Bone 1

Translator: 549690339

After evolution, Duo Lai tested his new abilities as usual, giving Mu Yuan a clear understanding of the high-level skill Dimensional Pocket.

“The Dimensional Pocket has a space of more than 60 cubic meters, which can hold a considerable amount of goods, ten times more than the Rare Storage Ring I obtained before. And, this skill, in tandem with Duo Lai’s strength, can also continuously expand the internal space.”

That’s one thing.

The Dimensional Pocket skill is not only used as a storage bag.

Duo Lai opened his mouth, which initially was a normal mouth grown on a jelly-like surface, but in a blink, it turned into a somber black hole, seeming able to devour everything.

And indeed, it could devour everything.

“Duo Lai’s devouring ability can swallow and digest energy attacks, but during battles, it dares not to devour too potent attacks, for fear of overeating, and it can’t spare much effort to digest these during battles. But with the Dimensional Pocket, it’s like having a transfer station for devouring.”

Well, one has to admit, it’s perfect.

Duo Lai’s two core skills and one core talent not only are high-level, but also mesh together seamlessly. Perhaps this is the advantage of the ‘Hidden Class.’ Compared with Dead Bone, despite having the form of a grand emperor, his training wasn’t as smooth sailing as Duo Lai’s. Dead Bone has always been envious of Duo Lai’s stable set of skills.”

‘Ding!’

‘Prompt: Your troop ‘Skeleton Mortician-Dead Bone’ has developed Bones of Grief, producing a subordinate skill ‘Bone Wing’.’

‘Prompt: Your troop ‘Dead Bone’ has created the Decay of Grief ability based on undead energy, charge, and death extraction.’

‘Decline of Grief: This skill allows the user to attach special energy to an attack, which, upon hitting an enemy, can bring them additional negative effects such as slowdown, weakness, and life drain.’

Mu Yuan:”?”

The next day, Mu Yuan got up early.

He browsed the morning news released on the forum.

‘At present, the 29 newly born boundary zones within the country have largely stabilized, with 21 of them officially opened to players.’

‘In Boundary Zone N0.26, the expedition team made a significant discovery, not only unearthing an intact underground palace of a former civilization, but also finding a special item ‘The Hero’s Proof’. According to the agreement before exploration and the result of Battle Will, Lord Xiong Tianba eventually seized this proof. His powerful follower, the Black Knight, also successfully passed the Hero Trial, upgrading to a Hero Unit.’

“A Hero Unit, huh…”

“If I had a Hero Unit myself, I wouldn’t have to run twenty kilometers painstakingly to cleanse the Root of Corruption.”

Of course, the uniqueness and preciousness of a hero go far beyond this.

For a territory, a hero is a commander.

Heroes, like chosen Lords, can command their troops with their minds, able to share some of a Lord’s abilities and handle a Lord’s affairs. Not only that, but heroes can also increase the strength of their troops.

Under the leadership of high-level heroes, even Little Skeletons could have the power to fight Big Goblins, or even the Goblin Warriors.

Heroes can also have strategic talents and use strategic treasures, etc.

“But what does this have to do with me? There are many senior lords without heroes.”

While savoring a lemon, Mu Yuan dismissed the morning news.

He used Spiritual Link to contact the distant Battle Falcon and let it open the shared view. He could see that Dead Bone, Bone Two, Bone Three, and other elite soldiers had set off in advance and were tackling prominent monster groups one by one along the path.

‘Prompt: Your troops have killed 23 monsters such as Goblins.’

‘Prompt: Your troops have killed 17 monsters such as Blood wolves.’

‘Prompt: Your troops have destroyed a Kobold camp.’

There was even a rare monster in this camp, a level-9 Kobold Shaman. It lift its staff high, and in the blink of an eye, a huge fireball was fired.

The next moment,

Whoosh–

The spiked bone let out a sound, piercing the entire fireball without decreasing its momentum, then pierced the shaman’s head. The whole head burst like a watermelon, and the shaman fell straight down.

In just a few minutes, Dead Bone had taken this monster camp.

Of course, the subsequent cleaning up and collecting of spoils took longer.

Mu Yuan also set off.

His team was not large, but each member was exceptional.

Hopping and jumping at the forefront was the territory’s General, Duo Lai. Three Skeleton Warriors and three Silver Slimes were spread out on all sides.

Behind them were the Great Lord Shepherd under the protection of three level-7 Imperial Guards.

Three stout shields were lifted up, providing an immense sense of security. Further back, there were two reserve Imperial Guards and several skeleton warriors clearing up the rear.

The elite squad advanced along the path that the Undead had cleared, pressing forward persistently.

They inevitably encountered monsters along the way.

Yet, no matter if it were goblins or grey wolves, or even jackal men, all these monsters were killed by the skeleton warriors before they could get within a hundred meters of Mu Yuan.

Thud, thud

Suddenly, several little black dots appeared in the distance.

Harpy! These creatures, scantily clad with curvaceous bodies, appeared rough and ferocious and swirled down from the sky with a stench of blood.

Then, they were swatted away by a huge palm that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, like swatting away flies.

“Squawk-”

Duo Lai withdrew his palm, tucking his hands in at his waist and let out a soft huff.

Mu Yuan: Well, that’s my Duo Lai.

After more than two hours of long journey, Lord Shepherd finally reached his destination. In the distance, faint wisps of red mist could be vaguely seen wafting around, the ground had become somewhat desiccated, showing a faint brown color. The towering trees further away were almost withered, with only a few dry yellow leaves still in the mix.

“The Root of Corruption continually draws energy from the earth, damaging the surrounding environment. As a lord whose heart is concerned with the world’s safety, how can I turn a blind eye? We must purify it thoroughly!”

“Attack!”

The horn had been sounded and the war had been ignited.

Mu Yuan narrowed his eyes as invisible strands of mental link emanated akin to a large net, linking each and every vanguard elite.

Perhaps, under the command of General Dead Bone, it won’t be too difficult to encircle these mobs.

However,

Being here already, as the Great Lord, he couldn’t just stand idly by. It would be great to try using the Spiritual Link in real-time combat.

He simultaneously linked dozens of units!

Sensing the same reality in the physical world, Mu Yuan simply closed his eyes.

The first team, lure the enemy.

The second team, ambush.

The third team, charge.

Quickly, a swarm of bat-like monsters rushed out from the Land of Filth and descended like a small cloud of darkness.

What met them, however, were Fireball Techniques, arrows, and accurately thrown spears.

“Second team, fall back! First team, flank.”

“Try to kill the enemy outside the Land of Filth.”

There were many monsters in the Land of Filth, and even more types.

However, whenever a monster showed up, they were met with Triple Shots and thrown spears, the strong shooters and the skeleton warriors had their targets allocated by Mu Yuan’s precise command, not a single shot was wasted.

If any strong target individual appeared, ‘Bone Two’ and ‘Bone Three’ would throw a charged spear and instantly kill them.

Every now and then, Mu Yuan directed them to perform strategic pulls, backline cuts, and aerial attacks.

In just under two minutes, over a hundred enemies had been wiped out.

At this point, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the Land of Filth. A Goblin, covered in blue-purple tattoos with bluish skin and bulging muscles, slowly walked out.

He held two curved blades in his hands, which emitted dazzling flashes of Thunderbolt.

As he quickly swung his blade downwards, the piercing Thunderbolt launched out like a roaring thunder snake, causing the ground to constantly fracture.

“This is…Thunder Goblin!”

“And it’s definitely at the Professional Level!”

“The guard techniques of the two Imperial Guards may not be able to withstand this magic attack.”

So,

A chubby figure descends from the sky, landing at the very forefront of the line.

It extends its palm, and a line like a mouth forms on the center of it.

The next moment, the line opens up into a black hole, swallows the crackling incoming Thunderbolt without a trace of smoke..
