As the number of skeleton warriors increased,
Lu Yuan's levelling efficiency also increased.
After all, wild skeletons only react instinctively and do not fight in groups.
Under his control,
The Calamity Skeletons outnumbered their enemies and hunted around using their numerical advantage.
All Lu Yuan had to do was wait for the final blow to collect a large amount of Soul Fire.
The size of the Calamity Legion was also growing rapidly.
Ten people.
A hundred people.
In just half a day,
Lu Yuan had risen to the rank of a second-tier skeleton warrior and acquired a skeleton legion of five hundred!
[Reversing Destiny: By striving to become stronger, you changed the tragic fate of almost being devoured by your kind.].
[Reward: 5000 simulation points!]
[Main plot progress: 1%]
[Stay Duration: 60 years].
[Other rewards will be settled after the simulation ends!].
"With the increase in the level of the reincarnation world, does the duration of stay also increase?"
Lu Yuan pondered.
But that was normal.
The lower the level of the world of reincarnation, the weaker the will of the world, and the more it rejects the presence of the simulators.
It desperately wants the simulators to leave.
The stronger the will of the world, the greater the tolerance for the simulators.
Like the will of the worlds in advanced fantasy worlds.
They often treat the world as a chessboard and the beings as pawns.
Before this almost omniscient and omnipotent being,
Even a powerful seventh-tier Sealed King Giant cannot cause much trouble.
In the days that followed, Lu Yuan continued to increase the speed of the hunt.
But as the number of undead grew,
He was beginning to feel some pressure.
According to Lu Yuan's estimation,
With his current soul power, he could only control up to a thousand Calamity Servants at most.
And only within a radius of two hundred metres.
If the number exceeded that limit and range, his control over the Calamity Legion would be greatly diminished.
After all, normal skeletons are inherently weak and have low limits.
If he could become a necromancer or a dark sorcerer,
His soul power would definitely skyrocket!
"Ordinary skeletons are just cannon fodder, no matter how many there are, they are useless."
"Well, I should increase their levels."
Lu Yuan thought to himself.
Then he ordered the Skeleton Legion to hunt freely in the wilderness.
Cultivate in Necromancy,
The weak can only be cannon fodder.
Only the strong can survive in the end!
Though once killed, the Servants of Calamity will die completely,
But under the blessing of the Undead Calamity.
Lu Yuan was able to continually replenish his forces, greatly reducing the Legion's casualties.
Half a month later,
Lu Yuan was promoted to a third-tier skeleton warrior, capable of controlling up to three thousand Calamity Servants.
His range was also extended to a radius of one thousand metres!
And the Skeleton Legion under his command already numbered two thousand.
These were all second-tier skeleton warriors, and there were over a hundred third-tier skeleton swordsmen and heavy skeleton knights!
But the price was
The hill had already been cleared by Lu Yuan!
Normally, this place was crowded with over ten thousand roaming skeletons.
But now it was deserted, with no one in sight.
"I should explore other areas and also find a way to become a mage."
The blood-coloured Soul Fire flickered in Lu Yuan's empty eye sockets.
Follow his command,
The Skeleton Legion left the desolate Bone Hills and headed towards other areas.
After travelling for half a day, they finally came upon a forest.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Several green goblins surrounded a huge boar feast.
Lu Yuan had no good feelings towards these small, ugly green creatures.
"Kill!"
With a thought,
Several skeletal swordsmen turned into a blur.
Before these goblins could call for help, they fell into a pool of blood.
Then,
A hexagram formation appeared,
transforming all those goblin corpses into servants of misfortune.
However, when they entered the forest and saw the ground stained red with blood,
Lu Yuan began to feel uneasy.
Throughout the forest,
There were corpses of various monsters - boars, trolls, land dragons, goblins...
Some of these monsters had strong vitality.
Even when their blood was drained, they still had a last breath and did not die immediately.
Seeing this scene,
The blood-coloured soul fire in Lu Yuan's eye sockets flickered slightly.
Everything in front of him gave him a sense of familiarity.
Draining blood, tormenting souls.
This was exactly the method of this Fifth Tier Dark Alchemist!
This Dark Alchemist was nearby!
Upon realising this,
Lu Yuan immediately ordered the Skeleton Legion to stay put and forbid any noise.
In the script of life.
He had been enslaved by this Dark Alchemist for seven years.
And now, at the beginning of the simulation, he did not want to make the same mistake again.
Even though Lu Yuan was now a third-tier skeleton warrior,
In the eyes of the fifth-level Dark Alchemist, he was merely a stronger ant.
"Retreat!"
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Now was not the time to confront this Dark Alchemist head on.
Lu Yuan did not hesitate.
He immediately led the Skeleton Legion out of the forest.
Before he left,
Lu Yuan saw the creatures barely clinging to life and felt reluctant.
For with one final blow,
He could turn them into powerful servants of disaster!
Seeking riches in danger.
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and made a decision.
He ordered the Skeleton Legion to retreat to a safe area one kilometre away, then sent out all the Skeleton Swordsmen.
The skeleton swordsmen were agile and fast.
This way,
Even if the Dark Alchemist was alerted,
Lu Yuan could still escape unscathed.
At most, he would lose a few skeleton swordsmen.
"You killed a boar king and got a third-tier servant!"
"You have killed a troll and gained a third-level minion!"
"You have killed a giant spider and received a third-level minion!"
...
A series of messages came in, much to Lu Yuan's delight.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
It proved that his decision was the right one.
"You have killed an earth dragon and gained a fourth-level servant!"
"You have killed a Troll King and received a fourth-level minion!"
"You have killed an Abyssal Spider and obtained a fourth-level servant!"
...
Before he could celebrate,
Lu Yuan suddenly felt dizzy and his head throbbed as if it would explode.
With a crack,
A crack opened in his skull.
After a while,
Lu Yuan barely regained consciousness from the throbbing headache and dizziness.
"Is it because the level of the servant is too high that my soul cannot bear it?"
Lu Yuan guessed the reason.
The skeleton warrior was just a brute with a not very strong soul.
If he wanted to control more disaster minions,
He would have to quickly become a skeleton mage or find a way to strengthen his soul.
"Reversing Destiny: By killing a troll king, you have reversed the fate of being trampled to death.
"Reward: 20,000 simulation points!
"Rating upgraded to D Rank!
"Main plot progress: 2%!"
"Duration of stay: 60 years"
Before, Lu Yuan could be happy,
He suddenly realised that dozens of skeletal swordsmen had lost contact with him.
"They fled!"
"That Dark Alchemist found us!"
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly climbed onto the back of a skeletal boar and, along with the entire Legion of Doom, rushed towards the desolate Bone Hills.
After several hours,
Lu Yuan stopped.
After some investigation,
He finally confirmed that the Dark Alchemist was not following them.
But at that moment,
A giant Abyssal Spider hanging behind the legion suddenly collapsed.
The long hours of running had caused a wound in its abdomen to burst open.
Over a thousand fist-sized spider eggs fell to the ground, creating a scene that sent shivers down the spine.
The next second,
Hundreds of baby spiders hatched, fighting and devouring each other.
Only one black and white patterned spider stood dumbfounded, looking confused.
But not for long,
The other baby spiders became bloodthirsty.
The closest ones pounced on him like hungry wolves.
They bit off several of his spider legs, chewed hastily a few times and then swallowed them.
In the face of death,
This spider had no choice but to reluctantly join the fighting crowd.
This sudden turn of events took Lu Yuan by surprise.
The other skeleton warriors raised their swords and tried to kill all the spider hatchlings.
But Lu Yuan stopped them.
He wanted to see who would survive in the end.
