Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

The nun shook her head and stepped out from the crowd to a place closer to the bone spire.

Her presence startled several living remains wandering nearby, which rushed toward her like madmen, and their actions attracted the attention of other living remains.

Within seconds, these bizarre, living remains transformed into a tidal wave of bones, surging toward the nun's location.

This anomaly instantly put the elite squad into combat mode. Although these living remains were not strong, their sheer number made them extremely troublesome and a headache to deal with.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. You need to save your strength for when you enter the Bone Spire. I won't be of any use then."

After saying a few words to the adventurers in the elite squad, the nun, who had been shrouded in her robes, stretched out her hands. She clasped her palms together as if gathering some kind of energy in them, and then suddenly slammed them onto the barren ground in front of her.

In an instant, an invisible wave spread rapidly, affecting the area where the Bone Spire was located.

"May you rest in peace, restless souls."

The charging, animated remains also tumbled to the ground one by one from front to back. Many of the animated remains disintegrated on the spot, using the momentum from their charge to let their body parts roll away.

They scattered and flew everywhere.

The moment the nun made her move, none of the people present could clearly perceive what power she had mobilized. All the living remains in this area were reduced to scattered bone fragments.

The elite team members were stunned. Even Amat was somewhat surprised. These hundreds of living remains would take him quite a while to clean up, even if he were at his peak.

"The nun has a really good way of doing things."

"Awesome, I'm impressed."

……

Faced with a barrage of exclamations like "Holy crap!" from the crowd, the nun scratched her head, explaining that it was simply because her ability was highly targeted at activating remains.

But now, no one present dared to underestimate the nun.

The nun said her ability was specifically designed to revitalize remains, but none of the people present could sense what power she used, or what the specific workings of that power were. Heaven knows if the nun could even use that power on them.

"The exploration of the Bone Spire is now in your hands."

The nun then cast another layer of divine power shield around the elite team members, indicating that she needed to rest for a while.

Meanwhile, the other members of the elite team were also ready to enter the Bone Spire for exploration.

While they were making preparations, Bell, who was far away in the bamboo forest and had already boarded a minecart to return to the underground base, suddenly fell into a state of bewilderment.

[Experience +48]

Just as Bell was dozing off, his experience bar suddenly spiked, jolting him awake.

"What's going on?"

Rubbing his big face, Bell quickly followed the source of this experience and reconnected to the Sea of ​​Sinking through the King of the Bamboo Sea.

He had only just left the bamboo forest and could still intermittently connect to the Sea of ​​Sinking Bamboo Forest, but the signal was very weak, much like when a car is going through a tunnel.

Bell fiddled with it for a while before finally figuring out what had happened from the information recorded in the Sea of ​​Sinking.

The nun mobilized a portion of the power of the Sea of ​​Depravity.

The nun buried 471 souls.

The power that allowed the nun to bury and revitalize the remains came from the Sea of ​​Oblivion, and the authority to mobilize the power of the Sea of ​​Oblivion within the Bamboo Forest was given to the nun by Bell. This resulted in Bell getting a free pass and sharing a lot of experience.

For Bell at this point, the strength of the animated remains is too low. Killing one or two animated remains yields almost no experience, a paltry gain. Therefore, given his numerous other commitments, Bell is not prepared to waste time clearing out animated remains.

But now, with the nun as the chosen worker, these living remains scattered throughout the bamboo forest are no longer a troublesome burden.

"Work hard, the more you do, the more I earn. If you work hard until the end of the year, I might get promoted a few levels."

Bell gave the nun a thumbs-up from afar, and his consciousness entered a god-like perspective overlooking the bamboo forest.

He wanted to see what kind of commotion the nun was making and whether it could bring him more benefits in the future.

But if you don’t know this, you will be shocked when you see it.

As soon as he turned his gaze to where the nun was, he saw the group of elite adventurers displaying their unique skills, fiddling with a seven-story bone spire, using hammers, chisels, and targeted blasting—all sorts of methods.

In no time, several large holes were torn into the bone spire. If no one intervened, Bell estimated that it wouldn't be long before they reduced the bone spire to rubble.

"Holy crap, these aren't adventurers, they're a demolition squad!"

Happy Dragon Boat Festival! Family members, as usual, I'm here to thank you for your support!

I'm going to start updating more frequently tomorrow, thank you so much everyone!

Chapter 162 You Need Power to Get By

"Place the magic energy cores in these locations."

An adventurer resembling a mage was directing other adventurers at the edge of the rift. As a mage, he acted like a technical engineer, devising a plan to blow up the Bone Spire in a very short time.

The melee adventurers who were carrying out the task quickly chiseled small holes in the surface of the bone spire and placed the magic energy cores brought by the mage into them.

Magic cores are special magic storage devices crafted by mages. To fill these magic cores, it takes ten intermediate mages a week to fill them with magic, and the cost is by no means low.

It was fortunate that the city guards would reimburse all expenses for this operation; otherwise, he would not have been willing to use these magic energy cores.

After all, magic cores are a common casting material used by advanced mages. For advanced mages, many powerful spells require additional casting materials and energy sources. A mature mage will generally not mobilize the magic power within their body until they reach a dead end.

"Everyone, please maintain a safe distance and take necessary precautions."

After the magic crystal cores were embedded in various locations on the surface of the bone spire, the mage activated his ability, and numerous magic array patterns appeared on the surface of the bone spire.

The walls of the Bone Spire are extremely hard; even a powerful high-level warrior would have to spend a long time trying to break through them by manpower.

But the power of magic greatly shortens this process.

Under the mage's control, the magic crystal core became dazzling and scorching hot. The nature of the magic power originally sealed within it changed rapidly and emitted an extremely dangerous aura.

Centered on the point where the magic energy crystal core was embedded, the high temperature melted through the outer wall of the bone spire, triggering a series of changes and ultimately causing a series of explosions.

Numerous cracks and holes appeared on the surface of the bone spire, and as the explosions subsided, the mage began a new round of operations.

He took out another magic energy crystal core and, through magical manipulation, transformed the magic energy within into a cloud of icy air, which directly enveloped the bone spire that had been blasted by the high temperature.

The sudden temperature change, coupled with the catalysis of magic, caused numerous cracks to spread across the surface of the previously solidified white bone spire, centered on the hole where the magic energy core had exploded, extending to the entire main structure.

Under the mage's manipulation, not long afterward, a small portion of the entire bone spire collapsed, turning it into a dangerous structure.

If Bell's exploration of the Bone Spire is a normal challenge, then these adventurers are extremely uncivilized.

The Bone Spire has been demolished, and the powerful remains that were originally inside it are now bursting out of the Bone Spire.

Similar to Bell's previous experience, the seven-story bone tower is a burial ground for earls, where the personal guards of the deceased are usually buried.

When these elite skeleton soldiers charged out alongside the tomb's occupant, the elite squad members present were also filled with fighting spirit.

When it's their turn to fight, their bodies naturally become excited, a trait cultivated through countless practices and life-or-death battles.

"Delayed force field".

With a clap of his hands, the mage unleashed a burst of energy from the remaining power within his magical core.

The force field slowed down the movement of the large group of elite skeleton soldiers climbing up the crack.

The nun also walked to the mage's side, preparing to let these elite skeleton soldiers rest in peace.

She and the mage were both skilled at area-of-effect attacks, and the two of them were more than capable of dealing with this large group of elite skeleton soldiers.

The other elite team members will be responsible for dealing with the tomb owner who rushes out of the bone spire, striving to kill the mutated zombie head-on in the shortest possible time.

Unlike the elite skeleton soldiers who quickly climbed up the crack, the mutated zombie that the tomb owner had transformed into leaped to the rear of the group, making it appear as if it were surrounding the elite squad together with the elite skeleton soldiers.

The tomb's occupant was short, stout, and had a massive skeleton. Although his muscles were dried out, they still looked extremely intimidating. Three heads of different sizes sprouted from his chest, likely a physical mutation caused by the "Aberration Curse," similar to the seven-armed aberration zombie Bell encountered.

It held a large sword, taller than a person, in each hand. With just a slight swing, a gust of evil wind swept in, snapping the surrounding withered bamboo stalks in half.

"A giant creature with three heads, who wants to test its abilities?"

"Those two big swords look pretty good. After we take it down, I can have one to play with."

"Why are you already discussing how to divide the spoils before the fight has even started?"

……

Judging from the expressions of the elite team members, they did not feel much pressure, and even began to discuss how to distribute the spoils.

This mutated zombie is level 24, and its physical attributes are not much different from the mutated zombie that Bell encountered before. In terms of pure attributes, it is already close to level 30.

But these things are, after all, unintelligent corpses, and even with exaggerated physical attributes, it is difficult to maximize their effectiveness.

The adventurers present were different; they were elites among their peers. With the same attribute values, they were much stronger than ordinary adventurers of the same level.

An arrow that created a sonic boom was fired, piercing the mutated zombie's membrane and embedding itself in its chest from the side. In an instant, flames erupted from the hole in the mutated zombie's flesh.

This is a hollow arrow shot by a high-ranking hunter in the team. The hunter fills the empty sac inside the arrow with dragon breath potion, which can instantly ignite a special flame at a temperature of two thousand degrees after the potion takes effect.

It was fortunate that the mutated zombies were not living beings. A normal living being hit by this arrow would have been burned to a crisp by now, unlike the mutated zombies which continued to jump and hop towards the elite squad.

"Tch, I hate enemies who aren't really that dangerous."

The hunter spat, expressing his displeasure with the mutated zombie in front of him. As a hunter, he was more skilled at ambushes and one-hit kills.

An enemy that is persistent and requires many attacks to kill will kill him and will dampen his interest.

Fortunately, no matter how the mutated zombies charged, they could not threaten him.

"To survive in this world, you need power and connections. You can't get past my teammates; you're just a nobody in the end."
