The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 23 Own work (for follow-up 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 held him back!"

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 had an enemy and were hunted down near Stormwind Valley, west of Warden's Heights.

Eli's father died halfway in order to delay time.

And Eli's mother climbed into the tiger's cave with him as a baby in order to avoid being chased by his enemies. "

……

"Unfortunately, his mother was wounded and was dying after crawling into the cave, and 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 make any sound—maybe she fainted from the pain, or maybe she was already dead.

In short, Eli, who has childhood memories, witnessed this process.

It's hard to imagine how he felt afterwards when he recalled this incident! "

……

"After eating Eli's mother, the tiger took Eli to the depths of the cave, where Eli found two tiger cubs whose eyes hadn't opened.

That's right.

The tigress had also just given birth, and she was very weak and in desperate need of energy.

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 still a very dangerous thing.

The tigress regained her strength and began to nurse her cubs.

Eli has one too.

I believe you can also guess the following story. Eli was raised by a tigress, and in the process was favored by the God of the Earth.

His first transformation in the wild was a tiger, and later he mastered the transformation technique of the 'Sabertooth Tiger' and the legendary creature "Ancient Tiger" through various adventures!
His combat power is so terrifying that it can't be measured by the normal third-order at all, so people gave him a "title" in advance that only a fourth-order shapeshifter deserves—that is, the ancient tiger! "

……

Matthew nodded after listening:
"A very rough life experience."

"Then did he go to avenge his parents later?"

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 said nothing.

His eyes stared straight ahead.

All the skeleton soldiers stopped in their tracks.

"Tick! Tick! Tick!"

The dripping sound of the cave on the left is disturbing.

And in that deadly silence.

The air in all directions suddenly became slightly restless!
"Matthew!"

Ella exclaimed belatedly:

"They're coming!"

However, she hadn't finished speaking yet.

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 voice was hoarse.

Like Matthew, she landed on a horizontal stone pillar above.

When looking down.

But I saw "Kangse Larva" the size of a mouse gushing out of the darkness one after another.

They crawl like silkworms, their bodies are stained with purple or green pus, and their speed is faster than ordinary people!
"Matthew—!"

Ella couldn't stop screaming:

"The scariest 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 done!"

The battle situation below became 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 parasites, what other abilities do they have?"

Ella was taken aback:
"Isn't that scary enough?"

Matthew looked at her with idiot eyes:
"It is indeed terrifying for living creatures, but my summoned creatures are all undead!"

"Can these bugs parasitize skeletons?"

As if to confirm Matthew's words.

Suddenly came the '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.

But 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 bursting 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 also touched its knee when it was done.

After wiping off the pus.

Its bones are fresh as new.

……

"Reminder: Your summons are immune to Kuangse Larva infection!
……

Your summoned object 'Skeleton No. 3' killed the Kuangse Larva*13, your XP+13 (Experience has been saved...)"

……

The fight was lively.

Matthew sat on the sidelines and watched.

Summoning younger brothers to fight, while eating melon seeds and hanging up by the side, 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 aspect of the Kuangse Larva is its pervasive infection ability.

In the face of this infection, high strength and toughness may not be enough to resist, and higher immunity may be needed!

This creature is the nightmare of all living things.

But it's different in front of undead creatures.

You can't parasitize a skeleton.

And without their greatest threat, the zebra larva is essentially no different from a larger rat.

No matter how slow the skeleton soldier's reaction was, facing the swarm of insects gathered together, he could 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 battle situation has been one-sided, and they are still pounced on the skeleton soldiers one after another.

So just 15 minute later.

There were hundreds of corpses of Kuangse larvae on the ground!
And Matthew's skeleton soldier was almost undamaged-"almost" because one of the skeleton soldiers twisted his ankle into an anti-joint when he cut the bug too much.

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 plan of the goddess? The undead creatures seem to have a natural restraint on the Zerg race 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 flew above with Ella, observing the command.

Smooth sailing all the way.

Except that on the third floor they encountered two Kuangser infections transformed from humans.

The skeleton soldiers wiped out 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, and 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 infected bodies transformed by humans, but more animals of all kinds.

The Kuangse infected body has the infection ability of larvae, powerful strength and good hand-to-hand skills. It is recognized as a tricky thing by other druids.

"Where is a skeleton missing?"

Facing Ella's questioning.

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 gaze.

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 grunted.

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 froze:
"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 hurry home and sleep now, and I have to get up early tomorrow!"

"Get up early? Why do you get up early?"

Ella didn't know why.

"Plant a tree!"

Matthew repaired with confidence.

"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 very hard overtime. He planted a total of 10 trees, which naturally corresponded to [-] strengthening opportunities.

He didn't hesitate, and threw it all on A Bing!
Ten rays of light flashed in succession, and Ah Bing's level went up 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)/Poison (Blue)/Farming Skills (White)/Cub Nurturing (White)"
