Chapter 253: Skeleton Potential

Skeletons are a good thing, as they are undead, things like poison that can destroy physical skills. It doesn't affect skeletons at all. In addition, the skeletons will not be demoralized when the battle situation is unfavorable. In addition, due to the hollowed-out ribs, it also has a lot of advantages over ordinary creatures in the face of long-range bows and arrows. It can be said that it is a species that combines many advantages. But it is not without its drawbacks, and the low combat effectiveness of skeletons is a recognized problem.

It's just that this little problem is about to be overcome. Subsequent effective formations, tactical killings. The survival rate of skeletons has been greatly improved, and as soon as the survival rate is high, the strength of the ship will naturally gradually increase. What's more, the number of skeletons is extremely high. Every year, there are a lot of skeletons in the Skull Sanctuary, and a steady stream of new ones are born.

With that, the second-level species of poisonous flies was exterminated, and the energy obtained allowed the entire skeleton army to rise several levels. What is the concept of 20,000 green skeletons? That combat power is almost equivalent to 20,000 ordinary three-headed dogs. Of course, if the skeleton and the three-headed dog of the same energy level go head-to-head, they may be slightly inferior. Because the three-headed dog is a well-known guy with sharp attacks, three heads can bite people at the same time, and it is slightly stronger congenitally. It's just that under the command of the leading master of the skeleton bone battle, it is not impossible to destroy 20,000 three-headed dogs with 20,000 green skeletons. It's just that the losses are a bit big.

In the following days, Liu Qian continued to send eagles to explore the way. Find the right species to upgrade the skeletons. Be careful and cautious, and most importantly minimize the loss of the skull group. Some creatures, although not as famous as poison flies among second-level creatures, skeletons are particularly difficult to deal with. For example, the swamp crocodile, a species that is only in the middle of the secondary range. But its inherently strong defense, as well as its great strength, are the nemesis of the skeleton. Like similarly species. It can only be bypassed for the time being. Otherwise, the losses for the skeleton army will be too great.

Sweeping all the way, there are more than a dozen dangerous areas marked on the map. Except for two difficult bones, the rest were wiped out. And the entire skeleton army, after a large number of elimination of the inferior and the superior. The remaining 30,000 skeletons have all been upgraded to green. Not only that, but there are nearly 100 of them that break through the green color and become a faint blue. These blue skeletons are basically present in those skeleton mages and skeleton archers. Because in each battle, they kill the most enemies. The battle is also the most ferocious. Moreover, because of the tight protection, the damage is minimal.

And that's exactly what happened. Now this army of skeletons looks barely interesting. Its overall combat effectiveness has increased by at least ten times compared with when it was a fledgling. It's just that from the last two battles, the benefits have been limited. Most of the skeletons are stuck in dark green. Couldn't go any further. This is because the energy absorption has almost reached the limit of a skeleton.

Skeletons are different from ordinary underworld creatures, which have overall limitations. For example, the two-headed giant. An adult two-headed giant has an ability close to a dark purple ground, but the limit of a two-headed giant lies in the dark gold. In other words, as long as there are no accidents, the strongest two-headed giant can only reach deep gold. Of course, if a two-headed giant can break through the dark gold and reach the realm of red energy. Then all the descendants of that two-headed giant will increase the overall strength by one level. That is, only when you are an adult, you can reach the strength of light gold.

The benefits of this evolution are not mentionable, but the cost is also significant. You know, if you want to improve the overall strength of the group, this is what every individual of any species wants to do. But evolution is by no means so simple. There may not be one in thousands of years, or even thousands of years. According to the Djinn, the last time the two-headed giant evolved from medium purple to deep purple was more than 8,000 years ago. After so many years, there is no two-headed giant who can lead the evolution of his clan.

Skeletons are different, and the essence of life of skeletons is that they belong to humans. It's just that it was collected by some unknown method before the human being dies and transformed into a skeleton. So, skeletons and the underworld have evolved differently. But it's not completely different, because after the transformation, the energy storage and use method of the skeleton is also the mode of use of the creatures in the underworld.

This is a unique way of storing energy in the underworld, while maintaining the pattern of human evolution. It makes the ability of the skeleton thing to increase extremely strange. That is, it can absorb the energy of the underworld creatures just like the creatures of the underworld. But it's not like an underworld creature, and it can improve the overall strength of the race after breaking through a certain boundary. And each skeleton is more like an individual, each going its own way. The maximum amount of energy stored is almost the same as the strength you had before you were born. Once you reach that limit, it's extremely difficult to break through again.

In this way, Liu Qian let the bone method record. In the last two battles, the skeletons that absorbed energy with minimal growth were selected. At this time, more than 20,000 green skeletons and more than a dozen light blue skeletons were selected. These skeletons, which had reached the limit, were stuffed back into the Skeleton Walled City to act as a defensive force.

And then from the Skeleton Holy Land, an army of more than 30,000 skeletons was pulled. It was reorganized into an army of 50,000 skeletons. The good news is that many of the Skeleton Archers and Skeleton Mages have reached light blue, but they still don't seem to have reached their limits.

This made Liu Qian feel a little strange. Later, after discussing it with Lao Sue, I came to a similar conclusion. That is, the reason why these archers and skeleton mages were able to maintain their profession after death. I'm afraid it's because of the strong willpower. The stronger the person, the stronger the willpower, and this is already a recognized result. And at the moment of death, everything becomes nothing, even if there is a powerful mechanism to keep its vitality alive. But that's just that the vitality does not dissipate, and its memory and consciousness are estimated to have dissipated at the moment of death, and then with the disappearance of time, the memory and consciousness will be almost completely erased.

This also proves why these skeletons are ignorant and completely devoid of the aura that a human should have. That's because their memory and consciousness have completely dissipated. What is left behind is just an empty life.

However, there are some powerful human beings who also have very strong willpower. While the other skeletons had lost consciousness, they were still able to retain a small portion of their consciousness. And these consciousnesses promote them to fight according to the way they fought in life. In this way, it is not surprising that those archers and skeleton mages can have deep potential. Because the guy who can preserve a little bit of his consciousness in such an environment is not a tough person in his lifetime. And those weaker mages, or archers, can't remember the battle consciousness before their deaths because they don't have enough sense of preservation, or for some other reason. In this way, you can only become a member of the poor army of ordinary skeletons and fight with bone knives.

Bone Law Bone War and Bone Thief are three of the outstanding generations (color list. And looking at the special combat means they have, I am afraid that they will definitely not be unknown in their lifetime.

With this in mind, it's time to replenish the skeletons. Liu Qian asked the bone method to select skeletons, basically selecting those guys with special combat methods. Because those guys are all babies. After searching almost every corner of the Skull Sanctuary, in the vast sea of skeletons, all the mages and archers that could be found were found. And, of course, the sword and shield hands. Because of the skeletons that are left behind, there is still room for growth, and the sword and shield hands also account for a large proportion.

Of course, it can't be said that the skeletons of ordinary bone knives are all useless things. Not really, there will be many powerful human beings in their lifetimes. At the time of death, for various reasons, he did not retain his consciousness and became an ordinary member. And, I'm afraid, there are still a few of them. However, with the passage of time. After all, these guys will be like gold in the sand, gradually being exchanged for it.

As a result, 35,000 skeletons were added later. Although almost all of them are white, even newborn skeletons. But basically, it's all carefully selected guys. They're more or less different from normal skeletons. Or a little bit taller, or a little more sensitive, or whatever. In short, Liu Qian has great hopes for today's army of 50,000 skeletons.

Every day, there are harpies who keep flying back and out. The area explored is also becoming more and more extensive. And the area swept by Liu Qian's skeleton army is also becoming more and more vast. In fact, it turns out that most of Liu Qian's and Lao Su's inferences are correct. This army of 50,000 is much better than the previous one, I don't know how much. Most of the skeletons show their deep potential. And their ability to survive on the battlefield is far beyond that of ordinary skeletons. After all, they have a residual part of the instinct. It's a little instinctive, but it's enough for them to excel on the battlefield.

An army of 50,000 skeletons, after more than half a year of sweeping and destroying dozens of monster strongholds. Only 10,000 skeletons were lost and eliminated. The remaining 40,000 still have more or less growth potential. And among them, the worst nowadays, also has the strength of light blue. Liu Qian believes that this skeleton army is under the leadership of Bone Zhan and other guys. Even if you encounter the most powerful golden race, you have the ability to fight.
