The mages and archers on the opposite side had already crossed half of the river, and Liu Nian frantically poured magic into the demon child's corpse.
The demon child's corpse began to twist and swell, and then exploded under Liu Nian's instigation.
The explosion tore a large gap in the flat ground where the river was torn open, and the notification of experience points gained followed in my mind.
The rotting zombies and ranged units that were far from the zombie explosion were not affected by the blast wave, and they still fearlessly crossed the corpses of their companions to attack this side.
However, Liu Nian did not choose to continue the corpse explosion this time, because the corpse explosion actually affected the terrain, and the pools on both sides risked flooding the central flat area.
Thinking of the tragic fate of the summoned creature that had just fallen into the pool, Liu Nian suddenly shuddered. He had no intention of walking across the flooded flat ground.
Of course, he didn't feel sorry for the crowns and cards that had fallen into the pool.
Yeah, he's not heartbroken at all!
Even ranged attackers who can fight in melee are no match for chickens. How much pain do you expect them to hurt when they hit people with staffs and bows?
The ghoul army, now free to fight, began a second battle against them.
The humiliation of being completely crushed last time spurred them to unleash their full firepower this time. With the double reduction in defense from increased damage and the disintegrating ray, they were forced to retreat steadily and were soon divided and surrounded by the numerically superior ghouls.
With the last skeleton mage being devoured by a medium-sized ghoul, they were all eventually defeated by the ghoul army.
As the ranged units and rotting zombies fell, like a domino effect, the isolated and outnumbered Swamp Stranglers were ultimately defeated by Liu Nian's undead army.
Like the rotting slime monsters, these undead units were not targets that could be recruited by necromancy, so Liu Nian had no choice but to give up regretfully.
The good news is that Liu Nian's level increased to 22 after this battle, but the bad news is that his soul power was wasted once again.
Upgrading will not replenish the temporary soul power provided by the Death Tarot card; it will only increase its maximum soul power.
After killing these units, Liu Nian's temporary soul power was restored to 200 points. However, in order to prevent the soul power from overflowing again, Liu Nian chose to use the soul power provided by leveling up to recruit ghosts.
The humanoid creature, the Swamp Stalker, which was just killed, has units available for recruitment: five units of Wraiths/Specters.
A Yin Spirit requires 30 Soul Power Points, while a Ghost Spirit is an advanced version of a Yin Spirit and requires 50 Soul Power Points.
Although Liu Nian really wanted to complain about how this thing could recruit ghosts, no one agreed with him, so he forced himself to suppress his urge to complain.
Five living, breathing flying units were waiting to be recruited. After weighing the options, Liu Nian gritted his teeth and chose to recruit the Wraith.
It's expensive, but I hope it's worth the price!
ghost
Race: Undead
Attack power: 5-10
Defense: None
Health Points: 150
Skills: Ghostly Form, Mana Drain
Ghostly Form: 50% chance to be immune to physical attack damage, 150% chance to take elemental damage, and 200% chance to take holy attack damage.
Mana Drain: When attacking a unit with energy such as mana, chakra, or spiritual power, drain three mana points from the target each time you successfully hit them.
Looking at the Ghost's stats, its attack power and health have been increased compared to the Wraith, and it also has an additional mana drain skill.
"With the help of the Demon Child, he can be used as a mana bar destroyer," Liu Nian thought of this tactic as he looked at the almost transparent ghosts floating around the vampire.
It must be said that undead units are all designed for attrition warfare. As long as they can hold their ground, they will gradually drag the enemy units into a quagmire of supply difficulties.
They don't plan to advance for now; the ghoul army is still eating ghouls to recover their health.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Nian drank a mouthful of the blue liquid from the magic bottle. Her magic points were also greatly depleted and needed to be replenished in time.
This liquid is surprisingly sweet!
After drinking the beverage, Liu Nian felt a faint glow emanating from her body. She felt her back was no longer sore, her legs were no longer weak, and she even had more confidence when she stood up and spoke.
Unfortunately, this state only lasted for a pitiful ten seconds. After ten seconds, Liu Nian returned to her previous half-dead state.
It must be the effect of the liquid in the magic bottle. Liu Nian looked at the bottle and marveled at how only two-thirds of the liquid remained.
The system is really rigid!
Hmm, but it really does quench your thirst!
It takes 50,000 experience points to go from level 22 to level 23, and now it takes a little over 40,000 more to level up.
While I had some free time, I took stock of my cards, and I found that I had accumulated quite a few more.
If you have any items, remember to materialize them first. Just thinking about the upcoming boss battle makes Liu Nian's scalp tingle. The more items you have, the better your chances of winning.
If the minions are this difficult, the bosses will probably be even stronger.
[One bowl of Emperor's Fried Rice] (Tier 2 Supply Card)
Note: You didn't expect that, did you? I'm the one who sets the standard for chefs' skill levels.
[Chicken Stew with Mushrooms] (Tier 1 Resource Card)
Note: How about a bowl of this in the dead of winter?
These resource cards can now be inventoried one by one, with two additional item cards requiring special attention.
[Fire Fan] (Disposable Item)
Effect: Deals 30 points of fire damage to units in a straight line.
Note: This fan is suspected to be the one lost by a certain cow's wife!
[Recipe: Stir-fried Kelp with Vinegar] (Green Recipe)
Ingredients needed: pot, vinegar, kelp, salt
Effect: After eating a full meal, you will receive a food buff that increases your sanity by 2 points, lasting for 30 minutes.
This recipe comes from mud wreckers, and it's hard to believe it has anything to do with seaweed.
There were also three building materials cards, which allowed Liu Nian to add one each to his collection of wood, stone, and gemstones.
Especially gemstones, these rare minerals are very hard to find.
Now, Liu Nian has only one skeleton conversion factory left to build, which only requires five piles of wood and five piles of stone.
The rest are material cards: [Corpse Dust]*18, [Evil Flesh]*4, [Seaweed]*5
Because he has the Devilsaur recipe and the seasonings weren't discarded during the last space cleanup, he can make five servings of stir-fried kelp with vinegar using the kelp material card.
Realizing that there are four parts of the evil flesh, and counting the one obtained last time, there are now only two Primal Shadows left to repair the Abomination.
I don't know if it's because of a material shortage, but once you only get five portions of Evil Flesh, you can't get any more. Just like with Summoning Ghosts back then, the material Twisted Resentment hasn't appeared since.
If you can't figure it out, stop thinking about it. Manifest the fire fan and attach it to your lower back.
Now his item cards only contain incense and a fire fan; the recipes, of course, disappeared after he learned them.
After resting, Liu Nian prepared to continue tackling the dungeon.
He carefully stepped across the flat ground, and the puddles on either side did not cause any trouble, which relieved him.
Opposite them was a high ground leading upwards, with only a narrow path revealing the black soil. On both sides of the high ground were uneven hills, shrouded in mist, and Liu Nian didn't know where it led.
He took a deep breath and stepped forward.
Just as he was walking uphill, the ravens that were scouting ahead began to give warnings.
Wow~ Wow~ Wow~
A large force is attacking!
Upon hearing the warning, Liu Nian directed the undead legion to form a battle formation.
