The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 101
Chapter 101: Chapter loo, Phantom Shape _i
Li Yahong turned around and left, also breathing a sigh of relief.
The person’s disappearance over the past few days had scared everyone at the auto repair shop.
At present, the cooperation between the two parties was still going smoothly. Her side provided labor in exchange for the other side’s food and protection. Although it couldn’t be compared with life before the zombie outbreak, considering most survivors, here offered enough food and safety, making it the best refuge.
Even the bases established by the officials might not be better than where they were living now.
Therefore, people at the auto repair shop did not want anything to happen to him.
When she returned to the auto repair shop, the others also came to meet her.
“How is it, Sister Hong? What’s going on with that King Yama, is he still alive?” Qiangzi asked directly.
Li Yahong nodded her head, “It’s alright, he seems to have gone out for a trip, it has nothing to do with us.”
The others all breathed a sigh of relief as well.
It’s good that nothing happened.
It scared the hell out of me.
“Did he tell you what he’s going to do next?” Qiangzi continued to inquire.
“Checkall the vehicles and prepare to go to the prison tomorrow.”
“Really going? It’s so far away!”
“If he’s going there, what can I do about it.”
“Oh, okay!”
After seeing off Li Yahong, Wu Heng also returned to the neighborhood.
The neighborhood had been safe during the days he had not come over.
Nothing special had happened.
Actually, he was somewhat worried on his way here since all his possessions were here.
If the skeleton soldiers were wiped out by a horde of zombies while he was not around, there would really be no place for him to cry.
“Bring those corpses over.” Wu Heng ordered straight away.
A few skeletons immediately moved to one side.
The corpses were the old women killed in the temple.
Although they were referred to as old women, their level of bizarre appearance made them look more like humanoid monsters.
Their skin was withered and covered with tumors and pus-filled sores.
When Wu Heng went to the adventurers’ guild in Lundham City, he too saw bounties for these creatures.
Called Ghost Hags, each bounty amounted to more than 300 silver pieces.
The bounty wasn’t small.
Although Wu Heng saw it, he didn’t turn over the corpses.
He planned to first convert one and see what its attributes were like. If there was nothing special, he would hand over the rest to collect the money.
Thump thump-!
Four corpses were carried over and thrown onto the ground.
Wu Heng did not delay and immediately cast the Bone Manipulation Skill.
The Necromancy spell enveloped the first corpse. The flesh fell off, and the stooped white bones stood up.
Skeleton Ghost Hag (Level 8)
Level: 8
Attributes: Constitution 16, Strength 18, Agility 12, Intelligence 13, Perception 14, Charm 8.
Specialties: Hollow Skeleton, Intermediate Soul
Expertise: Basic Light Armor Specialization, Intermediate Poison Specialization.
Ability: Shared casting, Shape-shifting
Skills: Disease Radiation, Curse.
Shared casting: When three or more Skeleton Ghost Hags gather together (within a maximum distance of 100 meters), they can share spells with each other.
Shape-shifting: Ghost Hags can envelop themselves and their belongings in a layer of magic illusion (mimic living beings, maximum time 30 minutes).
Curse: Touch the target to afflict it with a curse, lowering the target’s attributes.
Looking at the target’s attributes, Wu Heng felt they were a bit strange. Regarding the attributes, it had high constitution and strength, but its skills were magic-based.
This Ghost Hag, its development path was off.
In terms of abilities, there were two, one was shared casting, Ghost Hags can share magic when three or more gather together.
Another was shape-shifting, allowing for shape changes, which was likely the trick used to seduce men by turning into a nun.
This shape-shifting was not considered a skill, but one of the inherent abilities of the occupation.
Now that it has become a skeleton, the ability is limited, and it can only mimic living beings for a maximum of 30 minutes.
Originally in the temple, the time the Ghost Hag spent disguised as a nun was much longer.
Those passing merchants were completely drained by it.
It must be because it has become a skeleton, while the ability still exists, the effect has been reduced.
Finally, there were two skills ‘Disease Radiation’ and ‘Curse’.
The Book of Necromancy mentioned that there was a drawback to the conversion of magic-related occupations. Any school of mages would only retain necromancy spells at the moment of conversion.
Even if they have a soul and learn again, they can only learn necromancy.
They can’t perceive and use the magic power of other elements.
After reading all the attributes.
He felt that the ‘Skeleton Ghost Hag’ was somewhat mediocre, neither a good magic user nor a good warrior.
But the ability ‘Shape-shifting’ still had its own unique features, perhaps it could be useful in the future.
Mainly he did not lack money, there was no need to rush to complete this task.
After deciding, he consecutively released the Bone Manipulation Skill, converting all three Ghost Hag corpses into skeletons.
The three Skeleton Ghost Hags all stood up one after the other, hunching their backs and standing to one side.
To be honest, their appearance as skeletons was easier to accept than their previous form.
Among the Ghost Hags, the highest was level 9, and the lowest was level 7, and their attributes were not much different.
There was nothing special about them.
After Wu Heng rested for a while, he went to the pile of zombie corpses nearby and released the Dead Bones Battlefield skill, converting all the zombie bodies collected by the ‘Big Head Skeleton’ over the past few days into skeletons.
Then he found a bedroom to rest in.
He had no choice. Although the accommodation in Lundham City was not bad, there was no furniture.
He could only rest in this world for now.
The next day, in the morning.
Three military trucks, one cargo truck, and one bus were parked outside the neighborhood.
Wu Heng walked out of the neighborhood and saw the several parked vehicles in the middle of the road from afar.
The truck was also found later, mainly used to carry skeleton soldiers.
The vehicle door, as well as the engine area, had been reinforced with iron plates, with iron bars welded onto the windows.
The front end was even reinforced with something like a battering ram.
It looked quite fierce.
It gave people a Post-apocalyptic feeling.
Each truck at the back was covered with a tarpaulin to prevent skeletons from being blown off due to high speed.
Li Yahong jumped down from the first vehicle and walked straight over.
Taking out a route map from her hand, she opened it and said, “We head south along the road, after passing the Sanjin Bridge, there will be fewer residents, and the roads will be clearer. At that time, we will follow the road can reach the path leading to the prison, someone will arrange to meet us then.”
“Alright, we’ll go by your route.” Wu Heng nodded.
He also had a map in his hand, and the route was the same as the one he had thought of.
Then, Wu Heng continued to arrange the entire convoy.
In the front was a military truck driven by Li Yahong, the second was also a military truck, the third was a minivan, the fourth was a large truck, and finally another military truck.
The main goal was to protect the minivan in the middle.
But the drivers of the first and last truck had the most pressure.
After the preparations were almost done.
Wu Heng let the skeleton soldiers carry bags of rice and other things they needed along the way and put it in the truck directly.
Then he gave another order, “Have all the skeleton warriors get into the back of the truck.”
Whoosh-!
Many skeletons moved, climbing into the back of the truck.
One skeletal figure after another stood in the truck bed.
