Chapter 16 Necromancer Specialized Training? (Ch 16)

I could only continue walking into the passage.

After all, this training only lasts for 7 days, and the secret treasure is right in front of us.

He didn’t want to give up either of these.

Then there is only one choice left, to withstand Shadow Crack’s sneak attack and seize the secret treasure!

And this so-called genius in the film industry.

He had just experienced it, it was nothing special!

……

The ancient runes on the walls on both sides emit a faint blue light.

This time, Mo Yingchen chose to let Dali stick close to his left side, with the bone knife on standby at all times, and the other three skeletons on guard in front and behind.

The growls of zombies could be heard faintly from the front.

Mo Yingchen raised his hands and aimed both guns deep into the passage.

By the light of the runes, he saw several zombies staggering towards him, with rotten flesh peeling off their bones.

All the skeletons except Dali ran straight towards the zombies and started attacking.

While Mo Yingchen was firing, he was thinking about the battle with Ying Lie just now.

Undead creatures are indeed the nemesis of assassins, especially elite skeletons like Dali who are endowed with attributes.

It is tireless, has no fear, and more importantly, reacts incredibly quickly.

Just now, when Shadow Rift made his first attack, the opponent’s dagger was clearly approaching his throat.

Even I didn’t have time to dodge.

But Dali seemed to have predicted the attack trajectory in advance, and the pig tooth bone knife swept out in an instant, forcing Ying Lie to interrupt the attack.

This almost instinctive fighting reaction made Mo Yingchen secretly frightened.

“If Dali had been half a second slower…” Mo Yingchen touched his neck and could still feel the chill as the dagger cut through the air.

He knew very well that if it weren’t for the great strength to rescue him, he would not have been able to withstand the first attack from the shadow creature.

The crisis in the passage is far more than just zombies.

Mo Yingchen soon discovered the rune trap that was faintly visible on the floor tiles.

“There’s a problem ahead.” He signaled the skeleton warrior to stop.

The runes on the ground flickered, flashing an ominous red light.

The Iron Guard walked in the front holding a rock shield. As soon as he stepped on the floor tile, the rune immediately lit up with a dazzling red light.

“boom!”

A column of fire gushed out from the ground. The Iron Guard raised his shield in time, and the flames hit the shield with a deafening roar.

Mo Yingchen noticed that the Iron Guard’s skeleton was burned red, but its thick skin and flesh allowed it to withstand the burn.

When the fire column dissipated, the Iron Guards’ bones were all burned red, and some places even showed signs of melting.

But the dark yellow runes on his body flickered, and the power of the earth’s pulse quickly repaired his injuries.

On the following journey, they encountered poison gas traps, steel spike traps, and rockfall traps.

Mo Yingchen’s way of dealing with traps is very simple.

Triggered by an ordinary skeleton warrior going up to die.

Die and recruit again.

When your mental strength is insufficient, just use your iron guard to bear it.

If you can’t bear it anymore, just stand there and rest for a while, and let the pulse of the earth recover from your injuries.

“These traps have been a great help.” Mo Yingchen looked at the prompt that his experience points were rising rapidly and smiled with satisfaction.

Every time a trap is triggered, the system will give considerable experience value rewards.

This made Mo Yingchen a little confused.

Don’t experience points only increase when absorbing energy?

Killing monsters is the most common way to absorb energy.

But now that the trap has been triggered…how can I gain experience?

If you don’t understand, just enjoy it!

In just a short distance, he had already reached level 6, and his experience bar was still rising rapidly.

This passage, full of traps, is a deadly threat to other professions.

For him, a necromancer, it became an excellent place to level up.

“Keep moving forward.” Mo Yingchen ordered, “Be careful and alert.”

Mo Yingchen felt a little uneasy.

Along the way, he was alert to the direction where the shadow cracks might appear – the shadows in the passage, the ceiling above his head, or any blind spot.

But the shadow crack never appeared.

Based on his understanding of assassins, the silenter they are, the more dangerous they are.

Shadow Crack must be observing his every move in secret, looking for the most deadly breakthrough point.

Mo Yingchen’s eyes kept scanning the surroundings, and his eagle eyes allowed him to capture the slightest movement.

He could even see dust floating in the shadows, but he could not find any trace of the Shadow Crack.

This made him even more certain that the other party was waiting for a perfect opportunity.

“The next time he appears, it will be a thunderous blow.”

Mo Yingchen subconsciously touched his neck which had been cut by the dagger before, and there seemed to be still a biting coldness there.

He signaled Dali and Tiewei to move closer to ensure that he would not be exposed in any blind spots.

This oppressive waiting is more suffocating than a head-on confrontation.

He knew very well that when Shadow Rift appeared again, it would be a fatal blow.

The passage opens up at the end, with an ancient stone altar standing in the center.

The altar is octagonal in shape, with mysterious runes carved all around it and a magic book emitting a faint blue light placed in the center.

The surrounding open space was piled up like a mountain of white bones, scattered all over the open space.

The smell of decay permeated the air, shrouding the area in an aura of death.

Mo Yingchen approached cautiously, looking around vigilantly.

Tiewei and Dali stood guard on his left and right sides respectively to prevent Shadow Lie from making a sudden attack.

He reached out and picked up the magic book, and a cold undead energy flowed into his body through his fingertips.

“Undead Affinity Ritual…” Mo Yingchen turned the yellowed pages of the book and his eyes quickly swept across the ancient text.

As he read deeper, his eyes became brighter.

This is a ritual that allows the necromancer to establish a deeper connection with the realm of the dead.

All one needs to do is sacrifice bones on the altar to guide the power of the undead world into the caster’s body, thereby reducing the mental energy consumption of maintaining the undead.

“This is exactly what I need.” Mo Yingchen smiled.

Mo Yingchen now feels more and more that the entire secret realm is a trial ground for necromancers.

From the cave skeletons at the beginning, to the trap experience in the passage, to the current undead affinity ritual.

There is even a Necromancer’s secret treasure in the back…

I feel like this is a place specifically designed to help novice necromancers quickly improve their abilities…

Mo Yingchen ordered the skeleton warriors to gather all the surrounding bones onto the altar.

As for him, of course he needs to rest… and of course he needs to be on guard against Shadow Split’s attack.

As required by the ritual in the magic book, the bones collided with each other, making crisp clicking sounds and forming a strange circular array around the empty altar.

When the last skeleton was put in place, Mo Yingchen slowly stood in the center of the altar.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to chant the ancient language of the dead.

The dark blue magic book emitted a strange light, and the pile of bones began to tremble slightly.

The ceremony officially begins.

A chill that penetrated deep into the soul swept through his entire body, and Mo Yingchen gritted his teeth to endure this force.

When the ritual was completed, he felt that his connection with the skeleton babies was closer than ever before.

“The mental energy required to summon the undead is directly halved…” Mo Yingchen clenched his fists, feeling the power filling his body.

“This means that the number of undead I can control at the same time can be doubled.”

Mo Yingchen remained calm and did not replenish the summoning quantity immediately.

He wanted to give Yinglie a surprise.
