Chapter 12: The Second Spirit

Just as Han Feng was hurrying in the direction of the medicine jar, a skirmish took place more than two hundred miles away from him.

Marcus, the leader of the knights, led his undead troops into a patrol team.

This is a patrol team of eight skeleton warriors led by a low-level skeleton leader - a patrol team belonging to the enemy forces.

There is no doubt that they are out of luck!

As soon as the two sides met, they had already started fighting directly. Of course, to be more precise, it should be the Death Knight and the Skeleton Mage who took the lead in discovering this patrol team with their stronger soul sensing power, and then took the initiative to meet it, and launched an attack without saying a word......

The big-headed skeleton mage Kuru lived up to his usual showy and ostentatious style, unleashing his undead magic with a single tarsal poison ivy, and then three soul arrows at once......

The Soul Arrow is only a level 1 necromancy, while the tarsal poison ivy is a level 3 necromancy. Although these undead magic below level 4 are still low-level magic, and their power is not very powerful, the almost instantaneous casting speed still fully demonstrates the characteristics of the skeleton mage's extremely fast casting speed.

The result is, of course, unambiguous. Although the three soul arrows did not cause fatal damage to the skeleton leader, they could also cause a small concussion and small trauma to its soul. Any slight damage to the soul was painful, and the skeletal leader couldn't help but let out a terrible wail.

Although the tarsal poison ivy is a third-level undead magic, this magic itself is not known for its power, and its greatest effect is to entangle the target, limit the target's mobility, and paralyze and corrode the target with the stinger attached to Tengman. However, the stinger has almost no effect on these skeletons.

The stingers on the tarsal ivy could not penetrate the skeletal leader's large, unusually hard skeleton, and the toxin's corrosion only caused a shallow circle of burnt yellow marks on the surface of its bones. But the circle that quickly wrapped around his body caused great trouble for the skeleton leader. With the skull leader's powerful strength, he couldn't completely break free for a while.

Just as the skeletal leader was about to free the sharp scythe in his hand first, and then swing the knife to cut off the entangled Teng Man on his body, the two tall skeletal leaders had already rushed out from behind the knight leader Marcus, and swung their huge scythes and flew quickly.

A strange cry from the skeleton mage Kuru was heard in mid-air: "Hey! You two idiots! That's my goal! You guys need to deal with the garbage in the back! ”

The Kuru mage, who was preparing for the next more powerful necromancy, was obviously very angry at this time. The uninteresting act of picking peaches by the two skeleton leaders obviously sabotaged the skeleton mage's plan to fully display his superb magical prowess in front of the undead troops.

But the two skeletal leaders ignored Kuru's shouting. They are the direct subordinates of the knight leader, Lord Marcus, and they are not under the control of this big-headed fellow.

The two high-level skeleton leaders teamed up to bully a low-level skeleton leader who was entangled by Teng Man, and the result was naturally no suspense. The sharp cold light on the two giant scythes was not flashing in vain. The thick, hard bones of the low-level skeleton leader couldn't stop the powerful slashing of the two giant scythes.

The poor skeletal leader, who had been entangled by Tengman, was divided by two huge scythes before he could even raise the scythe in his hand......

As for the eight skeleton warriors left in this patrol team, they were miserable and completely blown to pieces by the annoyed skeleton mage Kuru with magic such as bone spears and wind blades!

Marcus, the leader of the knights, who had been watching quietly from behind, slowly rode over, just glanced at the bone fragments left by the entire patrol team, and said lightly: "Kuru, don't waste your soul energy. Not far ahead is the lair of the high-ranking lich. There will be a time when you will watch xiàn. I guess with the soul imprint on the skull leader, it's time for the high-ranking lich to receive news of our invasion. Get ready for battle. ”

Mage Kuru, who was still muttering about the shameless peach-picking behavior of the two skull leaders, immediately shut up. The two-point mung bean-sized soul fire in the eye cave pulsed rapidly, as if thinking about something. After a while, he spoke:

"Marcus, are you sure you really want to go to war with that high-ranking lich like this? That guy isn't easy to deal with. Of course, with me, a great genius skeleton mage, there's no need to be afraid of it. However, the High Lich is a very cunning man, and it has more troops at its disposal than we do, making it a nuisance to deal with. ”

The dark red soul fire in Marcus's eye cave also jumped slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't plan to destroy it, just drive this high-level lich away from this territory." According to His Highness the Lich King, our main purpose is to search for the place where the fire fell. But this is the territory of the high-ranking lich after all, and if we don't chase it away first, it won't let us move at will. And, if we do make any discoveries, it won't sit idly by at that time. ”

At the mention of the fire, Kuru suddenly became excited again. Flapping the bats behind him, shaking his head, Kuru replied to his quick, hurried tone, "Hey, what kind of fire is that, what the hell is that?" Marcus, old friend, you must know something from His Highness the Lich King, right? …… Hey, old friend, you can't hide it from me. …… Let me guess what that would be? Precious magical materials or powerful magical equipment? Could it be an artifact? Oh! Death is on ......"

Amid a chattering noise, Marcus continued to silently lead the undead army behind him on the journey......

Han Feng, who didn't know anything about his treasure medicine jar being targeted by an undead army, was walking towards the place where the Ten Thousand Medicine Spirit Jar fell.

Beside him, there was another fierce spirit flying back and forth. It was forged by him from the ghost he had just captured. For this reason, five ghosts have died heroically.

Of course, not every ghost can withstand the extremely painful process of soul refining. This kind of soul refining has quite strict requirements for the soul quality and endurance of ghosts. Although these ghosts had been carefully selected by Han Feng, they still failed five times in a row. The first fierce spirit refined by Han Feng was able to succeed at one time, and it really relied on very good luck.

The success of refining the second fierce spirit made Han Feng breathe a sigh of relief, his soul energy had bottomed out, and he had no ability to refine the third fierce spirit for the time being. Although Han Feng has never stopped absorbing and transforming the gray mist energy of the outside world along the way, the continuous use of the spirit absorbing spell has become Han Feng's habit, and his own soul energy has been constantly replenished, but the consumption is still much faster than replenishment.

Han Feng is now fully aware of the preciousness of soul energy. This was different from his previous cultivation in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. At that time, he had a physical body, and his usual activities only consumed the strength of his physical body, and the large amount of spiritual energy he absorbed allowed him to perform various basic Dao techniques at will. Even if the aura is depleted, it is not difficult to replenish it, just one night of meditation is enough to replenish the aura.

Now he only has a skeleton, and without his body and meridians, ordinary exercises are useless at all. And in this damn world, there is no aura at all, there are only some low-level gray mist energy. Although it is not difficult to absorb these gray mist energies, it is very troublesome to condense and convert into soul energy, and the efficiency is quite inefficient.

And in this world, soul energy is the basic energy for the survival and activity of all living beings. For Han Feng, he is now also a skeleton creature in this world, and his every move is supported by the consumption of soul energy. And if you want to cultivate and perform the Dao Method, the consumption of soul energy is even greater.

But the replenishment of soul energy is so difficult. Just like now, although Han Feng maintains the absorption and transformation of gray mist energy all the time, the replenishment of soul energy still can't keep up with the speed of consumption. Whenever the soul energy was about to be exhausted, Han Feng had to stop all his movements, and he had to absorb it for a day and a night before it was possible to replenish the soul energy.

In comparison, the aura in the immortal cultivation realm is more resistant to consumption. Reiki and soul energy are like the difference between coal and firewood as fuel. Of course, this can't be said that the quality of aura is higher than soul energy, after all, these are two completely different main activities, one is the main activity, and the other is completely spiritual consumption, which is not easy to compare.

The rapid consumption of soul energy also completely dispelled Han Feng's idea of trying other methods immediately, such as the alchemy and ghost control that he had thought of before. These two kinds of demonic dao exercises that Han Feng thought were very good, but they could not be successfully cultivated in a short period of time, and the soul energy required to perform these methods would definitely not be less.

Especially now that the soul energy has been consumed hugely, Han Feng must also reserve enough soul energy for the battle to retrieve the medicine jar ahead. Almost without thinking about it, Han Feng also knew very well that with the constant medicinal fragrance of his treasure medicine jar, after so many days, there must be no fewer skeletons attracted to it.

And what worries Han Feng even more is that he doesn't know if he will attract some more advanced "monsters"! In case there are a few "big monsters" that exceed his strength estimate, then he must also prepare enough soul energy for him to escape...... Therefore, no matter how much soul energy there is, it is not too much!
