Chapter 11 The Resurrected Undead
After another whole day, Lin Yi finally cleared the entire forest.
Except for a few Warcraft monsters that escaped, all others died in Lin Yi's hands.
A total of more than 6,000 energy crystals were harvested.
"This harvest is not as good as yesterday!"
Yesterday he wiped out the swarm of vampire mosquitoes.
He harvested thousands of energy crystals just from those vampire mosquitoes.
After all, the area of this forest is not large, and it is difficult to carry more Warcraft monsters. Except for the vampire mosquito swarm, he has not found any other large-scale Warcraft monster territory, so today's harvest is less.
"We need to hunt somewhere else tomorrow."
"The area of the City Lord's Mansion is tentatively determined."
The City Lord's Mansion is located northwest of the inner city ruins.
Lin Yi chose the City Lord's Mansion mainly not because of how many Warcraft monsters there were, but because the treasury of the Elf Empire was in that location.
At the same time, that area was also the most prosperous area in the entire ancient city ruins.
Although thousands of years have passed and most things have decayed and disappeared with the passage of time, Lin Yi still wants to try his luck.
What if the goddess of luck favors me and encounters a treasure that has escaped the sanctions of time?
…
Lin Yi walked out of the woods.
Seeing that it is getting late, the night is coming.
He gave up the idea of continuing to hunt and rushed towards the territory.
This place is still several kilometers away from the territory, and a large number of undead creatures will appear at night.
He doesn't think he should be bold and talented.
Even if you want to hunt at night, you have to be in the surrounding area of the territory.
On the way back, Lin Yi suddenly heard the sound of fighting.
I thought I had encountered a hunting elf team, but when I went to take a look, I discovered that the two parties fighting were actually undead and Warcraft monsters.
It was dozens of undead knights encircling and suppressing a group of giant swamp rats.
There are hundreds of giant swamp rats, more than ten times the number of undead knights.
But it was the rats that suffered the massacre.
Those undead knights are all high-level undead.
Their lowest level is level seven, and one even reaches level nine.
The undead knights can kill a large number of swamp rats with one charge. A giant swamp rat wanted to break out, but was unable to move faster than the knights, and soon fell into a pool of blood.
Within a few minutes, the battle was over.
Dozens of undead knights, no one was injured or killed.
The rats were completely wiped out.
After dealing with the rat swarm, the undead knights quickly left and disappeared into the dim ruins.
Shortly after the undead knights left, another undead creature holding a bone staff and wearing tattered robes appeared. It waved the bone staff in its hand, releasing a dark green light that enveloped the battlefield.
In just a few seconds, the hundreds of dead swamp rats on the ground stood up again.
But the difference from before is...
At this time, some of them have turned into skeletons.
Some turned into carrion.
They were transformed into undead creatures!
“Necromancer!”
Lin Yi's expression became a little serious.
In the past two nights, he and the elves under his command killed a large number of undead creatures. But neither a high-level undead knight nor a similar undead magician has ever been encountered.
The ones I hunted before were just ordinary undead.
Generally low-level, and a few are intermediate.
Now, I saw dozens of high-level undead at once.
"It must be because of the passing of the old tree that the evil and dark forces below the ruins are no longer suppressed, so powerful undead are gradually born."
"I have to speed up the development of the territory."
"We can't let these undead creatures get ahead of us."
"Otherwise, let alone cleaning up the entire ruins of the ancient city, the undead creatures in the inner city alone would be enough for me to drink."
Who knows if in a while, king-level or even extraordinary-level undead creatures will be born in the inner city? In front of the old tree, this level of undead is nothing.
But for Lin Yi now, that is a big trouble.
Not far away, the undead mage was preparing to leave with hundreds of resurrected undead giant rats. Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately threw a flame spear over.
The spear of fire pierced the space.
In an instant, the undead magician was pinned to the ruins of the building behind him.
The blue flames swept through the whole body.
Soon the necromancer was burned to ashes.
As soon as the undead magician died, the undead giant rats immediately turned into headless flies, scurrying around.
After Lin Yi killed most of them with the fire wall technique and fireball technique, he allowed the scattered undead giant rats to escape into the darkness.
They are all just bastards and low-level monsters, and there is no point in chasing them.
Just kill the necromancer.
This undead creature is a greater threat on the battlefield than the group of undead knights.
Because it can resurrect the dead souls killed in battle.
As long as the soul fire of the undead creature is not completely extinguished, even if it becomes fragments, the necromancer can use magic to combine them to form a new soul fire and then resurrect the dead souls.
After cleaning the battlefield, Lin Yi went straight back to the territory.
"The elf hunting team should all be back."
"Go and see what their harvest is like today."
"If there are enough energy crystals, upgrade the ancient war tree and unlock more powerful elf arms!"
…
Shortly after Lin Yi returned, the elves who went out for hunting also returned one after another.
Just like yesterday, many elves were carrying bulging leather packages. The difference is that today's packages are more numerous and larger.
As usual, the personnel were counted.
No elven troops were killed, but a few were wounded.
After questioning, they learned that they encountered a powerful enemy while hunting.
Some were attacked by high-level Warcraft monsters, while others, like Lin Yi, encountered high-level undead creatures.
The latter constitute the majority.
"Sure enough, my guess was correct."
"Powerful undead creatures are gradually reviving."
Lin Yi knew that the plan to upgrade the ancient war tree was urgent.
Not only does he need to expand the size of the elf team, but he also needs to have stronger elf troops.
For now, upgrading the ancient tree of war is the only shortcut.
Soon, an elf handed over the counted loot to Lin Yi.
"Your Majesty, today we harvested a total of 53,749 energy crystals and 352 magic cores. In addition, a team found this in the ruins..."
As he spoke, the tall elf took out a gray-black magic book.
The magic book is made of unknown magical beast skin.
Overall it looks very heavy.
Lin Yi took the magic book and opened it.
The purpose of magic books is mostly to record knowledge, or magic skills, pharmaceutical experience, blacksmithing skills, etc. With the help of magic books, practitioners can understand and master it faster.
Generally speaking, as long as the spiritual consciousness is connected to the magic book, the information recorded in it can be obtained.
The magic book found by the elf team records magic skills.
This is exactly what Lin Yi urgently needs now.
But unfortunately, most of the inner pages of the book were eaten by insects, and most of the inner pages were even missing. The magic circle used to establish spiritual connection has also been damaged long ago and is almost useless.
"What a pity."
Lin Yi was about to return the magic book to the elf and let him take it away and deal with it as he pleased.
The system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[The host can consume energy crystals to repair damaged magic books. 】
[Not just magic books, most damaged items can be repaired at the cost of consuming energy crystals. The higher the level of the item, the greater the cost. 】
