Quietly walking up the hill, Lu Li quickly found the mantis nest. Just as he thought, the nest was just beginning to take shape, and there weren't even any guards.
Lu Li randomly picked up a stone and threw it toward the cave entrance, after a while, a sharp roar came from the cave.
A mantis with a purple body and the size of an adult rushed out of the nest and glanced around with eager eyes.
Its information instantly appeared on Lu Li's panel:
[Name: Mantis Mother (Lord Creature)]
[Level: lv.5]
[Tip: The level of this creature is much higher than that of the player. It is recommended to evacuate immediately.]
Lu Li ignored the last line of prompts and appeared in the sight of the mother mantis. Although his current level is lv.0. But in terms of duel, this lv.5 mantis female is definitely no match for him.
The scary thing about the lord creature is its endless followers, and the followers of the mantis mother are still eggs with no attack power.
With a thought, Lu Li's right arm quickly changed and turned into a three-foot-long blade. The innate ability of the Blade-Armed Mantis [Blade Arm] while pacing slowly, [Giant Strength] and [Rapid Speed] were activated at the same time, once again increasing Lu Li's combat power.
However, Lu Li did not rush to attack, but kept provoking the mother mantis with rocks, which was extremely wretched.
He was waiting for an opportunity, a chance for the other party to reveal his flaws.
Finally, the female praying mantis couldn't bear it anymore and screamed at Lu Li.
Lu Li also turned his steps at this moment and quickly lay down on the ground. The sharp blade transformed from the right arm stabbed directly into the abdomen of the female insect, using the inertia and the increase in power of [Giant Strength] to create a gash.
The female mantis didn't know that the level 0 player in front of her could be so powerful, so she immediately turned around and tried to escape back to her lair.
But Lu Li would never give it a chance. He accelerated his charge, raised his knife and cut off the insect mother's head directly.
Victory in the first battle!
A pleasant reminder came from my mind.
[It has been detected that player Lu Li is the first player in the world to kill a lord-level creature. Will a global announcement be made immediately?]
[Note: After the global announcement, you can get the first kill treasure chest x1.]
The particularity of the post-apocalyptic game is revealed for the first time. When a player completes a certain pioneering achievement, the option of global announcement will appear. If you give up the announcement, you will not be able to obtain rewards.
Lu Li chose to put aside the reward without hesitation, before your own strength is strong, being in the limelight will only bring trouble. Raising his hand to split open the insect mother's head, Lu Li took out a red elemental crystal.
A second-order elemental crystal can add 10 experience points to the player. However, Lu Li did not absorb it, but put it in his pocket. Then activate the soul swallowing ability on the corpse of the insect mother.
[Swallow lv.5 monster soul, soul points +10]
[Plunder ability—Blade Arm (Silver)]
[Plunder ability—Insect swarm deterrence (Gold)]
[It is detected that the ability 'Blade Arm' can be advanced. Will the advanced mission be triggered?.]
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and directly chose to trigger the mission. Without relying on props, the level of abilities cannot be promoted.
But Lu Li was different.
His [Soul Swallowing] is extremely special, any ability robbed by [Soul Swallowing] will trigger an advanced mission as long as the abilities are the same.
Once you complete the task, your abilities will advance smoothly. If the mission fails, his ability will only disappear and it will have no impact on Lu Li himself.
[Ding! The ability advancement task has been triggered.]
[Task content: Kill 100 blade-armed mantises within twenty-four hours.]
[Task reward: Challenger Treasure Box x1, Ability 'Blade Arm' upgraded to Gold level.]
[Number of kills: 0/100.]
"The advanced mission is still so unreasonable..." Lu Li was helpless. It is simply impossible to kill 100 blade-armed mantises on the first day of the apocalypse. It seems that the ability of [Blade Arm] is about to be lost before it can be warmed up.
But Lu Li didn't care. The worst he could do was swallow the soul of a blade-armed mantis and regain his abilities.
He also needs to clean up the nest. Those unhatched mantis eggs are good things. Although the elemental crystal cannot be exploded, each egg can provide him with a small amount of soul points. Accumulated together, it is also a big fortune.
Subconsciously throwing a scout into the cave, Lu Li raised his legs to get in. But at this moment, a dangerous breath suddenly came from the entrance of the cave. There are monsters in the mantis lair.
Lu Li shrank back suddenly, and a strong wind blew in front of him, leaving a shallow blood mark on his chest. A mother insect that was even bigger than before came out of the hole and rushed out with a bared teeth.
"Fuck, there's even a mother insect." Lu Li was horrified, rolled around like a lazy donkey, and immediately opened the distance between him and the insect mother.
If he hadn't developed a good habit in his previous life and dropped a scout into the cave first, Lu Li would have been dead by now.
Just as Lu Li was adjusting his breathing and preparing to use the previous method to kill the insect mother in front of him, a cry of surprise came from behind him.
"Lu Li, come here quickly!"
"Xu Xiao?" Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then immediately retreated towards the direction where the sound came from.
Three figures soon appeared in Lu Li's field of vision. The girl with a ponytail and a delicate face was undoubtedly Xu Xiao.
"Why is she here? Following me?" Lu Li frowned slightly. In his previous life, he didn't have much interaction with Xu Xiao. He spent the early days of the apocalypse and never saw this girl again after leaving school.
Later, I heard that she had formed her own team, and then, there was news that she died tragically in the insect swarm. Lu Li only knew that this girl was very powerful, but he didn't really know what her specific abilities were.
"Lu Li, why are you here alone?" Seeing Lu Li approaching, Xu Xiao quickly asked, and at the same time, she pressed her palms down, and glittering light particles precipitated all over her body. The circle of light spread out, making the girl look like a fairy.
"Amplified ability?" Lu Li's pupils shrank when he saw this, and he immediately understood why Xu Xiao was able to form her own team in the previous life.
Amplifying abilities can temporarily increase the ability levels of all players within the range, and are very valuable after the end of the world, and a captain with augmented abilities can usually easily recruit suitable teammates.
"I thought there were few people in the back mountain, so I came here to try my luck." Lu Li made up a random reason.
"You are really loyal to Zhao Hui. He treats you like this, and you are still so dedicated" Xu Xiao hated it, but at the end of the day, she still protected Lu Li behind her.
"Wang Chao, Ma Han, stop that monster."
"Okay monitor."
Two boys, one fat and one thin, responded in unison, showing off their abilities one after another.
Among them, the skin all over the body of fatty Wang Chao is hardened, hard in texture, and shaped like a tortoise shell. The thin man, Ma Han, pulled out his arms and raised a flaming long bow.
Although the cooperation between the two is still a bit raw, the team has begun to take shape. Of course, Xu Xiao's command is inseparable.
"Wang Chao, hold on, don't fight head-on, Ma Han shoots it in the head, and retreats while fighting."
Lu Li, who had retreated to Xu Xiao's side, felt the changes in his body and asked calmly, "Why did you come to the back mountain?"
"It's not because you worried that something will happen to me?"
