Chapter 146 The Power of the Legendary Ranger

Amber's goal is to create an undead body that cannot be restrained by holy light. Dahei and Erha are both his experimental subjects.

When doing experiments, you certainly can’t do it yourself.

In the movies I watched in my previous life, this doctor or that scientist, all those who used themselves for experiments did not have a good ending. They either turned into madmen or fools. Even if they were originally smart, they all turned into muscular men after the experiments.

Amber Xiu sighed at the time, "Your blackening is ten times stronger, which means your muscles are ten times stronger?" After throwing away the brain, no matter how many times the strength increases, the result is very miserable.

Therefore, Amber Xiu absorbed the lessons of these "predecessors" and decided not to use himself as a guinea pig before the experiment yielded results.

Dahei and Erha were given this glorious and arduous task, but Amber was not cruel enough to force them to die in the Lion Empire. As high-level undead, they were still very powerful. Even if this new body was not resistant to holy light, it would not be killed by any holy warrior's holy slash.

Before being promoted to a legendary rank, Headless Brother had been hunted down and killed by the Paladin Legion many times. If they are lucky and encounter a lone Paladin, they can still escape unscathed after being hit by a Holy Slash.

Amber Xiu didn't need to remind them of this. These two were veteran adventurers and naturally had their own ways of doing things.

Amber was kind enough to prepare two pieces of magic equipment for them, namely the teleportation ring and the protection ring. As the name suggests, one can teleport over a small distance, and the other ring can cast a wizard shield. Both are good things that can save lives at critical moments.

Dahei and Erha accepted the mission without batting an eyelid and headed to the surface.

There is still a war going on in the desert. If we are lucky, we will be able to complete the mission and return safely soon.

After seeing the two off, Amberxiu started a new round of busy work.

The first thing was to arrange the excavation work of the dungeon. It was impossible for the lich to move bricks by himself, so Amber had to redesign an alien skeleton in order to excavate the dungeon.

This skeleton, named Gravedigger, has limbs specifically used for digging soil and chiseling stones. Combined with a skeleton specifically used for carrying, it should be very efficient if it works day and night, at least better than human slaves.

More than two hundred gravediggers were brought in overnight, and the sound of digging began to be heard continuously in the underground city.

These sounds, like the sound of gold coins coming in, made Amber Xiu feel very comfortable. Every knock represented that his exploitation was effective. But Catherine couldn't stand it and had to set up a long-term soundproof barrier in her room to block out these annoying sounds.

After the excavation work was handed over to the skeleton, Amberxiu was also busy.

Next, he still had an important task to complete.

Amberxiu needs to master the legendary power he has just obtained as soon as possible.

Before, Amber was a pure mage, a pure spellcaster of both necromancy and the school of prophecy, but after receiving selfless sharing from Catherine, he gained the power of a legendary ranger and part of the magic of the school of transmutation.

It’s a pity that the legendary favor of “selfless sharing” itself cannot be shared with others, otherwise the legendary power would be continuously split like a virus.

Catherine's legendary ranger ability is the ability to synthesize magic-breaking weapons specifically for rangers, including arrows, daggers, etc. In addition, Amber also possesses the agility of a ranger, as well as other related abilities.

Amber Xiuguang gained the power of a ranger, but had no idea how to use it.

Therefore, Amber found Catherine, hoping that she could guide him to become a real ranger.

After hearing the purpose of Amber's visit, Catherine showed a very interested expression.

"You have no idea about rangers?" Catherine asked.

Amber Xiu nodded and explained: "I have touched a bow and arrow no more than ten times in my life."

This is not an exaggeration. Amber was a wizard when he was an adventurer. He had touched a bow and arrow only a few times in his life, let alone wielding a sword, of which he knew nothing.

The reason is simple, he is afraid of pain.

Be it archery or sword skills, any weapon that uses cold weapons requires a lot of practice, which will lead to injuries.

Amberxiu is the kind of person who would spend a long time hesitating if he cut his finger. People who practice martial arts will always break a few bones. For him, magic is more cost-effective.

But now, he has become a lich. Unless he is hit by the Holy Slash, Amber will not feel any pain at all. This is the best time to practice.

Catherine listened and showed an excited expression, like a little girl who found a toy. It is impossible to find an elf who has never touched a bow and arrow. They have already started practicing bow and arrow when they learned to speak. The physique of the elves is different from that of humans.

"I have never taught a student, especially a student like you who knows nothing. Let me think about it." Catherine recalled her childhood and said to Amber Xiu: "I remember that my teacher did not teach me archery at that time. As the first lesson of a ranger, I learned how to summon a beast companion."

Amber Xiu said doubtfully: "I remember that this is not an ability that an apprentice can master. Are you sure your teacher is not wrong?"

Catherine said proudly: "It's different. I have a very good talent."

Amber Xiu couldn't find a reason to refute. An ignorant girl who had stayed at home for many years could be promoted to a legend. This talent was really extraordinary. Amber Xiu herself didn't know how many times she had narrowly escaped death before being promoted. She was still a fake.

"Don't worry, you have now directly obtained the ability of a legendary ranger. What you lack is experience, just like me back then. So you can completely skip the basic exercises. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Catherine took out an elegant longbow and handed it to Amber, then threw a dagger out of the house.

The dagger flew out in the darkness with a whoosh and I didn't know how far it was. I could only hear a ding sound, probably because it had pierced into the wall somewhere.

Catherine said, "Try to shoot the dagger I just threw."

"No way?" Amber Xiu was a little bit unbelievable. The dagger flew out of his soul's perception range. How could he shoot it? "You should have heard the sound just now... Well, I don't know if the lich's hearing is good, but if you concentrate your attention, you should be able to sense the location of the dagger. Try it."

Catherine didn't sound very confident, but Amber tried it anyway.

A lich has no ears and cannot hear sounds, but he can sense vibrations.

The world was like an overly complicated instruction manual, describing the sound just now to Amberxiu in a complicated and tedious way.

When Amber Xiu recalled it carefully, this description seemed to contain a lot of information that he had not noticed before.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The direction of the sound, its size, and the subtle flow of air... These details were originally beyond Amber's sensing range, but now as long as he concentrates, he seems to be able to know all the relevant details.

Amber raised his longbow, bent the bow and drew the arrow in one go, then shot an arrow towards the invisible darkness.

With a "ding" sound, the arrow actually hit the dagger thrown by Catherine.

Amber Xiu couldn't believe it. He actually shot it! Is this the ability of the legendary ranger? No wonder it is said that the legendary ranger can sterilize flies from hundreds of meters away. It turns out that it is not an exaggeration at all.

Catherine was also very happy and said, "See, I told you that you don't need to do any basic exercises at all."

Amber nodded and said, "You are right. There is really no need to waste time. So what should we do next, is to summon our beast companions?"

Catherine said in a very serious tone: "Yes, I am a ranger with a tamer style. You inherited my power, so a beast companion is especially important to you."

"How do I choose a beast partner? Are there any special requirements?" Amber asked humbly. He always maintained the utmost respect for knowledge, even though the elf girl in front of him was a naive and childish homebody.

"The only requirement is that they can cooperate with you. Beast partners do not necessarily need to be very powerful. Our rangers can share their power with beast partners, so even if it is a butterfly, if it is my beast partner, it can also have strong combat power. What really matters is the tacit understanding between you and your beast partner. This is very important.

"Back then, it took me a whole year to contract my first beast partner, and most of the time I spent was searching for the target. So you'd better be mentally prepared. It's not easy to meet a beast partner that is compatible with you."

Catherine's first beast companion was a premature black panther. The black panther's mother was seriously injured while hunting, and Catherine happened to meet it. It was Catherine who delivered the baby herself, and then she got her first companion.

At that time, the little black panther was only the size of a palm and was too weak to survive. It was because Catherine shared her strength with him that the little black panther survived and has now grown to the size of an elephant. Because of this relationship, the black panther and Catherine have the closest relationship and the most tacit cooperation.

However, this kind of opportunity is hard to come by, and Catherine can only provide some guidance and cannot directly help Amber solve this problem.

"It doesn't need to be very powerful, it just needs to be mentally compatible... Then this beast partner actually covers a wide range. It doesn't have to be a lion, tiger, bear or other beasts, right?" Amber asked.

Catherine said, "Yes, flowers, birds, insects, and fish are all fine. You can even contract with tree spirits. Many elves choose tree spirits as their contract partners."

Amber Xiu immediately thought of the mercury spirit figurine he had created. This is also a living creature, a child he created himself. Isn’t this contract perfect?

Amber Xiu immediately picked up the mercury spirit figurine that had been jumping around after moving to the new house and asked Catherine, "Is this okay? I created this."

Amber told Catherine the origin of the mercury figurine and asked her to make a judgment.

Catherine looked at this strange creature carefully. She had been curious about what kind of mercury slime it was. After listening to Amber's explanation, she was suddenly surprised.

An undead soul created a new species, and a living one at that.

This was an event that would go down in history. Catherine felt trusted as such a secret was told to her.

However, after listening to Amber's description, Catherine shook her head and said, "It's not suitable. This little guy is a child you created. If he really fits you, the contract should have been signed automatically when you held him."
