C63 (1/2)
A few days later, in the Lich Territory.
The red moon illuminated the black earth, and a strange sound could be heard from the ground. In a patch of black soil, the bones of a person's left hand protruded as he struggled to climb out of the ground. When his right hand came out, for some reason, he was holding onto a white long spear.
The skeleton was at a loss. It did not know why it existed, nor did it know what to do.
Until it saw a group of skeletons that looked exactly like itself. Some held triangular bone shields, some held a long spear just like itself, and some even held a bow and arrow. It seemed to have found a direction and joined the team of skeletons.
After it left, three more left hands stretched out from the black soil.
As far as the eye could see, there was simply too much mud like this. A world filled with skeletons. There was no end in sight, only skeletons.
Tens of thousands!
At that moment, a bright light shone and the sound of a landslide could be heard.
A giant ape that was sixty feet tall rushed into the group of skeletons.
This was their world, so how could they tolerate the appearance of a strange race?
Kill him!
This was the skeleton's only thought.
Nearly a hundred Skeleton Archers picked up their bows and arrows, shooting towards the giant ape without stopping.
The powerful arrow drew a beautiful arc in the air before it bent over the chest of the giant ape like steel colliding.
Countless spear skeletons and shield soldiers swarmed towards the giant ape like a tide.
Xiang Han was overjoyed, ”Haha, there are actually over ten thousand skeletons here, we've struck it big!”
This giant ape was the embodiment of Xiang Han.
”This is simply heaven-defying!” Master, you really have invincible divine might! ” Tong Tian praised again and again, the sound of flattery could be heard incessantly, ”I never thought that there would be someone with such a strong body. Even cultivators at the stage of apocalypse would not be able to match up to him.”
Bai Zhuang was extremely excited, he only focused on pushing his mana, ”The strongest amongst these skeletons are only the archery skeletons, but the arrows that hit the adults are like paper! This is the first time we have heard of someone killing a skeleton without sparing any effort! ”
This is heaven defying!” In just a few days, our military merits have exceeded 10,000! And Master's over fifty thousand! ” Lan Ling was so excited that her face turned red. ”If we do, a hundred thousand military merits won't even last for a month. We are also eligible to receive a second class military asset. My lord is even more likely to be a third class military asset, one of the thousand-man commanders!
Xiang Han was also overjoyed. Although there were many Skeleton Archers in the Lich Earth Realm, they were unable to break through his defense. Even if they were at the late stage of Nascent Soul, or even the stage of apocalypse, there were very few who could ignore the attacks of these archers.
However, for a Body Refinement Cultivator who had taken the Dragon Bone Creation Pill, his body was comparable to a low grade Totem! This was a completely different situation!
The giant ape was like a killing machine in the army of skeletons.
With a flip of his hand, only three or four skeleton soldiers fell.
Not far away, another blue light flashed.
A team of twenty people formed an eighty feet tall wolf!
As soon as the eight-meter wolf appeared, countless arrows were launched towards it.
The Divine Wolf did not stop dodging, attacking the skeletons beside him. Xiang Han had seen such a team quite a few times.
The Wolf God tilted his head and looked at the giant ape who was twice as small as himself, walking among the skeletons. His heart was extremely cold.
”Who is this person!?” ”Simply …”
Just when he was thinking of something, he was forced to run far away by the countless flying stars.
For these eighty feet long divine wolves, these tens of thousands of skeletons, nearly five hundred of them were not his cup of tea!
”Forget it!” It was most likely a Body Refinement Senior that was in the Acupoint Charging Realm who was leading his disciple here! I'll still go to the skeleton thousand-man team! ”
As the eight-meter long wolf thought this, it turned into a streak of bloody light, fleeing into the distance. Its speed was astounding.
The giant ape grinned. ”Heh heh! Another one had run away! I was even worried that he would stay behind and fight for military merits! ”
Han Xian'er rolled her eyes inside her body, looking extremely charming: ”If our giant ape were to fight against that Divine Wolf, we probably won't be able to win against him! The attack power of the Divine Wolf was extremely high, and it was close to the Innate realm! Your body may not be able to defend against it! ”
The giant ape Xiang Han laughed, ”So what! Now is the time to kill skeletons, not to fight! ”
Finished speaking, the giant ape suddenly shouted and its body turned into a round rolling stone, crushing the group of skeletons in its path!
When Tongtian saw this, he couldn't help but remind them, ”Sir, don't overdo it. If we pass through the boundary, Frost Dragons will appear. With our current strength, we probably won't even have the chance to escape!”
The giant ape let out a roar and returned to its ape form and said, ”I know! If I were to lead the Hundred Desolations Formation, it's still possible to fight that Frost Dragon Beast, but this Violent Ape Formation is much weaker! At most, you have the strength of a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator! ”
Lan Ling also laughed, ”Master Xiang, why don't we kill our way up here for a month! Perhaps the lord will rely on military merits to ascend to the position of general! ”We will naturally be under the general then!”
The giant ape laughed bitterly, ”How can it be that easy? No matter how many skeletons we kill, it is only a third grade military achievement!” To become a general, one had to have military merits of second class and above! And a second grade military exploit is extremely difficult! ”
Indeed!
The military merits of the Military Affairs Department are divided into grades.
Whether it was killing a Frost Dragon or a Skeleton Soldier, these missions only had third class military merits.
And second class military merits can only be obtained on the battlefield.
In essence, there was no difference. Even if he killed a soldier from the Chu Country, it would still be a second-rate military achievement!
However, this was a must! He would need to be on the battlefield to obtain a second class military achievement.
Second class military merits is a necessary condition for promotion to the rank of general.
Third grade military merits were a necessary condition for advancing to a centurion, a thousand-man commander.
