Chapter 213: Chapter 213: The Severely Underestimated Gathering Spirit Tower

In the span of three days, although the Blue Sand Kingdom had hired enough Skeleton Flying Dragons, they did not deploy them immediately.

It seemed that this time, they truly intended to fight this battle earnestly, otherwise they would have been sent to the battlefield right away. The longer the delay, the greater their motives appeared to be.

Meanwhile, for Fang Jie, the Gathering Spirit Tower was finally completed today.

The moment the over ten meters tall black tower was constructed, the entire atmosphere changed.

At the very top of the tower, a faint glow flickered, like a beacon in the night. But this beacon did not bring a warm feeling, instead, it made one feel a chill to the bone.

The entire territory seemed as if a cold wind had begun to blow across it.

Gradually, Fang Jie noticed that a gray mist had formed at the top of the tower. The mist grew larger and its range more extensive, gradually spreading outwards and soon enveloping the entire city area.

The mist continued to spread until it covered a vast area, nearly darkening the sky.

If the clouds were not slightly translucent, it would look just as if it were night. But even now, it seemed similar to an overcast day, with the whole territory appearing lifeless.

No, it wasn’t merely figurative—the air was literally filled with death energy, something Fang Jie, as an Undead Mage, could feel.

He discovered that under such conditions, his absorption rate of magic power increased, and consequently, his cultivation speed was also enhanced. Presumably, his future cultivation pace would also accelerate considerably.

"This must be the Death Spirit Sky," Fang Jie mused, looking outside, "similar to the Death Sky but its effects aren’t very significant."

He added, "Thankfully, those crop fields are all Functional Buildings. If they were normal fields and it was overcast all the time, most plants would likely not grow well."

Having checked and found that the crop fields were unaffected, Fang Jie felt relieved.

Afterwards, Fang Jie began to experiment with his Undead Creatures, and with each test, his surprise grew.

Originally, he thought the Death Spirit Sky would only slightly fortify the strength of his Undead Creatures, considering that most undead battles occurred at night; Fang Jie saw no issue in that.

However, he soon felt something was amiss, as this augmentation was far stronger than he had anticipated.

Though these were just basic enhancements, the Skeletons under the Death Spirit Sky moved more nimbly, and their overall strength had increased significantly—the combat power of Apprentice Level Undead Creatures had doubled.

With such combat capabilities, even if faced with enemies who had just entered Black Iron Level, they could hold their ground for a while.

On a large-scale battlefield, this would allow them to frenziedly slaughter enemies at the Black Iron Level. If he had this Death Spirit Sky previously, the losses would not have been so great.

Furthermore, under this sky’s influence, the recuperation rate of these Undead had also significantly improved.

Fang Jie then turned to a nearby Skeleton Hero and asked, "Have you finished the calculations? What is the result?"

The Skeleton Hero promptly replied, "It’s done. Our side here can generate over ten million spirit points in a day. But we need more long-term tests to be certain."

This was only a rough estimate, but Fang Jie was nevertheless astonished—it represented a significant daily income.

Although his income would be higher in a large war, wars weren’t a constant occurrence. The animals bred for war also needed time to grow before they could be harvested, but this tower generated resources daily.

The key point was, he wasn’t limited to creating just one.

"I understand now, the Gathering Spirit Tower has been seriously underestimated. If they knew its true function, they definitely wouldn’t have just handed it over to me like this." Initially, Fang Jie was somewhat confused, but now he understood.

The tower was a special, yet only silver-grade, Functional Building. Generally speaking, its effects weren’t evident unless it was at least gold-grade. Silver blueprints were common in the market, but gold ones were not.

Just from what was described in the blueprint, even his own Undead Camp hadn’t considered it.

This Gathering Spirit Tower likely functioned according to the environment. The more suitable the environment, the stronger its effect.

He suspected that even now, in their battlefield area, the Gathering Spirit Tower had not yet unleashed its full power.

Unfortunately, only one Gathering Spirit Tower could function in a specific area; having more would be pointless, as their effects would just overlap. Fang Jie had just realized this was the limit.

But even so, the power it could unleash was extremely formidable.

Especially in places that needed constant defense, building one could not only generate substantial income but also significantly enhance the combat power of the Undead. If this structure was built in the desert, the Blue Sand Kingdom would struggle to affect them.

The Blue Sand Kingdom had always been scheming against the undead in the desert.

They hadn’t acted only because they hadn’t fully grasped the situation.

Such a device that could significantly enhance an enemy’s strength was something they would never relinquish. Fang Jie didn’t believe that this was the only architectural blueprint suitable for the Undead that they possessed.

It must be because they thought this was the least effective that they had let it go.

This time, he had truly stumbled upon a great find, and it had even been willingly given to him by the enemy.

"Blue Sand Kingdom, truly benevolent," Fang Jie exclaimed involuntarily.

"Calculate the control range within our territory for those battlefield areas, and build one there. Once constructed, hide the Death Spirit Sky and only activate it when needed."

Fang Jie had just tested that the Death Spirit Sky could be hidden—it could shrink to a small mass, concentrated at the top of the Gathering Spirit Tower.

However, this method reduced the bonusing effects on the Undead. It wasn’t completely null, but it was almost similar.

But this contraction would not affect the daily spirit point income. Therefore, he might as well keep it retracted. When needed for battle, it could be swiftly expanded, which could also have a surprise effect.

Most importantly, Fang Jie was a human himself; he didn’t dislike the sun as the Undead did.

The Skeleton Hero quickly nodded and went off to analyze.

"The investment might be substantial, but the daily income can almost make up for the spirit points. Let’s start by constructing a few Gathering Spirit Towers on large battlefields and then expand to smaller battlefield areas. We will never run short of spirit points in the future."

These past days, being short on spirit points had made Fang Jie feel quite restrained.

When you need money is when you realize you don’t have enough—Fang Jie was deeply experiencing this saying now, having now found himself in such a situation before.
