Chapter 1063 -642: Flame Totem, Treasure Book Acquired, Power Surges! (Part 2)

The numerous casters quickly nodded in agreement.

Fang Zhou was also given a portion of work by Hecarim, directing Murphite, Karsas, and others to start studying methods to repair other subsidiary facilities with a group of Blood Spirit Mages.

Fang Zhou had no objection to this arrangement.

He indeed wanted to find time to deeply study the construction and required runes of this Flame Totem.

Of course, apart from enriching his knowledge, Fang Zhou wasn’t doing it for nothing.

As a War Mercenary, there’s no shame in getting paid.

Besides asking Hecarim for a large amount of Blood Moon Coins as remuneration for his Tomb Mage Corps’ appearance, Fang Zhou also asked Hecarim for a Soldier Treasure Book of the Skeleton Race.

This is a special container condensed from a Soul Crystal, recording the Bone Armament talent skills developed by the Blood War Furnace up to now.

It can be said to contain the wisdom of countless undead.

There were many usages of Bone Armament that Fang Zhou had never even thought of before.

For Fang Zhou, this was excellent skill material, greatly expanding the boundaries of his thinking.

After consuming as much as a million Soul Power points, Fang Zhou successfully deciphered all the knowledge recorded in the Skeleton Soldier Treasure Book.

The bone armament talent originally with instinct level proficiency in the attribute panel was thus upgraded to talent level proficiency.

The improvement brought by this Skeleton Soldier Treasure Book to Fang Zhou was not just a subtle change in the attribute panel, but also mainly reflected in his individual strength.

Fang Zhou, who originally evolved from a small apprentice-level newly born skeleton into a powerful high-level undead, had his starting point of all strength originate from the Bone Armament Talent of the Skeleton Race.

Therefore, after fully absorbing the wisdom achievements of other undead, Fang Zhou felt that his race’s combat power coefficient and combat skills had achieved considerable enhancement.

Reflected in individual combat capability, it increased by at least twenty percent.

With Fang Zhou’s previous gold middle rank level, facing gold upper-rank Vampire Nobles or Corpse Witches head-on was nothing to fear.

After the increase in strength, he could easily defeat ordinary undead of gold upper rank.

And this was not just an improvement of Fang Zhou as an individual, but also brought an overall increase in strength to the entire graveyard undead.

Whether Corpse Warriors or Blood Spirit Warriors, the Bone Armament of the Skeleton Race was an important component of their strength.

Therefore, their strength also increased by at least twenty percent correspondingly.

A single Soldier Treasure Book of the Skeleton Race could bring great strength growth to an undead army of over a million.

This was an abundant gain any Undead Ruler could hardly imagine and allowed Fang Zhou to quietly make a fortune.

It could be said that this was the most cost-effective transaction Fang Zhou had made since arriving at the Blood War Furnace.

It also made him involuntarily look forward to the Skeleton Warriors, Zombies, and Advanced Zombies Soldier Treasure Book promised by Hecarim.

………

While Fang Zhou was quietly analyzing the Skeleton Soldier Treasure Book, gaining a great boost in strength, the Flame Totem in the pit was finally repaired after about a week of construction.

Every day it could extract a large amount of fire series magic power from the Magma River for processing minerals, smelting equipment, and enhancing undead.

A large number of skeletons were dispatched by Hecarim to reopen the work of mining minerals.

When a large number of minerals were sent into the Flame Totem, after being smelted by this Flame Totem, various metal solutions quickly flowed out from the outlet.

This would be Hecarim’s territory in the future.

It was foreseeable that Hecarim could absolutely rely on this huge ranch and Flame Totem to achieve rapid development in the future.

Of course, capturing this Flame Totem was only the first step, the more troublesome issue was how to defend it under the massive demon counterattack.

…

Another week passed.

Under the Blood Moon, in a large canyon at Funeral Bell Ranch, the strong wind occasionally blew in from both ends of the canyon, raising sheets of yellow sand.

This was the largest resource point at Funeral Bell Ranch and was where Hecarim chose to make the last stand against the remnant demons.

The front line was naturally led personally by Hecarim with the Tusk City Undead Legion.

And on the right side of the battlefield, tens of thousands of War Mercenaries stood in solemn formations on the west side of the canyon, letting the sands hit their armor and shields with a crisp sound.

On the left side of the battlefield, forty elite undead of gold level under Fang Zhou stood in a mighty row.

The eight leaders of the graveyard undead were lined up beside him.

At this moment, a dozen Demon Thunderbirds flew over the top of the canyon.

Seeing these flat feathered beasts circling high and neither flying away nor coming down, the Bone Dragon Uriel spat out some Soul Fire, saying in a low voice, “Lord, these Demon Thunderbirds are definitely the sentinels of those demons.

Let me tear them all down!”

Fang Zhou had actually noticed the oddness of the thunderbirds earlier.

It was because of the existence of these sky patrols that Hecarim abandoned the ambush plan aimed at these canyon demons.

Just as he was preparing to respond to the Bone Dragon Uriel, a cloud of dust suddenly rose from a few miles away on the east side of the canyon.

A faint tremor came from the ground, and the silhouette of the demon army finally appeared on the distant horizon.

These demons came so swiftly, seeming a few hills away at the front, but within minutes, they were already near.

The thunderbirds were indeed the airborne scouts of the Demon Legion.

As more demons joined, a demon army divided into several battle arrays gradually formed and finally stopped not far from Fang Zhou and his troops.

Dense demons spread out as far as the eye could see.

Their hideous forms, bloodstained fangs and claws, bloodthirsty and frenzied eyes, overwhelmingly superior numbers.

All these made a feeling of being unbeatable rise in one’s heart.

However, Fang Zhou was completely unaffected by this situation.

Whether on the Wasteland of Strife or the Wailing Blood Plain, every battle he fought was a victory with fewer forces over more.

Having experienced ultra-large-scale wars involving over a million undead, how could he be frightened by these mere tens of thousands of demons?

The only thing that surprised Fang Zhou a little was that at the very front of the demon army, there was an undead troop composed of over ten thousand Advanced Zombies and Ghosts.

It seemed there was an undead attribute caster among these demons?

Able to cast spells controlling undead under the curse of the Undead Blood Moon Will, the opposing demon caster was at least a strong existence of glory champion level.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhou quietly moved back a little, further from the front line.

In less than a few minutes of the two armies confronting each other, without any verbal conflict, the Death Caster hidden among the Abyssal Demons began to chant a spell.

Tens of thousands of Advanced Zombies and Ghosts broke away from their ranks, a white undead sea advancing in neat steps towards Fang Zhou and his troops.

Hecarim sat motionless on his horse, no one knew what he was thinking.

Just about to enter the enemy’s range, seeing no command issued, many War Mercenaries in the middle of the formation started getting nervous.

Closer and closer!

Hecarim still showed no sign of movement.

The Death Demon Champion sneered sinisterly, moved the Magic Staff again, and the Advanced Zombies raised their weapons.

Thousands of Zombie Archers behind them simultaneously nocked their bows and arrows.

Meanwhile, Hecarim’s eyes suddenly opened wide, his Soul Fire surged, and the Nether Flame on his body rose about a foot high.

Under his command, the Terror Knight attendants unleashed a series of silent roars at the demon army in front of them!

“Death’s Blessing!”

The racial talent of the Terror Knight Clan finally emerged at this moment!

High-level undead rulers can demand the submission and command of lower-ranked individuals using their positional superiority and Soul Fire power.

This was a rule of the Blood War Furnace that Fang Zhou had known for a long time.

And after stacking with the Death’s Blessing talent of the Terror Knight Clan, there was a greater increase in both control quantity and degree.

To other creatures, this series of roars was merely a wave in the soul.

But to the over ten thousand Advanced Zombies at very close range, it contained all the powerful authority released by the upper-ranked ones.
