Chapter 230: Skeleton Uprising, Skeleton Lizards

A low-level bone forge?

Shaking his head, Ji Chen didn’t feel much disappointment. He had anticipated this outcome.

After all, the guarding skeletons in this area ranged from Tier 1 to Tier 3, with a handful of white skeleton commanders among them.

With a wave of his hand, Ji Chen casually stored this low-level bone forge in his backpack. He looked around and confirmed that this was the only thing here before retracing his steps.

Back at the entrance of the skeleton camp, after only a short wait, Daro and his half-orc group appeared on the dunes, thundering towards them.

Plop-

Several differently-shaped heads were thrown on the ground. As Daro ran up, his rough voice resounded like thunder. He held three white crystals in his hand.

“Lord, I’ve taken care of those fleeing skeletons/’

“These three crystals rolled out of their heads.”

Crystals that fell from them?

Ji Chen seemed to recall something and reached out to receive them, examining them closely.

[White Heroic Soul Essence]

[Tier]: Special

[Effect]: Can immediately promote an ordinary creature to a white

Common-Tier hero.

Indeed, these were from the same series as the green Heroic Soul Essence that burst out from Styne the Malevolent Wind.

Three white Heroic Soul Essences could turn three ordinary individuals into heroes, even if they were just the lowest level of white Common-Tier.

There seemed to be an obvious development issue with the Crown of the Ocean.

Among the six heroes, four were purple Rare-Tier, while there was only one blue Excellent-Tier and one green Elite-Tier. Surprisingly, there was not a single white Common-Tier hero.

This structure was quite distorted.

If heroes like Alice and Anina, who were purple Rare-Tier, were likened to generals, then white Common-Tier heroes were like basic officers, the backbone of the force.

The lack of low-level heroes resulted in the need for high-tier combat heroes to handle every minor skirmish and small-scale monster invasion, which was wasteful and inefficient.

Moreover, there was the issue of how well heroes commanded armies.

Heroes like Anina, who were purely focused on violence, were more suited for solo combat. They were not good at leading armies in collective battles.

Not only did they fail to leverage the advantages of hero-commanded armies, but it also somewhat limited their abilities.

On the other hand, combat heroes like Benbo and Daro were not only adept at commanding Dragon Blood Murlocs and half-orc warriors, but they also provided significant boosts and enhancements.

If there were several heroes that could match their respective units, both in combat command and improving unit combat power, everything would be much smoother.

Storing the three white Heroic Soul Essences in his backpack, Ji Chen led his army away, searching for the next skeleton camp similar to this one.

He finally discovered that the skeleton commanders in this skeleton mystic realm had a relatively high probability of dropping Heroic Soul Essences. That was why he obtained three by conquering just one camp.

If he could conquer a few more camps and drop a dozen more Heroic Soul Essences, wouldn’t he gain several more heroes for the Crown of the Ocean?

With this thought in mind, Ji Chen was filled with enthusiasm. With a wave of his hand, he led his army to set off again.

He chose to advance in the direction the white skeleton commanders had fled.

Since they ran in this direction, there should be another skeleton camp or something similar somewhere.

With the main army as the center, he sent out over a hundred Naga Berserkers to scout the surroundings.

This skeleton mystic realm was as vast as the Blood Sea mystic realm.

After leaving the rocky hill, the sight within the field of vision was nothing but a vast expanse of red desert, appearing both desolate and lonely.

After crossing one hill, there was another hill. They seemed endless, covering the entire ground.

After walking for several hours without finding any skeleton camps, the sky gradually darkened, and the visibility around them rapidly decreased.

Seeing this, Ji Chen had no choice but to order the army to stop and set up camp in a sheltered valley.

Soon, the night fully descended.

The sky was covered in dense black clouds, and a blood-red moon emerged from behind the clouds. The crimson moonlight illuminated the gravel below, making it even more vibrant.

Listening to the howling wind outside the tent, Ji Chen, who held Alice’s soft body, gradually relaxed.

But before he could completely fall asleep, he faintly heard the sound of gravel shifting beneath the wind. However, he didn’t pay it much attention.

It wasn’t until a piercing warning cry came from outside that he suddenly opened his eyes.

“Enemy attack!!!”

Ji Chen instantly woke up and found that Alice was already awake, her face filled with alertness.

The two of them immediately got up and dressed, then quickly stepped out of the tent, bringing Alice along.

At a glance, they saw blood-red flames appearing on the tops of the sand dunes surrounding them.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes as he observed.

No, these were flames coming from the eye sockets of the skeleton creatures!

Why would there suddenly be so many skeleton creatures?

Could it be that other skeleton commanders had noticed them and gathered forces to attack under the cover of night?

Although he didn’t know the exact reason, Ji Chen knew that now wasn’t the time to dwell on this.

Listening to the relentless sounds of creaking and the soft shifting of gravel, it was clear that a large number of skeleton creatures were rushing toward them from the other end of the sand dunes.

A portion of them had already engaged in battle with the night-watch army.

Their encampment was situated in a valley, surrounded by sand dunes. Once the skeleton creatures seized the high ground at the top, they would have the advantage of attacking from above. At that point, things would become quite difficult..
