Mental intent guided spiritual power, which converged and moved along specific spell trajectories.
As if practiced countless times, the spiritual power flowed within the spell trajectories, gradually transforming into a brand-new force.
At first, it was a light.
In front of Chen Luo's palm, a spark of starlight ignited.
Immediately after, under the influence of immense spiritual power, the starlight rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a giant fireball half the size of a person!
Light and heat radiated outwards. Hu Tao behind him couldn't help but press closer to Chen Luo's back. Only for Chen Luo, the caster of the spell, was the power of the fireball spell not radiating outwards.
The spiritual power transformed into a peculiar magical energy. The flames were merely its manifested appearance; Chen Luo could completely control the giant fireball before him.
Beside the entrance to the exhibition, a crowd of onlookers, having seen Chen Luo sit cross-legged for over ten minutes, suddenly unleashed such a massive thing, involuntarily exclaiming "Holy shit!"
Their current skills all looked like cheap special effects, but in your hands, it was like it had taken Viagra, incredibly powerful!
A satisfied smile appeared on Chen Luo's lips. He lightly waved his index finger.
The giant fireball instantly flew towards the wolf pack in the distance. The firelight illuminated the darkness. Fierce night wolves, one by one, bared their teeth and stared menacingly at the people within the safe zone.
At this moment, the fireball's flight speed had surpassed that of a person running. The instant the firelight illuminated the wolf pack, the fireball had already hit a lone night wolf steadily!
Boom!
An explosion erupted from where the fireball struck. The target night wolf didn't even last a second before turning into ashes in the flames!
[Your attack dealt 660 damage to the Night Wolf. You have one-shot the Night Wolf.]
[You have killed a higher-level Night Wolf and gained 200 experience points.]
[Your level has been raised to 2. You have gained 5 free attribute points.]
Chen Luo looked with satisfaction at the night wolf reduced to ashes by his single blow. This was the power of skills. He was still level 1 just now, yet he could one-shot a level 5 night wolf.
If he could possess more skills and raise them all to extremely high levels, he would become the boss of bosses.
Even that giant dragon in the sky, he wasn't without a chance to bring it down!
Suppressing his inner excitement and anticipation, Chen Luo chose to add the newly acquired attribute points to Constitution.
[Constitution: 6 → 11]
A surge of heat flowed through his body, as if his body had become even stronger.
The slight heaviness he had felt in his mind moments before had completely dissipated.
Moreover, Chen Luo had a feeling that he was now capable of "plowing" an ordinary person like a robust ox.
Shaking his head, he cast aside the fantasies in his mind and looked at his experience bar, frowning.
[Level]: 2 (100/400)
"It took 200 experience to go from level 1 to 2, and now it takes 400 experience to reach level 3?"
"Won't the experience points keep doubling like this? If that's the case, leveling up later will be too difficult."
Suddenly, a continuous series of gasps came from behind him.
Chen Luo turned his head and saw a crowd of men and women of all ages, dressed in strange costumes, inside the exhibition hall, looking at him as if he were a god. The words "Awesome" were written on everyone's faces.
And the beautiful boy (?) Hu Tao behind him seemed to have been scared stiff, staring blankly at him, biting his finger, and repeatedly uttering strange sounds like "aba aba."
Seeing everyone's astonishment, a good feeling brewed in Chen Luo's heart. Perhaps this was the joy of showing off.
Chen Luo suppressed a smile and turned his head, looking again at the wolf pack obscured by darkness. The malice in those scarlet eyes had not diminished in the slightest.
But Chen Luo felt no fear; instead, he was eager to try.
Under the falling snow, on a summer night that had grown somewhat chilly, Chen Luo suddenly raised his right hand and said solemnly:
"On this first night of the apocalypse, let me treat everyone to a fireworks display!"
...
By the door, the little胖子 (fatty) watched Chen Luo, who was showing off in the snow, with envy:
"Damn, I know he's showing off, but I still think he's so awesome, what should I do?!"
The scarred man beside him snorted:
"If I could kill a night wolf with one slash and unleash a fireball that big with a wave of my hand, I'd show off even more than him!"
"This guy is truly awesome!"
Everyone around nodded in agreement, thinking that while he was awesome, suddenly calling a stranger "boss" was a bit too much.
However, the Shen He cosplayer raised her eyebrows in surprise: "You all haven't noticed? Whether we can survive from now on depends on him."
Hearing this, everyone looked at the beautiful young lady with some confusion. They were in the safe zone and weren't in any danger, so what did she mean by survival?
But before the Shen He cosplayer could explain, more violent explosions came from outside the door!
——————
Chen Luo, with his back to the crowd, enduring the falling snow, spoke boastful words, but his heart was heavy.
Before he killed the night wolf for the second time, Chen Luo had discovered something.
The safe zone was shrinking!
When he first came out, the illuminated area was about ten meters.
Given his extremely high Spirit attribute, Chen Luo's memory was as clear as a photograph. He could clearly recall a few young ladies in black stockings at the exhibition.
Therefore, Chen Luo was now certain that in just about thirty minutes, the illuminated area had shrunk by about 0.5 meters.
And the lighting range of the entire safe zone was continuously shrinking.
Monsters couldn't enter the safe zone, but what if the safe zone disappeared?
Then, these gathered people, who felt safe, were merely concentrated granaries!
...
Chen Luo's showing off wasn't a whim. Although impressing everyone was indeed satisfying.
But what Chen Luo truly wanted was the right to speak next!
It was difficult for one person to survive in the apocalypse. Although Chen Luo's attack power was terrifying, his current HP was only 110.
If he were surrounded by a few night wolves, even if Chen Luo could kill some of them, he would eventually be bitten to death by the pack.
Therefore, Chen Luo needed a group. Only by uniting more people would their chances of survival increase.
And what Chen Luo needed to do now was deterrence!
To deter the frenzied wolf pack with absolutely terrifying firepower, and also to deter the citizens behind him who hadn't yet adjusted their mindset!
A six-pointed snowflake drifted before Chen Luo's eyes. As if signaling, a brand-new fireball condensed in front of Chen Luo's eyes!
"So! Burn to your heart's content!"
He fiercely swung his right hand down! The fireball shot straight forward!
Boom! Another night wolf turned into ashes in the flames!
[Killed Night Wolf x1, gained 200 experience points.]
"It's not over yet! Burn even more brilliantly!"
The instant the fireball exploded, before the firelight had even dissipated, a new fireball had already formed in Chen Luo's hand and shot out!
Another explosion sounded! Fireball after fireball was continuously fired, and with each explosion, a night wolf was incinerated.
In a short span of time, Chen Luo had fired ten fireballs!
[Gained 2000 experience, Level Up! Level Up! Gained 10 free attribute points.]
[Level]: 5 (700/1600)
[Mana]: 400/550
A piece of bad news was that the experience required for leveling up was indeed doubling.
But there was also good news: the night wolves surrounding them in the darkness were far more numerous than expected!
And even though he had reached level five, the experience gained from killing night wolves was still 200. In this apocalyptic game, the experience points from these monsters seemed to be fixed.
The consecutive deaths of ten night wolves in a short period seemed to have triggered some mechanism within the wolf pack.
A low wolf howl echoed from the depths of the wolf pack. A layer of night-colored light covered every night wolf.
Chen Luo observed this change but paid it no mind, casually swinging out another giant fireball.
Boom!
[Your attack dealt 760 damage to the Night Wolf. You have one-shot the Night Wolf.]
[Killed Night Wolf, gained 200 experience points, gained new information about the Night Wolf.]
[Night Wolf] (Wolf Pack State)
HP: 700 (500)
Magic Defense: 65 (15)
Talent:
1. Wolf Pack: Under the cover of night, wolves that hunt in packs. When the Wolf King commands coordinated group actions, all Night Wolves in the pack temporarily gain 200 HP and 50 Magic Defense.
....
Chen Luo looked at the safe zone, which had shrunk further, and the newly displayed information, his brow furrowing slightly.
These wolf packs were truly killers of newcomers.
But Chen Luo's hands did not stop. Fireballs continued to bombard the wolf pack, relentlessly reducing their numbers.
In just a few minutes, Chen Luo fired another 26 giant fireballs, killing 26 night wolves in their wolf pack state.
[Gained 5200 experience points! Level Up! Level Up! Gained 10 free attribute points.]
[Level]: 7 (1100/6400)
[Mana]: 18/550
Including the mana Chen Luo had naturally recovered in these few minutes, he had enough mana left for one more fireball.
And after dozens of night wolves were killed in a short period, the wolf pack in the darkness didn't seem to have decreased much.
Chen Luo, with his mana almost depleted, seemed to be in a desperate situation?
The Wolf King in the darkness seemed to sense Chen Luo's condition. A howl filled with malice echoed from the darkness.
The speed at which the safe zone was shrinking seemed to be accelerating!
But at this moment, Chen Luo, with his mana nearly exhausted, showed no panic. Hearing the malicious howl, he chuckled lightly:
"Don't rush! The fireworks have just begun!"
The next moment, in Chen Luo's mind, with his mana almost depleted, a complex meditation diagram with eight hundred and eighty-eight sides was suddenly outlined!
