Chapter 418: Chapter 265: The Ability of the Legendary Witch Doctor_3

"Just not sure where this panda-human will resurrect..." Mu You thought.

Normally, monsters are resurrected near their nests or birthplaces after they die, but they might randomly resurrect if they’re too far from their place of birth.

Panda-humans are a race that wander the world, therefore, it’s impossible for their resurrection points to be inside this tomb. It was a pity, as it would be harder to find it after killing him.

While Mu You was pondering, a flash of white light surged from the tomb’s top and flowed to where the panda-human had just died.

Under the veil of the white light, the dead panda-human actually stood up again. All his injuries quickly healed completely, restoring him to full HP and magic power.

The four of them were all stunned.

"What the heck, cunning little devils! Even monsters can resurrect?" Lin Hai was the first to shout.

Mu You was also troubled. Do they have to endure another round of fighting? He couldn’t bear it mentally!

Moreover, according to the information from the Omniscient Crystal, panda-humans aren’t supposed to have the ability to resurrect. But the beam of resurrection light appeared to come from the tomb itself...

Could it be, the troll is still alive?

Mu You frowned and looked at the tomb in the distance.

The panda-human didn’t immediately return to the fight after resurrecting, but instead stared at the tomb in disbelieving astonishment, "Old friend, you..."

"Everyone, hold your fire!"

With the emergence of the aged voice, the soul shadow of an old troll emerged from the tomb and hovered before the tombstone.

This troll was skeletal and stooped, leaning on a skull cane. His body was adorned with numerous large and small skull decorations. He looked like an elderly man on his death bed.

Mu You watched the ghostlike figure, vaguely getting an idea.

This troll was indeed dead. What stood before them was merely residual soul energy, similar to the Captain Vieri he had met before, a leftover fragment of a spirit force remained due to some obsessions.

"Even in death, you did not lay to rest... old friend, even if it was a joke, you have fulfilled your promise; it is I who failed to keep mine..." the troll’s soul appeared and looked at the panda-human with a guilty expression.

"Voterra, so you were still alive after all! But why didn’t you show yourself all these years?" The panda-human was pleasantly surprised but puzzled upon seeing the troll.

The troll shook his head, "I’m long dead. I’m only awakened now due to the call of the sacred relic. This remaining fragment of my consciousness is all that’s left."

As he spoke, the troll looked at the Spirit Niche in Mu You’s hand and murmured, "A sacred relic... it’s no matter. It’s good enough as my final resting place..."

"The Spirit Niche is a sacred relic of our troll tribe. Long ago, during our tribe’s prosperous period, our ancestors considered it an honor to be buried inside the Spirit Niche..." The troll said, looking at Mu You.

"Young man, I can allow my ashes to be buried in the Spirit Niche. But you must agree to two conditions. Otherwise, even if you absorb my ashes, I will use my last strength to destroy the Spirit Niche!"

"What conditions?" Mu You asked.

"First, the power of the Spirit Niche must not be used against the troll tribe!"

Since the Spirit Niche was created by the trolls, it shouldn’t be used against them, which was quite reasonable.

He didn’t hold any grudge against the trolls. If he really needed to fight them, he could just use other means.

"Okay, what’s the second condition?" Mu You nodded and asked again.

"Second, my old friend has long held a wish to return to his birthplace. When I was young, I promised to help him find his homeland to make use of his power. He had devoted himself to helping the trolls fight on different fronts, but I didn’t keep my promise. This is my greatest regret. I hope you can fulfill my promise for me."

With the troll’s words, a prompt appeared in Mu You’s mind.

[You have triggered a special mission: Find the Lost Homeland of the Panda-Human]

[Mission content: Help panda-human Zhou You find his long-lost birthplace within one year.]

[Mission reward: Ashes of Monde Voterra.]

[Mission failure punishment: Destruction of Troll Spirit Niche.]

Mu You frowned, facing a decision.

Either he could abandon the ashes of the old troll, and pretend nothing had happened.

Or he could agree to its conditions, but would have to help the panda people find their homeland. If he couldn’t find it, the Spirit Niche would explode.

According to the troll, the panda people’s homeland was undoubtedly extremely difficult to find. The old troll had been searching for it for an entire lifetime and didn’t find it. Now they were asking him to find it within a year - wasn’t this making things difficult for him?

After hesitating for a while, Mu You finally decided to agree.

Primarily because the next year would be his golden period of growth, and the addition of this old troll would be a significant help. A year from now, he probably would not need the power of the Spirit Niche anymore. Even if he did not complete the task by then and the Niche were to indeed vanish, the loss to him wouldn’t be too great.

Moreover, by accepting this task, he would essentially establish a connection with the panda people, and in the future, he would have the opportunity to borrow the power of the pandas.

"Alright, I agree." Mu You looked at the troll and nodded his agreement.

Upon hearing this, the troll finally revealed a smile of relief, as if a burden had been lifted off its shoulders, and its soul quickly became blurry.

"Old friend, why go through all this trouble? Looking for ’home’ was just something said in passing, I don’t really care anymore," lamented the panda, as he watched the troll.

The troll looked at the panda and shook his head, "I should be the one saying that, my friend. You’ve done enough, it’s time for you to leave..."

As the troll’s voice grew weaker and weaker, it quickly disappeared from sight.

Mu You sighed, stepping forward to place the Spirit Niche on the grave.

The ancient Array quickly took shape, enveloping the grave, and began to absorb the energy from the remains.

It wasn’t until five minutes had passed that the absorption process was completed - it was almost the same amount of time it took to absorb the Troll War God.

After the absorption process was completed, indeed, a second golden skull lit up on the shell of the Spirit Niche. Amid the purple light radiating around the Niche, splashes of gold began to become increasingly apparent.

Looking at it with the Omniscient Crystal, the description of the Spirit Niche had indeed changed.

[Troll Spirit Niche: Inject magic power to summon two level 16 trolls, each existing for four hours...]

The level of the summoned trolls had increased from level 14 to 16, and the duration of their existence had been extended from one hour to four hours!

Mu You quickly picked up the Spirit Niche and attempted to summon a troll.

After only a few rolls, he was able to summon the recently absorbed Troll Witch Doctor, and coincidentally, the troll that appeared alongside it was none other than the Troll War God.

Mu You didn’t have time to observe the changes in the War God, instead, he first inspected the abilities of the Witch Doctor.

[Level 16 Legendary Witch Doctor: Attack power 20-30, HP 3200, Magic Power 9500, Abilities: Voodoo Recovery Technique, Curse Doll, Beast God’s Blessing, Beast God’s Gift.]

The attributes of the Level 16 Legendary Witch Doctor were truly pitiful and not worthy of his level.

However, after he looked at its four abilities, Mu You instantly understood why it was considered a Legendary Witch Doctor.

Of the four abilities, the Curse Doll need not be mentioned as it was exactly the same as the regular troll witch doctor. The Voodoo Recovery Technique was also capable of steadily healing nearby allies but the rate of healing was calculated as 2% of the target’s maximum health per second. This meant that standing nearby, it would only take 50 seconds to recover from empty health to full health.

This healing aura was already very powerful, especially for those with over ten thousand health points. It was equivalent to a few hundred points of recovery per second, which was far more practical than the normal Witch Doctor’s recovery.

However, that wasn’t the only thing; the next two abilities were the real reason it was rated as ’Legendary’.

[Beast God’s Blessing: Grants ’Magic Immunity’ to up to three beast race units within a hundred-meter radius.]

[Beast God’s Gift: Instantly resurrects a nearby beast race unit. Cooldown time 24 hours.]

Magic Immunity!

Resurrection!

After seeing these, Mu You finally understood why the panda could become magic immune. As it turns out, it was because of the state the troll had bestowed upon it.

However, both of these abilities had a significant limitation: they could only be used on beast race units. This was why after the panda had split into two, it no longer had magic immunity; because after splitting, the panda was no longer a beast but had become an Element Spirit, belonging to the elemental unit and thus could no longer enjoy the Witch Doctor’s buff.
