Chapter 187: Did We Come at a Bad Time?

It could forcefully fight for the control of an undead unit with the enemy. This process would last for about 3 to 15 seconds, depending on the intensity of the fight. After 15 seconds, even if the two sides were still in a stalemate, the instigation would be considered a failure.
However, the most annoying part of this spell was that there was almost no loss after failure. Since the battlefield for control was on someone else’s undead, the person who actively cast it would not even suffer from the common punishment of losing focus and weakening spirit.
Once it succeeded, the undead who had been instigated to defect would be treated as a ” temporary unit ” and directly join the battle.
Although temporary units could not self-destruct, when the two armies were fighting, the damage caused by a sudden betrayal in the formation was enough.
However, even though it seemed like a good idea to continuously cast instigation, the effect wasn’t that great.
The continuous use of Instigation will have a significant diminishing effect.
In layman’s terms, the second unit that had been instigated to defect would often require a higher judgment value to successfully pry it away from the original owner, and the third unit would be even more difficult.
Generally, when the seventh or eighth undead was instigated, the effect of Free Instigation would be so weak that even a Tier 1 Mage could resist it.
Therefore, it was not suitable to use it against the Undead Army. Instead, it was a godly skill against a small group of undead!
What was even more amazing was that…
The unit that was instigated to defect was a temporary contract.
It didn’t matter if the undead was broken or became crippled.
In any case, the undead could be fired at any time. It did not take up the contract slot, did not consume mana, and at most, he would have to pay a little mental strength and negative energy. Praise the eternal Undead Girl!”
At this moment.
Matthew sincerely sang the praises of Dania’s name in his heart.
This spell was too important. He did not expect to be able to instigate a legendary unit to rebel, but there was still a great chance of getting a few Bone Dragons to turn on their owners!
From what Xiuyi said, there seem to be several Bone Dragons working under Blinken!”
Matthew’s eyes flashed with a beautiful longing.
However, he was soon freed from his thoughts.
Matthew spent nearly five minutes before he finally explained to Bobo that he wasn’t really eating sh * t. After that, Xiuyi’s voice came from outside. “Mr. Matthew? You might need to come out and take a look.”
Matthew quickly walked out.
Following Xiuyi’s guidance, he saw a figure wandering alone in the north of the camp.
“She followed us all the way.”
Xiuyi sized up Matthew and Miss Zombie with a complicated expression.
“I know. Let me solve it!”
Matthew’s heart skipped a beat.
Miss Zombie was lucky. Due to her remote location, she was not sucked away by the Heavenly Sphere of the Death. She became one of the few undead who were still wandering in the swamp.
This might be the command that Dania had given them before she left.
Matthew had not been able to deal with her before, mainly because she had already signed a contract with another necromancer. He was not confident that he could poach her from Dania.
Things were different now.
He planned to try to persuade her to defect.
So he walked over gently and greeted Miss Zombie.
“Hello, we meet again. I’m very grateful for your help that night.”
Matthew smiled.
Miss Zombie looked at him in confusion. After a moment, she suddenly bit him!
Matthew hurriedly stepped back to avoid it and then used [Instigation] on her!
[Hint: The instigation has been successful. You have obtained temporary control over the ‘Stupid Zombie’!] [You will have the right to use her for 72 hours.]
Miss Zombie immediately froze.
That simple?
Matthew was also stunned.
However, he quickly realized that no matter what Dania had done, she had little control over the undead there.
In the process of his instigation, he did not encounter any resistance at all. Perhaps this had something to do with the zombie lady’s subconscious willingness to cooperate with him.
It was just that this kind of successful rebellion had lost the pleasure of possession.
Matthew thought dully,
‘It’s a pity that Big Brother Abomination has flown away. Otherwise, it would be more interesting if I could persuade him to defect.’
After dealing with Miss Zombie.
Xiuyi walked over and said,
“When I was patrolling the surroundings of the camp just now, I used some of my methods to track the whereabouts of the Dragon Lich Cult. I found that not only was Blinken not in the rainforest, but the other Dragon Lich Cult members had also disappeared. This is obviously unreasonable.”
He analyzed seriously,
“Blinken can teleport himself, but he doesn’t have the technology to teleport many people, so I suspect that they’re hiding.”
Matthew nodded. He understood what Xiuyu meant. The Dragon Lich Sect definitely wasn’t hiding from him. They had another motive. So Matthew tried to communicate with the black banyan dream.
Very quickly. A gentle voice rang in everyone’s ears, “Undercity.”
Xiuyi revealed an enlightened expression.
“I know that there are two or three entrances to the undercity nearby. The one closest to the swamp used to be the territory of a group of black-backed gnolls, but the last time I went to check, the gnolls had already disappeared.”
“Uh, do we need to follow them?” Lumiere walked over, indicating that he was in good condition and could continue on his journey.
Matthew looked at Bobo again. The latter had already put on her armour again, and the right glove was replaced with a fire-resistant glove.
“Bombs and lightning gloves aren’t all the tricks that an Arcane Machinist can use. I still have 998 ways to kill the people of the Dragon Lich Sect..”
