Chapter 107 The Grief-stricken Death Knight

Rubin is not polite and Caroline is mysterious. After a battle, Mu Hua and Tabitha simply quit the group and left.

"Mu Hua, it's too late. It's not safe here. We should go back."

In a ruin in the Dead Sea Basin, Taibetha sat on the ground leaning against the wall, bored, and spoke to Mu Hua who was observing beside her through the vision of a blind raven.

After countless years of erosion, the ruins before our eyes still bear traces of human carving.

Not all courtyards are primitive and desolate environments. In addition to the development and construction by monsters themselves, many courtyards also have ruined relics of ancient civilizations.

The essence of the courtyard is the fragments of the world, and the ruins where Taibesha is now located may have belonged to a city in a certain world and a certain race and civilization before it was destroyed by monsters.

In the city buried in nature, the wide roads have become bush paths and the collapsed buildings are like wind-eroded hills.

The former civilization has disappeared with time, and only some weathered rocks containing steel and metal remain, tenderly showing their unnatural side.

"Don't worry, it will be done soon. Summon Skeleton Generals twice more. That stupid Death Knight will appear in his true form. Destroy it and then we can go home." Mu Hua opened his eyes, with a slight flush of excitement on his face, and said to Taibetha.

"Ah~~" Tabitha sighed.

Although they did not share vision, she knew that somewhere far away from this hiding place, the skeleton general summoned by Mu Hua was probably fighting with a group of undead.

Taibetha was bored and it was uninteresting to hunt demons with Mu Hua because her cousin had taken stealing to the extreme.

You hide in a safe corner and throw summoned beasts into the enemy's lair one after another. What's so great about having so many summoned beasts?

It’s no wonder that this style of attack is surprisingly effective when facing monsters that lack detection capabilities.

It's just that Mu Hua was having a great time stealing, and Taibesha felt that there was nothing else to do except squatting beside Mu Hua and eating fruit with him.

"Ton~Ton~Ton~" Mu Hua tilted his head back and drank half a bottle of magic potion.

"Cousin, drinking too much magic potion is not good for you." Taibesha looked at Mu Hua unhappily. She had long felt that Mu Hua's magic power exceeded the standard. If he had no magic power, he could just go home.

"Don't worry, I only drink one bottle a day at most." Mu Hua showed his white teeth to Taibesha in a flattering manner, trying to calm Taibesha's irritable mood.

Of course, Mu Hua would not tell Taibetha that it was just the cuffs of his clothes that were torn for the time being, but with the support of the Purgatory Armor, he could fight the Death Knight here until the end of time before he was exposed.

"Sigh~~" Tabitha sighed softly. She really hoped that a headless knight would come. That kind of undead who could sense living things over a large area would definitely make Mu Hua run away quickly.

The two of them had already parted ways with Rubin and the others, and the adventurers who temporarily joined the battle certainly could not follow Rubin and his group.

After cleaning up the battlefield and evaluating the benefits, Rubin distributed rewards to the helpers on the spot.

With nearly two hundred helpers, Rubin was not stingy. Tabitha also gave them 300 demon gold coins.

Taibesha's fighting power is outstanding among all the adventurers, and Mu Hua plays a relatively important role on the battlefield.

The two were treated relatively well, but since there were no casualties in this battle, the others turned a blind eye to the fact that Mu Hua had stolen a magic wand.

After everyone cleaned up the battlefield, Mu Hua began to collect the bodies on the battlefield.

Although it was a surprise that Mu Hua was actually an alchemist, everyone still had strange expressions as they took even the smallest bit of Mu Hua's bones.

Yes, after the battle, there were artillery fire and corpse explosions. There were not many intact bones left. Mu Hua simply put all the broken limbs and arms on the ground into the Burning Source Furnace.

People only saw Mu Hua scattering the light of the soul everywhere, walking and scattering it along the way. After a circle, the original battlefield of bones was reduced to dust.

All kinds of environmental protection, all kinds of saving.

The so-called soul light is often used by alchemists to dismantle the corpses of monsters.

Although alchemists have soul spaces, they are usually unwilling to stuff things into their soul spaces.

Mu Hua cleaned the battlefield so thoroughly. No one had ever heard of any alchemist who would risk his life like this.

Well, you can say it was a life-threatening situation, and it's also okay to say it was embarrassing. But after a period of smelting, Mu Hua did get some gains.

Most of the magic cores in the sea of ​​undead bones were destroyed in the corpse explosion. Without the magic cores, it seemed impossible to refine the skill stones and the hundred-refined secret stones.

Although there were no pleasing stones, Mu Hua did gain nearly a thousand units of "ashes".

It is impossible to refine a skeleton with the ashes of a unit, but it is no problem to use it to refine a thigh bone of a skeleton warrior.

This kind of skeleton can be used to create constructed undead, to derive undead, and even to create the skeleton of magical life.

Many necromancers would collect monsters' bones to extract ashes. Normally, it would take a month or so just to refine a thousand units of ashes.

If high-quality bones were made from them and put on the market, they would also be sought-after high-end products.

In this world, it is hard to say whether knowledge is power, but it is definitely money. . . . Also because of the corpse explosion, the soul fragments that are a specialty of the undead could not be melted out, but Mu Hua still harvested a small amount of philosopher's stones and thirty attribute crystals.

Twenty-five physical crystals, five intelligence crystals, and attribute crystals were added to the account. This was much more than the devil's blood essence. As for other people's opinions? Mu Hua completely ignored them.

The battlefield was cleaned up like a swarm of locusts, and then the magic stones of the Black-armored Skeleton General and the Death Knight gave Mu Hua a small surprise.

The two magic stones of the Black Armored Skeleton General gave Mu Hua a skeleton summoning skill stone, while the magic stone of the Death Knight gave Mu Hua a skeleton summoning and a riding skill respectively.

There is no need to say much about riding, but after the skill stone is used, it is actually integrated into the skeleton summoning. The number of Hundred Refining Secret Stones required to increase the level of skeleton summoning has increased again.

However, Mu Hua was also quite concerned about the Skeleton Summoning Skill Stone.

Although it is a bit of a rip-off that the LV23 Skeleton Summoning requires 23 Skeleton Summoning skill stones to upgrade to the next level, at least we have found the clear source of Skeleton Summoning.

So, after separating from Rubin and others, Mu Hua took Tabitha to continue hunting in the Dead Sea Basin.

After discovering that the undead here lacked detection capabilities, he began to hide and throw summoned beasts.

"Skeleton Summons!" Twenty skeleton generals once again emerged from the pale magic circle.

Taibesha looked at Mu Hua weakly. Three bodies were missing, probably still outside attracting the attention of some undead.

My cousin is very cunning. He hides and releases the summoned beast, and does not forget to leave cannon fodder to attract the enemy's attention.

Mu Hua was seen with an excited look on his face. A group of skeleton generals were carrying huge swords and taking cunning steps. After a moment, they found the direction and ran away panting, disappearing from Taibesha's sight.

It was a boring wait. In the silence, one could faintly hear the roar of the dead.

After catching a pear thrown by Mu Hua, Taibetha threw it back in annoyance.

Magic fruit, she's had enough today!
I want to go out for a walk, but I’m worried about being exposed. I want to meditate, but the environment I’m in doesn’t allow me to calm down.

Until Mu Hua summoned the Skeleton Generals twice and the sky began to darken, Mu Hua finally called out to Tabitha and said that they were done.

Monday walked in front to lead the way, bypassing several difficult ruins, and Taibesha followed Mu Hua to a relatively spacious grassland.

Withered yellow weeds are the characteristic of the Courtyard of the Dead. The terrain of the grassland is very flat. Perhaps it was once a square for people in the bustling city to rest?

At this moment, the trampled grassland looked extremely miserable when viewed from close up.

The ground was littered with broken bones and ghostly fire, and broken skeletons were crawling around on the ground. There were only five skeleton generals left on the entire grassland with their limbs intact.

The five badly broken skeleton generals were surrounding and hacking at a death knight who was lying on the ground.

Messy, miserable, and eerie.

There should have been a large group of skeleton undead gathered here, with the number probably being around four hundred.

The reason why it is stated in general terms is that some skeletons that are not completely dead are crawling around, and the already messy bones make it difficult to confirm the exact number.

A group of skeletal undead gathered by the Death Knight.

Although most of them were low-level skeleton warriors, due to the existence of the Death Knight, this group of undead was something that Mu Hua absolutely could not afford to offend.

And after Mu Hua deployed summoned beasts remotely again and again.

The miscellaneous soldiers were cleared away, the Black-Armored Skeleton General was exhausted and dragged down. The Death Knight finally had to face the siege of the Skeleton General and was finally pulled off his horse.

Monsters are usually reluctant to show their true selves because it is easy to come here, but it is not so easy to return to hell.

People come to the courtyard to collect the energy they need for growth and evolution. Faced with the unknown, only those who are poor enough will risk lowering their true bodies to take it.

Logically speaking, a Death Knight shouldn't be too poor. If he hadn't been killed too many times, he might have been thrown into the Advent Circle by some existence.

No matter what the reason was, this guy had returned in his true form, which also brought more passion to Mu Hua.

"Skeleton summons!"

The skeleton generals who surrounded and attacked the Death Knight disappeared, and twenty-three intact skeleton generals appeared on the grassland again with their tower shields held high.

"Human~~!" When the Skeleton General rushed forward, the Death Knight, whose blood was exhausted and whose calves were broken, let out a grief-stricken roar.

Facing the ruined battlefield, Taibetha was speechless. Mu Hua excitedly instructed his family members to let the undead who were not yet dead return to silence.

Mu Hua himself quickly cleaned up the battlefield.
