Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 497 - 337: Brushing Past Death, Grazing into Pieces, the Little Skeleton is Crisp and Brittle!_2

But now that he’s Fourth Order Level 100, this skill has also reached Level 20, allowing him to condense 22 Shadow Arrows at once.

It could be considered a small-scale Shadow Arrow Rain, but the damage it inflicted made Zi Liyuan’s eye twitch uncontrollably.

Because each Shadow Arrow was dealing less than 10,000 points of damage!

Back on Blue Star, with his current Fourth Order Level 100 and Shadow Arrow Level 20, a single arrow could inflict damage in the millions.

This was a direct weakening by a hundredfold!

Fortunately, the regular stone golems were not even First Order, and none had more than 1,000 HP. Under Zi Liyuan’s control, the Shadow Arrows slowed down a bit and accurately drilled into the golems.

The sound of cracking was incessant.

This wave of Shadow Arrow Rain directly wiped out twenty-two of them.

At once, the area near the base of the mountain range was littered with heaps of stone materials.

Shaking his head, without waiting for the remaining Boss and the lesser stone monsters to approach, he carelessly condensed another Shadow Arrow to dispatch the lesser stone golem and then a "Death Dark Arrow" aimed at the stone golem Boss.

Without any surprises, the stone golem Boss was struck soul-deep and sent off.

"Minions, back to work, pick up all these stone materials and carry them back to the shack," he ordered.

Twenty-five stone golems, an entire family sent off in unison, leaving behind a field of stone materials.

The regular monsters dropped stone material (white) x4, stone material (green) x1, and the regular Boss dropped stone material (green) x5.

The amount of material dropped was really small; even Zi Liyuan, who tightly clung to Lady Luck’s silky black thigh, could only get so much resource. The state of other Lords could be easily imagined.

However, overall, obtaining 29 pieces of green stone material was still a very good harvest.

However, watching the little skeletons work was somewhat agonizing.

But there was good news; these undead skeletons were smarter than during Blue Star, capable of following simple orders to work.

However, due to their drastically weakened strength, even carrying bricks was very difficult for these little skeletons.

Forget about carrying several bricks at a time, they could only handle one piece of stone big as a human head at a time.

Luckily, with more than two thousand workers, what lacked in quality was made up for in quantity.

Fearing that the little skeletons would attract more monsters, Zi Liyuan, with his "Death’s Eye" on, scouted around once again.

Within a two hundred meter radius at the base of the stone mountain range, there were no other monsters hiding.

But before Lord Zi could breathe a sigh of relief, his senses detected more little skeletons perishing, this time in the forest.

"Damn it! Just my tough luck," he cursed under his breath and hurriedly made his way toward the forest.

En route, he tested various summon spells derived from skeletons, and without exception, each spell summoned the most basic Level 1 skeletons.

However, due to the differences in summoning spells, there were some variations among these skeletons.

The thickness and height of their skeleton frames were slightly different, as well as the level of template evolution.

For example, skeletons summoned with the Skeleton Warrior Spell could evolve into the elite template.

But those summoned with the standard Skeleton Summoning couldn’t evolve.

After studying the differences in spells to some extent, Zi Liyuan quickly arrived in the forest.

The little skeletons were picking up timber, some trying to break branches from trees?

In the depths, a dozen or so wild wolves were hunting the little skeletons.

With the pathetic attributes of these little skeletons, it was a typical case of delivering a rack of ribs right to one’s door.

Yet these wolves were dishonorable; despite the skeletons feeding themselves to the wolves willingly, with virtually every wolf gnawing on a rib, they continued to hunt.

Zi Liyuan, of course, wouldn’t waste words on such dishonorable creatures.

He immediately condensed another wave of Shadow Arrow Rain and launched it at the pack of wolf cubs.

Still an instant kill, the dozen or so wolves were neatly sent off to reunite in the Netherworld.

"Bring the corpse back."

Having issued a simple order, Zi Liyuan began to wander around the nearby forest.

The "Elemental Map" and "Death’s Eye" had been in constant use, so he had a clear view of everything nearby.

It has to be said, the resources within the forest are indeed abundant.

Herbs could be seen everywhere, lumber appeared readily available, and there were even caves hidden beneath the ground!

Under the Elemental Map, unless there are special shielding methods at play, all terrain formations can’t escape Zi Liyuan’s sight.

"Caves tall enough for a grown man, intricate and complex, yet not a single creature in sight. What kind of thing dug these?"

These underground caverns were at least five meters below the surface at their closest points.

The entire network of caverns was dense and intertwined, forming a vast labyrinth.

Yet, not a single creature was to be seen, not even a single elemental, which was indeed strange to Zi Liyuan.

"I hope it’s not some messy, powerful creature that created this. Otherwise, I might need to consider relocating."

The location of his territory was excellent, rich in resources on all sides, more than enough for Zi Liyuan to quickly upgrade the Lord’s Mansion to a Level 10 village.

He certainly didn’t want to use the [Heart of the Lord] to move the territory away from this area.

After surveying around the forest, aside from discovering some wild beasts, he didn’t encounter any other threatening creatures.

So, he began to head eastward.

Between the territory and the small river lay a flat expanse, perfectly suited for opening up farmland or other plantations. Continue reading at empire

"What a pity for this picturesque land, full of lush forests and fragrant flowers, to ultimately become a land of death."

Once the Lord’s Mansion reaches Level 10, Zi Liyuan would develop this land in the direction of a Castle of the Undead.

At that point, the scenery here would drastically change. At the very least, the earth would definitely be eroded by death energy, turning this place into a barren land, a paradise for the undead.

"Wow, that crocodile is of such a high level."

Zi Liyuan did not approach the riverbank but kept a distance of dozens of meters to observe.

Through the "Death’s Eye," a large group of powerful life sources stood out glaringly to him.

Roughly a hundred crocodiles, the weakest of them being Level 45 Second Order, with one boss among them at Level 60 Third Order.

All of elite template, these crocodiles were undoubtedly the overlords of this section of the river.

Zi Liyuan did not act against this group of crocodiles. With his current attributes, he could defeat them, but there was no need to provoke them for the time being.

After patrolling the surroundings, Zi Liyuan returned to the makeshift shelter in the Lord’s Mansion.

By this time, a pile of stone and wood resources had accumulated inside the shelter.

Moreover, skeletons were continuously bringing in more resources.

The resources at hand were not yet sufficient for upgrading the Lord’s Mansion, but he could look into other construction facilities.

When he opened up the construction menu, a long list of items appeared before his eyes.
