The longsword made of pure silver shone with a silver glow under the moonlight.
Meg stood with the sword in his hand, and looked down at the skeleton soldiers that were climbing up the cliff quickly.
Irina looked at the serious Meg, and rolled her eyes. "Given your ability, even if you use a wooden sword, you will be able to cut these fellows down like chopping vegetables. The result is not useful at all."
"This is indeed a problem." Meg nodded. He kept the silver sword in his hand, and took out two crossbows instead.
These were two standard crossbows of the Roth Empire's army. They were engraved with the most basic enhancement spell formation.
Meg held one crossbow in each hand. One of them was equipped with a silver arrow, while the other was equipped with a normal arrow.
His gaze searched for targets among the skeletons, and he quickly chose two skeletons that were similar in size. They were obviously of the same race, and they were not very strong.
"Help me take a picture of the experiment," Meg said to Irina, and then pressed the trigger.
Swoosh!
Swoosh! Two crossbow arrows were shot out, and left a mark in the air as they hit the two skeletons at the same time.
The silver arrow landed on the skull of the skeleton, and was instantly flattened. The arrow shaft hit the skull, and broke inch by inch. That skeleton only swayed a little, and then continued to climb up as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, the other standard crossbow arrow, with a special arrowhead, was nailed on the skull of the skeleton. Although it did not penetrate, it still sent the skeleton flying backward. It fell to the bottom of the cliff, and became a pile of broken bones.
"Looks like a terrible improvement." Irina waved the photostone in her hand with a smile.
"Looks like pure silver won't work." Meg nodded, and then took out a peach wood arrow.
"Wooden arrow?" Irina was a little shocked.
Elves were born archers. Almost every elf was an excellent archer. Her understanding of archery was far above Meg's.
Previously, the silver arrows were unable to cause any damage to the skeletons. Now that Meg was using the wooden arrows, wasn't he being too hasty?
"These aren't ordinary wooden arrows. These are arrows with mahogany arrowheads." Meg aimed the crossbow at a skeleton and pulled the trigger.
The peach wood arrow flew out and accurately hit the skull between its eyebrows.
Surprisingly, when the seemingly fragile wooden arrow came into contact with the skeleton, the tip of the arrow actually emitted a golden light.
The red light in the skeleton's eyes flickered, and a hole was melted in between its eyebrows. The wooden arrow had pierced into the skeleton's head.
The skeleton seemed to have been ignited and quickly turned into a ball of golden fire. As it burned, it fell down. When it landed, it had already turned into ashes.
"This …" Irina looked at this scene in surprise.
The skull that the standard crossbow bolts had failed to penetrate was actually pierced through by a wooden arrow. Furthermore, a mysterious ray of light appeared and turned the skull into ashes.
"Ninth Uncle didn't lie to me!"
Meg's eyes also lit up. He didn't expect the mahogany arrowhead to have such a miraculous effect.
"Let's see how strong a skeleton this mahogany can be." Meg took another mahogany arrow, aimed at a high-level skeleton emitting level-seven strength, and pulled the trigger.
The mahogany arrow hit the skull between its eyebrows, and the golden light appeared again. However, at the same time, a dark red scale appeared between the skull's eyebrows, canceling out the golden light.
The mahogany arrowhead was quickly worn out, and the rest of the arrow shaft exploded, leaving only a black mark between the skull's eyebrows.
"It won't work after level-seven." Meg was deep in thought. The arrow was already aimed at a level-six skeleton.
The mahogany arrow pierced through the level-six skeleton. Although it didn't directly melt into ashes like the low-level skeletons, three consecutive arrows could kill a level-six skeleton.
"Is there a spell formation inscribed on this mahogany arrow?" Irina couldn't help but ask.
The crossbow bolts that could only pierce through level-three skeletons and couldn't kill them directly were actually able to kill level-six skeletons after the seemingly fragile mahogany arrow was replaced. This was really unbelievable.
"No, it's just a simple mahogany arrowhead." Meg shook his head with a smile. He took out a mahogany sword, and then took out half a jar of cinnabar powder and poured half a jar of water into it. After that, he dipped the mahogany arrowhead in the cinnabar water, and then reloaded the arrow and aimed at the level-seven skeleton from before.
"Boom!"
The cinnabar mahogany arrow hit the skeleton, and made a loud sound.
The skeleton that was previously unshakable had its skull blown off by this arrow, and its body was also blown into a pile of broken bones.
"This …"
Irina's eyes widened in shock.
"Mahogany and cinnabar, the magic power is boundless!" Meg couldn't help but clap his hands in his heart. This was a killer weapon that could kill the enemy's mid-level combat power.
He would never have thought that these things could cross time and space, and actually have such an incredible effect on the Norland Continent.
Meg carried out a few more experiments. Mahogany and cinnabar would cause an explosion when it came into contact with the skeletons. It had a devastating effect on skeletons below the 7th-tier.
However, its lethality was limited to skeletons above the 8th-tier.
Eighth-tier skeletons had silvery-white skeletons with mysterious dark-red runes swimming around them. Mahogany and cinnabar could no longer penetrate their defenses.
Meanwhile, the lethality of a normal longsword against the skeletons was significantly increased after the cinnabar was smeared on it.
As for the mahogany swords, their lethality was a notch higher than the mahogany arrowheads. However, it was obviously not very practical to supply mahogany swords in a short period of time.
After that, Meg tried to sprinkle glutinous rice on the skeletons.
The low-tier skeletons had an obvious fear reaction, while the skeletons above the 7th-tier could ignore the existence of the glutinous rice.
Meg kept the remaining half-filled bag of glutinous rice, and said to Irina, "Alright, let's capture 100 of them and bring them back. Let's eliminate the rest before Cthulhu arrives."
"Alright." Irina nodded, and took out her magic caster's staff.
Meg also took out the Tian Du sword.
The Holy Light shone over the canyon, and the flying sword slashed the skeletons.
The two of them cooperated with Ah Zi, and went in and out of the canyon seven times. It didn't take long for them to eliminate a large number of skeletons.
Meg looked at the group of skeletons that were annihilated in the Holy Light, and couldn't help but sigh. If it wasn't for the fact that there were too few magic casters, would he need to use Ninth Uncle's unique skill?
However, they soon sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching in this direction.
"Let's go!"
Meg grabbed Irina's waist, and landed on Ah Zi's back. A golden teleportation portal lit up from the mountain peak at the side. Ah Zi dived into the portal, and disappeared without a trace.
After a breath, a huge figure appeared in the sky above the canyon. It let out a sharp roar as it looked at the skeletons that were more than half slaughtered.
…
Meg and the rest appeared 25 kilometers away. The purple-striped griffin quickly rose into the air, and flew south as fast as it could.
"Where did you learn those strange methods?" Irina looked at Meg curiously as if it was the first time she had met him.
In her memory, he believed in the sword in his hand, and never relied on external objects.
However, today, Meg had shown a series of strange things that had a miraculous effect on the skeletons.
"I once read a book that recorded some methods to deal with zombies and undead. I used to think it was a joke, but after trying it today, I realized that it was really effective," Meg said with a smile.
