"You've discovered an undead ruin. Do you wish to explore it?"
Lin Xiao turned around. A clear light unfolded in front of him, and words appeared on it.
Looking up, he saw a thick fog formed by the death aura surging back and forth at the edge of the city wall. Indistinct spirits could be seen in the fog, but none of them dared to cross the city wall. He didn't know if they couldn't come out or if they didn't dare to.
"This is going to be fun. I've become a commander without an army!"
More than a hundred of his subordinates had all died inside. He didn't even have a single one of his subordinates to explore.
There were too many spirits inside. Even a hero wouldn't be able to handle all of them.
Moreover, there was a big boss inside that might be even stronger than him. He was only able to escape earlier because the boss hadn't fully awakened. If he dared to enter now, he would be courting death.
Looking up at the starry sky, there was a red moon in the middle. However, there was a blue moon and a normal white moon on the left and right of the sky, and their orbits were also different.
The moonlight shone on the ground, allowing people to see things, but it couldn't allow them to see the lush wilderness outside the city.
This city ruin had been abandoned for who knew how long. Plants and creatures couldn't survive inside the city due to the death aura. However, it was different outside the city. It was currently surrounded by a lush forest. If he wanted to leave, he would have to pass through this lush forest.
To be honest, passing through the forest in the middle of the night in this dangerous Wanxiang Ruins world was quite risky.
However, it wasn't advisable to stay here forever. Who knew if the undead really couldn't come out? If the boss in the ruins completely awakened and came out, wouldn't he be doomed?
Therefore, Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and decided to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
He looked back at this dangerous birthplace and made a mental note of it. When he was stronger in the future, he could explore it again. He then left the ruins without looking back and entered the lush forest.
Not long after he entered the forest and disappeared, the powerful will in the center of the city ruin finally fully awakened. A thick blue pillar of light shot up from the center of the city, and a faint roar could be heard. The thick fog that had been lingering at the edge of the city suddenly expanded with the roar. It extended for hundreds of meters in one breath and only stopped when it reached the edge of the forest.
In the forest, Lin Xiao randomly picked a direction and ran all the way. His speed was comparable to that of a level-6 transcendent. Ordinary beasts simply couldn't react in time.
There didn't seem to be any powerful ferocious beasts in this forest. Most of them were just ordinary beasts. At first, he was quite worried, but later on, he didn't encounter any danger, so he was a little relieved.
He didn't know how far he had run in one breath, but he felt that he was far enough away from the ruins of the city. In addition, he hadn't encountered any danger in the forest, so he slowed down slightly.
Not long after, he found a tree that was dozens of meters tall. His heart skipped a beat, and he approached it. He kicked away an unknown beast that was entrenched under the tree, and climbed up the tree to stop temporarily.
It was already the latter half of the night. After resting on the tree for a few hours, the sky began to brighten.
When the sky was completely bright, he climbed to the top of the tree and looked around. When he looked back, he could no longer see the Undead Ruins. On the other side, there was a primitive forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. The trees were each taller than the last. In the depths of the forest, he saw several super ancient trees that were at least a few hundred meters tall.
"This …"
He had run in the wrong direction. The more he ran, the deeper he went into the forest. The other side of the city ruins was the way out of the forest.
This made people speechless.
He had no choice but to turn back.
Fortunately, he didn't run very far. Fortunately, he stopped to rest at night. If he had rushed all night, he would have been screwed.
He didn't go around the ruins on his way back. If he guessed correctly, the Undead hidden in the ruins wouldn't come out during the day. They would only come out at night.
Not long after, Lin Xiao returned to the ruins of the city. He found that the thick fog in the ruins had disappeared, and the ruins were filled with wandering Undead Skeletons.
"This …?
Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. He kicked a tree that was as thick as an arm, took out a stick, and rushed forward. He smashed a skeleton into pieces.
The Undead could respawn, so he immediately thought of a way to earn some points.
Other things aside, he had to earn 10,000 points to level up his Hero to level one and become an official Hero.
In this Vientiane Ruins world, Level Zero Heroes didn't have any functions. Whether it was Hero Strategy Spells, Nest Slots, Hero Talents, or Hero Storage Spaces, all of these functions could only be unlocked after leveling up.
This setting obviously meant that Level Zero Heroes were just Hero Apprentices and not official Heroes.
It was indeed very slow for a person to farm Undead, but he wasn't in a hurry now. Since they respawned every day, he could farm as many as he could. Normal Skeletons and Zombies were so weak. Considering the number of Undead in the ruins, as long as he didn't fight them head-on, they wouldn't be able to kill him.
Moreover, after he had farmed more than a hundred Skeletons, another card fragment dropped. He combined it with the three Skeleton Card fragments from before to form a complete Skeleton Card. He quickly summoned a hundred Skeletons, and his efficiency suddenly increased.
After spending about half a day, Lin Xiao cleared all the Undead in the ruins. He obtained a total of more than a thousand points, five Skeleton Card fragments, and another Skeleton Card.
He didn't idle for the rest of the day. He led his Skeleton Underlings to build a simple shelter outside the city walls at the edge of the ruins. He then led his underlings to investigate the ruins carefully.
He was also curious about where the Undead Spirits were hiding at night. Was there an underground city under the ruins? Or …
However, after finding a place to dig through the piles of rubble, he didn't find anything other than a large number of broken bones.
However, when night fell, as the fog slowly rose, he noticed that the broken bones suddenly changed. A faint Death Qi slowly seeped out from the bones, and a large number of Undead Spirits rose from the cracks of the rubble.
Lin Xiao quickly retreated outside the city. He coldly looked at the Undead Spirits trapped in the thick fog within the city walls, and the gradually awakening Death Will.
He wanted to see what the Death Will was. Was it a powerful Undead Spirit, or some other Undead Spirit?
However, the moment the Death Will was completely awakened, the gray fog rapidly expanded, and the Undead Spirits that covered the sky and covered the earth immediately drowned him.
"Damn it!"
Lin Xiao rolled and crawled into the forest, and rushed into a patch of vines. He felt the cold Death Will staring at him from behind, and he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
His underlings …
They were all dead again.
Next, he obediently ran further away and built a nest in the forest to wait for dawn.
When he returned to the ruins on the second day, the ruins were indeed filled with Skeletons and Zombies. He took out another Skeleton Card, summoned a hundred Skeletons, and continued to kill monsters.
For the rest of the time, Lin Xiao obediently earned points. Every day, he would kill all the Undead in the ruins, and obediently lead his underlings away from the ruins into the forest. He wasn't interested in exploring at all.
He didn't know if the Undead in the ruins were a farming mechanism or replenished from somewhere else. Anyway, he killed so many every day, and the same number of Undead would respawn every day.
On the twelfth day, he finally collected ten thousand points to upgrade his summoning core. Then, he added ten thousand gold and a hundred wood and ores, and chose to upgrade his hero core to level one.
"Your hero core has been upgraded to level one. Strategic attribute + 1. Population limit increased to 1000. Nest slots unlocked. You now have three. Unlocking Hero Talent. Unlocking Hero Ranking. Unlocking Strength Ranking."
"Scanning Hero Talent …"
"Checking the strength of the real body. You have the following Hero Talent options. Please make your choice within 60 seconds. Random selection will occur after 60 seconds."
"One: Murloc King. You can upgrade any Murloc troop class to a level three Murloc troop class. For every level you increase in Hero Level, all attributes of the Murloc troop class you command will increase by 1."
"Two: Gnome King. You can upgrade any Gnome troop class to a level three intelligent Gnome troop class. You can also use rare resources and gems to upgrade intelligent Gnomes or Elite Gnomes to a level five intelligent Gnome Mage. For every level you increase in Hero Level, all attributes of the Gnome troop class you command will increase by 1."
"Three: King of Naga. You can use a certain amount of rare resources and gems to upgrade any humanoid Elite troop class that is level four and above to a level six Asura Naga. For every level you increase in Hero Level, all attributes of the Asura Naga troop class you command will increase by 2."
"Four: Creator, the troop class you command will gain + 200% battle experience, -50% resource cost for upgrading, and + 100% command limit. You can command a mix of troop classes without lowering morale or causing any negative status effects."
"Five: Lord of Truth. For every level you increase in Hero Level, all attributes of the troop class you command will increase by 1. Combat experience of the troop class you command will increase by 100%. You can use a large amount of resources to upgrade Elite troop class and above to Hero Level. The weaker the Elite troop class is, the greater the resource cost."
"This …"
This Hero Talent was quite amazing.
They were all extensions of the power system that he had mastered. The Murloc, Intelligent Gnomes, Asura Naga, the Law of Creation, the Law of Truth, and the Gray Dwarf might not have been added in because they were not adjusted enough.
He could only choose one out of the five. Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.
However, after some serious consideration, he realized that he had no choice but to choose the Lord of Truth talent.
The reason was simple. He was now preparing to condense the Priesthood of Truth, so all his actions had to serve this purpose. This trip to the Vientiane Ruins was very important to his growth, so he had to focus on the Priesthood of Truth, even if the others seemed stronger.
"Lord of Truth!"
With a thought, four of the five talents were hidden. Only the Lord of Truth talent was left glowing brighter and brighter. Soon, it turned into a ball of golden light and merged into his body. Lin Xiao instantly felt … the changes in his subordinates.
The remaining 40 or so skeletons all had their vitality, strength, and agility increased by one point under the enhancement of the talent.
With the skeletons' strength increasing by one point, the increase was quite significant.
Moreover, he took out all the Skeleton Card fragments from the Twelve Heavenly Blocks. There were a total of 33 pieces. If he could combine them into eight complete pieces, he would have 800 skeletons in total. He summoned them all at once.
A total of 841 skeletons. It was quite a number.
