Chapter 347 Mutant Undead, Spider Mount?
To ensure everything went perfectly, Fang Zhou instructed Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang to check the arrangement of the magic array one last time, making sure that no detail was overlooked.
After completing the inspection, the three left the incubation room.
Sitting in his office, Fang Zhou glanced at Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang, and casually told them about his plans to take the grade-skipping exam.
Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang were stunned, as if struck by lightning.
After a long while, Bai Xiaochun finally reacted, and said with a pained expression, "Waaaaah, Fangzhou, are you going to abandon us?"
"If you skip to second grade, whose leg will I be able to cling to?"
Meng Hongzhuang blinked her big eyes and looked at Fang Zhou pitifully, saying, "Boss Fang Zhou, when are you planning to skip a grade?"
"Ever since you were promoted to apprentice and led Senior Brother Lu and the others to sweep through the apprentice-level shelter defense simulation battlefield, I haven't teamed up with you in a long time."
Fang Zhou looked up at Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang, who were nervously waiting for him to speak.
He cleared his throat and told his two assistants what he had heard from Instructor Lu Hu.
Hearing that there were still two or three months to prepare, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Fangzhou then comforted them, saying, "It's alright, you don't need to worry too much."
In another two or three months, I estimate that I will be able to break through the bottleneck and advance to Iron rank.
If you are still at the intermediate level of apprentices by then, you probably won't be able to offer me much help in terms of combat power.
Especially you, Xiao Chan.
Your triumphant song and lullaby have indeed helped me a lot by improving my mental recovery speed and soul nourishment speed.
However, once I reach the lower Iron rank, your current abilities will make it difficult for your apprentice-level buff skills to be effective.
"However," Fang Zhou said, then changed the subject, "although you may not be able to help me much in combat and cultivation, you are really excellent as my research assistants, oh no, I mean my research assistants."
You've all done a great job and worked very hard these past few months, and I've seen it all.
Come on!
I believe you will do even better in the future.
After saying that, Fangzhou lightly slid his finger across his personal terminal, symbolically awarding Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang ten contribution points each as an incentive.
Then he waved his hand, signaling them to continue their ongoing research.
Although we've already pushed the Brutal Aura and Resurrection skills to their apprentice-level limits, there are still skills like Soul Vision, Iron Wall Aura, Skeleton Domination, and Bone Blade waiting in line for further development and enhancement.
As his assistant, there is no room for complacency.
Deep within the Hill of Corpses, mist, like an ancient ghost, permeates the air.
The blood moon hung in the sky, casting a crimson glow that draped this desolate land in an eerie cloak.
On this land filled with the aura of death, a giant skeleton clone, nearly three meters tall, slowly surveyed the area.
Its body was covered in black and red armor, which was covered with sharp spikes.
A few days ago, Ark devoured three blue energy crystals, which made it even larger and more ferocious, like a demon from the abyss.
As it has grown to its current state, the oppressive aura emanating from the undead creatures on the skeleton clone has become increasingly apparent.
At this moment, dozens of skeleton servants are carrying out the task of netting a hunt beside the ark.
Their movements were swift and orderly, a stark contrast to the ark's enormous and terrifying size.
The Ark is located very deep inside the Hills of Corpses.
The undead creature resources here were originally exceptionally abundant, almost enough for the Ark to devour them freely.
However, as the Ark and its army of skeletons continued their hunt, prey in the area began to become scarce.
Left with no other choice, the Ark had to order its skeleton army to continue exploring deeper into the land, thus expanding the area for its net hunting.
Just then, a mid-tier Black Iron zombie broke into the Ark's perception range.
This zombie was unlike any other undead creature; it was enormous and moved swiftly, clearly a being of considerable strength.
Fangzhou's eyes immediately lit up, and a terrifying and fierce aura flashed across its body.
Compared to ordinary undead creatures that usually fight each other to the death, this skeletal clone, which specializes in hunting creatures of even larger size, appears far more ferocious.
The long-term hunting experience has imbued Fangzhou with an invisible, ferocious aura.
Although this fierce aura did not have a direct effect on the equally fearless undead creatures, it had a subtle but indescribable benefit on the necromancer clone who was engrossed in training at the military academy in Haicheng.
This fierce aura seemed to enhance his fighting spirit, making him more calm and ruthless when facing enemies, thus allowing him to advance further on his cultivation path.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, the mist that had been swirling around the ark dissipated under the impact of the terrifying aura, leaving the air filled with a chilling atmosphere.
A heroic charge.
Brutal and devastating blows.
The ark suddenly launched a charge.
With a deafening roar, the weapon in its hand drew a sharp black shadow in the air, instantly piercing the head of the bewildered zombie dozens of meters away, plunging it into eternal slumber.
After completely devouring the zombie, Ark looked up at the blood moon in the sky with some dissatisfaction.
Here, the sky above the Netherworld became even darker and deeper, and the occasional glimpse of the blood moon sent a chill down Ark's spine.
Looking around, this should be a large canyon, with an extremely high concentration of fog, containing about 30% more death energy than before.
The Ark led its skeleton army to continue their exploration.
An hour later, the scenery ahead began to change.
A faint purple glow emanated from the depths of the pitch-black canyon, resembling a river of the underworld stretching for kilometers, leading to endless death.
Even Ark, faced with such a scene, couldn't help but feel a chill.
Deep within the canyon, purple ores were scattered, emitting a faint glow, as if they were the only source of light in this darkness.
Among these ores, some strange undead creatures dwell.
These creatures have four pairs of long legs and a pair of huge pincers, and their shape is somewhere between a crab and a spider, making them both strange and terrifying.
They are numerous and their entire bodies are covered with thick carapaces.
The smallest are about half a meter long and wide, while the larger ones are about one meter long and nearly two meters wide when their four pairs of long legs are spread out.
The gray-black carapace gleamed with a metallic sheen, giving it a heavy and solid feel.
