Erin Moser stared at the thrust branches, his fingertips lit up a light blue detector. The three-meter-high giant tree appears under the energy scan of the astral realm, and the interlaced patterns on the bark are like solidified dark erosion corps emblems.
Outside the dungeon, Albert looked at the mechanically accurate array of skeletons in the projection and suddenly spoke: "In the Ice Tomb of the Winter family, the bones of the first elemental mage are sleeping. Perhaps the necromancer can interpret the whispers of the dead?"
Gavin stared at the mist core area where Erin was about to step into—the "Lore Wolf Lord's Nest" marked, with a dangerous level far exceeding the novice area: "If she could come out alive, she might be the key to solving the puzzle of the Astral Tower."
Erin's footsteps suddenly stopped. 13 The skeleton warrior turned around at the same time, pointing his bone sword to the depths of the mist - a deeper roar than a rotten wolf came from there, carrying the unique soul fire waves of the Dark Erosion Clan. The ruby in her palm suddenly became hot, resonating with the summoning space. A skeleton warrior's eye socket actually flashed through the same silver-gray pupil as hers.
"Sister Laila said, 'Always awe of unknowns.'" Erin whispered, the soul flame condensing at her fingertips, "But at this moment, I need speed more."
When the 14th Skeleton Warrior joined the array, the veins of Yongge Grassland suddenly trembled. In the direction of the Star Tower, Marcus Virant's array plate burst out with a dazzling silver light - a dead node related to Erin is devouring the energy of the dungeon at an exponential speed.
Albert's communication rune suddenly lit up, and the family secret technique came to Serra's real-time level: level 4, 12% short of level 5. And in the corner of the edge of his vision, Erin Messer's level prompt jumped quietly: Level 5, and the number of summoned objects: 15.
The Crow Feather Emblem of the Dark Erosion Clan is now attached to the skull of the rotten wolf lord, waiting for the prey to step into the trap. Erin Moser, with her army of skeletons, took the first step towards the dark fog deepest in Yongge Grassland.
Erin Messer stared at the data stream on the retina, his fingertips slashing through the Skeleton Warrior's summoning interface. 13 White bones drew afterimages in the mist of Yongge Grassland, and each bone sword slashed with the brisk beating of experience points.
"The density is increased by 27%, and the efficiency of killing monsters has increased simultaneously." She murmured to herself, crushing a shiny star grass on the bottom of her boots, "The overall increase in the region has increased the attack frequency of the skeleton warriors by 15% - this is the key to upgrading and acceleration."
The monster level deep in the dungeon has stabilized at levels 6-7, with the wailing of the green wolf and the black panther one after another. When the 72nd Level 5 rotten wolf fell under the Bone Sword, the upgraded light column exploded again, Erin's summoning space capacity exceeded 50 grids, and the four-dimensional attribute of the skeleton warrior soared to 450 points.
[Kill Level 7 Frost-Maned Bear, Experience + 70]
[Kill Level 7 Shadow Leopard, Experience + 60]
"After level 5, the experience acquisition efficiency is reduced by 40%." Erin calculated the attribute panel and found that the attack speed of the skeleton warrior increased to 1.8 seconds/time due to the "March of the Dead", "but the number of summoned objects makes up for this - 16 skeletons work at the same time, equivalent to 16 mobile turrets."
The terrain of Yongge Grassland is quietly changing, waist-high cornflowers gradually become sparse, and a black forest appears in front of them, and the branches of trees are twisted like the fingers of the dead. It is the "Shadow Woodland" marked in the copy - the habitat of the level 8 elite monster.
"Enter the dungeon for 6 hours and 42 minutes." Erin glanced at the astral timer on her wrist, and the faint blue light reflected her pale face. "Serra Winter should have just reached Level 3, and Case Reon's Sword and Shield Knights may be hovering at Level 4."
When the 17th skeleton warrior stepped into the woodland, a sudden change occurred. A branch wrapped in shadow energy sucked like a living thing, so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to distinguish, but it was like a wall when it touched Erin's chest - Passive skill "Damage Transfer" took effect, and the sound of a broken bone blade coming from the left, and a crack appeared in the chest of a skeleton warrior.
"The attack transfers to the summons." Erin stared at her unscathed hands, feeling the faint sting in the summoning space, "It's equivalent to having 17 lives until they all shatter."
Deep in the woodland, eight level 8 shadow tree people slowly stood up, black juice oozing out from the cracks in the bark, and the crow feather emblem of the Dark Erosion Clan was embedded between their foreheads. These unweaked elite monsters are the touchstones used by novices to connect to the wild challenges.
"The test begins." Erin thought, and 17 skeleton warriors automatically formed an encirclement formation. The tree man, who was the first to be hit, swung his trunk, but was cut off by three skeletons at the same time. The wooden body fell to the ground with a bang - under the 450 power attribute, the Elite Monster's defense was as fragile as paper.
[Kill Level 8 Shadow Treeman, Experience + 100]
[Acquired material: Shadow Wood Heart ×1 (can make Undead amplification scroll)]
Erin raised her eyebrows, this was the first time that a newbie dungeon dropped material, proving that she had touched the deep area of the dungeon. The remaining seven tree men let out a vague roar, the crow feather emblem on the bark suddenly lit up, the temperature of the entire woodland dropped sharply, and the skeleton warrior's movement speed slowed down by 10%.
"The weakened curse of the Dark Erosion Clan." Erin recognized this energy fluctuation, which was exactly the same as the Shadow Crow Technique recorded in her mother's note, "but the impact on the dead creatures was only 3 seconds delayed."
Sure enough, the skeleton warrior's soul fire returned to normal after a brief period of destruction, and the bone sword slashing speed increased. When the last treeman fell to the ground, Erin's experience bar jumped to 76%, which took only 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
"The elite monsters that ordinary adventurers need to form a team to challenge have no power to fight back in front of the sea of skeletons." She recalled the damaged skeleton warriors and watched them quickly repair them in the summoning space. "If you encounter similar monsters in the wild, your efficiency will be increased by at least 50%.
The Astral Timer shows the remaining 5 hours and 18 minutes, Erin decides to challenge the Rotten Wolf Lord deep in the woodland - the final guard monster in the novice dungeon, marked as Level 8 leader, and the undefeated strength is enough to kill the regular team.
The moment he stepped into the lord's nest, hundreds of rotten wolf cubs flocked to him, but turned into experience points in the Bone Sword Storm. The roar of the rotten wolf lord came from the depths of the cave, and the dense skeleton warriors reflected in the scarlet pupils, showing fear for the first time.
[Detected leader-level monster, unlocking skill: Deadly (primary) - Increase 30% damage to undead creatures by summoning]
Erin's lips raised an invisible curve. When the first skeleton warrior stabbed the bone sword into the lord's throat, her level prompt jumped quietly: Level 6, and the number of summoned objects: 20. At this time, President Gavin outside the copy was watching the real-time data in shock - someone broke level 6 in 7 hours, breaking the record that Eternal Night Academy has held for ten years.
The surveillance runes of the Dark Erosion Clan shattered on the top of the cave. The last record of the remote observer is: "The target has the control of the dead, and it is recommended to activate the B-level hunting order." Erin Moser, stepping on the corpse of the rotten wolf lord, is planning a route to the outside of Silver Moon City tomorrow - the level 9 wolf there will be her next pedal to hit level 12.
[Shadow Whip Tree (Lv8)]
[Features: Perceive the breath of life under dormant state, with an attack range of 15 meters, and a wooden somatic immune to physical attack 30%]
"So that's it." She took two steps back, and the rotten wolf leather boots crushed the astral moss on the ground. "Non-life bodies will not trigger attacks - this is the advantage of the skeleton warrior."
Seventeen skeleton warriors reorganized their array behind her, and the sound of bone swords colliding like the war song of the dead. When the first skeleton swung his sword toward the trunk, the branches of the whip tree suddenly turned into steel whips, hitting the bone armor four times a second, splashing out the metal-colliding Mars.
"The physique is 550 points, and the defense increases offset 70% of the damage." Erin calculated the damage to the skeleton warrior. The crack slowly healed under the automatic repair of the summoning space. "Four-killing kills, the cost-effectiveness is lower than the level 7 Frost-maned bear, but the strength is the density."
Deep in the shadow woodland, hundreds of whip trees loom in the mist, and the crow feather emblems on the bark were shining - this was a pollution mark implanted by the Dark Erosion Clan, but unexpectedly became the best leveling target. The skeleton warriors were as if they had entered a no-man's realm. As the bone swords rose and fell, their experience values soared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
[Kill Shadow Whip Tree, Experience + 160]
[Acquired Material: Shadow Wood Pile ×1 (can make the Undead Tough Scroll)]
Erin noticed that as the number of kills increased, the experience gains of each whip tree gradually faded, but the dense distribution of monsters made up for this. When the 37th whip tree fell to the ground, the upgraded light column once again enveloped the whole body, the summoned space capacity exceeded 60 grids, and the four-dimensional attribute of the skeleton warrior reached 550 points - enough to beat the level 9 wolf outside the Silver Moon City head-on.
"Traditional professions need to calculate skill cycles, and I just need to expand the summoning scale." She murmured to herself, her fingertips crossing the summoning interface, and the seventeenth skeleton warrior walked out of the vortex. The astral runes on the bone blade were three points brighter than before. "The overall increase in the region subtly improved the quality of the summoning object."
Outside the dungeon, Gavin Hawke's array disk suddenly beeped. In real-time data projection, Erin's kill count exceeded 1,200, and the level bar was about to reach level 7. Albert Winter beside him put down the ice-type staff in his hand, and an extremely bright data stream reflected in the ice-blue pupils: "This is the leveling efficiency of the undead tide."
When the eighteenth skeleton warrior swung his sword and cut down the canopy of the last whip tree, Erin's retina interface popped up: [The dungeon area has been cleared, will it be exited? ]She glanced at the Astral Timer - Entering the dungeon for 10 hours and 12 minutes, and there was 1 hour and 48 minutes left until forced exit.
"There is no need to continue." Erin recalled all the skeleton warriors, arranged in neatly square formations in the summoning space, and the soul fire was as bright as a disciplined undead legion. "The level 9 wolf in the wild will be a better source of experience."
When the light at the entrance of the copy lighted up, the principals guarding outside stood up one after another. Gavin quickly stepped forward, and the Saint Swordsman's shoulder armor shone with a glimmer of light in the twilight: "Irene, what happened? Why did he quit early—"
"Kill them all." Erin's voice was as calm as water, the astral emblem on her cuff resonated with the energy from the exit of the dungeon, "The level 8 monsters in Shadow Woodland have been cleared."
Gavin's eyes fell on her level display, and the Adam's apple rolled unconsciously:
[Eileen Moser, Necromancer, Lv7]
Albert's communication rune suddenly lit up, and the family secret technique sent Serra Winter's real-time data: level 4, 217 kills - less than a fraction of Erin's. He suddenly remembered the morning conversation, and Gavin once said, "The Necromancer may solve the mystery of the astral tower." At this moment, he looked at the skeleton phantom that was looming behind the girl, and truly believed this sentence for the first time.
"Do you need to notify Eternal Night Academy?" Marcus Virant's array flashed with a warning from the Star Tower, "her summoned objects have exceeded the limits of the regular career."
Gavin shook his head, his eyes falling on Erin's gradually fading back: "Let her rest first. Tomorrow, the deserted wolf hills outside Silver Moon City will be the real test."
In the monitoring station of the Dark Erosion Cult, the chief priest looked at the skeleton army that disappeared from the holographic projection, and his fingertips fell deeply into his palm: "Activate the 'Shadow Crow Hunting' plan. The orphans of the Astral Council cannot grow to the point of threatening the leader."
At this time, Erin Moser was standing among the cornflowers at the exit of the copy, staring at the spire tower of Silver Moon City in the distance. The magic bell tower there is ringing the evening bell, but no one knows that an existence that will rewrite the history of the magic of the undead has taken the first step deep in the Yongge Grassland.
