Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 613 - 420: Guardian Bronze Bell, Treasure-Class Banshee_2
This characteristic was undoubtedly a significant leap in combat power for the Undead Army summoned by Fang Zhou, greatly enhancing their effectiveness on the front lines.
Fang Zhou then turned his gaze to the second item.
Compared to the dazzling Guardian Bronze Bell, this item was evidently much less impressive. Whether in terms of versatility or actual effect, it appeared quite ordinary.
[Miniature Bear Monster Totem] (White Common, Marvel): Exclusive to Druid-series professions, it harnesses the power of the Bear Monster and represents friendship from the forest. The totem seals the Black Iron-rank skill [Summon Bear Monster] (3/3). It automatically restores all uses daily and can be charged once in advance by spending Mana.
[Summon Bear Monster]: Summons one Bear Monster to serve you for 10 minutes, with a chance to summon an Elite Bear Monster.
Fang Zhou briefly introduced the effects of these two items to the cadets from Sea City Military Academy, leaving everyone amazed and impressed.
Now, they finally understood why the Fallen Bear Monsters here were so much more troublesome than ordinary ones.
The buff from the Guardian Bronze Bell had significantly boosted the Defense Power and combat strength of these Bear Monsters, making them far exceed the level of ordinary ones.
However, despite their astonishment, they did not show much desire for the two treasures.
After all, the Military Merit from simply killing the Fallen Bear Monsters, along with the various demon materials they had acquired, was already more than enough to make their efforts worthwhile. They wouldn’t dare ask for any more on top of that.
Fang Zhou thought for a moment and handed the Miniature Bear Monster Totem to Liu Diewu.
"You’re the only Druid Professional here, so this Marvel is for you. With a summoned Bear Monster for protection, you’ll be safer in future battles."
Although Fang Zhou and his Undead Army were the absolute main force in every battle, the other members of the Calamity Squad also gave their all and played their own crucial roles. This was especially true for Liu Diewu. As Fang Zhou’s research assistant, she not only provided valuable support in battle but also performed extensive technical support and strategic analysis behind the scenes. Naturally, Fang Zhou wouldn’t mistreat his own people.
As for the Guardian Bronze Bell, Fang Zhou naturally accepted it without any hesitation.
A few dozen seconds later, a cheer went up. The Thief cadet responsible for lockpicking had pulled a large, glittering pile of Magic Stones from the Treasure Box.
Fang Zhou took a quick glance and a look of surprise appeared on his face. Judging by the quantity, these Magic Stones were worth at least several thousand contribution points combined.
The fact that this small Treasure Box could hold so many Magic Stones proved it was not just a spatial storage Marvel, but one with a remarkable capacity.
Fang Zhou’s personal storage space was already quite large, so he had little need for it. For the ordinary cadets of the Gale Squad, however, Space Equipment was an incredibly coveted and almost unattainable asset.
After a quick inspection to ensure no other treasures had been missed, Fang Zhou decided to distribute the Treasure Box and the thousands of Magic Stones within it among everyone.
Instantly, everyone was beaming with joy. It wasn’t just about the tangible, material gains. More importantly, they had been able to team up with and get acquainted with a rising powerhouse like Fang Zhou.
This is a huge win! It pays to be content. An insatiable person is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
A few minutes later, after the battlefield was cleaned up, Hong Yang led the Gale Squad away. After the fierce battle, they were not in good condition and urgently needed to rest and recuperate. They lacked the strength to continue exploring for the rest of the day.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhou and his Calamity Squad rested for a while in the forest to recover.
After all, Fang Zhou still had to return to negotiate with Eagle Mother Destiny and her Harpy tribe. He needed to be in peak condition to maintain a certain level of deterrence.
In the Era of Myth, no matter what race one faced, might always made right.
At the same time, Fang Zhou had the Undead Army scour the entire Fallen Forest, which led to a new discovery. In one part of the forest, they found a Star Dew Flower Field that covered several acres.
This was a strategic resource suitable for flying creatures. Long-term consumption could effectively enhance their flight capabilities. This flower field held little value for Fang Zhou and the other cadets from Sea City Military Academy, but for the Harpies, it was priceless.
After all, Harpies were fundamentally avian creatures, and consuming these flowers would naturally benefit their species’ growth, development, and continuation. This was likely one of the main reasons Eagle Mother Destiny wanted Fang Zhou and his team to eliminate the Bear Monsters.
Standing at the edge of the flower field, Fang Zhou carefully observed the faintly glowing blossoms, his mind already running calculations.
If I clear the surrounding trees, this place could become a rather nice base for the Harpies. However, to me and my Flower Elf allies, the Harpies are undeniably outsiders. If they want to put down roots in the Forest of Nature, they must understand the hierarchy, and I must keep the Harpy tribe’s power firmly in my grasp. Now that I’ve finally found an opportunity, I’d be a fool not to take a huge bite out of them!
Continuing the search, Fang Zhou found a slightly filthy and dilapidated tree hollow. Its value was evidently much higher, for it was a Natural Array capable of converting Bear Monsters!
Fang Zhou considered for a moment before ultimately deciding against occupying it. After all, it was still a bit too far from the Flower Elves’ sphere of influence. Those weak natural creatures could only huddle together for warmth, guarding their own small camp. They wouldn’t be able to expand their sphere of influence this far anytime soon.
Moreover, if this ownerless array were to be occupied by some evil, Magic Power-wielding Demon, it could potentially be used as a tool to create even more Fallen Bear Monsters.
To avoid such trouble, Fang Zhou decided to simply plunder it, dismantling it into a ruin to scavenge for any useful resources.
Besides, if I don’t end up fighting the Eagle Mother, I might even be able to sell the wreckage to her as scrap. That would be a nice bonus. The Eagle’s Nest is only filled with fast but fragile Harpies. While these flying creatures are fast, their defenses are relatively weak. Eagle Mother Destiny would surely be interested in some tough, thick-skinned Bear Monsters, wouldn’t she?
At Fang Zhou’s command, the Undead Army immediately sprang into action. They began hacking and smashing, cleanly stripping the array of anything valuable. A few minutes later, the conversion array was in shambles, and in its place lay a pile of resources worth thousands of contribution points.
There were also some rare Natural Attribute resources, which greatly excited Liu Diewu and Zhang Wu. With Fang Zhou’s permission, the two Natural Attribute Professionals gathered up all these resources, making a hefty profit.
Now that the Fallen Bear Monsters were eliminated and the treasures acquired, the Calamity Squad was in good shape. No matter what choice the Eagle Mother made, they were fully prepared to respond.
Thus, Fang Zhou waved his hand and led the vast Undead Army back toward the Eagle’s Nest.
Sure enough, when Fang Zhou and his team returned to the Eagle’s Nest, Eagle Mother Destiny was unable to hide her shock at the sight of the hundreds-strong Undead Army.
After this blatant show of force, the cunning Eagle Mother’s attitude immediately became exceptionally respectful. She warmly welcomed Fang Zhou and the other members of the Calamity Squad into her treehouse.
Compared to their first encounter, Fang Zhou noticed there were new types of Harpies among the flock. Apart from some that were obviously larger and presumably stronger, there was also one female who looked almost entirely human, save for the wings on her back.
