Chapter 53

Ye Yang was restless all night.

From time to time in the distance came the roar of various mutant creatures. In the early morning, a large number of mice even came out of nowhere and gathered here towards Ye Yang. Hundreds of mice competed to bite the giant elephant's body, not afraid of the smell of dead bears.

Ye Yang could only climb high and control the skeleton to cut the mouse with a knife.

The skeleton was "resurrected" from the nearby corpse, and the knife was found in the scrapped off-road vehicle.

The rats ate the elephant meat. One just rolled on the ground. Some rolled a few times and died. One rolled a few times and burst into red light. After the light converged, it became a mouse with red hair.

On the head of the elephant, the mouse picked out an oval red gem emitting red light. The red haired mouse grabbed it and ate it, but the body exploded.

Ye Yang asked the skeleton to take the gem. The ghost fog shrouded it. A group of mice wandered around. They were very unwilling, but they couldn't find the gem.

Skeletons and "resurrected corpses" were constantly cut down. The elephant's corpses were eaten so that only the bones were left, and the mice left.

"What gem is this... Eh? Energy crystal core?"

Ye Yang remembered that when he killed a zombie of a color changing lizard at the subway station, he got an energy crystal core, but it was yellowish brown and did not shine. Ye Yang handed it over to Zhou Na for safekeeping before returning to the world. Now this one, however, is red and still glows.

"There are such nuclei in mutant animals?"

Ye Yang controls the skeleton and cuts open the giant bear's body. This time, no energy crystal core is found, but the giant bear's eyes are dug out.

Both eyes were intact, including the one shot by the bone spear, but it was stuffed into the brain without damage.

"It's as hard as steel, and it also emits yellow and green light... Is it an energy crystal core?"

After Ye Yang washed the crystal nuclei with water, he found a box and packed them.

According to Zhou Na, there are some powerful energy crystal nuclei, which will emit weak radiation energy and have an impact on the human body. If they are stored in a sealed box with lead, radiation overflow can be avoided. If it is a magnetized iron box or a special tempered crystal bottle, it can also resist most of the radiation.

Ye Yang's physique has reached 18 points. He should not be afraid of this radiation, and the ghost fog can also block this radiation... Before, rats couldn't find the crystal nucleus in the ghost fog. But ye Yang carefully wrapped the crystal nucleus with a cloth and put it in a magnetic box.

At three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, only thirty meters away from here, a big snake with a length of more than 100 meters crawled past the barren branches and shrubs on the roadside, making a creepy sound.

Ye Yang was shrouded in black fog and curled up behind another huge cement column of the toll station. The atmosphere dared not breathe.

"It is said that the snake has its head cut off and can twist its body desperately. It is estimated that my bone spear can't kill it at one stroke..."

There is no plan to "fight" with this snake.

Fortunately, it did not find Ye Yang. It was not interested in the skeletons and the bodies on the ground, and gradually climbed away.

"No wonder there are a lot of Realgar in the living materials of the migration team, which should have been sprinkled around in advance." Ye Yang muttered.

It's getting brighter

He slept and woke up, testing his skills.

"Summon skeletons, you can find out the characteristics of this skill.

"When you summon for the first time, or when you summon again after the skeleton is destroyed, each skeleton will consume 10 points of mental power. Let them lie down and don't move at all, and almost nothing will be consumed. However, if you are active, 0.1 points of mental power will be deducted per minute, and only 1 point will be deducted in 10 minutes. If it is a fierce battle, the loss will be increased by three to five times.

"However, a battle doesn't take too long. Moreover, when I sleep, they can still guard me and play a great role. However, when in danger, they won't take the initiative to attack the target, which is not as good as' resurrecting the corpse '. It is estimated that the level is still low.

"When I am sleeping, they will continue to reduce my mental strength, but they don't deduct much, so there is no need to lift the call. Their combat effectiveness is not as good as the 'resurrected corpse', they have many weaknesses, but they also have considerable advantages.

"For example, I can control up to 3 skeletons at the same time, but at the cost of double mental power, I can summon up to 6 skeletons. However, I can only command 3 of them at the same time, and the other 3 skeletons will stop automatically.

"In addition, the biggest advantage is that as long as they keep moving, they can provide me with skill proficiency!!!"

This is what makes Ye Yang most excited.

This means that you can summon skeletons to come out and let them jump around before going to bed. As soon as you wake up, your skill proficiency will increase greatly. He has a hunch that this skill will upgrade faster than other skills.

"It's time to go... The fire in Anshu city is too big to get in. First turn around and rush to Wuyin City, meet Zhou Naning and Xinyun, and then consider something else."

Ye Yang packed his bags and looked at the giant bear's body with some regret.

The skill level of "resurrected corpse" is not high.

Ye Yang estimated that it would take at least two more levels to control the dead body of the giant bear.

Ascension direction 1: creatures killed by themselves can also be "resurrected".

Direction 2: dead creatures with brain damage of more than 5% can also be resurrected.

"In the next upgrade, first improve the first direction, and then find a chance to kill a powerful wild mutant animal. When the time comes... Hey hey." Ye Yang imagined that he was standing on the head of a 100 meter long giant snake, or riding on a giant bear more than ten meters high, or standing far away. With a wave of his hand, the Super Mutant beast roared and rushed forward. Who can stop it?

That would be wonderful.

However, it is still just a fantasy.

……

He let one of the "white skeleton" carry his huge luggage. Without crushing it, he let it follow.

In front is the "resurrected corpse", Ye Yang is in the middle, and there are two other white skeletons on the left and right sides.

Although it is broad daylight, Ye Yang's skeletons are not afraid of the sun at all.

Because he was too slow to walk, he gradually turned into a trot. He was not tired because of his physique. When he ran less than two kilometers, Ye Yang saw a strange desolate field, with many trees and shrubs of different heights. There were all kinds of strange weeds on the ground that Ye Yang had never seen, as well as some fresh bone heads and broken foam of flesh and blood mixed in the soil.

Ye Yang was even more surprised that there were several huge roots on the nearby ground, such as the thickness of human arms. I don't know what plants fell off. The skeleton cut several times with a knife and only broke a layer of skin.

Ye Yang pondered for a moment and retreated for a distance. The black fog shrouded his body and let the skeleton go to the weeds.

"Dig!!!"

Dig out the weeds on the surface and pick up the soil below. Suddenly, the thick and thin roots of an arm drill out. As soon as they are thrown, the skeleton will fly and become broken bones. The root was recovered underground at a very fast speed.

Ye Yang suddenly changed his face and opened his mouth.

"Strange roots with barbs? Is it the 'giant tentacle' that I saw last night?"

Don't dare to stay long. Run away.

Although it is speculated that these things may only come out for normal activities at some time late at night, otherwise the people of the migration team and the slave hunting team can't run around at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Aren't they afraid of being swallowed by monsters or "eaten" by these roots?

However, they dare not try by themselves.

Moving on, you can see some strange creatures moving from time to time. For example, a group of ducks with horns on their heads quack and fly by. Surprisingly, one of the ducks flies and has rotten meat falling off. I don't know whether the zombie has mutated into a strange duck or whether the strange duck has fallen down due to the zombie virus.

Sometimes, you can also see a group of small Firebirds fluttering like sparrows. The flame easily scorches or even ignites the branches on which it stands.

On both sides of the road, you can see many abandoned cars, rusted, covered with moss, weeds, trees and vines, and some have become mouse nests and ant nests. Of course, there are also some corpses that have completely rotted into bone debris, that is, moving human zombies are rare.

"It would be much better if we could have a car instead of walking. In case of danger, we can also step on the accelerator and rush over..."

I don't know who cleared this expressway. There are basically no obstacles in the middle route, which can barely allow two large trucks to go opposite.

After another distance, the clouds rolled high in the sky, the thunder rumbled, and the air became a little cool.

"No, it looks like it's going to rain."

Will the rain in the apocalyptic sky be "nourishing"?

For example, turning living people into zombies?

This is a very serious problem.

"There's no shelter from the rain around. Besides, I'm a necromancer, and I have to travel on two legs like a martial artist? It's unreasonable. Even if I have a good physique and am not afraid of fatigue, it's much better to be able to sit and lie than to travel hard?"

Ye Yang frowned and thought about it. He turned to look at some bamboos growing wildly on the roadside, and then looked at several skeletons around him. He remembered that there seemed to be a Raincloth in the backpack on the skeleton. He couldn't help but think of a strange idea

"The meaning of the birth of the skeleton is to serve the necromancer. If my idea is correct... Then I don't have to travel with the skeleton with two legs."
