Chapter 13 Local Skeletons and the Foreign Voldemort
Chapter 13 Local Skeletons and the Foreign Voldemort
After 10 contribution points were deducted, Ark received a [Charge] skill book through his personal terminal.
"Learnable skill materials detected. You can consume 10 Soul Power to quickly learn the skill."
"Shall we begin learning?"
Fangzhou immediately replied, "Begin learning!"
With 10 points of Soul Power consumed, the Soulfire of the Ark Skeleton clone flickered wildly.
Even a skeleton can run freely under the blood moon.
With his entire skeleton working together, he successfully mastered the fastest way to run.
"Skill learned: Charge!"
【Charge】(Apprentice Level, Beginner): Move quickly in one direction, dealing collision damage to all enemies along the way. Distance, speed, and power are determined by agility attribute and skill proficiency.
This is exactly the kind of flexible movement skill that the skeleton clone needs most!
With the [Charge] skill, Ark, having undergone basic tactical training, immediately thought of several ways to use it.
For example, he can charge at the enemy with his skeletal spear and use the [Brutal Strike] skill just before hitting the enemy to deal massive damage.
For example, when facing a highly agile enemy, he can directly use his charge skill to evade their pursuit.
Instead of overthinking, Fangzhou lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and focused his attention on the skeleton clone.
......
Buried in the wasteland.
A rather robust skeleton, dragging a long skeletal spear, moved lightly into the depths.
In the current Ark, hunting newly hatched, weak skeletons is no longer an effective way to extract bone essence.
Actually, this is easy to understand.
This is the outermost edge of the Burial Grounds. The newborn skeletons that move around here are at the very bottom of the undead race, even among the most worthless undead race.
When the Ark was weak, every skeleton here was equal to, or even stronger than, its skeleton. Their bones were also stronger and more durable than the Ark's skeleton.
The essence absorbed from such skeletons can naturally strengthen the skeletal body of the Ark rapidly.
In the attribute panel, this is reflected as an increase in attribute values.
As Ark's four-dimensional attributes increased, his skeleton also became stronger and more robust than the skeletons of these skulls.
The essence absorbed from their skeletons was naturally insufficient to rapidly strengthen the Ark's skeleton.
In the attribute panel, this translates to a decrease in attribute value gains.
Starting from the edge of the Burial Grounds, the deeper one goes, the stronger the crimson moonlight becomes, and the thicker the aura of death grows.
Similarly, the more powerful the undead, the more likely they are to be born.
Soon, the ark came to a stop.
A skeleton much larger than the newborn skeleton appeared in his field of vision!
Skeletons' perception range depends on the strength of their soulfire, and the skeleton clones of the Ark are far more powerful in this respect than ordinary skeletons.
Therefore, the Ark was completely unaware of the skeleton's presence when it discovered it, still indulging in bathing in the blood-red moonlight.
Crouch, sneak, flank.
Fangzhou skillfully took on the role of the sixth brother.
After getting within ten meters of the skeleton, Ark straightened up and decisively activated the [Charge] skill.
Rifle raised, charge, thrust!
In an instant, the skeleton clone burst forth with incredible speed, its sharp spear tip aimed directly at the skeleton's fragile skull.
This skeleton's instinctive reaction speed was significantly faster than that of its newly formed counterparts on the periphery.
But the Ark charged too fast, and it only had time to turn its head before its skull was pierced by the skeletal spear.
It waved its claws futilely twice, trying to pull the spear stuck in its skull.
"He's still alive?" Fang Zhou was somewhat surprised.
The toughness of this skeleton's soulfire is far superior to that of the newly formed skeleton's soulfire, which shatters at the slightest touch.
He gripped the skeletal spear tightly, and with a forceful flick and twist, the skeleton's already lingering soul fire was finally extinguished completely.
Blue smoke rose, and piles of bones appeared.
Fangzhou rubbed his bone palms together with great anticipation and activated the [Skeleton Armament] skill.
A surge of heat, far more powerful than before, flowed into his body and lasted for a full ten seconds.
Strength +0.1, Soul Power +0.3.
Cool!
The Ark directly gained a 0.1 attribute increase and a 0.3 soul power gain from this skeleton.
Based on his deduction, the skeleton that had just turned to ashes should be about to be promoted to the intermediate level of apprentice, which is why it could provide him with such a high attribute bonus.
Compared to the previous snail-paced progress, this is now the normal monster-killing and leveling-up progress.
It is foreseeable that Ark's skeleton clones will soon enter a period of explosive power, and will probably be promoted to the upper apprentice level soon.
This also means that Ark's main body can receive more four-dimensional attributes and accumulate enough soul power more quickly so that he can deduce skeletal skills.
They had only just ventured deep into the desolate wasteland when they had already reaped such a harvest.
At this moment, the Burial Grounds had become a huge treasure trove in Fangzhou's eyes, waiting for him to dig it up and harvest it.
Click.
Click.
Soon, Ark spotted its second prey.
It was a pair of skeletons wrestling and biting each other.
His soul fire leaped up; what good luck!
Skeletons are a very low-level apprentice-level undead, lacking any self-awareness; killing and devouring are their only instincts.
Therefore, in the Burial Grounds, when two or more skeletons meet, it is bound to be a battle, and the most brutal battle ever. Usually, only one skeleton can survive and become the stronger one.
This single factor is enough to kill the vast majority of skeletons.
And Ark just happened to stumble upon a battle scene.
He didn't rush to intervene, but observed the fighting style of the native skeletons from the sidelines.
These two skeletons have sharper fangs and claws than the newborn skeletons, and their biting and pouncing power is naturally greater.
In the relentless battle, they were quickly both severely injured; one had its skull mostly shattered, and the other had all four limbs torn off. It seemed that a victor was about to be decided.
Seeing this, Fang Zhou decisively jumped out.
He drew his skeletal spear, adjusted the angle, and thrust it out.
"Brutal strike!"
laugh!
With a sharp whooshing sound, Fangzhou's shot shattered the two defenseless skeletons into pieces, a classic case of the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman reaped the benefits.
[Skeleton Armament] Activated!
Constitution +0.1. Spirit +0.1, Soul Power +0.4.
The immense feeling of comfort made Fangzhou's bones tremble involuntarily.
Immediately, his burning soul fire intensified.
kill!kill!kill!
Turn these weak skeletons into resources for your own evolution!
An hour passed.
