"Attack the wolves first."
Gu Su frowned and thought seriously for a few seconds. Without any hesitation, he decisively made his decision.
Compared to the unknown and bizarre glowing vine building, the marsh wolf pack, not led by a wolf king, was obviously a safer target. It could provide experience and also serve as an opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the elite squad.
Most importantly, there were about twenty wolves here. Twenty corpses could be brought back as twenty skeletons, or sixty white crows.
This was the most important resource for a necromancer.
If he didn't hunt weak troops to gather corpses and accumulate undead before a battle, could he still be called a necromancer?
Therefore, Gu Su made his decision decisively.
Under Gu Su's command, except for two white crows left to lead the way, the rest of the white crows were dispatched again by Gu Su.
Scouting must not stop. He was currently extremely short of various supplies. Only by continuously expanding the exploration range could he gather the resources needed for the graveyard demon to upgrade and allow the territory to grow further.
After giving the orders, Gu Su, along with five elite skeletons and two magic-type skeletons, moved quickly towards the east of the graveyard demon.
With the white crows accurately leading the way, they avoided many messy obstacles and potential minor troubles along the way, and their progress was quite smooth.
The journey of about two kilometers took Gu Su and his group less than ten minutes without stopping, and they successfully reached their destination.
He quietly hid behind a dead tree and peeked from a distance. At a glance, he saw the group of strange rotten-skinned wolves lazily lying around the murky water puddles, resting.
Just as the white crows had reported, the skin of these wolves was extensively rotten. Under the peeling rotten skin, bright green muscles were exposed, and they emitted a faint smell of decay, looking particularly ferocious and terrifying.
Gu Su beckoned gently. The white crow that had first discovered the marsh wolves immediately flapped its bone wings and landed, obediently stopping on his shoulder. Its dark eye sockets stared in the direction of the water puddle, awaiting orders.
"You go and lure one over," Gu Su whispered his instructions, his tone firm and without any delay.
The white crow understood the command and immediately flapped its wings, flying out. The sound of its wings was very light, and it silently flew towards a rotten-skinned wolf that was dozing on the ground.
Although the white crow was a flying scout with no offensive capabilities, its impact force generated during flight as a physical undead was enough to serve as a lure.
Under Gu Su's gaze, the white crow suddenly swooped down and slammed into the head of a rotten-skinned wolf.
The rotten-skinned wolf was instantly awakened, let out a low growl, and its eyes flashed with ferocity. It immediately lunged at the white crow.
But the white crow was small and agile. With a slight turn in the air, it skillfully dodged the rotten-skinned wolf's pounce, then quickly flew towards the deadwood forest, deliberately slowing down to lure the rotten-skinned wolf into chasing.
The rotten-skinned wolf was enraged. Relying on its agility, it didn't even think about waking its companions. It just lowered its head and chased after the white crow alone, stepping step by step into the ambush Gu Su had prepared.
However, as soon as it rushed into the deadwood forest, two cold lights flashed.
Two elite skeletons, wielding spears made of angle iron, exerted their strength fiercely, thrusting the spears into the rotten-skinned wolf's body and firmly pinning its movements.
The rotten-skinned wolf writhed in pain and was about to open its mouth to roar and attract its companions when the large saber made of fan blades in another elite skeleton's hand fiercely chopped down. With a flash of cold light, its head was directly severed. Black-green blood splattered on the ground, and it instantly lost its breath.
[Skeleton (Summon) killed Marsh Wolf (Level 1), you gained 2 experience points, summoned creatures shared 4 experience points.]
The system prompt popped up in a timely manner. Gu Su glanced at it and finally knew the true name of this rotten-skinned wolf: Marsh Wolf.
At the same time, from its behavior of chasing alone and being unprepared, he realized that the intelligence of this marsh wolf was not high, and could even be considered quite low, which was convenient for them to defeat them one by one.
So Gu Su waved his hand, signaling for the subsequent actions to continue.
The five elite skeletons immediately advanced tacitly, quietly lurking on both sides of the forest.
The two leading white crows took turns to advance, repeatedly making tentative charges at the marsh wolves by the water puddle, luring them one by one into the deadwood forest, where they were then killed by the elite skeletons working together. The entire process was clean and efficient, without any delay.
Thus, when about the ninth marsh wolf was killed, the marsh wolf pack resting outside the small water puddle finally sensed something was wrong.
After all, nearly half of their companions had disappeared in such a short time. Even with their low intelligence, they vaguely felt danger, and their previously lazy posture instantly became vigilant.
So when one of the white crows swooped down again, intending to lure the next marsh wolf, it was no longer a single wolf that was lured, but the remaining thirteen marsh wolves.
They all let out low growls, their eyes red, and rushed towards the white crow together. Their dense figures instantly surged to the edge of the forest.
Seeing the entire pack of marsh wolves moving out together, Gu Su's eyes narrowed. Without any panic, he immediately gave a decisive order.
"Magic-users, prepare magic attacks!
Elite skeletons, advance and intercept, guard the forest, don't let them get close!"
The moment the order was given, Gu Su himself immediately took out the Plague Cutter, gripped his weapon, and prepared to join the battle at any time. His eyes sharply fixed on the charging marsh wolf pack, ready for battle.
The next second, the first few marsh wolves darted out from behind the trees, pouncing towards the lurking skeletons.
At this moment, two dazzling beams of light suddenly lit up.
One red and one blue, exceptionally striking.
The two magic-type skeletons simultaneously launched magic attacks. A fireball carrying a scorching aura and a lightning bolt wrapped in crackling electricity accurately hit the two marsh wolves at the front.
With two shrill roars, those two marsh wolves were instantly hit by the magic, their bodies were directly sent flying, and they fell heavily to the ground. After twitching a couple of times, they completely lost their breath, dead as could be.
Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, the elite skeletons immediately advanced tacitly, cooperating with each other. The weapons in their hands chopped and stabbed accurately. In the blink of an eye, they had jointly killed two more marsh wolves that were rushing at the front.
At the same time, they firmly guarded the front of the magic-type skeletons, buying precious time for the magic-type skeletons behind to cast spells again.
By this time, the two magic-type skeletons had also completed the preparation for their new spells. With another lift of their hands, two beams of red and blue light flew out, accurately hitting the marsh wolves rushing from behind.
This disrupted the attack rhythm of the marsh wolves.
