Instantly, a box popped up in front of Ye Yang: “Please pick one of the following options.
“One, the maximum number of skeletons that can be summoned and controlled at the same time has been increased from 3 to 6.
“Two, white skeletons can be summoned from the corpses of other types of animals.
“Three, to activate the ‘Summon Skeleton’ skill from a corpse, no restriction must be dead for more than 72 hours, and there is no limit to whether the body has decayed.”
“Fourth, the summoned white skeletons are upgraded to gray bone skeletons, with corresponding increases in body hardness and strength.”
“Fifth, summoned skeletons can automatically and slowly recover from injuries.”
“Sixth, summoned skeletons inherit most of their fighting skills and a little wisdom.”
“Seventh, a summoned skeleton can be transformed into a skeleton captain, with the ability to command other skeletons to execute simple commands.”
“Eighth, a summoned skeleton will not consume mental energy for any activity in a dead or dark environment, and can exist forever.”
“Ninth, the mental power consumed when summoning a skeleton is reduced by half. The mental power required to maintain the activity of the skeleton is reduced by half.”
Ye Yang’s heart was already prepared for these nine enhancement directions, which were also difficult to choose.
For example, the second one, if the white bone skeleton was summoned from the corpse of the giant bear from before, was it also a picture of the giant bear skeleton that was more than ten meters tall? On the flip side, is it possible to summon egg-sized newborn chick skeletons and newborn duck skeletons in the body of a chick and duckling? Or simply summon the Fly Skull? That would be awesome.
The fourth item, the fifth item, and the sixth item were all quite useful as well. The seventh item, which seemed insignificant now, but the more skeletons one summoned, the more important this boost would be. The eighth and ninth item, under certain conditions, would also be something that became quite useful.
“The first item, let’s choose the first item for boosting.”
Ye Yang thought that the advantage of the “Summon Skeleton” skill was that it could create a large group of tireless cannon fodder that completely obeyed orders, the more cannon fodder there were, the better. Moreover, he is in the end of the world, the biggest resource here is the abundance of corpses, human corpses are also not lacking. Even if it’s a zombie, after killing it, it will be recognized as a human corpse, and it will be able to summon skeletons, so there’s no fear of lack of 'summoning materials”.
For the time being, choose the first one to improve to maximize your battle ability, and then consider whether to choose other options as needed.
“Raised from 3 to 6, next upgrade, will the number of controls become 9 or 12?” Ye Yang secretly guessed, not sure if it increased by 3 per upgrade or just let the number of summons double with each upgrade.
“Oddly enough… there was no control over the distance increase?”
Ye Yang summoned the skeleton, at first he thought it could only move within 20 meters, then he thought the range of movement was the same as the distance of the “resurrected corpse”, it was up to 50 meters, but after testing, it could still be controlled from 70 meters, but 80 meters away, it was out of control.
This time, there was no option to “increase skeleton’s control distance”, which gave him some guesses.
“Could it be that the furthest control distance of a skeleton is related to the intelligence attribute?”
After the upgrade, Ye Yang felt a bit like when learning a new skill, a small piece of memory was somehow added to his brain, and he sorted himself out a bit to understand the higher level ways of using the skill.
“Summon Skeleton!!!”
Ye Yang pointed with his right hand, a corpse on the street outside the window, vibrated, the flesh of the body that was not completely decayed was cracking, the white bones inside, squeezed out, and then… slowly stood up, the remaining flesh of the body, piece by piece, fell off, leaving a white skeleton with some blood still on it, standing on the street.
Ye Yang’s eyes glazed over, scanned the surrounding area and pointed with his right hand, “Summon the skeleton!!!”
A skeleton was summoned.
Ye Yang did all this under the night.
He went out from the door, and looked for the other corpses and continued with the summoning.
Before long, there were full 9 skeletons gathered around.
However, only 6 of the skeletons were active.
“The maximum number of skeletons that can be summoned has been raised, but up to 6 of them can be controlled at the same time. And, the 7th skeleton and the 8th and 9th skeletons, the spirit power consumed when summoning them have doubled and actually requires 20 points!”
There was one skeleton at first, and 5 more skeletons were summoned, which consumed 50 mental power, and then 3 skeletons were summoned, which consumed 60 more points. Now his mental power is only less than 40 points.
“If the spirit power is enough, it is likely that he can summon 3 more white skeletons, but at most, he can only control 6 of them at the same time, so there is no point.”
After contemplating, Ye Yang waved his hand, causing the excess skeletons to crumble and disperse, then covered himself and 6 skeletons with ghost mist, walked inside another room nearby, and continued to exhale and sleep.
He woke up an hour later with full of energy.
“The upper limit of mental power is not enough. If you upgrade again next time, you can control 12 skeletons at the same time, then the cost will be high. If you upgrade again, you can control 24 skeletons at the same time…” Ye Yang shook his head.
Taking his skeletons with him, he set off along the road.
The map was ready, the target was a certain armed police department.
The skeleton opened the way in front, and Ye Yang was shrouded in black mist, hidden inside the shadows of the building and marched forward.
“Liu Fan, hand over the clues of the Crystal of Time, or else…”|
BANG!!!!
“Damn, did you really think we wouldn’t dare touch you? Fire!!!”
There were constant gunshots, bang bang bang, and from time to time there were flashes of electricity.
Ye Yang pondered for a moment. He felt that he shouldn’t be mixed in at such a time. He should watch it first.
He found a place nearby to hide, looked for something, and lay down on the ground, and he could hear all kinds of gunfire and footsteps.
From time to time, there are people who open their mouths and yell, through those conversations, Ye Yang knew that a treasure hunter named “Liu Fan”, found any important clues, so it attracted other people to the siege. However, Liu Fan had a few teammates who were besieging him, and there were many enemies.
“Such a waste of ammunition, what a luxury.” Ye Yang muttered.
He suddenly heard a loud bang. Not far in front of the house on the third floor of a building, there was a strong fire, which then turned into flames. It was not known whether someone had dropped incendiary bombs or gas canisters exploded. If Ye Yang didn’t have the ghostly fog covering his ears, he would have been badly shaken by that loud noise.
At this time, Ye Yang heard the sound of footsteps faintly coming from the front side corner again.
A young man with a red scarf hanging around his neck, carrying a machine gun and running quickly, suddenly, in the dark night, saw a shadow, standing not far in front of him. In a daze, the figure actually seemed to exude black energy.
“Wow!!”
The young man was shocked.
He had planned to run around a corner to the back of the enemy and reward them with a few 'sweet potatoes” or C4 “chewing gum” to make them drink, but to his surprise, he ran into a stranger here?
Finding that the other man did not wear the same neckerchief around his neck, he confirmed that it was not one of his own.
From seeing the shadow to making a judgment, less than a second before or after, the young man jumped sideways and crashed into the wall next to him, but the machine gun was already bursting out.
Fortunately, some of the bullets penetrated into the black fog and hit the skeleton’s bones, making his body staggered. Several bones were broken, but more bullets passed through the bones and missed.
The skeleton took two steps back a little, then quickly rushed forward, and slashed down at the man.
“What kind of monster is this?!!!” The man couldn’t see the skeleton’s true nature, only the shadow, horrified, inspired ferocity, not using a gun to parry, but instead, pulling the trigger and firing.
The sternum of the skeleton was shot, the figure retreated, but did not know the pain, throwing a hand as one, stuck in the man’s shoulder, the blood shot out.
“Uh…” he opened his eyes wide for a moment.
The skeleton rushed back up, grabbing the knife on the man and pulling it out.
At the same time, the other skeleton also ran around the corner and slashed down.
Under the severe pain, the man kicked the former skeleton into the air, and was chopped on the head by the latter skeleton.
Just as the second skeleton was about to cut the second knife, a loud bang came from the night sky.
Somewhere there was a sniper with a night vision scope staring this way, and a shot came through the ghostly fog, very fortunately breaking the skeleton’s spine, and the skeleton’s body fell apart most of the way abruptly, but the knife in his hand still slashed out, opening a deep gash in the man’s thigh.
The previous skeleton that had been bounced off the ground, without falling apart, ran over, and the third and fourth skeleton followed this way.
“No!!!”
The man screamed, and then… he was cut up in random pieces with a kitchen knife.
There was another bang in the night sky, sniper bullets came from nowhere, but they fell short.
Ye Yang was hiding in the shadows, his face cold.
He is not very clear about what happened at the corner, but one thing is certain. Without his order, the first skeleton would not attack people. In other words, the moment someone saw it, he was directly attacked. What if it’s not a skeleton standing there, but a person?
“In the end times, when human life is like paper, can’t you just fire and kill if you’re not a teammate?”
Ye Yang laughed coldly in his heart, thinking of the young man who was Wang Tao of Zaixing Society, he couldn’t help but feel that he was too kind.
“Maybe, I can be more cruel? I don’t need them to offend me first. Anyway, the ‘treasure hunters’ who are fighting here are not good things. As long as they are not pleasing to the eye, I can design to kill them all!!! Then, the weapons and armours on them are mine, aren’t they?
“I can’t use that much, but I can also arm my skeleton… It can increase my strength, why not?”
Ye Yang felt that he had changed his mind.
