Volume One: Struggling in the Wasteland of Dry Bones Chapter Five: Withered Forest

After struggling on the dirty Dry Bone Plain for a full 18 days, Andre looked at the five neat giant axe skeleton servants and opened his jaw bone.

It's not easy to get up early and stay up late.

In addition to these five followers, there are more than 50 skeletons that have been destroyed by Andre who resisted the call!

Through practice, Andre found that among the skeleton series, the giant axe skeleton is the easiest to call, and other skeletons such as the skeleton knife and axe handler, skeleton spearman, and skeleton archer are all stubborn and will not "submit" no matter how much mana Andre uses.

Of course, Andre is not without trouble with zombies, because even a zero-level zombie's soul fire is at least equal to that of a first-level skeleton.

This innate rank gap is the same as when a hundred zero-level zombies encounter a zero-level black knight, they can only be slaughtered. Although everyone can be promoted to level 40, there is no comparability between the degree of ability increase after different types of undead creatures are promoted.

However, just like the food chain on Earth, the higher the level of undead, the fewer they are. If low-level undead fight to the death with a sea of people, it is not impossible to kill high-level undead. But just like a group of sheep would not dare to attack a lion, low-level undead basically have no possibility of attacking high-level undead.

So Andre, who was excited, took five servants and went to find the zombie who had half his face corroded last time, wanting to regain the face he lost last time.

But in exchange, he could only lose his armor again - skeletons are simply not the opponents of zombies. Fortunately, the zombie's pursuit speed is so slow that Andre is very happy.

Andre, who lost his temper, could only temporarily give up the idea of attacking zombies, and spent a night repairing the five skeletons, changing the hunting target to other skeletons.

"Set off -" Andre imitated the gestures of those leaders and waved his hand heavily.

It's a pity that Andre is not only a bit shabby in the number of troops, but also the first five skeletons to be subdued by Dagama looked at him, and the other several felt Andre's consciousness and ran away in a scattered line.

"A bunch of low abilities! Idiots!" Andre was so angry that the soul fire in his skull cavity was ups and downs.

Cursing is cursing, after cursing, Andre can only issue orders one by one, and it's not easy to line up five skeletons and himself into a 3-2 formation. Andre is naturally the one who shrinks in the back.

Skeletons are useless when hunting zombies, but they immediately become vigorous when facing the same series of skeletons. Five bone axes are flying up and down, and countless single and second-level skeletons are split on the way.

Andre is still a bit strange to this point. The number of undead creatures on the Dry Bone Plain has increased after the beginning, and they can be seen from time to time, wandering aimlessly. When he encounters zombies, Andre naturally hides, and when he encounters newborn skeletons, it can only be said that the other party is unfortunate.

After killing skeletons and robbing soul fire, Andre always has a question - are these guys born and raised naturally? Andre's question is stuck in his stomach, and he can't find anyone to ask.

For the treatment of the harvested soul fire, it is naturally Andre who takes the lion's share, and what Andre doesn't like is the five skeleton servants who take turns to enjoy.

Even so, after wandering around the Dry Bone Plain for more than half a month, Andre's five henchmen have all been promoted to a level. Andre's soul fire eats the most, but the effect is the weakest. The soul fire he devours is immediately decomposed into the most basic energy by the black and red Yin-Yang fish in the center of his soul fire. Most of it is absorbed by the light-eating Yin-Yang fish, and Andre can only get a small part.

Andre's only progress so far is that his mana can support two more bone regenerations, or five undead controls.

Thinking of the encounter in the Skeleton Mage Temple last time, Andre is a bit panicked - if he reaches level 10 and he can't find a gift that satisfies the God of Death Hades...

Andre scratched his head in distress, but fortunately, according to his current upgrade speed, although it is faster than the average of 500 years for the original skeleton mage to reach level 10, it is limited.

Although the five skeleton servants have been promoted, they are still fearless. They don't understand at all that if Andre is destroyed, they are also dead.

Anyway, there is still a lot of time, this problem will be solved slowly... Andre, who can't think of a solution, simply doesn't think about it. Seeing that the crimson moon has fallen, he got up from the temporary campsite and called the five strong and sturdy skeletons to start the new day's hunt.

Not far northwest of Andre's campsite is a withered and dark forest. There are many low-level skeleton soldiers wandering on the edge of the forest. With five second-level skeletons in his possession, Andre, who found this forest yesterday evening, has already doomed these skeletons to destruction.

It is a complete massacre to use second-level skeletons to bully first-level skeletons. After controlling the five skeletons to attack and kill the only third-level skeleton and a few second-level skeletons nearby, and taking these higher-level soul fires for nourishment, Andre lost interest in continuing to control.

He ordered the skeleton servants to attack on their own, and Andre lazily climbed to the top of the head of a huge beast skeleton whose soul fire had been extinguished for a long time, watching his subordinates rob and kill, and those first-level small skeletons were almost wiped out.

After sitting for a while, Andre suddenly felt a move in his heart, and he jumped down from the huge beast skeleton like his butt was on fire, turned to the front of the rugged huge beast skeleton, and almost scared his soul out of his body.

This extinguished soul fire of the huge beast skeleton is clearly a skeleton war elephant!

According to the memory, the skeleton war elephant is a powerful skeleton beast that can face a dozen death knights head-on. Except for the high-level undead, almost no one would provoke them, but the current situation is that there are seven skeleton war elephants lying here in a row!

Andre checked each one, and his legs started to tremble - there was a fist-sized hole in the center of the skull of each skeleton war elephant, entering from the forehead and exiting from the back of the brain... without exception.

When the skeleton war elephants died, they were all facing the dark withered forest, which proves that the powerful existence that attacked them is in the forest...

Andre didn't say a word, and called the skeleton servants who were killing happily to turn around and run, in his eyes, the dark withered forest has completely transformed into a terrifying death trap, where he dares to stay.

He ran until he couldn't see the withered forest anymore, and then Andre stopped. Far away from the danger, Andre was curious - what is in the withered forest?

The idea of going to explore the withered forest kept rising uncontrollably, and Andre felt that there must be something good in the withered forest.

He quickly suppressed the idea that might kill himself, and got up again with the skeleton servants to move forward. No matter what is in the withered forest, he must wait until his strength is enhanced.

If it is really a trap, he is not enough to see ten thousand now.
