Chapter 639: Chapter 521, Light Knight Chapter 639: Chapter 521, Light Knight Glenda also shook her head and said, “Indeed, there's been no change, could it only take effect inside your body?”
“Then you guys come back and try,” Wu Heng said.
Two ghosts flew back into their bodies.
After waiting a while, they flew back out again.
Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, Uncle, it really works.”
Glenda also said, “The necromantic power in your body is more active now, and it has affected us as well; our absorption rate is roughly double what it was before.”
Nourishing ghosts.
It could also be understood as ghosts leveling up while idling within the body.
Necromantic power would nourish them, and their experience points would slowly increase, although the effect was not strong.
It was not as fast as devouring other ghosts.
“The effect is that good?” Wu Heng was also somewhat surprised.
But on second thought, after all, it was an item rewarded for Second Level Merit; the effects certainly wouldn't be too bad.
“If it works, that's good. Do you guys want to go back?” Wu Heng asked.
Xiao Xiao said, “I want to watch cartoons.”
“I'll also stroll around outside.”
Well, nourishing or not, they didn't seem to care too much.
“Then you two go and have fun, Xiao Xiao, keep the volume down when watching cartoons.”
“Okay.”
The two ghosts dispersed, and Wu Heng placed the Yin Jade aside for the time being.
Then, Wu Heng continued to take out the second item, the Troop-Support Jade Talisman.
During the meal earlier, he had asked Xi Ligui about the function of this jade talisman.
According to his library,
It was a hero's ability sealed within the jade talisman.
When in danger, crushing the jade talisman would release the ability inside.
This kind of item could not be obtained through merits but was given to those whom the association paid more attention to.
It was, essentially, a spot for focused protection.
In Xi Ligui's Second Level Merit rewards, there was also one such item, identical to the other.
In any case, it was a fine reward.
After looking through the special items and artifacts, he finally turned to the two skill books.
He took a sip of tea from the teacup.
Offhandedly, he picked up a book on the Corpse Explosion Technique and started to go through it.
As a typical high-damage spell of the Necromancy Sect, it was a spell that almost everyone would learn if they reached the required level.
The principle behind it wasn't too different from the Evil Explosion Skill.
But the effect was to cause the corpse to create a massive explosion.
Even if it didn't destroy buildings, it was enough to kill all the living creatures nearby.
Especially this kind of skill, which could be combined with others.
Corpse Manipulation Skill, Pestilence Skill, and then trigger Corpse Explosion Technique after the pests die.
Forming a combo.
The effects were quite impressive.
Also, because abilities could be combined, more necromancers preferred to control carrion, rather than skeletons, in combat.
Flipping to the last page of the skill book, a system prompt appeared.
[Unlocked skill: Corpse Explosion Technique.]
Finally, he had unlocked the Corpse Explosion Technique.
He pondered for a moment, but considering the current situation wasn't suitable, he abandoned the idea of testing out the skill.
He placed the Corpse Explosion Technique skill book on the back shelf.
After returning, he continued to browse through the second book, the Grave Injury Spell.
From the description in the book, the Grave Injury Spell belonged to a type of curse spell that caused negative status effects.
It was actually similar to Decay Ray and Disease Radiation.
But its level and effect were somewhat stronger.
Once cast on a target, they would suffer from a grave injury effect.
[Unlocked skill: Grave Injury Spell]
The system prompt appeared once again.
After looking through the two skills.
Wu Heng stood up and stretched his body.
It was already deep into the night outside the window.
Not far away, one ghost was reading a book, while another was watching a cartoon.
“You guys keep watching; I'm going to sleep in my room.”
The two ghosts nodded.
Wu Heng went back to the bedroom to rest.
The next day.
After breakfast, Wu Heng went straight to Zombie World.
The Skeleton Army was assembling at the entrance of the factory zone.
The motorcade slowly approached from the direction of the garage, stopping nearby.
Wu Heng took the passenger seat.
Qi Hancai handed over a tablet with the offline map opened and said, “The airport is quite far away, the route set is to skirt around the periphery, and after reaching the nearest point, we'll cross two blocks to get to the airport.”
The route taken by the motorcade was to drive along the outer roads as much as possible,
Then cut through a residential area.
Though this was quite a detour, it was much quicker than crossing the entire provincial city.
Of course, the zombies inside the city were also within the plan for clearing, but the airport had to be captured first.
“Alright, let's set off,” Wu Heng said after a glance.
Qi Hancai nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie, and gave the notice to proceed.
The motorcade started moving, escorted by the Skeleton Army, driving forward.
After the truck had been driving for a while,
Wu Heng asked, “How's it going with Wang Haibing?”
“The military factory's power plant is fine, and now it's running on its own without assigning someone to manage it, as it doesn't need any fuel added anyway. Wang Haibing went to Xinfu City yesterday, he should be checking the power plant by today, no news has come back yet,” Qi Hancai said while driving.
“Urge him a bit when you get back, now is not the time to slow down.”
“Okay, I'll tell him when I return.”
Wu Heng opened a bottle of mineral water and took a sip, “How are the blueprints coming along at headquarters?”
Qi Hancai said, “It seems they are still drawing. There hasn't been much news these past two days. After the airport is captured, I'll inquire about the progress when notifying them.”
“Hmm, good!”
The two finished discussing the power plant and the blueprints.
Qi Hancai then brought up some news from Xinfu City.
One of them was that Wang Ke had married a base member.
There were no certificates.
It was Li Yahong and a few elders from the base who served as witnesses.
Wang Ke was the nurse that Wu Heng and Li Yahong had rescued in the district hospital, who had been hiding inside a refrigerator and was discovered by Xiao Xiao.
Moreover, what impressed Wu Heng the most was Wang Ke's grandmother, who had worshipped many protectors of the household.
Whether it was effective or not was unknown.
But for someone of such age to have survived in those circumstances was quite incredible.
“That's nice, it's a pity we won't have the chance to drink the wedding wine,”
“Yahong said that during the marriage, besides praying to her grandmother, they also kowtowed to you a few times,” Qi Hancai said with a smile, glancing over.
“How did they kowtow? Doesn't that sound a bit inauspicious?”
“Yahong took your place sitting there, but she was representing you.”
Wu Heng thought for a moment, “You gave me a scare, I thought they kowtowed to a photo of me. In the future, let everyone live well, no need for all this formality.”
“Right, Yahong will also come tonight. If we finish early, you might even see her,” Qi Hancai said, her eyes scanning around again.
“Okay, let's speed things up as much as we can.”
It wasn't until noon.
That the convoy finally left the road and entered the residential area.
Roar~!
Deafening roars echoed across the entire area, as a black mass of zombies converged from all directions towards the center.
They formed a huge tide rushing along the road towards them.
Skeleton Flying Dragons screamed out.
Solid iron bullets fell like heavy rain, landing directly among the zombie horde.
Thick smoke rose, and the crowded horde on the road suddenly cleared.
But then, the zombies from behind gathered again and continued their surge forward.
The Skeleton Flying Dragons passed over again, and the iron bombs fell once more.
The horde went down like wheat before the scythe.
“There are Mutated Zombies, all second-level ones, looks like about eight of them,” Glenda reported after scouting and flew back.
Wu Heng took out the Evil Sword and handed it to her, “I'll leave them to you.”
“Alright.” With the Evil Sword in her grip, Glenda flew out.
Halfway through, the Longsword was unsheathed, and streaks of sword light flashed past.
The zombies along the way fell one after another.
The bombardment by the Skeleton Flying Dragons continued relentlessly.
After four or five waves, the speed at which the zombies gathered on the road started to slow down.
Perhaps a few thousand zombies, staggering, continued to approach.
In the past, this was when Wu Heng would order the skeletons to advance.
Letting the Spear Soldiers push forward and kill all that remained.
Today, he had another idea.
He flipped his hand and the Untainted Holy Radiance appeared in his grasp.
This item provided by the association to warn him could summon a Knight Attendant to fight for him.
He was rather curious about what kind of effect it would display.
Moreover, when his assistant 'Shi Yali' described the Knight Attendant, she mentioned that they would level up with each necromantic creature they killed.
Zombies should be considered a type of undead, right?
By characteristics, they were no different from carrion.
Wu Heng placed the Emblem on his chest and stimulated the power within it.
A golden light shot out from the Emblem, coalescing into a knight formed of golden radiance in front of him.
Helmet, armor, and a Longsword in hand.
Although made of light, its contours were clear.
It was like a figurine with a few hundred-watt bulb inside.
The knight glanced around, and the next second, it swiftly brought down its sword towards a skeleton attendant in front.
Wu Heng, who was still observing, was startled and quickly shouted, “Light Knight, stop your attack!”
The Light Sword suspended in mid-air stopped less than two centimeters from the skull helmet.
But it didn't retract; instead, it just hung there suspended.
Damn, that was a vicious move.
If I had been even a moment slower, that sword would have fallen.
Wu Heng pointed to the zombies rushing over from outside and said, “Your targets are those dead creatures, go kill them, for The Holy Court.”
Whoosh~!
The Light Knight turned into a streak of light, piercing through the thick ranks and coalescing again into a knight's figure on the very frontline of the skeletons.
Holding a golden Light Sword, the knight charged towards the incoming wave of zombies.
The sword made of light stabbed forward, instantly piercing the chest of a zombie.
The zombie still roared.
But the next second, flames erupted, immediately engulfing the zombie.
As the Light Sword was drawn out, the zombie turned into a charred corpse and slowly fell to the ground.
Then, the Light Knight plunged into the horde, its weapon swinging out over and over again.
Even if the wounds caused by the blade were not fatal,
As long as it made contact and pierced the flesh, golden flames would engulf the zombies,
Turning them directly into charred remains.
On the battlefield, figure after figure blazed up,
Then just as quickly fell to the ground.
Wu Heng was lifted high by two skeletons, watching the Light Knight's battle.
Good gracious, this was a natural suppression of the undead.
From afar, the number of zombies grew increasingly large,
Encircling the Light Knight. With each attack, the knight's body made of golden light also became thinner.
Wu Heng activated the Emblem once again.
The Light Knight turned into a ray of light and darted back into the Emblem,
Narrowly avoiding being overwhelmed and beaten by the zombies.
He then gave the order, “Advance.”
Rustle~!
The Skeleton Army began to move forward, dealing with the remaining zombies.
“The skeletons are still more reliable,” Wu Heng remarked.
