Shen Yi's hard-earned savings, aside from buying escape scrolls, were only used for some emergency supplies.
Killing the slime used up all his spell scrolls.
Therefore, when encountering Lava Slimes again, Shen Yi can only rely on the newly awakened Skeleton Mage to whittle down their health.
Lava Slimes have weak attack power and slow movement. If it weren't for their maxed-out physical resistance, they would be nothing more than walking experience packs.
Novice mages will awaken a random spell, and both of Shen Yi's skeleton mages awakened only fireball spells.
For lava slimes, the effect of fire damage is halved, and it takes two barely level 10 skeleton mages to slowly wear down a single slime.
Shen Yi casually picked up the slime's dropped item: Lava Slime Gel.
Then, let another skeleton devour and evolve.
A short while later.
Shen Yi stepped forward to check the stats of the evolved skeleton.
"really……"
Another skeleton mage!
Fireball again!
Lightning Strike, Tornado, Fireball, Ice Wall...
Of all the skills, it has to be the fireball spell.
One or two times could be considered a coincidence.
The fact that it happened the third time already says something.
Shen Yi now really wants to smash his job panel and see if there is a "Skill Details" panel inside.
He thought he was just incredibly unlucky to have gotten into this mess!
"The soul of a dead monster still retains the characteristics of the monster in life. After the skeleton devours and evolves, it will acquire the corresponding characteristics."
"And this characteristic will affect the skeleton's job advancement outcome?"
Shen Yi frowned.
This conjecture is quite reasonable; he can even apply this theory to the emergence of rare professions.
However, this is not absolute.
By devouring lava slimes, the ability to spawn skeleton mages with the Fireball spell can be reliably generated.
The skeleton may devour other monsters, but it's not guaranteed to produce knights, warriors, etc.
It follows a pattern, but it's not entirely predictable.
Just as Shen Yi was standing there deep in thought, he suddenly raised his head and frowned.
Then, Shen Yi quickly hid in the bushes nearby.
Just as Shen Yi had hidden himself, several monsters that looked like humans but had the physical characteristics of wild beasts walked over.
They are covered in brown, stubble fur, with erect ears and a tuft of hair at the tip. The long fur extends from their head to their back, making them look like a single piece of fur with their tails on their rump.
Shen Yi frowned.
With dog faces and dog bodies, these creatures are practically dog-headed people.
There were about three or four of them, with the leader being noticeably stronger than the others. Its forelimbs, which resembled both dog paws and human hands, were gripping a thick wooden stick.
Shen Yi saw the kobold leader say a few words to his subordinates, who nodded and then scattered.
"It has basic communication and cooperation characteristics..."
Calm down and continue observing.
Suddenly, the dog-headed man froze for a moment.
It looked around, then lowered its head and sniffed carefully at something.
odor?
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and his muscles tensed up instantly.
The kobold leader raised his head.
The moment it raised its head, Shen Yi moved!
The corpse summons!
Dozens of skeletons swarmed forward!
This scene left the kobold leader completely dumbfounded.
This is exactly the effect Shen Yi wanted!
One of the few remaining rare, job-changed skeletons that automatically returned to Chen Yi's body, the Skeleton Demon Swordsman charged ahead.
The speed of Chenyi is even faster than that!
In the blink of an eye, Shen Yi was already in front of the kobold leader.
One sword to the throat!
The kobold leader was clearly no pushover either, and quickly recognized Shen Yi as his enemy.
Barely dodging Shen Yi's attack!
The longsword barely grazed the kobold leader's throat before blood began to flow instantly.
He dared not stop and threw the longsword in his hand!
The kobold leader slapped away Shen Yi's longsword, a flash of fury appearing in his enormous beastly eyes.
"Aww—"
He roared to the sky!
Shen Yi sighed.
He intended to kill the kobold leader before he could call for reinforcements.
But he was clearly overthinking it.
Shen Yi didn't know the level of the other kobolds, but at least the leader of them was at least level 30!
Even with the 300-point attribute bonus from the Power of Unity, Shen Yi couldn't kill the kobold leader in one move.
And after the failed sneak attack, the kobold leader became even more courageous in battle, dodging Shen Yi's attacks one after another, and still having the strength to fight back.
"Awooo—Awooo!!"
The kobold leader gestured at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi blinked. "I don't understand!"
He slashed with his sword.
The kobold leader let out a low growl and instantly charged towards Shen Yi!
However, this time Shen Yi did not give it another chance.
He unleashed all his immediate combat power, directly surrounding and killing the dog-headed creature!
[Defeat the Kobold Captain LV29, gain 7% experience points]
While letting the skeleton devour and evolve, Chen Yi picked up the spoils and ran away.
With such a loud shout, reinforcements will surely arrive soon.
If we don't leave now, when will we?
As Shen Yi had predicted, three or five kobolds rushed back.
They saw the kobold corpses on the ground, and the skeletons standing there blankly.
Despair and sorrow filled their eyes as they charged directly at the skeleton minions!
But unexpectedly.
The skeleton minions vanished instantly!
The kobolds missed their target.
They were all stunned, their rough dog faces filled with confusion.
...
"Luckily, I ran fast."
With a casual wave of his hand, Shen Yi summoned a skeleton soldier in front of him.

"A fighter?"
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at his brand new skeleton with some surprise.
"What do skeletons and fighters have to do with each other?" Shen Yi couldn't help but complain.
After thinking about it, I decided against it, since I already had an even more unreliable class like the Skeleton Priest under my command.
Moreover, the Fighter class is even stronger than the Knight class.
The reason why knights are a popular melee class is mainly because they have strong self-preservation capabilities, are good at both offense and defense, and can wear heavy armor.
Fighters sacrifice survivability for damage output; in other words, their melee capabilities are even greater than those of knights.
However, the sluggish skeleton army obviously doesn't need to worry too much about survival rate.
Next comes the reward for defeating the kobold leader.
Shen Yi took out a piece of equipment.
