The Ingenious Use of a Game Instance

Taking out a Targeted Summoning Scroll, Lin Xu activated the Spirit Lamp Prayer Art with a thought. As one Incense Fire Heaven Silver was consumed, a grand will from the darkness cast a glance at him.

A tremor ran through him—an instinctive reaction to the face of a great will. He steadied Spirit Calming and made his wish. "To maximize the effect of this scroll!"

"Buzz~"

His heart skipped a beat as he "saw" a power quietly enveloping the scroll. In the flickering light, he instinctively chose to use it.

As 10 gold coins were consumed, 5 new corpse-driving masters materialized from the void.

Without stopping, while the great will was still present, Lin Xu unhesitatingly took out another Incense Fire Heaven Silver and activated the Spirit Lamp Prayer Art once more.

One by one, the summoning scrolls were consumed under the blessing of the Spirit Realm's will. As the last scroll turned to ashes, the great will slowly faded, and the number of corpse-driving craftsmen surrounding Lin Xu increased by 25.

"5 scrolls, 25 people." Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief, looking with satisfaction at the newly appeared group of corpse-driving craftsmen.

Including prisoners captured from the territory and recruits, there were a total of 31 people.

Indeed, the Spirit Lamp Prayer Art can influence such probabilistic events.

Name: Zhao San Race: Human Occupation: Reed Carver Level: 1 Strength: 6

Agility: 8

Physical condition: 6

Spirit: 10

Intelligence: 8

Charisma:5

Life: 48

Mana: 100

Skills: Profound Yin Corpse Refinement Art (Beginner), Basic Talisman Arts Drawing (Beginner)

Equipment: Soul-Stealing Bell, Corpse-Driving Whip Evaluation: Unorthodox practitioners. As expected, these corpse-driving craftsmen summoned by the summoning scrolls are all at the lowest professional level, with the most basic skills, and their attribute panels are almost appalling.

Add to that the summoning cost of 10 Spirit Gold, and a normal person would practically lose their shirt.

"Fortunately, corpse drivers don't rely on magic for a living~" Lin Xu shook his head as he looked at the appalling attribute panel.

As time went by, the cave was gradually transformed by the Heavenly Artisan Yaoguai.

At one of the narrow ends of the cave, two spirit-patterned sentry posts stand on the left and right, with more than a dozen archers and Daoist priests positioned on high ground to look down upon the cave.

Spiritweave Outposts are defensive structures that come with the dungeon. They can provide early warning of enemy attacks and strengthen friendly combat units stationed at the outposts.

"It's time~" Lin Xu no longer hesitated and picked up the scroll to use it.

"Buzz~"

An invisible force swept across, and a phantom cave was projected before them.

Zombie Mine, a classic map from the old game "Legendary".

Lin Xu made a slight adjustment, placing the mine entrance at one of the narrow ends of the cave, which was conveniently within firing range of two spirit-patterned sentry posts about twenty meters away, one on the left and one on the right.

"Summon!" He clicked "OK," and the power of the Spirit Realm surged, materializing a deep, dark mine that replaced the hard rock layers.

A few minutes later, the flickering light in the mine quickly dissipated, and the instance map had been fully materialized.

"Men, follow me!" The Black Tiger Demon waved his hand, and the demon soldiers filed in, entering the dark Zombie Cave.

There was no light in the dark cave, but fortunately, neither the demon soldiers nor Lin Xu needed any light.

Upon entering the mine, Lin Xu was greeted by a cavern covering approximately a thousand square meters. The ground was littered with rusty and rotten sleepers and rails, the walls were riddled with chisel marks, discarded and corroded tools were scattered about, and the emaciated remains of miners were all signs of an ominous atmosphere surrounding the mine.

The Tiger Sha Demon Soldiers who had entered the cave quickly dispersed, disturbing the deathly silence of the cavern.

"Shh~"

A slight scraping sound rang out, Lin Xu looked in the direction of the sound to see a disgusting, fat worm nearly a meter long crawling along the ground.

Its gray skin and wriggling, hideous appearance are nothing compared to its foul stench, which makes one want to vomit at the sight of it.

Yin Corpse Maggots are mutated insects formed under the influence of corpse energy. They can spew out a foul-smelling, corrosive yin energy that is extremely effective at harming living things.

"Whoosh~"

A lynx flashed by, its spirit-patterned scimitar slicing through the air and easily tearing the maggot's fat body apart.

The Yin Corpse Maggot struggled a few times before collapsing to the ground, green liquid flowing from its wounds and emitting a foul stench.

Lin Xu frowned and glanced at it. It was just a level 0 monster, which even a farmer with a pitchfork could kill. However, the stench was particularly disgusting in this confined space.

With a thought, an invisible wind dispelled the stench. He looked at the spacious cave and ordered the Heavenly Artisan Yaoguai waiting behind him, "Begin."

Two Heavenly Craftsman Rabbit Demons stood at the cave entrance, their bodies throbbing and their feet stomping on the ground.

With the fluctuations of magical power, the hard rock on the ground was slowly shaped into a floor tile that shimmered with a faint spiritual light, connecting it to the underground city cave.

Once the two spirit-patterned floor tiles were completed, more Heavenly Artisan Yaoguai joined the construction, and the tiles quickly took shape, extending the lord's authority into the cave.

Lin Xu carefully sensed the Bond between his territory and the Zombie Mine. After summoning the mine, he felt that the Bond between his territory and the mine was gradually weakening.

However, this weakening rate is now gradually decreasing, clearly due to the appearance of the spirit-patterned floor tiles, which are continuously increasing the Bond the territory and this mine.

In theory, sending soldiers to explore mines, mine, fight monsters, and any other action can increase the territory's Bond.

However, in practice, maintaining an army stationed in the mines for an extended period is a tremendous waste.

In contrast, paving with spirit-patterned tiles is much simpler. As long as enough tiles are laid and the Bond level is kept rising, this dungeon mine can be permanently kept on the territory.

"Even a single Shitou in the Spirit Realm has value, let alone such a massive mine?" Lin Xu was filled with joy at the thought of the future output of this enormous mine.

Once a mineral vein in the Spirit Realm is mined, the lord needs to expend Source Fire to repair it in order to regenerate it; otherwise, it will be left as a worthless mine pit, just like in the real world.

However, this Zombie Mine is different. It refreshes every seven days, and the zombie monsters in the cave and the mined veins will also be restored.

For other lords, the greatest value of this mine lies in the three class-specific inherited skills dropped by the zombies, but for him, everything in this mine is valuable.

"Except for this maggot~"

Lin Xu frowned, glanced at the maggot corpses, and then swept his gaze across the hall.

"Aww~"

A low growl came, and a rabbit demon that was about to step on the paving stones trembled. After a short scream, it turned into a gust of wind and fled away from the zombies.

A emaciated, ragged zombie staggered out.

"Go! Grab it!" The black tiger demon waved his hand, and two fully armed tiger demons stepped forward, picked up a bundle of black iron chains, and circled the zombie twice.

Clang~

With a metallic clang, the miner zombie was bound and thrown to the ground, struggling and howling in vain.

Lin Xu watched as a corpse-driver stepped forward, and he picked up the Soul-Stealing Bell at his waist and shook it.
