Atfield's suggestion is a good one, much better than retrofitting Skeleton Archers through logistical means.
If the skeleton archers are equipped with special arrows such as wolf fang arrows and armor-piercing arrows, the lethality will be increased, but the cost will be high.
The consumption of materials is secondary, mainly labor, which will occupy a considerable amount of daily working time for the few blacksmiths in the territory.
Transforming bone arrows is essentially a change in the skeleton archer's own ability, and it is a once and for all method.
Chu Xin just proposed an idea and provided support without saying a word, which won Atfield's great favor.
This lord is indeed very different from those people he has met in the past. Working for him, not only will he not be prejudiced or guarded, but he will also receive great support.
Of course, this is also related to the actual situation.
A normal human lord would raise a large group of undead and be able to easily command a large group of undead. Chu Xin had a natural advantage in this regard.
Atfield didn't think so much. He liked this kind of employment relationship very much. Next, he was more willing to use his true skills to do every job well.
After a brief absence, Atfield came back to his senses and looked into the distance with a little more expectation in his eyes.
I knew early on from Chu Xin that the destination of this trip was an ancient ruins of the undead.
"Lord, what is that undead ruins about?" Atfield asked curiously.
He came to the Dark Land not only because of the pressure, but also because he hoped to find some opportunities here, such as ruins.
Unexpectedly, just after arriving in the territory, I encountered such a huge surprise.
Regarding this undead relic, Atfield actually had some speculation in his heart. It should be the product of a necromancer with a similar life experience to himself who came to the dark land.
On most continents, the Necromancer is indeed a very embarrassing profession. As a living being, he cannot stay in the world of the undead for long, and as an evil mage who studies corpses and souls, he is disliked by many people.
Chu Xin's attention was obviously elsewhere. When he heard the words, he looked at Atfield, smiled and said: "I heard about it too, and I just happened to stop by to take a look this time."
While talking, the team moved quickly, and the poor grass ball shouldered everything alone.
The magic pattern mecha needs to be on standby, and the same goes for the lazy Chu Xin and Bingmeng being dragged along by it.
Atfield walked slowly and naturally could not fall down. Even the iron scales hung on it and fell asleep.
Faced with Cao Tuan's complaints, Chu Xin promised him a big meal, and then he became energetic.
Bingmeng was actually not very interested in exploring the ruins, but it was such a long distance and she definitely didn't want to run all the way back by herself, so she simply followed her and took advantage of Cao Tuan's car.
During the march, Chu Xin controlled the golden villain and arrived at the ruins of the crazy lich's laboratory one step ahead.
Judging from the situation shown on the map, this ruins is relatively intact in appearance, and it seems that it has not encountered much exploration by outsiders.
There are many dead bones scattered in front of the door, not from the explorers, but from the undead guards who once guarded here.
They had completely lost their souls and their soul fire was extinguished, so the approach of the golden villain did not revive them.
The undead are not a true perpetual motion machine. Their existence still consumes the power of the soul fire. If it were not for the land of the dead that contains a certain aura of death, it would be difficult for them to survive permanently.
This laboratory obviously does not look like such a place, and the demise of the undead is also reasonable.
Without spending much effort, the golden man broke open the door of the ruins and entered it.
Surprisingly, there was no curse or any attack. The entire laboratory seemed unprotected, as if it was open for anyone to enter at will.
The golden man quickly adapted to the darkness in front of him, and what he saw was a basement that was not too wide.
The entire ruins feels very simple. It is not as tall as Chu Xin expected. Instead, it feels like an ordinary underground room.
Lich? laboratory? remains?
The scene in front of me obviously has nothing to do with these words. There doesn't seem to be any valuable items inside. There are only some decayed objects covered with dust that have been placed for unknown number of years. They seem to be slightly compatible with the laboratory. relation.
Chu Xin was inevitably a little disappointed. It looked like a temporary resting place for the lich, not a laboratory.
But it's too late now. The team is already only more than ten kilometers away from arriving. We simply came to take a look to arouse Atfield's interest. If he didn't come to take a look in person, he would definitely not give up.
Perhaps Atfield, the undead scholar, might be able to see something different?
In the real world, the group arrived quickly.
Chu Xin looked at the ruins of the laboratory half-hidden underground in front of her with no interest. The golden man searched inside without giving up for several times, but found nothing.
He originally thought it was a relic that required remote teleportation like the barbarian tomb, but after searching, he could not find any trace of the teleportation circle.
"Crazy Lich, turned out to be a crazy Lich!" Atfield's trembling voice suddenly came.
He pointed to an inconspicuous dim mark on the door at the entrance to the ruins, and was so excited that he could hardly speak.
Chu Xin had a strange look on his face. He followed Atfield's line of sight and finally saw a gold coin-sized figure. He could vaguely see a skull burning with soul fire.
For some reason, Chu Xin always felt that the skull was filled with a strange and extremely uncomfortable aura, but she couldn't place it.
"Crazy Lich? Have you heard of him?" Chu Xin was a little surprised. Could it be that this poor lich who lives in a basement of more than 100 square meters is quite famous?
Atfield took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Crazy Lich Sogg is a quite famous genius in the history of the undead."
"At first glance, he and I were essentially human beings. He was originally a necromancer. Later, he transformed himself into a lich."
"Back then, it was said that in order to study the undead forms of angels, he sneaked into the Holy Spirit Continent and hunted nearly a thousand angels. Even several nine-star battle angels died."
"Because of his crazy research and behavior, he is recognized by many forces as the Crazy Lich."
As he spoke, Atfield looked reverent, clearly full of yearning and admiration for this senior.
Chu Xin clicked his tongue. This guy was really crazy. It was simply unbelievable that an undead would go into the hometown of his sworn enemy to collect research materials.
But for such a legendary figure, this is what the laboratory is like?
Chu Xin thought it was a little impossible, but the result of the golden villain's exploration was here, maybe it was just a place to stay!
He quickly put away the expression on his face, shook his head, and said: "Look, this is the advantage of not having power. Although the Crazy Lich is very powerful, it still has to go into dangerous places to collect test materials. Look again Look, if you follow me, you don't have such worries at all. I can get you any materials you need directly. As long as you continue to help my territory grow in strength, angels don't matter."
When it comes to drawing big cakes, Chu Xin still has a way.
Atfield was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.
While talking, Chu Xin went to push the door open.
Atfield's voice rose sharply: "Wait a minute!"
But it was already too late. Chu Xin had already pushed the door open. Atfield opened his mouth, paused his original words, and changed his words: "Liches are mostly good at curses, so be careful about the curse marks they leave."
"Yeah." Chu Xin nodded to express understanding.
In fact, if the golden villain hadn't already explored the road ahead, he wouldn't be so reckless.
The door was pushed open easily. Atfield was a little dazed, but quickly recovered and followed Chu Xin to look inside.
What you see at first glance is not much different from what the golden man is exploring. It is just a small laboratory.
It was very messy inside, with some items that didn't look very valuable scattered everywhere, and it was very dilapidated.
"Are you sure this is the place where the crazy lich belongs?" Chu Xin looked at the things in the laboratory with some doubts. This must be too poor.
No matter how you look at it, this place doesn't look like a good place to do experiments. Even the people living here are quite uncomfortable. After all, they are people who can hunt angels. There is no reason to be so unqualified!
Atfield frowned and said: "The mark outside should be correct, it doesn't make sense."
Then, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he clapped his hands and said, "By the way, lichs generally have the ability to open up space. You can look for it to see if there is a space entrance here."
Chu Xin scratched his head. Atfield's analysis did make sense, but he really didn't find it.
But the map marked this place as the laboratory of the mad lich, and it was also a ruin. There was no reason for it to be so crude. With this mentality, Chu Xin called on everyone to search again.
Compared to him and Atfield, Cao Tuan and Bing Meng lacked interest, and they were not interested at all in the crazy lich.
If Chu Xin hadn't requested it, they wouldn't have even bothered to enter the laboratory door.
The ash in the laboratory was so thick that it covered nearly an inch on the ground, almost burying your feet, which greatly affected the search.
Bingmeng summoned the water and washed the entire laboratory. There were no experimental materials or anything here, so she could just wash it without fear of destroying any valuable materials.
After several rinses, the laboratory was much cleaner and tidier.
This time, I finally found a weird place on the deep wall.
There is a huge skull carved here, somewhat similar to the one on the door, but larger and more vivid.
With the help of Black Castle's exploration, Chu Xin determined that this mark corresponded to the entrance to the space created by the mad lich.
In fact, the Mad Lich didn't cover it up at all. It was really because it was so old and the whole house had accumulated so much dust that it couldn't be seen at all.
The golden man's previous search was not too careful, and he naturally did not notice the details under the dust on the wall. Naturally, the black castle was unable to detect the relevant situation.
Judging from the feedback from Black Castle, this entrance is still effective, otherwise after the internal space collapses, the entrance will also collapse.
I just don’t know how much space is left inside after so many years that has not been eroded by the void, and how much of the things inside are still left.
Atfield converted the magic power into undead energy and input it into it. Soon, the icon rotated and emitted waves of obscure fluctuations.
As the magic power continued to fill, the soul fire on the skull gradually burned. Finally, it suddenly opened its mouth, and a huge black vortex appeared.
Chu Xin stopped looking excited, stood up and was about to jump into Atfield, who summoned several gray goblins and drove them in.
At the same time, the golden villain also stepped into the black vortex.
"Tip, you discovered the mad lich's laboratory and gained 200 exploration points."
"Tip, when the exploration degree reaches above 50%, you will get an important reminder."
The golden villain seemed to have used a teleportation circle. The surrounding scene was distorted and appeared in a new place.
The map was passively closed, and the golden villain entered the copy mode. Chu Xin could clearly see the golden villain's vision.
The sky was gray, gray-white skeletons were everywhere, and the space was filled with a strong aura of death.
Obviously, this space of the Mad Lich is a place similar to the world of the dead.
In the distance, there are mountains, rivers and forests just like the normal world, but they are all filled with rich black.
Of course, there are more undead creatures. On the plain where the golden villain is now, there are a large number of strange undead creatures wandering around.
These undead creatures immediately started commotion after the golden villain appeared, huddled together, and like a flood of gray-white bones, they rushed towards this side boundlessly.
The one who had the same treatment was the gray goblin who was forced to explore the road.
Chu Xin quickly explored the strength of these undead creatures. They varied in strength, but their names were all highly unified, called skeleton undead.
Judging from the introduction, they are all experimental products that failed to be transformed by the mad lich and were abandoned here.
The color of the bones of these undead skeletons seemed to be just the most ordinary white bones, but their movements were different from the ordinary swaying skeletons that Chu Xin usually saw. They looked very stable even when running and jumping.
Chu Xin did not rush to let the golden villain fight with them, but controlled the golden villain to retreat into the shrinking space entrance behind him.
The view displayed on the map changes, and the golden villain returns from the dungeon mode to the normal mode. It seems that this place does not belong to the kind of dangerous area that can be entered or not. As long as the space entrance is still there, you can come out at any time.
However, the maintenance of the space entrance requires sufficient energy. If it is insufficient, Chu Xin will not be able to open it on that side after it is closed.
The skeletal undead were all attracted to the entrance. This is an unchangeable fact. It seems that exploring the experimental space of the mad lich requires clearing it step by step.
