Qin Churan didn't have time to carefully consider the value of these buffs.
Right in front of her eyes, the Viper, still with eighty percent of its health bar remaining, attacked.
She quickly gripped her dagger, adopting a do-or-die attitude, and charged at the Viper.
"I'm going all out with you!"
Just as Qin Churan was ready to fight the Viper to the death, she unexpectedly discovered that her attack dealt at least double the damage compared to before!
Slash, slash, slash!
-7395!
-7724!
-7498!
...
A series of combo attacks left the Viper severely injured.
Facing the Viper's second attack, Qin Churan failed to dodge, and based on her previous injury, she thought she was doomed.
To her surprise, the Viper's attack didn't harm her at all; all the damage was absorbed by a silver shield enveloping her!
Moreover, the shield's value was regenerating at an astonishing rate every second!
In shock, Qin Churan regained her confidence.
With the powerful formation buff from Lu Ming, she easily crossed nine levels and killed the level 42 Viper without much effort!
Once she snapped back to reality, Qin Churan turned to Lu Ming with an incredulous look: "How is your formation buff so strong?"
"Is it a talent buff? But your account talent shouldn't be summoning-based, right?"
Qin Churan was puzzled.
She couldn't imagine that Lu Ming was different from normal players who only had one talent.
His account had three talents!
And each talent was at the highest strength: ten-star level!
Lu Ming didn't answer Qin Churan's question but instead changed the subject: "Killing these monsters is pointless. Our priority is to find a way to fight our way out."
Lu Ming intentionally summoned an Undead Warrior to guard near the cave entrance.
Through shared vision, he had already seen the Dragon Soul players stationed outside the cave entrance.

So, to get out, the only way was to fight their way out!
Qin Churan realized they were trapped in this cave by Dragon Soul.
Suddenly, a thought struck her: "Right! I'll call for reinforcements!"
"Do they think only Dragon Soul has level 50 players? Doesn't God Slayer have any?"
Lu Ming shook his head and said, "What you can think of, don't you think they can too?"
"Why are they just guarding the entrance and not coming in?"
"Because this map has limitations, messages can't be sent out."
Upon hearing this, Qin Churan tried and found she really couldn't send messages, unable to contact the outside world!
So, to get out, they could only rely on themselves!
Qin Churan furrowed her brows and said, "Unfortunately, even with your formation buff, I'm still no match for the Dragon Soul players."
Indeed.
With Lu Ming's formation enhancement, Qin Churan could handle level 40 monsters with no intelligence or tactics.
But facing the level 50 Dragon Soul players outside, who had advanced awareness and skills, she definitely couldn't win.
After all, Lu Ming himself was only level 19.
His formation could allow a level 30 teammate to kill a level 40 enemy, which was already his limit at this stage.
To raise this limit, he had to break through to level 20!
Lu Ming had a bold idea in mind.
Once he reached level 20, he could equip the Bronze Soul Set and upgrade all three talents to Lv3!
For Lu Ming, it would be a qualitative leap!
By then, with the Undead Legion, he could directly counterattack out of this Viper Cave!
So now, the question arose.
"How can I quickly break through to level 20?"
Looking at his level 19 with 63% experience, Lu Ming was troubled.
Mainly because he was trapped in this cave, the only way for Lu Ming to gain experience was from these level 42 Vipers around him.
"With my own strength, I can't kill level 42 monsters."
Lu Ming glanced at Qin Churan and murmured, "The level gap between us exceeds 10 levels. According to the Sky Abyss world's settings, even if she weakens the Viper and leaves the final blow for me, I still can't gain even 1 point of experience..."
Qin Churan turned back with a curious look at Lu Ming: "What are you mumbling about?"
Lu Ming pondered deeply, and suddenly, something flashed in his mind!
He opened his backpack and focused on the two Silver BOSS-level summoning scrolls inside!
"How much experience does a level 30 Silver BOSS give?" Lu Ming suddenly asked.
Though Qin Churan didn't know what Lu Ming intended, she answered seriously: "I just happened to kill a level 33 Silver BOSS yesterday. Let me check the battle record... 500,000 experience."
"Based on that, a level 30 Silver BOSS should give around 400,000 to 450,000 experience."
Lu Ming opened the status panel and found that from level 19 to 20 required a total of 2,000,000 experience points, and he currently had 1,260,000!
He needed 740,000 more experience to level up.
If what Qin Churan said was true, then the experience from these two Silver BOSSes would be just enough for Lu Ming to reach level 20!
Originally, he was worried about lacking strength and planned to reach level 20 before safely taking on these two BOSSes.
But now, Lu Ming had no other choice.
Without hesitation, he crushed one of the scrolls.
As the scroll disappeared from his hand.
The next second.
Whoosh!
On a patch of empty ground in front of him, a blood-red barrier materialized, and then a massive level 30 Silver Savage Saber-toothed Tiger King BOSS appeared within the barrier!
Seeing this, Qin Churan was puzzled: "What... are you trying to do?"
Lu Ming looked at Qin Churan with determination and said, "I need you to do something for me."
"Help me intercept those Vipers, don't let them interfere with me, okay?"
Seeing the hopeful look in Lu Ming's eyes, Qin Churan suddenly felt a surge of strength throughout her body.
She stared blankly into Lu Ming's eyes.
"Alright!"
"No problem, leave it to me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Churan gripped her dagger, her figure like a phantom, darting towards the nearby Vipers.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
Using the Art of Clones, she released several clones to attract all the Vipers that could threaten Lu Ming, using her nimble movements and extreme positioning to hold them off.
Qin Churan's strength was indeed impressive.
Seeing Qin Churan holding off the Vipers, Lu Ming focused entirely on the level 30 Silver BOSS [Savage Saber-toothed Tiger King] in front of him.
[Ding~ Please note: The Savage Saber-toothed Tiger King will disappear in ten minutes. Please kill the BOSS within the time limit!]
With the system prompt, Lu Ming cast a Reconnaissance on the BOSS.
[Savage Saber-toothed Tiger King] (Lv30 Silver BOSS·Physical Type)
[Physical Attack: 3500]
[Armor: 2800]
[Magic Resistance: 2460]
[Speed: 1760]
[Health Points: 288,000]
[Skills: Berserk Roar (D-level), Deadly Charge (E-level), Deadly Tear (E-level)...]
[Description: As the leader of the Saber-toothed Tiger clan, the Tiger King possesses a powerful bite force capable of easily tearing your body apart. If you don't have enough strength, don't attempt to solo the Tiger King...]
No wonder it's a Silver BOSS!
These attributes are indeed extraordinarily strong!
Even a group of players over level 30 would struggle to contend with the Saber-toothed Tiger King!
But today.
At this moment.
In front of the 19-level Trickster Lu Ming.
"You must die!"
As he spoke, Lu Ming summoned the Undead Legion while reaching behind him.
