Mu Yuan:”!!!”
“Are you sure you saw correctly?”
“Blurb-!”
Duo Lai sent out an emoticon of himself standing with hands on hips in the spiritual link, affirming that he saw accurately.
Wait, you described the snake-man monster as utterly lackluster, then how come when it comes to creating emoticons, you suddenly seem super intelligent?
Duo Lai moved a bit closer, now less than twenty meters away from the god statue, secretly peeping.
Close enough, the Great Lord Mu obtained more information.
“These few snakes are snake-man warriors, equivalent to regular Three-Star Troops, and the reason they suddenly became robust could be…”
They leveled up!
The troops and monsters, once they level up, become taller, more robust, and more formidable, especially noticeable at the apprentice stage.
Could it be that this temple building can…?
At this moment, a few more snake-people walked in.
The lead snake-man had his chest bulging out more prominent than a basketball. In his hand, he held a staff with grey powdery edges embedded with some type of gemstone.
This was a snake-man wizard, equivalent to Goblin Shaman.
She too walked up to the god statue, muttered something, her entire body half-leaning on it. The next moment, the god statue radiated strands of brilliant light, enveloping the snake-man wizard.
Her brown hair swaying in nonexistent wind, the whole figure letting out a low growl, it seemed like the snake skin grew a new layer, a dominant aura emerged from her and spread around causing other snake-men around to kneel down.
Mu Yuan was also startled.
“Is this…Occupational Level Breakthrough?”
For troops and monsters to break through occupational level, naturally there is more than just ‘material breakthrough1, but other methods often have drawbacks like a longer breakthrough process, lower breakthrough probability, longer accumulation time, etc.
Material breakthrough, not only quick and convenient but also leads to a higher upgrade after breakthrough.
This snake-man wizard seemed to have used material breakthrough, leveled up in blink of an eye.
This must be the blessing given by the temple!
However, such blessings usually consume usage. The more the Snake man tribe uses it, the fewer times he can use it.
Mu Yuan had a gleam in his eyes.
This was his treasure! That these snake-men were consuming it wantonly, oh, the day will come!
He intended to let Duo Lai approach and touch it after the snake-men left, but the wizard, after breaking through, keenly sensed something amiss. She screamed as if intending to dig three feet into the ground of the temple.
Duo Lai had to hurry away.
Well, mainly because of the order from the lord. He, Lord Duo Lai, was not afraid of some snake-men.
Duo Lai grumbled, swiftly retreating along the edge of the temple, but not forgetting to seize a few treasures – abandoned weapons, ores, bits and pieces piled up inside the temple – regardless of their worth, he took a bit of everything ensuring not to leave empty-handed.
As Duo Lai passed, the big pile of miscellaneous items became sparse, by the time the snake-man wizard realized she got robbed, Duo Lai had already made his escape.
Let’s go, let’s go-
Captain Duo Lai is on his way back.
The Great Lord Mu furrowed his brows in thought.
He would have loved to defeat the snake-man tribe overnight, but exactly because he saw a scene of a formidable snake-man receiving the temple’s blessing, he needed to be cautious.
He needed to be ready to face a dozen or so Professional Super Powers.
And General Duo Lai couldn’t hold so many significant enemies. He could only rely on Emperor Dead Bone now.
That night, after relentless cultivation, Dead Bone finally filled up the soul energy requirement of the apprentice stage. His body was extremely saturated; he even faintly ‘saw’ that barrier, intuitively knowing that if he gathers all his power, he deserves to break this obstacle and shatter it.
Of course, it was purely intuition.
It may have the ability to attack the bottleneck, but it’s not reliable enough. And intuition tells it that once it fails to attack the bottleneck on its own, it’s likely to get hurt and lose levels.
Therefore, it can’t just give it a try casually.
Mu Yuan immediately fetched the ‘Perfect Breakthrough Stone (Initial)’ and handed it to the Dead Bone.
One person, one skeleton, their eyes met, everything was left unspoken.
It would uphold the glory of the land!
Dead Bone took the Breakthrough Stone and placed it in his palm. The next moment, the Breakthrough Stone turned into dust, and the mysterious power hidden within it surged into its body through the palm, aiming directly at its soul.
The bottleneck was opened like the Heaven’s Gate.
Energy erupted all over the body of the undead, like fog, like smoke, but also like a cloud.
The breakthrough was only a momentary event. Mu Yuan had already received the notification about Dead Bone’s breakthrough, but the Dead Bone in front of him remained motionless as if a statue, its ‘eyes’ tightly closed.
He wasn’t surprised.
This was basic operation for Emperor Dead Bone.
Time was not early, he only ordered a group of Skeleton Warriors to guard around, not to let any creatures disturb Dead Bone, after washing it crawled onto its own 1.8m bed and covered with a blanket, it slept very peacefully.
The next day,
Mu Yuan, who didn’t leave his fatigue to the next day, was in an excellent disposition, he planned his day while brushing his teeth and washing his face.
The highlight, undoubtedly, was the war against the snake man tribe.
Otherwise, the snake man tribe, which owns a giant snake, would be a great threat during the trial period.
“The snake-men hold the geographical advantage, the defensive advantage, and they might also ambush halfway through…”
He also has his advantages, the Battle Falcon provides aerial reconnaissance, taking in most enemy situations; the sacred spiritual power links all kinds of troops, working together as one;
His main force, the Skeleton troops, are not afraid of the snake-men’s exhaustion tactics, even if they fight to their deaths, they can return to battle under Dead Bone’s resurrection technique.
Most importantly, there’s Emperor Dead Bone.
Dead Bone alone is an army.
“With Dead Bone’s abilities, it must have comprehended many high-level energy usage techniques during the breakthrough process, maybe it can generate a sword aura twenty meters long, or solidify the sword aura, slashing it out from a distance without much loss?”
“Or perhaps create some new skills?”
Shaking his head, he can’t have such extravagant expectations.
Dead Bone had created something not long ago, and during this period of time, it hasn’t evolved, hasn’t learned new ‘basic skills’, even Emperor Dead Bone can’t make bricks without straw.
Thinking this, Mu Yuan went to the training field area.
As expected, Dead Bone was still training and pondering, with stacks of bones scattered around it, turning the whole training field area into a daunting bone region.
It stood still, gazing down, as if in contemplation, as if brewing.
Is it practicing ‘Withered Bone Land’? Indeed, after being promoted to the professional level, Dead Bone already has enough power to activate this skill.
The earth rumbled and trembled, the Skeleton Warriors guarding afar and the Strong Shooters on the watchtower turned their gaze, but they had already become accustomed to it.
The tremors became more intense, stacks of white bones grew from the ground, and went against gravity, slowly floating upwards in the air, after hovering for a moment, these thousands of white bones quickly assembled and interlocked.
Bang –
The huge forelimbs and hind legs slammed down, causing the ground to concave and stirring up waves of dusty soil. The silhouette of the huge creature in the pervasive dust was vaguely visible, grey-white bone thicker than a human torso reflecting light under the sun.
Crack –
The remaining white bones circled the Dead Bone in mid-air, forming the head of the giant beast, slowly embedded in it.
It slightly lowered its head, along with the shadow that was extending to the sky, covering the entire ground in every direction.
