Novel Bin Chapter 37 - 37: 037 Second Elite Template Skeleton
Goblin Forest.
Watching the goblins turn their backs and run, not even thinking of having a go at a fight.
Dean McKenzie helplessly found that there was nowhere to use his summoned Skeleton Legion.
He couldn’t catch up with the fleeing goblins.
However, if left idle, the goblins wouldn’t dare to approach either.
If the Skeleton Legion reached a certain scale, Dean McKenzie could simply spread them out.
The problem was, there were at most a couple of hundred in the Skeleton Legion. It wouldn’t make much of a difference spreading them out.
Having no other choice, Dean McKenzie had to retract his Skeleton Legion in the same way he summoned them.
The hilarious part was,
Once he pulled back his Skeleton Legion, it didn’t take too long for the flock of fleeing goblins to swarm back towards Dean McKenzie again.
These opportunistic fellows seem to think that without the Skeleton Legion, Dean would be easy prey again.
“What shall I say about these chaps?
They are adorably stupid!”
Watching the encircling goblins, a gradually ferocious smile appeared on Dean’s face.
The Bone Shield arose, blocking the wooden spears raining down one after another.
He held his magic ready, waiting for them to come closer.
Only when they got close within 10 meters of Dean, did he finally strike back resolutely.
Along with the swing of his hand, Bone Fang slipped in. Doggy Two rushed forward to meet the goblin chief. The heavy sword in his hand swept across, breaking the Wolf Tooth Club of the goblin chief, and knocked him into a severe state.
With one blow, the goblin chief was heavily wounded, leaving the nearby goblins in astonishment.
Then, the situation turned around.
The deranged smile of the goblins was transferred to Dean’s face, as he began to reap the frantic escaping goblins.
Ten-something goblins, in under three minutes, all except the goblin chief were squashed to death.
[You used [talent] extraction on goblins, extracting o.i each of strength, agility and physique!]
For ten-something goblins, Dean expended about two to three hundred mana, and only extracted strength, agility, and physique – all three attributes. He didn’t extract spirit, which he wanted, at all.
Dean didn’t mind it and summoned Doggy Three.
“I can’t enhance myself, but I can enhance a fresh Doggy Three.
Otherwise, each time Doggy Two charges into the front, I’d have no sense of security without a protector!”
As Dean said this, he directly got into action.
[You spent five Silver Coins to activate [Doggy Three] enhancement!]
[You spent a Silver Coin and 300 Copper Coins to give Doggy Three 1.3 strength!]
[You spent a Silver Coin and 300 Copper Coins to give Doggy Three 1.3 agility! ]
[You spent a Silver Coin and 300 Copper Coins to give Doggy Three 1.3 physique!]
[You used the item [Fragile Skeleton Warrior Template], transitioning your wraith servant Doggy Three into a [Fragile Skeleton Warrior]; your wraith servant [Doggy Three] received an attack+1!]
Since Dean planned to use Doggy Three as a close-bodyguard, he didn’t follow the extremist improvement strategy.
Otherwise, it would be too extreme and unresponsive to emergencies.
Furthermore, Dean was improving Doggy Three inside the Land of Bone using the Gate of Bone.
Dean’s talent didn’t draw attention, but enhancement was different. So, he decided to improve Doggy Three inside the Land of Bone, which was relatively more concealed.
After finishing the first round of enhancement for Doggy Three, Dean casually threw the severely injured and dying goblin chief into the Land of Bone, and then continued to spawn the goblins.
Because there were far more goblin monsters and fewer people, Dean wasn’t worried about running out of monsters to fight.
He didn’t even need to go looking for them.
These goblins were all opportunists. As long as they saw Dean and Doggy Two’s team of two, they would shriek and come rushing for their heads.
Moreover, the quality of monsters in the Goblin Forest was clearly better than that in the Skeleton Cave.
Every wave basically had at least ten normal Forest Goblins along with an Elite Goblin Chief.
By merely consuming two waves, the 5 points of enhancement for Doggy Three filled up.
[You spent 1 Silver Coin and 100 Copper Coins to give Doggy Three 1.1 agility!]
[Doggy Three’s attribute allocation has temporarily reached its limit…)
[You have successfully used the [Elite Template], you can now choose one of the following evolution routes for Doggy Three!
1,?? Agile Skeleton Warrior
2,?? Mighty Skeleton Warrior]
[You have chosen[Mighty Skeleton Warrior], your Doggy Three’s agility and physique have respectively increased by 0.5, strength increased by 1, and Spirit Power column has been activated.]
[Your Doggy Three has awakened skill, Mighty!]
Skill: Mighty
Level: Level 1
Cost: 2 Spirit Power points
Effect: after activation, increase attack power equal to 1 time strength, duration is 1 second!
Compared to Doggy Two, the attributes of the evolved Doggy Three are quite ordinary, but Dean McKenzie is still very satisfied.
Next, Dean McKenzie continued to allocate attribute points.
After about three or four hours, and after several rounds of Goblin encounter, he was finally able to max out Doggy Three’s 10 attribute points.
[You have spent 16 Silver Coins to give Doggy Two 8 strength points!]
[You have spent 4 Silver Coins to give Doggy Two 2 agility points! ]
[Your Doggy Three’s level has risen from level 4 to level 7, strength increased by 1.5, agility increased by 0.9, physique increased by 0.6, and spirit points increased by 6!]
Name: Mighty Skeleton Warrior
Level: Level 7
Servant: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 13.2, Agility: 6.9, Physique: 3.5
Attack: 14.2
Defense: 1.75
Spirit Power: 11
Skill: Mighty
At this moment, Dean McKenzie already felt the power of his talent.
Although the previous two instances were a tad bit stifling, and his power increase relatively slow.
But once he had a solid foundation, the increase in his power was like a snowball rolling down a hill.
Within just a few hours, he spent 90 Silver Coins to create an elite template of a Wraith Servant.
But that was not even the biggest benefit Dean McKenzie got these past few hours.
Within this period, Dean McKenzie has defeated 8 waves of Goblins.
He obtained 20 Silver Coins, 12 small Mana Potions, and 5 small Life Potions.
Of course, these earnings certainly did not match up to the consumption of 90 Silver Coins by Dean McKenzie, but in fact, these are just a small part of his earnings. His biggest part of the earnings still lay within the Land of Bone.
Inside it, there were currently 8 Goblin Leaders, of level 12 to 14 with elite templates, lying on the ground.
If all of them were killed, Dean McKenzie estimated that purely in term of value of the items dropped, it could amount to about one Gold. This was definitely sufficient to supplement the consumption of 90 Silver Coins.
Moreover, their Experience Points could bring both Dean McKenzie and Doggy Two up to level 11.
Once they reached level 11, Dean McKenzie and Doggy Two could continue to level up their enhancements.
Conservatively speaking, both Dean McKenzie and Doggy Two could at least add another 10 attribute points to their stats.
That would have a significant and immediate impact on Dean McKenzie and to the enhancement of his strength.
However, Dean McKenzie didn’t intend to deal with those 8 Goblin Leaders yet, as he was preparing for the upcoming Skill Enhancement.
“Skill Enhancement has a 5 minute enhancement duration, and the extraction of Attribute Points can only be stored for 30 minutes. Furthermore, Elite Essence can only be extracted during the Skill Enhancement duration.
Under this circumstance, if you want to enhance a powerful skill, you must figure out a way!”
Those 8 Goblin Leaders were the solution for Dean McKenzie.
However, now that the solution was in place, another problem arose; which skill should he enhance next?
