Chapter 162: Skeleton Warriors Capable of Using Blood Shield Technique

Back when Su Hao was at the T235 Experimental Base, he used the Bone Spur skill and the Skeleton Warrior Summoning skill to synthesize, giving the summoned skeleton warriors the Bone Spur skill.

Furthermore, after the synthesis, the summoned skeleton warriors' duration became permanent, allowing them to serve as a regular garrison force in the territory.

Su Hao currently has an unused skill, so he thought of combining the Skeleton Warrior Summoning skill with the Blood Shield Technique once more.

Perhaps after this synthesis, the summoned skeleton warriors could gain the ability to use the Blood Shield Technique.

"Combine!"

This synthesis plan had already been decided by Su Hao when he synthesized the Skeleton Summoning Technique.

At this moment, he had no hesitation and immediately used today's fourth Synthesis Heart on the two skill runes deep in his soul.

The next moment.

A golden light shot forth, enveloping Su Hao's deep-soul Skeleton Summoning Technique and the Blood Shield Technique, forming a golden orb.

This state lasted about half an hour, after which the golden orb burst with blinding light, and a brand‑new skill rune appeared in Su Hao's soul.

The appearance of this skill rune is almost the same as the original Skeleton Summoning Technique, except that a blood‑red light membrane now surrounds the skeleton's body.

【Skeleton Summoning Technique】

Proficiency: Mastery

Supernatural Grade: Second Rank

Effect: Consumes mental power to summon skeleton warriors from a bone medium.

The higher the supernatural grade of the bone medium, the stronger and more numerous the summoned skeleton warriors become.

The summoned skeleton warriors have no limit on number or duration, and they come equipped with the Bone Spur and Blood Shield Technique skills.

……

"Not bad, I gained an extra Blood Shield Technique skill."

After reviewing the skill details, Su Hao gave a slight nod.

Allowing the skeleton warriors to gain an extra skill meets his basic requirement.

Although more skills aren't always better, when one has only a few skills, giving the skeleton warriors an additional Blood Shield Technique is indeed a significant improvement.

Moreover, the Blood Shield Technique is a defensive skill that does not conflict with the skeleton warriors' existing two skills, making this improvement even greater.

Afterward, Su Hao took out the Gravity Rock Axe and, with a powerful swing, cut his arm into two pieces.

Then, with the aid of consuming Crimson Essence Blood, he quickly grew a new arm, and again swung the axe, cutting this newly grown arm into two pieces.

Finally, he handed the chopped‑off arms to Da Xiong Mao to remove the fascia from them.

By repeatedly chopping off hands in this way, before long a large pile of severed hands had accumulated beside Su Hao, resembling a small hill.

"These should be enough."

Su Hao gave a slight nod, then snapped his fingers, and a blood‑red flame burst from the severed limbs, burning away all flesh and leaving only black bones.

These black bones serve as the medium for summoning skeleton warriors.

"Summon!"

The next moment.

A huge black magic circle appeared on the ground, and thick black mist drifted out from it, enveloping all the black bones.

Crack! Crack! Immediately after, crisp sounds came from the black mist, and skeleton warriors over two meters tall, with thick bones, black bone spikes covering their joints, and wielding black spears, stepped out of the mist.

The soul fire in the skeleton warriors' skulls flickered twice, as a greeting to Su Hao, then they stood aside awaiting his orders.

This state lasted five or six minutes, after which the huge black magic circle on the ground gradually faded, and the thick black mist dissipated.

The black bones piled like a small hill on the ground have now vanished.

In their place stood roughly ten thousand huge skeleton warriors.

【Skeleton Warrior】

Supernatural Grade: Second Rank

Skills: Savage Charge, Bone Spur, Blood Shield Technique. Introduction: Excellent strength and defense, relatively slow movement, no pain sensation, capable of using three skills, giving them greater combat power than most Supernatural Second Rank beings.

……

"This combat power is still decent."

Afterward, Su Hao conducted some simple tests on these skeleton warriors, gaining a rough understanding of their Bone Spur and Blood Shield Technique usage.

Although the Bone Spur and Blood Escape Technique they use differ greatly from Su Hao's.

But this is because Su Hao's mental strength has reached Third Tier.

It's not that the skeleton warriors are weak.

On the contrary, after two syntheses and using Su Hao's own bones as the summoning medium, the Bone Spur and Blood Shield Technique wielded by these skeleton warriors are somewhat stronger than those of ordinary Supernatural Second Rank beings.

Even among all Supernatural Second Rank beings, they could be considered mid‑upper tier.

Bone Spur is a wide‑range AOE skill effective at clearing small foes; ordinary First Rank Supernatural beings have no chance of blocking it.

Compared to the offensive Bone Spur skill, Su Hao is more satisfied with the defensive Blood Shield Technique.

When skeleton warriors use Blood Shield Technique, they can form a thin‑looking blood‑red shield around their bodies.

Yet this unassuming shield can block most attacks from Supernatural Second Rank beings, and breaking through its defense is no simple task.

Originally, while at the T235 Experimental Base, Su Hao had thought that if he could obtain a mechanical armor manufacturing device, equipping all skeleton warriors with a set of mechanical armor would greatly increase their survivability.

Unfortunately, the entire T235 Experimental Base was moved away, and Su Hao never found such a manufacturing device, leaving him somewhat disappointed.

Now that he has the Blood Shield Technique, he can make up for that regret; even without mechanical armor, the skeleton warriors' safety is considerably assured.

Not to mention First Rank Supernatural beings; even ordinary Supernatural Second Rank beings struggle to pierce the blood shield and harm the skeleton warriors.

Moreover, even if Zero Child develops a mechanical armor manufacturing process, Su Hao has no intention of making the skeleton warriors wear it.

After all, skeleton warriors capable of using Blood Shield Technique have an extremely low summoning cost—just some hand bones cut from his own arms, which could be called zero cost without exaggeration.

And yet, with this virtually zero cost, he can summon powerful skeleton warriors.

The blood shield technique being used is also enough to fend off most attacks from Supernatural Second Rank individuals.

In that case, why waste more resources making armor for them?

Later, equip these skeleton warriors with the Energy Mechanical Shield, Energy Laser Gun, and Energy Heat-melting Blade; such defensive power will be roughly enough.

Su Hao nodded in satisfaction, but before that, he intends to use today's final synthesis opportunity first.
