Chapter 97: [Resistance Enhancement]

Hearing this, Gao De finally felt relieved and looked at his surroundings.

The entire team, except for him and the leading Rank 1 magic user, had not a single person who was not injured by the Gray-Spined Bees.

Fortunately, they were all flesh wounds and would recover quickly.

However, one person was unlucky and seemed to have been hit in the eye by a stinger, and was currently wailing while covering his eye.

Clearly, he had lost his combat capability in the short term.

Gao De couldn't help but sigh again.

They had only encountered two waves of battles, and already two people had lost their combat capability.

Most wild magic users were too lacking in both spell reserves and combat experience; once it came to real combat, their flaws were exposed.

"It's good that there are no deaths. The main force is equipped with magic users who have mastered healing spells, and minor injuries will heal quickly, so don't worry."

"And this is only the first day; later on, everyone will be proficient."

The leading middle-aged magic user signaled for a magic apprentice to first send the magic apprentice with the eye injury back to heal and rest.

"We will rest for a while, and then continue."

Having encountered two consecutive battles, the team also needed to rest slightly to allow everyone to recover their physical strength and mana.

Gao De also found a tree and sat down against it.

He took out a bottle of "Blue Light Potion," drank more than half of it, and began to operate the guidance method to quickly recover mana.

In two battles, he had cast 【Fire Arrow+】 three times and 【Blade Protection+】 once, and his already meager mana had long been more than half gone.

In an environment where one could encounter attacks and battles at any time, the anxiety brought by not having full mana was like running out of water in the desert.

About a quarter of an hour later, Gao De ended the operation of the guidance method and opened his eyes.

The mana in his body had already been replenished.

Looking around, Gao De found that most people were still closing their eyes and operating the guidance method to recover mana, while the leading middle-aged magic user was keeping his eyes open, standing guard for everyone.

This was because most people were not as well-prepared as Gao De, who had purchased the "Blue Light Potion" to accelerate mana recovery.

Another reason was that among everyone, Gao De's mana was among the least. With a small total amount of mana, recovery was naturally fast.

And those magic apprentices who opened their eyes earlier than Gao De were also those who had not mastered area-of-effect attack spells.

They had not consumed mana in the previous battles.

Seeing this scene, Gao De simply closed his eyes again.

In his consciousness, the Fengling Yueying information interface had already unfolded.

Source:

Rank 0—【Gray-Spined Bee】 (7/7).

A new source had been acquired.

The effort was worth it; it was only the first day, and he had actually acquired another complete point of source.

As for the direction of adding points, Gao De had long since made a decision in his heart.

His "gaze" fell straight on 【Resistance Enhancement】.

Gao De was very lucky and had not yet encountered any ley line creatures possessing supernatural power.

But it was foreseeable that the subsequent "land reclamation" would continue for a period of time, so encountering ley line creatures with supernatural power was only a matter of time.

And his only reliance when facing supernatural power at the moment was 【Resistance Enhancement】! "Add points!" Gao De silently recited in his heart.

In Fengling Yueying, the "Big Dipper" representing the 【Gray-Spined Bee】 source flew out.

The target was the spell model of 【Resistance Enhancement】.

After an instant, accompanied by a series of intense changes, the spell model extended, fixed, and expanded.

And the yellow plus sign flashing after the 【Resistance Enhancement】 entry had already disappeared.

Its name had also changed to 【Resistance Enhancement+】.

【Resistance Enhancement+】 (Protection School, Rank 0): Inject mana into the target (the target can be oneself) to increase the target's magic resistance, thereby reducing the magic damage and magic influence suffered.

One spellcasting can last for one minute.

Extra: The magic resistance that the spellcasting target can obtain is slightly increased; if the spellcasting target is oneself, after reaching the one-minute duration, one can consume mana as needed to infinitely extend the spell's duration without needing to cast it again.

"Effect +1, duration +n." This was Gao De's simple translation of the effect of this point addition.

For a continuous defensive spell, this was the most substantial strengthening.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

"Rest is about enough, everyone continue to act," the leading magic user said sternly.

"Seize the time; we must finish clearing this area before dark, otherwise, when night falls, the danger coefficient will increase by another level."

The magic apprentices who were still resting and recovering mana did not hesitate at all and stood up immediately.

Even wild magic users with no field combat experience knew that ley line creatures at night were far more dangerous than those during the day.

The subsequent time was not as thrilling as the first two battles.

After all, with bloody lessons before their eyes, everyone had learned their lesson.

And their current location was very far from the "Hogan Ley Line," at the outermost periphery of the "Hogan Ley Line's" influence range.

The ley line creatures wandering here were mainly low-rank ley line creatures.

Truly powerful ley line creatures were entrenched in the "Hogan Ley Line" and "Hogan City."

Resolving these ley line creatures was the task of the high-circle magic users of Saint Xi En City, not something for small fry like them to worry about.

By the afternoon, their team had encountered a total of six battles.

Among them, five times, the leading magic user discovered the opponent first.

With the advantage of the first move and concerted cooperation, they basically took them down without injury.

It was a pity that none of them were gregarious ley line creatures, so Gao De could not gather a complete point of source.

Even with many people and many eyes, it was extremely difficult to "snatch a kill."

And the last battle, the ley line creature came from underground, a White-Footed Centipede close to Rank 1.

Because this White-Footed Centipede came from underground, the leading middle-aged magic user could not discover the opponent first; instead, their team was attacked by the opponent first.

However, this time it was not as thrilling as the first encounter with the flying monster attack.

Because when they were attacked by the flying ley line creature, not only were the magic apprentices not ready, but even the leading middle-aged magic user had not truly entered the state and had been negligent.

This time, the moment the White-Footed Centipede launched the attack, the leading magic user discovered the movement and made a response at the first opportunity.

The biting ice blade attack instantly dealt fatal damage to the White-Footed Centipede, not letting it cause more damage to the magic apprentices.

The sky gradually darkened.

The leading magic user took the team to search again, but still found nothing, and no new ley line creatures appeared.

Today's task could be considered initially completed.

Thus, he took the team, who had been exhausted after a day of tense spirits, back to the official road.

After everyone sat on the carriage, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once everyone was together, the carriage started moving again.

Tonight's camp was stationed six or seven kilometers ahead.

When night fell, Gao De and his party arrived at the camp that had already been set up.

It was an extremely large open space that had been temporarily cleared.

The logistics personnel had already prepared dinner, and the teams arriving one after another could eat directly.

With a bowl of hot meat soup in his stomach, paired with enough dry rations, Gao De felt comfortable all over.

Being able to drink a bowl of hot soup in the wild was indeed a happy thing.

At the same time, after arriving at the camp, Gao De also saw the two magic apprentices who had been injured and left the team at the beginning.

Under the treatment of the magic user who had mastered healing spells, although their injuries had not fully healed, they had stabilized and recovered their normal mobility.

It was thought that in a few days, they would be able to recover their combat capability.

Just after finishing dinner, when it was time for the second day's information registration and remuneration application, the one among the two who had been injured by the flying ley line creature immediately shook his head, indicating that he did not want to participate in the battle anymore and was preparing to go back tomorrow.

The other magic apprentice, whose eye had been injured by the Gray-Spined Bee, hesitated for a while, but ultimately felt that this time it was just bad luck and not being prepared.

If he encountered this situation again next time, he would definitely not be so unlucky, so he decided to stay and continue working.

As for Gao De, there was no doubt; he was definitely going to continue working! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
