There was a huge difference between the high-level skeleton soldiers and the lower ones.
They were not only stronger and taller.
They still got what Francis neededblack crystals in their brain.
Black crystal was a necessary item for him to advance his career. Low-rank skeleton soldiers wouldn't produce a lot of black crystals. Even if he hunted one thousand skeleton soldiers, it could only improve Francis's level.
As for career advancement, it would be of little help.
However, the appearance of high-level skeleton soldiers solved Francis's dilemma.
As long as he gave the right instructions, he would hunt down the high-level skeleton soldiers.
Then got a considerable number of black crystals and successfully upgrade to mid-level skeleton warriors.
The benefits of reaching higher levels were that he could possess skills.
He would get one more way to save his life when confronted with the enemy.
"Mouse, go and investigate how many high-level skeleton soldiers are nearby!" Francis urged Mouse under his feet to work.
However, he held Francis's legs and trembled.
With a closer look, he found that the skeleton underlings such as Garbage and Smart also bypassed the high-level skeleton soldier.
They just refused to go near the high-level skeleton soldier.
Several unconscious skeleton soldiers walked to the side of the high-level skeleton soldier.
They were killed mercilessly by him.
Their skullcaps were crushed.
"Wow, the high-level skeleton soldiers are really powerful!" Francis took a deep breath and looked at the high-level skeleton soldier crumbing the skeleton soldiers in his way one by one.
Even if they were tall and had strong strength and good defensive power.
In front of those high-level skeleton soldiers, they had no power to fight back.
They could only helplessly watch their body ruthlessly crushed by the opponents.
"I have eight skeleton underlings at present..." Francis calculated his combat effectiveness in silence.
After reaching level 9, he enslaved another two tall and powerful skeleton underlings, asking them to hunt with Garbage and other underlings.
"If we fight one-on-one, no underling is a match for the high-level skeleton soldiers."
Francis was comparing their difference.
Although Fast and Mouse got high speed, they were not the opponent of the other side.
In the face of absolute power, it was unnecessary to move.
However, even though Francis knew the gap clearly, he still didn't want to let the high-level skeleton soldier go in vain.
He had hunted in the skeleton army for so long.
Uneasily seeing the hope of advancing his career, how could he give up without a struggle?
"I don't know much about the high-level skeletons. Let's observe them for a while." Francis urged Mouse to go to work while he followed the high-level skeleton in the army.
He observed every move of the high-level skeleton.
"They must have skills, but I don't know what they exactly are and what effect they will have."
When Garbage upgraded, he had awakened his skill.
There was no reason that high-level skeletons did not have.
They were called high-level skeletons, which meant that not only did their strength, speed and defense surpass a large part of their peers, but also that they had the skills that low-level skeletons did not have.
Facing the provocation of the low-level skeleton soldiers, the high-level skeletons could completely crush it.
Just like what he saw.
"Hurry up, Mouse!"
Francis carried the trembling Mouse and threw him into the skeleton army.
Feeling Francis's insistence, Mouse had no choice but to run forward.
"It seems that the suppression of high-level skeletons on the low-level skeletons is carved in the nature of low-level skeletons. Even if Mouse has become my subordinate, he will still be afraid."
Francis thought.
Soon, the message from Mouse was sent back.
Within a radius of at least one hundred meters, there was only this high-level skeleton, and there was no high-level skeleton team.
Francis guessed that he must have lost.
He entered the team of low-level skeleton soldiers by mistake.
"Garbage, let's go hunting!"
After Francis gave the order to Garbage, he was stunned for a moment.
But after finding the target ahead, he cooperated with Smart, Fast, and other underlings to take action.
They cleaned up the low-level skeleton soldiers nearby intentionally and slowly approached the high-level skeleton.
Noticing that no skeleton soldiers were getting in his way.
The high-level skeleton walked faster and faster and was about to rush out of the encirclement formed by Garbage and other underlings.
Without further ado, Smart took action immediately.
The leg bone in his hand smashed hard at the back of the high-level skeleton's head.
While Fast and another skeleton underling chose to attack head-on, entangled the steps of the high-level skeleton, so that Smart could succeed.
The plan was perfect, but the high-level skeleton was too powerful.
He raised his hand and fanned Fast out.
The other underling ended up in a more miserable situation. He was directly torn apart by him around the waist and thrown on the ground.
While the high-level skeleton was hunting other underlings, Smart's leg bone smashed smoothly on the head of the high-level skeleton.
His body shook in place, but he quickly stood firm and looked back at Smart.
Smart stepped back immediately, trying to keep a distance.
Mouse and Garbage attacked from both sides respectively, holding the leg bones in their hands, aiming at the thighs of the high-level skeleton.
As long as he fell, the skeleton underlings would swarm up.
To took him apart.
Francis followed Garbage and began to attack.
He didn't think his underlings could kill the high-level skeleton.
He had to do it by himself.
Before Garbage started to attack, Smart was caught by the high-level skeleton in his hand.
He was about to die.
Another underling immediately pounced on him, grabbed the arm of the high-level skeleton, and beat him with all his strength.
Mouse grabbed his leg and was about to break it.
Then, the high-level skeleton opened his mouth and spurted a ball of spiritual fire.
He directly burned the underling in front of him to death.
"How could this be?"
Francis was shocked.
In just a few seconds, two of his underlings had lost.
Fast was not seriously injured, he stood up and approached the high-level skeleton.
The other two underlings were torn apart by him around the waist and were attacked by the ghost fire head-on, so they had already lost their fighting capacity.
Francis's eight underlings were only six left in an instant.
If he plus himself, seven warriors still kept their fighting capacity.
"We can't retreat!"
Francis understood in his heart.
If they retreated now, all of his previous efforts would be wasted!
Their biggest advantage was they got enough skeleton underlings.
If they retreated at this time, they would be caught by the high-level skeleton and be annihilated one by one!
Francis knew this better than anyone else.
The high-level skeleton's attack was so precise that he didn't care if he was hunting other skeletons of the same kind.
As long as he started to make a move, there would be no chance to survive!
Mouse and Fast attracted the attention of the high-level skeleton, while Garbage caught up with him, raising his leg bone in his hand and smashing it at the high-level skeleton.
The high-level skeleton had just received a blow of Smart.
The bone at the back of his head had been cracked.
As long as Garbage could hit the same position, he would win in one blow!
However, the high-level skeleton seemed to have noticed his weakness. He turned around continuously and missed the attack of Garbage.
He quickly got rid of the harassment of Fast and Mouse, and focus on Garbage's move.
"Squish." A loud sound was heard.
The high-level skeleton's bone weapon directly stabbed into the body of Garbage.
Luckily, it was a little out of the way.
Instead of knocking down Garbage's head, it was stuck on his shoulder blade.
The gap between his bones directly blocked the high-level skeleton's weapon, which could not be pulled out for some time.
Fast immediately followed and went to the back of the high-level skeleton, with leg bones smashing hard at the back of his head.
Moreover, Fast even broke a bone from his thigh and stabbed it hard into the head of the high-level skeleton.
The broken thigh bone with bone spur pierced through the high-level skeleton's head mercilessly, and the other end pierced out from his eye socket.
The high-level skeleton shook two times in his place and fell to the ground feebly.
Seeing this, other underlings scattered slowly to find suitable bones to improve themselves.
Especially Fast, he was in urgent need of a thigh bone to fill the gap of breaking his own thigh bone just now.
However, the other two underlings won't be so lucky.
The skeleton warriors, who were attacked by the ghost fire, one was directly disappeared, the other one was crawling on the ground, looking for suitable bones.
Francis immediately stepped forward and swallowed the ghost fire of the high-level skeleton.
Experience +20 immediately, upgrade!
At this time, he successfully passed level 10 and obtained his first skill: Horizontal Slash!
It's not just that, the black crystals in the high-level skeleton's head were also forcefully taken down by Francis, he held it in his hands and looked at it carefully.
It was a crystal with black light.
It contained shocking energy, which attracted Francis to crush it and devour it.
