Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 31: War of the Undead
On the seventeenth day of the operation of "Tianxia", the system finally released news that a player named Supreme Honor was the first to successfully advance to the second-level profession. At this time, my qualification value had just reached 87%. You know, I received a 20% qualification value reward from the system, and I have been working hard and have never been lazy. Is that guy a human being? He was able to get so much ahead of me.
According to Xue Wuxia and the others' guess, this person who received this supreme honor must have received some kind of seniority reward from the system, and he was an expert among experts, otherwise it would not have been possible to achieve it so quickly. Xue Wuxia's speed was not slow, but his seniority value had only reached 92%.
There was a rumor that the highest honor might be given to a player from the Western Continent, which immediately aroused the anger of the entire Eastern Continent, and once again set off a wave of monster-killing crazes. The mountains and plains were full of crazy leveling teams, and good tasks were given priority to players who were about to be promoted. Everyone worked together, and finally at the end of the day, news came that the player Long Xing Tian Xia had successfully promoted to the second-level profession, finally saving some face for the Eastern Continent. Long Xing Tian Xia, isn't this the name I applied for? But it was used by such a person, and I am convinced of my defeat.
A Feng and Xiao La Jiao all felt sorry for me. As the first job changer in Tian Xia, I had the best chance of advancing to the second-level job. If it was Xue Wu Xia and the others, I would definitely not get the highest honor. My first place was based on luck, but their first place was based on their level. I felt a little ashamed. Such a good opportunity should not be wasted by a rookie like me! But can I be blamed for this? I have worked very hard and worked hard to reach this level. Do you think it is easy for me?
Encouraged and urged by Little Chili and the others, I put all my energy into the endless work of leveling up, treating it as my top priority at the moment. I stopped wasting time in the "Dead Space" capturing skeleton warriors. Although it was safe, my qualifications were not increasing fast enough. I began to launch a crazy killing in the "Dead Space", sweeping away all the skeleton creatures I saw. Due to the existence of space barriers, I couldn't do this in the human world, but in the "Dead Space", I could maximize the power of the soul contract and command all the undead brothers.
With the collective attack of more than 2,000 skeleton warriors, the usually peaceful skeleton group fell into complete chaos. Such an indiscriminate attack violated the biggest taboo of the undead world and provoked a war between the undead. The threatened skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers began to spontaneously organize themselves to fight against my undead army, no longer a state of each cleaning up the snow in front of their own door and not caring about the frost on other people's roofs. This is also a setting of the system. Otherwise, the undead army would be outnumbered and defeated one by one. Wouldn't the seniority value snowball like crazy? Who in the world can be a rival?
Despite this, under the unexpected and powerful attack of my Undead Legion, I still destroyed a large number of skeletons, and my qualification value quickly reached 94%. Then began a war of attrition and a head-on fight. More than 2,000 skeleton warriors may seem a lot, but in this world of the undead, they are like a drop in the bucket and are nothing at all. Under the attack of skeletons that are dozens of times larger than mine, the battle was defeated step by step and soon became one-sided, which made me feel distressed. These were my little brothers who I had surrendered one by one with my own hard work, and they were the result of my blood and sweat!
No wonder the Code of the Undead Wizard states that launching an undead war to eliminate enemies stronger than me can quickly increase my qualifications, but the consequences are also extremely serious, which will lead to the unity of the undead creatures I attack around me , and they will unite to launch a counterattack against me, so I can't use them easily. My goodness, looking at the dense groups of skeletons that appeared out of nowhere, they definitely wanted to drown me in the vast ocean of people's war. It seems that my behavior has aroused public indignation and made me the public enemy of the skeletons.
The skeletons who had always endured my bullying rioted. The overwhelming momentum gave me a huge shock. Although I was mentally prepared, my estimation of the situation was seriously underestimated. This was too exaggerated. There was no way to fight this battle. Isn't this forcing us to fight one against a hundred?
I can't delay any longer. I have to break out, or I will be caught in one swoop. As long as I can survive, I will have a chance to make a comeback soon. If I die in the "Dead Space", I can afford the loss of my 5%, Taotao's 3%, and 8% of their mental strength.
Fortunately, I had already chosen a retreat route and commanded the remaining brothers to charge forward. The elite skeleton warrior brigade that I carefully selected gathered around me, heavily protecting Taotao and me, and covering us as we began to break out.
Inspired by my great spirit, the skeleton brothers fought bravely one after another, and finally fought their way out of a bloody path, surrounding me and fleeing in panic. Skeleton warriors who kept falling behind were torn to pieces by the pursuing army. I saw it with my own eyes and felt the pain in my heart, but I dared not stop at all and desperately used the "Ride Away from the Dust" to escape forward. It was such a wise decision to choose thief as my second profession, otherwise I would not be sure to get rid of these crazy skeletons.
My mental strength has been almost depleted, and I am no longer able to use the "Ride Away from the Dust" move. Taotao is also exhausted. No matter how I summon him, he just lies on the ground motionless, gasping for breath with his skeleton horse mouth open. I fled here in a desperate situation. I was finally able to escape from the pursuing skeleton army, otherwise I would not be able to run anymore. Judging from their posture, they will not leave me alive as a prisoner.
He nodded at the listless skeletons scattered around, feeling sad. After this short and fierce battle, there were only less than a hundred of the more than 2,000 skeleton warriors left. The hard work of more than ten days was gone. This was too cruel. However, after looking at the seniority value, his mood finally improved a little. It had reached 99%. The huge sacrifice finally got the due reward. If he worked harder, he would be able to advance soon.
When I recovered my strength, the riot of the skeletons gradually subsided, and the skeleton territory returned to its former dead silence. The skeletons who were just angry became dull again, and they had no idea who I was. It was as if the fierce battle just now had not happened, and they were still sleepwalking aimlessly. I carefully let my skeleton brothers spread out around me, and then as usual, a dozen particularly strong skeleton warriors rushed up and held a skeleton warrior hostage to make it unable to move, so that I could take action. As long as the conflict between the undead was controlled within a certain range, the undead war would not be triggered.
Thanks to my efforts, the 1% difference in seniority value was finally filled up when I was about to be resurrected. The day of my resurrection will be the day for me to be promoted. But I don’t know if I will be so lucky to reach the Forest of the Dead safely. Others will be promoted to the corresponding guilds in various cities, but I have to fight my way into the danger-ridden Ten Thousand Mountains. How unfair is the way of heaven to us undead wizards!
