Chapter 1038: Chapter 630: Battle Power Soars, [Undead Unit Treasure Book]! (Part 2)

"Now that I’ve seen you, I truly believe."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Fang Zhou, he shifted gears and said, "You played a crucial role in the last battle, and I’ve brought the reward I promised you from Tusk City.

"Here, it’s the Silver-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures: the Heart of the Nether River and the Flower of Soul Ash that you asked me for.

The quality is excellent; these are precious gems from my cache."

Fang Zhou’s Soul Fire flickered with a hint of delight in his heart.

After a long and fruitless search, he received these effortlessly.

Unexpectedly, Hecarim, this Terror Knight, turned out to be quite reliable.

He stepped forward and accepted the two Crystal Balls Hecarim handed over, inside which sealed the Heart of the Nether River and the Flower of Soul Ash that he fervently sought.

As Fang Zhou carefully examined these two Silver-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Hecarim casually mentioned, "By the way, Fang Zhou.

These treasures are rare, but for you, they should be somewhat useless.

On one hand, you’re already a Gold-level Undead, and these Silver-level resources won’t work for you.

On the other hand, the Heart of the Nether River and Flower of Soul Ash mainly enhance energy affinity and amplify magic power for caster Undead.

If I am not mistaken, you seem to lack any casting ability, right?

Why do you need these two treasures?"

Fang Zhou’s heart skipped a beat, realizing that indeed, it was as expected.

Undead of Glory Champion Level like Hecarim aren’t fools.

Their level of wisdom is no less than humans or demons of the same level.

Thus, it was somewhat abnormal for Fang Zhou, being a Gold-level Undead Creature, to be so interested in Silver-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

But Fang Zhou had already prepared a response.

He replied, "Lord Hecarim, I’m not a caster Undead, but I’ve nurtured some fairly promising caster Undead within my Lower Realm territory.

The two Silver-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures are prepared for them."

Hecarim nodded slightly, grinned, and said, "In that case, once they’ve absorbed these treasures, their strength will likely progress significantly.

You must summon them to the Blood War Furnace then; we in Tusk City are quite friendly towards caster Undead."

Fang Zhou seized this conversation point and engaged with Hecarim in a mild discussion about the growth of caster Undead.

Then he asked, "Lord Hecarim, although there are many caster Undead, for inherent superiority, Corpse Witch—naturally born caster Undead—are the strongest.

I wonder where I could find materials for them, so that my caster Undead could learn from them?"

Hecarim’s eyes gleamed, and he laughed, "For caster Undead, the most straightforward path is naturally to accumulate enough achievements and receive sufficient Blood Moon Blessing, then advance to a Corpse Witch.

If you’re like Fang Zhou, a potential-laden Mutated Undead, and don’t want to change your species, there’s another method.

And that is to study the Soldier Treasure Book of Corpse Witch."

Fang Zhou was slightly delighted and asked, "Soldier Treasure Book? What treasure is this?

I’ve never seen it in the trading market in Tusk City."

Hecarim laughed heartily and said, "Such valuable resources aren’t distributed in regular trading markets.

It’s a treasure only available among us Undead Rulers.

Apprentice-level Skeletons, Black Iron-level Zombies, Bronze-level Ghosts, Silver-level Vampires, Gold-level Corpse Witches.

These basic Undead units are the foundation of our Undead Realm and have remained unchanged throughout history.

Even the unparalleled achievements of Naraku Civilization in Undead studies have not changed this fact.

Have you ever wondered why?"

Fang Zhou shook his head; indeed, he had also contemplated this issue but could never find a clue.

Hecarim seemed intrigued and enthusiastically explained, "That’s because each basic Undead unit possesses its unique species talent, representing a portion of the core principles of our Undead Realm.

As long as the death laws of Undead Realm remain unchanged, the fundamental status of these Undead units won’t change.

Over the years, countless Undead Rulers have researched the seven major Undead units in ever-deeper detail, forming corresponding Soldier Treasure Books.

This special treasure circulates only among Undead Rulers, and only those blessed by the Blood Moon Will can genuinely absorb and master them.

These Soldier Treasure Books document the laws governing each foundational Undead unit from birth to growth to peak strength, along with various combat techniques and strengths and weaknesses.

For us Undead Rulers, this is the most important treasure and resource."

Fang Zhou understood Hecarim’s meaning, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "May I ask, Lord Hecarim. Do you have the Soldier Treasure Book for Corpse Witch?"

Hecarim’s Soul Fire flickered slightly; he shook his head and said, "The Gold-level Corpse Witch Soldier Treasure Book.

The Glory Champion-level Terror Knight Soldier Treasure Book.

And the legendary supreme Legendary King’s Crown-level Bone Dragon Soldier Treasure Book.

Only the powerful Full Moon Lords are entitled to possess these high-level Soldier Treasure Books.

I am keen on slaughtering demons not only out of deep-seated disgust but also to accumulate enough achievements to exchange for a Terror Knight Soldier Treasure Book with the Lord of Tusk City.

This could vastly improve my mastery of my species talent, potentially breaking a bottleneck and advancing to Legendary."

Fang Zhou thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the lowest-level Soldier Treasure Books for Skeletons and Zombies, do you have them? Can they be traded?"

Hecarim glanced at Fang Zhou, slightly puzzled, and said, "Of course I have these lower-level Soldier Treasure Books.

In fact, once you advance to an Undead Ruler and are willing to exchange vast resources, your lord will grant you these two Soldier Treasure Books.

But what do you want them for?

I see that even the weakest Undead units under you are Bronze-level; you shouldn’t have much need for Apprentice-level Skeletons and Black Iron-level Zombies, right?"

Fang Zhou felt a bit excited upon hearing Hecarim’s affirmative response.

For high-tier Undead like Hecarim, Skeleton and Zombie Soldier Treasure Books indeed offer no individual strength enhancement.

But for Fang Zhou, it’s entirely different.

The Undead Race he created in the Tomb already merges the species talents of Skeletons, Zombies, Ghosts, and Vampires, the four foundational Undead units.

This means that any benefit or enhancement for these four foundational Undead units can likewise be shared by Fang Zhou and his Tomb Undead.

Previously, talents like Skeletal Armaments of the Skeleton Race and Corrosive Poison Incarnation of the Zombie Race acquired by Fang Zhou were derived from small fragments of Undead Realm like Corpse Hill and Wasteland of Strife.

Compared to the complete Undead rules in massive fragments such as Blood War Furnace, they certainly fall short.

If the Soldier Treasure Books for Skeletons, Zombies, Ghosts, and Vampires could be obtained, it would mean an unparalleled increase in both individual power and the power of the Tomb for Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou realized that this could be the greatest enhancement he’s received since being transmitted to the Blood War Furnace.

Determined, yet unaffected on the surface, Fang Zhou said, "Lord Hecarim, as you know, as a Lord of the Lower Realm, I’ve done some research on Skeletons and Zombies.

If you have the Soldier Treasure Books for Skeletons, Zombies, Ghosts, and Vampires, I am willing to trade with you to perfect my research."

Hecarim shook his head, teasingly saying, "Fang Zhou, the Blood Moon Merchant Trist has already informed me about your background.

As a newcomer to the Blood War Furnace, your assets are pitifully few.

Aside from the combat power of you and your Undead, I fear there’s nothing else for me to trade with."

Calmly, Fang Zhou said, "As you mentioned earlier, these basic Undead Soldier Treasure Books aren’t of significant use to me.

I simply desire them out of pure research interest."
