140: Rescue and the Undead Skeleton Tribe

“So, what’s limiting our progress now is Star Power, right?” Jiang Yuan asked Shi Ji, sighing.

It’s either summoning all the Undead Enslavement and advancing together.

In that case, their progress would be very slow due to the slow speed of the Undead Enslavement.

Or, they could advance directly and only use skills to summon the Undead Enslavement when they encounter an opponent.

However, this situation would consume a lot of Star Power.

After all, the Jade Purification Bottle also needs time to restore Sweet Dew Water.

It has cooldown reduction.

In this situation, if they want to maintain full combat strength when encountering an opponent, they would have to wait until the Jade Purification Bottle’s cooldown ends.

One drop of Sweet Dew Water from the Jade Purification Bottle takes four hours to restore.

Shi Ji conservatively estimates four drops of Sweet Dew Water per battle.

If she wants to recover, it would take sixteen hours.

They can’t just wait in place for sixteen hours before moving on.

Moreover, this isn't even Shi Ji’s peak combat strength.

If Shi Ji were to reach her peak combat strength, she could achieve the level of Undead Bone Sea.

Her Bone Spirit Recall skill can be continuously cast as long as there is Star Power.

But the problem is, there isn't enough Star Power!

Unless there is a continuous source of Star Power recovery from a Card, only then can Shi Ji maintain her peak state.

However, Jiang Yuan currently has no clue.

He can only take one step at a time.

“The Undead Amplifier has a Card that can continuously restore Star Power, but it’s a bit slow.”

Shi Ji checked the five Undead skills she had just acquired, then said to Jiang Yuan, who was looking troubled.

Indeed, compared to Nezha, her Star Power consumption is greater.

But who made her a Skill Card Master?

Without relying on close combat, using skills naturally requires Star Power.

“That’s not bad. Should we depart immediately or rest for a bit?” Jiang Yuan nodded and asked Shi Ji.

“Let’s depart immediately. You’re still here, aren’t you?”

Shi Ji smiled slightly, then rode her Black Flame Bone Horse and galloped forward.

Nezha, seeing them make a decision, also chuckled, then accelerated with his Wind Fire Wheels and rushed ahead of Shi Ji.

“This mischievous child.”

Shi Ji chuckled lightly, naturally knowing Nezha’s intention.

Nezha taking the lead wasn't just because his close-combat strength was stronger, so there was no need to worry about his safety?

Shi Ji couldn't compare to Nezha in this aspect.

It’s true that Shi Ji gets stronger the more she fights in a place like the Undead Cave Heaven.

But if facing a sudden attack, Nezha would handle it better than Shi Ji.

However, the route Jiang Yuan chose was also good.

The Mixed Zone he chose was a plain.

Riding horses, there was nowhere for them to be ambushed.

But it would be different once they entered the Undead gathering place.

There were many places there that could be used for ambushes.

However, once inside, Jiang Yuan and the others naturally wouldn't be so arrogant as to gallop on horseback.

The most troublesome point for Jiang Yuan was that the Golden Horn Undead Clan’s gathering place was deep within the Undead gathering place.

Of course, if it weren’t for this point, Jiang Yuan wouldn’t have needed to take on this task.

Jiang Yuan looked at the two people in front of him, then patted the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast beneath him.

The Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast was very fast and instantly arrived behind Shi Ji.

Mu Qianshan did the same, driving his airship and following at the very end.

… …

… …

“Young Master, let’s leave quickly. This is a battlefield where we fight against terrifying humans!”

“Alright, I said it’s fine. My Star Epoch Late Stage time in the Xingji Cave is pretty good.”

An Undead Young Master with a handsome face, dressed in a black robe, and about 1.6 meters tall, patted his chest proudly and said to the person beside him.

The Undead beside the Undead Young Master was also only about 1.6 meters tall, hunched over, nervously scanning left and right.

“But they will tell the Master when they go back, and we will be punished when we go back.”

The Undead servant was still very nervous, pulling his Young Master and wanting to leave the Cave Heaven.

“What are you talking about? It took me so much effort to shake them off.”

The Undead Young Master’s face was filled with joy: “Besides, aren’t they still following along?”

The Undead Young Master pointed behind him; thirteen Undead guards also just looked at their Young Master helplessly.

They didn’t have the authority to forcibly take their Young Master back at specific times, unlike the guard captain who was shaken off outside.

So, in this situation, they could only dutifully protect their Young Master.

But fortunately, this was only a Xingji Cave, and the thirteen Star Epoch Late Stage Undead Race Warriors were still able to protect their Young Master.

As long as their Young Master didn't seek death by rushing into the human camp.

However, if the Young Master were to seek death, they would have an excuse to forcibly take him back.

Unlike now.

“Let’s go, let’s have a good look at what the battlefield is like!” The Undead Young Master was very excited and immediately ran towards the gathering place outside.

“Oh, Young Master, slow down!”

The Undead servant quickly followed, but his mournful face continued to scan around, wary of the surrounding Undead.

… …

… …

“So, logically speaking, you don’t really need to make a move in general situations.”

Jiang Yuan looked at Shi Ji beside him and said with a smile.

Didn’t Mu Qianshan and Nezha finish them off together anyway?

“Speaking of which, Mu Qianshan, I feel like you should focus on fighting those high-defense guys later.”

“Indeed.”

Mu Qianshan nodded. Just now, when he faced an ordinary Undead Shield Warrior, his Zifu Sword was chopping away, and then suddenly, with one strike, he instantly killed his opponent.

The Wonderful Method skill was triggered.

It has a chance to ignore the opponent’s defensive equipment.

And against the Undead, ignoring the opponent’s defensive equipment is equivalent to an instant kill, isn’t it?

Just like Nezha, once he breaks through the opponent’s defensive equipment, he can directly kill them.

The Undead’s physical strength is at most slightly stronger than humans.

But as long as it doesn’t reach the abnormal physical strength of the Mechanical Race.

Then they will be killed by the Fire Tipped Spear or the Zifu Sword.

Putting everything else aside, the sharpness of the Fire Tipped Spear and the Zifu Sword is very reliable.

Or rather, sharp weapons are all like this.

However, the Fire Tipped Spear and the Zifu Sword can be even stronger.

Speaking of which, the increase in physical strength only occurred after the body reshaping in the Sixth Realm Shi Shen.

Before the Sixth Realm, few people would be foolish enough to try to block a sharp weapon with their bodies.

Of course, this does not include races with strong physical strength like the Mechanical Race.

“Then the opponent’s Shield Warriors will be left to me. It would be great if the Wonderful Method could be triggered.”

Mu Qianshan said, and the looting was over.

It was still a five-person team.

However, the difference was that this time, the five-person team did not have a Summoner, but an Undead Skill Card Master.

Aside from that Shield Warrior, the other four Undead were killed by Nezha.

So, at this time, Shi Ji also gained four new Undead Enslavement.

After acquiring four new Undead Enslavement, she also reached the limit of ten.

The entire previous team had five Undead Enslavement, and then four more.

Plus the Black Flame Bone Horse beneath Shi Ji.

In total, there were ten.

“Slow down. I need a battle. During the battle, I will consider sacrificing a few of the Enslavement.”

Shi Ji rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuan.

Although she could fight without Undead Enslavement, the auxiliary effects of her Skill Cards were also good.

How could he say she didn't need to make a move?

“Alright.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, and then Shi Ji first summoned the Undead Amplifier.

After the Undead Amplifier appeared, Shi Ji unhesitatingly summoned the Undead Summoner.

Sacrificing the Undead Summoner to the Undead Amplifier.

Sacrifice can permanently enhance various abilities.

For example, the Undead Amplifier’s mental power is now stronger after gaining the Undead Summoner’s sacrifice.

In this situation, when he uses amplification Skill Cards, the effect will also be better than before.

Theoretically, if Shi Ji were to choose one of her Undead Enslavement for infinite sacrifice.

Although the sacrifice of Undead Enslavement cannot increase the strength of the sacrificed individual.

However, the enhancement of various abilities could potentially allow a First Realm Xing Ji Stage strength to fight a Twelfth Level Ximu.

Although the improvement in strength provides greater enhancement to various abilities.

But if it continues to stack indefinitely, then even at a low realm, the strength can reach a terrifying degree.

Of course, this was just Jiang Yuan's thought.

An individual's enhancement is limited when their basic qualities remain unchanged.

In other words, even if Shi Ji continues to sacrifice and strengthen the Undead Amplifier in front of her now, she will reach a limit due to the Undead Amplifier's basic qualities.

This limit can only be surpassed if one's strength breaks through and can accommodate more enhancements.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Ji summoned the Undead Amplifier she encountered in the second wave as well.

After using a Skill Card to restore her Star Power, Shi Ji immediately sacrificed this Undead Amplifier again.

Although both Undead Amplifiers had Skill Cards for restoring Star Power, one was white quality and the other was blue quality, so Shi Ji naturally knew which one to keep.

However, letting him use a skill before sacrificing him was making the most of him.

After sacrificing both, Shi Ji then had the remaining Undead Amplifier use the Star Power recovery skill on herself.

With two Star Power recovery skills applied simultaneously, Shi Ji immediately felt the difference.

Now, about half of her Star Power remained for backup.

Next, it was time to slowly move forward.

However, since Shi Ji had only summoned one, she could directly use Bone Spirit Recall to summon a Bone Horse to carry the Undead Amplifier.

While it would be possible to do the same when summoning other Undead Enslavement later, having one Undead Enslavement paired with one Undead Bone Horse consumed quite a bit of Star Power.

It would be better to let them fight once and then sacrifice them directly.

Shi Ji was now waiting for a battle to begin.

Although the Undead Amplifier's speed increased significantly after riding the Bone Horse, it couldn't compare to before.

After all, Shi Ji's Undead Bone Horse's speed couldn't even match her Black Flame Bone Horse, let alone Wind Fire Wheels and Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast.

Now, Jiang Yuan's team consisted of five 'people'.

It could barely be considered a small team.

"There seems to be a battle ahead?"

Nezha looked at the battle ahead with some excitement and turned to Jiang Yuan, saying.

This was the advantage of the plain.

Although there were ups and downs, high and low, battles could still be seen immediately.

"Let's go, let's help!"

Jiang Yuan made an instant decision.

In a Cave Heaven with only Humans and Undead, a battle occurring here was undoubtedly between Humans and Undead.

It wasn't like the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield where one could sit back and watch the tigers fight.

In this situation, they definitely had to go and help.

No matter who is fighting the Undead, we must go and help!

Everyone could distinguish between their own people and outsiders.

Nezha charged forward, and Shi Ji naturally accelerated as well.

The Undead Amplifier had already boosted Nezha's abilities before he ran out of the skill's range.

Two amplification cards, one increasing attack power and one increasing speed, were used.

Mu Qianshan also accelerated and charged forward, leaving only Jiang Yuan and the Undead Amplifier leisurely behind.

The Undead Amplifier couldn't run fast and couldn't charge forward.

As for Jiang Yuan, he had the self-awareness to know that rushing forward quickly wouldn't help, and Nezha and Shi Ji might even have to be distracted to protect him.

If that's the case, why rush forward?

However, as they got closer, Jiang Yuan also clearly saw the situation of both sides.

The two Humans were not in a very good state.

Looking at the three corpses lying on the ground, it was clear.

If Jiang Yuan hadn't arrived coincidentally, the remaining two probably wouldn't have lived much longer.

The other side was a team of seven!

It seemed there was also a special Undead?

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking at an Undead among the seven who held bone spurs in both hands.

Undead Bone race.

Like the Golden Horn Undead Clan, they were a special race among the Undead.

If the Golden Horn Undead Clan were more skilled in magic damage attacks and had strong spiritual power, then the Undead Bone race excelled in close-quarters combat and had powerful physical attack capabilities.

In Jiang Yuan's opinion, the Undead Bone race was similar to the Kaguya Clan in Naruto, able to use the bones on their bodies to attack.

"Haha, I'm here!"

Nezha roared excitedly, then directly smashed into the middle of the three Undead.

The three Undead were all long-range attacking professions, and they were momentarily at a loss when Nezha directly broke in.

However, their reaction was also very quick; the Undead Mage directly used a blue-quality card, Dark Bind, trying to catch Nezha.

Black shadows like ropes wrapped around Nezha.

But Nezha was unfazed, taking out that Undead Amplifier with two spear strikes.

Dark Bind tried to catch Nezha.

However, with the sudden burst of Samadhi True Fire on Nezha's body, Dark Bind became useless.

Nezha sneered, sweeping his Fire Tipped Spear horizontally, and although it was blocked by the bone armor on the Undead Mage's body, he was still sent flying.

Before he could land in the air, he was directly hit by the Twisted Bone Spear released by Shi Ji.

However, the bone armor on this Undead Mage's body was indeed astonishingly defensive.

Nezha and Shi Ji's two attacks only barely managed to shatter his bone armor.

At the same time Shi Ji launched her attack, the Undead Shield Warrior also appeared in front of the only two remaining Humans, holding a large shield to block the Undead Bone race's attack.

"Hazeli!"

The Undead Bone race member was also stunned to see the Undead blocking his attack.

He didn't understand why his fellow clan member would help the Humans.

However, the next second, he saw that the Undead Shield Warrior Hazeli's eyes no longer had the flickering of soul fire.

He understood.

His clansman was already dead!

As for why he appeared here now, he must have been controlled by the hateful Humans.

"Damn it!"

The young Undead Bone race member furiously swung the two bone spurs in his hands, venting his anger at the Undead Shield Warrior in front of him.

The two Humans protected behind the Undead Shield Warrior, although they didn't understand the situation, knew that someone was blocking the attacks for them.

However, the two young people, who didn't look very old, didn't turn and run.

After recovering some Star Power, one person directly used a Skill Card to launch an attack.

Fire-type white-quality Skill Card, Fireball!

The other person used an amplification Skill Card to increase the defense of the Shield Warrior in front of them.

A blue-quality card also appeared in the Undead Shield Warrior's hand, similarly increasing the defense of his shield.

At the same time, Mu Qianshan also charged over, and together with the Undead Archer summoned by Shi Ji, they took down the opposing archer.

Because the defensive equipment of Wonderful Method was not triggered, the final kill belonged to the Undead Archer.

Shi Ji quickly checked the skills of the newly arrived Undead Archer, then decisively sacrificed him.

The sacrificed Undead Archer's attack power became even stronger, and he directly shot at the Undead Race Warrior over there.

The remaining two opponents were Undead Race Warriors, and they were stopped by the Undead Archer as they roared and charged towards Shi Ji.

"That guy can turn our dead Undead into his people, be careful!"

The taller Undead Race Warrior used the blade in his hand to deflect the incoming arrow, then said to the Undead Race Warrior next to him.

However, Shi Ji didn't pay attention to their words; she was currently looking at the skills of the Undead Mage that Nezha had just taken down.

Shi Ji's expression was cold, and after looking at it, she unhesitatingly chose to sacrifice it.

It was useless.

Looking at the situation on the field, the Sweet Dew Water on Shi Ji's head also fell directly.

Shi Ji sacrificed all the subsequent Undead Enslavements one by one, leaving only one Shield Warrior and one Archer.

She had taken a liking to that Undead Bone race guy.

No Undead Race Warrior was as strong as a naturally born warrior like the Undead Bone race!

At the same time, the Undead Bone race also discovered the situation behind him.

He had seen Nezha's arrival.

But he didn't expect Nezha's combat power to be so strong, directly taking down one of his teammates.

He had planned to deal with these two Humans first!
