Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System-Chapter 97 - 81: Deserted Tomb Guard, Green Grass Granny (4,800 Words)
Didn’t expect to encounter it again.
Immediately started searching among the herd of deer.
Where is that Giant-Horned Deer King with 4 Stars Potential and a Level as high as 12?
The valiant figure had left a deep impression on him.
After a quick scan, he soon found the target’s trace.
At the back of the Giant Horned Deer herd, a robust stag towering above the rest was watching over them.
Its shoulder height had already surpassed three and a half meters!
It was like a giant statue.
The last time he encountered it, its shoulder height was only barely three meters.
Focusing, he noticed the Attribute Panel showed its Level had increased to Level 13!
It was Level 12 just half a month ago... This Deer King is still getting stronger!
The Swamp Giant-Horned Deer King also noticed Lear’s gaze at this moment; it cautiously glanced at the dense swarm of Mire Wasps in the sky after staring at him for a while.
With over fifty thousand in number, they formed a terrifying black tide.
No one would want to face a swarm of that scale.
Lear took a deep look at the other, decisively waved his hand, and led the army away.
No guarantee.
A Level 13 Hero, with a series of splendid Attributes, those fifty thousand Mire Wasps rushing in wouldn’t be enough to fill the gaps in the other’s teeth.
Especially considering the other’s Talent — capable of becoming ethereal, completely immune to physical damage, and able to reduce magic damage by 70%.
Isn’t that just like being invincible?
Compared to before, even a Mosquito Queen of the same Level paled in comparison.
He could only grow stronger and return later...
But he was confident deep inside.
Half a month ago, when he first discovered the Swamp Giant Horned Deer, he only had a couple of Wetland Lizardman Warriors and Vine Fairies, just a couple of stray cats and dogs.
Now, the force he commanded had increased more than tenfold.
In another one or two months, the situation of attack and defense would inevitably reverse.
Leaving that area, they picked up speed to hurry on their journey.
After about twenty minutes on the road, a loud shout from a Lizard-man suddenly reached them —
Enemy attack!
Lear’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly sped up to reach them.
Upon arrival, he found the Wetland Lizard-men who had been scouting ahead standing in the distance, pale and bloodless, staring fixedly at a particular spot.
Lear focused his gaze in the direction they were looking.
He saw a group of semi-transparent creatures holding curved scythes, emitting a ghostly blue light, floating in mid-air.
They emitted a kind of chilling death energy.
This was a unique group of undead life forms —
Ghosts!
These undead were floating over a circular tomb covered with weeds and a diameter of more than ten meters.
Their faces were turned in his direction.
Deserted Tomb Guard
[Level]: Level 9
[Potential]: 3 Stars
[Racial Talent]: Undying Ghost, born from desolate tombs, able to resurrect within the tomb after death.
[Skills]: Formless Body (2 Stars) Immune to 90% physical damage, capable of penetrating solid objects.
Soul Scythe (2 Stars) Scythe in hand capable of directly attacking enemies’ souls.
[Evaluation]: They were born to guard the tombs of some powerful beings.
Level 9 undead?!
Lear took a deep breath, taking a deep look at their Talent — Undying Ghost.
After death, still able to resurrect in the tomb.
This was the most abnormal Racial Talent he had encountered so far.
Moreover, there was no limit on the number of times they could die... which meant the opponent could resurrect endlessly!
As they approached, a dense multitude of phantoms floated from that circular tomb overgrown with weeds.
Looking ahead, the number exceeded three hundred.
Lear looked at the densely packed undead and felt a tingling on his scalp.
He waved his hand, ordering the army to retreat immediately.
The number exceeded three hundred, and their Levels were not low; they could also resurrect, and the deadliest part was — they were immune to 90% of physical damage.
What kind of fight could that be?
Even if these undead were eliminated, there remained that seemingly inconspicuous tomb below.
Heaven knows what might be buried inside.
Those Deserted Tomb Guards, holding scythes and permeated in blue, silently watched them retreat without taking any action.
It wasn’t until they almost vanished from sight that one by one, the guards floated into the tomb; in a blink, no phantoms could be seen above the tomb.
What was left was just a desolate tomb overgrown with weeds, waiting for the next unsuspecting outsider to approach...
Having left the area, the army continued to advance.
Half an hour later, they encountered another group of wild creatures... a group of Minotaurs with horns on their heads.
Sturdy bodies, standing as tall as two and a half meters.
Mooing loudly and causing chaos.
Moreover, their skin was particularly thick and coarse.
However, strong as the Minotaurs were, they did not have any trait to make them immune to physical damage.
Seeing this, Lear ordered a full-scale attack.
The army surged like a tidal wave.
Bubble Beasts threw Bubble Bombs to disarray their formation, Swamp Boggarts used their songs to confound the Minotaurs, Wetland Lizard-man Warriors charged head-on, and Mire Wasps whirred down from the sky like arrows.
The combined strangulation of all the forces left those Minotaurs reacting too late, as they were already overwhelmed.
Amid cries of agony, they fell one by one.
The thick cowhide couldn’t withstand the stings of the Mire Wasps or the sharp claws and Steel Sabers of the Wetland Lizard-men.
Looking at the bodies scattered everywhere, Lear felt his mood alleviated a little.
He waved a hand and let the Bubble Beasts gather the bodies.
Looking at the blood and flesh all over the ground, his thoughts went back to the Deserted Tomb Guards, and the appearance of those phantoms heightened his awareness.
In the future, it was crucial to find a way to control a powerful Mage Legion.
When physical damage didn’t affect the opponent, additional means were necessary.
Though Bubble Beasts were remarkable, their role was more functional.
Bubble Bomb was the only magic damage skill.
Compared to orthodox Mages, they still fell short.
