Chapter 1284: Chapter 1284

"Let’s summon one now to take a look—a level 35 Dragon Tomb Guardian should definitely be stronger than the previous ones."

Lin Yushi approached with a curious expression. Du You rolled his eyes and said, "Let’s go, let’s head back. There are so many useless undead creatures waiting; why summon one here?"

Lin Yucha also said, "Yeah, a hundred thousand Demonic Flame Skeletons can summon a Bone Dragon, and its strength is absolutely stronger than two Dragon Tomb Guardians." After all, Dragon Tomb Guardians are there to guard the Dragon Tomb, while Bone Dragons are truly part of the Dragon Clan. Although they aren’t acknowledged by the Dragon Clan, they are still a part of it, no matter what.

Lin Yushi hurriedly urged Du You to return to his own territory, which wasn’t far away, anyway.

Since he had won the battle, this area had essentially become part of Du You’s territory. In the back, Bone Dragons, controlling a multitude of skeletons, walked towards this area, not moving very fast.

After some time to adjust, the Lich King had roughly figured out how to use the Bone Dragons. By using special methods to communicate with the Bone Dragons, the Lich King could easily understand all of their characteristics.

After all, they were Du You’s summoned creatures, and given the strict hierarchy among undead creature levels, they were still very easy to control.

Back in his territory, Du You waved his hand, and a large group of skeletons came over. Among them were many zombies, all crafted by buildings in his own territory. Especially from the Bones Sea, there were ten thousand tier-one skeletons produced every day.

To create a Dragon Tomb Guardian, one only needed to wait five days. So many skeletons were not even fit to be cannon fodder; at most, they could be used as labor. However, since his territory had the undead attribute, he didn’t need so many workers.

There was no need to produce anything here, and even if something was produced, there was nowhere to sell it. Now it was the perfect time to use them up.

Du You couldn’t handle a large number of low-level undead crowding around. As he was not a traditional undead creature, a multitude of low-level undead was of no use to him. He had to find a way to use them up.

Du You stretched out his hands towards the front, and the skill was activated. A massive surge of Death Qi was mobilized, converging on the myriad skeletons. As Du You moved, the Death Qi gradually began to condense. Like when he first created the Bone Dragons, he directly sacrificed these low-level undead, but the results were not exactly the same.

A huge number of low-level undead were directly absorbed into a Magic Array on the ground. They did not form cocoons, but rather were sucked in as if they had melted into the ground. Not long after, a huge figure crawled out of the Magic Array.

"How come it looks different from what we’ve seen before?" Lin Yushi asked.

"It’s good that it’s different—it means the skill has been adjusted. Besides, although we summon this Dragon Tomb Guardian, it is actually constructed from low-level undead and a large amount of Death Qi."

Du You wasn’t surprised by this at all. Once the Dragon Tomb Guardian emerged, it stood in front of him. Its towering four- to five-meter stature was extremely intimidating. The guardian’s grayish-white skin and bulging muscles showcased its extraordinary nature.

The Dragon Tomb Guardian had a human-like body but a dragon’s head, and this aspect had not changed. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

It had huge dragon wings on its back, but it also carried a massive tombstone. The tombstone had some obscure markings on it that were unclear. Paired with those dragon wings, Du You found it amusing that even though the Dragon Tomb Guardian had wings, it couldn’t fly.

It could only use the wings to briefly hover and change direction while jumping in the air. It probably wouldn’t be able to fly properly until it reached tier five—the tombstone was just too heavy.

Its weapon was a massive, bronze trident. Combined with the Dragon Tomb Guardian’s strength, it was incredibly formidable.

After some testing, Du You discovered that the Dragon Tomb Guardian had a significant advantage over the Dragon Clan. In one-on-one combat, a level 40 Bone Dragon might not necessarily be a match for two level 35 Dragon Tomb Guardians.

Du You really didn’t know if these so-called guardians were there to protect the Dragon Tomb or to counter the Bone Dragons.

Of course, the Bone Dragon had its own advantages: it could fly. As long as it stayed airborne, fighting a guerilla battle, then the Dragon Tomb Guardian was still no match for it. However, within the range of the ground, the Dragon Tomb Guardian was just too powerful.

"It has some intelligence, decent combat power, and it’s very obedient. Plus, it doesn’t have a maintenance time. We should make more."

Lin Yucha also said, "We should indeed make more. Among the undead, it is rare to be strong at the same level. Dragon Tomb Guardians that stand out among their peers are hard to come by."

This time, they really had stumbled upon a treasure. The Dragon Tomb Guardian was definitely a high-quality and powerful type of undead. It was a pity that it couldn’t be summoned using a building, so Du You had to make sacrifices himself.

Du You quickly sacrificed, using the accumulated undead from the past period and the unusable corpses for sacrifices. In one go, Du You obtained more than a dozen Dragon Tomb Guardians.

Although this number was still far from matching his quantity of Bone Dragons, the speed of accumulation was incredibly fast.

The Undead Mage truly excelled in warfare, gathering military forces at a pace unmatched by other professions. Du You believed that after a few more battles, his Dragon Tomb Guardians would truly form a large army.

Next, he would focus on building up his territory and leveling up. He presumed that once he reached tier six, the speed of accumulating these branches of the armed forces would increase even more rapidly. Opening the panel to check, after the recent battle, Du You had already governed a large surrounding area, earning recognition from all the Undead Creatures.

Thus, he was already very close to a tier five territory, suddenly reaching that level. Now, he could finally make use of those tier five building blueprints he had.

"Alright, the inspection is over; let’s continue building the territory. Once this construction is done, we’ll notify the entire Corpse Beast Plain and move it up to a tier six level," Du You said, now in high spirits.

Previously, when the territory reached tier four and construction was complete, his task contribution could only reach seven stars. But now that the tier five territory had just taken shape, the task contribution was as high as eight stars, and after construction was complete, reaching nine stars would be more than enough.

However, reaching the ten-star requirement would probably require a tier six territory. No wonder this task, which was even difficult for him, was one of the most challenging types among all advancement tasks.

The two sisters rolled their eyes—they certainly weren’t in as good a mood, mainly because the undead were too unsightly.
