Chapter 413 The First Undead Mount: The Evolution of a Corpse Clone!
In this way, one can ride the moon deer in natural terrains such as forests.
In other terrains such as flat grasslands or muddy swamps, the Scourge squad's marching speed will be extremely fast by switching to skeletal warhorses and mutated swamp frogs.
After choosing a mount, Ark carefully selected some support-type natural creatures.
In the end, the four of them each chose a flower butterfly as a forest scout.
These flower butterfly maidens are not only beautiful in appearance, with colorful patterns inlaid on their wings, but they also fly extremely fast and have a wide field of vision, making them very suitable for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering in the forest.
Anyway, the purpose of the Disaster Squad is to protect the Forest of Nature and drive away the invading monsters.
These natural creatures are equipped with their own food for combat, so the Ark and its crew don't need to pay any extra price.
Unfortunately, these natural creatures are relatively weak in direct combat.
Aside from leveraging their racial advantages to provide some assistance in reconnaissance and logistics, they can't offer much more help to the Ark in combat.
In addition, considering that this flower fairy outpost itself also needs a certain level of defense, and that other Sea City Military Academy cadets will be visiting in the future, Ark did not recruit too many natural creatures into its combat ranks at once.
After recruiting and signing simple combat contracts with these natural creatures, Fangzhou stretched slightly and led the Cataclysm Squad toward the Flower Elf Tribe.
What followed was a grand feast.
More importantly, after obtaining permission from the flower fairy leader, Liu Diewu and Zhang Wu, both nature-attribute professionals, could choose two flower fairies to possess and spirit, making them their battle partners.
We'll have to wait and see how the two flower fairies that are destined to be together play out tonight.
Even something as powerful as Ark would envy.
I wonder if there are any mutated flower fairies with death attributes that could possess and spirit this necromancer?
As night fell, the flower fairies lit up even more small lights.
The entire tribe was bathed in soft light, making it appear even more peaceful and beautiful.
The members of Ark and the Disaster Squad sat around the campfire, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
The surrounding flower fairies also gathered around, expressing their welcome and gratitude in their own unique way.
Some flower fairies offered a beautiful bouquet of flowers, while others used their nimble fingers to weave an exquisite wreath, which they hung around the neck of their human giant ally.
In addition, of course, there are all kinds of fresh fruits and fine wines.
These foods and drinks have an enticing aroma that makes your mouth water.
Fangzhou picked up a crystal-clear fruit, took a small bite, and immediately felt a sweet juice fill his mouth.
A warm energy surged into my body, and I felt refreshed and invigorated.
The other team members also tasted the fresh fruit and fine wine, their faces beaming with satisfaction.
Afterwards, Liu Diewu and Zhang Wu began to communicate with the flower fairies to find suitable targets for possession and spiritualization.
One by one, the flower fairies flew up to them, displaying their abilities and specialties.
Liu Diewu chose a flower fairy with golden patterns on its wings.
The flower fairy's eyes sparkled with wisdom, clearly indicating that it was a very intelligent being.
Zhang Wu then chose a flower fairy with a slender figure and agile movements.
This flower fairy's wings are light yet powerful, clearly demonstrating excellent speed and agility.
As night deepened, the light from the campfire gradually softened.
The members of Ark and the Disaster Squad gradually relaxed, washing away the fatigue of a day's battle.
After a night of revelry, Fangzhou returned to his tent, washed up briefly, and then activated his portable meditation array to enter a meditative state.
Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood; tonight we'll have a good hunt.
Beneath the blood moon, atop the hills of corpses.
The skeletal clone slightly opened its eyes.
Today, due to the main body's intense battles, the skeletal clone has been in a near-dormant state to ensure absolute safety, and its soul strength is now exceptionally high.
Since the last time the Ark defeated and devoured the Skeleton Commander and his Skeleton Legion, no new skeleton clusters have been found in the vicinity.
Clearly, he had wiped out the Skeleton Lord's minions in this area.
During this time, Ark has been venturing deep into the Corpse Hills to hunt other skeleton clusters while also constantly gathering and enslaving various mutated skeletons.
Today, after traversing a long wilderness, he has finally made a new discovery.
Through the soul link with the Skeleton King, a long string of information appeared on his attribute panel.
"Your servant 'Arrow One' is dead."
"Your servant 'Giant Axe Number One' is dead."
"Your servant, Greatsword Number One," is dead.
The skeleton servants of the Ark are hunting in all directions.
In the process of continuously slaying other skeletons, there will naturally be a lot of damage.
This is normal.
However, when news of the near-total annihilation of Skull Squad 1 in a short period of time appeared, the situation seemed abnormal!
It's important to know that in the past few days, the skeleton servants under Ark's command have been attacking in groups and have not encountered any organized groups of skeletons again.
Even when they have an overwhelming numerical advantage, they can still be wiped out as a whole.
The most likely explanation is that Squad 1 discovered the mutated skeletons that had been hidden and had not been found by the Skeleton Legion under the Skeleton Lord's command!
Only in this way could his skeletal minions be killed in large numbers in a short period of time.
With a sudden thought, Fangzhou quickly switched his view and focused his attention on Long Spear No. 1, the last remaining member of Skull Squad No. 1.
Looking into the distance, one can see a massive skeletal warhorse galloping among a pile of bones.
Its head also has an unusually sharp horn, which gleams with a dark light.
With each thrust, several skeletons were consumed by the aura of death and fell to the ground, dying.
This mutated skeletal warhorse possesses attack power and speed far exceeding that of ordinary skeletons, making it an extremely dangerous opponent.
This discovery greatly surprised and delighted Ark.
He immediately relinquished control of Long Spear No. 1 and ordered the nearby skeleton servants to hold back the berserk, mutated skeletal warhorse as much as possible.
Then, he immediately got up and rushed towards the location of the mutated skeletal warhorse as fast as he could!
The growth of the four-dimensional attributes makes the Ark even faster than before.
It took Ark less than ten minutes to travel from his previous location to the spot where the skeletal warhorse had appeared.
During this time, in order to prevent the skeletal warhorse from leaving and losing its trace, the Ark also specifically instructed the skeleton servants on the battlefield to hold their ground as much as possible.
The objective was not to kill the skeletal warhorse, but to buy time and ensure that he could arrive in time.
The growth of the skeletal warhorse also requires consuming the essence of bones and hunting skeletons.
As long as there are still skeletons to hunt on the battlefield, that skeletal warhorse will not leave easily.
Therefore, when the Ark appeared on the battlefield, what you saw was still a figure galloping forward, charging into battle, and constantly killing skeletons!
This skeletal warhorse was extremely tall, even taller than the mounts of the knights who appeared on the battlefield at the Haicheng Military Academy.
As a type of mutated skeleton, the Skeleton Warhorse also lacks any flesh or blood.
However, its bones were extremely thick, and as its four hooves galloped, wisps of black mist emanated from it, making this skeletal warhorse appear even more majestic and powerful than a living warhorse!
As it approached the skeletal warhorse and sensed the details around it, Ark immediately and keenly realized that its aura was far stronger than that of the ordinary skeletal warhorses summoned by its main body.
This is a mutated skeletal warhorse that has also reached the pinnacle of the upper-tier Black Iron level.
Whether it is the growth of the soul fire, the size and sturdiness of its body, or even its combat wisdom on the battlefield, it far surpasses its kind.
Fangzhou charged to the edge of the battlefield, observing with interest the skeletal warhorse that was still brazenly trampling on its skeleton servants.
There is no category called Skeleton Knight in the Skeleton race's advancement chain!
This has resulted in Ark not finding suitable undead creatures as assault units at the Iron tier.
Now that Ark has arrived on the battlefield, with his terrifying combat power that crushes all undead of the same level, he naturally regards this rare mutated skeletal warhorse as his own.
The size of this skeletal warhorse perfectly matches his current imposing 3-meter-tall physique.
I wonder if he can transform into a skeleton knight once he enslaves this skeletal warhorse?
Ark quickly assessed the situation on the battlefield, ordering the surrounding skeleton servants to continue restraining the skeletal warhorse while it slowly approached.
He did not conceal his presence.
The faint aura emanating from it, far surpassing that of ordinary skeletal servants, immediately caught the attention of the skeletal warhorse.
To Ark's surprise, when it discovered itself, the skeletal warhorse not only did not flee, but instead turned around and charged towards Ark!
Wisps of black mist swirled around the skeletal warhorse, causing the death energy and the skeletal body to become one.
With this combined change, the skeletal warhorse charged out of the chaotic lines of skeletal servants with unstoppable momentum!
Along the way, any skeleton that stood in the way of the skeletal warhorse was sent flying by its powerful impact, falling far to the ground.
Ark took a liking to the skeletal warhorse, and the skeletal warhorse also took a liking to Ark.
The difference is that Ark values the skeletal warhorse for its preciousness and power, and wants to enslave it and turn it into its own mount.
The skeletal warhorse, on the other hand, coveted the essence of bones represented by the Ark.
charge!
As they were about to leave the pile of bones, the skeletal warhorse let out a silent, soulful neigh.
With that neigh, the skeletal warhorse's momentum surged!
Its speed also doubled at that moment!
He rode alone on horseback, charging towards them at an extremely fast speed.
When it was only a dozen meters away from the ark, the skeletal warhorse lowered its head, revealing its long, single horn.
A dark light flickered.
When the distance between the two was only four or five meters, the single horn, which seemed capable of piercing even the city wall, thrust towards the head of the ark with an indomitable momentum!
boom!!
A heavy impact rang out.
When the skeletal warhorse charged towards them with its single horn atop its head, Ark neither dodged nor evaded, nor even drew the skeletal spear from its back; instead, it stood there upright.
The ark only moved when the unicorn was only a little over a meter away from its head.
His feet, covered in black armor, stood firmly on the ground, while his other hand, also covered in gauntlets, rose with lightning speed and grabbed the attacking horn!
This is a skeletal warhorse in a charging stance!
It is easy to imagine how much power is contained in this sharp horn.
Despite the immense force, the Ark still managed to firmly grasp the stabbing horn.
A sharp, piercing sound, like a knife scraping glass, rang out.
The powerful unicorn rubbed against the Ark's gauntlets, sparks flying everywhere.
The skeletal warhorse's entire force seemed to be concentrated on this single horn, trying to force it forward and pierce the Ark's eye socket.
However, with a gentle squeeze from the Ark, no matter how hard the skeletal warhorse tried, the unicorn remained completely still.
The ark left only two deep footprints on the ground, and with its own power, it easily stopped a charging skeletal warhorse!
At that moment, the Ark's momentum reached its peak.
Then—a berserk power of up to 100 points surged from Ark's body.
He grabbed the black horn with both hands and yanked and slammed it down!
The massive skeletal warhorse was lifted up by the Ark, spun around in mid-air, and slammed hard onto the ground!
Smoke and dust scattered, and the earth trembled.
The skeletal warhorse lay on the ground, unable to move for a moment.
Perhaps even it couldn't have imagined that the Ark would deflect its charge in this way.
Even more unimaginable is that this undead, whose race is difficult to discern, is of such terrifying power and physique, despite also being of the Black Iron rank!
"hiss"
A silent, mournful cry of the soul spread out, and large pieces of broken bone fell from its body.
Fangzhou did not kill them.
Otherwise, with his current strength and the sharpness of the skeletal spear, he could tear the head of this skeletal warhorse apart with a single blow!
However, as a rare mutated skeleton, since Ark has taken a liking to it, this skeletal warhorse with infinite potential is destined to become Ark's mount.
Even as the Ark pressed it to the ground with immense force, the skeletal warhorse continued to struggle frantically, trying to regain control of its single horn and plunge it into the Ark's body.
However, for the skeleton race, the Skeleton King skill that the Ark possesses under the blessing of the Blood Moon gives it supreme dominance over them.
He didn't need to cripple the skeletal warhorse, nor did he need to render it incapable of resistance.
What he needs is nothing more than a continuous input of his soul and will!
