Chapter 76 Successful advancement, level soaring!

…

The Abomination is a powerful and evil undead creature.

The birth of every abomination is full of pain and anti-human nature. They are terrifying deformed creations and a true reflection of human beings' own fear.

Each abomination's image is very different.

The head that appeared in front of Matthew had seven heads, with six small heads surrounding the largest one in the center. If you looked at it from a distance, someone might mistake the six heads on his neck for his head.

Recognize it as jewelry such as necklaces.

His limbs are tied together by multiple human thighs or calves. There is a bloody mouth emitting yellow smoke on his belly, which is covered with jagged fangs. From time to time, a hand will emerge from it.

, perhaps because of being in the abdomen of hatred for many years, that hand showed an unhealthy gelatinous state and looked extremely smooth.

Everywhere on Abomination are sutures that symbolize his origins.

No matter how disgusted he was with this anti-human creation, Matthew had to admit that he created this abominable necromancer with great skill.

Her tailoring level must be above master level!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to sew such a perfect wound.

Matthew looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't find the thread of the suture!

besides.

Except for the mouth on its belly that kept spraying sulfur, there was no pus or odor leaking from other parts of the abomination.

This is almost a perfect abomination!

"Apart from the fact that it was filled with the lives of Jango people...oh, and Naga?"

When he got closer, Matthew noticed that there was a big snake tail behind his buttocks. It was made of three Naga's private parts sewn together, and it looked a bit like a braid.

Hatred actually has a tail!

What kind of outrageous aesthetic is this?

Matthew couldn't help but doubt the mental state of the necromancer named Dania.

But he quickly dismissed these messy thoughts in his mind.

The emergence of hatred is crucial to Matthew. It is both an opportunity and a challenge. There are two opportunities:

First, although Night of the Dead is the simplest way to advance, there are no strict requirements for what happens to necromancers and the undead at night.

But if there are high-level undead in charge that night, Matthew will have the opportunity to gain a large amount of negative energy affinity.

His affinity for negative energy has never been high, and he often needs to borrow the power of negative energy stones. This is an excellent plan to make up for it.

Secondly, if I can get along well with this abomination, then I will live a very comfortable night.

The bullying and fear among the undead is actually engraved in their bones.

No one would offend a necromancer with a cloak of hate.

Not even the perverted zombie that was just driven away.

So when hatred comes closer.

Matthew couldn’t wait to get up and greet him:

"Good evening, Mr. Hateful."

The abomination didn't seem to be fully awake. Facing Matthew's solicitude, he just snorted heavily.

His eyes drifted to the small objects on the ground.

Without saying a word, Matthew quickly took out the head of a little lemur from his magic bag and offered it to him with both hands:

"Those low-grade goods are not worthy of you. I have specially prepared high-grade goods here for noble adults like you."

The big head of hatred has not yet reacted.

The little heads below all praised each other and said:

"This necromancer is a sycophant!"

"He's afraid we'll eat him!"

"I like his attitude. If only he could bend down a little more when bowing, I could see his..."

Snapped!

Hatred angrily slapped the open little heads one by one with his right hand:

"Don't scream, don't scream, it's making my head buzz!"

Said.

He unceremoniously took the little lemur's head from Matthew's hand and stuffed it into his mouth on his stomach.

Click, click, click!

There was a sound of chewing, and the bloody mouth no longer emitted sulfur.

"I want that one more!"

Hatred of going his own way, he walked to the stall and poked with his thick fingers, not knowing which one he was referring to.

"You can take it yourself."

Matthew's face was full of flattery, as if he had become the waiter of the undead.

The most interesting part of the Night of the Dead is also here. The necromancers who usually call around the undead are forced to accept the former's troubles on this night.

It is actually difficult for many mages to let go of their arrogance. They are unable to compromise with their daily slaves, which ultimately leads to failure in advancement.

But Matthew didn't have this kind of baggage at all. He was already very patient, but when he got really unhappy, he simply imagined that the undead were all Peggy.

In this way, no matter how severe the punishment is, you can endure it by gritting your teeth.

Abomination was picking at the stalls while the other undead remained motionless.

After a while, he picked a lucky rabbit's foot, two gray wolf cecae, and a bat tooth.

"I want all of these!"

Hate said gruffly.

Matthew nodded and bowed:

"Absolutely, Mr. Hateful."

The face in the center showed a look of satisfaction. He was just about to find a comfortable place to lie down when suddenly, a little head on his neck intervened:

"The necromancer just said that one person can only take one piece. If you take more, it is a foul."

Hatred looked at Matthew with doubt:

"Yeah?"

Matthew nodded:

"There is indeed such a rule, but you are not among them."

Hatred said somewhat unhappily:

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I don't like to be special."

Matthew's expression froze, but fortunately he reacted very quickly:

"This is not to be special, it is because you are not a person. And they are indeed the same person."

After hearing this, Hatred thought for a moment:

"you're right."

He conveniently punched the interfering man in the head, and then strode toward the stall:

"I have a lot of people on me, I need to get a few more."

Matthew kept smiling throughout.

These little things were not valuable, and Hate took as much as he liked, not to mention that he wasn't too outrageous, he just picked away half of the things on the stall.

Then he found a comfortable place near the incense burner and sat down, playing with those little things with great interest.

Matthew actually still had a lot of inventory in his luggage, but he didn't take it out immediately, he just watched quietly.

With Hate on their side, the other undead were much more reserved, and they were not even willing to speak.

If there was no incense burner, they might have left long ago.

Matthew watched with cold eyes, knowing what was going on.

After a while.

The rattling sound in his stomach of hatred came to an end, and Matthew immediately said gently to the zombie lady who was in a daze aside:

"Can you send this to Mr. Hateful?"

He took out another head from his bag.

This time it belongs to the little devil, and it is also a spoil of war from the last battle.

Miss Zombie seemed to be easy to talk to. She nodded in agreement and walked towards Abomination while holding the little devil's head.

She didn't care about her hatred and directly stuffed her head into the mouth on the latter's belly.

Click click click.

Another new round of chewing sounds sounded.

Hatred looked at her with satisfaction:

"Oh, thank you! Beautiful lady. Your gentleness reminds me of my deceased wife."

Miss Zombie asked stupidly:

"Wow! What's her name?"

Hatred sighed deeply:

"Sorry, it's not that I can't remember her name, but I have too many wives. Of course it's not what you think. In fact, we are all loyal, but you have to understand that I am a member of more than thirty categories.

Human beings are a weird patchwork of creatures, so it’s natural that I have many dead wives. As for which one specifically, I’m sorry, I don’t know where to start.”

Miss Zombie exclaimed:

"Wow! So awesome!"

Abomination chuckled, and actually touched Qiu Quan's head in embarrassment.

Matthew noticed that the other six heads were silent at this time, looking timid and shy, which was completely different from the previous scene when they were rushing to interrupt during the conversation with Matthew.

While they were talking, Matthew carefully observed the state of the other undead.

They should all be Daniya's former subordinates.

After Daniya left, they lost their owner and suffered from a certain degree of negative energy deficiency.

Such as Miss Zombie.

Her skin is extremely dry, unlike a normal zombie whose body surface is always wet.

This shows that the negative energy in her body is not enough to lock in moisture.

If things go on like this, she will become a mummy and her combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Other people have similar symptoms.

Only Hatred is unaffected. This is because his level is as high as sixteen and he can directly communicate with the negative energy plane.

In order to make these undead more stable, Matthew reluctantly took six negative energy stones and placed them next to the incense.

This move greatly increased the favorability of the undead present towards him.

Over there, Miss Zombie seemed to have ended her conversation with Mr. Hateful.

She returned to Matthew blankly.

The night is getting darker.

More and more undead are approaching.

They were frightened by the aura of hatred, and most of them sat down obediently on the outside.

Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, Matthew cleared his throat and said to the undead present:

"I once heard someone tell a story about a headless horseman and a flying ghost falling in love. Are you interested in hearing it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the silence of the Night of the Dead was broken and the thoughts of all the undead were attracted.

Ms. Zombie was the first to support her.

She looked at Matthew doubtfully:

"The Headless Horseman has no head and the Flying Ghost has no body. How can they be together?"

Matthew smiled and asked:

"Is this important? Do we have to have similar bodies to be together?"

With that said, he gave Miss Zombie another head and asked her to continue feeding the abomination.

The undead people all looked thoughtful.

Suddenly a skeleton stood up:

"I don't think it's important. We are all dead. You can love as much as you want. Why should we follow those rules?"

The skeleton's views won the approval of many undead.

But there are also zombies who object:

"This is not a matter of rules and regulations, but a matter of specific operations. If the operation cannot be realized, then what is the meaning of their love?"

Although the number of people supporting this zombie is not large, their voices are loud.

For a while, the two sides were exchanging words, and it gradually became lively.

Matthew smiled slightly when he saw this.

His purpose has been initially achieved.

The more the undead quarrel, the happier he will be, as long as they don't start fighting.

But now as long as Matthew licks his hatred comfortably, no one will dare to do anything on his territory.

After arguing and arguing, the undead present were divided into two groups, one group was the Skeleton Party, which was overwhelming in numbers;

A group of zombies with extremely loud voices.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions and couldn't argue.

After arguing for a while, Hatred suddenly asked:

"Can you sew them both up?"

Matthew couldn't keep up with his train of thought for a moment:

"what do you mean?"

Abomination explains:

"If we could sew the two together, wouldn't they be together?"

The undead fell silent.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of Abomination's strength, or I'm stunned by Abomination's train of thought.

Matthew rolled his eyes:

"This... is indeed a solution."

"However, there is another problem facing the Headless Horseman and the Flying Ghost Head. That is that they had different tendencies to be picky about the taste of food. The Headless Horseman liked to eat sweet food, and the Flying Ghost Head liked to eat salty food.

.”

This time, don't wait for him to initiate the instigation.

The undead were noisy again.

But this time, they broke the shackles of race. The Skeleton Party and the Zombie Party, which had just been established for less than an hour, disbanded and turned into the Salty Party and the Sweet Party.

Matthew was overjoyed when he saw this.

This is the ultimate paddling move he prepared for the Night of the Dead!

With so many undead, it would be too tiring for Matthew to have a heart-to-heart talk one by one. Moreover, when chatting with a certain undead, the others would suddenly get into a thunderstorm.

It's not okay to remain silent all the time. That would not be in line with the purpose of in-depth communication between the two parties in Night of the Dead.

A more mature approach is for the necromancer to serve as the host and guide the undead to discuss the topic.

This trick is not unique to Matthew.

But I learned it from the Necromancer in White Rock City.

The only topic for discussion was prepared by Matthew himself, and he had only one selection criterion - the more likely it is to provoke a fight, the better!

If the group of undead in front of him were netizens from the past life, Matthew might just throw out a certain game as a big move to start the war.

That way I can probably survive the entire Night of the Dead and still be rich.

certainly.

The war-inducing method is not omnipotent. If you want to use this method to survive the Night of the Dead, you must have a big brother by your side who can control the situation.

This is also the fundamental reason why Matthew is so lovable and hateful.

also.

In terms of chat content, the undead actually have many taboos.

This is also the reason why Matthew doesn't want to say more. If he says too much, he will make mistakes. If something makes the hateful brother unhappy, all the efforts he made that night will be wasted.

In this case.

The Necromancer of White Rock City also has a method that is almost cheating.

They will find a powerful undead before the Night of the Dead - this undead must be a high-level being with wisdom like Peggy. They call this kind of undead "the middleman".

Necromancers will make prior deals with middlemen.

The two parties have agreed on a time and place, and after the Night of the Dead begins, the intermediary will forcefully enter the ceremony site with the attitude of being "accidentally attracted", so that nothing goes wrong.

How mature is this cheating process?

Baiyan City officials even have a service that specializes in renting out "middlemen"!

This is also one of the reasons why Baiyan City can produce high-level necromancers in batches.

It's just that there is a price for taking tricks, and the advancement completed by taking shortcuts will usually only be the weakest level.

Matthew naturally looked down upon him.

He was confident that he could pass the night beautifully with just one mouth.

Xu Shi didn't speak for a long time, and the undead seemed very active. Except for the hated eldest brother, almost everyone else was expressing their opinions.

Matthew felt a lot more relaxed because of this, he only needed to control the field.

"What you said makes sense, but what if the Headless Horseman is unwilling? What I mean is that although he is a male and once had male characteristics, he is now an undead soul after all."

"Miss Flying Ghost Head has a good temper, but she is always insecure and can't stand the Headless Horseman who often stays out at night. She also suspects that the Headless Horseman actually has a head, but he hides his head and uses that

Go and look for flowers and willows with your head..."

"You are right, Fei Guitou has always been known for his ugly appearance, but are ugly people destined not to find true love? If you really can't meet the right one, why can't you wait? What if you do?"

Along with one sentence after another of soul torture inserted by Matthew at the right time.

This undead debate conference was constantly pushed to one climax after another.

If it weren't for the hateful brother who would often say "Can we sew them together?" to ruin the atmosphere of the scene.

Matthew can probably keep a conversation going all night long!

But nevertheless.

Time also passed by unconsciously.

In an atmosphere of fierce debate.

I don’t know who suddenly shouted:

"It's dawn!"

The undead people who had been arguing fiercely just now were suddenly struck by lightning.

Matthew looked down.

The last ray of incense in the incense burner has burned out.

Almost instantly.

The undead, who had been so vivid just a moment ago, fell into a state of rigidity, as if a force had stripped away all the wisdom and memories that had been temporarily given to them.

The light of dawn shines in the rain forest.

The undead returned to their confused state.

One by one they left Matthew's meeting place.

Including hatred.

Under the influence of the ritual, they will leave the scene obediently.

Matthew watched them leave with relief.

Except for the perverted zombie that sneaked in from behind——

Matthew walked directly in front of him, stretched out his foot and tripped him. The latter stumbled and fell to the ground, grinning at Matthew.

He finally got up.

Matthew kicked him to the ground again.

Until all the undead disappeared from Matthew's sight.

At this time, the perverted zombie jumped up from the ground and bit Matthew.

Matthew didn't even blink.

The next second.

His body expanded rapidly and instantly turned into a moon bear, and then he slapped him down!

Puff puff!

Yue Xiong slapped him three times in succession, turning the zombie's solid chest into loose pieces of meat!

Then he pinched the opponent's neck with both hands.

The head of the perverted zombie was removed by Matthew.

Ding dong!

That was the sound of the nameplate falling to the ground.

After kicking the zombie's head away, Matthew slowly transformed back.

next moment.

He bent down and picked up the nameplate, which clearly read——



"This zombie is a pervert, please keep away from strangers."



“A very timely reminder.”

Matthew smiled helplessly.

At this time, Bobo, who had glanced at him not far away, came over jumping:

"It was a really unique night. Although I didn't see what I wanted to see during the night, it still left a deep impression on me."

"I have a question."

Matthew said:

"you say."

"So are the Headless Horseman and the Flying Ghost Head together?"

Bobo raised his head, his eyes full of curiosity.

"No."

Matthew answered.

"Why?"

Bobo looked a little disappointed.

"Because the headless horseman has no head and the flying ghost has no body. When they meet, they will just pass each other forever, unless they are sewn together in a hateful way. But is that still true love?"

Matthew smiled and replied:

"Of course, I made up all the above. They are all immortal and still long for love. Soul Fire must be seriously ill."



"Tip: You have completed the "Advanced Ritual: Night of the Dead" and you have obtained the "Advanced Profession: Advanced Necromancer". Since the Advanced Necromancer and the Basic Profession Necromancer are in the same line, the former will be used from now on.

Professional titles replace the latter.

Please assign experience!



Experience is being allocated——

Your level has been raised from LV8 to LV12!

Your attributes have been improved: Intelligence +1 & Perception +1;

Your Contract Gauge +2;

You gain the advanced necromancer's professional feature "Soul Projection";

You gain new abilities "Tombstone Creation" and "Death Shockwave";

Your ability "Rot Sac Mastery" is upgraded to "Rot Sac Mastery";

Due to your outstanding performance in the Night of the Dead, you will receive the following additional rewards——

1. Your negative energy affinity has been slightly improved;

2. You will get a new undead summon (random/level 3~4)!"



A lot of XP was consumed, and Matthew's level also skyrocketed.

Jumping from the second level peak to the third level peak in one breath, his strength instantly increased.

The first thing that will have an immediate impact is the increase in attributes. The extra intelligence will help him learn spells faster and complete spell casting better;

Perception is exactly the attribute that Druid needs. It can make people more sensitive and detect things that ordinary people cannot detect. It also improves the effect of wilderness form to a certain extent.

And in terms of characteristics and abilities.

High-level necromancers usually gain one of the four characteristics: "Weaponry", "Blighting Aura", "Teeth Stone" and "Soul Projection".

The weapon command can increase the upper limit of the summoned objects by about two or three times;

The withering aura adds an effect similar to the withering light to the undead, but the overall performance is worse than the latter;

The Teeth Stone is a relatively good property. It is a stone condensed by the Necromancer using his own mana and negative energy. It can greatly increase the goodwill with the Vampires.

Most of the necromancers who obtained the Teeth Stone have embarked on the path of Qingyun. After all, the Vampires are the rare units among the undead that have strong individual combat effectiveness, high intelligence, and know how to cooperate.

However, these three characteristics are eclipsed in the face of soul projection.



"Soul projection: Your soul can leave the body, and then the body enters a state of absence. In this state, you will gain the following special properties -

Your soul can travel around the nearby world at this time, flying at twice the speed of your walking, and gain the ability to see through, pass through walls, and be invisible to mortals;

Your soul and body simultaneously gain high resistance to physical damage such as slashing and stabbing;

You can cast spells in the soul state, without the need for casting actions and media. When the spell is necromancy, you will also gain the ability to "cast without materials";

You can try to possess any target, but it is best to be a dead object. When the soul is not strong enough, any possession of a living object can be regarded as a straw in the fire;

When your soul leaves your body, you will continue to consume soul energy unless you can return to your body to rest.

You can also create some containers that are large enough to hold your soul and place them around your body as a resting place.

But no matter what, your soul projection time cannot exceed one hour, and the maximum distance cannot exceed 70 meters from the body;

You have the "trembling form" in your soul form. When you cast this form, all mortals will see you and fall into great fear.

After casting the trembling form, you must return to your physical body within three minutes at most, otherwise there is a risk of being unable to return."



Despite its limitations, soul projection remains one of the most powerful traits a high-level necromancer can master.

I don’t know if it’s Matthew’s good luck or whether his performance in Night of the Dead was too extravagant.

This characteristic is extremely powerful whether it is used for reconnaissance, fighting or calculation.

In terms of spells, there is only the level 12 "Magic Soul Pot" that can achieve similar effects. However, the effect of the Magic Soul Pot is only less than 1/5 of soul projection.

So Matthew is quite satisfied.

Not to mention the two new abilities are also very good.



"Tombstone Manufacturing: You can create pieces of tombstones for the undead to rest. Near the tombstones, they can recover from injuries faster, absorb negative energy better, and greatly increase their potential loyalty.

Undead who rest near tombstones for a long time will have a lower chance of being transformed into elite templates.

You can also detonate tombstones, which can be regarded as units that meet the conditions of both "The Last Dance" and "Corpse Explosion"."



"Death Shock Wave: You can launch a terrifying negative energy shock wave towards a huge fan-shaped area. This shock wave has powerful knockback, knockdown and shock effects.

Enemies hit by the shock wave will suffer "serious injury determination", and if the determination is successful, at least half of their health will be sucked away;

Even if the judgment fails, the person hit by the shock wave will still lose about one-fifth of his life.

It can be used twice a day."



One of these two abilities is the logistical support ability, which can improve the treatment of the undead;

The other one is a rare AOE skill.

The range of damage provided by the shock wave has always been something Matthew lacked.

The necromancy school's spells are extremely diverse, but Negative Energy has always been famous for its point-to-point explosions, and there are very few group attacks.

This ability greatly makes up for Matthew's shortcomings.

His mood became more and more cheerful.

“Finally I didn’t waste a whole night talking!”

The part-time job of the Balance Messenger and the advancement of the Advanced Necromancer have greatly increased Matthew's strength.

He believed that as long as he gave himself some time to familiarize himself with his abilities, even with a third-level body, he could easily kill many fourth-level enemies.

After all, in this world, level is only ranked at the bottom of the five major components of strength.

The order of the other four elements in Matthew's mind is as follows -

Domain, connections, equipment (including props), abilities.

The field is the most important. It is the germ of the legendary way and the key to access the truth of the world. It can also be of great help to you when fighting;

Networking comes second. In Matthew's view, problems that can be solved by shaking people down are not problems.

Equipment and props represent financial resources, and having money can actually solve many problems.

Lorraine is a living example.

As for ability and level, they are the least important.

Browse through the detailed descriptions of each improvement.

Matthew's mood gradually became uneasy.

Next.

This is the moment to witness your character!



"Prompt: Do you want to summon a new undead summon?

The summoning is taking effect, please wait..."
