Chapter 87 Cleaning Up the Corpses
"This is the first time I see someone who can be so excited about clearing out monsters." Yu Qiuyue complained, and then gave an order for the Flame-Desire Blood Falcon to spit fire even more violently.
"If you were me, you would be more excited than me." Xu Mu didn't want to debate too much with Tool Man No. 1. He only cared about how many spirit essences he had.
"Xu Mu, let's go into the Tomb of the Dead quickly, something is not right here!" Lingling tugged at the corner of Xu Mu's clothes, her little face full of a serious expression.
"Why do you say that?" Xu Mu asked puzzledly.
"Remember that Ning Moyuan mentioned that the cause of death was caused by the 'Towering Bone Minister'? I have a feeling it will appear nearby." Lingling said cautiously.
"It should be okay in broad daylight, right?" Xu Mu touched his chin, but he still chose to listen to Lingling's advice.
The towering bone minister is an undead corpse minister of the commander-in-chief level. Although he is not afraid of it, after all, he can run away. But if it really appears, his plan to enter the undead tomb will probably be ruined.
"Heavenly Punishment - Thunderbolt - Wild Dance"
I saw a dark cloud hovering in the sky like a giant beast, and then countless purple-red lightning bolts poured down like rain, mercilessly bombarding the undead on the ground and destroying them one after another.
In an instant, large numbers of undead fell in the wild dance of thunder and lightning, and the breath of death and destruction enveloped the entire hill.
"So powerful!" Yu Qiuyue's eyes sparkled, and she stared at the remaining purple-red lightning in Xu Mu's hand.
"Don't be dazed. Yu Qiuyue, have your summoned beast come with me to deal with the Shrouded Corpse General. Yu Mian, you go deal with those slave undead spirits."
Xu Mu gave the order quickly, and then rushed into the dark area filled with deathly aura without hesitation, with the Flame Desire Blood Falcon following him in the sky.
As soon as he stepped into this area where even the light was drowned by the aura of death, swarms of undead seemed to smell the scent of prey. They all raised their rotten heads and approached Xu Mu in a strange and agile posture.
"Get away from here!"
Xu Mu frowned, and with a thought, an invisible giant hand suddenly appeared, instantly killing more than a dozen undead.
Just as he was about to continue releasing telekinesis to clear out the undead blocking the way ahead, a blazing fist shadow that was twice as large as an ordinary Fiery Fist flew past and instantly turned the undead blocking the way into ashes.
"I'll deal with these slave undeads, you just charge forward." Ding Yumian's gentle voice sounded behind Xu Mu.
Xu Mu certainly believed the assurance of a victim, but he was rather timid. To be on the safe side, he used two thunder seals to condense a long sword in his hand, and chopped down anything that was in his way.
"Don't you trust me at all?"
Ding Yumian also saw the thunder-marked long sword in Xu Mu's hand, muttered softly, and then released the Fiery Fist skill to eliminate the undead.
The area shrouded in the aura of death was actually quite limited. Not long after, Xu Mu had rushed to the front of the three cloth-wrapped corpse generals.
Behind him was an even more spectacular pile of undead corpses.
Xu Mu decisively threw the unused Thunder Seal Long Sword at one of the cloth-wrapped corpse generals, and then immediately began to draw a star map.
He is very skilled in drawing star maps, and thanks to his natural talent, Xu Mu's magic casting speed far exceeds that of mid-level and even high-level wizards.
After a failed attempt to advance to a higher level in the Three-Step Pagoda, he entered the Land of Trouble and absorbed a few strands of its power, which made his connection with Xingzi even closer.
The ability to read the star map in one thought has already been mastered.
"Heavenly Punishment ~ Thunderbolt ~ Wild Dance!" Xu Mu's eyes flashed with purple-red electric light, and the magic star map under his feet appeared like a dream, but the sky was clear and cloudless, and there was no trace of purple-red thunder that symbolized destruction.
The three Shroud Corpse Generals were all a little confused. They had clearly sensed the aura of the intermediate magic just now, but why was there no movement? Did they fail?
Their confusion was fleeting. No matter if he failed or not, the right thing to do was to get rid of this human.
The shrouded corpses moved at an astonishing speed, instantly appearing in three different directions of Xu Mu. Their arms, which were as agile as those of living people, shook lightly, and the shrouds immediately shot out from their arms like spirit snakes, quickly wrapping around Xu Mu!
boom!
Just as the shroud was about to touch Xu Mu, purple-red thunder symbolizing destruction suddenly burst out from the ground, like the rage of the earth's core erupting, instantly submerging an area of dozens of meters in a sea of blazing electric light.
Thunder flashed, and arcs of electricity intertwined into a dazzling curtain of light. Countless lightning bolts lashed at the cloth-wrapped corpses like whips, accompanied by continuous crackling sounds.
When the thunder suddenly appeared, Xu Mu had already quietly moved out of the range of the thunder and lightning with the skill of the Shadow Boots.
"You don't even need my help, why did you call my little falcon over?" Yu Qiuyue's dissatisfied voice came from behind.
Xu Mu turned around and noticed that the three women had come steadily behind him, and the slave undead had almost been completely eliminated.
"How could I have known that these three cloth-wrapped corpses were so stupid that they would just rush up and take a full hit from me." Xu Mu spread his hands and said in surprise.
He originally thought that he would have to spend some effort to deal with these three cloth-wrapped corpse generals whose strength was close to that of a great battle general, but he did not expect that these three stupid corpse generals would just rush up and take a complete thunderbolt from him.
With its nine-fold power enhancement, the third-level thunderbolt is almost equivalent to a high-level first-level magic.
The power of thunder was difficult for the three shrouded corpse generals to resist. They were quickly torn apart by the thunder, their flesh exploded, and their undead crystals shattered.
"That should be the entrance to the Tomb of the Dead." Lingling said, pointing to a dark cave in the distance.
"Hey, where did this cave come from? It was all mud here just now." Xu Mu said as he walked towards the edge of the cave.
"It should be the thunder you cast just now that caused it. Ning Moyuan's second element is earth, and the entrance should have been buried by him. I didn't expect you to accidentally find it out." Lingling explained.
"Okay." Xu Mu accepted this and turned to everyone and said, "Let's recover our magic energy first, and then enter the tomb when we have enough magic energy."
Ding Yumian and Yu Qiuyue's magic energy reserves are comparable to those of ordinary people. Ding Yumian is fine. Thanks to the doubling of her attack range and the increase in the power of her elemental spirits, she can handle these undead with ease.
Yu Qiuyue's magic energy consumption is quite serious. The summoned creatures staying in the magic plane will continue to consume the caster's magic energy reserves.
Flying and fighting with the undead, the Flame Desire Blood Falcon stayed in the magic plane all the time, which greatly consumed Yu Qiuyue's magic energy.
In comparison, Xu Mu's magical energy reserves seemed quite abundant, possessing three times the magical energy of an ordinary person. Even after casting magic several times, his magical energy could be quickly restored.
"What are you doing?" Yu Qiuyue asked in confusion as she watched Xu Mu moving among the remains of the undead.
"I'm collecting spirits. With so many slave undead spirits, I should be able to find one or two among them." Xu Mu said without turning his head, continuing to focus on his search.
When the three cloth-wrapped corpses died just now, not a single spirit exploded, only three incomplete souls. He wanted to see if he could get some spirits back from other undead.
It is worth mentioning that although the soul vessels rewarded by the system fix the ratio of residual souls condensed into essence souls, it also has an advantage. As long as it is a residual soul, no matter whether Xu Mu killed it or assisted it, the vessels given by the system can be collected together.
