  As Richard performed the necromancy.

  I saw transparent spirits being summoned out from the scattered corpses around.

  Looking at the many delicious foods, the Soul-Eating Demon Spider eggs became excited instantly, and the first thing they aimed at was the tall steel-forked fishman spirit. It seemed that Richard could even imagine the image of the Soul-Eating Demon Spider drooling over the food.

  As an invisible ripple spread out from the Soul-Eating Demon Spider egg to the surroundings, a powerful suction force came from it.

  The spirits of ordinary fishmen fell from the air like dumplings and were all sucked into the white eggs.

  Among them, the tall steel-forked fishman struggled the most violently, and finally managed to hold on to avoid being sucked in. Then, even Jenna's spirit was trying its best to resist, and her lifelike little face was full of fear!

  But as the suction from the Soul Devouring Demon Spider eggs became stronger and stronger, the spirits of the three double-bladed fishmen could not resist first and were swallowed up one after another.

  Next came the spirits of the short girl Brandi and the tall and thin boy Mijat.

  Finally, as the spirits of Jenna, the special double-blade fishman, and the tall steel-forked fishman were devoured, the Soul-Eating Demon Spider eggs emitted a desire to fall into a dormant state and evolve.

  Richard was immediately overjoyed. Just as he expected, the Soul-Eating Demon Spider eggs no longer needed to be fed after they were full and fell asleep. Instead, they could hatch at any time.

  It could be a few days later, or a few hours later, but never long.

  Speaking of the Soul-Eating Spider, Richard had already searched for relevant information about the Blood Pact in the library.

  Currently, according to what is said in the books, before the other party of the contract is officially hatched, initial communication can be carried out at the frequency of one drop of essence and blood per month.

  Now, Richard has initially achieved a certain degree of intimacy with the Soul-Eating Spider. As long as Richard signs the blood oath contract immediately after the Soul-Eating Spider is officially hatched, it will be done.

  Of course, the blood oath contract is not the highest level of contract.

  The highest level of contract is the life contract, and the content is roughly that if one of the two parties to the contract dies, the other party will also die directly. If there is any secret technique, the life span will at least be greatly reduced. Therefore, wizards rarely use this kind of contract.

  Because after being promoted to a formal wizard, even if he is only a first-level wizard, he will have a lifespan of two to three hundred years. However, if his contracted creature is accidentally killed by the enemy in a battle, his lifespan will be greatly shortened or he will die directly. This is totally unacceptable for a formal wizard.

  Therefore, the next level blood oath contract has become the most commonly used contract. It only requires feeding some essence and blood to the contracted creature every once in a while, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the contracted creature.

  After collecting the Soul-Eating Demon Spider eggs, Richard and the other two left this dangerous place. Based on the feedback from Ophelia's plant perception, they continued walking for a few miles along the shallows of the underground river. There was a fork in the road that extended directly upwards, which should lead directly to the surface. This was nearly twice as fast as their plan to return the same way.

  Immediately, the three decided to take the fastest route back to the school's headquarters. Considering that Andrea had almost lost her combat effectiveness, Richard did not try to hide his strength this time and summoned two sword and shield skeletons to guard her from the front and back.

  Although the harvest this time was little, the biggest gain was knowledge, such as Jenna's previous experimental manuscripts, the old parchment scroll - the zombie transformation ritual, and the rare zero-level witchcraft undead vision scroll.

  In the wizarding world, advanced knowledge is equivalent to magic stones at any time. Sometimes, advanced knowledge is even more useful than magic stones.

  So, when Richard thought of this, he no longer felt that he was at a disadvantage.

  Moreover, Jenna's skills in making mutant stitched monsters can be said to be exclusive knowledge.

  You know, generally only after being promoted to a formal wizard will one have the spare energy to study or optimize the witchcraft and zero-level witchcraft that one has mastered, but it also takes a lot of time to adjust the witchcraft model. If it involves too big a change, even the rune structure needs to be adjusted, which makes it even more difficult.

  However, if successful, it can be sold as exclusive knowledge and make a lot of profit.

  Since the Skeleton Warrior was severely injured in the battle with the Murloc, it would take a day of recuperation in the world of the dead to fully recover. Richard did not dare to summon the Sword and Shield Skeleton that was marked with a tracking mark again for a while.

  With two sword-and-shield skeletons guarding in front and behind, the three of them had a smooth journey.

  Suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared in front and rushed towards the sword-shield skeleton guarding in front.

  "It's a petrified lizard!" Andrea shouted. Although his combat power was greatly reduced, the vision of an intermediate knight was still there.

  "No, this is an iron-jawed lizard!" Richard said calmly. As a top archer, Richard's eyesight is actually slightly better than Andrea's. He can clearly see the attacker's external outline and body features.

  Because the basilisk does not have such a wide jaw and shiny black skin.

  The iron-jawed lizard opened its bloody mouth, and its sharp steel teeth instantly bit off the skeleton soldier's thigh bone. It put it in its mouth and began to chew it. There was a crisp sound, just like when ordinary people bite cartilage, and white bone chips fell down from both sides of the iron palate.

  This scene shocked Richard greatly.

  He knew how hard the bones of the Sword and Shield Skeletons under his command were, but even so, they were still bitten off by the Iron Jaw Lizard in one bite, which showed how strong its bite force was, and it lived up to the name of Iron Jaw.  

  Thinking back to what was recorded in the Marked Crystal, the Iron Jaw Lizard possessed the physical strength of a great knight, and its iron jaw could cut gold and stone. It seemed to be true.

  Richard's reaction was also quick. He immediately took out four or five tubes of Fire Dancing Stars from his arms and counterattacked instantly.

  In the violent explosion, Richard and others retreated rapidly. Ophelia also began to quickly give birth to bloodthirsty magic vines and her plant team. Richard immediately cast a dark element shield and bone armor on himself.

  The bite force of the iron-jawed lizard in front of him was so amazing that a dark element shield might not be enough.

  A few seconds later, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the center of the explosion.

  The three of them looked closely and were shocked!

  Such a violent explosion did not cause much damage to the iron-jawed lizard. Although some of its skin was burnt, overall, the injury was obviously minor.

  "The explosion just now even injured the petrified lizard. What kind of defensive ability is this? It's too amazing!" Andrea, who was injured nearby, said in surprise.

  "This is the terrifying thing about the Iron-jawed Lizard. Its resistance to witchcraft is too strong. Ordinary first or second-level wizard apprentices are completely helpless when they encounter it. They are completely unable to break its body defense." Ophelia said solemnly.

  Compared to the petrified lizard, the iron-jawed lizard in front of them didn't have any natural witchcraft skills, but the super witchcraft resistance of its skin gave Richard and the other two a headache.

  "However, as long as it can cause damage, it will be dead!" After saying that, Richard took out a handful of Fire Dancing Stars from his arms, mixed with more than ten bags of Silver Moon Dust, and threw them directly at the rushing Iron Jaw Lizard.

  Richard might not have brought much of some other things, but he had a lot of alchemical bombs.

  Looking at the dozen or so red test tubes flying at them at once, the iron-jawed lizard, which had just suffered, was also stunned.

  As the first sound of glass breaking was heard, a series of explosions like firecrackers suddenly broke out in the shallows.

  The extremely high frequency continuous explosions of the alchemical bombs were enough to overwhelm the Iron-jawed Lizard, a monster with extremely high resistance to witchcraft. It felt dizzy and saw stars.

  Suddenly, it felt a sharp pain in its neck. It opened its eyes and saw a sword-and-shield skeleton inserting an iron sword into its jaw, which went straight through its neck and cut it hard. In an instant, dark red blood splattered everywhere like a burst water pipe.

  Immediately, the Iron Jaw Lizard felt its strength slipping away, and it used all its strength to turn its head and bite the sword and shield skeleton in half.

  However, due to the severe injuries, his movements became slow, or perhaps because the opponent moved too quickly, the Sword and Shield Skeleton dodged immediately.

  Before the Iron Jaw Lizard could turn around and run away, the next second, the Sword and Shield Skeleton rushed up again and stabbed the iron sword directly into its eye socket.

  This time, it can no longer fight back!

  Iron-jawed Lizard, dead!

  [Found that it can absorb energy, yes/no? ]

  "yes!"

  [Gained 5914 energy points.]

  Richard's face lit up with joy, it had been a long time since he had received energy points, this iron-jawed lizard was really a timely relief, it came at the right time. With this amount of energy points, he could quickly learn and improve the level-0 witchcraft undead vision and zombie transformation ritual that he was interested in.

  After collecting the raw materials from the iron-jawed lizard, Richard and the other two continued to move forward, but just as they were about to reach the fork in the road ahead.

  Richard felt something in his arms getting slightly hot. He reached out and touched it, and found that it was the palm-sized three-headed snake statue that he had obtained from the tall steel-forked fishman warrior. It looked like a living creature.

  This surprised Richard greatly. After careful observation, he found that a fork in the road ahead led to a deeper underground river. The further he moved in this direction, the more intense the heat became.

  But if Richard chose to move towards the surface, the heating would become quieter and quieter.

  This made Richard think, could it be that the large group of fishmen just now were not moving in this direction for no reason, could it be because of the guidance of this statue?

  This made Richard hesitate a little, whether to go deeper into the underground river to investigate, or return directly to the surface, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

  In a shallow area of ​​the underground river, crisscrossing traces of battle indicated that this was where Richard and Jenna from the Ring of North had fought.

  About an hour after Richard and his companions left, a young man in a gray robe with three plague bug symbols on his chest arrived here, exhausted.

  This was because of the dense network of underground rivers that extended in all directions. Although he had clear location information in his mind, it still took him a lot of effort to get there. If it were on flat ground, he would have arrived an hour earlier.
