a luxury!

But the next second, he realized something was wrong!

Under the strong wind, the dozens of flints did not waver at all, and even the tail flame did not fluctuate at all!
