This lich needs more money

In the night, Raul walked on the road in the wilderness with the alien skeleton.

Amberxiu's castle is far away from the town. There is no starlight tonight, so Raul can only rely on the will-o'-the-wisps in the eyes of the alien skeleton to find his way.

He walked slowly along the way, not only because he couldn't see the road clearly, but also because of Raul's inner hesitation.

He didn't want to help the lich capture living people as experimental material, especially those townspeople who had fled. The lord's sudden increase in taxes has already ruined their family. Raul himself is also a member of the refugees. Naturally, he feels the same way. How can he bear to take action?

But if he doesn't, what happens to his sister Isabel?

Just as he was hesitating, there was the sound of horse hooves and the flickering light of torches coming from the road ahead.

Raul immediately hid on the side of the road. Without getting close, he was sure that this was the army sent by the lord to arrest people.

Sure enough, a knight wearing soft leather armor approached with several followers holding weapons. Raul could see them clearly through the light of the torch. There were ten people in total, and they also had hounds.

Raul lay in the grass beside the road, not daring to breathe. There were ten people on the other side, and one of them was a knight on horseback. Although he was not wearing heavy armor, even if the knight took off his armor, Raul, a civilian, could not deal with him. He could only pray that the hounds did not lock onto his scent.

There are all kinds of smells in this wilderness, and you may not be able to find him.

But contrary to expectations, the hounds seemed to have identified Raul's location, turned a small corner from the road and walked towards his direction, and gradually let out a low whine.

Raul was very familiar with the lord's dog. He knew that the beast had noticed his presence and would soon rush over with the people behind him. At that time, the unarmed Raul would definitely be caught or even killed on the spot. .

Wait, I don't seem to be unarmed.

Raul tightened his grip on the gem-encrusted bone in his hand, and pressed the attack gem when the vicious dog was still about ten meters away from him.

In the darkness, two green glimmers lit up. The vicious dog that had been barking lowly just now seemed to have encountered something terrible, and it suddenly stopped. But before the dog owner could figure out what was in the darkness, the green light thing had already pounced on a hound at an alarming speed.

In the flickering fire, only a monster-shaped creature, like a demon, lay on the hound. The scythes on its arms cut wildly, disemboweling the hound in the blink of an eye.

Just as the dog owner was about to scream, he found the monster rushing toward him at the same speed as his own hound. The dog owner hurriedly stepped aside to avoid it, but the monster was smarter than the dog. After missing the target, he rushed directly towards the others behind him.

There was not enough light in the dark night, and with just a few torches, it was impossible to see the monster's movements. Soon some unlucky people were caught up by the monster. The sickle slashed from the trouser legs to the chest and abdomen. The thin cloth could not stop the sharp blade from piercing. Although this monster was small, it was stronger than a human. It could pierce the ribs with one strike.

Moreover, this monster is also smart and will never be willing to fight. It will jump on someone and stab it a few times before moving away immediately. Once it is caught up, it will climb all the way up from the trousers. The sharp sickle stabbing the human body is like an ice pick hitting the ice, becoming the support point for the monster to climb upward.

Such simple and repeated actions can cause great harm to the human body. Once a person falls to the ground in panic, he will die faster, because the monster will quickly find the throat and seal it with a knife.

The knight on the tall horse wanted to catch up, but found that the sword in his hand could not reach the monster, which was smaller than a hunting dog.

Before he could dismount, three of his followers were already dead. The torch that fell to the ground was quickly extinguished, and the surrounding environment became even darker.

In the darkness, the two green lights seemed to be the gaze of death, causing the knight to lose the courage to dismount and fight, and ran away directly on horseback.

But the killing continued. The knight could run away, but the two-legged man could not outrun the alien skeleton that was as fast as a hound. People will panic in the dark, but skeletons will not. The induction of soul fire is not affected by light at all.

After a series of screams, this seemingly powerful team was completely defeated.

Raul stood up from the grass and looked at the corpses on the ground, his palms trembling.

The alien skeleton, which had lost its target, automatically resumed its following state and slowly walked toward Raul, but it frightened the man so much that he took several steps back and almost fell to the ground.

Looking at the alien skeleton soaked in blood in front of him, Raul trembled all over.

Undead creatures are so powerful, so how terrifying would a lich that can create such a skeletal monster be?

What on earth did he provoke?

Raul felt extremely regretful in his heart. He should not have climbed over the damn railing. His sister Isabel tried to stop him at that time, but he didn't listen at all.

It was too late to regret now. If he wanted his sister to survive, he had to fulfill the lich's order. But when Raul looked at the body on the ground, he had other ideas. Aren't they all using corpses as experimental materials? These lord's lackeys can also be used. There is no need to find other refugees.

But there are only six dead now, and they are still short of the lich's order.

Raul looked down at the alien skeleton that turned dark red, gritted his teeth and said, Isabel, wait for me, I will definitely come back to save you.

In the castle, a girl named Isabel is concentrating on preparing alchemy potions. Amberxiu stared at it for a while and found that she was a genuine alchemy apprentice and did not mess with his materials. Then he relaxed and concentrated on studying the picture he had just received.

The controller in Raul's hand can not only give orders to the alien skeleton, but also has the effect of a memory crystal, which can simultaneously transmit the picture to Amber Xiu.

This was an actual combat exercise, with genuine combat effects, proving that this alien skeleton was more powerful than ordinary skeletons. However, it is a bit of luck to win such a beauty. First of all, the visibility is low at night, and humans without dark vision are naturally at a disadvantage. In addition, the horseman is timid, otherwise the power of the horse's hooves would be enough to crush the alien skeleton after just two laps on horseback. The alien skeleton may not have a chance of jumping on the horse.

But no matter what, a win is a win.

Actual tests have proven that reducing unnecessary bone structures can significantly reduce the consumption of soul energy, and can achieve better results with fewer joints. Although my alien skeleton does not have the ability to evolve like an ordinary skeleton, it is impossible to slowly They grow into powerful individuals such as skeleton knights, but the evolution of undead is a very rare miracle, and the key to my work is that it is cheap.

You have seen the whole process of the experiment. Low-level souls of the same strength saved most of the bone materials, but what was obtained was an individual with much stronger combat power. In today's environment where the price of magic materials is inflated, this kind of alien skeleton should have Very broad market prospects...

Amberxiu re-recorded his introduction, then opened the Code of the Undead, and sent the video data to the chat group behind the code.
