Chapter 69 Silent Wheat Field
Facing the third-class undead, the Skinner, as a second-class undead, will most likely become a consumable.
In order to fight against the third-class undead in the future, Yihua must accumulate a large amount of the undead army needed to fight against the third-class undead.
It is against common sense for Yi Hua to control higher-level undead.
Under normal circumstances, a second-level necromancer can enslave undead of the same level and be able to summon and operate at least a dozen of them at the same time.
The number of those above and below controlling first-class undead souls reaches hundreds.
Even if he used his powers to forcibly enslave higher-level undead, it was still a bit too reluctant and could not compare with the number controlled by necromancers of the same level.
Now Yihua, as a first-class apprentice, forcibly enslaves the second-class undead skinners. Being able to summon and control four of them at the same time is the limit.
This also means that Yihua's attempt to enslave the third-class undead with only four second-class undead was even more difficult than the original enslavement of the Skinner.
After that, Yihua continued to march in the scarlet forest with his undead men.
Not only is the distribution interval of the undead in this scarlet forest much larger than that of the previous Knights Plain, but the area is also the same.
After several days of fighting, Yihua had enslaved hundreds of skinners, but he still had not left the scarlet forest.
Just when Yihua was at a loss to find the third-class undead, the surrounding gray mist fluctuated violently as if it was alive.
Along with the fluctuations, the color of the gray fog becomes darker and darker, and the visibility becomes lower and lower.
The originally slightly whitish gray fog turned dark, and the visibility gradually shrank from the original tens of meters to more than ten meters, and then to a few meters in front of the eyes.
In the end, Yihua fell into a situation where he couldn't see his fingers. There were waves of space fluctuations around him, and he felt a slight feeling of dizziness.
"Is this phenomenon a death vortex?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yihua's face was a little gloomy, but he did not fall into panic. He remembered the knowledge he had learned in the previous class.
In the world of death, there is a phenomenon called "Death Vortex". It has no lethality in itself, and its generation process and coverage range are irregular.
But it will carry a large number of souls trapped in the death vortex, and together with their bodies, they will cross countless distances and appear in another area of the death world.
The distance traveled is generally random. It may appear on the edge of the death world, or it may enter the depths of the death world.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing for Yihua who wants to cross the scarlet forest.
"I hope you won't be unlucky enough to fall into the territory of the undead of the official wizard level or above..."
Perhaps the power of the death vortex was exhausted. Only a few dozen seconds after Yihua's thoughts flashed, the surrounding black mist gradually dissipated.
As the black fog returned to grayish white, the visibility in front of Yihua returned to the previous tens of meters.
Yihua looked around. The surrounding environment was no longer the scarlet forest before, and the land had turned grayish yellow.
Looking into the distance, Yihua vaguely saw patches of gray-yellow wheat fields.
Through the soul link, Yihua felt that every one of his undead army was moving over with him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting closer, Yihua picked off a gray-yellow wheat ear and felt the soul energy fluctuations in it. Yihua's pupils shrank and he recalled the name he had heard in the market.
"This seems to be 'Revenant Wheat'."
Yihua had seen an apprentice selling a small amount of Revenant Wheat at the market.
This wheat is said to grow in places where a large number of souls have been eliminated, such as tombs or ancient battlefields.
Wheat for dead souls has the effect of slightly increasing mental power, but the side effect is that it will deplete vitality. It is highly toxic to mortals who do not have much life energy.
However, for wizards and high-level knights, the toxicity caused by the loss of life energy is completely negligible compared to the improvement of mental power.
As long as you don't take a large amount at once, it won't kill you.
Everything that can enhance spiritual power is extremely precious to wizards.
Therefore, the price of Wraith Wheat remains high. One kilogram of wheat ears can be sold for dozens of crystal coins.
After taking it, you can probably save a week of meditation time.
And the wheat field in front of me weighs more than ten thousand catties?
Looking at the massive amount of dead wheat in front of him, Yihua's eyes glowed.
There is no wheat field here, it is simply a witch crystal mine!
But he did not blindly step forward to pick, but looked towards the invisible range beyond the fog.
"Since we are still in the world of death, there is a high probability that there will be undead here. Let's let the skeleton knights go and test it out first." With a thought in
Yihua's mind, more than a dozen skeleton knights dispersed and moved away in all directions.
Watching the skeleton knights enter the mist and disappear from the visible range, Yihua no longer observes visually, but determines their location through the induction of soul links.
Yihua's eyes switched back and forth from the advancing Skeleton Knight.
The Necromancer can share the perspective with the undead, but because the Skeleton Knight has no eyes, he perceives things through soul fluctuations.
Therefore, Yihua cannot see images from their perspective, and can only perceive the thin soul radiance emitted by the dead wheat on the ground.
After about two or three minutes, a skeleton knight located 500 meters away suddenly disappeared from Yihua's perception like a bubble.
"There is indeed something wrong with this wheat field."
Seeing this, Yihua looked stern.
He ordered the remaining skeleton knights to move closer to the missing location, and accelerated the speed of switching perspectives between the skeleton knights.
In just a few dozen seconds of getting closer, the remaining ones scattered were disconnected from Yihua's soul link one after another at an extremely fast speed.
At the moment before the link of the last Skeleton Knight was disconnected, Yihua vaguely caught a glimpse of a huge soul fluctuation from its perspective.
"Did the Skeleton Knights only have one enemy just now?"
Recalling that the Skeleton Knights had disappeared one after another before, there had never been two or more Skeleton Knights disappearing at the same time.
Yihua's face looked a little solemn, and he rubbed his cheek with his fingers and thought about it.
However, if there is only one enemy, the Skeleton Knights will disconnect too quickly.
You must know that each of the skeleton knights was in a different direction, and each one was at least tens of meters apart.
The Skeleton Knight disconnects at almost one speed per second. Is it possible that the opponent's speed is so terrifying?
In just one second, he could cross a distance of tens of meters and successfully kill a skeleton knight?
If this is the case, I am afraid that the undead living in this wheat field are at least the third level, or even reached a higher level.
After thinking for a long time and having no idea, Yihua stopped to think and decided not to send out the fragile Skeleton Knight, but to choose the Skinner with better survivability.
The order was given instantly, and the four Skinners were several meters apart. According to the coordinates of the missing Skeleton Knights, they took heavy steps and headed into the fog hundreds of meters away to conduct reconnaissance.
