Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 82 Reaching the Top of the Points Ranking, Abundant Loot

Chapter 82 Reaching the Top of the Points Ranking, Abundant Loot

Hunting points +45.

"Soul Power +1".

After this battle, Fangzhou's hunting points have surpassed Meng Hongzhuang's, successfully taking the top spot.

Furthermore, his score is more than 20 points higher than Meng Hongzhuang's, a gap that is very difficult to close.

Judging from the increase in hunting points, Ark killed at least 150 ferocious crows in this wave, which was worth the 50% of his mental energy consumption.

He rested against a large tree for a while, then directed the remaining 20 skeletons to dissect the ferocious crow carcasses scattered on the ground.

Although these troublesome monsters are difficult to deal with, the rewards for killing them are quite generous.

Their necks contain venom sacs that store toxins, which can be used to poison weapons or to produce poisons.

The military academy offered a buyback price of 1 contribution point for every 10 poison sacs.

While waiting for the skeletons to clean up the battlefield, Fangzhou opened his personal terminal to record the gains and reflections of this battle.

His current combat style is relatively simple: he summons a large number of skeletons to act as meat shields on the front line, while he hides under the protection of the skeletons and releases skills to deal damage.

When faced with flying monsters like the Ferocious Raven, the apprentice-level skeleton cannot condense skeletal armor and can only use its pair of bone claws to deal with them, so its killing efficiency is naturally very low.

If these summoned apprentice-level skeletons could also condense skeletal weapons in advance, just like the skeleton clones, their combat power could undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

For example, in this battle, if there had been a dozen or so large shield-bearing skeletons in front, and another dozen or so skeleton archers as ranged attackers, the situation wouldn't have been as precarious as it was before.

Although Fang Zhou possesses the [Bone Wings] skill, which has been improved to its limit, and is confident that he can escape the siege of the ferocious crows, as a necromancer with a very fragile physique and only slightly stronger than [Earth Knight] Zhao Yuan, it is best to avoid such dangerous things as using himself as bait.

Fangzhou carefully noted down his thoughts in the memo, planning to ruthlessly exploit his two secretaries, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang, after the underground hunt was over.

We must develop a useful skill for him!

In a row of classrooms.

Seeing Ark calmly detonate the [Bone Shield] and kill the Ferocious Raven Leader in one fell swoop, the chubby-faced fangirl excitedly stood up: "We won! As expected of Ark!"

One student testified, "Why did the ferocious raven leader fall down immediately after the [Bone Shield] was broken, as if it had been controlled?"

One quick-thinking student immediately opened his personal terminal, logged into the Human Union skill library, and searched for the [Bone Shield] skill.

Soon, he suddenly realized, "Ark actually improved this skill a few days ago!"

The current [Bone Shield], when broken, will paralyze nearby enemies, reflect physical damage, and has a chance to reflect magical skills.

That's absolutely inhuman!

Upon hearing this, the entire classroom erupted in uproar.

Even the instructor, who never showed his emotions, couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

The Bone Shield already has pretty good defense, and now with so many special effects added, it's probably among the top-tier shield skills for all apprentice-level users.

In just two months, a newly developed skill has been perfected to this extent.

Everyone knows that Fang Zhou is a genius necromancer, but no one could have imagined that he would be this genius!

One student, watching Ark's live stream, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "What's most terrifying is that Ark is not only good at research, but also at combat."

"If it were me, even with the [Bone Shield] skill, I wouldn't think of using myself as bait to lure the Ferocious Raven Leader in such an intense battle."

"Yes, he is much stronger than me in both courage and fighting spirit."

Watching the battles in Ark gets my blood pumping!

"I wish I could be as adept at tactics as him someday."

While the students were full of admiration and praise for Fang Zhou, the student who had previously made sarcastic remarks was now blushing and quietly hiding in a corner.

A dozen minutes later, the 20 skeletons deftly dissected the corpses on the ground, collecting a total of 120 poison sacs, worth 12 contribution points.

Some of the ferocious crows had their poison sacs destroyed during their battles with the skeletons, so they couldn't collect any.

Fortunately, these venom sacs are only about the size of an adult's little fingernail, so even if there are many of them, they won't take up too much space.

Fangzhou carefully stored them in a sealed bag; by this time, his backpack was already full of spoils.

Looking at the ravaged jungle and the skeletons covered in blood and venom, he frowned in disgust.

The smell emanating from these skeletons was truly indescribable and detracted from the military appearance.

Previously, Instructor Su Xinyan had advised him that when he reached the Black Iron level and could learn Black Iron-level skills, he should definitely learn a general Black Iron-level skill for mages called "Friend of Life".

The "Friends of Daily Life" skill includes many small tricks that can be used in daily life, such as air blowing, washing, dust removal, water making, and lighting.

These minor magic tricks cannot be used in combat, but they consume very little mental energy and can greatly facilitate the lives of magic practitioners.

This refined and practical skill is far more elegant than those warriors who shout "Heaven is on the left, warrior on the right" all the time.

It's no wonder that legal professionals call themselves "law masters" and have always looked down on the unsophisticated soldiers.

I checked the time; it was already 5 p.m.

There are less than 3 hours left before the magic moss goes dormant and the crypt falls into darkness.

Fang Zhou hesitated for a moment.

He hadn't expected this encounter with the ferocious flock of crows.

Although the result was perfect and the gains were substantial, his mental energy was greatly depleted, and now he only has less than 30% left.

Should we proceed with the original plan to raid the Goblin Cave?

As he hesitated, a mournful, whistling sound suddenly came from the previously silent jungle.

Fangzhou looked up and saw the strange trees in the jungle rustling. It turned out that another strong wind had risen in the cave.

He shook his head slightly. In less than a day, first came the thick fog, then the heavy rain, and now the strong winds were blowing.

The climate in the cave is truly harsh.

Taking out a bottle of mental energy recovery potion, Fang Zhou made up his mind.

A strong wind has already picked up, so finding a safe place to spend the night in the cave is probably not realistic. It would be better to scout out the goblin cave first.

If there are no monsters inside, or if the monsters are relatively weak, then we might as well take over the cave and spend the night there.

If the monsters inside are too powerful, exceeding his current ability to handle them, then he will have to make other plans.

Without further hesitation, Fang Zhou tilted his head back and drank the potion, then sat cross-legged and used the [Perfect] level [Calm and Composed] skill.
