Chapter 64: Chapter 63: Skeleton Mortician (Asking for follow-up and data!)”_1

Translator: 549690339

Mu Yuan was unclear about the major changes in the Lanxing World, as they were too remote for him.

After all, he was just a greenhand, and it was hard enough to protect himself.

However…

“Ding Ding Ding-”

The cell phone alert sounded, displaying ‘Baijiang Association Official Group’. The whole group chat had hundreds of new and old players. Occasionally, the officials would post important information in the group.

Such as the bounty for wanted criminals, the besieging of fleeing monsters, the application for the annual excellent player selection, etc.

The information released today was extraordinarily important and marked in glaring red.

“The Longhu Mountain to the west of Baijiang City is currently merging with a certain area of Eternal World. The Association has already listed Longhu Mountain as a danger zone. Please do not approach it and inform all players. Also, due to the formation of the Area of Two Realms, the number of fleeing monsters will significantly increase in the future. Players who kill fleeing monsters and keep a record can exchange for rewards at the Association.”

“The peaceful environment is hard to come by, and we hope that every player will work together to protect and maintain it.”

After that, there was a recruitment announcement from the association, but that had nothing to do with the new players.

The association had only given one warning to new players – never, ever approach the boundary zone.

Mu Yuan then entered a small group called ‘Baijiang Tenglong Group’.

This was a small group for new players, with only 16 members. It seemed to be set up by the rich second generation, but Mu Yuan didn’t mind.

He just quietly observed the screen.

“We really can’t go to the boundary zone. Not only will monsters come out, but it will also attract all sorts of strange creatures. Even foreign cults might sneak into Xuan Country through the boundary zone… It’s very troublesome, I’m ready to move to the state capital.”

“Indeed, we are lords after all, each with a bright future; there’s really no need to take risks.”

“Is it possible that in the eyes of slightly older players, we’re still noobs?”

“But it seems there are treasures in the boundary zone…”

Of course, Mu Yuan didn’t have any ideas about the boundary zone, but from the few words of the association’s announcement, he could vaguely sense that the situation was gradually becoming severe.

Was it just because the boundary zone appeared within the territory of Baijiang City?

It didn’t seem to be.

In the past, there had been boundary zones within the territory of Xuan Country, and many old players had ventured into the boundary zones for exploration.

However, this time was different. Does it have any connection with the Lord’s Trial that suddenly advanced?

For their new generation, the association expressed concern and supported these new lords with some resources, urging them to prepare for any possible accidents.

In the new player group, most people expressed worries, but some were eager to try.

“I heard that this trial is for all new lords nationwide, isn’t this stage for me to make a name for myself? I must stand on the leaderboard!”

A Whale said so and attached a screenshot of his territory.

Twenty to thirty arrow towers were standing around his village, like a wall protecting the entire territory.

This was a true Whale, a top-tier Whale!

Having so many defensive buildings, the Whale declared his fearlessness of any accidents.

Some hailed this.

Some envied this.

Mu Yuan didn’t envy… at most a little bit.

He switched back to the game.

Inside the game, night had fallen. However, when looking up at the sky, some red fog could still be seen drifting. When he switched to the God’s Eye mode, he could also see a faint red that couldn’t be wiped away at the edge of the screen.

Unbearably glaring.

“The Lord Trial has been brought forward, probably only eight days left. I must enable Dead Bone to break through to the Professional level within this period. If possible, I also want Bone Two and Bone Three to cross into the Professional level.”

“Originally, according to my plan, Bone Two and Bone Three and other elite-level beings in the territory could break through before the trial arrives if they were upgraded step by step. Now that the trial has suddenly advanced several days earlier, the plan is entirely disrupted. Breaking through isn’t difficult for Dead Bone, but it’s almost impossible for Bone Two and Bone Three.”

He frowned, unless a large amount of Krypton Gold is used to purchase auxiliary cultivation treasures.

But doing so would be too cost-ineffective, he didn’t have so many Soul Crystals to spend, so he could only take one step at a time, and slightly enhance the territory’s power from other aspects.

Under the high-hung night sky, in a simple training field at the edge of the territory, Dead Bone was shrouded in wisps of black fog.

This black fog slowly intertwined and entangled, finally attaching to the Sword of the Dead.

He hadn’t found a faster way to level up without side effects yet, so he had to enhance his combat power in other ways as much as possible.

“My Lord?”

Mu Yuan slowly lifted his hand, in which the light of Miracle was blooming, could it be…

At this moment, even such a steady Macho Man like Dead Bone couldn’t help feeling surging emotions. It received the Lord’s favor once again and was blessed with the power of Miracle.

It swore to defend the territory and the glory of steadiness to the death.

The light of Miracle shone and slowly faded after two or three seconds. The new-model Dead Bone that appeared before him was about as tall as before, and its armor changed from silver-grey to bright silver.

Mu Yuan was a little surprised that the evolved troop’s armor had actually shrunk and had not covered the whole body. Its shoulders, knees, back, palms, etc., were exposed, and the silver-white bones were clearly visible.

Well, it seems a bit unique?

“Ding!”‘

“Prompt: Your troop ‘Skeleton General-Dead Bone’ has bathed in the light of Miracle and has evolved into ‘Skeleton Mortician (Excellence*)’, and has learned the new skill ‘Sorrow of Skeleton’.”

“Sorrow of Skeleton: Possesses the power to create, manipulate, and change its own bones.”

A simple description, but an extreme power.

Without a doubt, ‘Sorrow of Skeleton’ is an advanced skill. Like Duo Lai’s Condensing Liquid Shaping, it has multiple development potentials.

Ideas have vaguely formed in Mu Yuan’s mind.

He had also almost digested and absorbed the techniques of Thunderbolt Warrior he had learned earlier, among which ‘high-level techniques’ that only elite-level beings would delve into were included.

He couldn’t use it now, but he could describe it, right?

The opportunity to teach the Emperor Dead Bone is not common.

Hehehe…

Mu Yuan prepared to step forward, but saw that Dead Bone was still standing in place with its sword, appearing to be lost in contemplation.

So he halted, retreated tens of meters, and called over a team of Skeleton Soldiers to cordon off the exterior of the training field, so no wild monsters would disturb.

Not long after he completed these actions, the ground suddenly began to hum and vibrate.

An earthquake?

No, it’s not an earthquake. The whole ground suddenly became loose, like mud and sand, causing ripples.

In this constantly rippling earth, one after another stark white bones suddenly protruded. They were like tree branches sticking out all over the training field in front of him, encircling Dead Bone who was standing with its sword, like a forest of white bones.

“Prompt: Your troop ‘Skeleton Mortician-Dead Bone’ has comprehended the special field-type skill ‘Withered Bone Land’, for details, please check yourself.”

Mu Yuan: “What?”
