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

After dealing with four living remains, Bell suddenly found himself in front of nothing. After some digging, he successfully reached the Bone Spire.

It's called the Bone Spire, but that's only a small part of the building that's exposed above ground.

Originally buried deep underground, the white bone spire, under the influence of an unknown force, rose continuously along the cracks that appeared on the ground, eventually exposing its top to the bamboo forest and continuously emitting a massive amount of ominous energy.

These ominous signs brought to life the numerous skeletons buried in the bamboo forest, but the source of these ominous signs lay even deeper underground.

From within the crack, Bell can clearly see the entirety of the Bone Spire, which is much larger than imagined, resembling a large, stout hill.

The spire becomes increasingly slender and pointed as it rises, and is more Gothic in style. Compared to the main body of the spire, it has a strange sense of refinement, as if it were a product of two different eras.

The bone spire was entirely grayish-white, its surface extremely rough and hard, as if pieced together from countless bones. A closer look revealed that every part of the spire was indeed made of bone. Who knows what this might mean?

How much bone is consumed?

Some bones were broken, others were fragments. The bones had turned pale, suggesting they had been there for a very long time, through countless years.

The entire spire exudes a deathly and ominous aura. Ordinary people would feel intense discomfort, a sense of oppression and fear if they stayed here for even half a minute.

"That location should be where normal adventurers would enter after dealing with that large group of animated remains outside."

Looking diagonally upwards, Bell's gaze settled on the seventh floor of the Bone Spire.

According to the normal procedure, after the adventurers pass through the group of living remains, they should build a ladder to enter from the top of the Bone Spire, explore downwards, and finally enter the huge rift by traversing the seven floors of the spire.

"But I have already come to the crevice, so let's start climbing from the bottom of the tower."

Jumping out of the cave and into the great crevice, Bell swung his pickaxe and casually smashed several living remains to death.

There are only a few living remains around the Bone Spire, and they are not high-level, and their attributes are not as good as Bell's.

[Experience +2], [Experience +1], [Experience +1]...

"After leveling up, the living remains that used to give me a huge amount of experience have now become like bean sprouts that can't even fill my stomach."

Looking at the small amount of experience gained from killing the living remains, Bell sighed slightly and swallowed all the soul fire from those living remains.

Upon reaching the small, hill-like spire of bones, Bell looked around, then pulled out his pickaxe and began hammering at the wall made of stacked bones.

This bone spire has no gate or anything like that. Although it is a building made of bones, it is almost a single piece of cast iron, and its solid texture makes it difficult to shake.

The bone walls are fine on the sixth or seventh floor, where they aren't as thick. But at the bottom of the Bone Spire, the bone walls are frighteningly thick.

Even if you changed the soldier and smashed it with a big hammer for half a day, you might not be able to make a hole in the white bone wall at the bottom.

"Thankfully, my blocky props are unreasonable; they can knock these bones, which are harder than rocks, off."

With a 'click', more than a dozen [Solid Compressed Bone Blocks] appeared in Bell's inventory, and a square path appeared on the bone wall in front of him, accessible only to Bell.

"After entering, the ominous atmosphere became even stronger. Inside, every breath I took accelerated the rate at which my body was being eroded by the abnormal energy."

The White Bone Spire is sealed off, and the gases inside do not exchange with the outside world, having settled underground for countless years.

Let alone taking too much, even just one puff will put your body in a very bad state.

Thanks to Bell's ability to use magic instead of breathing, he was able to continue exploring the Bone Spire until his magic ran out.

The first floor of the Bone Spire is quite large, probably over two hundred square meters. It contains a number of items neatly arranged, but due to the near darkness, Bell couldn't see them clearly at first.

"Kakaka..."

At that moment, a series of dense friction and impact sounds rang out from inside the once quiet spire.

Due to Bell's intrusion, some things inside the spire, stimulated by Bell's living aura, revived at an astonishing speed.

"You reacted pretty quickly."

He took out the longsword from his inventory, and the fiery ahoge on Bell's head popped out instantly, slightly illuminating the dark interior of the spire.

In response to Bell, nearly a hundred bright pupils lit up, along with the sound of bones colliding.

Chapter 83 Fifty Skeleton Warriors

"Kakaka..."

One after another, rows of pupil flames lit up, appearing neatly inside the first level of the bone spire, distributed around the first level in a star-like arrangement.

With the light provided by the flame-shaped hair sticking up, Bell could barely make out the creaking bones.

Unlike the bizarre and lifeless remains found outside, none of them have a uniform shape. The skeletons here are all humanoid and wear uniform protective gear.

Although these protective gears have lost their original defensive capabilities over time, their existence testifies to the extraordinary lives of the remains buried here.

This point is also reflected in Bell's "Information Insights".

Bell's living presence disturbed them, reviving the group of skeleton warriors who had been lying underground for who knows how many years.

The moment these skeleton warriors awoke, the ability of [Death Erosion] was activated, and the death energy from their bodies spread out, intertwining to form a domain.

If you stay here for too long, or if you are injured by these skeleton warriors, your physical body will quickly lose its vitality and you will fall into a state of weakness at an alarming rate.

If too much death energy accumulates in the body, one will die on the spot.

"There's no way to fight a tug-of-war with these guys."

Among the level 10 beings Bell had seen, the Skeleton Warrior's physical stats weren't particularly high, about ten points lower than human warriors of the same level, let alone compared to monsters.

Like the living remains, the skeleton warriors possess extremely high spiritual attributes, a common characteristic of undead creatures.

They lack intelligence; their spiritual attributes, far superior to those of other races, are a blessing bestowed upon them by the Purple Moon that drives their bodies.

"The skeleton warriors aren't particularly strong physically, but their skills are truly formidable..."

A whooshing sound came from the diagonal front, which spurred Bell to leap high into the air. He swung his iron sword and cleaved the spine of the skeleton warrior that appeared in front of him, watching it scatter on the ground.

Undead creatures are very troublesome. Don't be fooled by their low physical attributes; these creatures have no sense of pain and have no weaknesses other than the place where their soulfire resides.

If living creatures are attacking each other, they will avoid attacks aimed at their vital points.

But the undead wouldn't. The skeleton warrior just now walked straight towards Bell, facing where Bell was, and swung the weapon in his hand, which was already decayed and only half remained.

Even after his body was shattered by Bell, his attacks did not stop. As he fell, he kept adjusting the point of his attacks, trying to hit Bell as much as possible.

"I could easily crush these guys in a one-on-one fight, but they have no sportsmanship. They try to trick and ambush me, and now they want to gang up on me, a young guy who's only been in this world for a month. Is that okay?"

As Bell watched the skeleton warriors quickly surround him, his expression turned solemn, and the flame ahoge on his head stood up straight, burning exceptionally fiercely.

The extraordinary skeleton warrior in life had [unforgettable martial arts techniques] engraved in his body, even in death...

After being buried underground for countless years, when they awoke again, they also displayed tacit battlefield coordination.

They formed a fixed formation, surrounding Bell. The skeleton warriors, wielding decaying swords and shields, gradually tightened the encirclement and continuously sent out scattered skeleton warriors to exert intense pressure on Bell.

"This is not good. I advise you bunch of unclean bastards, rat tail juice."

After destroying several skeleton warriors in succession, Bell was also having a headache.

Every time he broke apart a skeleton warrior and tried to smash its head, another skeleton warrior would appear next to Bell, disrupting his attack rhythm.

After the scattered skeleton has not been attacked by external forces for a period of time, the broken bones will re-adhere together, and the skeleton will stand up again after being pieced together.

"Once the skeleton warriors form a battle formation, it's very difficult for me to break through their formation using melee combat."

As time went on, the skeleton warriors tightened their formation, and Bell's control over the entire battle became increasingly clear.

Once inside the Bone Spire, his thinking speed remained at its maximum normal level as he analyzed the various pieces of information around him.

"Although I can easily break through the encirclement of the skeleton warriors using the [Shadow Assassin] sealed within the iron sword, I have a better way to break the current situation."

Holding an iron sword and with both feet on the ground, Bell stomped his right foot, and the cobblestone in his inventory instantly appeared beneath his feet.

With a series of clicking sounds, Bell's body was lifted up by a large string of round stones, instantly making him a head taller than the group of skeleton warriors.

Bell raised his body not to avoid the skeleton warriors' attacks, but rather because he needed a high ground to help him break through the skeleton warriors' formation.

"It's surfing time!"

In Bell's left hand, the iron bucket quietly appeared and he placed it directly on the round stone pillar at his feet.

Don't underestimate this block item; its volume is surprisingly large, although it can't create an infinite amount of water like in the game with two buckets.

But this small iron bucket can hold nearly a ton of water.

The ton of water appeared instantly on the round stone pillar and spread outwards under the influence of gravity.

In an instant, the skeleton warriors surrounding Bell were splattered with water.

Although they were still standing in the surging waves, the waves restricted their movements, preventing them from reacting to Bell's next move immediately.

The moment the water rippled, Bell jumped up lightly, and his shadow spontaneously sprang out, spreading its limbs to resemble a black rat sheet.

Bell, riding on the shadow rat pieces as if on a surfboard, appeared at an astonishing speed next to the first row of skeleton warriors, following the surging water.
