Different

Although she can only switch between two appearances, the core change of the White Bone Spirit is the switching between "human form" and "white bone".

In human form, further transformations can be achieved through other means...

Su Mu shook his head, putting the idea aside for the time being.

But... this "murder and arsonist's belt" is no joke; these items alone are worth at least 700,000 to 800,000.

However, Su Mu suppressed the restless urge within him.

He is a man with principles.

He continued to examine the materials the other person had dropped.

Some miscellaneous monster materials, such as undead bone fragments, corpse essence, and ghost dust, are not numerous and of average quality. They can probably be sold for a few thousand Alliance Coins in total.

But Su Mu frowned slightly as he looked at the materials.

It's too ordinary.

Did the person who used the Forced Battle Scroll on him carry these things?

Forced Battle Scrolls are worth millions, so someone who can use such a thing wouldn't only have a few thousand worth of ordinary materials. These materials seem more like props picked up casually to conceal their true purpose.

Their real target was the person being hunted down.

That person must possess something worth that price.

Su Mu carefully put away the materials, setting aside the ghost-type cards and the Thousand-Faced Skin separately.

He doesn't plan to sell these things; he'll need them later.

As for the person being hunted... he thought about it and decided to completely get the matter out of his mind.

The person who was hunted down by someone spending millions on Forced Battle Scrolls must be involved in something far more complex than it seems.

Behind it might be family feuds, conflicts of interest, or something deeper. Whatever it is, it's not something he should get involved in right now.

What he needs to do now is grind monsters, level up, accumulate resources, and upgrade his cards.

Lay a solid foundation for Journey to the West, piece by piece.

The second wave of monsters has emerged from the depths of the tombstones.

Su Mu looked up and glanced at the scene before refocusing his thoughts.

"Continue."

Little Drill Wind had already charged towards the third wave of monsters.

The third wave of skeletons jumped to level sixteen, and their numbers surged to over a hundred.

Grayish-white bone tides surged from the depths of the tombstone, densely packed together, bone knives and bone shields clashing and making a clicking sound, like a moving forest of bones.

Su Mu casually cast an Appraisal on the nearest one.

[Name: Buried Bones Skeleton Soldier]

[Rank: D]

[Level: 16]

[Blood: 11000/11000]

[Attack: 620]

[Defense: 380]

[Agility: 165]

[Combat Index: 5100]

[Skills: Bone Blade Slash, Undead Shell]

It's improved significantly since level 15, with over 10,000 HP and over 600 attack. In the outside world, this is approaching the level of some low-level elite monsters.

Although the number has increased, for Little Drill Wind, it is no different from the previous two waves.

It plunged headlong into the tide of bones, its short sword flashing.

Each strike landed precisely on the skeleton's spine or the junction of its skull, and with a single blow, the entire skeleton would crumble to the ground. Sometimes, a single sweeping strike would disintegrate three or four skeletons at the same time.

Bone dust flew everywhere, and shattered bones rained down.

More than a hundred skeleton soldiers couldn't hold out against Little Drill Wind for even a minute and a half.

The third wave resulted in total annihilation.

Su Mu's experience bar jumped up again.

Then a fourth wave surged out, more numerous and of a higher level, but it still posed no threat to Little Drill Wind.

It didn't even move much, just stood on the pile of broken bones between the tombstones, waiting for the skeletons to come up to it so it could be cleared away one by one.

When the fourth wave of cleansing was completed, Su Mu felt a warm power surging into his Soul Space.

[Level Up: 10 → 11]

[Soul Power +10]

After level 10, the experience required to level up does increase. However, the experience bonus from killing monsters of higher levels here, combined with the unique experience bonus from monsters in the lair, still makes leveling up much faster than grinding regular mobs outside.

Su Mu nodded in satisfaction.

But something else made him feel even better.

Debris was scattered all over the ground.

Skeletons in the Land of Buried Bones do not disappear immediately after being killed, unlike monsters outside.

Their bones will remain in place, forming a white, scattered pile of bones.

These bones, if in the hands of an ordinary dungeon runner, would need to be collected, taken out, and then processed into card materials by a crafting profession card maker before they could be used in dungeons. The whole process was time-consuming, laborious, and expensive.

But Su Mu doesn't need that.

Because I can use these things myself.

He only needs to use a very small amount of Soul Power to "fix" these remains into his own Dungeon Space within 24 hours, and they will automatically become part of the Lion Camel Ridge or the future Underworld scene.

Of course, he has no Soul Power now. He can only wait for it to recover on its own tonight.

Su Mu stood up, glanced at the wreckage scattered on the ground, and felt very relieved.

These things are low-value, ordinary materials in other people's hands, but in his hands, every bone is the cornerstone of building the Underworld in Journey to the West.

Thinking about it.

The fifth wave has arrived.

Su Mu originally thought it would be the same as the previous four waves, with Little Drill Wind rushing in to chop up vegetables while he picked up the bones from behind.

But this time, things have changed.

Among the skeletal figures emerging from the depths of the tombstone, there was one distinctly different figure.

It was a skeleton that was taller than a regular skeleton soldier, nearly three meters in height, with a thick skeleton, and each bone was twice as thick as a regular skeleton.

Its skull was adorned with a rusty iron helmet, broken chains were wrapped around its ribs, and it carried a massive bone battle axe. Rough runes were engraved on the axe's surface, faintly gleaming with a dark red light.

[Name: Skeleton Centurion (Elite)]

[Grade: C]

[Level: 17]

[Blood: 24000/24000]

[Attack: 980]

[Defense: 560]

[Agility: 185]

[Combat Index: 13200]

[Skills: Bone Axe Heavy Slash (Charged attack, deals 2.5x damage, has a chance to shatter the target's armor), Centurion's Command (Increases the attack power and movement speed of nearby skeletons by 15%), Bone Reassembly (When health is below 30%, absorbs the remains of three nearby skeletons to restore 25% health)]

Level 17 Elite.

It has 24,000 HP, nearly 1,000 attack, and 560 defense.

If left outside, this centurion could easily wipe out a level 15 dungeon raid squad.

But for Little Drill Wind, these attributes aren't much different from those of the regular skeletons.

The attack was so powerful that it couldn't even break through Little Drill Wind's defense.

That was what Su Mu originally thought.

The number of skeletons in the fifth wave surged to nearly 156.

The centurion stood at the rear of the skeleton horde, bone axe raised high, and let out a deep roar.

The sound echoed through the gray cemetery, and all the skeletons paused simultaneously, then, as if injected with some kind of command, changed their formation in unison.

A group of about seventy skeleton soldiers formed a dense battle line in front of Little Drill Wind, advancing with shields raised and adopting a defensive posture.

Meanwhile, another group, about eighty skeleton soldiers, including twenty skeleton archers, broke away from the main battlefield, bypassed the flanks, and moved quickly in another direction.

They were moving very fast, not like they were fighting, but rather carrying out some specific mission.

The direction they ran in.

It is Flower-Fruit Mountain.
