“Thunder Goblin, Gargoyle, and the Goblin Warrior.”
During the earlier tactical tug of war, Mu Yuan was able to figure out the whole situation in the Land of Filth through several Hurricane War Hawks and Battle Falcons.
In reality, the troublesome enemies are just these three.
Three occupational level monsters might cause despair for other rookie lords, but Lord Shepherd felt that it’s just so-so?
No, he can’t get arrogant.
He only has General Duo Lai who can slay these powerful enemies.
He also has General Dead Bone, who can also slay these powerful enemies.
Through concentrating fire from Bone Two and Bone Three and other elites, they could also bomb down one or two of these powerful foes.
That’s about it.
Under his command, Duo Lai led away the Thunder Goblin, not in a hurry to kill him, but instead used the goblin’s thunderous power for training to enhance his own resistance to thunder and generate some arc power.
This, of course, was a command from the Lord.
Otherwise, Duo Lai would have already slapped this goblin dead with a palm from the sky.
The remaining monsters also quickly dispersed under Mu Yuan’s command, pulling, and dividing to conquer.
Soon, only two formidable enemies were left on the big stage.
Dead Bone slowly walked forward.
Whoosh !
On his shoulder blade, silver-white bones extended two or three meters, and then instantly opened a pair of pallid Bone Wings.
The Bone Wings were ragged, a bit drafty, but shrouded in a chilling swirl of black mist. The black mist spread from the Bone Wing’s surface and swirled around Dead Bone’s whole body.
The next moment, without flapping his Bone Wings, Dead Bone was already suspended in the air.
His arms crossed over his chest, like a demon lord, looking coldly down at the Gargoyle and Goblin Warrior.
“The big one is coming!”
Mu Yuan looked forward anticipatively, to see how strong the current Dead Bone is.
The Gargoyle attacked.
The Goblin Warrior was also dashing forward.
Dead Bone held the giant sword in his hand, and… put it aside, he raised his right hand, his naked phalanges protruded out, the next moment, his phalanges snapped one by one, and under the impact of energy compression and energy explosion, they shot out like bone bullets.
This was just the beginning.
After firing a few bone bullets, chilling phalanges continued to generate, bone spurs like machine gun bullets, whistled out in rapid-fire succession.
The era has changed!
Bone spurs rained down, continuously bombarding the Goblin Warrior and the Gargoyle.
The spurs created by Sorrow of Skeleton were sharp and hard, in an instant, they pierced the Goblin Warrior into a bloody mess, leaving holes in the ground.
The defense of the Gargoyle was significantly stronger, knocking countless bone spurs away with loud bangs.
But,
Dead Bone not only utilized multiple energy tactics in this attack, it also involved more than the Sorrow of Skeleton, the emitted bone spurs were also entwined with a faint gray glow, this was the power of Decline of the Grief.
Bone spurs raining down, striking with bangs, made the skin of the Gargoyle increasingly grayish and dull.
From a glossy gray, it fell into a dull and worn gray.
Before the Gargoyle could get to Dead Bone, it was horrified to find its proud surface cracking one after another. More and more, more and more noticeable.
It became fragile! Its speed also slowed down significantly.
Dead Bone grasped the sword with both hands, pulling out a several meters long black sword light, delivering a steady blow to the Gargoyle that rushed up to him.
Bang !
“This is the end.”
“But it also makes sense.”
‘Only’ a few occupational level monsters, how much effort could they cost?
Over here, Duo Lai was already happily gathering the spoils of battle. With its Dimensional Pocket skill, it thoroughly deserved its title of Chief of Transportation.
“Guk…guk…” (Yes yes yes, put all these edibles in, I’ll keep them safe for you-)
Under the protection of Dead Bone and three Imperial Guards, Mu Yuan ventured deep into the Land of Filth and finally discovered a section of the Root of Corruption.
This section of the Root of Corruption was over two meters long and resembled a small tree. It had slight branching with a crimson liquid that looked like blood flowing through it.
Mu Yuan moved forward a few steps, and as expected, a notification sound rang out.
“Purify.”
‘Ding!’
From the Lord’s Seal, a pure and sacred white light erupted, swiftly spreading and enveloping the brown-red roots in front of him.
After a while, the Root of Corruption shattered, the ominous red mist hovering in the air also dissipated mostly. The parched Earth slightly improved with faint, and fresh green newly visible.
At the same time, the gifts of the world appeared before him, each one enveloped in a green light.
‘Notification: 2 Soul Crystals acquired.’
‘Notification: Random Remnant Soul (Rare) acquired.’
‘Notification: Material “Thunder Magnetic Core (Rare)” acquired.’
‘Notification: Tool “Breaking Boundary Stone (Rare)” acquired.’
‘Notification: Special equipment “Skeleton Warhorse (Rare)” acquired.’
The Skeleton Warhorse, as its name suggests, has a body constructed entirely from pale bones. It can travel thousands of miles a day by simply feeding it some Soul Sand.
What surprised Mu Yuan was that riding the all-boned warhorse didn’t cause his buttocks to feel sore, and it didn’t jolt when galloping. It was a decent mount that didn’t require daily care.
However, riding the warhorse made Mu Yuan stand out and easily targeted. It wasn’t very secure.
The General Dead Bone agreed.
But the Skeleton Warhorse is not only used for traveling. As a piece of rare equipment, the warhorse can amplify the rider’s energy, creating a unity between the rider and the horse, allowing it to leave strong enemies eating its dust.
“The Skeleton Warhorse is functional, and the Thunder Magnetic Core is the core material I need. The other remnants can all be sold for a net profit of about, six or seven Soul Crystals.”
Not bad at all.
As for the special tool, the Breaking Boundary Stone…
According to its description, it’s capable of opening and shattering barriers. Mu Yuan immediately thought of that place.
That afternoon, Mu Yuan was overseeing his territory while Dead Bone and Duo Lai, along with the Hurricane War Hawk, went to the ancient building ruins in the Dark Forest.
Well, since Dead Bone had created the Bone Wing skill, its mobility had undeniably improved significantly. It could finally traverse the forest without having to go around.
Whoosh.
There was a cold wind blowing, bringing along a bone-chilling coolness that spread everywhere, forming frost on the scattered architecture remnants on the ground.
Dead Bone folded its Bone Wing, and cautiously walked to the barrier gate leading underground.
Through the light screen, it could faintly see what was happening inside – the space within the barrier wasn’t large, the size of a basketball court. There were bone remnants scattered around, and in the center was a stone platform. Stuck in the platform was the hilt of a broken blade.
“The important item the mysterious strongman talked about is probably this broken blade. But, what treasure could a broken blade be?”
Mu Yuan wondered.
After observing it, Dead Bone took out the Breaking Boundary Stone.
It held this strange stone, injected its energy and ruthlessly smashed down on the light screen in front of it.
Thump.
The severe ripples spread out.
The light screen, which didn’t even crack when Duo Lai bashed it at full force, now had cracks spreading all over it, shattering in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a rare game notification sound rang next to Mu Yuan’s ear.
‘Ding!’
‘Special item “The Hero’s Proof” discovered, would you like to use it?’
