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

The hunter shook his head. At this moment, the other members of the elite squad were already clashing head-on with the mutated zombies.

The burly shield warrior used [Shield Slam] to block the two greatswords in the mutated zombie's hands. Julianne appeared beside the mutated zombie and used her fighting skills to kick the weakest point of the mutated zombie's knee, breaking its joint.

Behind these two melee fighters, attacks from the other squad members followed closely.

Chapter 163 Keep Going, Working People

The mutated zombie fell, and it fell in a very frustrating way.

In life, it was a master of the sword, and even after death, the skills it retained in its physical instincts made it an extremely difficult zombie to deal with.

However, when faced with a shield warrior blocking its way, its exquisite combat skills become completely useless.

Once the shield warrior uses his skill, his twin blades seem to be drawn to him by a powerful magnet, relentlessly slashing at the shield warrior's large shield.

If the zombie is allowed to adapt to this situation, it will be fine; the remaining experience within its body will provide it with a suitable solution.

Unfortunately, the other members of the elite squad will not give the mutated zombies that chance.

Julianne broke the Aberrant Zombie's knee joint, the Ice Mage froze half of the Aberrant Zombie's body, and the Arcane Rogue Blinked to the Aberrant Zombie's shoulder and shoved a bottle of Refined Holy Water into its nostrils.

After unleashing a series of attacks, the melee-focused adventurers retreated rapidly.

Just as they left the range of the mutant zombies' attacks, all sorts of ranged attacks arrived in front of the mutant zombies.

Ranged classes aren't fools; they know that the power of these mutated zombies is linked to death energy, and the energy they unleash is extremely positive, consisting of either flames or light.

Within minutes, the mutated zombie lost its breath and collapsed to the side.

It failed to launch any effective attacks, merely relying on its tankiness to withstand several rounds of attacks from the elite squad.

"This thing is really not challenging at all."

Looking at the lifeless corpse, Julianne shook her head, indicating that this body was not the kind of opponent she wanted.

The nun on the other side had already dealt with all the skeleton soldiers. Once the souls were dragged into the Sea of ​​Depths and forcibly buried, these skeleton soldiers would naturally lose their ability to move.

After the battle, the other melee fighters, especially one of the accompanying warriors, seemed very happy. He picked up a large sword, wielded it with both hands, and swung it around a few times, expressing his satisfaction.

The materials used by the mutated zombies were excellent. Although they had lost their magical effects after many years, everyone present knew that such a good weapon blank could be given to a weapon blacksmith or enchanter to recreate a high-level weapon in no time.

"Everyone, aren't you going down to take a look? It's said that there are other precious items inside the Bone Spire."

Amat, who hadn't yet made a move in this operation, said this to the elite squad.

Because of the mage's previous demolition, the environment inside the mostly dilapidated Bone Spire is now very poor, and most of it has become ruins.

For the members of the elite team to enter and search for treasure, it would take much more effort, but the advantage is safety.

"Don't touch these corpses. You can take the other treasures from the Bone Spire."

Before entering the Bone Spire to search for treasure, the nun remembered her promise to Bell: the ownership of the zombie corpses and skeletons after the battle belonged to Bell.

Regarding the decision not to dispose of the remains, the nun stated that it was a very important matter and a necessary ritual for their successful exploration within the bamboo forest.

The members of the elite squad are still

After listening to the nun's words, since the nun had just led them through an exploration mission, and the nun not only resisted death energy but also had a wide-range group attack against the living remains, and could also act as a human map, she now had a high reputation.

Moreover, these skeletons and that mutated zombie are worthless.

As the elite squad entered the crumbling Bone Spire to begin their treasure hunt, Bell, who was monitoring the battle from the Sea of ​​Despair, was overjoyed.

When the nun dealt with those elite skeleton soldiers, she gave Bell another 117 experience points, contributing to Bell's level increase, making her a perfect worker.

Meanwhile, Bell also had his eye on the mutated zombie. He had obtained gun skills and time remnants from the ancient corpse he burned last time, and this unique gain made Bell value these zombie remains highly.

Bell even considered that if he obtained enough ancient corpses and collected enough time remnants, he could integrate all the inscribed poems into the time remnants during the process of inscribing magic.

Bell initially thought this audacious idea was impossible, given the astonishing number of adventurers in the bamboo forest and the increasing difficulty he would encounter unexplored bone towers and obtain the remains within.

But this highly efficient, bulldozing-like elite team gave Bell hope of achieving his goal.

It took them no more than two hours to conquer one of the Bone Spires. Including travel time, conquering two Bone Spires in a single day was no problem for them.

At that time, Bell only needs to follow behind the elite squad and pick up the corpses one by one to quickly obtain all kinds of remains, and use [Fire-Loving Wisdom] to obtain power from them.

"Thanks to you all, I can finally enjoy the life of a landlord collecting rent!"

(≧≦

Bell wagged his little tail, and his consciousness withdrew from the Sea of ​​Sinking. Now he was getting further and further away from the bamboo forest, and his 'signal' was getting worse and worse.

He returned to his underground base and prepared to enter the bamboo forest again that night.

He was to bring new supplies to prepare for the initial exploration of the Royal Tomb.

As Bell levels up, his inventory slots increase in number and capacity, allowing him to carry far more items than when he first acquired them.

Bell always makes sure to bring along the milk item, which can remove the current status effect. If he encounters any strange corpses in the royal tomb, Bell can immediately put the milk into the corpse's mouth to make it lose its power.

The enchanted iron sword should also be prepared; it's Bell's weapon for mowing down enemies in his shrunken form and dealing with ordinary living corpses.

In addition, Bell is also preparing to create a unique item to enhance combat power and save his life.

Previously, he had no opportunity to create this masterpiece due to material limitations, but things are different now; Bell is now quite wealthy.

Using Edu and some gold coins he had previously acquired during his time in Azure Star City, Bell quickly melted one hundred gold coins into ten gold ingots using a furnace. Bell was going to create the super item in Minecraft, the Golden Apple.

"I remember the recipe for the Golden Apple is one apple and eight gold ingots."

By placing an apple in the center of the nine-square grid on the workbench and adding eight gold ingots around it, Bell successfully created a rather substantial, glittering pixelated apple.

Despite being made of metal, this thing is actually meant to be eaten directly, and according to its description, the golden apple won't gritty your teeth.

There'll be another chapter tonight. I'll take a shower and continue.

Chapter 164 Golden Apple

【Golden Apple】An item that, judging from its name, is anything but ordinary.

In Bell's memory, the first time he heard the word "golden apple" was in a book of Greek mythology. Legend has it that at the wedding of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Hera, the queen of the gods, Gaia, the goddess of the earth, brought back a golden apple tree full of golden apples from the west coast as a wedding gift for Zeus and Hera.

Of course, the "Golden Apple" created by Bell has absolutely nothing to do with the "Golden Apple" of mythology.

If we had to find a commonality between the two types of golden apples, it would be that eating either of them would grant enviable buffs.

【Golden Apple】

Type: food

Description: An apple made of gold; eating it is equivalent to eating two pounds of gold.

Effects of consumption:

1. Immediately restores one-fifth of the user's maximum health and provides a strong satiety effect.

2. Within two minutes of consumption, gain a false health shield equal to one-tenth of the consumer's maximum health.

3. Within five seconds of consumption, it grants a rapid health recovery effect, restoring one-fifth of maximum health.

4. Using golden apples as feed will greatly improve the taming effect on neutral life forms.

5. Having difficulty conceiving? Eating golden apples can help you quickly enter a reproductive state.

6. Still worried about slow growth? Quickly feed it golden apples!

The effect of the Golden Apple is conceptual; like Milk, it can take effect if used correctly.

The use of the Golden Apple has two purposes: one is to eat it yourself, and the other is to feed it to pets and neutral creatures.

It's easy to understand why you should eat it yourself; it restores a lot of health and gives you a fake life shield. After all, the golden apple is an essential item for PvP in Minecraft, and eating it provides a significant boost to your combat performance.

When used on neutral creatures and pets, the golden apple has a very interesting effect.

In Minecraft, feeding a golden apple greatly increases the chance of taming a horse. Now, the golden apples created by Bell have a much wider range of applications than in the game, and can be used to tame various neutral creatures.

The definition of neutral life is very broad. Bell thinks it should not only include creatures like cats and dogs, but may also include elemental creatures, or other types of creatures.

In addition, golden apples can accelerate reproduction and growth. These two effects are not very useful in Minecraft. After all, what kind of rich kid would use such an expensive golden apple to accelerate the breeding and growth of his own pet?

But in this world, Bell thinks that if the golden apple were sold, it might be very popular and even extremely valuable.

After all, in many extraordinary races, especially very powerful ones, reproduction is an extremely difficult thing, and the process from infancy to adulthood is also an extremely long one.

For example, the dragon race, which has already left in large numbers and only a small number remain in this world, is notorious for its difficulty in reproduction.

Dragons are a species born with innate knowledge. Even before birth, they learn various kinds of knowledge through bloodline inheritance, and upon birth, they possess intelligence comparable to that of adult humans. As dragons grow, the inherited knowledge in their bloodline becomes clearer, and they unlock even more.

The older the dragon, the higher its average intelligence.

Some scholars believe that the higher one's level of biological knowledge, the more difficult it becomes to mate. They cite the reproductive difficulties of dragons and the low birth rate of high-level professionals as examples. Although this view has not yet become the mainstream in academia, it has many supporters.

Similar to the sparse population of a race, slow growth is also a pain point for some races. Taking the dragon race as an example, it takes nearly a hundred years for a young dragon to grow into a reproductive adult.

Such a long period of time is enough for an ordinary human family to live together for four generations. If each generation works hard, five generations living together is not a problem.

(P.S. I recently saw that African girl who became a grandmother at seventeen. My goodness, she gave birth at eight and became a grandmother at seventeen. It's unbelievable.)

In certain situations, items like golden apples, which can accelerate the growth of these extraordinary races, still possess extremely high value.

"Of course, these things definitely cannot be sold now."

After placing the crafted golden apple into his inventory, Bell knew the trouble it would cause him if such an item with incredible effects appeared on the market.
