Chapter 48 This is interesting
If you separate each mantra character and then reassemble it.
Needless to say, this is the combination with the highest success rate that Zhou Xu can think of at the moment!
Almost at the same time when he uttered this string of mantras, the invisible force spread out again, causing the thirty-nine skeletons scattered around to emit dense "crackling" sounds, as if they were instantly tempered by the power of the mantras.
At that moment, the thirty-nine skeletons in front of him brought visual changes to Zhou Xu that were completely visible to the naked eye.
The skeletons that had been standing there before were all loose and even crooked, and it felt like they could be knocked to the ground or even broken into pieces with just a casual bump.
But now it’s different, their posture has become obviously straighter.
This change in standing posture, when applied to the Skeleton, reflects an increase in limb power and strength.
At this moment, Zhou Xu understood that the skeletons he had pulled up through "skeleton control" before could not be regarded as skeleton soldiers at all. They were just ordinary skeletons.
And now, the skeletons he pulled up with the adjusted and upgraded 'Skeleton Soldier Control' are real skeleton soldiers!
The change of a mantra character directly led to an upgrade of the mantra.
However, consumption has also increased.
Zhou Xu still had some feeling about this consumption. Every time he used the mantra, he would feel as if something was being drawn away from his body.
It was only there when I used 'Skeleton Control' to pull up thirty-nine skeletons.
And now, when he transformed the mantra into 'Skeleton Soldier Control' and activated the mantra again, the feeling became more obvious, enough to prove the increase in consumption.
At the same time, these skeleton soldiers do not exist forever until they are destroyed.
In fact, every second these skeleton soldiers exist, they are continuously consuming his energy, but compared to when he activates the power of mantra to pull them up, this continuous consumption of energy is much more negligible.
But even this tiny consumption cannot be ignored if it lasts for a long time.
Zhou Xu realized this and quickly adjusted his thinking.
[It seems that I can't just pursue the number of skeleton soldiers. I also have to consider how long my strength can sustain these skeleton soldiers in battle. I must find a balance.]
[Think about it from another perspective. If you just want to consume the opponent at a high frequency in the early stage of the battle, then using the more labor-saving "Skeleton Control" is not a bad idea. 】
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu glanced at Zhou Chongshan.
"Chongshan, put the stone axe on the ground."
After receiving the order, Zhou Chongshan did it without any further ado.
After seeing the stone axe put away, Zhou Xu began to try to give orders to one of the skeleton soldiers.
"Pick up the stone axe."
After receiving the order, the skeleton soldier stepped forward, bent down and picked up the stone axe.
This scene caused the former Black Moon tribe members who were watching to exclaim in surprise.
Because in their impression, the skeleton soldiers controlled by their former leader were completely unable to use weapons.
Skeleton soldiers are not afraid of death. Their weakness, apart from their limited strength and relatively fragile bodies, is that their attacks lack lethality.
But once equipped with weapons, the lethality of the skeleton soldiers will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
After that, Zhou Xu tried to let the skeleton soldiers form some attack formations.
As expected, after officially upgrading from 'Skeleton' to 'Skeleton Soldiers', their execution capabilities became significantly stronger, and it seemed that their IQ had increased.
However, they could only present some simple formations. As for relatively complex formations, they were still beyond their capabilities.
Fortunately, this was enough for Zhou Xu.
[Next, we need to see the combat effectiveness of these skeleton soldiers. ]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu directly called out a warrior from the tribe.
"I want to confirm the individual combat power of this skeleton soldier. You fight it, but for safety reasons, use a wooden stick as your weapon."
If Zhou Chongshan were to come, it would definitely be an overwhelming victory. There would be no comparison at all, and he would not be able to see anything. For this reason, Zhou Xu specially picked an ordinary warrior from the tribe.
When the other party heard that there was only a wooden stick, he was naturally not afraid. He picked up a wooden stick and walked out.
There was no need to say much during the period, as the surrounding tribal members naturally formed a circle and watched the fun.
Sure enough, this posture of joining in the fun is almost the same in every era.
Each of them had an excited expression on their face. If you think about it carefully, in this primitive era with few entertainment options, this was truly a rare form of entertainment for them.
The unexpected crowd of onlookers made the tribal warrior tense up.
If this fails, wouldn't it be a huge disgrace? Thinking of this, the tension in his heart made him even more cautious.
However, Zhou Xu had no intention of engaging in a stalemate with him. He directly signaled the skeleton soldier to attack with a wooden stick.
When the tribal warrior saw the skeleton soldiers attacking him, he became even more nervous, and quickly raised his stick to block the attack.
The next second, accompanied by a dull 'bang' sound, the two wooden sticks collided. After a slight pause, the tribal warrior suddenly calmed down and directly raised the wooden stick to push forward. With all his strength, he made the skeleton soldier stagger and almost fall to the ground.
Obviously, during the brief fight, he had realized that this skeleton soldier was not very strong.
Taking advantage of the opponent's loss of balance, the tribal warrior did not hesitate and immediately chased after him. With a sweep, he knocked the skeleton soldier to the ground.
If it was the previous skeleton, it would have been shattered by this blow, but the skeleton of the skeleton soldier was obviously stronger than that.
Although he was knocked to the ground, his skeleton remained intact and did not have any impact on his movements.
At the same time, it would not feel pain. After being knocked over, it would immediately use its hands and feet to get up from the ground, waving a wooden stick and launching an attack again.
However, compared with the skeleton soldiers, the physical fitness of the tribal warriors is undoubtedly superior in all aspects.
Moreover, the skeleton soldiers' attack methods were very monotonous and simple. They consisted of slashing and stabbing, which made them very easy to see through. Relying on their higher physical strength than skeletons, although they took a few more rounds of beatings, they still couldn't escape the fate of being beaten to pieces in the end.
In the eyes of the onlookers, the tribal warrior won very easily.
But only Zhou Xu knew that in this round of duel, the biggest advantage of the individual skeleton soldiers was not actually utilized.
You know, the biggest advantage of a single skeleton soldier is that he is not afraid of death. This advantage can only be brought into play when he is equipped with more deadly weapons and fights desperately with the enemy.
Not to mention that skeleton soldiers generally don't fight individually, but mostly attack in groups.
In any case, after this round, Zhou Xu was still quite satisfied with the performance of the Skeleton Soldiers.
At the same time, it also verified his previous ideas.
[Sure enough, the mantras can be used in any combination! This is very interesting...]
