The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 1343: Chapter 973, Lord of Dreams_2

But the skeleton related to this technology is still there, making an old-style animated film shouldn’t be too difficult.

The Lady’s mood also stabilized.

Wu Heng said, "Let’s go! Let’s see if the location has been sent over, so we can upgrade the Lady."

The Three Ghosts drilled into the body, and the Lady finally reacted and also went inside.

The four ghosts returned, and Wu Heng opened the boundary door and went in.

...

Monitoring Room.

Releasing the ghosts, Wu Heng glanced at his phone.

The four ghosts floated on either shoulder, also watching.

"Respect a bit of personal privacy." Wu Heng said.

"We’ve seen it all; what privacy is there?" Glenda said casually at the side.

Two locations were sent over on the phone.

"The locations are sent over, let’s go directly, and finish early." Wu Heng casually grabbed a coat to put on.

Leaving the monitoring room, he got into the business car in the garage.

After adjusting the navigation for the skeleton, the vehicle started directly and left the rain of arrows.

The vehicle was driving along the road.

The Lady’s expression was still puzzled, "Where are we going for the upgrade? You won’t put me in a place thick with necromancy, right!"

Xiao Xiao, sitting next to her, said, "Going to kill zombies for the upgrade!"

"Zombies? Undead creatures?" The Lady still didn’t understand.

When they took her to the Shang Dynasty ruins before, they passed through places that had been cleared, and she hadn’t seen any zombies.

Hearing this now, it felt a bit strange.

Xiao Xiao explained, "They are creatures infected by a virus that turns into monsters that eat people, that’s how I accidentally died."

The Lady glanced at Xiao Xiao, with some pity in her eyes, but didn’t say more.

On Xiao Xiao’s side, there were no wrong emotions, tirelessly imparting knowledge of this world to her.

And the great things Wu Heng and they had done.

With Xiao Xiao’s lively conversation, it wasn’t boring on the way.

Approaching the location on the map, the road began to become congested and difficult to navigate, so Wu Heng switched to the flying carpet to continue.

From a distance, they saw dense, swaying zombies.

"Are those zombies?" The Lady floated beside, her eyes wide open.

The number of wandering zombies in the distance seemed to exceed the population of several cities, too many.

Then she reacted and said, "Are you sure they’re not the Necromancer’s carrion? I see no difference."

Wu Heng said, "What Necromancer has the ability to convert the entire world into carrion? Here we call it a gene virus, which is different from real death."

"So terrifying, what happened to this world that it became like this." The Lady marveled.

Glenda and Bella also marveled the first time they saw such a scene.

Especially Glenda, the streets of an entire city were packed with zombies.

The scene was much more shocking than now.

By this time, it was already dark, Wu Heng absorbed the Blood Clan genes and had night vision ability, the ghosts’ sight was also unaffected by darkness.

Reaching the edge of the zombie group, he put away the flying carpet and descended from the sky, opening the Mansion Skill, Skeleton Shanshan, Corn Sword Saint, and Count Pizza.

Count Pizza is the name after the Blood Clan hero was transformed into a skeleton.

Also named by Xiao Xiao!

On one rooftop, Xiao Xiao hung the Soul Capturing Jade on the top.

The light of the laser flashlight passed through the jade, forming a large array below.

Wu Heng commanded, "Shanshan, go lead the zombies into the array, Sword Saint and Count, you kill the zombies."

Swoosh~!

Shanshan turned into a stream of light and shot out, then brought the zombie horde into the array.

The Corn Sword Saint condensed sword qi, shooting out like a rainbow, Count Pizza flew through the air, countless blood-colored flying knives covered downward from the sky.

Zombies were falling in waves like wheat being harvested.

Remnant souls flew up to the sky.

The Lady’s eyes widened, watching the sky filled with floating remnant souls.

So this is what upgrading meant.

"Go on, the skeleton’s killing speed is quite fast, you shouldn’t delay either." Wu Heng said.

The Lady snapped out of it, turning into a stream of light and dashed out.

Started consuming the souls, Wu Heng walked into the Mansion Skill to wait, while Xiao Xiao, Glenda, and three ghosts floated by, chatting.

After a few waves of zombies, the system notification sounded.

[Ghost level increased to Level 17, Intelligence +1, Perception +1, Charm +2.]

Wu Heng took a glance outside.

The upgrade had no big effect, the rest was to devour ghosts, and to see if there was the Unfinished Wish at Level 18.

...

Lundham City, City Lord’s Mansion.

The lights were bright, and Wen Mansha wrapped her fur coat tightly as she sat before the radio.

Outside the window, the wind and snow howled, making the voice inside the radio even clearer.

"The Third Corps of the Yeko Kingdom is maneuvering along the Black Pine Forest path, and the Fifth Cavalry is suspected to be disguised as a merchant convoy." The voice of the radio butler, Hartel, paused slightly before continuing, "It is estimated that several more corps are attempting to maneuver to the rear of the fortress."

Wen Mansha rubbed her temples, "How is your safety?"

"Thank you for your concern, madam." Hartel’s voice carried a bit of static, "Assassination attempts have indeed increased these days, thanks to you and the master for arranging the skeleton attendants."

Wen Mansha glanced at the map beside the table, which showed the cities occupied by both sides in red and black.

The team equipped with firearms and high-level skeletons also gave her side’s army an advantage.

However, even though the Yeko Kingdom wasn’t as strong as before, it still had considerable strength.

They constantly changed tactics, stubbornly holding back the team’s advance and giving the Yeko Kingdom a chance to breathe.

And of the Level 20 skeletons sent, only one was arranged on the main battlefield, with the rest responsible for protecting several important figures.

"Deploy a squad to block their scattered units." Wen Mansha said, looking at the map, "The main force, continue to advance."

"Madam, there are many clerics in their ranks, and also special items and tools specifically to deal with necromancy," Hartel added again.

Wen Mansha furrowed her brows slightly, "It’s not surprising that the Holy Court is involved; the effect of the special items is limited. Find an opportunity to first eliminate the targets holding these items with firearms."

"Alright! I’ll find a way." Hartel continued: "Then I won’t disturb your rest."

"Mm!"

After hanging up the communication, Wen Mansha walked towards the bedroom, glancing at her sleeping daughter in the nursery as she passed by.

She affectionately kissed her on the forehead and then returned to her room to rest.

...

Three days later, in the afternoon.

The roars of zombies echoed throughout the entire area, as Sword Qi and blood-red flying knives harvested the incoming zombies.

This was already the second area being cleared.

When Wu Heng arrived, the skeletons had already cut through about one-third of the distance.

Lady Daji moved continuously through the drifting remnant souls, devouring all the souls.

[Ghost level increased to Level 20, Constitution +1, Agility +2, Intelligence +3, Perception +4, Charm +5.]

[Unlock trait: Legendary Heroic Spirit.]

[Unlock traits: Legendary Invisibility, Legendary Telekinesis Control, Legendary Possession.]

[Unlock ability: Lord of Dreams.]

Hearing the prompt, Wu Heng was delighted.

Finally reached Level 20.

He remembered upgrading Xiao Xiao and Glenda took a long time when devouring ghosts, even though the kill speed is fast now, it still took quite a while.

Wu Heng still felt fairly successful, especially since he didn’t encounter [Unfinished Wish] at Level 18.

He was really worried that the image of Daji from movies would become Lady Daji’s new obsession.

Fortunately, that didn’t happen.

Wu Heng focused his attention on the newly unlocked ability [Lord of Dreams].

[Lord of Dreams]: Can forcibly pull targets into a special dream world, with real effects.

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.

This skill reminded him of a story he once saw in short videos, seemingly called "The Tale of Three Dreams."

It was about a protagonist who fell in love and married a woman in a dream, later finding out she was actually a ghost.

He later killed her enemy in the dream, only to wake up and find that the enemy was truly dead in real life as well.

This really aligns quite well with the skill at hand.

Overall, the fact that his fourth ghost reached Level 20 is a good thing.

Not far off, Lady Daji flew back with excitement in her voice, "Wu Heng, I’m Level 20, I’ve finally reached Level 20."

"Mm, congratulations!" Wu Heng said with a smile.

"Auntie! We’re all Level 20, it’s not that exciting," Xiao Xiao said from the side.

Lady Daji’s demeanor improved significantly, "Yes, Xiao Xiao is awesome!"

Wu Heng walked to the battle zone, releasing ’Bone Prison’ to trap the remaining remnant souls to devour each other, and once a ghost formed, he collected it into the Demon Soul Pot for later use.

Afterward, the skeletons cleaned the battlefield and collected Corpse Cores.

After the battlefield was cleaned, they began to return.

...

Upon returning to the prison, Wu Heng did not linger long and returned to the Gold and Silver Island.

Coming down from the upstairs, Mini approached, "Master, the association sent two letters."

Two?

I’ve become this popular?

Wu Heng tore open the first letter, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Sword of Justice - Hada Lai.

The current Association Leader’s manager, why would he write to me?
