This is just the most basic application.
Gavin's eyes stayed on a corpse not far away for a few more seconds. He only heard a bang and exploded on the spot. Countless bone fragments flew everywhere, and the Death Patroller not far away crackled. With a snapping sound, many bone fragments were directly embedded into its body.
The ends of those bone fragments are all uneven, resembling the tips of bone spears.
If it were a group of ordinary soldiers, this corpse explosion would be enough to knock them down.
Gavin had a vague feeling that he could even control part of the Death Patroller's corpse and detonate it.
Not only does this ability have unlimited potential, it is also a king ability in the Bone Plains, and has a controlling effect on the corpses and undead.
After a rough test of the offensive power of this ability, Gavin turned his attention to a pile of bones.
Under his gaze, these bones seemed to come alive, twisting and deforming according to his wishes.
At first glance, it looks a bit messy, but if you look closely, you will find that it contains mysterious runes, and it is also an extremely complex multi-layered structure.
Skeleton Cannon!
Gavin is using the legendary skeleton manipulation abilities to create a skeleton cannon.
As for its manufacturing formula, Gavin has long been familiar with it. What it lacked before was the ability to shape bones.
After all, the material used for the skeleton cannon is too special, and the skeleton does not have the plasticity of steel.
Without the help of magic, it is very difficult to change their inherent form, let alone shape them into the appearance of skeleton runes.
It took ten minutes and fifteen psychic points.
A five-meter-long, thirty-centimeter-thick skeleton cannon was newly released. It was even equipped with a simple skeleton cannon mount.
Daphne and Mrs. Estelle, they slowly transformed the skeleton runes through magic, and it took up to three days to create a skeleton cannon.
It’s not as convenient as Gavin’s. Just with his thoughts, he can make these bones change into what he wants at a very fast speed.
It seems that I need to collect a large amount of Soul Pool Purification Essence. If I am a little rich, I will have to express some of it back to my hometown.
Although Daphne and Mrs. Estelle do not have psychic points, they can use spell slots instead. The effect is just a little less effective, but it is still better than just rubbing by hand.
"Fire!"
Gavin slightly adjusted the position of the skeleton cannon and fired one shot at the bone mound in the distance.
The bone ball the size of an adult head flew out with a pop, just like the fireball spell that the mages left their hands. It continued to grow during the flight. By the time it reached the landing point, it had become a diameter of A huge thing no less than one meter tall.
Boom!
The bone ball hit the bone mound heavily, and the bones flew everywhere. Some of the bone balls were smashed away, and more were formed after the bone balls themselves exploded.
A black energy wave followed closely, sweeping in all directions.
Successful.
The Abyss version of the Skeleton Cannon was successfully manufactured.
The effect is very similar to that of the material plane, but there is a big difference.
The skeleton cannon in the material plane is powered by the shadow power of Vizeme Manor, so the shadow component is very strong.
The skeleton cannon Gavin had just created was powered by the power of souls in the territory, so it was filled with a strong flavor of the abyss. The physical shock wave generated when the skeleton shell exploded was more powerful, and the subsequent negative energy shock wave was only an auxiliary.
This is what Gavin is happy to see, and he will even have to modify it in the future to completely cancel the negative energy shock wave.
Because this attack is very useful against creatures, it has the opposite effect against enemies who are also undead.
Bombing in front, and then using negative energy shock waves to treat them later, the killing effect will be greatly reduced.
The only flaw is that after one shot, several slender cracks appeared on the barrel.
It's not a problem with Gavin's manufacturing process, but with the material.
These corpses were picked up by Gavin casually, and many of them belonged to skeleton soldiers.
A large amount of energy condensed and flowed through it instantly, causing severe overload.
Although Gavin can be restored by manipulating the skeleton, this method can only be used when the skeleton cannon comes and goes rarely.
When the Skeleton Cannon was deployed on a large scale and put into actual combat, Gavin was at a loss for what to do.
It probably exploded before the enemy came to destroy it.
If you want a highly durable skeleton cannon, you have to start with the materials.
After strengthening itself, there are only two soul pool purification essences harvested in this wave, one of which is reserved for another Death Patroller.
Gavin turned his attention to the remaining two Death Patrollers.
Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
If the previous intervention in the death hunter's killing and devouring evolution was just a bold hypothesis, the success rate would be difficult to guarantee.
Now Gavin has enough confidence, and his confidence comes from the legendary skeleton manipulation he just mastered.
I just made the Skeleton Cannon, so I had to practice it in advance.
The death hunter who evolves through killing and devouring is not the one with the highest hit dice, but the one whose two hit dice are extremely close.
Thirty-eight life dice serve as the bearer, and thirty-five life dice serve as the sacrifice.
The reason for this choice is that the strength of the two is similar, and the possibility of directly advancing to an elite soldier is greater.
If you use two Death Patrollers with a difference of ten in Hit Dice, they may not evolve completely, just like the original three-armed skeleton soldiers.
Click! Click! Click!
After receiving Gavin's order, the death hunter who was sacrificed let out a reluctant growl. It already had good intelligence and knew what would happen.
Gavin turned a deaf ear to its roar. He didn’t know how to talk about human rights when it came to these evil monsters.
Under the forced suppression, no matter how unwilling the death hunter was, he could only stay in place and let another death hunter rush up excitedly and pin him down.
It’s not about doing something inappropriate for children, it’s about devouring it.
Not only is it devouring its soul essence, but it is also devouring its bone essence.
In the Bottomless Abyss, there is no concept of compatriots. As long as you can obtain more powerful power, it is normal to eat your companions alive.
Gavin stared at the two entangled Death Patrollers attentively, through the killing power and powerful bone manipulation ability poured into them.
He could clearly feel their internal changes.
It seems vaguely that two huge arms are condensing and forming, which is to further strengthen the Death Patroller's melee combat capabilities.
This is not possible!
Gavin immediately intervened and directly prevented the Death Ranger from developing in this direction.
Roar!
The Death Patroller's soul trembled with dissatisfaction, but under the suppression of a large amount of killing power, he had to bow his head, obey Gavin's arrangement, condense the bone runes in his body, and arrange them in an orderly manner.
Creating a skeleton cannon in the body of a Death Hunter is much more time-consuming, laborious, and complicated than before.
The quality of the bones in its body cannot be compared to the bones picked up casually.
The most important thing is that the bones are not randomly pieced together as they appear on the surface, but have their own unique meaning.
In other words, the Death Patroller is also a huge magical creation, with its own skeleton runes, and many places have their own arrangement order, and they cannot change how they want.
The bone runes of the Skeleton Cannon must be added through mosaic fusion.
Under normal circumstances, this would be an impossible task for Gavin, a half-assed mage.
If it were the legendary arcanist Filancini, there would be hope.
But this is not a normal situation. The Death Patroller is in a state of disordered evolution and has strong self-correction capabilities. Gavin only needs to input the skeleton runes of the skeleton cannon, and this error correction ability will automatically adjust to the most appropriate position.
This is not only the divine power of killing, but also the power of the will of the abyss.
When the Death Hunter Devouring Evolution came to an end, Gavin had a deeper understanding of it. As long as he reversed its construction method, would he be able to make his own in the future just like he made a skeleton cannon? Deathstalker?
As for the skeletal essence that summons the Death Patroller.
What could be more suitable than the soul pool purifying essence?
This is something that will happen in the future. Gavin’s attention is mainly on this elite death hunter.
Gavin knew that his plan was successful without even checking his attributes.
A black muzzle with a diameter of no less than one meter is located in front of the elite Death Patroller. No one knows how long the barrel embedded in his huge body is.
But judging from the muzzle on the front, it is definitely not too short.
This can no longer be called a skeleton cannon, but an out-and-out giant cannon.
Gavin couldn't wait to open his properties panel.
Vitality: 406 (Hit Dice: 40D12+160)
Attributes: Strength 43, Agility 12, Constitution -, Intelligence 10, Perception 15, Charisma 19
Compared to before, the Hit Dice have increased Two of them have been added, but the others haven’t changed much. The most important thing is the new ability.
Skeleton Cannon (Special Ability) - This device can fill one skeleton cannon shell each round and can be fired upon command.
The effective range of the skeleton shell is 500 meters. It will automatically explode after hitting a hard object. The person hit directly will suffer 20D12+16 (strength adjustment value) impact damage. After the explosion, it will cover a radius of 15 meter area, the covered area will suffer 15D10 splash damage, and will subsequently cause 5D10 negative energy impact damage to all creatures in the area.
If the Death Stalker enters turret mode (stationary and completely rooted to the ground), the shell reload speed will be doubled.
The Death Hunter can adjust the position and firing angle of the skeleton cannon by squeezing its own bones.
The Skeleton Cannon lives up to its name. Not only does it have a longer range and greater lethality, it also has a wider explosion range.
If such Death Patrollers had attacked before, not to mention three, even one would have been enough for Gavin to drink a pot.
This is not that kind of dead thing, but is integrated with the Death Patroller. It can not only attack targets in the distance, but if it is shot in person, it will not die but will be disabled.
The road blesses and the origin is strengthened.
All of these must be mounted on the elite death hunter, and then he competed with another death hunter on the same stage.
The results can be imagined.
Death Hunter No. 1 was beaten so hard that he couldn't find his way back.
The Death Stalker is huge and not known for its agility, so it is easily targeted by long-range attacks.
With one shot, not only was a big crater made at the location where the bullet was hit, but a layer of skin also peeled off from the surrounding area, and countless corpses were forcefully thrown away.
Just by rushing in front of the elite Death Patrollers, a layer of skin has been peeled off, and there is no advantage in close combat.
The elite Death Stalkers come and bombard you in the face at every turn, and no one can stand it.
The speed of absorbing corpses to restore blood is far less fast than shelling and removing skins. Coupled with the original melee attack, it is full of lethality.
The death hunter's sacrifice was not in vain. After becoming an elite, the death hunter has begun to approach the land cruiser.
What will the Super Death Stalker look like?
Don’t think about it in the short term. Four in one is a bit too luxurious.
For now, the Elite Death Stalker is enough.
With these two killer weapons in hand, Gavin's strategies and tactics became obviously more unrestrained, and he began to attack the soul pools head-on.
Coupled with the super soldiers led by the skeleton tauren lord, none of the low-level undead lords can withstand the ravages of the death hunter and will soon be killed in front of the soul pool.
Those who are valuable accept adaptation and become part of the regular army.
Without value, even the soul pool may be purified and recycled, let alone those low-level undead lords.
As the number of low-level undead lords in his hands increased, Gavin could pick and choose, recruit the best, and form two legions one after another.
The configurations are all very similar. An undead lord who is good at leading troops leads two men who are suitable for charging into battle. The strength of the troops is maintained at about 10,000.
In the process, another special type of soldier that is common in the Plains of Bones was unlocked - zombies.
Compared to skeleton soldiers, this type of soldier has rough skin and thick flesh. After evolution, its abilities are also quite explosive.
The elite are called plague zombies. They not only attack, but also have strong plague corrosive toxins all over their bodies. Once they are attacked, not only will they become sick with the plague, but even their teammates may be infected.
The super soldier is even more ferocious, and has activated a self-destruction ability, which will turn the flesh and blood corpses carrying the plague into shock waves, forming a poisonous mist cloud. The impact is not very lethal, but the subsequent lethality is full. .
Whether they are hit by shock waves or enveloped by poisonous fog and poisonous clouds, they may suffer from infectious diseases.
Even in a plane with magical medical treatment, infectious disease is a very troublesome and disgusting attack method.
Because the cost of treatment will far exceed the cost of transmission, and the speed of treatment will be far lower than the speed of transmission.
Many times, in the face of large-scale epidemics, even extraordinary priests are powerless and watch countless people die in droves.
But in the Abyss, especially the Plains of Bones, the ability of plague zombies is greatly reduced, and they are not as useful as skeleton soldiers. After all, the undead are not afraid of poisonous diseases.
In order to postpone the conflict with the four high-level undead lords, Gavin repeatedly adjusted the development direction of his territory. After obtaining a new skeleton tauren pool, he gave up even the original one and began to skeletalize it. transferred to the depths of the plain.
This abandonment is strategic in nature.
Not only had most of the soul power here been drawn away, but Gavin did not destroy and purify some strategically valuable soul pools, and even the bone path was retained.
When necessary, he will follow these bones and make a comeback.
With the injection of killing divinity and a steady stream of soul power, these soul pools will once again become their own war frontier in the blink of an eye.
In the constant battle, the murderous divine power and the undead army in Gavin's hands grew like a snowball, and soon the second round of strengthening the godhead began.
This time Gavin was fully prepared.
This kind of preparation is not only for the troops, but also for the battlefield and the enemy.
When the battlefield and enemies are carefully selected by Gavin, how can there be a possibility of defeat?
That was just a new round of gift packages given to him by the Bone Plains.
The whole war can be said to be uneventful. Everything was carried out according to Gavin's plan. In the process, he used the same method to acquire two Death Patrollers and three corpses. hound.
Before the war, Gavin had considered finding them and bringing them under his command in advance to reduce variables.
But finding them is the most difficult thing in the vast bone plain.
Because most of the time, they will turn into a pile of corpses and pile up near the soul pool, which can be easily ignored even by aerial reconnaissance.
Unless you encounter them during territory expansion like you did at the beginning, or get accurate information from other low-level undead lords, you can be targeted.
Gavin's luck was neither good nor bad. He acquired a Death Patroller and a Corpse Hound along the way.
According to the life dice, Gavin paired the remaining Death Patrollers with the Corpse Hounds one by one, transforming them all into elite units.
Under Gavin's intervention, the Corpse Hound gave up on evolving into a two-headed Corpse Hound, and also opened a huge skeleton cannon in his body, right in the mouth of the Corpse.
The abilities of the two corpse monsters are almost the same, but their combat styles are extremely different.
Death Patrollers are good at positional defense warfare, waiting until the enemy comes to their doorstep, even if they have the skeleton cannon.
The corpse hound is good at mobile warfare, especially good at firing close to the face, firing from dozens or even ten meters away.
At this distance, it is very difficult to completely avoid the bombardment of the skeleton cannon.
One thing that surprised Gavin was that the strengthening of the godhead was not static.
In addition to advanced troops, the other two options are different from the last time.
Territory expansion (special ability) - The upper limit of the territory's troop capacity is increased by 1.5 times. This ability can be selected repeatedly and will have a superimposed effect.
Enhanced Soul Pool (Special Ability) - All soul pools in the territory will be strengthened, the recruiting speed will be increased by 1.5 times, the chance of summoning special units will be slightly increased, and the soldiers' abilities will be increased. Small enhancement. (End of this chapter)
