rustle~
The tall trees are swaying, the white mist is floating, and the depths of the forest are so mysterious.
Only when you are in your own territory and can see everything from God's perspective can you feel a sense of security.
As the third-person perspective gradually increases to a bird's-eye perspective, Mu Yuan's game character enters the territory.
In front of the computer, he rubbed his sore wrist.
Night has fallen, Baijiang City is brightly lit, and the roar of a locomotive passing by can be heard outside the window.
The skylight of the eternal world gradually receded from the end of the horizon, the black curtain fell, and darkness enveloped the earth. The mist billowing under the night was like a huge mouth, trying to swallow up everything that walked into it.
All kinds of monsters gradually become active, and their screams come and go, intertwining to form a terrifying movement.
"The Dead Bones are a lot stronger, but you still have to be careful when going out, and the efficiency is low."
Today, the size of his exploration team has been slightly expanded. It is a combination of 2 skeleton soldiers + 3 small skeletons + 1 hunting falcon.
and conducted two explorations.
The reason why he had to go back and rest twice was because his game character couldn't bear it. He ate red blood fruit yesterday and his physical fitness improved slightly. However, the broken roads in the wilderness were still too difficult to walk on. Mu Yuan had to concentrate on controlling the game characters, otherwise if he accidentally tripped on something, he would fall to the ground.
It's all the road's fault!
Of course, the low efficiency of exploration is also related to his being too cautious. As soon as he feels something is wrong, Mu Yuan will immediately retreat strategically, so the exploration is relatively slow.
However, compared to yesterday, many dark areas have been explored today.
Mu Yuan opened the map.
The area outside the territory was still covered in white fog, so naturally he could not see any units, but the darkness in the areas that had been explored would fade away, and the terrain and environment there could be clearly seen on the map.
"To the north, continuing north from yesterday's fruit forest, there is a small Goblin camp."
"It may not be big, but it is at the camp level after all. From a distance, there are at least dozens of goblins. They are existences that we cannot afford to offend at the moment."
Before discovering the goblin camp, Muyuan's team also killed some lone goblins.
These ordinary goblins are as weak as little skeletons, and the skeleton soldiers are brittle when chopped down.
When he discovered the goblin camp, Gu Er, a fool, rushed up on the spot.
"Kakaka~"
Go ahead and crush them all!
The meaning was Mu Yuan's guess, and it was most likely wrong. He felt that Gu Er was not that smart. He doubted that this guy had no ideas at all, and would just keep rushing forward.
He shouldn't have given this idiot a second name.
Well, this is true for most common arms and even low-level rare arms.
They only have some fighting instincts left, so they can't expect too much.
It was the Dead Bones that raised his expectations.
"So Dead Bones, from now on the new skeletons will be trained by you and behave well."
Mu Yuan patted Dead Bone on the shoulder.
Death Bone was very happy to be 'entrusted with an important task', and his soul fire was beating with excitement. Duangduang patted his armor to express that he would definitely live up to the trust.
Mu Yuan, who had become a hands-off shopkeeper and had not drawn the cake yet, smiled and nodded.
He heard that while the troops that had awakened their self-awareness were more natural, had stronger learning abilities, and were easier to break through, they also had certain flaws.
Just too smart.
Smart troops sometimes look down on weak lords, and refuse some instructions they don't like. They even require lords to pay their wages daily, or they don't like working and always want to take advantage of the situation.
It can be summarized that the upper limit of self-aware arms is higher, but the demand is also greater.
"Really? You don't seem to feel this way?"
Mu Yuan touched his chin.
As long as Death Bones is happy, he is not exploiting his employees.
No, how can you describe it as "squeezing"? This is exercise. It is precisely because Death Bones has awakened his self-awareness that he needs more exercise opportunities to unleash his potential.
As for Mu Yuan, he just provided some training opportunities.
The Goblin camp did not dare to attack, so Mu Yuan could only send out a small number of hunting falcons to conduct some exploration. It's a pity that he doesn't know the language of birds, and he doesn't have a soldier who understands the language of birds and has awakened his own consciousness to translate it. He doesn't quite understand what the falcon means.
I only roughly figured out that there were at least dozens of goblins in the camp, and there were no less than three types of goblin soldiers.
Goblins, Big Goblins, and Goblin Spear Throwers.
The Goblin Spear Thrower is a two-star unit. Its lethality may not be strong but it has long-range capabilities.
The falcon was almost shot down by a spear thrower when it was exploring the goblin camp, and now it also lost all its feathers.
"This goblin camp is too close to the territory. We must deal with it first if we have the ability, otherwise, sooner or later they will come knocking on our door."
"And if there is no camp to capture, it is not advisable to take a detour and continue exploring north. Otherwise, if you encounter an unexpected situation and want to make a strategic retreat, your retreat will easily be blocked by goblins."
On his second exploration, Mu Yuan chose the west.
There are many fewer lone wild monsters such as gray wolves, goblins, and cavemen in the west, but there is an increase in a rare monster - the two-star poisonous spider.
They are as big as a millstone, look scary, and can spit venom.
Venom is not a skill, but it is poisonous.
Other players may be reluctant to face such poisonous spiders, as they are too poisonous, and it is very troublesome for the soldiers to recover once they are poisoned - it consumes a lot of soul sand, and the gain outweighs the loss.
It just so happened that the skeletons of the Muyuan family were not very afraid of poison.
Mu Yuan, together with the dead bones and other skeletons, went to kill at least twenty poisonous spiders in the poisonous spider forest.
But as we go deeper, the environment of the poisonous spider forest gradually changes. The leaves of the trees are glowing with black and purple luster, and huge spider webs can be seen in the distance, knotted on branches dozens of meters high.
That spider, what size must it be?
Mu Yuan was convinced.
Dead Bones also felt that a strategic retreat was an option.
So they retreated.
Mu Yuan took out a piece of A3 paper and wrote and drew on it. He first made a circle to represent his own territory, and then made a cross in the north to mark the goblin camp.
As for the west, what they have explored so far is only the edge of the black-purple forest. He cannot guess how big this forest is, and whether there are increasingly terrifying giant spiders in the depths.
He named it the Spider Forest and noted that it was not advisable to go deep into it.
Throughout the whole day, he didn't find the root of filth, but he also killed a lot of lone wild monsters, swept through many areas, and gained a lot.
Mu Yuan counted them one by one.
"Soul sand is 39.6g. Because the remnant soul didn't encounter any higher-level or higher-star monsters, only one dropped out... or is this the normal drop rate?"
"As for materials, I found three ordinary-level hemostatic grasses, which have significant healing effects, but they don't seem to work on skeletons."
"There are also 4 detoxifying fruits, 5 calming herbs, and 3 filling fruits."
These are all ordinary grade materials, but their values are very different. The first three are far inferior to the red blood fruit, but the value of the latter's full fruit is higher than the red blood fruit.
"Full Fruit (Normal): A training material that can slightly increase the energy of the troops."
Although it is slightly, the Filling Fruit is mostly used by professional-level troops. Mu Yuan estimates that it can bring a considerable improvement to the endurance of the dead bones.
Red blood fruit is also a cultivation material, but its properties are not incompatible with skeletons, but not at all.
"As for the soul sand, we will give priority to the supply of dead bones and two skeleton soldiers. The supply of other small skeletons can only be temporarily cut off, and the money is still not enough."
"With Death Bone's talent and hard work, it will be able to reach level four tomorrow - it can almost be said to be the middle stage of apprenticeship."
It is already one step closer to reaching the ninth-level apprenticeship and reaching the professional level.
The future is promising.
No, we can expect it now.
All diligence and efforts will not be in vain, and the evolutionary point will return true glory.
"It's time to show your strength, evolution point."
Now, there are 15 skeletons in the territory, and one unit of evolution points can be produced in about 4 hours. He also led the dead bones and other skeletons to explore, fight, and kill randomly, which also accelerated this process.
The evolution points are already satisfied.
It's time to show your true power.
"Evolution point: 5.23"
"Dead Bones, step forward, don't let down this power, continue to carry forward and work hard, I hope you will one day become the real... Skeleton Emperor."
Mu Yuan described it: the image of the skeleton emperor sitting alone on the emperor's coffin, with his back to all living beings, fishing alone for eternity.
The Skeleton Emperor?
The young dead bone was filled with yearning. It took a few steps forward and placed its fist in front of its heart to make an oath.
The armor on its body was scratched and stained with solidified and dried blood, and the standard sword it was equipped with also had a slightly curled edge... These were all proof of its merits from countless battles in the past two days.
It is already a battle-hardened skeleton.
The next moment, the great invisible power of the warm miracle dropped, and the entire skeleton of the Dead Bones turned into light again. In the dazzling white light, the body shape of the Dead Bones skeleton soldier began to change.
The armor became more ferocious and mighty, and the aura became more terrifying.
"Ding!"
"Reminder: Your unit 'Skeleton Soldier' has been affected by the miraculous power and has transformed into a 'Skeleton Warrior'."
