Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 513 - 369: Gold Codex, the Taste of the Moon Elf

Fang Zhou looked at his Clone’s attribute panel, where the Tier column clearly read [Black Iron Upper].

"Bruce, well done."

Fang Zhou patted Bruce’s small head, and the Skeleton Bat let out a cheerful screech. He clenched his fists, unable to suppress a hoarse laugh.

The entire Corpse Hill, and even the entire Undead Realm, was his hunting ground. All Mutated Undead creatures and all Undead Attribute resources were either his slaves or a delicious meal. With such a resource-rich world to rely on, how could he fail to rise rapidly in this chaotic era of the Human-Demon Blood War?

Fang Zhou checked the magma area once more. Finding no other valuable gains, he looked up at the peculiar tree growing directly above the magma.

Perhaps after some time, this treasure tree will yield new resources. When that time comes, I’ll come back here to clean the place out. With Bruce’s soul memory, I can find the coordinates of this lava cave anytime.

Now that he had just broken through to Black Iron Upper, his desire to devour was incredibly high. He was eager to go on a hunting and devouring spree throughout Corpse Hill. Even his underlings, those mere Black Iron Middle Rank skeleton minions, were in urgent need of an upgrade.

It’s time to explore deeper into Corpse Hill.

Using the Skeleton Monarch’s Soul Link, Fang Zhou drove his dozens of skeleton minions deeper into the region. He himself, accompanied by the Skeleton Bat Bruce, charged ahead toward the gathering place of the Upper-tier Black Iron undead.

The hunt has begun!

「Several days later.」

Within the Undead Mage Research Project Group, Fang Zhou and Su Xinyan looked on with delight as Fang Zhou successfully summoned a Mutated Skeleton Bat. On the spacious experimental grounds, Fang Zhou commanded this Black Iron Lower Mutated Skeleton Bat to perform various maneuvers. The Skeleton Bat would dive straight down, ascend rapidly, or circle elegantly in the air. Every move was precise and flawless, as if an invisible bond connected it to Fang Zhou, allowing for seamless communication.

Besides controlling its movements, Fang Zhou also attempted to perceive its vision through the Mana link with the Skeleton Bat. After several trials, he finally mastered the skill of commanding it.

Over the past few days, Fang Zhou had been multitasking. His Undead Mage body, under Su Xinyan’s careful guidance, continuously adjusted and perfected his Summoning techniques. He strove to attract Undead Creatures with different soul fluctuations by altering the structure of his Mana. This was a meticulous process requiring constant experimentation and correction, with each failure serving as a valuable lesson on the path to success.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhou’s Corpse Clone was hunting and leveling up in the region where the Upper-tier Black Iron undead resided. At the same time, it continuously used the Skeleton Monarch’s Soul Link to analyze the soul fluctuation structure of the Mutated Skeleton Bat, Bruce.

It was with this two-pronged strategy that, after hundreds of attempts, Fang Zhou finally captured the same soul fluctuation frequency as Bruce. He then used it as a basis to summon another Mutated Skeleton Bat into his world. For the Undead Mages of Blue Star, this was the first time they had successfully summoned a brand-new undead creature like the Mutated Skeleton Bat to Blue Star to fight for them.

However, even though this newly summoned Skeleton Bat showed tremendous potential, it was still at the Black Iron Lower stage. It had not undergone an evolutionary process like Bruce, nor had it consumed high-level Undead Resources like the Magma Fire Fruit. Therefore, in terms of both its individual Four-dimensional Attributes and its combat power coefficient, it was far less powerful than Bruce.

Even so, as a flying reconnaissance unit, the Skeleton Bat’s performance had already exceeded expectations, and it could play an important role on the battlefield. But if they wanted to cultivate them into a true aerial combat force, Fang Zhou and his team would need to put in more effort.

After all, this was the first time Fang Zhou had summoned a Skeleton Bat to Blue Star, and the Mana consumption was much greater compared to that of ordinary Skeleton Warriors and Zombies. Moreover, due to the instability of the soul frequency fluctuations, the success rate of the Summoning also needed to be improved.

Nevertheless, Instructor Su Xinyan, who was anxiously observing Fang Zhou’s experiments from the sidelines, was already ecstatic. She opened her personal terminal, recorded the Skeleton Bat’s various data indicators, and then uploaded them to the Undead Creatures Atlas database.
