"Spirit Gold!" exclaimed Fang Yang in delight .
Fang Yang quickly brought out 2 pickaxes from his space bag and handed one to the skeleton and the other to the corpse puppet.
As for why he didn't take up a pickaxe himself?
He was a dignified necromancer!
How could he work when he had some capable unpaid workers underneath him?
The two undead creatures didn't complain about Fang Yang's instructions and quickly started mining away at the node.
5 minutes later, 3 small lumps of spirit gold had been mined and laid out before him.
Looking at the slightly brownish gold in front of him, Fang Yang smiled.
All three pieces of spirit gold were low-quality spirit gold
A pound of low-quality spirit gold was worth 1 spirit stone, and with the three pieces in front of him, Fang Yang had earned 3 spirit stones just like that.
But just as Fang Yang was celebrating his new find, an unpleasant sound entered his ears
"Squeak! Squeak!"
Quickly looking around, Fang Yang soon saw the origin of the sound."
It was an ugly giant rat, its size was even bigger than that of a house cat.
The dirty brown-gold fur was covered in dirt as its red eyes stared at the pieces of spirit gold in Fang Yang's hand with an unconcealed greed!
"Gold-eating rat!"
The second Fang Yang saw the creature, his senses went on high alert but he soon relaxed after realising it was just this one rat that appeared.
But the gold eating rat wasn't some stupid beast.
Seeing the three figures of Fang Yang and his undead creatures, it realised it was outnumbered and instead of making a move right away, it stayed a few feet away from them, constantly letting off an unpleasant squeal.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
Fang Yang wasn't stupid, so he quickly realised what it was trying to do.
Knowing that it was outnumbered, the gold-eating rat was calling for its companions to come to its location for some extra help. But now that Fang Yang knew this, how could he possibly just stay still and let it happen?
With a simple thought, the green flames in the eyes of the skeleton flared up as it silently charged towards the gold-eating rat!
But the gold-eating rat wasn't just any old creature.
As a demonic beast, its ferocity and brutality were without question, so when it saw the daunting figure of the skeleton soldier charging towards it, it didn't back down but instead met it head on!
"Bang!"
The skeleton's giant bone sabre came crashing down, but the rat just was too agile, easily dodging the strike, causing a giant knife mark to be left behind in its last location.
But after dodging the strike, the gold-eating rat wasn't done yet. A high-pitched squeak escaped its mouth as it jumped up biting down hard on the collarbone of the skeleton.
"Clang!"
An unsettling sound rang out through the mine as the skeleton's hard bones clashed with the protruding incisors of the gold-eating rat.
If the rat was facing a living opponent, then its strike would have been deadly.
It would have easily punctured a major artery, causing the victim to suffer severe bleeding if not causing them to outright die on the spot!
Unfortunately, the gold eating rat was facing its bad match up, an undead creature
When the gold eating rat bit down on the skeleton's collar bone, there was no change in the unfeeling eyes. Instead of removing the rat, its giant bone hand held it in place on its collar bone to make sure it couldn't display its agility to dodge its strikes again.
With that, the skeleton plunged its bone sabre straight through the gold-eating rat, cutting it half!
Now stained in blood, the burning eyes of the skeleton turned towards Fang Yang, silently awaiting its next order.
As Fang Yang watched the skeleton's performance, he couldn't hide his satisfaction. But as he was about to go up to the rat's corpse, he quickly noticed something strange.
Suddenly, a familiar green light shot out of the body of the dead rat straight into Fang Yang's body.
Realising this had something to do with his system, Fang Yang quickly opened up his status panel
Name: Fang Yang
Class : Necromancer
Level: 1 (1/2)
Mana: 1
Skills: Summon Skeleton - Mana cost: 1
If Fang Yang's guess of his system being awakened by absorbing Zheng Li's soul
The change in his system had to do with his class level.
There was now a display saying (1/2)
If he could absorb one more soul, then his level should increase.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
Just as he was thinking this, the loud squeals of a gold-eating rat sounded a few metres ahead of him.
But instead of being annoyed, a wide smile appeared on his face.
'What perfect timing.' Thought Fang Yang.
This time, he didn't instruct his undead creatures to deal with it.
He had spent hours practising the Flying Swallow Knife Art, so he may as well put it into practice.
Looking at the ugly rat glaring at him, Fang Yang's eyes narrowed.
With a wave of his arm, 3 silver lights shot out of his sleeve.
The second it saw those lights, the instinct of the gold-eating rat screamed so without thinking it jumped straight to the right.
And it was just in time as right after the gold-eating rat moved, a fierce silver light passed by.
But the gold-eating rat couldn't rest just yet as the silver knife that had been flying overhead suddenly changed direction and shot straight down towards the rat!
The Gold-eating rat squealed helplessly as it dived once again, but it wasn't fast enough allowing the knife to leave a deep cut in its side .
"Squeak!"
After being helplessly attacked from a distance, the Gold-eating rat became completely enraged!
It knew that it couldn't stay still and do nothing or else it would be killed.
