Chapter 11 The Resurrected Undead
It took another day, and Lin Yi finally cleared the entire forest.
Except for a few monsters that escaped, all the others died in Lin Yi's hands.
A total of more than 6,000 energy crystals were harvested.
"This harvest is not as good as yesterday!"
Yesterday he wiped out the vampire mosquito swarm.
Just from those vampire mosquitoes, he harvested thousands of energy crystals.
After all, the area of this forest is not large, and it is difficult to carry more monsters. Apart from the vampire mosquito swarm, he has not found other large-scale monster territories, so today's harvest is less.
"We need to hunt in another place tomorrow."
"Tentatively set the area of the City Lord's Mansion."
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the northwest of the inner city ruins.
Lin Yi chose the City Lord's Mansion, not mainly because there are many monsters there, but because the treasure house of the Elf Empire is located there.
At the same time, that area was also the most prosperous area of the entire ancient city ruins.
Although thousands of years have passed, most things have decayed and disappeared in the passage of time, but Lin Yi still wants to try his luck.
What if the goddess of luck favors him and he encounters a treasure that has escaped the punishment of time?
…
Lin Yi walked out of the woods.
Seeing that it was getting late and the night was about to fall.
He gave up the idea of continuing to hunt and rushed to the territory.
This place is still several kilometers away from the territory, and a large number of undead creatures will appear at night.
He doesn't think he should be so bold.
Even if he wants to hunt at night, he has to hunt in the surrounding areas of the territory.
On the way back, Lin Yi suddenly heard the sound of fighting.
I thought I encountered a hunting elf team, but when I went to see it, I found that the two sides of the battle were actually undead and monsters.
There were dozens of undead knights besieging a group of swamp rats.
The number of swamp rats was as many as hundreds, more than ten times that of undead knights.
However, it was the rats that were slaughtered.
Those undead knights were all high-level undead.
Their lowest level was level seven, and one even reached level nine.
A charge by the undead knights could kill a large number of swamp rats. Some swamp rats wanted to break out, but they were not as fast as the knights and soon fell in a pool of blood.
In less than a few minutes, the battle was declared over.
Dozens of undead knights were killed or injured.
The rats were annihilated.
After dealing with the rats, the undead knights quickly went away and disappeared into the dim ruins.
Not long after the undead knights left, another undead creature holding a bone staff and wearing a tattered robe appeared. It waved the bone staff in its hand and released a green light that enveloped the battlefield.
After just a few seconds, the hundreds of dead swamp rats on the ground stood up again.
But what was different from before was...
At this time, some of them had turned into skeletons.
Some turned into rotten corpses.
They were transformed into undead creatures!
"Undead magician!"
Lin Yi's expression became a little serious.
In the previous two nights, he and his elf troops killed a large number of undead creatures. But he had never encountered either a high-level undead knight or a similar undead magician.
What was hunted before were just ordinary undead.
Most of them were low-level, with very few being intermediate.
But now, dozens of high-level undead were seen all at once.
"It must be because of the death of the old tree that the evil and dark forces under the ruins are no longer suppressed, so gradually powerful undead are born."
"I have to speed up the development of the territory."
"I can't let these undead creatures get ahead of me."
"Otherwise, let alone cleaning up the entire ancient city ruins, the undead creatures in the inner city alone will be enough for me to drink a pot."
Who knows if king-level or even extraordinary-level undead creatures will be born in the inner city in a while?
In front of the old tree, this level of undead is nothing.
But for Lin Yi now, it is a big trouble.
Not far away, the undead magician was about to leave with hundreds of revived undead rats. Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately threw a flaming spear over.
The flaming spear pierced the space.
In an instant, the undead magician who couldn't dodge was nailed to the ruins of the building behind.
The blue flames swept over his body.
Soon the necromancer was burned to ashes.
As soon as the necromancer died, the undead rats immediately became headless flies and ran around.
After Lin Yi killed most of them with the Fire Wall and Fireball, he let the scattered undead rats escape into the darkness.
They were all small and low-level monsters, and it was meaningless to chase them.
Just kill the necromancer.
This kind of undead creature is a greater threat on the battlefield than the group of undead knights.
Because it can revive the dead undead.
As long as the soul fire of the undead creature is not completely extinguished, even if it becomes fragments, the necromancer can use magic to combine it to form a new soul fire and then revive the dead undead.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Yi went straight back to the territory.
"The elf hunting teams should all be back."
"Let's go see what they got today."
"If there are enough energy crystals, upgrade the ancient war tree and unlock more powerful elf troops!"
...
Soon after Lin Yi returned, the elves who went out hunting also returned one after another.
Just like yesterday, many elves were carrying bulging leather packages. The difference is that today's packages are more numerous and larger.
As usual, the personnel were counted.
No elven troops were killed, but a few were wounded.
After questioning, they learned that they encountered a powerful enemy while hunting.
Some were attacked by high-level Warcraft monsters, while others, like Lin Yi, encountered high-level undead creatures.
The latter constitute the majority.
"Sure enough, my guess was correct."
"Powerful undead creatures are gradually resurrecting."
Lin Yi knew that the plan to upgrade the ancient war tree was urgent.
Not only does he need to expand the size of the elf team, but he also needs to have stronger elf troops.
For now, upgrading the ancient tree of war is the only shortcut.
Soon, an elf handed over the counted loot to Lin Yi.
"Your Majesty, today we harvested a total of 53,749 energy crystals and 352 magic cores. In addition, a team found this in the ruins..."
As he spoke, the tall elf took out a gray-black magic book.
The magic book is made of unknown magical beast skin.
Overall it looks very heavy.
Lin Yi took the magic book and opened it.
The purpose of magic books is mostly to record knowledge, or magic skills, pharmaceutical experience, forging skills, etc. With the help of magic books, practitioners can understand and master it faster.
Generally speaking, as long as the spiritual consciousness is connected to the magic book, the information recorded in it can be obtained.
The magic book found by the elf team records magic skills.
This is exactly what Lin Yi urgently needs now.
But unfortunately, most of the inner pages of the book were eaten by insects, and most of the inner pages were even missing. The magic circle used to establish spiritual connection has also been damaged long ago and is almost useless.
"What a pity."
Lin Yi was about to return the magic book to the elf and let him take it away and deal with it as he pleased.
The system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[The host can consume energy crystals to repair damaged magic books. 】
[Not just magic books, most damaged items can be repaired at the cost of consuming energy crystals. The higher the level of the item, the greater the cost. 】
