The necromancer just wants to plant trees

Chapter 23: Homework (seeking further reading)

…

"The male druid who was hostile to me just now is not from the Moonlight Society, right?"

In a tunnel full of water.

Matthew asked, holding up his trousers.

"Of course, he is from the Earth Society. I have never seen him before. I guess Samantha asked him to come here to help."

Ella said happily:

"Luckily Samantha caught him!"

Matthew smiled:

"indeed so."

Ella obviously didn't hear what Matthew meant.

She chattered about the story of "The Ancient Tiger Eli".

…

"Eli is an orphan. A long time ago, his parents made enemies and were hunted to the west of the Watcher's Highlands near Storm Valley.

Eli's father died on the way to delay the journey.

Eli's mother hugged the infant and crawled into the tiger's cave to avoid being chased by her enemies. "

…

"Unfortunately, his mother was injured and was dying after crawling into the cave. When she was dying, she saw a menacing but exhausted tiger.

Eli's mother said to the tiger: 'Eating me will satisfy your hunger, 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 really hard to imagine how he felt when he recalled this incident later! "

…

“After eating Eli’s mother, the tiger took Eli to the depths of the cave, where Eli found two tiger cubs with their eyes closed.

That's right.

The tigress had just finished giving birth. She was very weak and urgently needed to replenish energy.

If it weren't for Eli's mother, she would probably have to go out of the cave to look for food. Even if Storm Valley is the tiger's territory, this is still a very dangerous thing.

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

Eli had one too.

I believe you can guess the rest of the story. Eli was raised by a tigress and received the blessing of the God of the Earth in the process.

His first wilderness transformation was into a tiger, and later he mastered the transformation techniques of the 'saber-toothed tiger' and the legendary creature 'ancient tiger' through various adventures!

His fighting power is so terrifying that it cannot be measured by the normal third level, so people gave him the 'honorable title' that only a fourth level 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 for a while and said uncertainly:

"I don't know, there should be."

"Anyway, he is very powerful. If you encounter him underground in the future, you'd better go around."

Matthew said nothing.

His eyes stared straight ahead.

All the skeleton soldiers stopped.

"Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick tock!"

The sound of dripping water in the cave to the left is disturbing.

And in that dead silence atmosphere.

The air in all directions suddenly became slightly restless!

"Matthew!"

Ella exclaimed belatedly:

"They're coming!"

But before she could finish her words.

Matthew's robe instantly puffed up and gathered.

The next second.

He turned into a raven and flew away!

"Hey, Matthew, wait for me!"

Ella's voice became hoarse with anxiety.

She followed Matthew's example and landed on a horizontal stone pillar above.

When looking further down.

But one after another, rat-sized "Crazy Seer Larvae" emerged from the darkness.

They crawl like silkworms, covered in purple or green pus, and their speed is a little faster than ordinary people!

"Matthew—!"

Ella couldn't stop screaming:

"The most terrifying thing about Kuangse larvae is the infection and parasitism. As long as you give them a little wound, they can parasitize on any living creature!"

"We're screwed!"

The battle below became increasingly chaotic.

There are more than a dozen larvae on each side of each skeleton soldier, watching eagerly!

Just when Ella was worried.

Matthew finally spoke:

"Apart from infection and parasitism, what else can they do?"

Ella was stunned:

"Isn't this scary enough?"

Matthew looked at her like she was an idiot:

"It is indeed scary for living creatures, but my summons are all undead!"

"Can these bugs parasitize skeletons?"

As if to confirm Matthew's words.

Suddenly there was a sound from below, ‘Poof! ’ sound.

The two looked down.

A larva as big as a fist crawled onto the knee of a skeleton soldier.

Its body shriveled up rapidly.

at the same time.

A large amount of pus emerged from the larvae's body and tightly covered the bones.

"Chirp chirp..."

A sound similar to the chirping of rats was heard, and more larvae gathered.

They jumped to the place where the ichor flowed.

But the next second.

A sharp sword fell from the sky.

Whoosh!

The sword blade sliced through the larvae's bodies like 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!

When he was done, he touched his knees.

After wiping away the pus.

Its bones are as bright as new.

…

"Tip: Your summons are immune to the infection of the raging larvae!

…

Your summon ‘Skeleton No. 3’ killed 13 Crazy Seer Larvae, and your XP +13 (the experience has been saved...)”

…

The fight was lively below.

Matthew sat and watched.

Summoning his younger brothers to fight while he hangs up while eating melon seeds next to him, this is the greatest fun of the Necromancer!

What's more, the outcome of this encounter has been planned since the first skeleton soldier raised his dagger——

As Ella said, the most terrifying thing about the raging larvae is their pervasive ability to infect.

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 a nightmare for all living creatures.

But it's different in front of undead creatures.

You can't parasitize a skeleton.

Without its biggest threat, the raging larvae are essentially no different from larger rats.

No matter how slow the skeleton soldiers react, they can still take away several of them with one sword when facing the swarm of insects.

What's even more interesting is that the raging larvae lack intelligence. They seem to be unable to judge the situation on the field and can only rely on instinct to act.

It was clear that the battle was one-sided, but they were still pounced on the skeleton soldiers one after another.

So just fifteen minutes later.

There were hundreds of corpses of Kuangse larvae on the ground!

Matthew's skeleton soldiers were almost undamaged - I say 'almost' because one of the skeleton soldiers moved too much when chopping insects and twisted its ankle into an anti-joint.

But it's a skeleton.

So Matthew just twisted it back for him afterwards.

And after this battle.

Matthew found that the soul fire of most of the skeleton soldiers had solidified!

Undead creatures can also improve their power through fighting and killing, but the progress is less obvious.

Matthew is busy planting trees every day, so the skeleton soldiers naturally sit in the cold palace every day.

Now he finally had a chance to show off his skills, and Matthew was quite satisfied with the results.

…

"So this is the goddess's plan? The undead creatures seem to have natural restraints on the Kuangse Zerg that caused the withering and ruin of this place!"

Matthew thought.

He didn't stay here for too long. After a short rest, he ordered A Bing to continue leading the team deeper.

Matthew himself was flying above with Ella, observing and commanding.

Bon voyage.

Except that on the third floor they encountered two Kuangse infected bodies transformed from humans.

The skeleton soldiers destroyed all the enemies without taking any damage and emptied all the insect nests along the way!

Although there were no big trophies, the dozens of gold coins occasionally dropped and the XP that allowed the skeleton soldiers to quickly upgrade 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 rendering him incompetent.

The other one had a fierce fight with a skeleton soldier. The two sides fought fiercely. The power of Kuangse's infected body was astonishing. By the time A Bing and other skeleton soldiers came over, the skeleton had been torn apart. eight.

This was also the first battle damage Matthew encountered while exploring this cave.

…

"What should we do? Matthew, you are missing a skeleton, do we still want to move on?"

Ella asked nervously.

Their current location is close to the entrance to the fourth floor.

According to Ella.

Starting from the fourth level, this kind of madness infection will become common-of course, not all of them will be infected by human beings, but more of all kinds of animals.

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

"Where is the missing skeleton?"

Faced with Ella's inquiry.

Matthew laughed softly, then he took out the withered wood staff and chanted softly to one of the Crazy Se-infected bodies.

quickly.

Under Ella's surprised gaze.

A shambling 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.

"That's right." Matthew added in his mind: the key still depends on the upper limit of the summoned object.

"Okay, let's just use evil to defeat evil..."

Ella muttered.

Matthew looked at her silently.

She said quickly:

"Then let's go to the next floor quickly!"

Matthew shook his head:

"No, today's mission ends here."

Ella was stunned:

"Why? Did what I just said offend you? Well, I'm sorry Matthew, I apologize to you. Now I can finally understand the wisdom of the goddess. Necromancers are indeed better suited to destroying bugs than druids!"

Matthew yawned:

"No, it has nothing to do with that. There are only four hours left before dawn. I have to go home and sleep now, and I have to get up early tomorrow!"

"Get up early? Why are you up early?"

Ella didn't know why.

"Plant trees!"

Ma Xiu is confident and confident.

"You don't know that that's my job, right?"

…

The next day at dusk.

Matthew simply turned away the eager Ella.

He sat down on the edge of the bed.

A Bing's figure slowly emerged in the corner of the room.

Matthew checked the progress of the tree planting task.

He worked overtime very hard this past week and planted a total of 104 trees, which naturally corresponded to 10 strengthening opportunities.
