"The male druid who was hostile to me just now is not from the Moonlight Society, is he?"
In a tunnel full of water.
Matthew asked, holding up his trousers.
"Of course, he is from the Earth Society. I have never seen him before. I guess Samantha asked him to come here to help."
Ella said happily:
"Luckily Samantha caught him!"
Matthew smiled:
"indeed so."
Ella obviously didn't hear what Matthew meant.
She chattered about the story of "Elai the Ancient Tiger".
…
"Eli is an orphan. A long time ago, his parents made enemies and were hunted to the west of the Watcher's Highlands near Stormwind Valley.
Eli's father died on the way to delay the journey.
And Eli’s mother hugged the infant boy and crawled into the tiger’s cave to avoid being chased by his enemies.”
…
"Unfortunately, his mother was injured and was dying after crawling into the cave. When she was dying, she saw a menacing but exhausted tiger.
Eli's mother said to the tiger: 'Eating me will satisfy your hunger, please let my child go!'
So the tiger silently ate her.
the whole process.
She didn't make any sound - maybe she fainted from the pain, or maybe she was already dead.
Anyway, Eli, who has childhood memories, witnessed this process.
It’s really unimaginable how he felt when he recalled this incident later!”
…
“After eating Eli’s mother, the tiger took Eli to the depths of the cave, where Eli found two tiger cubs that had not opened their eyes.
That's right.
The tigress had just finished giving birth. She was very weak and needed to replenish energy.
If it weren't for Eli's mother, she would probably have to go out of the cave to look for food. Even if Storm Valley is the tiger's territory, this is still a very dangerous thing.
The tigress regained her strength and began to feed her cubs.
Eli also has one.
I believe you can guess the following story. Eli was raised by a tigress and received the blessing of the God of the Earth in the process.
His first wilderness transformation was into a tiger, and later he mastered the transformation techniques of the 'saber-toothed tiger' and the legendary creature 'ancient tiger' through various adventures!
His fighting power is so terrifying that it cannot be measured by the normal third level, so people gave him a ‘title’ in advance that only a fourth level shapeshifter deserves – that is, the Ancient Tiger!”
…
Matthew nodded after listening:
"A very rough life experience."
"Then did he go to avenge his parents later?"
Ella thought for a while and said uncertainly:
"I don't know, there should be."
"Anyway, he is very powerful. If you encounter him underground in the future, you'd better go around."
Matthew said nothing.
His eyes were staring ahead.
All the skeleton soldiers stopped.
"Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick tock!"
The sound of dripping water in the cave to the left is disturbing.
And in that dead silence atmosphere.
The air in all directions suddenly became slightly restless!
"Matthew!"
Ella belatedly exclaimed:
"They're coming!"
But before she could finish her words.
Matthew's robe instantly puffed up and gathered up.
The next second.
He turned into a raven and flew away!
"Hey, Matthew, wait for me!"
Ella's voice was so anxious that she became hoarse.
She followed Matthew's example and landed on a horizontal stone pillar above.
When looking further down.
But one after another, rat-sized "Crazy Seer Larvae" emerged from the darkness.
They crawl like silkworms, covered in purple or green pus, and their speed is a little faster than ordinary people!
"Matthew——!"
Ella couldn't stop screaming:
"The most terrifying thing about Kuangse larvae is infection and parasitism. As long as you give them a little wound, they can parasitize on any living creature!"
"We're screwed!"
The battle situation below became increasingly chaotic.
Every skeleton soldier is flanked by a dozen larvae, eyeing them eagerly!
Just when Ella was worried.
Matthew finally spoke:
"Aside from infection and parasitism, what else can they do?"
Ella was stunned:
"Isn't this scary enough?"
Matthew looked at her like she was an idiot:
"It is indeed scary for living creatures, but my summons are all undead!"
"Can these bugs infest skeletons?"
As if to confirm Matthew's words.
Suddenly there was a sound of ‘Puff!’ from below.
The two looked down.
A larva as big as a fist crawled onto the knee of a skeleton soldier.
Its body shriveled up rapidly.
at the same time.
A large amount of pus emerged from the larvae's body and tightly covered the bones.
"Chirp chirp..."
A sound similar to the chirping of rats was heard, and more larvae gathered.
They were eager to try where the pus flowed.
But the next second.
A sharp sword fell from the sky.
Whoosh!
The sword blade sliced through the larvae's bodies like tofu, and the pus exploded like juice!
Skeletons require almost no skill.
He just slides his sword back and forth towards the place where the larvae gather, and a large number of larvae die!
When he was done, he touched his knees.
After wiping away the pus.
Its bones are as bright as new.
…
"Tip: Your summons are immune to the infection of the Zeran Larvae!
…
Your summon ‘Skeleton No. 3’ killed 13 Crazy Seer Larvae, and your XP +13 (experience has been saved...)”
…
The fight was lively down there.
Matthew sat on the sidelines and watched.
Summoning his younger brothers to fight while he hangs up while eating melon seeds next to him, this is the greatest fun of the Necromancer!
What's more, from the moment the first skeleton soldier raised his dagger, the outcome of this encounter was already planned——
As Ella said, the most terrifying thing about the raging larvae is their pervasive ability to infect.
In the face of this infection, high strength and toughness may not be enough to resist, and higher immunity may be needed!
This creature is a nightmare for all living creatures.
But it's different when it comes to undead creatures.
You can't parasitize a skeleton.
Without its biggest threat, the raging larvae are essentially no different from larger rats.
No matter how slow the skeleton soldiers react, they can still take away several of them with one sword when facing the swarm of insects.
What's even more interesting is that the raging larvae lack intelligence. They seem to be unable to judge the situation on the field and can only rely on instinct to act.
It was clear that the battle was already one-sided, but they were still pounced on the skeleton soldiers one after another.
So after just fifteen minutes.
There were hundreds of corpses of Kuangse larvae on the ground!
Matthew's skeleton soldiers were almost undamaged - I say 'almost' because one of the skeleton soldiers moved too much when cutting insects and twisted its ankle into an anti-joint.
But it's a skeleton.
So Matthew just twisted it back for him afterwards.
And after this battle.
Matthew found that the soul fire of most of the skeleton soldiers had solidified!
Undead creatures can also improve their power through fighting and killing, but the progress is less obvious.
Matthew is busy planting trees every day, so the skeleton soldiers naturally sit in the cold palace every day.
Now he finally had a chance to show off his skills, and Matthew was quite satisfied with the results.
…
"So this is the goddess's plan? The undead creatures seem to have natural restraints on the raging Zerg that caused the withering and ruin of this place!"
Matthew thought so.
He did not stay here for too long. After taking a short rest, he ordered A Bing to continue leading the team deeper.
Matthew himself was flying above with Ella, observing and commanding.
Smooth sailing all the way.
Except that on the third floor they encountered two Kuangse infected bodies transformed from humans.
The skeleton soldiers destroyed all the enemies without taking any damage and emptied all the insect nests along the way!
Although there were no big trophies, the dozens of gold coins occasionally dropped and the XP that allowed the skeleton soldiers to quickly upgrade made Matthew feel that the trip was worthwhile.
As for the two Kuangse infected bodies.
One of them was attacked by a soldier when they first met. The latter cut half of his body with a short knife, instantly rendering him incapable of fighting.
The other one got into a fierce fight with a skeleton soldier. The two sides fought fiercely. The power of Kuangse's infected body was astonishing. By the time A Bing and other skeleton soldiers came over, the skeleton had been torn apart.
eight.
This was also the first battle damage Matthew encountered while exploring this cave.
…
"What should we do? Matthew, you are missing a skeleton, do we still want to move on?"
Ella asked nervously.
Their current location is close to the entrance to the fourth floor.
According to Ella.
Starting from the fourth level, this kind of madness infection will become common - of course, not all of them will be infected by human beings, but more of all kinds of animals.
The Kuangse infected body possesses the infection ability of larvae, as well as powerful strength and good hand-to-hand combat skills. It is recognized as a troublesome thing by other druids.
"Where's the missing skeleton?"
Faced with Ella's inquiry.
Matthew laughed softly, then he took out the deadwood staff and chanted in a low voice to one of the Crazy Se-infected bodies.
quickly.
Under Ella's surprised gaze.
A shambling skeleton soldier stood up from the pool of red and green blood.
"So as long as there are corpses, you can continue to summon skeletons, right?"
Ella stared.
"That's right." Matthew added in his mind: the key still depends on the upper limit of the summoned object.
"Okay, let's just use evil to defeat evil..."
Ella murmured.
Matthew looked at her silently.
She quickly said:
"Then let's go to the next floor quickly!"
Matthew shook his head:
"No, today's mission ends here."
Ella was stunned:
"Why? Did what I just said offend you? Well, I'm sorry Matthew, I apologize to you. Now I can finally understand the wisdom of the goddess. Necromancers are indeed better suited to destroying bugs than druids!"
Matthew yawned:
"No, it has nothing to do with that. There are only four hours left before dawn. I have to go home and go to bed now, and I have to get up early tomorrow!"
"Get up early? Why are you getting up early?"
Ella didn't know why.
"Plant trees!"
Ma Xiu is confident and confident.
"You don't know that that's my job, right?!"
…
At dusk the next day.
Matthew simply turned away the eager Ella.
He sat down by the bed.
A Bing's figure slowly emerged in the corner of the room.
Matthew checked the progress of the tree planting task.
He worked overtime very hard this past week and planted a total of 104 trees, which naturally corresponded to 10 strengthening opportunities.
He didn't hesitate and threw everything on A Bing!
Ten rays of light flashed in succession, and A Bing's level was upgraded three levels in a row, reaching LV9!
There are also seven new keywords added.
Four of them have blue sky and white clouds.

"Your summoned soldier has obtained the keywords: stealth attack (blue)/poison quenching (blue)/farming skills (white)/cub nurturing (white)"
