Chapter 23 Own work (seeking further reading)
…
"The male druid who was hostile to me just now, isn't he a member of the Moonlight Society?"
In a tunnel full of stagnant water.
Matthew asked, lifting his trousers.
"Of course, he is a member of the Earth Association. I haven't seen him before. I guess Samantha asked him to come and help."
Ella said happily:
"Fortunately Samantha caught him!"
Matthew smiled:
"indeed so."
Ella obviously didn't understand what Matthew said.
She chirped about the story of "Eli the Ancient Tiger".
…
"Eli is an orphan. A long time ago, his parents got into trouble with enemies and were hunted down near Stormwind Valley, west of Warden's Heights.
Eli's father died halfway in order to delay the time.
And Eli's mother crawled into the tiger's cave with him as a baby in order to avoid the pursuit of his enemies. "
…
"Unfortunately, his mother was wounded and was dying after climbing into the cave. When she was dying, she saw a aggressive but exhausted tiger.
Eli's mother said to the tiger: 'Eating me is enough to make you hungry, please let my child go! '
So the tiger silently ate her.
the whole process.
She didn't even make a sound—maybe she passed out from the pain, or maybe she was already dead.
In short, Eli, who has childhood memories, witnessed this process.
It is really hard to imagine how he felt when he recalled this matter later! "
…
"After eating Eli's mother, the tiger took Eli in its mouth and went to the depths of the cave, where Eli found two tiger cubs whose eyes hadn't opened.
That's right.
The tigress has just given birth, she is very weak and needs to replenish her energy urgently.
If it wasn't for Eli's mother, she might have to go out of the cave to look for food. Even if Stormwind Valley is the territory of tigers, this is a very dangerous thing.
The tigress regained her strength and began to nurse her cubs.
Eli has a copy too.
I believe you can guess the following story, Eli was raised by a tigress, and in the process was favored by the God of the Earth.
His first wilderness transformation was a tiger, and later through various adventures, he mastered the transformation technique of the "Sabertooth Tiger" and the legendary creature "Ancient Tiger"!
His combat power is so terrifying that it cannot be measured by the normal third-order at all, so people added to him in advance the "title" that a fourth-order shapeshifter deserves—that is, the ancient tiger! "
…
Matthew nodded after listening:
"A very rough life experience."
"Then did he help his parents get revenge?"
Ella thought about it, and said uncertainly:
"I don't know, there should be."
"In short, he is very powerful. If you encounter him underground in the future, it is best to go around."
Matthew didn't say anything.
His eyes stared straight ahead.
All the skeleton soldiers stopped.
"Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick tock!"
The sound of dripping water from the cave on the left is disturbing.
And in that deadly still atmosphere.
The air in all directions suddenly became slightly restless!
"Matthew!"
Ella exclaimed belatedly:
"They're coming!"
However, she has not finished speaking.
Matthew's robe instantly puffed up and gathered.
Next second.
He turned into a raven and flew away!
"Hey, Matthew, wait for me!"
Ella's anxious voice became hoarse.
She landed on a horizontal stone pillar above like Matthew did.
When looking down again.
But I saw "Kangse Larva" the size of a mouse gushing out of the darkness one after another.
They crawled like silkworms, with purple or green pus on their bodies, and their speed was faster than ordinary people!
"Matthew—!"
Ella couldn't stop screaming:
"The most terrifying thing about Kuangse larvae is the infection and parasitism. Just give them a little wound, and they can parasitize on any living thing!"
"We're screwed!"
The battle situation below is getting more and more chaotic.
There are more than a dozen larvae staring at each skeleton soldier!
Just when Ella was in a hurry.
Matthew finally spoke:
"Besides infecting parasitism, what other abilities do they have?"
Ella was taken aback for a moment:
"Isn't that scary enough?"
Matthew looked at her with idiot eyes:
"It is indeed terrifying to living creatures, but my summoned creatures are all undead!"
"Can these bugs parasitize skeletons?"
It seems to be to confirm Matthew's words.
Suddenly there was a ‘poof! ’ sound.
The two looked down.
A fist-sized larva crawled onto the knee of a skeleton soldier.
Its body shriveled rapidly.
at the same time.
A large amount of pus emerged from the larvae's body, tightly covering the bones.
"Chirp..."
There was a rattling sound, and more larvae gathered.
They rushed to the place where the pus flowed.
Then the next second.
A sharp sword fell from the sky.
Whoosh!
The blade of the sword cut through the shells of the larvae like cutting tofu, and the pus exploded like juice!
Skeletons require little skill.
He just slid his sword back and forth towards the place where the larvae gathered, and a large number of larvae died!
It even touched his knee when it was done.
After wiping off the pus.
Its bones are bright as new.
…
「Reminder: Your summons are immune to the infection of the Kuangser Larva!
…
Your summoned object ‘Skull No. 3’ killed the larvae*13, your XP+13 (experience has been saved...)”
…
The fight was lively.
Matthew sits on the sidelines.
Summoning younger brothers to fight, while eating melon seeds next to me and hanging up, this is the greatest joy of a necromancer!
What's more, since the first skeleton soldier raised his dagger, the outcome of this encounter has already been drawn up—
As Ella said, the most frightening thing about Kuangse Larva is its pervasive infection ability.
In the face of this infection, high strength may not be enough to resist, and a higher immunity may be needed!
This creature is the nightmare of all living things.
But it's different in front of the undead creatures.
You can't parasitize a skeleton.
And without their greatest threat, the quail larvae are essentially no different from larger rats.
No matter how slow the reaction of the skeleton soldier is, facing the swarm of insects gathered together, he can still take away several of them with one sword.
What's more interesting is that the Kuangse Larva lacks intelligence. They seem to have no way of judging the situation on the field and can only act on instinct.
Obviously the situation of the battle has been one-sided, and they are still pounced on the skeleton soldiers one after another.
So just fifteen minutes later.
There were hundreds of dead larvae on the ground!
And Matthew's skeleton soldier is almost undamaged-I say "almost" because one of the skeleton soldiers twisted his ankle into an anti-joint when he moved too much when chopping insects.
But it's a skeleton.
So Matthew just twisted him back afterwards.
And after this battle.
Matthew found that the soul fires of most of the skeleton soldiers had solidified a bit!
Undead creatures can also improve their strength through fighting and killing, but the progress is not obvious.
Matthew is busy planting trees every day, and the skeleton soldiers are naturally sitting in limbo every day.
Now he finally had a chance to show his skills, and the result made Matthew quite satisfied.
…
"So this is the goddess' calculation? The undead creatures seem to have a natural restraint on the Kuangser Zerg that caused this place to wither and dilapidate!"
Matthew thought so.
He didn't stay here for too long, after a short rest, he ordered Ah Bing to continue to lead the team further.
And Matthew himself was flying above with Ella, observing the command.
It was smooth sailing along the way.
Except that on the third floor they encountered two Kuangser infected bodies transformed from humans.
The skeleton soldiers destroyed all the enemies without injury, and emptied all the insect nests along the way!
Although there were no big loot, the occasional drop of dozens of gold coins and the XP that allowed the skeleton soldiers to upgrade quickly made Matthew feel that the trip was worthwhile.
As for the two Kuangse infected bodies.
One of them was attacked by A Bing when they first met. The latter cut half of his body with a short knife, instantly making him lose his fighting power.
The other one was fighting fiercely with a skeleton soldier. The two sides fought fiercely. The strength of Kuangse's infected body was astonishing. By the time Ah Bing and other skeleton soldiers rushed over, the skeleton had been torn apart eight.
This is also the first battle damage Matthew encountered while exploring this cave.
…
"What should we do? Matthew, you are missing a skeleton, should we move on?"
Ella asked nervously.
Their current position is close to the entrance of the fourth floor.
According to Ella.
Starting from the fourth floor, this kind of crazy infected body will become common—of course, not all of them are infected bodies transformed by humans, but more animals of all kinds.
The Kuangse Infested Body has the ability to infect larvae, as well as powerful strength and good hand-to-hand combat skills. It is recognized as a tricky thing by other druids.
"Where is a skeleton missing?"
Facing Ella's inquiry.
Matthew laughed softly, then he took out the withered wood staff, and chanted in a low voice to one of the Kuangse-infected bodies.
quickly.
Under Ella's surprised eyes.
A stumbling skeleton soldier stood up from the pool of red and green blood.
"So as long as there are corpses, you can keep summoning skeletons, right?"
Ella stared.
"Probably." Matthew added in his heart: The key still depends on the upper limit of summoned objects.
"Well, let's use evil to defeat evil..."
Ella muttered.
Matthew watched her silently.
She hurriedly said:
"Then let's go to the next floor!"
Matthew shook his head:
"No, today's task ends here."
Ella stayed for a while:
"Why? Did I offend you with what I just said? Well, I'm sorry Matthew, I apologize to you. Now I can finally understand the wisdom of the goddess. Necromancers are indeed more suitable for exterminating bugs than druids!"
Matthew yawned:
"No, it has nothing to do with those. There are only four hours left before dawn. I have to rush home and sleep now, and I have to get up early tomorrow!"
"Wake up early? Why do you get up early?"
Ella doesn't know why.
"Plant trees!"
Ma Xiu is upright.
"You don't know that's my job, do you?!"
…
Dusk the next day.
Matthew simply turned the eager Ella away.
He sat down on the edge of the bed.
A Bing's figure slowly emerged from the corner of the room.
Matthew checked the progress of the tree planting task.
In the past week, he worked a lot of overtime. He planted a total of 104 trees, which naturally corresponded to 10 strengthening opportunities.
He didn't hesitate, and threw it all on Ah Bing!
Ten rays of light flashed in succession, and Ah Bing's level rose three levels in a row, reaching LV9!
There are also seven new keywords.
Four of them are blue sky and white clouds.
…
「Your summoned Bing got the keywords: Shadow Attack (blue)/Poisoning (blue)/Farming Skills (White)/Cub Nurturing (White)」
