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

And at the same time.

In each of these 10 settlements, system prompts rang in everyone's ears.

[Ding, your settlement has been selected into the communication link, and the link is being built! 】

"Communication link?"

Lu Cheng was busy shooting fireballs and was slightly startled when he heard the system prompt.

He also knew about the function of communication connection.

It is equivalent to pulling 10 settlements into a group. In addition to being able to communicate with each other, they can also transfer some props.

It's just... this is a function brought by the settlement connection card. In the previous life, it started to appear one after another three months after the disaster.

How could it happen to him at this time?

Lu Cheng kept moving his hands, brushing up points while checking in his mind.

…

[Communication connection (under construction, a public chat channel will be formed after construction is completed)]

【Connected Settlement: 10】

[Settlement numbers: No. 12 (Lighthouse Country), No. 85 (Lighthouse Country), No. 139 (Universe Country), No. 377 (Japanese Country), No. 909 (Universe Country), No. 1024 (Daxia), No. 1806 (Xiang Country) )...]

…

His eyes swept over the settlement number, and he understood immediately.

Most of the 10 connected settlements are not far from him.

Among them, there are two settlements in Daxia, one each in Japan, Xiang, and Feimao. The universe country has the largest number, with three.

What remains are two lighthouse country settlements.

And these two settlements happened to have dealt with him!

"Is this...the demon god trying to transfer the experience pillar?"

Lu Cheng's mind moved and he made a guess.

The settlement connection has the function of transferring items, which is quite possible!

Once the connection is formed and the channel is built, the Demon God can transfer the Experience Pillar to Settlement No. 85.

At that time, even if he wins the natural selection, he will not be able to get the experience pillar!

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of urgency in his heart, and then looked at the standings.

…

【Natural Selection Scoreboard】

[First place in settlement No. 12: Edmund, with 7538 points. 】

[First place in settlement No. 1024: Lu Cheng, with 27576 points. 】

…

In the standings, Edmund struggled to catch up, but the gap still widened.

Looking at the standings, Lu Cheng felt relieved.

Even if the communication link is completed, it will take some time to build a channel for transmitting items.

As long as you can win the natural selection before then, you can still get the experience pillar!

Except for this.

This communication link formation is not a bad thing.

Through this opportunity, he could also learn a lot of other information.

Moreover, there is a Daxia settlement with a lower number in the communication connection!

However, we have to wait until we win the Natural Selection and get the experience pillar.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng fired the skills in his hand one after another.

"Boom! Boom..."

Fireballs fell one after another, taking away batches of collection robots.

For a time, his experience points and natural selection points skyrocketed one after another!

[Ding, you killed 11 collection robots (level 52), gained +528,000 experience points, and gained +5.72 source energy limit! 】

[Ding, you get +572 natural selection points! 】

[Ding, you killed 13 collection robots (level 52), gained +624,000 experience points, and gained +6.76 source energy limit! 】

[Ding, you get natural selection points +676...]

…

A few minutes later, a system prompt sounded.

[Ding, the communication link is established! It can consume energy and build channels to transport items! 】

[The public chat channel has been formed and can be viewed in the communication function! 】

The communication link is constructed!

Lu Cheng's heart moved and he was distracted to check.

I saw that the public chat interface was very busy.

"Communication connection? What is this? 10 settlements are connected together. Can we teleport to other settlements?"

"Great! I want to go to Settlement No. 12 in the Lighthouse Country. How do I get there?"

"Haha... That's a beautiful idea. Can't you understand the announcement? You can only transfer items! Are you worthy of going to the Lighthouse Country?"

"What is the significance of this alliance? Does it mean that our 10 settlements have formed an alliance?"

"..."

More than 100,000 people from 10 settlements spoke in the public chat.

Since they are all spoken from the mind, and the settlement function automatically translates them, they can be understood.

After a few glances, Lu Cheng's heart moved.

He was thinking of getting information from the settlement connection, and I'm afraid the Demon God had the same idea.

And this public chat channel is one of the sources of intelligence.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng's mind changed and he sent a message in the chat at his home settlement.

“In public chat channels, do not mention intelligence about settlement development.”

Immediately, there was a response in the settlement chat.

"Copy that, boss!"

"Don't worry, we understand!"

"..."

After glancing at the chat in his own settlement, Lu Cheng felt satisfied and immediately stopped paying attention.

As for this public chat channel...

Among these 10 settlements, except for another settlement in Daxia with a lower number, the remaining settlements are located in countries close to the Lighthouse Country.

With the two settlements No. 12 and No. 85 taking the lead, I am afraid that an encirclement and suppression situation will form.

Lu Cheng didn't care much about this.

The current situation is probably caused deliberately by the Demon God.

This isn't a threat at all, it's just disgusting in a public chat.

but……

After looking at Settlement No. 139, Lu Cheng raised his eyes.

He had an impression of this cosmic kingdom settlement.

This settlement's behavior is bad, and its reputation is not good even in the universe, but it is one of the first settlements to be promoted to a city.

The reason is that this settlement used natural selection to seize a powerful settlement treasure!

That settlement treasure, called the Ancient God's Spine, is no worse than the Creation Ring!

It was precisely with the help of that treasure that Settlement No. 139 was promoted to a city in the first batch, and its combat power once led the entire Universe Kingdom.

"At this time, they probably haven't gotten that treasure yet..."

Lu Cheng's mind was spinning.

Settlement No. 139 only came to prominence more than half a month after the disaster. It is expected that the ancient god's spine was obtained around that time.

However, he was not in a hurry.

The Ancient God's Spine was originally a settlement treasure that matched the city, so getting it too early would have little effect.

Half a month's time coincides with the time of creating the treasure ring to gather the heart of the city!

Thinking in his mind, Lu Cheng fired spells one after another in his hand.

"Boom, boom..."

The spells exploded one after another, and the collection robots fell down in batches.

In a short time, all the monsters in the room were cleared.

[First place in settlement No. 1024: Lu Cheng, with 31,980 points. 】

After glancing at the standings, Lu Cheng felt satisfied.

By clearing out the collection robots in this maintenance node, he gained more than 30,000 points and had more than half of his experience bar.

Then, he walked quickly towards the right front passage.

The next maintenance node is not far away, just three lanes away.

After clearing the next preparation node, he can collect 50,000 points and win this natural selection in one fell swoop!

"brush……"

Lu Cheng's staff was raised and flickered.

Suddenly, his figure appeared 40 meters away.

With his flickering skill reaching level 3, he was traveling much faster, and it didn't take long to pass through three passages!
