Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Looking at the Bone Raven leader who was still struggling, Lynn had an idea.

"Scissor Seven!"

"Whoosh!"

Wu Liuqi suddenly emerged from the shadow of the Bone Raven leader, his Shadow Slashing Dagger imbued with shadow energy, and slashed fiercely at its left wing joint!

The Bone Raven leader instinctively dodged to the side, but due to the [Mental Scream], its reaction was a beat too slow.

"Snap!"

The left wing bone was cut open, and bone fragments flew everywhere.

At the critical moment, the Bone Raven leader unleashed its wind attribute, causing its body to accelerate suddenly, thus preventing its left wing from being removed.

"Your reaction time isn't slow... Let's see how many times you can dodge."

Lynn immediately activated the second spell he had prepared beforehand.

"【Grip of Bones】!"

Five pale bone claws suddenly appeared out of thin air around the Bone Raven leader, closing in on it like a cage!

This is an area control skill. Although a single bone claw is not very powerful, five of them working together are enough to trap a level 2 flying unit.

The Bone Crow leader flapped its wings desperately, unleashing three wind blades that severed two of its bone claws, but the remaining three had already grabbed its feet and tailbone.

"Gah—!!!"

It struggled frantically, but to no avail.

Lynn slowly approached, his mental energy spreading out and directly affecting the trapped Bone Raven leader.

"【Undead Domination】"

A powerful spiritual force invaded the Bone Raven leader's soul fire, causing it to emit a mournful cry and its deep green soul fire to fluctuate violently.

Lynn controlled his strength and did not disturb the soul fire.

What he needs is to subjugate, not destroy.

After a few breaths, the Bone Raven leader's struggles gradually weakened, and the hostility in its soul fire was forcibly erased, replaced by a trace of confusion and obedience.

Capture successful!

Lynn named it "Swift Wind".

With their leader subdued, the remaining bone crows gradually recovered, but without unified command, they became even more chaotic.

Lynn released [Bone Grip], and a gust of wind lashed against his injured left wing, gently landing beside him.

"Quiet down your underlings."

Lynn gave the order directly through the mental link.

Gale raised its head and let out a long cry, activating [Crow Commander], and the chaotic flock of bone crows gradually quieted down.

They looked blankly at their leader, then at Lynn, their soulfire filled with confusion, clearly unable to understand why their leader would be so close to the enemy.

It must be said that these bone crows are far more intelligent than ordinary bone beasts and skeleton soldiers.

Under the control of the [Crow Commander], they ceased their attack and instead fluttered restlessly.

"Very good." Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

This was quite a fruitful outcome.

Once all the bone crows had quieted down, Lynn began to check his spoils.

The first to be affected was the mutated "Frost" Bone Crow.

[Target]: Bone Crow (Frost Mutant)

[Rank]: lv1 (Standard Level)

[Composition]: Lightweight gray-blue skeleton (strength: low+), light blue ice-attribute soul fire (stability: medium), mutated frost wing structure

[Potential]: Medium (Soulfire has ice affinity and can be induced to evolve into "Frostwing Raven" or "Ice Crystal Bone Raven")

【ability】:

1. Frosty Breath: Can exhale frost, with a slight freezing effect.

2. Cold-resistant constitution: Significantly increases resistance to ice.

3. Slightly higher intelligence: The soul fire structure is more complex, and the learning ability is stronger.

...

Lynn was somewhat disappointed after reading it.

This mutated bone crow has average abilities and not much potential, far inferior to the leader, but it is much stronger than an ordinary bone crow.

No wonder it didn't perform well in the previous battles; it seems that not all mutants are very powerful.

"【Undead Domination】"

As a mutant, Lynn decided to control it himself to prevent it from being captured by the other apprentices.

The pale blue soul flame resisted for about a breath before surrendering.

Capture successful!

Lynn named it "Frostfeather".

Next up are forty-three ordinary level 1 Bone Crows. Originally there were nearly fifty, but a few were accidentally killed in the previous battle.

Lynn used a more efficient method—he had Gale command the Bone Ravens to gather together, and then...

"【Undead Domination】Mass Brand Version!"

This was not standard witchcraft, but a technique that Lynn had improved himself. He simply separated forty-three tiny strands of spiritual energy and attached them to the objects, which was equivalent to marking them.

Lynn only needed them to act as eyes; the real control over them came from "Gale".

Twenty breaths later, all the bone crows were branded!

Lynn's face was slightly pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead—simultaneously controlling forty-three mental imprints was quite taxing.

After recovering, Lynn used the [Bone Repair Technique] on the bone crows that were seriously injured in the previous battle to restore their mobility.

"Forty-three bone crows... plus the original ten, plus Gale and Frostfeather, a total of fifty-five! The bone crow network can now cover ten kilometers!"

He handed over control of the seven bone crows under his control to Gale, thus freeing up a portion of his mental energy once again.

He sent all the newly tamed bone crows out of the nest and they circled in the air outside the cave.

A vast expanse of gray covered almost the entire sky.

Just as Lynn was recalling his undead minions and preparing to leave, Gale beside him suddenly let out a crow's cry, followed by a signal to the nest.

Lynn's heart skipped a beat.

Could there be treasure inside?

The legacy of a dead wizard? Ancient ruins? Or... an unhatched dragon egg?

In an instant, various extraordinary encounters flashed through Lynn's mind, making him unable to contain his excitement.

The most exciting moment when opening a blind box is always the moment before the mystery is revealed.

Ignoring the thick bone meal and rotting moss underfoot, Lynn, led by Gale, strode quickly into the depths of the lair.

Soon, he found quite a few "treasures".

87 pieces of putrid beetle shells, 42 bone rat tail bones, several fragments of common Rift Valley ores, and three dull magic stone fragments...

Well, I guess I was overthinking it.

"Just like birds..."

Lynn shook his head, about to leave, when a notification suddenly appeared from the [Analysis]:

[Slight spatial fluctuations detected]

[Source: Crack in the rock wall at the deepest part of the nest]

Lynn's heart skipped a beat; spatial fluctuations?

The real treasure?

Upon entering the deepest part, a natural rock fissure about the width of a hand was discovered. Following the fissure with spiritual energy, a ring-shaped object was found.

He reached in and touched something hard.

After taking it out, Lynn's eyes lit up.

It was a grayish-white bone ring, its surface covered with fine cracks, and a crystal the size of a grain of rice, almost completely cloudy, was set in the ring face.

Could it be a wizard's legacy?

This bone ring has existed for countless years and is extremely damaged. The space inside has shrunk considerably, and the internal structure is extremely unstable.

Lynn couldn't wait to probe it with his mental energy.

Soon, more "treasures" appeared in front of him again.

3 rotten plant specimens, 2 dim soulfire crystals, 1 black iron nameplate...

"You're really messing with me!"

Lynn slammed the bone ring to the ground, expressing his frustration.

He felt like he was being constantly played.

I knew it! Without the "Great Fortune Gu", how could I have had so many extraordinary encounters!

He slapped Gale hard on the head, causing its soul fire to leap and throb.

It was a bit of a mystery to it.

What's wrong? Don't your precious things have enough for your master to eat?
