Chapter 217: Skeleton Warhorse, Speculations on Summoning Warriors

Among the corpses of this batch of undead creatures, those whose Supernatural Grade reaches Third Tier are Bone Dragon, Skeleton Mage, Undead Knight, and Lich—these four types.

After refining the Lich's corpse, the obtained items are equivalent to those from the Wraiths Su Hao previously killed: a Lich's Soul Crystal and a Spirit Body Cloak.

The Lich's Soul Crystal can be used to concoct a potion for a Third Tier Necromancer; if taken directly, it also enhances soul strength.

However, note that if a living being consumes it, there is a relatively high chance it will cause the flesh to decay, transforming them into a Lich.

The Spirit Body Cloak functions the same as the Wraith's: by storing it in the soul, it can defend against soul-targeted attacks.

Moreover, this is a Supernatural Third Tier Spirit Body Cloak, providing stronger defense; if synthesized, its effect will inevitably be greater.

After refining the Skeleton Mage's corpse, the obtained items are also two.

One is a somewhat tattered robe, called the Skeleton Mage Robe; when undead wear it, it reduces the magic damage they take. If the damage is Undead Magic, the reduction is even greater.

The other is a staff made entirely of bone, called the Skeleton Mage Staff; it enhances the effect of Undead Magic and can only be used by undead creatures. After refining the Undead Knight's corpse, two items are also obtained.

One is a set of armor, similar in effect to the Headless Knight's armor, with decent defense and capable of resisting some soul attacks.

A Supernatural Second Rank basically cannot break this armor's defense; it is a decent piece of defensive equipment.

However, note that if a living being wears this equipment, they will fall into becoming an undead creature.

Another item looks rather strange: it is a Skeleton Warhorse model, only the size of a palm.

It is considered strange because this Skeleton Warhorse seems like a living creature, with two flames of soul fire in its head.

With a tentative attitude, Su Hao used the Item Appraisal Technique on it.

【Skeleton Warhorse Soul】

Supernatural Grade: Third Tier

Effect: After using the Skeleton Warhorse Soul, undead creatures can bind a Skeleton Warhorse.

After binding, by consuming mental power, one can summon a Skeleton Warhorse to assist in battle.

Furthermore, after using the Skeleton Warhorse Soul, there is an extremely small chance to obtain the Skeleton Warhorse Summoning Technique.

……

"If a Pale Skeleton Warrior binds a Skeleton Warhorse and then puts on a set of knight armor, isn't that equivalent to an Undead Knight?"

Su Hao stroked his chin, revealing a thoughtful expression.

If a Pale Skeleton Warrior rides a Skeleton Warhorse and wears knight armor, they can manually assemble into a Skeleton Knight.

Then, by adding the Skeleton Summoning Technique, the Pale Bone Pearl, the Skeleton Warhorse, and the knight armor, could the Skeleton Summoning Technique be turned into an enhanced version of the Undead Knight Summoning Technique?

If this method is feasible, does that mean that if we further synthesize the Skeleton Mage Staff with it, we could summon a Skeleton Mage, or perhaps a Skeleton Knight capable of using Undead Magic? "Hah—!"

"Let's first see what the Bone Dragon's corpse yields after refining."

Su Hao took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and turned his gaze to the other side.

Among the undead creatures attacking this time, the strongest is none other than the Bone Dragon.

Therefore, theoretically, the items obtained from refining the Bone Dragon's corpse should be the strongest.

Thus, Su Hao's expectations for the Bone Dragon's corpse are also the highest.

After refining the Ancient Dragon's corpse completely, a total of three different items were obtained.

The first is several bone fragments of equal size and shape, called Bone Dragon's Fragmented Bone. After consumption, undead creatures below Supernatural Third Tier can increase their bone strength and have a small chance to raise their Supernatural Grade.

For low-tier undead creatures, Bone Dragon's Fragmented Bone can be considered a priceless holy relic.

However, for Su Hao it seems rather useless; even Bone Dragon's Fragmented Bone, with its minuscule chance to upgrade undead below Third Tier, is of no use at all.

Know that Su Hao's undead army numbers in the thousands and tens of thousands—what use are just a few Bone Dragon fragments?

The second item is a shrunken version of the Bone Dragon's skull, called the Bone Dragon's Skull; its effect is far superior to the fragments.

After consuming the Bone Dragon's Skull, there is a certain chance for an ordinary undead creature to transform into a Supernatural Third Tier Bone Dragon.

Unfortunately, the quantity is extremely limited—each Bone Dragon yields only one skull.

Otherwise, we could use this to create an army of Bone Dragons.

But soon, Su Hao thought of another method to produce a Bone Dragon army.

If we synthesize the Bone Dragon's Skull with the Skeleton Summoning Technique, perhaps we could, like summoning Skeleton Warriors, use ordinary white bone as a medium to summon a Bone Dragon.

Su Hao did not gather for an experiment; anyway, leaving this here won't lose it, and there is still plenty of time before the day ends.

Immediately he looked at the remaining item—a blue crystal nearly half a meter tall.

Among the three items refined from the Bone Dragon's body, this one has the strongest aura.

This blue crystal gives Su Hao the feeling of a Bone Dragon standing before him.

If nothing unexpected occurs, this blue crystal should contain some ability of the Bone Dragon.

Then Su Hao's mind stirred slightly, and he used the Item Appraisal Technique on this blue crystal.

【Bone Dragon's Dragon Crystal】

Supernatural Grade: Third Tier

Effect: After consumption by undead creatures, it can enhance their mental power and soul strength.

And there is an extremely small probability to obtain the Bone Dragon's exclusive active skill—Death Breath.

For non-undead creatures, consumption only gives a certain chance to gain the effect of enhanced mental power and soul strength.

……

"Death Breath? Sounds pretty cool."

Su Hao nodded, but with such a tiny chance of obtaining it, it's basically equivalent to a zero success rate.

However, with the Synthesis Heart in hand, and given that there are not a few Bone Dragons in this wave, synthesizing it once or twice will surely greatly increase the chance.

After examining the three items obtained from refining the Bone Dragon corpses, Su Hao roughly understood this harvest; next, he just needs to finish refining all these corpses.

But before that, Su Hao plans to use up today's synthesis count first.

After having the idea of the Undead Knight, Su Hao intends to use all five of today's synthesis opportunities entirely on synthesizing the Skeleton Warrior Summoning technique.

Let's see if we can synthesize a skill capable of summoning a skeleton knight, even a Bone Dragon.
