"The male druid who was hostile to me just now, he's not from the Moonshine Society, is he?"

In a tunnel full of stagnant water.

Matthew asked, pulling up his trousers.

"Of course, he's from the Earth Society, I haven't seen him before, and I guess Samantha asked him to come over and help."

Ella rejoiced:

"Luckily Samantha pulled him!"

Matthew smiled:

"That's true."

Ella apparently didn't hear what Matthew meant.

She twittered the story of Eli, the Elder Tiger.

……

"Eli is an orphan. A long time ago, his parents got into trouble with the enemy and were hunted down to the west of the Overden Heights near Stormwind Valley.

Eli's father died halfway through the process of stalling for time.

Eli's mother crawled into the tiger's cave with him in her arms, hiding from the enemy. ”

……

Sadly, his mother was wounded and died when she crawled into the cave, and as she was dying, she saw a fierce but tired tiger.

Eli's mother said to the tiger: 'Eat me enough to satisfy you, please spare my child!' ’

So the tiger silently ate her.

The whole process.

She didn't make a sound—maybe she fainted in pain, maybe she was dead.

In short, Eli, who has childhood memories, witnessed the process.

It's hard to imagine how he felt when he recalled it later! ”

……

After eating Eli's mother, the tiger took Eli to the depths of the cave, where Eli found two tiger cubs with no eyes open.

That's right.

The tigress had just finished giving birth, and she was weak and in dire need of energy.

If it weren't for Eli's mother, she would probably be going out of the cave to forage for food, even if Stormwind Valley was the territory of tigers, which was a very dangerous thing.

Regaining her strength, the tigress began to nurse her cubs.

Eli also has a copy.

As you can guess from the rest of the story, Eli was raised by a tigress and was favored by the god of the earth in the process.

His first transformation in the wilderness was a tiger, and later he mastered the transformation of the saber-toothed tiger and the legendary creature "Elder Tiger" through various adventures!

His combat power was very terrifying, and he couldn't be measured by the normal third-order at all, so people added the 'honorific title' that only fourth-order shapeshifters deserved to have in advance—that is, the Ancient Tiger! ”

……

Matthew nodded after listening:

"It's a rough life."

"Did he go to help his parents get revenge?"

Ella thought for a moment and said uncertainly:

"I don't know, I think there should be."

"Anyway, he's very powerful, and if you meet him underground in the future, it's best to walk around."

Matthew didn't say anything.

His eyes were fixed on the front.

All the skeletons stopped.

"Tick! Tick! Tick! ”

The dripping sound of water in the cave on the left is disturbing.

And in that dead silence.

The air in all directions suddenly stirred slightly!

"Matthew!"

Ella exclaimed:

"They're coming!"

But before she could finish her words.

Matthew's robe instantly bulged and folded.

The next second.

He turned into a raven and flew away!

"Hey, Matthew, you wait for me!"

Ella's voice was hoarse.

She landed on a horizontal stone pillar above her, as Matthew had done.

When looking further down.

But I saw rat-sized "mad larvae" pouring out of the darkness.

They crawl like silkworms, their bodies are stained with purple or green pus, and they are faster than ordinary people!

"Matthew ——!"

Ella couldn't stop screaming:

"The most terrifying thing about the Wild Worm larvae is that they are infected and parasitic, as long as they are given a little wound, they can parasitize on any living thing!"

"We're finished!"

The battle below is getting more and more chaotic.

Each skeleton soldier has a dozen larvae on its side!

Just when Ella was in a hurry.

Matthew finally spoke:

"What are they capable of other than infecting and parasitizing?"

Ella was stunned:

"Isn't that scary enough?"

Matthew looked at her with the eyes of an idiot:

"It's terrible for living creatures, but my summons are all necromancy!"

"Can these bugs parasitize skeletons?"

As if to confirm Matthew's words.

Suddenly, there was a 'poof! '

The two looked down.

A fist-sized larva crawled onto the knee of a skeleton soldier.

Its body quickly dried up.

Meanwhile.

A large amount of pus came out of the larvae's body and covered the bones tightly.

"Tweet ......"

A rat-like sound sounded, and more larvae gathered.

They jumped at the place where the pus flowed.

However, the next second.

A sharp sword fell from the sky.

Sou!

The blade of the sword slashed through the shells of the larvae like tofu, and the pus exploded like juice!

Skeletons require little to no skill.

He just slid his sword back and forth at the place where the larvae gathered, and a large number of larvae died!

It touched its knee when it was done.

After wiping off the pus.

Its bones are as bright as new.

……

"Hint: Your summon is immune to the Wild Worm Larvae!

……

Your summon 'Skeleton No. 3' kills the Wild Worm Larva*13 and your XP +13 (XP Saving...... ）」

……

The next head is lively.

Matthew sat on the sidelines and watched.

Summoning the younger brother to fight, while he is hanging up by eating melon seeds next to him, this is the greatest fun of the necromancer!

What's more, from the moment the first skeleton soldier raised his dagger, the outcome of this encounter was already drawn up-

As Ella says, the most terrifying thing about the larvae is their pervasive ability to infect.

In the face of this infection, high tenacity may not be enough to resist, and higher immunity may be required!

This creature is a nightmare for all living creatures.

But it's not the same with undead creatures.

You can't parasitize a skeleton.

Having lost their greatest threat, the Wild Rats larvae are essentially no different from the larger rats.

No matter how slow the skeleton soldiers are, they can still take out several of them with a single sword in the face of the gathered swarm.

What's even more interesting is that the Wild Worm larvae lack intelligence, they don't seem to be able to judge the situation on the field, and only rely on instinct.

Obviously, the battle situation was already one-sided, and they were still pounced on the skeletons one after another.

So just fifteen minutes later.

There are hundreds of corpses of mad larvae on the ground!

Matthew's skeleton soldier is almost undamaged - 'almost' because one of the skeleton soldiers was so aggressive when chopping bugs that he twisted his ankle into a reverse joint.

It's a skeleton, though.

So Matthew just twisted him back afterwards.

And after this battle.

Matthew found that most of the skeleton soldiers' soul fire had condensed a little!

The undead can also increase their power by fighting and killing, but the progress is less obvious.

Matthew was busy planting trees every day, and the skeleton soldiers naturally sat in the cold palace every day.

Now he finally has the opportunity to show his skills, and the results are quite satisfactory to Matthew.

……

"So this is the calculation of the goddess? The necromantic creatures seem to have a natural restraint on the Rather's Zerg that has caused this place to wither and devastation! ”

Matthew thought so.

He didn't stay here for long, and after a short rest, he ordered Ah Bing to continue to lead the team deeper.

And Matthew himself is flying above with Ella, observing the command.

Smooth sailing along the way.

Except that on the third level, they were confronted with two human-transformed madness infected.

The skeletons wiped out all the enemies without any damage and emptied all the hives along the way!

Although there are no large loot, the occasional drop of dozens of gold coins and the XP that allows skeletons to level up quickly also makes Matthew feel that the trip is worth it.

As for the two mad infected.

One of them was attacked by a soldier when they first met, and the latter cut half of his body with a short knife, instantly making him incapacitated.

The other was to fight with a skeleton soldier, the two sides fought fiercely, and the power of the madness infected was amazing, and by the time Ah Bing and the other skeleton soldiers rushed over, the skeleton had already been dismantled.

This was also the first battle damage Matthew encountered while exploring the cave.

……

"What to do? Matthew, you're missing a skeleton, should we move on? ”

Ella asked nervously.

Their position at the moment was close to the entrance to the fourth floor.

According to Ella.

From the fourth layer onwards, this Berserk infection will become common—not necessarily all human-converted infections, though more of a variety of animals.

Possessing the ability to infect larvae, as well as their strength and hand-to-hand combat skills, the Wild Poisoner is considered to be a tricky thing by other druids.

"Where's a skeleton missing?"

Facing Ella's inquiry.

Matthew chuckled softly, then he took out the Deadwood Staff and whispered to one of the Wild Infected.

Soon.

Under Ella's surprised gaze.

A staggering skeleton soldier stood up from the red and green blood pool.

"So as long as there's a corpse, you're going to summon skeletons, right?"

Ella glared.

"Sort of." Matthew added in his heart: The key is to look at the upper limit of the summon.

"Well, let's just defeat evil with evil......"

Ella muttered.

Matthew looked at her silently.

She hurriedly said:

"Then let's go to the next floor!"

Matthew shook his head:

"No, that's the end of today's mission."

Ella was stunned:

"Why? Did I offend you by that sentence just now? Uh, I'm sorry Matthew, I apologize to you. I can now finally understand the wisdom of the goddess, and necromancers are indeed better suited to destroy bugs than druids! ”

Matthew yawned:

"No, it has nothing to do with those, there are only four hours left until dawn, I have to rush home to sleep now, and I have to get up early tomorrow!"

"Early riser? Why do you wake up early? ”

Ella didn't know why.

"Plant trees!"

Horse repair straight and strong.

"You don't know that's what I do, do you?!"

……

The next evening.

Matthew simply turned the stunned Ella away.

He sat down on the edge of the bed.

Bing's figure slowly appeared in the corner of the room.

Matthew checked the progress of the tree planting task.

He had worked a lot of overtime this past week, planting a total of one hundred and four trees, which naturally corresponded to 10 enhancement opportunities.

He didn't hesitate, and threw it all on Ah Bing!

Ten rays of light flashed in succession, and Ah Bing's level was upgraded by three levels in a row, and he came to LV9!

There are also seven new keywords.

Four of them are blue skies and white clouds.

……

"Your summon A Soldier has gained the Keywords: Shadow Attack (Blue)/Quenching Poison (Blue)/Farming Skills (White)/Cub Feeding (White)"
