Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 458 The Golden Spear Team's Provocation Earns Them a Fortune!

"Captain, the bloodline of this Demon-Spotted Tiger's corpse is extremely useful to us. What should we do now?" a male ranger asked.

"Ah Qing, can your Black Feathered Crow track down the person who killed the Demon-Spotted Tiger?"

A beautiful, voluptuous female soldier asked with a frown.

"Captain, Blackwing can only find a general direction."

There weren't many traces left here; we could only rely on the aura lingering on the other person to search.

After asking about the spirit beasts around him, Beast Tamer Aqing's expression turned slightly helpless.

"Damn it, that despicable thief! How dare he steal our prey!"

A stunningly beautiful female warrior, clad in magnificent armor, angrily slammed her fist into the tree trunk beside her.

"Let the Black-feathered Raven lead the way, and we'll catch up and ask them."

This spotted tiger has magical talent, so it must have magic crystals.

Dark-attribute magic crystals will also nourish your Blackwing's bloodline.

She was clearly the leader of this team, and she made the decision directly, leading the team members to chase after the direction the Ark had left, guided by their spirit pet, the Black Feathered Crow.

They relied on the energy perception of the spirit beast Black Feather Crow to track the scent of blood or aura left behind after fighting the Demon Spotted Tiger.

Although Fang Zhou did not participate in close combat, his skeletal warriors had all fought hand-to-hand with the Demon-Spotted Tiger, so their aura was inevitably tainted.

Meanwhile, Ark was completely unaware of this.

After the hunt yesterday, he led the skeleton warriors away from there.

He retrieved some of the wounded warriors' remains to the cemetery for recuperation, while keeping a few dozen of the better-preserved ones with him to continue hunting.

The hunted corpses were all given to the wounded skeleton warriors to absorb, in order to restore their bodies.

On a hilltop, a battle has just ended.

The corpses of four ferocious beasts of the Black Iron rank lay on the ground, while several warrior skeletons, whose bones had not yet fully recovered, were lying on top of them absorbing the essence.

They absorb the flesh and blood of the corpse, then remove the hardest bones and attach them to their own bodies.

Use the burning of soulfire to reshape these bones, creating the missing bones that were damaged.

-

That's one of the good things about undead creatures like corpses.

As long as the soul fire doesn't go out and there's a supply of corpses, one can quickly recover their original combat strength and physical condition.

At this moment, Fangzhou noticed several people approaching in his direction through the skeletal bats' vision, and he couldn't help but frown.

He thought the noise from the recent battle had attracted the people.

Within these mountains, danger isn't necessarily found in ferocious beasts; even our own kind from Earth can pose the same risks.

This is a no-man's-land, without any order or supervision; the darkness of human nature here is unimaginable.

When Fang Zhou arrived at the Beast Mountain Range from Haicheng Military Academy, he had already received a lot of instruction from instructors and senior students.

Compared to the complex and powerful Beast Mountain Range, the underground caves completely controlled by the Haicheng Military Academy, and the Natural Forest, all seem much gentler.

This group had a clear objective and acted swiftly.

It's too late to leave now.

Fangzhou simply summoned all the skeletal warriors from the graveyard and hid them to the side, then cast a defensive spell on himself.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

After making preparations, Fangzhou waited patiently for the newcomer.

"The battle just now is up ahead."

The newcomers were the team members who had been guided here by Black Feather Raven.

Their pursuit couldn't pinpoint a definite direction; the scent left by the spotted tiger was far too faint.

But the sounds of battle coming from the Ark also attracted their attention.

I decided to come and take a look, since it's in the same direction and could be the place where the person who killed the spotted tiger was.

After pushing through the trees, the team spotted the waiting ark.

Fangzhou looked at the opposing team. Their personnel configuration was quite good, with a total of nine people, including melee fighters, ranged fighters, and spellcasters.

The leading female warrior possessed formidable battle aura, likely placing her at the lower Bronze rank. She was clad in light armor with enchanted runes, suggesting excellent defensive capabilities.

Moreover, this armor is not only defensive, but also very attractive.

The openwork design and intricate patterns, along with prominent protection in key areas, make it a must-have feature.

The narrow waistline and prominent hip line make the overall shape fuller, giving it a Valkyrie feel.

"Young man, I am Yang Qinglu, the captain of the Jin Ge team."

We heard the sounds of fighting, so we came to investigate.

To the team's surprise, the previously aggressive captain, Yang Qinglu, smiled, put down his weapon, and showed a friendly demeanor.

As a lower-ranking Bronze-level warrior, she is undoubtedly the main force of the Golden Spear team, and her eyesight is naturally far superior to others.

She knew that mages were far more difficult to deal with than ordinary warriors like them.

Not to mention, there's this young mage who dares to go it alone.

Looking at the skeletal warriors surrounding him, they seemed to be necromancers who only existed in records.

In everyone's perception, necromancers are incredibly weak in combat and not worth mentioning.

However, based on her battle aura perception, she felt a strange chill.

Although the energy fluctuations of the necromancer in front of her were still at the upper-level Black Iron, the sense of danger she felt was far greater than that of others.

Adventurer teams that can survive in the Beast Mountain Range are basically seasoned veterans, and they are masters of adapting to different situations.

Therefore, Yang Qinglu decisively abandoned her original aggressive and tense stance and became very amiable.

"Hello, I am Fang Zhou from Haicheng Military Academy."

Fangzhou nodded, then said calmly.

Living deep in the mountains, he had no desire to have anything to do with this group of people.

Therefore, he laid out his identity and background directly to prevent these people from having any bold ideas.

Upon hearing Fang Zhou's words, Yang Qinglu's smile froze.

She couldn't afford to mess with the students at Haicheng Military Academy.

No wonder he reached the Black Iron rank at such a young age and dared to hunt alone in the Beast Mountain Range.

"Captain, there's the aura of a Demon-Spotted Tiger right next to him!"

At this moment, the beast tamer Aqing was somewhat confused about the situation.

She pointed to the skeletal warriors hiding not far away and leaned closer to Yang Qinglu, saying this.

Her spirit pet, Black Feather Crow, had just told its master about its discovery.

As Fangzhou watched the other side pointing and whispering about his skeletal warrior, he simply let the skeletal warrior come out and stand guard in front of him.

"Little Ark, I have a question for you."

A teammate brought up the topic, and as the team captain, Yang Qinglu could only purse her lips and continue, "Did you hunt down a Bronze-tier Demon-Spotted Tiger yesterday?"

Fang Zhou held the Soul-Destroying Orb in his hand, glanced at the people opposite him, and said calmly, "That's right, I did kill a Demon-Spotted Tiger yesterday."

What brings you here?

The spotted tiger was injured during yesterday's battle.

At the time, he guessed that it might have been prey for other teams, but had escaped.

It now appears that this is the Golden Spear team that hunted the Spotted Tiger.

However, I was powerless to do so; I only managed to injure it, which allowed it to escape.

"You're the one who stole our prey!"

Upon hearing this, the beast tamer Aqing couldn't help but shout angrily, her pretty face turning slightly cold.

Although her spirit pet, the Black Feathered Crow, is a bird, it shares the same attributes as the Demon-Spotted Tiger and has a certain degree of bloodline compatibility.

A beast tamer's combat power largely depends on their spirit beast companions.

If their team can successfully kill the Demon-Spotted Tiger, they can allow their Blackwing Raven to absorb its bloodline and accelerate its growth.

If you eat the magic crystal, you might be able to stimulate the Blackwing Raven to grow its own magic crystal and gain the ability to unleash its innate spells.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"I hunted down this spotted tiger with great difficulty."

Fangzhou chuckled and shook his index finger.

"We first discovered this spotted tiger yesterday and then severely injured it."

It was just lucky that it escaped and you found it.

Another male combatant stepped forward and said with a serious expression.

"So what? I'll kill it now, what are you going to do about it?" Fang Zhou asked coldly.

"I want you to hand over the corpse of the Demon-Spotted Tiger, along with its magic crystal."

"that is!

You should know that you shouldn't take things that don't belong to you.

I was lucky enough to find a badly wounded spotted tiger, but killing it wasn't a big deal.

You can take the photo to the Adventurers' Guild to redeem the quest reward, but you have to return the corpse and magic crystal to us!

The male warrior drew his longsword, gave Fang Zhou a deep look, and uttered cold words.

"Nonsense!"

Seeing the other party's hostile actions, Fang Zhou shook his head and gripped the Soul Destroying Orb tightly in his hand.

At his command, the hidden skeletal warriors also stepped forward.

One by one, the skeletal warriors, clad in skeletal armor and wielding weapons, formed a semi-circle, subtly trapping the Golden Spear team in the center.

"What?!"

The members of the Golden Spear team looked unusually serious at this moment.

They could also sense the strength of these skeletal warriors; each skeletal warrior was no less than a high-ranking Black Iron warrior.

Even if these skeletal warriors cannot compare with the combat power of warriors of the same level, their numerical advantage can make up for their lack of combat power.

Moreover, the members of the Golden Spear team are specifically designed for hunting ferocious beasts.

Rangers' bows and arrows and wanderers' daggers are not advantageous against undead creatures like the Corpse Warrior.

The skeletal warriors are not afraid of arrows. Unless their soul fire is destroyed by a direct attack, these arrows, which can pierce or even seriously injure other enemies, have no effect on them other than shattering their skeletal armor.

"Alright, stop being so aggressive."

It's just a bronze-level beast; we and our Ark brothers aren't that far off yet.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

At the crucial moment, it was Yang Qinglu, as the team leader, who remained the most clear-headed.

She grabbed her agitated and nervous teammate and pressed him down.

Then she looked at Fang Zhou seriously, her red lips slightly parted: "Brother Fang Zhou, why go to such lengths?"

The fact that you were able to kill the spotted tiger shows that you are quite strong.

Our team's Beastmaster happens to need the corpse of the Demon-Spotted Tiger and its magic crystals. I wonder if you could part with them.

We are willing to engage in an equivalent exchange.

She took out another bronze-grade magic crystal from her backpack and continued, "This is also a bronze-grade magic crystal, with fire attribute."

I'd like to trade you for the dark magic crystal of that spotted tiger. What do you think?

"It looks pretty good, but the dark attribute is much rarer than the fire attribute."

"They're both bronze-tier magic crystals, why should I exchange them?"

Fang Zhou took out the magic crystal of the Demon-Spotted Tiger and then looked at the people opposite him.

"Then what do you want to do!?" Beast Tamer Aqing couldn't help but ask when he saw this scene.

The black raven also let out a cry at the opportune moment, wanting to obtain the magic crystal.

"That depends on what you're going to give me."

Fangzhou glanced at the black-feathered raven perched on Aqing's shoulder.

This spirit pet appears to be underage, and it is currently nervously spreading its wings, ready to pounce.

"You!" Beast Tamer Aqing's pretty face was frosty.

"It was my oversight. How about this, I'll add two more Black Iron-grade magic crystals to exchange with you."

Yang Qinglu's expression was complicated. In the past, very few people would refuse her like this whenever she asked.

Although she disdained using her beauty, her looks still greatly helped her life.

"Throw it over here so I can take a look."

Fangzhou was indifferent to this deal; whether or not to switch depended on his mood.

"Captain! Be careful, he might swallow our magic crystals!"

Upon hearing Fang Zhou's words, A Qing reached out to stop Yang Qinglu from throwing the magic crystal over.

"It's alright. I believe that as an elite student of Haicheng Military Academy, Brother Fangzhou is definitely not the kind of person who would be greedy for small gains."

Yang Qinglu glanced at Fang Zhou with her beautiful eyes, then smiled gently, pushed away A Qing's hand, and tossed the three magic crystals over.

The Ark ordered a skeletal warrior to retrieve the three magic crystals.

The combined value of one bronze-grade and two iron-grade magic crystals should be higher than the value of my own magic crystal, the Demon-Spotted Tiger.

Fang Zhou weighed the value of the item, then looked at the Golden Spear team opposite him and couldn't help but sigh, "They're really rich."

Yang Qinglu goes without saying, she's fully equipped with enchanted gear, and the others aren't bad either. It's clear they're all willing to spend money and come from well-off families.

Compared to the Tigers team he previously played for, the difference is enormous.

This Golden Spear team must specialize in hunting bronze-level ferocious beasts, so their combat strength is not bad.

Moreover, he himself had profited from the deal, so he didn't have any other thoughts about them.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhou smiled slightly: "Captain Yang is so generous, take it."

He took out the magic crystal from the spotted tiger and threw it directly to Yang Qinglu.

"The deal is done, and the money and goods are settled."

Fang Zhou said after seeing Yang Qinglu catch and examine the magic crystal.

"Where is its corpse?!" Beast Tamer Aqing asked, clutching the magic crystal she had obtained in the exchange.
