Soon, under the guidance of Catherine, the group arrived at an open-air mining quarry. From a distance, they could see a group of tattered skeleton miners working in the quarry, while a few strong skeleton soldiers, brandishing long swords and clad in armor, acted as guards around the perimeter.
"Only these few skeleton soldiers as guards?" Song Jian was somewhat surprised. He had assumed that a necromancer capable of transforming corpses into warriors would have many soldiers, and considered the quarry to be a relatively important resource surely heavily guarded.
"These are level ten skeleton soldiers, already capable of advancing to skeleton warriors!" Catherine rolled her eyes and said, "Besides, given the necromancer's notorious reputation, others would avoid him at all costs. Who would dare to provoke him? These skeleton soldiers are merely a message to others that this is the territory of the necromancer Karada. To encroach is to provoke a battle with him!"
