Chapter 139: Life Source Crystal! Earth Dragon Heart

"But this is also normal; recruiting a skeleton soldier only costs a few Energy Points!"

"And the resources to recruit one Bronze Realm Undying Bone Dragon could recruit ten thousand skeleton soldiers!"

Qin Luo analyzed, his brows furrowing, "With the expansion of the territory, the enemies encountered are becoming more powerful; skeleton soldiers are probably really becoming cannon fodder, or even no different from having none, with no sense of existence at all!"

But as an Undead Lord, it is impossible for him to only recruit some powerful Undead, such as Undying Bone Dragons; their strength is indeed very strong, but their numbers are too small, and no amount of resources can recruit many.

Skeleton soldiers are weak, but their advantage is that the recruitment cost is small!

It's just that ordinary skeleton soldiers really can't keep up with the rhythm of the territory's development!

Especially after the appearance of Undying Bone Dragons, the role of Ordinary Realm skeleton soldiers is negligible; I'm afraid that in the future, only the bond of the "Undead Legion" will be able to play a role, providing an Undead Dark Array to help boost the strength of friendly forces and weaken and trap enemies!

"Death Land!"

In Qin Luo's mind, the scene of Wang Qi and more than ten thousand Undead skeleton soldiers evolving into Mutated Elite units in the Death Land appeared again!

Skeleton soldiers becoming skeleton spearmen, ordinary units becoming Mutated Elite units, is a complete transformation.

Not only is their strength enhanced, their potential is greatly improved, and their growth speed has become faster.

Not to mention being able to catch up with the Rare unit Undying Bone Dragon, but don't fall too far behind!

"Must figure out this Death Land as soon as possible!"

"If I can control the Death Land, my skeleton soldiers will no longer be cannon fodder in the future, but powerful Mutated Elite units!"

"The Elite units recruited by others are estimated to cost more than ten Energy Points."

"And my skeleton soldier's cost is only 2.5 Energy Points; once upgraded to a Mutated Elite skeleton spearman, the status increases several times!"

Qin Luo thought while calculating.

Sending all the skeleton soldiers under his command to the Death Land for "gilding"—as long as one-fourth survive, it's not a loss.

If the survival rate is higher than one-fourth, it's pure profit.

If no accidents happen, it's simply a huge profit!

"Let's check the harvest first!"

Qin Luo withdrew his thoughts; the matter of troop evolution must be considered in the long run, as it will affect important future development.

This time, two monster nests were destroyed, and rich resources were harvested, which were higher than the gains from several Dark Offensives tonight.

The Energy Points alone were shockingly high.

Destroying the Thorn Source Tree Nest obtained 25,000 points, destroying the Thorn Earth Dragon Nest obtained 18,000 points, plus the double rewards under the Scarlet Moon rule, a full 86,000 Energy Points were obtained!

In addition, there were 120 Barracks Hearts in total!

Upgrading to the next tier of barracks requires 1,000 Barracks Hearts; this immediately completed one-ninth of the requirement.

There were six Bronze Grade Magic Crystals (double), as well as a large amount of resources: 60,000 units of Stone, 6,000 units of Bronze, 6,000 units of Mithril!

"Could this Jingji Shilin be a mineral deposit that simultaneously possesses Bronze or Mithril?"

Qin Luo couldn't help but guess.

After all, the harvested resources wouldn't be born for no reason; they are basically related to the destroyed target.

Being able to explode so much Bronze and Mithril means that the Jingji Shilin or its vicinity has mineral deposits that can extract Bronze and Mithril.

Mithril mine!

This is the first time it has been discovered!

It's just that there is a problem, and that is that the Jingji Shilin is relatively far from the territory, even the straight-line distance is five or six kilometers, which is further than the route from the territory to the Orc Tribe.

If one wants to occupy and develop the mineral deposits of the Jingji Shilin, one must send heavy troops to guard them.

Otherwise, they will be attacked by other race creatures or monsters.

At least one Bronze Realm Undead unit and a large number of skeleton soldiers must be configured to hold this mineral deposit.

After thinking for a while, Qin Luo continued to take stock of the harvest.

This time, many special treasures were exploded!

2 Life Source Crystals!

This is the life crystal of the Thorn Source Tree, a treasure containing rich life energy; taking it can greatly improve Physique, vitality, and recovery ability, and there is a certain chance to awaken special abilities.

The uses are very extensive, especially for refining healing medicines, the effect is very good, and it can also be taken directly, and there are no side effects, and it can be taken an infinite number of times.

There are also 4 Earth Dragon Hearts; this thing comes from the Thorn Earth Dragon leader, contains the life energy of the Thorn Earth Dragon, and taking it can improve personal physical fitness, and there is also a certain chance to awaken the Thorn Earth Dragon's ability; one person can take at most one, and multiple takings will not improve the effect.

By comparison, the value of the Life Source Crystal is clearly higher than the Earth Dragon Heart.

Whoosh!

Qin Luo took the things out of the system reward space.

The Life Source Crystal looks like an emerald gem, gleaming with green luster, emitting a rich life aura; smelling it once makes one feel refreshed and the blood flow smooth.

As for the Earth Dragon Heart, it looks like an earthy-yellow crystal, very hard; if it were placed on the ground, one would think it was an ordinary stone!

Gulp!

Qin Luo took a bite of the Earth Dragon Heart; it was hard, and it didn't have any taste, just like eating a stone!

This Earth Dragon Heart increased Qin Luo's Strength from 184 to 186, and his Physique from 196 to 199, almost breaking through the 200 mark; clearly, this is also a threshold, not something that can be broken through easily!

Overall, the Earth Dragon Heart increased Qin Luo's attribute points by five, which is considered not bad.

It's just a pity that he didn't obtain the Thorn Earth Dragon's special ability or skill!

And the two Life Source Crystals allowed Qin Luo to obtain the special ability "Source of Life"!

Of course, "Source of Life" is indeed not bad, but if he could choose, Qin Luo would rather obtain the Thorn Mother Tree's talent "Endless Absorption," which can absorb and quickly digest the energy of other creatures or metal element energy.

This is somewhat similar to one of his talent effects, "Devour Evolution."

It's just that the Devour Evolution effect is for Undead troops, and it has no effect on Qin Luo.

Qin Luo continued to look down.

2 Thorn Source Tree seeds!

200 Thorn Demon Fruits!

Thorn Source Tree seed, a plant with extremely tenacious vitality, can survive in extremely harsh environments, can absorb various energies between heaven and earth, including but not limited to stones, yellow soil, biological corpses, and various metal elements, etc., and obtain rapid growth!

In the area of the Barren Land, ordinary plants are very difficult to survive.

Only special plants like the Thorn Source Tree can survive, and they can live very well.

Because there are various rich metal ores everywhere under this Barren Land, which is simply a paradise for the Thorn Source Tree.

In such an environment, the growth speed must be shockingly fast.

It's just that the Thorn Mother Tree was controlled by the female Thorn Earth Dragon leader, and its growth speed was suppressed instead.

Otherwise, the Thorn Mother Tree encountered tonight would probably not just be Bronze Three-Star; it is possible that it could be Silver Realm, or even Gold Realm is not impossible.

Thorn Demon Fruit is the fruit borne after the Thorn Source Tree matures; it has the effect of quenching thirst and satisfying hunger, contains a small amount of life energy, and taking it has a certain chance to obtain 1 random attribute point; the attributes obtained through Thorn Demon Fruit are at most ten points; after reaching ten points, taking it again will no longer increase attribute values.

"This is also considered a good thing!"

Qin Luo had a fruit in his hand that was the size of an apple, with a pale yellow skin and an appearance a bit like a baby's face.

Qin Luo ate it directly; he immediately felt a sweet and delicious taste, very delicious, better than any fruit he had eaten before, making one want to eat more after eating it.
