Dead Bone is not a self-pitying Skeleton.
If the battle method combining these two skills isn’t robust enough, then I myself will find a way to improve it so that it can be.
Mu Yuan was quite satisfied with the destructive power of this strike.
He has never seen a professional soldier going all out, but, he reasoned, even a professional super power person would suffer from Dead Bone’s attack, wouldn’t they?
A highly proficient Cleave, coupled with a highly proficient Charge, could indeed bring about a miracle when used together.
Of course, the consumption of this attack is higher than usual.
Not only did the two techniques combine, but Dead Bone even increased the energy output of the skills.
“Ordinary Rare Rank troops, even if they possess skills, can only use them in a conventional way, but once they awaken their Spiritual Wisdom, they can gradually explore higher-level uses of a skill.”
“For instance, increasing energy output when using a skill.”
This isn’t an easy thing to do.
Skills are like pre-set degree models; a single change could lead to the breakdown of the system. To enhance the energy output of a skill, the user needs to explore and find a balance point on his own.
And Dead Bone not only enhanced energy output but also combined two skills.
The difficulty is more than simply doubled.
At this stage, few troops can do this, but there are many veteran players who have used the Heritage Stone who can figure out tricks like energy output and skill combinations.
After all, a player is essentially an awakened troop with self-awareness. They have references, can spend money to get advice from super powers, and with years of practice, it’s quite reasonable for them to learn these techniques.
As for Dead Bone, it did have the majesty of a great emperor. It just felt reasonable that it had figured out these tricks in just a few days…
Damn it!
Mu Yuan was greatly shocked, while also applauding his own training ability.
Would Dead Bone have made it this far without his encouragement as the Great Lord and the expenditure of treasures?
At most, it would have made it halfway.
Ahem,
Of course, in these days, Dead Bone has also consumed a lot of resources. It ate over ten Filling Fruits, which made Duo Lai on the side cry from envy.
But because of these Filling Fruits, Dead Bone’s energy reserves have increased a lot compared to before.
Now, it can unleash the Cleave skill eight times in a row before its energy is depleted.
It’s no longer a three-hit-wonder.
However,
If it combines Cleave with Charge, increasing energy output, then… it seems that Dead Bone only has the power for two strikes.
That’s still too short.
But whether it’s short or not, Dead Bone doesn’t care. It only cares about whether it’s steady.
Again, Dead Bone takes out the Shaman Staff and starts to use the Fireball Technique.
The Fireball Technique is so simple that, of course, it can use it as soon as it gets it. The incantation time before casting is much shorter than that of the Goblin Shaman.
But regardless of how short it is, it still needs to chant.
The speed of the fireball isn’t fast enough. Although the power is sufficient, Dead Bone doubts its lethality.
This move is also not steady.
So how can it be foolproof? It asks the steady tutor, Lord Shepherd, for advice.
Mu Yuan:
Your steadiness is beyond mine. I can’t teach, really can’t teach.
Mu Yuan could only keep searching in his memory bank and, combining it with his rich experience in reading thousands of online novels, he finally compiled…no, he finally summarized some suggestions as references.
He told Dead Bone about them.
Dead Bone seemed to have an epiphany.
Mu Yuan wiped his sweat, feeling as if he had finally got through this. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Dead Bone, will you really comprehend something from this?
Dead Bone has always been reliable in terms of reliability. Mu Yuan doesn’t think Dead Bone can come up with anything, but he isn’t worried about it getting on the wrong path either.
Most of the time, Dead Bone was still devoting himself to the practice of absorbing Soul Sand.
Meanwhile, Mu Yuan kept patrolling his territory, tirelessly, over and over again.
Every once in a while, a particular troop would bask in the glow of evolution.
Under this miracle light, Bone Two evolved into the second Skeleton Warrior in the territory.
“Now, with 2 Skeleton Warriors and 12 Skeleton Soldiers in the territory, even a frontal assault could annihilate the goblins who we previously fought.”
“Next, should I further evolve more Skeleton Soldiers, promote Bone Three to a warrior, or perhaps gather resources to upgrade Dead Bone to the next stage?”
“Let’s see and play it by ear.”
Compared to the Skeleton Series, we have fewer slimes, but after nearly half a day of accumulation, enough has been gathered for a unit.
Mu Yuan called over a slime that caught his eye.
And he asked Duo Lai to come over and watch.
With big, doofy eyes, Duo Lai watched as a small slime, basked in a white glow, began to swell, growing to a size as large as him.
“X(°A°|||) Scary!”
He backed up a few steps, but soon he couldn’t hold himself back and shuffled forward, circling his enlarged brethren.
“How about it, did you suddenly learn something, or come up with some insights?”
“Goojy?”
What insights? Goojy? It’s just a slime, goojy.
Mu Yuan fell silent.
He shouldn’t have expected much from a slime, Duo Lai is even dumber than Bone Two! He’d hoped that by observing the evolution process, Duo Lai could fill the gaps in his skill set.
This would sound a bit outrageous, but if it were Dead Bone, it might not be impossible.
But with Duo Lai, it seems too optimistic yet.
After dismissing the hapless Duo Lai, Mu Yuan looked at the typical slime in front of him.
“Notice: Your troop ‘Slime’ has been bathed in the Miracle Light, and it has evolved into the ‘Big Slime’.”
“Notice: Big Slime has acquired the ‘Leap’ skill.”
“Leap: Unleashes several times more leaping power in an instant, causing massive impact damage to enemies by leaping high and then falling.”
“This skill, coupled with the Big Slime’s weight, is quite good.”
“That’s a heavy squat to bear for general monsters… It’s a pity Duo Lai didn’t have this skill.”
Duo Lai still has potential.
But maybe in a couple of days, we can try again. Let’s see what changes when Duo Lai evolves to the next stage.”
The next day,
Mu Yuan studied the map, looking at the vast dark areas outside, he began to plan the most efficient scouting paths.
Times are changing.
Before, they could only explore by foot, which was not only slow, but also delicate. He feared bumping into a powerful monster and getting wiped out in an instant.
This was not him being overly cautious, but a genuine precaution. There were indeed such cases.
The player guidebook “18 Tips for Beginners” mentioned a case three years ago, where a successful “whale” player had already accumulated several Rare Level troops before even starting the Novice Trial.
Perhaps because of his smooth development or overly self-confident, the “whale” beginner swept through the monsters with his troops. One day, he finally met his match.
He encountered a wandering Black Knight.
The Black Knight slaughtered the “whale” beginner’s troops as if chopping vegetables, and finally, in the eyes of the startled newcomer, beheaded his game character.
To this day, the grass on the grave of this newcomer, who made it into the guidebook, has been mowed over and over.
This was definitely an accident, but it was also because this new player was a bit reckless.
As a player, any bit of recklessness is not allowed.
Mu Yuan took this to heart. Of course, there’s no need to tell this to Dead Bone. He’s already cautious enough.
“Normal exploration is difficult, but from today onwards, a new era of exploration has begun in our territory.”
“Battle Falcon, show me your limits.”
A large bird spread its wings and took off, circled twice above the territory, and then flew straight into the dense foggy area outside the village.
The era of aerial reconnaissance has begun..
