When the white light faded, a majestic Falcon with sharp eyes and glinting claws appeared before Mu Yuan.
It let out a bright, high-pitched cry.
Full of joy and excitement, it spread its wings and took flight, circling high above the territory.
"This skill..."
Mu Yuan had not expected much from whatever skill the Falcon might learn.
For flying bird troops, the initial skills were nothing more than "Tear," "Dive," "Peck," "Flyby," and the like. They were not weak, but Mu Yuan's positioning for the Falcon was as a scout. Having one more or one less combat troop made no difference at all.
The skill he had wanted most before this was "Flyby," an auxiliary acceleration skill. If the Falcon possessed it... it would be able to escape more nimbly at critical moments.
But now—
"Shared Vision? If I'm not mistaken, this skill is..."
Mu Yuan quickly switched to the Tai Xuan Forum and searched for related information.
Soon, several examples related to Shared Vision popped up.
"Baishui Domain's famous Ranger Player 'Thunder' has a Royal Griffin in his Royal Griffin squad that awakened the Shared Vision skill."
Royal Griffin was a rare Three-Star Troop.
"The rare Three-Star Troop Silver Pegasus has a chance of awakening the Shared Vision skill."
"There have been cases of the rare Two-Star Troop Night Elf Hunter awakening Shared Vision."
"The Excellent One Star troop Dragonhawk has a chance of possessing this skill."
And even among these high-star troops, only a tiny fraction had a chance of awakening this skill.
"This is an extremely rare skill."
"Its effects may be even stronger than I expected. Not only can it constantly share the vision transmitted back by the troop, but through Shared Vision, the player can also perform some simple control over that troop."
Control and sharing were both crucial.
The former allowed him to change his commands in time according to different circumstances, while the latter allowed him to observe the enemy from afar with great clarity, without needing to communicate with the troop in bird language.
This was a divine scouting skill!
If an experienced player possessed a troop with Shared Vision, they would become a treasured guest in any team or merchant guild.
If a lord player possessed one, they would also treat it as a treasure and use it with the utmost caution.
"I never expected my evolved Falcon to learn this skill. And according to the usual pattern... there's a high chance that the Falcons I evolve in the future will also possess Shared Vision. That's fantastic."
"I need to buy more Falcon Remnant Souls."
He had actually considered this before, but had not been in such a hurry.
For one thing, the Falcon had not evolved yet. For another, he had wanted to see whether there was a more suitable and cheaper one-star flying troop than the Falcon.
Now that he thought about it, the decision was made. It was you, Falcon.
"Although the Falcon is only a one-star troop, its price is much higher than that of Little Skeletons, Goblins, and the like... It might cost as much as two, or even two and a half, of them."
That was not a problem.
Mu Yuan was, after all, a lord earning two hundred Soul Sand and ten Remnant Souls a day. He could certainly afford a few one-star Remnant Souls. It was just that...
"Precisely because Falcons have some value and can be used as scouts, there aren't that many Falcon Remnant Souls circulating on the market. I didn't find any Falcon Remnant Souls during either of my last two trips to Baijiang City's market. I'm afraid I can only buy them at a premium through the Tai Xuan Forum. At the very least, I need to gather enough to produce several Falcons."
"The problem is that we're still in the beginner preparation period, and all the Whale Players are fighting to buy them. Damn it!"
His financial resources could not compare with those of the Whale Players, which was understandable.
But his time and energy could not compare with theirs either.
After all, every top Whale Player had a sizable team behind them. Some people handled logistics, some handled strategic planning, and some watched the forum's Trading Area around the clock, buying up the resources they needed.
Some Whale Players even went directly to the supply channels. Batch after batch of high-value Remnant Souls were ordered and bought before they had even been listed on the market.
There was nothing Mu Yuan could do. He could not compete with them.
He was merely an ordinary person. All he could do was rely on his own persistence and effort to invest in and improve his troops.
The Falcon had just evolved and still could not use its skill completely.
Mu Yuan could not experience Shared Vision for the time being. Thinking that he should help the Falcon realize its value as soon as possible, he fed it some Abundant Fruit and had Deathbone supervise and urge it to master the skill sooner.
Although the Falcon was a bird and Deathbone was a skeleton, Mu Yuan figured that it would not be difficult for the Undead Bone Emperor.
The Undead Bone Emperor was currently cultivating.
It was the territory's great general. With extraordinary talent and self-awareness, its self-improvement was far faster than that of dull and foolish ordinary troops.
It was a true Trump Card.
A fake Trump Card: comprehend skills, improve skills, and effortlessly crush high-level monsters with a low-level body.
A true Trump Card: abandon all work and devote itself to absorbing Soul Sand and cultivating, striving to break through to the first-stage Professional Grade as soon as possible.
That was how the Whale Players arranged things for their Trump Cards.
Professional Grade was a very important threshold. A troop's combat power underwent a tremendous change after reaching it.
Mu Yuan had originally wanted to do the same.
He wanted to lead the team out himself, leaving Deathbone in the territory to cultivate and improve, so that it could break through as soon as possible.
But Deathbone was unwilling.
The outside world was too dangerous. Bone Two and Bone Three had yet to grasp the essence of caution. How could he rely on them to protect the lord? Deathbone was absolutely unwilling to take that risk.
It was too dangerous! No! Absolutely not!
Without the Undead Bone General, Mu Yuan did feel just a tiny bit lacking in security. He therefore gave up on the idea and decided to wait until he had evolved a second and third Skeleton Warrior.
Time gradually passed, and the daylight of the Eternal World also faded from the distant horizon.
"I spent half a day less grinding today, and I also failed to conquer a monster gathering point like the Goblin Camp. My gains are a little lower than yesterday. I only earned 116 Soul Sand and two Remnant Souls."
"But the good news is..."
The Undead Bone Emperor had already reached Level 5 of Zero Rank by noon, despite having wasted quite a bit of time on several outings.
For a special individual like Deathbone, which possessed self-awareness and had been nurtured with plenty of materials, leveling up was merely an insignificant part of its self-improvement.
It was training, digesting treasures, and breaking through.
"Drink!"
Deathbone gripped the two-meter-long greatsword with both hands and dragged it as it walked into the distance.
It moved faster and faster, going from walking to running, then to sprinting.
The ground boomed repeatedly, as if it were trembling.
As it ran, wisps of black mist gradually rose from the greatsword in Deathbone's hands. The black mist grew denser and denser, weaving together to form a pitch-black sword glow that covered the greatsword.
As it charged forward, the black sword glow grew increasingly dense, stretching longer inch by inch!
Two meters! Two and a half meters! Three meters!
Deathbone was like a war chariot. It charged toward a several-meter-high rock, slightly raised its greatsword, and swept it out with tremendous force.
Rumble—!
The hard, enormous rock shattered completely under this single Cleave, like a tofu-built structure.
Rocks rolled and fragments flew, like a tornado tearing apart a parking lot. The area on the edge of the ruined village was instantly reduced to chaos.
Great Slime Duolai: "Gugu o(Д)っ!"
It hid in the distance, trembling all over.
It had actually wanted to beg food from that iron can earlier. How had it dared to do that?!
Looking at the wrecked field before it, Deathbone fell silent, appearing somewhat dissatisfied.
Was the power of Charge plus Cleave enough?
It was enough, but...
This reckless fighting style was simply too risky. That would not do!
But those were the only two skills it had.
As expected, being a warrior was a Bottom-Tier Profession that lacked caution!
