Chapter 1135: Chapter 877, The Skeleton with Inherited Profession Chapter 1135: Chapter 877, The Skeleton with Inherited Profession The second batch of the Investigation Team would greatly influence the further decisions at headquarters.
If this step is not handled well, all previous efforts might be in vain.
Wu Heng was clearly reminded to stay on Gold and Silver Island during this time, he agreed verbally but was no longer on the island the next moment.
Lilith's expression remained unchanged, yet she inwardly blamed this unreliable man.
“Leader, Wu Heng might have some important matters to attend to,” Shi Yali explained softly with her head lowered, defending her man.
Lilith glanced over, then said, “Notify Andre Willow to represent the city hall. When the time comes, just say that Wu Heng is inspecting the shipping routes and is on his way back.”
“Yes, Leader,” Shi Yali redialed the phone to the Island Lord's Mansion to pass on the instructions.
Prison.
Wu Heng, along with Three Ghosts, exited the surveillance room. Just as they stepped into the prison area, they heard the furious roars of the zombies.
And the rotting stench that pervaded the air.
After all, this was a place for experimenting and cultivating zombies, no matter how much it was cleaned, that rotten smell of the zombies lingered.
Arriving at the door of cell 202, Xiao Xiao poked her head through the iron door for a look.
Then she drew back and looked again, saying, “It's still locked with chains, no issues!”
“Open the door!” Wu Heng commanded to the side.
A skeleton holding the key, unlocked the door.
Roar~!
The moment the iron door was opened, an enraged roar burst forth.
A physically robust zombie, roaring at the people entering, its iron chains tightly stretched, creaking under the strain.
Wu Heng raised his hand and unleashed the [Lightning Bolt Spell], a thick silver serpent struck the zombie in the chest.
The great force hurled it away.
Wu Heng gestured to behind him, and several high-level skeletons rushed in, striking the struggling zombie repeatedly with their weapons before it could stand.
“It's not dead yet!” Bella said.
The bloodied and mutilated zombie on the ground, although incapacitated, its vigorous vitality prevented it from dying, as its body began to self-heal.
“Kill it,” Wu Heng ordered to those behind.
A skeleton with a spear pierced directly through the zombie's mouth, ending its struggle as its body slumped.
After confirming it was dead.
The [Bone Manipulation Skill] was released, the flesh fell off from the corpse, and a winged skeleton stood up from the ground.
With a height of over 1.9 meters, its bones emitted a silvery-gray luster, peculiar flames flickered in its hollow eye sockets.
Although it looked no different from ordinary Soul Fire, there was a sense of cunning and danger about it.
[Spirit Corpse Thief (Level 20)]
Seeing the naming given to the skeleton on the panel, Wu Heng's eyes sharply focused.
A profession had emerged!
The first level 20 skeleton 'Shanshan' had its name given as 'Spiritual Corpse;' this denoted that the skeleton had entered a new phase.
And this time, not only did it embody the Spiritual Corpse, but it also retained the original profession 'thief' before transforming as a zombie.
A sense of anticipation arose in his heart.
He immediately checked the skeleton panel.
[Spirit Corpse Thief (Level 20)]
[Attributes: Constitution 48, Strength 59, Agility 71, Intelligence 38, Perception 55, Charm 12.]
[Expertise: Biological Aberration, Constitution Mutation, Expert in both Long and Short Swords (Grandmaster), Dagger Specialization (Master), Leather Armor Expertise (Master).]
[Skills: Dark Concealment, Weak Point Assault, Reflex Evasion.]
[Dark Concealment]: When situated in a crowd, corners, or shaded areas, your presence is significantly reduced, serving as concealment.
[Weak Point Assault]: Can quickly and precisely identify weaknesses and flaws in targets, seizing the perfect moment for the most effective strike.
[Reflex Evasion]: Formed a reflexive condition to danger, can significantly dodge sudden dangers.
Looking at the panel, Wu Heng's eyes brightened.
Indeed, some traits of the previous profession were inherited.
Especially inheriting weapon specialization and armor expertise.
This also meant that the skeleton was not just an increase in levels and attributes but could truly use the original equipment and weapons.
In terms of skills, three skills were retained.
[Dark Concealment] would reduce its presence, [Weak Point Assault] was for identifying and attacking targets' weak points, and [Reflex Evasion] formed a neural reflex against attacks, able to quickly dodge some sudden strikes.
Each one was very in line with the innate characteristics of the thief profession, and more like inheriting the foundational skills of a thief.
Those skills learned later were not inherited.
But a level 20 thief, even though now capable of flying, possessed undeniable combat strength.
“Last time, who did we agree on to name it?” Wu Heng looked towards Three Ghosts.
It had been discussed last time that subsequent transformed skeletons should be named by Three Ghosts.
Glenda said, “Count me out, not too interested.”
Bella also smiled, “Naming, Xiao Xiao has a talent for it.”
Wu Heng looked at Xiao Xiao, “The consensus is on you, go ahead and name it!”
Xiao Xiao immediately said, “It's called Tiao Tiao, and the one in 204 is called 'Pot Lid.'”
Good lord!
Even the one in 204 had been named.
Wu Heng, puzzled, asked, “Where did the inspiration for the name Tiao Tiao come from?”
“It's quite active,” Xiao Xiao answered, “Does it sound bad? Would 'Bouncing Hero' sound more impressive?”
“Let's stick with Tiao Tiao!” Wu Heng said, looking at the skeleton, and ordered, “From now on, you'll be called Tiao Tiao.”
The skeleton nodded its skull, then walked out of the rubble.
Wu Heng pulled out an iron sword, picked the Corpse Core out of the rubble, and stored it in a plastic bag.
