Mercenary Wars

Chapter 58 Undead
"Boom!" The shock wave arrived, and the fire skeleton staggered suddenly under the impact, and the flames on its body dissipated a lot.

Then the grocer roared and rushed towards the skeleton with his shield.

With the help of the Word of Truth, his impact was much more powerful than before, while the Flame Skeleton had just been hit by a shock wave and its body was shaking.

Immediately there was a loud bang, and the skeleton was knocked out and hit the wall.

The Forbidden Bookseller also completed his spell, and many pieces of ice swirled around his staff and shot towards the flaming skull as he moved.

At the same time, Gao Jianuo drew his bow and drew his arrow, and a few drops of blood fell from his fingertips onto the steel arrowhead.

"Swish--" Then the bowstring vibrated, and the enchanted steel arrow, with the help of six swift breezes, hit the skull of the flaming skeleton.

With a "click" sound, the skeleton was shot through the skull and nailed directly to the wall.

Everyone then concentrated their fire and launched a fierce attack.

However, as an undead, the Flame Skeleton was obviously not so easy to kill. Although it had been attacked by everyone and the flames on its body were almost extinguished, it still struggled and broke free from the wall.

This time he targeted Gao Jianuo, probably because the arrow that pierced his skull caused him great pain - although the undead may not feel pain.

Looking at the staggering flaming skeleton, Gao Jianuo did not dodge, but took out the spell scroll of Yemen's healing technique and rushed forward.

For ordinary creatures, the Holy Light Healing spell can be used for healing, but for the undead, the effect is just the opposite.

The spell scroll was torn apart and holy light shot out.

"Boom." The skeleton fell down.

Kill level 5 mindless undead, experience +125

[Experience: 1108/1200]

Having grabbed the kill, Gao Jianuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Others clearly didn't quite understand his motives.

The Orange Merchant couldn't help but say, "I feel like a few more smite attacks will kill it. There's no need to waste a healing scroll."

Gao Jianuo only said: "This is Yemen's scroll. I don't want to keep it forever."

"By the way, does anyone have Mosa's healing scroll?" He looked at everyone.

"I have it here, do you want to buy it?"

"Well, I'll buy a few pairs."

After a while, several people looked at the skeleton on the ground.

After careful inspection, everyone unanimously determined that this was a level five undead.

The banned books dealer said, "According to the common black market price, the bone powder of a level five undead is about 180 silver coins per pound. I can buy this skeleton for 160 silver coins per pound. What do you think?"

"I'll give you one hundred and sixty-five silver coins," the cave-seeker said. "I've seen people selling it for two hundred silver coins a pound before."

The banned books dealer frowned, "One hundred and seventy silver coins. If you have one copper more, I'll give it to you."

The cave explorer hesitated for a moment and made no further bid.

No one else was interested in bidding, so the skeleton became the property of the banned books dealer.

After weighing, the skull weighed nearly twenty pounds, with a total value of about thirty-four gold coins. So, each of the five people, except the banned books seller, received five gold and sixty silver coins.

After dividing the money, the six continued to explore the dungeon.

In addition to the stake in the middle, there are several stakes on both sides of the area, some of which also have a skeleton tied to them.

Unfortunately, these skeletons did not become undead. No matter how many people shouted the name "Dato's XVI", they did not respond at all.

Several people had to leave in disappointment.

"We found it. There is indeed a cave entrance!" The excited voice of the cave seeker came, and several people followed and went into a cave entrance.

Gao Jianuo was about to follow, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks when he caught a glimpse of something and turned to look at a skeleton tied to a stake.

Why does this skeleton seem to move?
Gao Jianuo frowned, then held two Mosaic healing scrolls, approached the skeleton, and carefully reached out to touch it.

[Race: Intelligent Undead - Farallo]

[Level: Level 4] [Status: Normal]

It turns out to be an intelligent undead!

Playing dead here!
Gao Jianuo didn't think much about it and directly tore open the spell scroll, ready to gain experience and level up.

The undead instantly stopped pretending, and a trembling voice came from among the bones: "No, don't kill me... We can make a deal!"

Gao Jianuo paused and asked: "What deal?"

The dead soul said: "If you help me to untie the bonds, I will tell you my treasure."

Gao Jianuo: "Where is your treasure?"

The undead hesitated.

Gao Jianuo shook the spell scroll in his hand.

The undead quickly explained, "In the cemetery east of Prestor Castle, there is a tomb with the words 'Tomb of Respected Father Finn' written on it. All my treasures are in it, and they are all given to you."

Gao Jianuo was still considering whether to kill this undead in exchange for experience.

The undead spirit vaguely sensed his thoughts and immediately pleaded, "I'm not a monster, at least not when I was alive. I'm just an ordinary person persecuted by the Vatican of Pope Dato XVI. I still remember my family clearly..."

Gao Jianuo was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "I will come to release you after a while, but you are undead now. Even if I release you, where can you go?"

Undead: "There is something in the tomb that can help me."

Gorgano: "But you already gave it to me."

Undead: “…”

"Tav!" The teammates found that Gao Jianuo had not caught up, and heard a call from afar.

Gao Jianuo responded: "I'm going to pee!"

"Hurry, there are a lot of poisonous frogs here!"

Gao Jianuo immediately said to the undead: "Just wait, I will keep my promise and help you untie the restraints."

"Thank you."

"By the way, are there any other undead here?"

"There should be no more."

Gao Jianuo turned and left, followed the path his teammates had taken and entered a cave. He soon saw several people fighting against poisonous frogs.

Seeing this, he quickly bent his bow and arrow and shot some poisonous frogs.

Unfortunately, he was still a little late. After gaining only 60 experience points, the poisonous frog was killed by his teammates.

[Experience: 1168/1200]

Looking at the corpses of poisonous frogs that did not belong to him, Gao Jianuo felt a little regretful.

He realized that he should have been more decisive when talking to the undead just now - whether it was decisively choosing to kill the other party or decisively choosing to rescue the other party.

Deal with the poisonous frog corpse.

Several people continued to move forward along the cave.

The ground here is so rugged and undulating that it is hard to tell how it was formed.

The only thing that is certain is that this is definitely not a man-made product.

"Oh, a piece of Resban ore!" The cave explorer found a piece of ore protruding between the rocks and immediately ran over excitedly to dig it out.

This is not a valuable thing. To the others, the greatest significance of this ore is that it basically confirms the cave explorer's dwarf identity.

Because only dwarves are very interested in Resban Ore, it is said that the famous Dwarven Black Steel is made of Resban Ore as one of its raw materials.

For the next half hour, the cavers sporadically discovered and dug up Resban ore, until the drastic medicine expert pointed forward and exclaimed, "Look at that!"

The holy light in the orange merchant's hand became brighter. Several people looked at it and then their eyes widened: "This is-"
