NOVEL NEXT Chapter 19
Chapter 19: Siege IV
As the leader of the wolf pack, the physical quality of the wolf king is stronger than that of the average wolf. The upgrade of the rank makes the wolf king different from ordinary wolves, able to cast spells and have the leadership skills to command the wolf pack.
In addition to these, higher ranks also brought wisdom to the wolf king different from other beasts.
In the face of a powerful enemy, the wolf king with the best physical fitness should be at the forefront of the wolves. After turning on his wisdom, it is hard to say how much courage remains. Instead, he has a deep fear of death.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this characteristic that the Wolf King is so sensitive to the perception of danger. When the prey is found, the wolf king can rush to the front, but when it comes to the real battle, the wolf king chooses to direct his wolves to charge and release his magic in the rear.
He doesn’t want to get hurt, he doesn’t want to charge into battle, and he just wants to fight with magic through leadership skills. The method of the wolf king made Rohde sigh, this is human nature!
Because of this, the wolves ultimately failed. If the Wolf King relied on his physical fitness to lead his men to the forefront of the passage, coupled with his magic, Rodriguez would not be able to defeat the pack of wolves so easily.
At this time, the Wolf King, who was avoiding the attack of the walking corpse, seemed to Rod, even though he was still huge, he was nothing more than a dog of the family.
The wolf king was thinking about running away, he didn’t pay attention to the attack of the walking corpses at all, just rushed into the gap between the walking corpses. But because the walking corpses had all been surrounded, the Wolf King couldn’t get past the numerous walking corpses for a while.
Rod saw an opportunity, used the spiritual mark to control a walking corpse, and grabbed one of the legs of the wolf king. The wolf king couldn’t dodge, and a leg behind his body was caught upright.
The wolf king turned his head directly, bit down the rotting arm of the walking corpse, and then twisted his body abruptly, tearing off a large piece of flesh and blood.
Only half of the skin of the walking corpse’s arm is still connected, and the exposed bones can even be seen from the side.
Even so, the walking corpse still did not let go, instead, taking advantage of this opportunity, the other hand also caught the wolf’s leg. The characteristics of undead creatures have been brought to the extreme.
The walking corpse was able to grab the wolf king’s leg like this, and it was the result of Rod’s control. If Rhodes does not control the walking corpse in any way, the walking corpse will only rely on its instinct to attack the wolf king with its claws, and will not catch the wolf king like this.
In the case of the wolf king blindly dodge, the walking corpse is difficult to cause enough damage to the wolf king, but the catch is different.
This is often the case. Undead creatures rely solely on instinct to fight, and even if they have a tenacious physique, they will not use it. The undead creatures need to be under the control of the necromancer in order to exert their maximum effect.
The wolf king was accidentally caught by the walking corpse, and his biting back did not work. Before the Wolf King could continue to take action, the surrounding walking corpses surrounded him.
Under Rod’s control, the walking corpses grabbed the wolf king one after another, trying to catch the wolf king.
Being caught by one leg, the Wolf King was inconvenient to move. When he could not dodge, he could only be caught by the surrounding walking corpses. In the struggle, the wolf king lost his balance and fell to the ground.
After falling to the ground, the walking corpses held down the body of the wolf king with their hands. Due to the large number of walking corpses, even if the wolf king struggles, he can’t get rid of it. With all the walking corpses working together, the wolf king could only be pressed to the ground.
If the walking corpses were replaced by a group of people, even with the command of Rhodes, they would not be able to cooperate with such a tacit understanding, and they would not be able to overcome the fear caused by the biological instincts, and directly pressed the wolf king to the ground with his hands like this.
Only the Necromancer can use such tactics when manipulating undead creatures.
The Wolf King still wanted to struggle, but some walking corpses pulled on the Wolf King’s legs, and some of the walking corpses held on to the Wolf King. The struggle of the Wolf King was only in vain.
Suddenly, the wolf king felt a little less pressure on his body. The wolf king just wanted to roll hard, but only saw a cold light hit from above, then he felt a pain in his body, and then he couldn’t feel anything…
…………
“You got the racing achievement [Dead Manipulator].”
“[Undead Manipulator]: Control an undead creature and kill an ordinary creature. The basic reward is +1 for the spirit of control.”
“…”
“Brilliant victory! In this battle, you have a total of 210 experience points!”
…………
Luo Luo took the sword, and because the wolf king was dead, he asked the surrounding corpses to withdraw and hold the wolf king’s hand.
Rod looked at the system log. In this battle with the wolves, he gained 210 experience points in total.
Among the 210 experience points, only 60 points come from the wolf king. The experience points provided by ordinary wolves are the same as those provided by walking corpses, which are 15 points.
Rod remembers that when he killed the apprentice Elott, he gained 400 experience points. Killing this pack of wolves, the experience value gained is only half of that of killing Elott.
This made Rhode sigh, because he could gain more experience points from killing heroes. Compared with creatures of the same level, the experience value provided by a hero is about 5 times. The stronger the hero, the more experience value it provides.
This is also to encourage players to challenge powerful heroes.
Among creatures of the same tier, the caster can provide the most experience points, and the two are one. This is why the hero Ellot can provide 400 experience points.
“Expenditure consumption is 200, and the remaining experience is 145. The professional level is raised to level 2 swordsman level 3…”
“Get free attribute point 1, get skill point 1…”
The character level has been improved. Due to the current lack of mana, Rhode will allocate 1 free attribute point to knowledge.
In the process of checking the system log, Rhode also saw a prompt to obtain an achievement.
Rod looked at his character attributes, and there was an additional one after the original five attributes, called Manipulation Spirit, which was only 1 point at this time.
Manipulation spirit is the exclusive attribute of the Necromancer, which can be obtained through meditation or through a series of Necromancer achievements.
If you rely on meditation alone, unless you meditate deeply, it will be difficult to gain control. Ordinary players rely more on the achievement of Necromancer to improve their control spirit.
Currently, Rhodes controls 10 walking corpses, and the spiritual imprint of each walking corpse occupies a spiritual attribute of 0.15. Even if some of the walking corpse’s legs were bitten off, or were seriously injured, the mental attributes they occupied did not decrease.
After gaining 1 point of control spirit, the 1 point of spirit attribute originally occupied is returned.
…
After killing the wolves, Rod did not stop there. Instead, he manipulated the surrounding walking corpses and asked them to move the corpses of the wolves to the hall where the corpses were previously displayed, and put them together with the walking corpses that did not activate the soul fire.
Rod checked the wolf carcass on the ground. Most of the corpses of wolves have large wounds, which were cut by their own swords, and a few were directly beheaded.
The decapitated wolf corpse cannot be transformed into an undead creature because it lacks the part that produces the soul fire.
Among the wolf corpses on the floor, the wolf king had the least wounds, with only one fatal wound. Rod deliberately did not damage it too much, but made a sword through his heart.
Rod tried it and changed the title to [Necromancer]. After obtaining the spiritism level +1, he used spiritism on a wolf corpse on the ground. The system prompts that it needs 30 mana points before it can be converted into an undead creature immediately. Rhode’s mana is obviously not enough.
Looking at the wolf corpses all over the floor, Lord let them stay here to transform. With the death energy provided by the tombs, Rhodes can save them the mana to modify their bodies.
Now, Lord only needs to wait for the tomb to transform them.
There was a bloody smell in the tomb. The original death energy also seemed to be stimulated, becoming more and more intense. Death energy nourishes the wolf corpses displayed on the ground, and Rod doesn’t know if this is good or bad…
Rod walked out of the tomb. After such a battle, it was still late at night outside.
Due to the smell of blood in the tomb and some other reasons, Rhode did not choose to meditate in the tomb, but returned to the place where he started to meditate and sat cross-legged.
The moonlight is still calm. If it weren’t for the walking corpses that had been swallowed in half, no one would have known that a pack of wolves had been here.
