Chapter 48: Level 5 (There is an update explanation for the next few days after the text~)
The night in the Icy Plains was as its name suggested, quite cold, so cold that Xue Hua was still shivering after being wrapped in three layers of thick blankets, but fortunately, the physique of the professional made him not get sick, it was just that he couldn't sleep well in the cold.
At this time, Xue Hua especially misses the "fire bat" of the Terran in the StarCraft game, which is a human soldier who can spew ultra-high temperature flames from the jets in both hands, but unfortunately Xue Hua does not inherit the Terran base, and the units of the Zerg are basically not good at using the energy of "fire", and even because of the thick exoskeleton armor, even their bodies are cold, so that he can't hold it for warmth at all......
In the end, it was really cold and couldn't sleep, Xue Hua simply ordered the stinging snake to open a few big holes in the roof of the house, and then lit a bonfire in the house, and then barely fell asleep.
This night was peaceful, and there was a bug queen who took the insect swarm to keep vigil for Xue Hua, so he didn't need to care about the sneak attack of the monsters at all, of course, sometimes there were occasional unlucky ghosts who would be reborn into the house, but this kind of thing Xue Hua hadn't encountered a few times so far, so it was basically negligible.
In the early morning of the second day, when Xue Hua trembled and crawled out of the blanket, he was surprised to find that he had actually risen to level five, and there were nearly five hundred more crystal energy points in Leviathan's resource pool.
After questioning Isha, he learned that there were three waves of monsters roaming the village last night, a wave of dark pikemen with a number of about twenty and two waves of the Sinking Demon Tribe with more than seventy and a hundred respectively, of course, these guys were all quickly wiped out by the insect queen and the swarm led by the insect queen.
Since the process was not alarming, Isha did not alarm Xue Hua, who finally fell asleep.
"The number of monsters here is so great that it's speechless, and I don't know how other professionals live in the wild。。。。。。"
Xue Hua saw a small pile of items piled up at the door of various monsters, and he didn't find anything useful after picking and picking for a long time, so he threw them into the inventory, and muttered in his mouth.
What he didn't know was that only he, a madman, would venture so far away from the Rogge Outpost alone, and the other adventurers were hunting and exploring in groups not far from the Rogge Outpost, and occasionally those who went deep into the Icy Plains were also large teams of at least ten or more people, and some professionals would team up to go to the Bone Burial Land after the Icy Plains was upgraded to about level eight, and after killing the projection of the blood black, they would go directly back to the Rogue camp to obtain mercenary credentials and hire a Rogue as a mercenary, Continue your expedition back to the Icy Plains until you reach level 10 before heading to the more treacherous Stone Wilderness.
More professionals will choose to stay directly in the Icy Plains until around level 10, and then form a well-configured team to head to the Stone Wilderness.
Xue Hua, who boiled a pot of beef soup and folded ear meatloaf by the bonfire and ate it, finally warmed up with the temperature of the bonfire and the energy brought by the food, opened the inventory and took out the "Yiluo's Torch" that he had coveted for a long time, this staff finally had an effect after he was promoted to the fifth level, and the moment Xue Hua took it, a strange energy flowed from the staff into his body, and then the originally black "Domination Skeleton" skill in his skill bar was lit up... That's weird!
Xue Hua looked at the still black Domination Skeleton skill icon and suddenly felt confused, and then he suddenly remembered, as if this is indeed the case in the game, the skill points added to the equipment can't take effect until you learn that skill......
"Well, it looks like I'm thinking too much... But..."
Xue Hua glanced at the skeletons running around him, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pain, so he simply gritted his teeth decisively and put the skill point he had just upgraded into the passive skill of "Dominating Skeletons".
The skill point was put into effect, and the black icon was really lit up this time, and it directly became a second-level skill.
A vague connection was formed between Xue Hua and his skeletons the moment the skill icon lit up, and this connection made him feel like he could command them.
So he tentatively let one of the skeletons come in front of him while the others didn't move, and it turned out that this group of stupid guys actually did it!
"Hey, hey! It's fun! ”
Although as the master of the swarm, he already has a large army of swarms under his command, commanding a swarm like an arm and commanding a skeleton are two completely different experiences, the former is as natural as commanding his own body, while the latter has a commanding nature, like a superior commanding a subordinate.
While the former is more convenient to command, the latter is significantly more fun......
However, after playing for a while, Xue Hua also discovered that the first-level dominating skeleton could only let him issue very rough orders to these bone frames, such as "forward", "backward", "attack", "come here", "go there", etc., and the slightly more complicated command skeletons could not understand, once they could not understand the command, they would spin around in place, or simply stay still.
But that's enough, all Xue Hua needs is to let them cooperate with the swarm, and he doesn't plan to let them fight the main attack, and the effect of dominating the skeleton is not only to make the skeleton become obedient, this skill will also strengthen the skeleton's bone strength and attack power, making them more threatening on the battlefield.
Originally, the skill points obtained by upgrading Xue Hua were prepared to stay without points, and after preparing to level six, they were placed on the "corpse explosion" skill of the white bone and toxin system, so that with the +1 of all the skills of the weapon, the corpse explosion would be directly upgraded to the second level.
In the real world, the corpse explosion damage of the necromancer is based on the strength of the corpse before death, the more powerful the corpse owner is, the more destructive the corpse explosion is, if you have the ability to come up on the corpse of one of the three demon gods (whichever one is), I am afraid that anything next to it will be blown up to the scum.
Of course, the skill level is also one of the keys, the higher the skill level of the corpse explosion, the higher the utilization rate of the corpse's pre-mortem power, for example, if you throw the corpse of a large pineapple to the Diamond Gate (the gate of the high-level heaven) before a corpse explosion, then the first-level corpse explosion may only blow up half of the Diamond Gate, but if it is a ninety-ninth level corpse explosion, it will directly kill half of the heavens.
This skill is one of the main output skills of the necromancer both in the game and in the real world, and even the summoning necromancer will give priority to learning this skill if he has enough summoning skill level.
As for the other skills of the summoning system and the curse system and the white bone and toxin system, Xue Hua did not plan to learn it for the time being, the summoning system did not plan to invest in skill points until it found enough to strengthen the necromancer's summon to the point that it was useful to him who had a swarm, and the skills of the sixth level of the curse system were "faint dark vision" and "weakening", these two skills are not of much help to the current Xue Hua, reducing or not reducing the vision range and attack power of the monster is meaningless for the swarm, and there is Yiluo's torch, The first-level skills are also enough for the time being, and the other skills of the white bone and toxin system, "teeth", are of little significance, and the power is not as strong as the spiny needle of the stinging snake, and the "white bone armor" is not bad, but it is not worth investing too much, and the "quenching dagger" is completely a funny skill, and it is completely not considered, and the only thing left is the explosion of the corpse.
But unfortunately, the plan did not change quickly, and after putting the upgraded skill points into the "Domination Skeleton", Xue Hua only had one extra skill point left in his hands.
He has invested a total of 4 skill points in the three skills of summoning skeletons, damage amplification, and dominating skeletons, of which only one point is assigned to the other two skills except for summoning skeletons.
After taking Iro's torch, the skill level of summoning skeletons has not changed, but the two skills of damage amplification and dominating skeletons have become level 2, which can be regarded as slightly strengthening his combat ability.
Fortunately, Xue Hua didn't pin all his hopes on his necromancer profession, and for him, the development of the swarm was the most important thing now.
