LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 37 - Massacre in the Boneyard
“Triggered?”
Jiang Cheng, who originally held little hope, was instantly filled with surprise.
A one in a thousand chance, and it actually triggered – how lucky.
But now was not the time to be stunned.
His skeleton had just resurrected and was about to climb to its feet, only to be immediately pierced through the heart by countless arrows and killed.
However, Jiang Cheng’s goal of attracting fire had been achieved.
Squeezing his legs against the horse’s belly, the Skeleton Warhorse instantly shot out, rapidly approaching the Tomb-Guarding Archers who were firing at his skeleton.
Fifty meters away, arriving in three seconds.
As he made contact with the seven Tomb-Guarding Archers, Jiang Cheng leapt off his horse.
The longbow in his hand transformed into the Blood Hell Sword, chopping towards the skulls of the Tomb-Guarding Archers.
“Pu!”
Slashing downwards with the added momentum of his powerful speed, he directly cleaved the Tomb-Guarding Archer in front of him in two, along with its longbow.
“Peng!”
In an instant, the skeleton of the Tomb-Guarding Archer was split by the powerful force, scattering bone powder everywhere.
“-3170!”
Boosted by the speed of his mount, this slash dealt maximum damage.
“-508!”
“-508!”
“-20.”
Within two meters, different colored damage numbers kept popping up above the heads of the Tomb-Guarding Archers.
Red indicated critical damage, blood-red was tearing damage, and white signified bonus damage from speed.
“Spurt!”
With a horizontal slash, he once again cut another Tomb-Guarding Archer at the waist.
“-2147!”
“-343!”
“-343!”
“Spurt!”
After another diagonal slash, the Tomb-Guarding Archers within two meters were instantly cleared out.
Soul Power increased by 9 points, experience increased by 1800, Evolution Points increased by 1800.
At this time, the large group of archers within fifty meters also noticed him. They all drew their bows and fired at Jiang Cheng.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Jiang Cheng had long since stepped forward, blocking many lines of sight, but at his current strength, Phantom Step still couldn’t avoid everything.
“-10!”
“-9!”
“-11!”
30 HP gone in an instant, but Jiang Cheng paid it no mind. Stepping forward again, he stomped on the cracked earth and slashed down with his blade.
Rage Slash triggered, Blood Drain triggered, a critical hit, Blood Hell activated.
His HP rose back up.
After three slashes, the area in front of him was cleared out once more.
Jiang Cheng continued his massacre of the outer perimeter’s Tomb-Guarding Archers in the skeleton graveyard, trampling on the scattered bone powder with each step.
With Blood Drain, he had no fear of running out of HP.
Half an hour later, he had killed over 800 archers, earning 160,000 Evolution points, 820 Soul Power, and leveling up once, slaughtering his way to the inner parts of the graveyard.
“Pu!”
Killing the final archer with a slash, Jiang Cheng suddenly received a system notification.
[Resurrection effect triggered. You have gained a loyal servant.]
As the notification sounded, the Tomb-Guarding Archer that had been reduced to bare bones slowly stood up before Jiang Cheng.
【Tomb-Guarding Archer】
Quality: Common
Level: 1
HP: 100
Defense: 1
Talent: Archery Mastery
Overview: Belongs to the Blood Hell Skeleton Assault Captain.
“Not bad, it should be possible to evolve it.”
“Spend 100 Evolution Points to evolve the Tomb-Guarding Archer?”
“Evolve,” Jiang Cheng said with certainty. Adding the 370,000 Evolution Points from before, he now had 530,000 Evolution Points.
Saving 400,000 to evolve himself, that left 130,000 to test out the power of the Tomb-Guarding Archer.
[Evolution successful, level 1.]
[Congratulations on spending 200 Evolution Points to evolve the Tomb-Guarding Archer.]
[Congratulations on spending 300…]

“As expected, advancement makes a big difference.” Jiang Cheng took a look, feeling fairly satisfied. Although it was quite a bit inferior to him, it had the advantage of being cheap.
Evolving it to level 10 only cost 5500 Evolution Points.
It seemed there was hope for a skeleton army in the future.
Although his personal strength was immense, there were simply too many players. He could handle a hundred players, a thousand players, but it was impossible for him to single-handedly face ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or even millions.
No matter how high his defense, his HP could still be forcibly depleted.
If every person cast a single spell, then no matter how strong he was, he would be powerless.
But with a skeleton army, he would have the courage to face countless players.
“Continue evolving.”
[Spent 2000 Evolution Points…]

“So it really is infinite evolution. These stats almost surpasses mine.”
“Let’s test out its power.” Jiang Cheng had an idea, looking at an elite-rank archer in the distance.
He ordered the Destruction Archer to shoot at it.
But at this moment, a team of adventure-loving players arrived at the outskirts of the Skeleton Graveyard.
Among them was a beta tester who knew that in this area, there was an underground tomb that contained many treasures.
As long as they lured away the Blood Raven Boss on the third floor of the tomb, they could easily obtain these treasures!
But when he saw the skeleton graveyard littered with bone powder, he instantly froze in place.
