When Zhou Mingrui heard that, he smiled confidently and said, [It’s indeed impossible to summon a level 7 one in its original form, but if I try my best, I should still have a good chance of summoning a level 6 one.]
[Level 6?]
Yan Wuyue thought for a moment and said, [I don’t know how strong this monster is, but if you really summon a level 6 undead envoy, you can at least help me to divert it and stall it. It’ll be easier for us to take the life crystal.]
[But won’t your summoning be too loud? If it notices us in advance, we’ll be in big trouble.]
Zhou Mingrui frowned and said, [There will definitely be some commotion. If you’re worried, I can summon it from where the skeleton was. That way, we can still attract it over.]
!!
Yan Wuyue’s eyes flickered. [That’s true. Let’s follow this plan!]
However, Zhou Mingrui did not immediately move. Instead, he stood in place and thought for a few seconds before saying, [Are you sure that other than that big lizard, there’s no other danger around the red rock?]
Yan Wuyue blinked. [I can’t be 100% sure. The guy who got the life crystal in my last life only gave a rough description. No one has ever gotten a life crystal since.]
Zhou Mingrui’s expression turned serious. [Because based on your description of the life crystal, I don’t think the lizard is the only guardian. Is there a possibility that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?]
Yan Wuyue blinked after listening.
[Of course, this is just a suggestion. You’ll be in charge of the specifics.] Seeing that Yan Wuyue was silent, Zhou Mingrui could only spread his hands.
Yan Wuyue shook her head and said, [You’re right. According to my observation, this should be the territory of this big lizard. I didn’t see any other monsters.]
[Most of the monsters in the alternate space secret realm have a strong sense of territory, so it’s basically impossible for other monsters to ambush us.]
[But we can’t rule out the possibility that a stronger monster might just happen to be here, right in the middle of the life crystal’s ripening process. We’ll just have to be extra careful.]
After hearing this explanation, Zhou Mingrui was relieved. [Okay, I’ll go over now.]
With that said, Zhou Mingrui turned around and sped back to where he was. Yan Wuyue, on the other hand, began to wait in place.
A few minutes later, Zhou Mingrui arrived at the spot where the humanoid monster had died. He discovered that white fog was everywhere.
The fog was caused by the corrosive liquid in the humanoid monster’s head. However, if one looked closely, one would see that the plants were greedily absorbing the fog.
What was even more terrifying was that the remaining flesh and blood of the humanoid monster were being devoured by the flowers and plants.
That’s right, it was flowers and plants.
The grass on the ground continued to twist and extend at a speed visible to the naked eye, then spread to the corpse of the humanoid monster.
Zhou Mingrui frowned. After making sure that there were no monsters around him, he released intense phantom energy from his body and began to forcefully expel the flowers and plants.
After all, they were the lowest life forms. After feeling the power of the phantom energy, the flowers and plants began to retreat quickly.
“Eh, there’s still a remnant soul?”
The moment Zhou Mingrui touched the skeleton after expelling the flowers and grass, he realized that there was still a very clear consciousness left on the skeleton.
As soon as the consciousness sensed Zhou Mingrui’s probing, it immediately gathered into a hideous head. It let out a silent roar and charged at Zhou Mingrui.
However, Zhou Mingrui did not do anything. All he did was focus his attention. In the eyes of the consciousness form, the originally ordinary Zhou Mingrui suddenly expanded infinitely.
Then, the consciousness form began to tremble like a mouse that had encountered a tiger.
It was an aura that made him unable to resist at all. It was an aura that could make him submit from the depths of his consciousness.
“Since it’s like this, it seems that I can change my direction. I shouldn’t use that level 7 skull for now.”
Seeing that the remnant consciousness did not dare to resist, Zhou Mingrui began to use his skill on the skeleton.
[Summoning of the Dead]
[Skill Effect: Using the skeleton of any dead creature as the basic medium to summon the undead to fight as the main body; the strength of the undead is based on the strength of the creature when it was alive and the integrity of the skeleton. The strength of the spellcaster is the base of the increase.]
[Note: If you have the consciousness of the living being when it was still alive, you can greatly reduce energy consumption and increase the overall strength of the undead.]
An energy that was completely different from the phantom energy emerged from Zhou Mingrui’s body. It began to seep into the humanoid skeleton.
In another domain that ordinary people couldn’t see, the humanoid skeleton had already started to emit clusters of cold white flames.
As the energy continued to penetrate and spread, the cold white flame became wider and wider. In the end, it even began to burn fiercely.
After the remnant consciousness saw this scene, it seemed to be attracted by some special sense and directly pounced into its own skeleton that was burning with white flames.
The moment it came into contact with the skeleton, the skeleton that was lying on the ground without any movement in the outside world suddenly emitted a faint black light.
Then, a white flame suddenly appeared at the position of the skull.
The bones that were scattered all over the place began to piece themselves together at an extremely fast speed. At every place where they were put together, there would be worm-like tendons that entangled with each other.
In the end, the bones of the humanoid monster were completely pieced together, and then pieces of flesh began to grow out of thin air.
In its place, the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees began to wither and die, as if their life force had been sucked dry by some invisible force.
The flowers and plants in the distance began to change visibly, but they could not escape the absorption of the invisible force.
It happened too late.
In less than two minutes, the humanoid monster stood up again and knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Mingrui.
The skin was of different colors, and they looked like they were made of many different pieces of cloth.
The flesh on his body was also loose, as if it wasn’t his own flesh, looking extremely strange.

…..
Upon seeing the panel attributes, Zhou Mingrui fell silent for a few seconds before he could only silently grumble, “I miscalculated. He’s indeed trash.”
“Forget it, I already knew that this thing wouldn’t have any good attributes. It’s more than enough to delay the enemy.”
At that moment, a notification suddenly rang out in his mind.
