It struggled frantically within the cramped bone prison, but to no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more spears pierced its flesh, blood sprayed out, finally ending the Leopard King’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Leopard King died, Fang Zhou was the only living creature left in this part of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou casually walked into the bloody scene, taking photos to document the carcasses of the Blast Horned Sheep and Gale Leopards on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are the key to claiming my rewards and contribution points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the corpses littering the ground, Fang Zhou felt a sense of happy frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were too many bodies, but the Artificial Undead skill required other auxiliary materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the abundance of corpses, the necessary Undead Attribute materials were scarce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This greatly limited Fang Zhou’s efficiency in creating Artificial Undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the bodies of both the Blast Horned Sheep and Gale Leopards were worth some money, their value wasn’t particularly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Fang Zhou decided to abandon the idea of selling them. Instead, he let his Corpse Warriors absorb the Flesh and Blood Essence from the bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current corpses were all Black Iron Tier. Each one was a significant supplement for the Corpse Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Fang Zhou wished, he could even reanimate them to gain more skeletons as minions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the final step in controlling Artificial Undead required imprinting a loyalty Contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the key to how Fang Zhou could control his created Undead as if they were his own limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, under the current principles of creating Artificial Undead, the number of loyalty Contracts an Undead Mage could imprint was limited. This limit was closely related to their Soul Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than creating a bunch of weak, ordinary skeletons, it’s better to focus on improving quality while maintaining a decent number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Fang Zhou’s command, the Corpse Warriors approached the carcasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They thrust their weapons into the corpses and began absorbing their Flesh and Blood Essence, and the bodies visibly turned gray and withered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Fang Zhou approached the Leopard King’s body, which he knew contained a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Fierce Beasts have Energy Organs, but not every Fierce Beast can unleash talent spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those that could use talent spells all had Magic Crystals inside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou directed several Corpse Warriors to arduously cut open the body, finding a green, walnut-sized Magic Crystal within its heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Treasure acquired!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Magic Crystal was worth at least 300 Magic Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this Magic Crystal’s rank was only Black Iron Tier, it was of the Storm Series.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be an excellent choice for inlaying on a Magic Wand to engrave some Storm Series spells or augmentation-type spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smile, Fang Zhou took the Magic Crystal, wiped the blood from its surface, and stored it in his Space Storage Capsule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked down at the corpse and began to cast a spell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou planned to reanimate the Leopard King and use it as a mount for the next few days of travel in the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Gem Young Dragon, Tiamat, was currently too small, and its power was too immense to be used just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traveling through the mountains these past few days, even on the Skeleton Warhorse, had left Fang Zhou exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, finding a way to reduce the burden on his own two feet was an excellent opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, once the Leopard King’s body was turned into a skeleton, it should be much faster than an ordinary Skeleton Warhorse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spell’s energy poured onto the Leopard King’s corpse, and soon, a two-meter-tall Skeleton Giant Leopard stood up once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou used magic to manipulate the creature’s back, causing a bone saddle to grow from its spine, then draped a piece of the Leopard King’s own fur over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Done!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the original ingredients for the final product... a luxurious ride, just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou ordered the Skeleton Giant Leopard to crouch down, then sat atop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Corpse Warriors had finished absorbing the Flesh and Blood Essence from the corpses, Fang Zhou recalled most of his Summoned Creatures back into the Summoning Tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took only thirty to forty of them with him as he pressed onward, searching for traces of other Fierce Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relatively speaking, Fierce Beasts with talent spells are more profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Black Iron Fierce Beasts, even if he gathered all the valuable parts from their bodies, were only worth one or two hundred Magic Stones each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Fierce Beasts with talent spells also possessed higher combat prowess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other teams, like the Fierce Tiger Team, would have likely struggled against this pack of Gale Leopards. They might have even suffered injuries trying to take them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But falling into Fang Zhou’s hands, the Gale Leopards were simply unlucky.
