This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 57 Powerful New Troops

Within the castle, Amber Xiu looked at a pile of bones that had been soaked in nutrient solution and nodded with satisfaction.

 The reproductive bone virus has been perfectly injected into the bones. After soaking in the nutrient solution, these bones can continue to repair themselves and proliferate for a long time.

“Well done, you are almost qualified to control a laboratory independently.”

Amberxiu's praise did not make Isabel happy. The poor little girl had dark circles under her eyes and her body was a little shaky.

Although there are many steps, this experiment is not difficult. The only problem is the danger.

Isabel did not dare to make any mistakes during the experiment, for fear that she would be made undead by Amber Xiu after being infected with the virus.

 The more nervous she became, the greater the mental pressure. After staying up like this for a day and a night, Isabel felt that she had been completely drained and could not even stand steady.

 “I...I went to rest...”

Isabel staggered towards her room. Amberxiu touched his chin, wondering if he should just turn her into an undead. The human body had to eat, drink, and defecate, so it was really not cost-effective.

But if you think about it, forget it. Undead are better than undead, and humans are better than humans.

  In any case, Isabel will die in a few decades, so there is no rush now.

Turning his head to look at the bones soaked in the jar, Amber Xiu saw a large amount of magic power condensed around his body. The light blue energy light condensed into the shape of a palm and floated next to Amber Xiu.

More than a dozen mage hands started working quickly and orderly.

 The bones were taken out piece by piece and assembled according to Amber Xiu's design.

These are not human bones, but from a creature called a subterranean beast.

This creature comes from the Underdark. It is a huge beast that looks a bit like a yak, but is larger and more powerful. Some cruel drow like to use the heads of underground Loth beasts to dig into rocks, which shows how powerful this creature is and how hard its head is.

These bones are gifts from the Apoptotic Rose, and a large part of the initial payment consists of various materials, not just gold coins.

 The Dilos beast is huge, and its bones are naturally thicker and stronger. This kind of bone is not suitable for being made into a small mantis skeleton. Amber Xiu wants to make another special kind of skeleton this time.

The huge bones began to assemble under the control of Amber Xiu. The thick base was still a multi-legged structure similar to an insect, but the thick joints could only provide simple forward, backward and steering, which strengthened the structure and load-bearing and reduced flexibility. .

The upper body is directly piled with armor, composed of thick underground Los beast skulls, like a cover covered with bone spurs, with only a huge hole exposed.

 Then, Amber Xiu used the hands of a mage to move a portable magic cannon.

This thing is made according to the original drawings of Alchemy City. Because the materials are not very qualified, there is a risk of explosion.

But it’s not a big problem. Amberxiu is best at using this low-end material to make cheap and easy-to-use skeleton puppets.

After the assembly was completed, a very strange-looking skeleton appeared in the center of the laboratory. In fact, this shape can no longer be said to be a skeleton, it is completely a round tank.

 It is two meters high, nearly four meters in diameter, and has a long barrel of three meters.

 The hard skull wraps the entire body, and even the multi-legged structure at the bottom is protected inside. Only one barrel is exposed from the stocky body.

Amberxiu stuffed a prepared artificial soul into it, and the skeleton tank started running.

There was a muffled sound of "dong-dong-dong". It was the multi-legged joints at the bottom operating smoothly, causing the floor to vibrate slightly.

 Then there are forward, backward, and slow turns...the movements are a bit sluggish, but overall there is no problem.

The next step is to test the power.

 Amber Xiu controlled the skeleton tank and walked into a teleportation array. With a flash of light, the huge skeleton and mechanical creation were sent to the sewers of the Alchemy City.

　　This behemoth attracted the attention of the sewer monsters as soon as it appeared. A red light lit up in the darkness, and the twisted and disgusting slime began to crawl towards the skeleton tank.

 After some time, the slime in the sewer seemed to mutate again.

These slimes have many metal parts on their bodies, such as nails, blades, steel bars and saw blades. It is not known who threw this kind of industrial waste into the sewer. If a mortal was wrapped in this kind of slime, he would be covered in bruises in an instant.

 The Skeleton Tank is an undead machine without emotions. The fire of the soul is burning brightly, and slight ripples begin to appear in the barrel.

Then there was a small but dull explosion in the air, and a group of gray-white stuff spurted out of the barrel, and began to fall apart as soon as it came out of the barrel.

  Bone shotguns covered a large area ahead, and more than a dozen mutated slimes were hit by these bone fragments.

The popping sound is the broken bones falling into the soft mud body, and the tinkling sound is the broken bones hitting the metal fragments.

 The powerful impact blew all the soft slimes away, and they were torn into pieces under the impact of countless broken bones. Even the metal parts were obviously deformed and scattered in all directions.

Slime is immune to many physical injuries, but it cannot withstand the power of this portable magic cannon. Once it was shot, it was directly torn to pieces by the impact, and the debris was spread all over the ground.

But the power of this cannon is more than that. A few lucky slimes were only scratched by bone-crushing shotguns and did not die completely. However, those bone fragments began to grow and multiply rapidly after entering the slimes' bodies, and they will continue to grow. Held together with nearby bone fragments.

Strange white bone corals with strange shapes grew out of these slimes, tearing their bodies apart.

Some slimes died directly, while others reluctantly used their own digestive ability to eat these growing bones. Their growth and devouring abilities were constantly in tension, and they completely lost their ability to move.

 Then there were two more bangs and bangs, and all the slimes in this space died.

Amberxiu checked the skeleton tank and found that the bone structure was quite stable. He cleverly restricted the growth of the reproductive bone virus in the loading room, where bone shells could be continuously generated, and then passed through the wind pressure of the magic cannon. Launched.

The material of the magic cannon is too rubbish, and its firing life is estimated to be less than ten rounds. However, there is no problem, because the magic array inside the magic cannon can only support six shells at most, and the magic power will be used up before the chamber is exploded.

The sales of portable magic cannons like Alchemy City have not been very good. The reason is that the mobile barrel is not easy to charge. If it is placed on the city wall and linked to the charging magic array, then the caliber is too small and a bit advanced. Toy feel.

Despite all the inconveniences, this is the simplest strengthening method in a short period of time. Amberxiu is still not sure what exactly took off his head, so he is prepared for any trouble.

I walked around the sewer with the skeleton tank, and all six shells were fired. The power was indeed very good, and it would cause injuries and death within 20 meters. If it were to be bombarded at close range, even Amber Xiu, carrying a magic shield, would not be able to block these six consecutive rounds of bone shells.

However, it is of little significance to deal with the legendary powerhouse. The movements of this skeleton tank are very clumsy, and there is an obvious pause and energy accumulation before firing. In this time, it is easy to dodge or attack first, unless there is a pit in the brain and you have to resist face to face. Or the terrain restrictions mean that you can only resist hard.

As soon as he teleported back to the castle with the skeleton tank, Amberxiu felt something was wrong.

 The castle was invaded, and a magic trap was triggered. However, the intruder seemed to be of high skill and directly dismantled the trap.

Amberxiu thought it was a paladin who took action so quickly. He quickly opened the crystal monitor to check the situation, but saw two familiar figures.

Dahei and Erha, the two "clients" whose property was expropriated by Amber, were sneakily climbing up from the back of the castle. The magic trap was destroyed by these two people.

Amber Xiu was about to take down the two men when a huge black shadow more than four meters high suddenly appeared on the crystal monitor.

 Amberson sighed.

 These two are finished.

The second update will be a little later. The wireless keyboard was suddenly sent and I can’t connect to it. The code on my phone is stuck. Sorry.
