Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Chapter 767 - 495: Naraku Exclusive Unit, Dragon Sect Undead!

Olaf and the Six-armed Snake Demon Warrior rampaged across the battlefield. With their safety absolutely guaranteed, Fang Zhou and Yan Yan unleashed a reckless torrent of spells.

In such a secure environment, a Mage truly became a living turret.

The battle was over in just five minutes.

The ground was covered with corpses: Hate Samurai, Dragon Bone Soldiers, Zombie Earth Dragons, and the Ice Undead summoned by the Skeleton Mage when it first appeared.

All these corpses would become research material for Fang Zhou, and some might even be transformed into his new servants.

And just like that, the Naraku Civilization’s Mage Tomb was razed to the ground!

"Yan Yan, take a close look at these Carved Golems. Can they still be used?" Fang Zhou asked, pointing at the hundreds of golems with broken arms and legs, his hopes rising.

These Carved Golems are all Bronze Tier. If they were all intact, their numbers would exceed the entire military force of a small city of ten thousand people.

"Let me take a look... Hmm, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem," Yan Yan replied after a moment. "They can be repaired. We just need to craft some replacement joints... Some are more severely damaged, so they’ll need entirely new arms and legs."

As an Undead Mage, Fang Zhou commanded a large number of loyal, reliable, and hardworking Undead Summoned Creatures. Especially after acquiring the Artificial Undead and Summon Tomb skills, he possessed a personal Undead Army that required minimal mana to summon and maintain. His combat power had grown by an extraordinary degree.

Therefore, he personally didn’t care much for these obsolete ancient Carved Golems. In terms of quantity, quality, and combat power, his Artificial Undead Army was in no way inferior to these Same-Tier constructs.

However, being the one in charge now, he was keenly aware of every expense.

After his promotion to a Bronze-Tier Professional, Fang Zhou had accumulated a great fortune by developing skills, hunting Fierce Beasts, and completing various tasks. But although he was raking in a fortune, his expenses were also shockingly high. Money flowed out as fast as it came in.

In Fang Zhou’s eyes, these hundreds of ancient Carved Golems weren’t combat power; they were a collection of adorable, glittering Magic Stones. Their repair, transportation, use, and maintenance would require a great deal of effort. Fang Zhou had no time to invest his precious energy into these Carved Golems, which were of little use to him. If they were still in relatively good condition, he was prepared to sell the entire lot to the Sea City Military Academy or the officials of Beast Fighting City for a massive Magic Stone reward.

As this thought crossed his mind, Fang Zhou once again surveyed the messy workshop.

The Skeleton Mage had even left behind several relatively complete production lines for Carved Golems.

Handing these ancient production lines from another civilization directly over to the military would surely earn him a large amount of merit. As for how to decipher the technology and see if it could be applied to the war machine technology of Blue Star’s human civilization, that was not his concern. He still had great faith in the research capabilities of the Longxia Federation’s military.

While Fang Zhou and Yan Yan were inspecting the golem production lines in the workshop, Lin Qingshan and Jing Fei, along with the members of the Flame Medal Adventurer Group, had already begun cleaning the battlefield of their own accord.

The corpses on the ground were gathered and piled together. Along with them, various broken and tattered items were stacked into a small mountain.

Time was limited. Most of the corpses on the ground were the Undead Summoned Creatures of Fang Zhou and the Skeleton Mage. They had already been properly processed, so Fang Zhou didn’t need to worry about them further.

He simply commanded his Undead Army to sort and organize the corpses before storing them in his Space Storage Capsule.

At this moment, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but feel a surge of gratitude for his loyal guardian, the Six-armed Snake Demon Warrior. If not for this generous Demon Lord from the Six-armed Snake Demon clan who had gifted his entire fortune, Fang Zhou would never have obtained such a precious purple pouch to enhance his Space Storage Capsule.

If his Space Storage Capsule hadn’t recently been expanded by several times, it might not have been able to hold all these rare and valuable corpse materials. After all, Fang Zhou had already harvested a large batch of frozen ancient corpses from the storage area.

According to Fang Zhou’s estimations, those Frozen Corpses had possessed decent physical attributes, being at least Silver Tier before death. They were likely candidates to become Hate Samurai, representing the Skeleton Mage’s true reserves. If they were all cultivated, their value would be even higher than the hundred broken Carved Golems before him. After all, Carved Golems had no intelligence, whereas the Hate Samurai retained their wisdom from life. Those with brains were naturally stronger than those without. Although their quality had surely degraded over a thousand years, they were still perfectly suitable for creating Bronze-Tier Undead Creatures.

For Fang Zhou, a traditional Undead Mage who loved money as much as his life, both the well-preserved frozen bodies and the severely war-damaged corpse materials were rare treasures. They were more than enough to grant his Undead Army a considerable increase in both size and combat power.

After cleaning up the workshop, Fang Zhou cheerfully led everyone to the Breeding Area.

The Black Gem Young Dragon, Tiamat, had previously sensed a pulse from its bloodline here. There had to be resources here that would be beneficial to its growth.

Deprived of the energy supply from the Ice Coffin, the Alchemical Rune Gate in the Breeding Area had lost its defensive function. Yan Yan easily broke through the sealed gate, and a large group of Undead Summoned Creatures flooded inside.

After the hatching of the seven Dragon Bone Soldiers and over a hundred Zombie Earth Dragons, the area was littered with broken dragon eggshells and a foul, decaying slime.

Wrinkling his nose at the nauseating stench, Fang Zhou had the Flame Medal members withdraw. After all, he was just their employer. Such tedious and dirty work, which required no skill, was best left to the Undead Creatures.

After about ten minutes of cleaning, Fang Zhou and Yan Yan cast several "Close Friend" utility spells, summoning gusts of fresh wind that swept the filthy Breeding Area clean.

Then, Fang Zhou activated his Soul Eagle Eye skill and began to sift through the mountain-like pile of loot, item by item. Of course, the vast majority of it was just worthless, rotting eggshells.

Only a few items caught his attention.

One was a palm-sized Dragon Scale. Its surface was covered in frost-like patterns, its edges were sharp as knives, and it was bone-chillingly cold to the touch.

"A Frost Dragon’s Reversed Scale?!" Yan Yan couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing the Dragon Scale, which was imbued with rich Magic Power and chilling energy.

Given Fang Zhou’s now-extensive knowledge and his dedicated study of Dragon Sect creatures since acquiring the Black Gem Young Dragon, he naturally knew what kind of resource a Frost Dragon’s Reversed Scale was.

Tiamat immediately began to flap its wings eagerly, sending waves of longing toward Fang Zhou.

The Dragon Sect, as formidable mythological creatures, have a growth process divided into several clear stages. They are divided into several distinct stages: Dragon Egg, Hatchling, Wyrmling, Young Dragon, Youthful Dragon, Adult Dragon, Prime Dragon, Old Dragon, and Extremely Old Dragon. Each stage is accompanied by significant changes and an increase in abilities.

A Dragon Egg is usually larger than an adult human’s head. Its shell is as hard as metal and covered in a fine, scale-like pattern. Dragon Eggs of different species vary in color; for example, a Red Dragon’s egg is deep red, while a Black Dragon’s is as dark as ink. Tiamat’s Black Gem Dragon Egg, by contrast, glittered with an eerie starlight.

The inside of a Dragon Egg contains potent life energy, and the shell can withstand most low-tier physical and Magic Attacks. Dragon Eggs require specific environments to hatch; Red Dragon eggs need high-temperature lava, while Black Dragon eggs need a dark, damp environment. The incubation time varies by species, typically taking several decades or even centuries.

Dragon Eggs themselves possess no offensive capabilities, but they emit a faint draconic aura, driving away weak creatures that get too close. Some Dragon Eggs, when threatened, will release elemental energy like fire, frost, or poison mist as a form of self-protection.
