The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

[Unlocked Features: Knowledge of Souls, Knowledge of Haunting.]

[Knowledge of Souls]: Your understanding of souls has improved, making your own soul more tenacious. Also, your eyes can see souls and virtual entities.

[Knowledge of Haunting]: You have gained a deeper insight into confusion-controlling knowledge and have become proficient in dealing with various types of ghostly and ghoulish hauntings, Charisma +5.

The sudden notification made Wu Heng pause.

He had risen to level 8 and unlocked two features.

Unlike the initial slow level-ups.

The current battles were all against hordes of zombies, at least a thousand, at most, tens of thousands, a dense mass.

After killing them, the speed of experience accumulation was particularly fast.

Every battle could bring a large swath of experience.

If it were just ordinary zombie combat, it would even feel like a lawn-mowing game.

Wu Heng looked at the notification again.

At level 8, the attributes increased were still intelligence and charisma.

It seemed that the primary attributes of the Necromancer profession were intelligence, charisma, and constitution, which appeared on every level-up.

This time, in addition to increasing attributes, two exclusive features were also unlocked.

[Knowledge of Souls] and [Knowledge of Haunting].

The first one ‘Knowledge of Souls’ made his soul more tenacious, which could be understood as an increase in soul strength.

This was quite important.

The Book of Necromancy noted that some attack methods target the soul.

Even if your body isn’t damaged by such an attack, the person could still disintegrate.

Being able to resist these types of attacks was another self-protection feature.

If he could look at it pessimistically,

Having a strong soul means that even if he were to die, at worst, he could become a ghost, like Xiao Xiao and Glenda.

Even without his body, it could be considered as being alive.

It wouldn’t be a loss.

At the same time, the Knowledge of Souls could allow his physical eyes to see spiritual bodies or virtual entities.

This enhancement of perception was helpful.

Thinking this, he let Xiao Xiao out.

“What are you up to now?” Xiao Xiao half-lay in the air, curiously asking.

Hosting a soul felt like a rest for the living at night.

It could nourish his spirit on its own.

So he felt slightly groggy.

“Xiao Xiao, you go invisible,” Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao looked at him with a dubious expression and slowly disappeared into thin air.

Wu Heng continued to watch.

Even though Xiao Xiao disappeared from the air, in his gaze, he could still see the faint figure.

Combined with the Soul Sense he had awakened before, he could clearly see Xiao Xiao’s presence.

“What’s going on?” asked Xiao Xiao, who was invisible.

“You change your position and see,” Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao flew in a circle and asked from the left, “Where am I?” Then she quickly flew to the right.

Wu Heng looked straight at her, “Here!”

“Ya!” Xiao Xiao gasped in surprise, then slowly appeared, “Uncle, you can see me!”

“Well, I just started to see you,” Wu Heng said.

Apparently, his awakened characteristic was useful, as he could see the invisible ghost.

Xiao Xiao very sportingly said that he was really great, then floated to the sky above the battlefield to cheer for the fighting skeletons.

Wu Heng continued to look at his second feature, the Knowledge of Haunting.

This feature was simpler. A deeper understanding of the confusion-controlling knowledge became proficient in dealing with various types of ghosts. Also, Charisma +5.

Confusion-controlling spells corresponded to charisma.

He could get a chance to gather some corresponding skill books.

This attribute also added 5 points of charisma, which was also quite good.

The features checked, he casually opened the feature tab and had a look.

[Name: Wu Heng]

[Level: 8]

[Attributes: Strength 24, Agility 25, Constitution 25, Intelligence 28, Perception 15, Charisma 26.]

[Features: Spear Proficiency (Basic), Swordsmanship Proficiency (Basic), Light Armor Proficiency (Basic), Arcane Training, Knowledge of Souls, Knowledge of Haunting.]

[Abilities: Greyhawk Swordsmanship (Beginner), Enhance Will, Soul Sense.]

[Skills: Bone Manipulation Skill…Bone Armored, Corpse Cage.]

Looking at the overall attributes, his intelligence had finally overtaken.

It was no longer like before when strength and constitution were higher than intelligence.

After taking a quick look, he closed the attribute board and his gaze fell back on the battlefield in front of him.

…

The battle between the two sides was gradually coming to an end.

The zombie swarm had almost been wiped out by the skeleton troop after several rounds of charges.

Wu Heng swept his gaze over the entire battlefield.

Neither on-site nor in the pile of corpses was there any mutated zombies.

According to the map, the red circle represented a special danger.

But from the current situation, he didn’t find any particular danger.

“Uncle, there is a bad dog over there,” Xiao Xiao suddenly flew back and pointed at a distant alleyway.

Following Xiao Xiao’s gaze, Wu Heng saw nothing due to the discarded cars blocking his view.

However, the “bad dog” she mentioned usually referred to a Mutated Dog.

“How many?” Wu Heng asked.

“Two, they are peeking from over there.”

“Good, Xiao Xiao, you’re excellent.”

“Hehe.”

The battlefield continued, with skeletons slaying the occasional stray zombie.

Wu Heng lowered his voice and said, “Bawudong, you take a few skeletons and flank from that side. Don’t let the mutated dogs escape.”

Bawudong did not hesitate, leading a few skeletons from behind to encircle the area.

Once Xiao Xiao made a sign from the air.

Wu Heng gave the order immediately, “Charge.”

Big Guy instantly threw two trash cans, smashing them at the entrance of the alley.

The peeking mutated dogs were startled and ran down the alley.

But after only running a few steps, they were blocked by several figures on the other end.

Turning back, they found another exit blocked off.

The two mutated dogs growled angrily.

They rushed forward immediately.

Bawudong swung his leg, throwing the two mutated dogs against the wall.

The skeletons behind him rushed up and hacked them into sludge.

…

The battle ended.

The skeletons began cleaning up the battlefield.

The two mutated dogs were dragged out as well.

After Wu Heng used the Bone Manipulation Skill to turn them into skeleton dogs, he found two Corpse Cores.

He put them into his Space Ring and continued to unleash Dead Bones Battlefield on the zombie horde to replenish the number of skeletons.

Then, he reopened the map, looking for the next location marked with a red circle.

“Let’s move this way!”

With a wave of his hand, he took his skeletons and moved towards one side.

…

At dusk.

Outside the market.

The skeleton army had almost wiped out the zombie horde, and they began to clean up the battlefield.

In the course of the afternoon.

Wu Heng checked the map, and he had visited three places marked with red circles.

He killed more than ten thousand zombies, three mutated dogs, and two mutated cats.

Some of them were pretty cautious and ran away as soon as the battle began.

He didn’t catch them.

The gains were still considerable; his experience level increased, the number of skeletons increased, and he found five level one Corpse Cores.

The potion made from Corpse Cores was also effective for other people in both worlds.

Even though it didn’t have much of an impact on him anymore.

It was still a useful item for nurturing his subordinates.

Wu Heng glanced at the sky.

He decided to give up the idea of cleaning the fourth wave site.

He had to participate in the patrol at night, and he needed to maintain a good condition to avoid any dangers.

“Take the corpses and let’s go back!” Wu Heng ordered.

A large group of skeletons picked up the corpses and began to head back to their hotel.

The incident in Lundham City still put a lot of pressure on him.

It urged him to accelerate his power leveling.

To face the dangers that might occur at any time.

They quickly returned to the hotel.

He had the skeletons pile the corpses on the opposite side of the road.

He went back to his room and returned to his place via the boundary door.

…

A bedroom on the third floor in Lundham City.

Wu Heng went downstairs, and he heard voices from the first floor.

Mini and Andre Willow were already preparing dinner.

They were both maids that he had purchased at the same time and they got along well.

Mini accompanied Wei’er to the shop during the day. When they returned, Wei’er also helped Mini prepare meals and clean.

They had a very good relationship.

When Mini saw Wu Heng came down, she smiled, “Master, is Wen Mansha coming for dinner today?”

“Maybe not, it’s busy over there.”

“Oh okay.” Mini’s smile relaxed a lot, “Master, please wait a moment, dinner will be ready soon.”

“Okay.” Wu Heng nodded and lay on the sofa to rest.

He attended a meeting in the morning, led his members on patrol.

In the afternoon, he was busy clearing zombies, and he was quite mentally exhausted.

He lay on the sofa and rested for a while.

Footsteps echoed~!

Andre Willow was the first to come out from the kitchen.

She stood in front of the sofa and glanced at him cautiously, “Master.”

Wu Heng frowned, “What is it?”

Andre Willow immediately knelt down.

“Master, I beg you to help my kin.”
