Chapter 11: Resurrection of the Dead
It took another whole day for Lin Yi to finally clear the entire forest.
Except for a few Warcraft monsters that escaped, all the others died at Lin Yi's hands.
A total of more than 6,000 energy crystals were harvested.
"This harvest is not as good as yesterday!"
He wiped out the vampire mosquito swarm yesterday.
Just from the bodies of those vampire mosquitoes, he harvested thousands of energy crystals.
After all, the area of this forest is not large and it is difficult to accommodate more Warcraft monsters. Apart from the vampire mosquito swarms, he has not found any other large-scale Warcraft monster territories, so today's harvest is less.
"We need to hunt somewhere else tomorrow."
"Temporarily determine the area of the City Lord's Mansion."
The City Lord's Mansion is located northwest of the inner city ruins.
Lin Yi chose the City Lord's Mansion not mainly because of the number of Warcraft monsters there, but because the treasure house of the Elf Empire was located there.
At the same time, that area was once the most prosperous area in the entire ancient city ruins.
Although thousands of years have passed and most things have decayed and disappeared with the passage of time, Lin Yi still wants to try his luck.
What if the goddess of luck favors you and you come across a treasure that has escaped the punishment of time?
…
Lin Yi walked out of the woods.
It was getting dark and night was approaching.
He gave up the idea of continuing hunting and headed towards the territory.
This place is several kilometers away from the territory, and large numbers of undead creatures will appear at night.
He doesn't think he should be so bold and skilled.
Even if you want to hunt at night, you have to hunt in the surrounding areas of the territory.
On the way back, Lin Yi suddenly heard the sound of fighting.
I thought I had encountered a group of elves that were hunting, but when I went to take a look, I discovered that the two sides fighting were actually the undead and demonic monsters.
There were dozens of undead knights surrounding a group of giant swamp rats.
There are hundreds of giant swamp rats, more than ten times the number of Undead Knights.
However, it was the rats that were slaughtered.
Those undead knights are all high-level undead.
Their lowest level is level seven, and one has even reached level nine.
A charge by the Undead Knights could kill a large number of swamp rats. Some swamp rats wanted to break out, but they were not as fast as the knights and soon fell in a pool of blood.
In less than a few minutes, the battle was declared over.
Dozens of undead knights, no casualties.
The rats were completely wiped out.
After dealing with the rats, the Undead Knights quickly went away and disappeared into the dim ruins.
Shortly after the Undead Knights left, another Undead creature holding a bone staff and wearing a tattered robe appeared. It waved the bone staff in its hand, releasing a faint green light that enveloped the battlefield.
In just a few seconds, the hundreds of dead swamp rats on the ground stood up again.
But what is different from before is...
At this time, some of them have turned into skeletons.
Some turned into rotten corpses.
They were transformed into undead creatures! "Necromancer!"
Lin Yi's expression turned a little serious.
In the past two nights, he and his elven soldiers killed a large number of undead creatures, but he had never encountered high-level undead knights or similar undead magicians.
What we hunted before were just ordinary undead.
Most are low level, with very few being intermediate level.
But now, dozens of high-level undead appeared at once.
"It must be because of the death of the old tree that the evil and dark forces beneath the ruins can no longer be suppressed, so powerful undead spirits are gradually born."
"I have to speed up the development of the territory."
"We can't let these undead creatures get ahead of us."
"Otherwise, let alone clearing the ruins of the entire ancient city, the undead creatures in the inner city alone are enough to make me suffer."
Who knows if in a while, king-level or even extraordinary-level undead creatures will be born in the inner city?
In front of the old tree, undead of this level are nothing.
But for Lin Yi now, that is a big trouble.
Not far away, the necromancer was preparing to leave with hundreds of resurrected undead rats. Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately threw a flaming spear over.
Spears of fire pierced through space.
In an instant, the necromancer who was unable to dodge was nailed to the ruins of the building behind.
The blue flames swept across the whole body.
Soon the necromancer was burned to ashes.
As soon as the necromancer died, the giant undead rats immediately turned into headless flies and ran around in panic.
After Lin Yi killed most of them with the Fire Wall Technique and Fireball Technique, he let the scattered undead giant rats escape into the darkness.
They are all small noobs and low-level monsters, and there is no point in chasing them.
Just kill the necromancer.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This kind of undead creature poses a greater threat on the battlefield than the group of undead knights.
Because it can resurrect the dead.
As long as the soul fire of the undead creature is not completely extinguished, even if it has turned into fragments, the necromancer can use magic to combine them to form a new soul fire and then resurrect the dead undead.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Yi went straight back to his territory.
"The elf hunting teams should all be back."
"Go and see what they have harvested today."
"If there are enough energy crystals, upgrade the ancient war tree and unlock more powerful elf soldiers!"
…
Shortly after Lin Yi returned, the elves who went out hunting also returned one after another.
Just like yesterday, many elves were carrying bulging leather packages on their backs, but the difference was that today the packages were more numerous and larger.
As usual, I took a headcount.
No elven soldiers were killed, but a few were injured.
Upon inquiry, it was learned that they encountered a strong enemy while hunting.
Some were attacked by high-level Warcraft monsters, while others, like Lin Yi, encountered high-level undead creatures.
The latter are in the majority.
"Sure enough, my guess was correct."
"Powerful undead creatures have been revived one after another."
Lin Yi knew that the plan to upgrade the ancient war tree was urgent.
He not only needs to expand the size of the elf team, but also needs to have stronger elf troops.
For now, upgrading the Ancient of War is the only shortcut.
Soon, an elf handed over the counted spoils to Lin Yi.
"Your Majesty, today we have harvested a total of 53,749 energy crystals and 352 magic cores. In addition, a team found this in the ruins..."
As he spoke, the tall elf took out a gray-black magic book.
The magic book is made of unknown monster skin.
The overall look is very heavy.
Lin Yi took the magic book and opened it.
The purpose of magic books is mostly to record knowledge, or magic skills, medicine making experience, forging skills, etc. With the help of magic books, practitioners can understand and master them faster.
Generally speaking, as long as the spiritual consciousness is connected to the magic book, the information recorded in it can be obtained.
The magic book found by the elf team records magic skills.
This is exactly what Lin Yi urgently needs now.
Unfortunately, most of the pages in the book were eaten by insects, and many of them were even missing half. The magic circle used to establish a spiritual connection was also destroyed and almost useless.
“What a pity.”
Lin Yi was just about to return the magic book to the elf and let him take it and do with it as he pleased.
The system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[The host can consume energy crystals to repair damaged magic books. ]
[Not just magic books, most damaged items can be repaired at the cost of consuming energy crystals. The higher the level of the item, the greater the cost.]
