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

"Roar……"

At this time, these living dead were empty-handed, letting out unconscious low growls, and moving towards the northwest.

Looking at these living dead, Lu Cheng's heart moved.

The environment in the Demon Exile is so harsh that almost only demon monsters can survive.

But the living dead are an exception!

This kind of monster is quite special. It is obviously not a demon, and its combat power is not high, but it can survive in the demon exile.

But what is even more special is another point.

That is, the living dead are born with the ability to sense resources, and will unconsciously collect various resources and materials to build cities, just like instinct.

In other words...where the living dead appear in groups, there are often a lot of resources!

Of course, the three or five living dead in front of me were not a large group.

However, the living dead are gathered in camps.

Kill any living dead in the camp to get the location of the camp!

As his mind turned, Lu Cheng raised his staff.

"boom!!"

A fireball flew past, landed among several living dead, and exploded!

The next moment, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, you killed 5 living dead (level 50), obtained soul fragments +11, and the source energy limit +5. 】

The kill tips this time are a bit special, and there is no experience.

Lu Cheng had already expected this.

In addition to sensory resources, the living dead also have a special characteristic.

That is, you cannot gain experience by killing ordinary living dead. All experience is concentrated on the leader.

However, he didn't care.

These three or five living dead didn't have much experience to begin with.

On the other hand, the leader of the living dead provides quite a lot of experience, often in the millions!

"brush……"

A series of faint lights lit up on the living dead, converging towards Lu Cheng, sketching a map in his mind.

On the map, a location is highlighted, presumably the living dead camp.

"so far?"

Lu Cheng couldn't help but be surprised as he scanned the map in his mind.

The living dead moved slowly, and he thought the camp was nearby.

But the location marked on the map was quite far away from him, at least two or three hours away!

This is still his speed.

If it were replaced by these living dead, it would probably take ten days and a half to make a round trip.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng's heart moved.

The living dead move slowly and generally do not stray too far from their camp.

This is a special situation now.

"Is... sensing high-level materials?"

Lu Cheng's thoughts flashed and he guessed.

But then, he shook his head slightly.

These living dead are not even elites and have no ability to distinguish between good and bad materials.

There may be other reasons for appearing here.

After glancing at the countdown, Lu Cheng quickly wrote down the map.

Then, continue to explore.

The main goal of this trip is to find the dark attribute source stone.

As for the living dead camp... the two or three hours' journey was a bit costly for him.

Although the Demon Exile Pass has 8 charges, it converts to 8 hours.

The means to replenish the energy of the pass can only be found in the abyss.

Before you can enter the abyss, use these 8 opportunities one at a time and lose one at a time.

In other words, he needs to find the entrance to the abyss within these 8 hours.

In comparison, the priority of the living dead camp has to be put back.

Once he finds the entrance to the abyss, he can recharge the pass repeatedly and enter and exit the Demon Exile at will. It won't be too late to explore again when the time comes.

As his mind turned, Lu Cheng moved forward quickly.

Now, there is still more than half an hour left in his stay.

The dark attribute stone is nearby, let’s see if we can find it!

"Whoosh..."

As he gradually moved forward, the air flow composed of dark energy became stronger and stronger, making strange noises.

Feeling the intensity of the airflow, Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

The stronger the evil wind, the closer he is to the dark attribute stone!

Immediately, Lu Cheng kept walking and hurried on.

Not long after, a rocky mountain appeared in front of him.

This rocky mountain is seven to eight hundred meters high, has a gentle slope, and covers a large area.

On the top of the mountain, gray-black dark attribute air currents roared, almost condensing into substance.

"This is it!"

Looking at the dark wind on the top of the mountain, Lu Cheng's eyes lit up.

The dark attribute airflow in this area probably comes from this.

The dark attribute stone will probably be on the top of the mountain!

Immediately, he set off to climb the mountain.

This rocky mountain is not too steep and it is not difficult to climb up.

After a while, he climbed halfway up the mountain.

On the mountainside, large stone walls shimmer with light and appear to have different textures.

As he glanced across it, attributes appeared on each stone.

…

[Level 1 stone: building material, can be collected. 】

…

"Um?"

Lu Cheng's heart moved slightly.

The stone wall in front of me is actually made of first-grade stone.

These are the resources needed to build a second-level cottage!

Based on the scale of this stone wall, it is possible that thousands of first-level stones could be mined.

Lu Cheng thought about it for a moment, but had no intention of collecting it.

Level 1 stone is not that rare and can be produced around the settlement.

Moreover, mining wastes a lot of time, which is not worthwhile at all.

He crossed the stone wall and continued towards the top of the mountain.

As he approached the top of the mountain, a piercing scream suddenly sounded in his ears!

What followed was a sound of flapping wings!

Lu Cheng quickly raised his eyes and saw a large number of bat monsters attacking him!

"Zhizhizhi..."

These bat monsters are quite huge. Their bodies alone are more than one meter long, and their wings can be extended to three to five meters. There are nearly a hundred in number. They scream and rush towards them, and they are close in the blink of an eye!

"Bang!"

Lu Cheng took his time and sent out a shock wave, knocking down the first few bat monsters.

[Ding, you killed 7 demonized bats (level 46), gained +140,000 experience points, and gained +22 source energy limit. 】

Ignoring the system prompts, Lu Cheng waved his staff continuously.

His first priority now is to find the dark attribute source stone. There is little point in dealing with these bat monsters, so it is better to deal with them as soon as possible!

At the tip of his staff, flames burst out, blasting out fireballs.

"boom!!"

"boom……"

Each burst of fireballs can knock down nearly ten bat monsters!

In just a few dozen seconds, all these bat monsters were killed!

"boom!!"

[Ding, you killed 11 demonized bats (level 46)...]

As the last fireball fell.

A system prompt rang in Lu Cheng's ears.

[Ding, you have reached level 31, and you have gained health +90, mana +90, all attributes +9, and free attribute points +60! 】

White light flashed across Lu Cheng's body, sweeping away all the fatigue from his body.

"Comfortable."

Feeling the comfort brought by the upgrade, Lu Cheng felt happy.

Each of the previous forerunners, the Light Spirit, could provide 4 million experience points. After the job transfer was completed, his experience bar was almost full.

After killing these demonized bats, he reached level 31.

After stretching his muscles, Lu Cheng looked towards the top of the mountain.

Now, he was only two to three hundred meters away from the top of the mountain.

However... the remaining two to three hundred meters are not easy to walk.

As we approach the top of the mountain, the slope of the rocky hill suddenly becomes steeper, and there is no point of strength, making it difficult to climb.

Fortunately, he has the flickering skill, which is pretty good.

After sizing it up, Lu Cheng set off immediately.

"rustle……"

Seeing Lu Cheng was about to leave, the metal flower spirit hurriedly flapped its wings and flew up, quickly clearing the battlefield, and soon caught up with an arm full of Originium fragments.

It's just that... given its size, the amount of broken crystals it holds is not that much.

[Ding, you have obtained 33 Source Stone fragments. 】

After putting away the Origin Stone fragments, the Metal Flower Spirit was very satisfied, shook its little head and sat down on Lu Cheng's shoulder.

On Lu Cheng's side, it was very close to the top of the mountain, only the last ten meters away.

"Flicker."

Lu Cheng thought silently in his heart.

Mana radiance surged around him, and his figure appeared on the top of the mountain.

Standing still, he looked around.

On the top of the mountain, patches of gray-black mist shrouded it, making it difficult to see very far.

The ground is extremely smooth, like a section cut out by a knife. It is like a platform and very broad.

On this platform, there are many stone pillars standing very densely, with dark yellow brilliance faintly showing through the gaps.

Looking over, Lu Cheng raised his eyes slightly.

There is no trace of dark attribute source stones around here.

On the contrary, this dark yellow brilliance... looks very much like rock iron sand.

He searched for it and quickly found the light source.

On the back side of a row of stone pillars, a large amount of gravel is accumulated, tightly packed in a granular shape, and shimmering with a dark yellow light.

…

[Rock Iron Sand: First-class material, often found near the earth element environment, used to construct buildings, which can increase the hardness of the building and improve physical defense. 】

…

"This is?"

After seeing the attributes clearly, Lu Cheng couldn't help but be surprised.

This rock, iron and sand is also the material he needs.

But...rock iron sand is a special material that can only be formed in an earth element environment.

Where did the previous dark attribute energy come from?

Lu Cheng looked around and thought about it.

If there is an earth element environment on the top of this mountain, dark attribute source stones cannot be formed.

But... in this case, there is still a possibility.

That is, these dark attribute source stones are not in the environment, but in the bodies of nearby monsters.

Now it seems that this possibility is not small!

But at this moment, the True Sight Necklace suddenly shines brightly!

[True Sight has detected an approaching threat! Direction: Rear! 】
