Chapter 118 Golden Apostle Enters the [Thorn Jungle]
The skeleton army obeyed orders and froze instantly, their forty skulls staring straight to the left.
There lived a group of creatures there, like night goblins.
They are silently emerging from the shadows of the ruins, attempting to launch a surprise attack with their sharp claws and teeth.
However, Ark had already detected the location of these monsters in advance.
He commanded his skeleton army to quickly form a circular defense, while simultaneously unleashing [Bone Arrow Rain] to precisely blast the stalkers to death one by one.
The skeletons brandished their sharp bone claws, creating a dance of death that quickly and completely eliminated the threats lurking in the shadows.
Hunting points +15.
"Soul Power +0.4".
Fangzhou pursed his lips, thinking it was a gain that was better than nothing.
After directing the skeletons to collect the spoils, he hurried off into the depths of the ruins.
If you want to get to the Thorn Jungle as quickly as possible, crossing the town ruins is the shortest route.
Despite being mentally prepared, the frequency of battles along the way surprised Ark.
This area of town ruins looks like an arena for underground monsters.
He even encountered gnolls and trolls, who love the cold, several times.
Among them were even some powerful monsters larger than trolls.
boom!
As the army of skeletons traversed the narrow alleyways, a gigantic, ferocious spider descended from the sky, attempting to trap the entire force with its massive body and dense web.
However, the ever-vigilant Ark had already predicted the spider's attack path through its [Soul Vision].
He remained calm and directed the skeletons to quickly disperse to avoid getting trapped in the spider web.
Next, Ark decisively activated [Mass Brutality], greatly enhancing the damage output of the skeleton army.
The narrow alleyway was originally the hunting ground carefully chosen by this ferocious spider in its apprentice stage.
However, under the full force of Ark's [Bone Lock], it became a prison that limited its output.
The fearless skeletons used their small size and agile movement to launch counterattacks against the ferocious spiders from all directions.
Under the skeletal claws enhanced with death energy and putrefaction, the ferocious spider's already not very tough shell was torn to shreds by the skeleton army in just a few minutes.
Hunting points +7.
"Soul Power +0.2".
With a hint of disdain for the skeletons covered in the sticky silk of the ferocious spider, the Ark bypassed the pool of blood and led its army onward.
As the Ark ventured deeper, it discovered that the environment of the town ruins was gradually changing.
The rubble and stones scattered on the ground have been replaced by damp soil, and the collapsed building ruins are now filled with lush trees.
He breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the thorny thicket was almost there.
Suddenly, a strong smell of blood wafted over.
Fang Zhou's expression turned serious, and he quickly activated [Soul Vision], immediately sensing a dense wave of soul energy ahead.
Carefully navigating a street corner filled with broken walls and ruins, Fangzhou held his breath and looked ahead.
Amidst these ruins, a small battlefield suddenly appears.
On one side are hordes of ferocious rats.
Although they are small in size, their numbers are astonishing, and each pair of ruby-like eyes gleams with a savage light.
Their opponents are a small pack of ferocious wolves.
These wolves were agile and their fur gleamed with a metallic sheen. Despite being at a disadvantage, they fought back tenaciously, emitting low growls.
The battle between the two monsters was extremely fierce. Their claws and fangs clashed in the air, tearing at the air and making a "pitter-pitter" sound.
The ground was stained red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Fangzhou observed silently, quickly calculating the relative strengths of both sides in his mind.
Even combined, these two groups of monsters were no match for the skeleton army, especially since they were now in a bloodthirsty frenzy.
Hunting points delivered right to my doorstep – why not take them?
Fangzhou gently waved his staff, and an invisible command was transmitted to the army.
They began to move silently, sneaking in from every corner around the battlefield, gradually forming a perfect encirclement.
Seeing that the monsters were still locked in a fierce battle, the Ark commanded its troops to launch a simultaneous attack.
The skeletal remains reflected a cold light, and with the cracking sound of bones colliding, they surged into the battlefield from all directions.
The ferocious rats and wolves were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and the already chaotic battle situation instantly became even more complicated.
The ferocious rats are more agile.
Some tried to escape, but were quickly blocked by the skeletons' tight encirclement.
Another group, driven by instinct, turned to attack these new intruders.
Despite being outnumbered, the ferocious wolves, driven by their innate carnivorous nature, engaged in fierce battles with the skeletons.
Fangzhou, relaxed and protected by several skeletons, watched as his valiant summons outnumbered and swiftly slaughtered the monsters.
The battle lasted only a few moments.
With overwhelming numerical superiority and the crushing combat power of the apprentices, the army quickly achieved an overwhelming victory.
Hunting points +40.
"Soul Power +1".
The remains of the ferocious rats and wolves were scattered all over the ground, and the Ark naturally wouldn't waste them.
After skinning and dismembering him, he reaped at least 10 contribution points worth of loot.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Ark did not linger.
Soon, he arrived at the boundary between the town ruins and the thorny thicket.
Here, dense trees and vines intertwine to form a green maze.
The magical moss can only peek out from between the leaves, revealing tiny patches of light.
Although the air is filled with the fresh scent of plants, countless unknown dangers lurk beneath this tranquility.
Fangzhou rested for about ten minutes at the edge of the jungle, ate some marching rations, and recovered his strength.
Just as he was about to lead his army of skeletons into the jungle, a sudden thought struck him, and a notification appeared on his attribute panel.
"Number of Apostles +1".
Fangzhou was slightly taken aback and quickly looked at the Apostle section of the Skull Clone's attribute panel.
[New Apostle]; Sandru, a Gold-ranked High-level Necromancer. Ark's eyes narrowed; he was actually a Gold-ranked High-level Necromancer.
Sandru? That name sounds familiar.
After browsing through Su Xinyan's cultivation notes, he immediately found Sandru's information.
Sandru is currently the strongest necromancer in the Human Alliance, having single-handedly laid the foundation for the necromancer class.
He is undoubtedly a figure of immense stature and influence.
However, since Sandru became the apostle of the clone, it proves that this senior also practiced the [Skeleton King Meditation Method] derived by the Ark.
Only in this way can a mysterious soul connection be established with the skeleton clone in the Land of the Dead.
Fangzhou pondered for a moment.
From the current perspective, Sandru becoming an apostle only brings him benefits and no harm, so he is not too conflicted about it.
