Chapter 22 The second-class undead "Skinner"
After an unknown amount of time, the soil on the ground has completely turned dark red.
The surroundings were filled with an unpleasant smell mixed with the stench of rust and rotten flesh.
"It smells of blood..."
Yihua frowned, his eyes becoming more alert.
At this point, Yihua realized that he had entered a new area, and new undead might appear at any time.
So he ordered the skeleton knights following him to form a defensive formation and continue to advance slowly forward.
Yihua was surrounded by the Skeleton Knights and was located in the center of the formation.
After another hour or two, a pale jungle growing on the scarlet earth came into view.
After getting close, Yihua first asked the Skeleton Knight to test it out. When he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he went up and touched it himself.
These pale "trees" that cannot be embraced by hands and are dozens of meters high seem to be made of unknown bone.
Yihua directed the Skeleton Knight to step forward and slashed at the skeletal tree.
Bang!
Unexpectedly, the Skeleton Knight, who had good strength even among knights, struck with his sword, leaving only a scratch on the bone tree.
Yihua was a little surprised by the strength of the osseous trees, but after many tests, the osseous trees showed no abnormal reaction.
So he commanded a group of skeleton knights to step into it, spread out, and head towards the depths of the huge bone forest that was seven or eight meters apart.
After about a quarter of an hour, the surrounding bony trees were no longer pale and began to have scarlet lines.
A lingering strong corpse smell gradually spread around.
Suddenly, there was a sense of fear from the Skeleton Knight at the end of the left side.
Yihua, who noticed something strange, stopped.
Since the number of undead that Yihua could control at the same time was limited, he ordered most of the skeleton knights to stay where they were.
He followed the more than ten skeleton knights on the left and quickly gathered towards the skeleton knight at the end of the left.
Soon, a nightmare-like scene came into Yihua's eyes.
There were stumps of limbs and undried dark red blood all over the place, and the branches of the pale bone trees with red patterns were covered with pieces of pale torn skin of humanoid creatures.
In the middle of the clearing, there was an unknown humanoid creature that was at least two meters tall, wearing a bloody hood and exposing dark red flesh, like a mummy.
It was currently using the skinning knife in its hand to peel off the skin of a humanoid creature.
Tear!
The unknown humanoid creature tore off the skin with part of the flesh attached to it from the body of the humanoid creature.
Then, he peeled off the skin and hung it around his waist, turning it into a blood-stained human skin apron.
The skinless scarlet bones were thrown by an unknown humanoid creature a few meters away on the pile of bones that had already piled up.
Feeling the slightly trembling thoughts of the skeleton knights around him, Yihua roughly guessed the identity of the humanoid creature in front of him, which was the existence he was looking for on this trip - the
second-class undead.
The world of death is extremely vast, and so far the Necromancer has not fully explored it.
Some of the undead souls were recorded by necromancers, compiled into books, and widely circulated.
But most of the undead are still unknown to wizards.
Once these unrecorded undead are successfully enslaved by Yihua, the results will have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that Yihua can obtain the naming rights for this undead.
And because there is no relevant information, others who are enemies of Yihua will fall into an extremely passive position when facing this kind of undead.
The disadvantage is that because there is no relevant information recorded, Yihua does not know what abilities this undead has.
If you are not careful, you can easily suffer big losses, and you can only fumble step by step.
Based on its characteristics, Yihua temporarily named it "Skinner".
Yi Hua, who was dozens of meters away from the skinner, saw that the other party did not notice him, so he decided to test it first.
With a slight thought in his mind, a skeleton knight walked out of the military formation, clenched the rusty sword in his hand, and rushed towards the Skinner dozens of meters away.
Just when the skeleton knight came within twenty meters of the skinned man, the skinned man, who was standing motionless and as tall as a hill, turned around.
It threw away the skinning knife in its hand, picked up an extremely thick bone-cutting knife from the ground and faced the Skeleton Knight.
Although his face was covered, Yihua could feel that the other party seemed to be staring directly at the Skeleton Knight.
Just before the Skeleton Knight approached, the Skinner's arm moved slightly, and an afterimage flashed past.
boom!
The Skeleton Knight who rushed towards the Skinner instantly exploded like broken building blocks.
Some of the bones on the body were blown tens of meters away by the terrifying force, and smashed into the soft dark red soil with heavy force.
After eliminating the Skeleton Knight in front of him, the Skinner seemed to have lost his target, and stood there and fell silent again.
Unexpectedly, the Skeleton Knight, who had considerable strength even among the formal knights, could not even block a single blow from the higher-level second-class undead.
Seeing this terrifying force, Yihua's originally cautious expression became even more gloomy.
With the peak physical strength of Yihua Knight, unless combined with second-class light therapy, it would be impossible to destroy the Skeleton Knight with one blow.
But the Skinner was able to do this by relying solely on his physical strength, and the terrifying power he displayed was far beyond his current ability.
"Is this the power of a great knight?"
Yihua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and raised his palm.
Twelve skeleton knights formed in the military formation behind them and slowly advanced towards the Skinner.
This is also the current limit of Yihua's ability to control the undead at the same time.
Out of caution, this time he planned to use the Skeleton Knight to attract frontal firepower.
Yihua looked for opportunities to release the second-class light therapy technique that had a restraining effect on the undead from a distance, and was responsible for the main attack on the skinners.
"Perhaps the head is a weak point?"
Yihua recalled the zombie movies he watched in his previous life, as well as the scene in which he fought against the Skeleton Knight and cut off his head, causing his body to lose the ability to move and collapse to the ground.
The head is often a vital part of humanoid creatures.
So this time, when Yihua controlled the Skeleton Knight to attack, he intentionally attacked the Skinner's relatively slender neck.
In just tens of seconds, the skeleton knights present were killed to pieces.
boom!
Just when the Skinner chopped a skeleton knight into pieces again, he was about to take back the heavy bone-cutting knife in his hand.
Yihua, who was holding the golden little sun that had already formed in his hand, finally seized the opportunity.
Taking advantage of the gap when the skinner put away his knife, he suddenly shot the second-class light therapy in his hand at the skinner's head.
"Hit!"
Upon seeing this, Yihua clenched his fists, took out the cross sword hanging on his waist, and prepared to fight.
After the second-class light therapy hit the skinner, golden flames several meters high suddenly burst out from the skinner's body.
While making bursts of sizzling sounds like grilling on an iron plate, it also emitted a pungent black smoke, shrouding the entire Skinner and the few remaining skeleton knights around it.
When the black smoke dissipated, the Skinner, who was completely black and smelled of burnt odor, walked out quickly, seemingly unaffected.
