Just as Xu Lai expected, there were indeed pairs of prying eyes hidden in the shadows among the trees.
It was just a photo taken of Xu Lai and Xu Lai's angels. These eyes only dared to watch silently, not even daring to move.
Different from most people’s impressions of the undead, the more intelligent the undead are, the more cautious they are.
The land of death, the land of bones, the land of decay, none of the land belonging to the undead is good.
Living in these lands, in addition to being wary of the terrifying natural environment at all times, you must also be wary of other high-level undead.
In a land where life is almost impossible to live, those high-level undead are even more terrifying.
Those high-level undead are most interested in capturing low-level undead, especially those who have just been born with wisdom.
Ignorance is similar to a newborn baby. It does not have the rigidity of ordinary undead and cannot rebel against the control of high-level undead.
From such an environment, gradually growing up and becoming a high-level undead, I don’t know how many times more caution is required.
Hiding in the shadows is an undead bird called the undead raven.
Ravens are originally common familiars. They have a certain amount of magic power and are more likely to become undead after death.
The ravens hiding in the shadows are the eyes of the necromancers. Intermediate and below-intermediate detection techniques are not even qualified to discover them.
At this time, Xu Lai was counting the equipment on the undead hero.
Obviously, this guy is both an undead and a wizard. Regardless of his race, camp or occupation, he has nothing to do with Xu Lai.
None of this guy's equipment can be used by Xu Lai.
However, the equipment can still tell how this undead hero fights.
Amulet of the Undead: Intermediate treasure, the effect of spiritualism is increased by 5%.
Vampire Cloak: A high-level treasure, the effect of spiritualism is increased by 10%.
Spiritualism (Elementary): 10% of the enemy troops killed in battle become your own skeleton soldiers.
After the level of spiritualism is increased, the skeleton soldiers can be upgraded to skeleton warriors, but the number is only 2/3 of the skeleton soldiers.
Skeleton Breastplate: Intermediate treasure, spirit +3, physical defense increased by 35, the number of skeleton soldiers or skeleton warriors obtained after each battle is increased by 10%. (Only valid for skeleton soldiers and skeleton warriors)
Undead Shield*3: Magic equipment, adding a 200-point energy shield to the undead fire (can resist both physical and magical attacks)
Book of Darkness: Magic equipment, one-handed secondary weapon, Spirit +3, can increase the power of dark spells by 15%.
Death Raider Staff: Magic equipment, one-handed staff, Spirit +5, increases the power of dark spells by 5%, the duration by 5%, the control effect by 5%, and the casting range by 5%.
These are relatively typical. Other equipment may be better or worse. Most of them are life-saving or spiritual equipment.
Generally speaking, the equipment of this undead hero is not very good, but it is quite distinctive and more in line with his identity as an undead wizard.
Whether it is a wizard or a mage, it is obviously impossible to compete with professions such as warriors and knights.
Their strength growth is extremely low and they cannot afford heavy armor at all.
Their physical fitness and agility growth are also poor. They are destined to have poor health, defense and speed.
So human mages usually take the control or output route.
Either control the person until death, or simply kill you before you get close to me, similar to a turret.
But this necromancer is not that extreme, but involves all aspects.
The undead have no health value. They are not alive after all, but they have undead fire similar to the health value, and the durability of bones.
If there are no special instructions, there is no problem in treating them as health points.
Anyway, the durability of the skeletons has been worn away. Even if they are not dead, they cannot move. Without the help of the necromancer to resurrect them, they will basically be reduced to withered bones.
Only lichs are special. They have life boxes. Even if their health points are wiped out, it is not considered death.
The undead's dark spells can cause considerable damage. This undead hero can understand if he doesn't want to give up.
As a necromancer, summoning is the foundation of your life. Anything that can increase the effect of spiritualism must be brought regardless of the level of the treasure.
The undead amulet and vampire cloak are not of high level and are not difficult to find.
There are only higher-level Death Boots, which ordinary heroes cannot get at all.
As for the final artifact set, the only blueprints were with Sandro, and no one could get them together.
After being combined into an artifact, this set of equipment can transform skeleton soldiers into corpse witches and dark warriors.
Before this, no matter how high the level of spiritualism was, it could only recruit some skeletons.
It is nothing more than upgrading from skeleton soldiers to skeleton warriors, skeleton warriors, and up to skeleton shooters.
There is a huge gap between level 3 skeleton warriors, skeleton shooters, darkness ignorers, and corpse witches.
And looking at the equipment this guy is wearing, although the quality is average, if it is equipped with the ultimate spiritual summoning technique, how can it have a soul summoning rate of about 70%.
If combined with the spirit summoning tower in the cemetery building, or a hero with spiritualism skills, the spirit summoning rate can be easily increased to about 90%.
To be extreme, if you get it to 100%, basically every time you kill an enemy on the battlefield, you can add a skeleton soldier to your side.
High-level spiritualism can also recruit more powerful skeleton warriors and skeleton shooters with certain long-range abilities.
Of course, according to the information obtained by Xu Lai, every time the skeleton soldiers are upgraded to a level, the number will be lost by at least 10%.
As Xu Lai expected, not half of these equipment and treasures are usable.
Xu Lai was attracted by the undead shield. Although this thing has 0 defense, it has both physical and magical defense. The key is that it can be used in combination.
Unfortunately, this thing is also a customized version of the undead. It only protects against the fire of the undead and has no effect on living creatures.
The equipment is okay. Taking it back will allow the craftsmen to find ways to extract the materials.
As for treasures, they must either be exchanged with the undead heroes, or they can only be sent to places like altars to gain some experience.
Soon Giselle cleared away the rioting undead. It was possible that the undead belonging to the undead hero had been intercepted by other undead heroes.
Xu Lai and the others were only separated from the main force. They were less than ten minutes away and could catch up again soon.
However, to Xu Lai's expectation, until Xu Lai and the others arrived at Shenmu Castle, they never encountered the undead again.
This is obviously very abnormal. What stands out about the undead is their large number. How could there be no one on their territory?
The only possibility is that the undead behind the scenes deliberately controlled and let Xu Lai and the others go.
As for why, it might be that he wanted to trap Xu Lai and the elves to death together.
Or maybe the main force of the undead doesn't have time, and Sandru doesn't want to waste his strength on humans.
In short, the purpose of the undead is obviously to catch Xu Lai and the elves in one fell swoop.
But this has no impact on Xu Lai. He has a space ring and can receive supplies from Qingfeng City at any time. Although the undead don't want to eat, those bone sticks will wear out when moving. After all, they have no muscles.
These things require a lot of death power to maintain, and this is not a place of death for the undead, a place of bones.
On the contrary, this is the radiation range of the World Tree. The closer Xu Lai gets to the elves' territory, the more indescribable pleasure he feels in his body and mind.
Thanks to the blessing of this pure vitality, even the withered Green Forest has not completely died.
Those roots that are still rooted in the deep earth, and those dead trees that can still provide the phantom shooter with the spirit of wood, all prove that they are not completely dead yet.
In such a place with a large amount of life energy, the consumption of the undead is also extremely huge.
Apart from anything else, at least the effects of spiritualism on the undead are much suppressed.
And the closer you get to the World Tree, the more people will be suppressed.
Elves that cannot obtain supplies from a larger area may be consumed by the undead.
But Xu Lai can obtain supplies from the entire Qingfeng City and even the entire Eagle Kingdom.
When the time comes and we really work hard to consume, it is not certain who is afraid of who.
Of course, this may keep Xu Lai trapped in the elven hinterland for a long time, unless he is willing to leave the ring bound to his warehouse to others.
Shenmu City is very different from the imperial cities Xu Lai has seen. Even the Elf-style Stone City is very different.
In the final analysis, Stone City was built on the basis of a human fortress city.
As for Shenmu City, it is completely elven style.
The elves have more than one sacred tree city, there are four in total, located in the four directions of the Emerald Forest.
The reason why they are called Shenmu City is because their main structure is a root of the World Tree that spreads here.
Corresponding to the Shenmu City is the World Tree in the center, and the Elf King's Court built on the World Tree.
Wangting is a city comparable to or even larger than Lion Heart City.
However, the Elf Royal Court is built on the World Tree. The main roads and auxiliary roads are both branches of the World Tree.
Therefore, it may be far inferior to Lion Heart City in terms of area utilization and utilization efficiency.
Shenmu City and the Elf Royal Court are naturally incomparable. They are special cities built to protect the World Tree based on the roots of the World Tree that broke out of the ground.
The four sacred wood cities are guarded by a great druid.
In addition to a large number of tree spirit elders, each of these four cities has hundreds of ancient guardians.
You know, when the elves came to reinforce Xu Lai, they only sent one ancient guardian. This shows how much the elves attach great importance to the World Tree.
The elves expressed a great welcome to the arrival of human reinforcements.
Even though supplies were no longer sufficient, they still sent enough fruits, fruit wine, and fresh vegetables to Xu Lai and the entire Qingfeng Army.
There is no way, this is what the elves usually eat, otherwise they would not occupy such a large forest, but they would not get enough food.
Elves do not eat meat, but they pay attention to the harmonious development of man and nature and rarely eat meat.
Even if they eat meat occasionally, elves usually only eat enough to fill their bellies, and never kill for making bacon or the like.
The dwarves, on the other hand, never stop eating and drinking.
This is also where the elves dislike the dwarves, and it is also the main reason why more and more dwarf tribes are moving out of the forest.
Fortunately, although elves do not eat meat, they are very fond of human staple foods, such as rice, corn, flour, etc.
Learning that Xu Lai was the king, he personally led his troops to support him.
The Elf Queen, who has been guarding the World Tree, even sat in a teleportation array to greet her.
The Elf Queen is an extremely beautiful lady. Even Yu Lan and Elwe are probably inferior to this queen in appearance.
However, she is over 400 years old this year, and she has a daughter who is over 100 years old and looks like a yellow-haired girl.
And her husband, the prince of elves, had just died in the battle, so Xu Lai didn’t dare to flirt with her.
After meeting Xu Lai in a hurry, the Elf Queen couldn't even wait for the dinner to begin, and immediately got on the teleportation array and left in a hurry.
In order to show her sincerity, the queen kept her only princess to keep her company.
Unfortunately, although she is over a hundred years old, Xu Lai is not interested at all in this yellow-haired girl whose hair may not even grow out.
But this elf princess was very interested in Xu Lai and pestered Xu Lai to ask many questions during the dinner.
In addition to the Elf Queen, Xu Lai also met the Elf Envoy from before in Shenmu City, who was also the Elf Mage of the Elf King's Court.
Under the introduction of this elf mage, Xu Lai met Yin Mu, the archdruid who guarded Shenmu City.
But although Yin Mu is responsible for guarding Shenmu City, he is only responsible for the magic part.
The actual defense of Shenmu City is still the responsibility of the elf heroes.
The hero in charge of Shenmu City where Xu Lai is located, Ivo, is a level 30 elf general whose specialty is elf archer.
Under Ivo's command, all elf shooters will increase their attack and defense, attack, and movement speed by 10%, including Xu Lai's phantom shooter.
Of course, Xu Lai needs to transfer the control of these phantom shooters to Ivo first.
These phantom shooters were all trained by Giselle using human shooters, and they originally had nothing to do with elves.
But the special unit of phantom shooters can be trained by both human and elf shooters.
Therefore, after the training is completed, it will also be bonused by shooters from both elves and humans by default.
Among these heroes, there is also an old acquaintance of Xu Lai. When he was in the grassland, he took good care of Xu Lai.
It is a pity that ranger Kate, whose specialty is logistics and is mainly responsible for transporting supplies to and from several major cities, will not stay here for a long time.
The chief general under Ivo is Trishley, the commander of the Ranger Force.
Ever since we separated, I didn’t see her until Xu Lai entered the city.
Xu Lai himself is the most bothered by these red tapes. The elves attach great importance to etiquette. Unfortunately, the current situation is really embarrassing for them.
Not long after Xu Lai and the others entered the city, thick black smoke came from the forest that was open and bright before.
I heard from Arch Druid Yin Mu that this is a dark canopy made by the undead.
Shenmu City is protected by the World Tree, so there is no need to worry about being invaded by the dark sky.
Unfortunately, it was completely dark outside the Emerald Forest, and nothing could be seen. (End of chapter)
