……

Matthew recognizes this nameplate!

This thing was once popular in White Rock City, and it was used by necromancers as a marker for classifying, marking, and arranging the undead.

This reduces the Necromancer's mental energy loss when arraying.

In addition to the spell logo, some nameplates will also have some secret words, which can only be deciphered by necromancers who have mastered the unique way of reading in White Rock City.

This can also be regarded as an easter egg or trap left by a lonely necromancer when he is wandering outside.

Matthew took off the nameplate and tried to decipher it, and soon, a line of shining fonts appeared in front of his eyes-

……

"If I hadn't become a necromancer, wouldn't things have been different?"

……

Matthew frowned, a sentence without a beginning or an end, but only vaguely revealed the regret after becoming a necromancer.

But at the same time, he was also a little curious about the owner of the nameplate.

"He may also be from White Rock City, but necromancers don't usually like hot and humid weather, which makes it even more difficult for the undead to keep clean. What is he here for? ”

Matthew's gaze fell into the depths of the swamp.

At this time, Lao Jitou, who had been walking around the side of the forest giant snake several times, also walked over:

"This snake came from the depths of the Bitterwater Swamp, and it should have swallowed more than one zombie along the way, otherwise it wouldn't have been so slow."

"That's not good news."

Hearing this, Luo Lan, who quietly returned to the team at some point, interjected: "Why? Isn't this a good thing, even if it can show off its might in the depths of the swamp, doesn't it mean that the swamp is already safe? ”

Lao Jitou glanced at him:

"It could also be a fluke, and the traces of its passage are very obvious, maybe something terrifying will be lured out by it."

Lorraine's eyes widened.

Before he could continue to speak, Lao Jitou suddenly asked, "Where did you just go?" Didn't you say you were going to fight alongside Matthew? ”

Luo Lan looked at him innocently: "Please, I also have a contribution!" You don't really want me to fight monsters, it's unseemly. And I saw that you were an old man being chased by such a big snake, which was very dangerous, so I wanted to go to your aid, but I didn't catch up with you when you ran too fast. ”

Lao Jitou smiled and didn't say anything more.

Matthew's gaze was farther away, where seven or eight zombies staggered along the path of the forest python, one of which accidentally stepped into the air, and its lower body sank deep into the mud puddle of the swamp, and it struggled violently, and soon sank deeper and deeper.

Matthew saw that they all had nameplates around their necks, so he wanted to make a move.

But this time, Lao Jitou's movements were faster.

Still the same short knife used to cut trees, he rushed forward, and with a sharp hand, he slashed at the zombie's neck.

Puff puff!

Lao Jitou walked steadily and skillfully with his knife skills, almost one by one, and cut down those zombies to the ground.

Although the combat power of the undead after losing their master will be greatly reduced, Lao Jitou's smooth handling can give Matthew a glance.

He had never had the opportunity to see this guide shoot head-on before, so he was always unsure of Lao Jitou's strength, and after this round, Matthew preliminarily determined that he was at least a third-order ranger or ranger, and should have mastered some skills in the indigenous class.

This is rare.

You know, this rainforest doesn't welcome northern druids, rangers and other professions.

Lao Jitou can integrate into it like a fish in water, and he must have his advantages.

After killing the zombies, he didn't keep the nameplates for himself, but handed them all to Matthew:

"If you're useful, take it all, but remember, it's best not to show your identity as a necromancer to the Jango people deep in the rainforest, they may not do anything to you, but they will hold a grudge. Peripherals like the Yuka tribe are better, because they didn't participate in the war against the necromancers. ”

Matthew nodded and thanked Lao Jitou, then took out a rag to wipe the nameplates clean and read them one by one.

……

"If you want me to say, zombies are much cuter than humans, they just want to bite you in a small bite, and a small bite will be satisfied;

And humans, if humans bite you, then that bite is the beginning."

……

"Those natives are so annoying, didn't they just take a litter of their baby feathered snakes?

Those who beat gongs and drums every day are annoyed!

I'll have to give them a little warning, but don't ruin the necromancer's reputation too much, well, just make a stitch monster out of the corpses of their fellow citizens!

No, two!"

……

"A startling discovery - if you break off a contract with an undead, it will take you 72 hours before you can re-sign a contract with him!

This is truly a discovery that has never been seen before!

What is the significance of these 72 hours, and is there a cooling-off period for breakups?

Hehe, but I was a genius and I discovered the latest use of this rule!

Most of the undead who can be contracted by us are spiritual, and they will ask for soul crystals, which we usually pay monthly.

Based on this, we only need to dissolve the relationship when we pay our monthly salary, then lock it up for 72 hours to prevent it from getting lost or abducted, and then re-sign the contract - I've observed that most undead people forget about their previous unpaid wages after re-signing the contract.

The undead who don't want wages are so cute!

According to this method, you can promise an unlimited number of soul crystals, and they are all painted cakes anyway, so why not draw a bigger one?

What a genius I'm a genius! Praise me, praise me!

Eh, even if you praise me, I won't hear it."

……

"I'm an idiot."

……

"Ferog doesn't want to deal with me at all.

I'm such an idiot."

……

"I'm leaving, the legend of the Quetzalcoatl God is really fake, I'm so stupid, after the Tianlun Palace ascends, how can there be a true god in the world? If I want to squeeze a little divinity out of them, I might as well go to the outer plane and find demons!

Maybe I can try to become a god myself, but if I become a god now, will I also be exiled by the laws left by the Scourge Mage?

Hey, if only I were a related account of the Scourge Mage."

……

"I've left something interesting in the swamp that you can pick up if you have a companion, but I don't promise you won't die.

- Eternal Necromantic Maiden, Tanya."

……

After reading it, Matthew's expression was playful.

It seems that the suspected legendary necromancer in the depths of the swamp is a woman, and some of the previous clues once reminded Matthew of Ursul, but Ursul is already dead.

This Tanya is supposed to be another powerful necromancer.

The tone of the secret words she left on the nameplate was cheerful, and it didn't seem to match the dull image of the necromancer, but Matthew knew that this was the norm.

It is precisely because of the usual sullenness that I will let myself fly in this kind of drifting bottle similar to that left for my peers.

He was a little interested in what Tanya had left behind, but for now he had to deal with the angry Rainforest Soul first.

Matthew puts away the nameplate, then finds the body of the black-backed gnoll and begins to summon zombies.

There was no point in leaving, and wherever they went, they would be attacked by the strongest beasts recruited by the Spirit of the Rainforest.

In this case, if you play a defensive counterattack, Matthew will definitely choose the stronger zombies instead of skeletons.

The moonlight is sprinkled and the chanting is not stopped.

In the strange gaze of Lao Jitou and Luo Lan, a head of "Silver Moon, Black Back, Gnoll, Zombie" stood up.

Their Tree Skin Technique and Sacred Moon Armor were so dazzling.

However, neither Lao Jitou nor Luo Lan asked.

They just silently accompanied Matthew, waiting for the next wave of beasts to attack.

The night passed quickly.

The expected full-scale encirclement and suppression did not come, and Matthew only encountered a few sporadic attacks, all of which did not require him to make a move, and Ah Bing could defuse it alone.

Morning.

The rainforest is gradually becoming cloudy.

The dull sound of thunder came from the sky, as if thousands of people were beating drums in the clouds.

The atmosphere on the ground became more and more oppressive.

Matthew knew that it was the Spirit of the Rainforest who was putting pressure on him by controlling the environment.

The real offensive is yet to come.

It wants to make itself bow down through all kinds of demonstrations.

It's a pity that Matthew has already figured out the temper of the rainforest by this time.

It is impossible to bow your head.

For today's plan, the only way to do this is to be reckless to the end, and the soul of the rainforest is called Dad!

It was afternoon.

More and more beasts of prey are gathering around the highlands.

Most of the beasts are still watching.

But there are also a few who can't bear it and have a conflict with Matthew.

A few rounds of fierce fighting down.

The beasts suffered heavy losses, but Matthew became more and more brave - when he first came to the rainforest, he was already short of materials, and with the support of his good brothers, the undead under his hands were naturally endless!

He is now very skilled at summoning zombies and skeletons, and his mana consumption has been reduced to a very low level.

And so.

For a whole afternoon, the chanting on the high ground did not cease much.

At dusk.

Looking at the dense figures of the undead on the edge of the heights.

The beasts around them all stopped.

……

"Hint: You summoned a Silver Moon Zombie Tiger using necromantic summoning!

Current Zombie Count: 56 / Skeleton Count: 22"

……

This number Matthew is actually not very satisfied, his mana and negative energy are still left, and more can be summoned.

But the beasts that live in the rainforest all year round are not stupid.

After seeing the pioneers reduced to puppets of necromancers, these tigers, leopards and crocodiles said that they did not dare to approach anything.

However, instead of going far, they lurked nearby, as if waiting for their time.

Matthew was also very calm.

He would take every break between the beasts' attacks to get some rest.

Let's say now.

Cracking sound!

Black smoke was rising from the campfire in the middle of the highlands.

The rainforest climate is humid, and this is the scene of wet wood burning.

Originally, Lao Jitou did not allow them to make a fire in the forest, saying that doing so would attract real beasts, but now it obviously doesn't matter.

And looking at the dense undead around them, the two also had a clear understanding of Matthew's strength.

"So, if you want to deal with a necromancer like you, you're going to have to be killed all at once? If you blindly send people to encircle and suppress, but are you providing assistance? ”

By the fire, Lorain was holding his pamphlet, glancing at it, chatting with Matthew at other times.

Matthew nodded:

"As long as the threshold is not exceeded, then the last thing a necromancer is afraid of is the crowd tactic, and the more powerful the necromancer, the more so."

"I wrote down your words, and I will write them directly into the work in the future, well, Matthew the Brave said - necromancers are fearless!"

Lorraine replied casually.

Matthew looked at his archenemy's still lazy appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart.

The day is down.

Matthew had also seen Loren fight with beasts.

To Matthew's surprise, the poet not only played the flute well.

His hand-to-hand combat skills are also quite good.

In the afternoon, Matthew saw him knock down a tiger with his bare hands!

The poet shows a sense of ease when attacked by fierce beasts, even in the face of siege, he can quickly find a breakthrough and keep himself at a distance.

The only thing that puzzled Matthew was.

Loren never used a melee weapon in the first place—he didn't use anything other than the pale green flute, to be exact!

This also caused him to not kill even a single beast with his own hands.

At best, it's only a heavy hit.

"It's not some bard soul at work, is it?"

Matthew complained in his heart.

In addition, he noticed that Loren was very fond of reading the booklet, and that he was attentive every time he read it.

But according to Matthew's observation, the booklet is very thin, it looks like it is only a dozen pages, and Loren has been reading it all the time these days, even if he reads it slowly, he should finish it, right?

But he didn't.

He's still watching.

Matthew became more and more curious.

So he took advantage of the fact that the beasts had stopped and asked:

"Loraine, I have two questions for you, eh, if it's a matter of privacy and you don't want to answer, just don't ask."

Loren was instantly interested:

"Oh? Matthew, after pretending to be cold for so many days, are you finally willing to admit that you are interested in me? ”

Matthew hadn't said anything yet.

There was a cough from Lao Jitou next to him.

The two looked over, and Lao Ji picked up the dry tobacco, got up and said:

"I'll go to the side, you guys talk."

Having said that, he didn't go far, and he turned sideways to the two of them, his ears slightly pricked up.

Matthew smiled:

"I'm curious, you had several chances to kill the beast in the afternoon, but you didn't, why is that?"

"And that booklet in your hand, what is it about it that appeals so much to you?"

Loren thought for a moment:

"These are indeed my two secrets, but it's not impossible for Matthew to tell you if he opens his mouth."

"But the secrets of friends should be exchanged with each other, and I will ask you two questions in a moment, and you must answer them truthfully."

Don't wait for Matthew to agree.

Luo Lan said a little embarrassedly:

"The reason why I don't kill is not because I am compassionate, but because I have a slight fainting blood.

It's not that serious, but it also affects my focus and thinking.

Before, in Zeshui City, when I saw the head of the plague messenger, my whole person was blindfolded.

Truth be told, seeing blood only makes my focus drop slightly.

But if I had killed the beast with my own hands and seen the blood splattered, I might have fainted!

As for this booklet.

It's actually a priceless magic item that helps me stay focused. ”

As he spoke, he graciously handed over the booklet.

Matthew opened it and found that every page inside was a beautiful portrait!

The portraits are of women with upper body naked.

These women are either laughing or angry, with different expressions, and their looks may not be very good-looking, but they have one thing in common-

They all have quite full breasts.

"You think this thing can stay focused?"

Matthew couldn't believe it.

However, the next second.

……

"Hint: You read Loraine's Book of Plumpness, and your Focus +1 (your cast success rate is greatly increased)"

……

Matthew fell silent for a moment.

"This magic item is quite special."

He handed the pamphlet over.

Luo Lan smiled gently, and then asked with great interest:

"Now, it's my turn, first question, what's going on with that owl in your chest?"

Matthew replied briskly:

"Her name is Ella, she is not in good health at the moment, and she is recuperating with me."

Who knew that Luo Lan's eyes lit up:

"She?"

Matthew looked at him inexplicably.

"You're close?"

Loraine's eyes became full of appreciation.

Matthew thought for a moment:

"Sort of."

Lorain slapped his thigh and praised:

"I guessed you were a fellow traveler!"

"Owls can be used, yes, Matthew, worthy of being a necromancer, it's too much fun!"

Matthew's face darkened.

He just wanted to explain something.

But at this time, the sky suddenly darkened completely.

A piercing hiss rang out from the distant sky.

A black shadow scurried across the sky.

Suddenly the wind raged on the high ground!

Meanwhile.

Heavy footsteps can be heard from deep within the rainforest, and the roar of a large number of trees falling!

And to the west, there is the sound of the river washing.

Ella popped out a small head and exclaimed:

"Matthew Matthew! I sensed something terrible crawling ashore from the river over there! ”

……

"Warning: The Soul of the Rainforest is about to launch a final siege against you!

You're about to encounter "Primordial Relic: Aeolus Pterodactyl (LV15)"!

You're about to encounter "Mutant Lord: Spotted Crocodile (LV15)"!

You're about to encounter the "Primordial Relic/Mutant Lord: Tyrannosaurus of Steel Tooth (LV16)!"
