Chapter 101 A First Exploration into the Garden of the Dead

"Cousin, don't you feel that we are more like monsters in this courtyard now?"

Wearing a cloak and carrying a war hammer, Tebitha stood beside Mu Hua and teased as she watched a group of skeleton generals causing trouble to the skeleton guards.

That's right, because of the shield combat skills, although the Skeleton Guards will not be defeated by the Skeleton General, the gap in strength still puts the Skeleton Guards on the losing side.

That's it for the skeletal undead. The most annoying ghosts in the courtyard of the undead will be captured and devoured by Monday and Tuesday whenever they appear near Mu Hua, and Tabitha doesn't have to deal with them at all.

Ten miles away from the safe zone, the undead creatures in this area are of a lower level, and Mu Hua and his group are in a state of panic along the way.

The skeleton generals led by Mu Hua were more ferocious and arrogant than the undead they encountered along the way, and Tabitha felt as if she was on the side of the chaotic monsters.

"Are these undead true beings?" Mu Hua frowned, ignoring Tabitha's teasing.

The Skeleton Warrior is the main body, and the Skeleton Guard is barely classified as a third-level monster. After killing a few of them, Mu Hua discovered that they were still the main body.

After putting the remains of a skeleton guard into the Fenyuan Furnace, Mu Hua did not look for the magic core among the pile of bones.

The magic core of undead creatures is different from other monsters. The magic core can be regarded as fatal to most monsters, but the magic core of undead creatures will only condense from the soul after death.

No one can be sure which bone the skeleton undead's magic core is in, because collecting the magic core is troublesome, which is what makes them annoying to adventurers.

Bone Teeth Skill Stone*1, Soul Fragment*0.2, Soul Dust*1, Foundation of Life (Ashes)*1.4, Constitution Secret Stone*1, Philosopher's Stone*0.1.

Big bang?

This time, there are one more skill stone and physical secret stone than the skeleton guard that was smelted earlier. Mu Hua seems to have a big hit.

The little surprise of smelting, but Mu Hua's temporary focus is not on it.

He had also encountered undead creatures in Landon's courtyard in his early years. At that time, many skeleton warriors came from projections. There were so many undead bodies here. Mu Hua wondered, could it be because this is the courtyard of the undead?

"Bodies in hell can easily turn into undead."

"The pale land will also give birth to undead when the wind of aging blows."

"Jealous demons also like to spawn undead. These low-level undead are just cannon fodder for the jealous demons. There is no need to consume resources for them to project."

Tuesday floated next to Mu Hua, explaining Mu Hua's doubts.

"Ang" With a trembling roar, a small group of skeletons were wiped out again. A group of skeleton generals roared in demonstration, scaring away the nearby evil spirits.

Mu Hua discovered that these skeletal generals who had acquired vocal cords liked howling indiscriminately, but Mu Hua was not too fond of those low-level ghosts.

Because even if they were in their true form, they would go into the stomachs of Monday and Tuesday. If they were killed normally, they would turn into fly ash without even leaving their magic core. Mu Hua had no idea how to put them into the furnace.

"Cannon fodder, then there must be a lot of jealous demons in this courtyard, right? Hell is really terrifying." Mu Hua muttered.

Although the Skeleton Generals were already at the mid-level, Mu Hua knew that they were still larger cannon fodder.

Perhaps only when they reach the level of black-armored skeleton generals, and their armor and blood give them a certain amount of magic resistance, can they be considered the backbone of the skeleton undead line.

The gray earth, the gray woods, and everything in the Garden of the Dead seemed to be dyed gray and white.

Although there are plants growing here, on the land filled with dead energy, only those special plants that are adapted to the dead energy environment can grow.

"How's it going? Which way to go?" There was a fork in the road ahead, Mu Hua asked Tebitha.

Directly in front of the road is a dense forest. Within the dense forest, pine trees with gray branches and leaves grow very densely.

You may be able to collect some Grimace Mushrooms and Undead Mushrooms in this kind of forest.

They are all magical plants that grow in places full of death, and they are quite valuable to collect.

However, it is said that there are many skeletons and undead buried underground in this forest sea. They will emerge from the ground when people pass by, making it difficult for people to guard against them.

The dense forest has great restrictions on the movement of General Skeleton, and the dead souls in this environment are also more dangerous. Mu Hua and Tebitha gave up this route early.

The road to the left of the forest leads to a mountainous area, and the road to the right leads to a basin and a Dead Sea.

The boundless Dead Sea is like a cage blocking the three directions of the basin. Going north along the beach of the Dead Sea, the roads on the left and right will converge again.

It is said that they will arrive at a burial ground that is no larger than an ordinary province.

Passing through the Bone Burial Wasteland, you will reach a city of the undead shrouded in fog of death all day long, where the ‘Devil King’ of this courtyard sleeps.

"Go to the basin on the right. It is said that there are many lichs in the mountains on the left, and occasionally there will be wandering bone dragons." Tebitha brought up the forum interface of the Adventure Guild and searched for available information.

"Most of the terrain on the right is more suitable for the Skeleton Generals group to charge, and the black-armored generals and death knights over there may carry equipment."

"You shouldn't encounter elite-level death knights south of the Boneyard. However, there are organized undead gathering places in the basin area, and we must be prepared to retreat at any time."

Based on her investigation last night, Tebitha said to Mu Hua while looking at the map.

The so-called elite monsters are those individuals with stronger talents, longer survival, and those who have surpassed the natural growth limit through attribute cultivation.

Their combat power exceeds that of their kind, just like the difference between settlers and adventurers. It is a monster whose true combat power is difficult to assess without confirming it with your own eyes.

"Then go to the right. But, Bertha, I will use the magic core harvested this time. I will make you some undead constructs later as compensation." Mu Hua confirmed the reply.

"The magic core of the skeleton warrior? There is no need to care so much, right?" Tebitha frowned.

Because of its ability to store magic and reuse it, magic cores are much more expensive than magic stones.

However, the uses of low-level magic cores are limited, and the price is also more expensive than low-level magic stones. Tebitha didn't mind the gain.

"Of course, it's not me who wants to form a team anyway, so you don't have to care." Mu Hua said nonchalantly, and Tebitha was briefly stunned.

"Okay, I understand." He seemed to realize the problem he had ignored.

"But, didn't you say that you can create undead? Why construct undead?" Tabitha said teasingly, somewhat dissatisfied with Mu Hua's tone.

Tabitha was not sure whether Mu Hua could make undead constructs.

But the so-called deriving undead is basically creating undead creatures.

Tebitha didn't quite believe that Mu Hua could master those creation techniques that could literally burn out the human brain.

"Miss, the spawned undead will respect their spawns, but there is no contract." Mu Hua rolled his eyes, feeling that it would be troublesome to explain, but Tuesday, who was beside him, intervened in reply.

"Their relationship with the derivatives is like your human parents and children."

"But it should be normal for you humans to kill your father and mother, right? Not to mention you, a creature that has nothing to do with them."

"If you can sign a slavery contract with those undead, you can even let them attack the derivatives."

"Of course, if there is no contract, unless you control the custody of the undead, they have no reason to obey your orders." Tuesday explained in a popular way.

"Respected, but the detention of undead can make them backlash? Wouldn't it be dangerous to generate undead?" Tebitha frowned.

It is also similar to creating life, but the derived undead seem to be more unstable than magical life.

"The minds of the undead skeletons are relatively simple. As long as no one controls them, they will usually obey the derivatives. And it is easier for the derivatives to make them sign a slavery contract," Mu Hua explained.

"Can you really spawn undead?" Tabitha was suspicious.

"Who knows, you won't lose much if you try." Mu Hua spread his hands.

"Well, okay, then you'd better make my undead construct first. What can you do? Skeletons, bone beasts?" Tebitha said with a smile, she still didn't quite believe that Mu Hua could derive undead.

"what do you like?"

"How about a skeleton? It's easy to carry around."

"It's all the same. It's not a real life form, that is, a puppet controlled by a ghost. Can you get a gap in the construction?"

"That's right." Tebitha smiled.

She was purely cooperating with Mu Hua. She doubted that Mu Hua could even construct an undead spirit.

While talking, Tebitha urged Mu Hua to take out the armed shuttle and hurry up. She had already had enough of the skeleton warriors. She wanted to go to the basin to fight some monsters that could yield valuable items.

After riding the shuttle, Mu Hua had to send a group of skeleton generals back to the summoning space. They obviously couldn't catch up with the speed of the shuttle.

"This thing is really not suitable for the Necromancer." After starting the shuttle, Mu Hua patted the car and complained.

"Ha, maybe you can give yourself a skeleton war horse and summon a skeleton war horse, haha, cool." Tebitha teased.

The shuttle is convenient and energy-saving. Well, at least it saves a lot more energy than the tank.

"...Skeleton war horse?" Mu Hua thought thoughtfully, and the two of them drove the shuttle towards the basin.
