Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Chapter 688 - 458: Exploring a New World, Blood Moon Tide!

"Corpses? Do you think an Undead Mage would leave a useless corpse behind? Of course, they absorbed it!" Fang Zhou said casually, gesturing to the surrounding Corpse Warriors.

"You! Damn it!" Qing gritted her teeth in anger.

Such a terrible waste. If the corpse could have been absorbed by my Black Feather Crow, it would have been a great supplement.

"Captain Yang, our deal is done. Please leave," Fang Zhou said, gesturing for them to go.

"Brother Fang Zhou, we’ll meet again." Yang Qinglu, ever composed, maintained her graceful smile, then turned and left with the still-disgruntled Qing.

After walking quickly for more than ten minutes, once she felt they were well outside of Fang Zhou’s perception range, Yang Qinglu stopped.

She soothingly patted Qing’s head and said, "Alright, Qing, let the Black Feather Crow absorb the Magic Crystal first. Next time, I’ll buy you some Dark-Attribute Fierce Beast meat."

"Captain, you’re just too nice! Someone like him should be taught a lesson!" Qing grumbled unhappily.

If my Black Feather Crow had been able to consume the Magic Crystal and then absorb the corpse’s flesh, activating its Energy Organ and growing its own Magic Crystal would have been a sure thing. Now, with only the Magic Crystal, it will have to rely on luck and talent.

Yang Qinglu shook her head, her expression serious. "Let’s not even talk about who the Demon Spot Fierce Tiger truly belonged to, or the rights and wrongs of this matter. Just think, if we were to clash with Fang Zhou from Sea City Military Academy, what good could possibly come of it for us? We’re not some lawless, notorious Bandit Group. We still want to make a living in Beast Fighting City. Do you dare to offend someone from the Sea City Military Academy?"

"Hmph, he’s just one person, and a combat-ineffective Undead Mage at that. At most, he can summon some feeble Skeletons. There are so many of us, why should we be afraid of him? The worst we’d do after defeating him is teach him a good lesson without harming him. Sea City Military Academy has so many students; would anyone really stick their neck out for him just because he was outskilled?" the male Combat Professional who had spoken up for Qing earlier said indignantly.

"Foolish! It would be fine if we won, but what if we lost? I trust my Perception! Although Fang Zhou is just Black Iron Upper, he feels far more dangerous to me than the Demon Spot Fierce Tiger did at its peak and completely uninjured. The less trouble, the better. I think you’ve all had it too easy lately, and you’ve let success go to your heads. How can you be so quick to provoke a conflict?"

Under Yang Qinglu’s full-blown tirade, the other team members fell silent, not daring to show their disagreement even if they felt it.

After the Golden Spear Team left, Fang Zhou also departed with his Corpse Warriors. If he hadn’t been delayed, he would have left the blood-soaked battlefield long ago.

Still, it wasn’t a loss. I even gained two Black Iron Tier Magic Crystals, worth a few hundred Magic Stones. All in all, the Demon Spot Fierce Tiger was milked for all it was worth. Not only was its corpse absorbed by the Corpse Warriors, but I can also get the mission reward for eliminating the Fierce Beast back at the outpost base, and I even earned two Magic Crystals from the Golden Spear Team.

Thinking about the Golden Spear Team, Fang Zhou shook his head. As expected, there are no fools among those who hunt in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range. That Yang Qinglu is very clear-headed, which saved me the trouble of a fight.

He had been out for nearly a month and his harvest was bountiful, so Fang Zhou decided to head back. All the Magic Crystals from his hunts and other valuable materials from the Fierce Beasts were now piled up in his Space Storage Capsule. These things needed to be sold and put to use quickly.

He had also accumulated a considerable amount of Soul Power during this time. Fang Zhou had many Skills that urgently needed enhancement, but he couldn’t enter deep Meditation in the mountains and was therefore unable to use this Soul Power to increase his strength. Letting these resources sit around wouldn’t earn any interest; using them immediately to boost his strength was the way to go.

Unlike the Golden Spear Team, which went after Bronze Tier Fierce Beasts, Fang Zhou wouldn’t be so rash. Although hunting a Bronze Tier Fierce Beast is feasible with my Magic and numerous Corpse Warriors, there’s just no need.

Fang Zhou returned to the outpost base, submitted the photos from his personal terminal, and sold all the loot from his Space Storage Capsule. With that, he officially ended his brief hunting trip. As they say, being your own boss is much more profitable than working for someone else.

The last time he went out with the Fierce Tiger Team for nearly a month, it had been a more relaxed trip, but his income was far less than what he had earned this time. Even though luck played a part, a profit is still a profit.

He had earned several thousand Magic Stones alone, plus the contribution point rewards. It was enough to exchange for many more Skills and continue to pursue Extreme Enhancement for the abilities of his main body and Clone.

Coincidentally, the Corpse Guards his Clone had dispatched to the Teleportation Gate had made some discoveries that required Fang Zhou’s full attention.

He took a train back to the relative safety of Beast Fighting City and checked into his usual luxury hotel. After a long, hot bath, Fang Zhou washed away all his fatigue and the dust from his journey.

In less than a year, Fang Zhou had advanced from a newly Awakened novice to his current strength at the Black Iron Upper rank. Feeling the Death Mana coursing through his body, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but smile. The strength I possess today is inseparable from my own talent and hard work.
