MC's career as foreign lord

Chapter 159 Before the Underworld

Following the mine shaft, he continued downwards. After passing through the massive warehouse, he reached the true underground mine.

The enormous deep mountain canyon they had previously explored was actually located at this very spot. This was the best hiding place and the most excellent mining area.

A large number of minerals were hidden in some underground caves here, all of which were opened up by the skeletons, who then unhesitatingly mined them all away.

All the products in the underground caves were carefully collected by them, emptied bit by bit with scissors or shovels, and then piled up in the houses.

A large number of warehouses were prepared for their carpet-like excavation. Only a few specially cleared underground treasure rooms were not directly cleared away.

Around those monster spawning cages, blocks were placed and filled with torches to ensure that no monsters would spawn, awaiting future use.

In Zhou Ren's eyes, these were not ordinary monster spawning cages, but special blocks filled with the illusory images of money, representing an endless stream of monsters in the future.

In the future, as long as there were monster spawning cages and more monsters were activated around them, he could even make the entire area peaceful, without having to worry about monsters spawning on the ground.

The biggest advantage of skeleton mining was certainly more than just these. These vigorous little skeletons possessed advantages that ordinary people could hardly match, namely that they were undead creatures, essentially no different from the monsters that spawned.

The biggest problem was that living monsters would be hostile to the skeletons. If this were on the surface, there might be many wolves, beasts, and slimes.

But this was in the deep and remote mine, which would not have any of the enemies mentioned above. If there were any, they would only become illusory dreams.

The only living creatures that might pose a danger to living people, vampire bats, had no way to leave a mark on the skeletons' bones. Instead, they would gradually fall into a trap of dwindling numbers due to lack of food.

So, their method of killing monsters was very simple. All the skeletons directly approached for a round of attacks or a volley of fire, which could kill a monster. The other monsters would be indifferent to the death of their companions.

This may also be one of the intelligence flaws of the monsters that spawned. They would only attack those monsters that caused them harm. As for others, even if they exploded, it was none of their business.

Here, we talk about Creepers again. These green little guys were all imprisoned in an area filled with flowing water. They were squeezed in by the skeletons bit by bit. Now, the pool there was full of Creepers.

This kind of creature that could cause fixed damage through explosions had always been Zhou Ren's favorite. Next time, if someone really attacked the territory, he would release the Creepers to let them know what the art of explosion was.

It's just that the number of Creepers was not too large. Only 100 or so had been accumulated. How could there be so few monsters in the entire underground area? There should be more and more in the future.

Skeletons were also locked in a cage. These skeletons seemed very curious as to why these kindred spirits could not be transformed into their companions through the skeleton lord's enlightening ability, but were just a group of strange creatures with bone frames?

However, the bones dropped by the skeletons became very good tools for the skeletons. They replaced the decayed or dilapidated bones on their bodies and attached them to new places. The brand-new bones could always be integrated very well, and no difference could be seen.

Regarding this point, Mossa had once conducted a period of research. He found that if the whole body was replaced with bones, the physical strength of these skeletons would not only have a strong increase, but also the degree of perception of magic in the future would be greatly improved.

It was based on this point that he was now customizing a so-called skeleton magic surge plan with Sandru, that is, starting from Jim, all skeletons must replace their own bones.

This may reduce their current level and combat power by one level, but in the future, each of these skeletons had signs of aspiring to become a legend.

Skeletons filled with traces of magic would be their best helpers, and their simple but keen perception would not bring too much trouble to Zhou Ren. If they were not used, then it would not be a matter of stupidity.

After dealing with the skeleton issue, they turned their attention to the zombies. These zombies were somewhat similar to liches, both being flesh and blood life forms, both being dead creatures, and both lacking consciousness, but zombies possessed extremely strong physical attack abilities.

The two liches even thought that if they could load this kind of flesh onto themselves, would they become more beautiful?

After all, although both of them were legends, possessing legendary power no less than most races, and because of the heritage of the arcanists, they were even not restricted by spell slots. However, it was also true that which lich whose lifespan was about to end would be restricted by this kind of control over spell slots?

Spell slots restricted the level of magic release and accelerated the release speed. This was to reduce learning time and quickly enhance the mage's power, but liches would not have this problem.

They possessed extremely strong life, extremely strong memory, and an almost eternally incorruptible soul. They could inscribe each magic spell into their souls through magical inscription, thereby solving the problem of having to relearn the magic model each time.

They analyzed the essence of magic, engraved magic power into themselves, and condensed magic power outside their bodies, so that they were not affected by the Demon King. Even if the magic net collapsed, have you ever seen which deep-level lich would be damaged because of this?

What's more, some more extreme crows have even replaced their bodies with other races. I'm talking about you, the great legendary mage Ioulaum of Netheril, the current elder brain illithid.

No one, whether gods or dragons, wanted to touch this guy. He had a challenge rating as high as forty-six, and was truly above legends!

Zhou Ren did not comment on their experiments. Anyway, they were underworld experiments. They were trying in that particularly underworld place in the coal mine cave. Whether it was successful or failed, the impact on himself, the lord, was not particularly great, so he naturally let them go.

Next was a cage buried underground. This cage only contained one kind of monster, which was the monster discovered by the skeletons during excavation, namely zombie villagers.

This was another creature that was not quite the same as zombies. If husks were just zombies covered with hard shells, then zombie villagers were actually ordinary monsters that still retained intelligence.

These zombies with villager faces still attacked living people, but they did not shake around casually. They seemed to be hiding a heart that wanted to return.

Zhou Ren looked up carefully at the area where this zombie villager was living. He saw a brand new mine. Skeletons were divided into different areas, clearing all the ores and stones in front of them. On the other side, several skeletons were constantly transporting materials and crops, and also making torches.

Skeletons don't need to sleep or rest, but they need to recover their spirits. Therefore, a large number of magical objects were concentrated here, then squeezed into juice. From time to time, skeletons would run over and lie in it, and from time to time, skeletons would run out.

When they lay down, they would deliberately put in an ordinary bone, and then replace a bone in their body. That bone would be directly drenched into slag by the juice, but a piece of bone on their body would become whiter.

"Has this kind of replacement completely formed a system? Where's Jim?" Zhou Ren said curiously. All the skeletons were working hard. Could it be that the skeleton captain he appointed was now slacking off?

Before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind rushed over from a distance, and then a snow-white skeleton stood in front of him. His face was lively, his soul was turbulent, and the skeleton head even tilted, looking at his lord.

"You're saying you're using Fortune and Silk Touch to mine those minerals?" Zhou Ren said. The little skeleton really knew how to make the most of everything. He was the luckiest of all the skeletons, otherwise he wouldn't have become the boss, so he was using his own way to help others.

This method is not difficult to explain. He is the king of skeletons. After becoming a legend in the future, he will automatically be crowned as the Skeleton Lord, that is, the Skeleton King of this area.

And this kind of upgrade can not only be obtained in ordinary work, but also can be improved through experience points. Therefore, a large number of skeletons handed over all the mining work to Jim, so that he could obtain upgrades faster.

"You've already reached Quasi-Legendary?" Zhou Ren said in surprise. This was something he didn't expect. Jim was clearly just a mid-level professional skeleton when he first met him. Although he had some combat power, it wasn't enough anywhere.

However, his creator was a legendary level, or even a high-level legendary lich, so no one would despise him.

Now it's different. Jim himself is a high-level skeleton. Not only does he have a Quasi-Legendary level, but also legendary-level bones and magic power. Under the irrigation of magical power like mountains and seas in this world, Jim already possesses combat power far exceeding ordinary legends.

"I won't say anything about you mining, prepare for an adventure in the Nether in two days. Make a set of armor for each of your skeleton soldiers. If you have experience, you can take lapis lazuli to my upstairs to enchant!"

Zhou Ren said. The skeleton army he had painstakingly built could not be damaged by the Nether adventure. After all, every skeleton was a good tool person.

The newest novels are at 69shu.com!

Even if the various tool races have great abilities, they still want to be lazy and slack off, or do more for their own race, but the undead won't. They follow one master to the death, and they won't even have the thought of betrayal.

This is determined according to the level of the undead, and it is also related to the soul contract. Zhou Ren is not very clear, and he doesn't want to understand it in more detail. Anyway, he only needs to know that the undead cannot betray, and that is enough.

"Squeak?" Jim shook his head slightly. The collision of bones made this space seem particularly strange, but he quickly understood and nodded slightly.

He directly touched the workbench slightly with his hand, and then a set of armor was put on his body, and then he summoned all the skeletons.

Undead creatures are not attacked by other undead creatures, but in the Nether, there is a group of living piglins. As native animals of the Nether, they will naturally be hostile to skeletons.

This hostility cannot be changed. All creatures will be hostile to undead creatures, and they will take the initiative to attack. Since this is the case, Zhou Ren must strike first.

If all the creatures that generate hostility are killed, won't that solve the problem? Anyway, his skeleton army should have the combat power to push across the entire Nether, as long as he doesn't provoke groups of zombie pigmen, there shouldn't be any problems.

Watching the skeletons gather and put on their armor, Zhou Ren nodded in satisfaction, then got on the minecart and went back. Now all the preliminary preparations were over, and only two legendary powerhouses needed to be by his side to be on guard.

According to Losanda, his Nether territory is actually in a certain abyss level, but according to his own deduction, due to the existence of bedrock, some external creatures should not be able to directly attack.

But when he goes to the Nether, he will inevitably have to make a Nether monster spawning tower. The monster spawning tower will have to break through the bedrock layer to reach above the bedrock layer. If he encounters some legendary or even god-level abyss lords, it will be terrible if he can't beat them.

He doesn't have any god-level combat power under his command yet, so he has to bluff and find two legendary figures from the race to take the blame, and then抵押 their gods?

Besides, if that abyss lord is an easy-going guy, and he is not a truly lawful, good, and righteous person, it is not impossible to cooperate.

If he can achieve true cooperation, allowing him to be unimpeded in the abyss, and even get free demons to provide, that would be even better.

However, if the problem breaks down, he must be ready to evacuate at any time, so he has to obtain enough supplies in the Nether, and even enough to use before going there in the future.

After all, in case the negotiation with that lord breaks down, leading to a large siege by some god-like lords, his small body can't withstand it.

Before he has enough power next time, and takes more big brothers to negotiate, he has to think about all the problems, such as collecting some soul sand and nether wart, collecting enough blaze rods and magma cream, and scraping all the things in that area clean, it is not impossible.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was necessary. He definitely had to bring two liches, and the monk Gano should also be pulled out for a stroll. The silver dragon itself is of ice attribute, and Anna probably wouldn't want to go to the Nether filled with flames.

But there is hope to abduct two elven druids, after all, all druids should be interested in plants filled with flames.

Such a large sphere of influence, is that enough?
