“Why does it have to reach five thousand?” Mo Fan asked cluelessly.
The necromancer was stunned. Shouldn’t a normal person be angry first?
After all, he was planning to kill everyone here. Shouldn’t this guy be worried about his life?
“Well… it’s part of my power. Do you know how a furnace works? I need a lot of ordinary material to refine metal with a high boiling point and get rid of the impurities. Most materials burn into ashes as they cannot withstand the high temperature, leaving only the real essence behind. Similarly, I can refine an Undead Essence after reaping five thousand souls!” The necromancer oddly did not mind answering Mo Fan’s question.
“What is the Undead Essence for?” Mo Fan pressed curiously.
The necromancer smacked his lips, his fingers constantly moving. He was controlling the Skeleton Demons and bringing them closer.
For some reason, he felt it was inappropriate to kill these soldiers before answering their questions.
“We are in the middle of a war,” Zhao Manyan mentioned to Mo Fan nervously.
“It’s fine, you won’t leave this swamp, either!” the necromancer said confidently.
“Why are you feeling so confident?” Mo Fan pressed.
“It’s very simple…” the necromancer smiled. He slowly lifted his other hand as if it was carrying something.
The swamp shuddered as he lifted his hand higher. The firm ground which comprised the above-ground points in the swamp collapsed into the mud.
The ground the soldiers of the Federation were standing on had collapsed. They could only climb onto the nearby plants and trees.
Little did they know, the trees were the source of the loud movement in the swamp!
Mo Fan did not have to use the Chaos Magic this time. The trees pulled their roots out of the mud themselves. They did not turn upside down, but they still revealed their true appearances to the soldiers.
A single Skeleton Demon Tree was scary enough for the soldiers, let alone a group of them!
The seemingly ordinary trees were like the stem of a carrot. You never knew how big the carrot under the ground was when pulling at the tiny stem!
The Skeleton Demon Trees might be slow, but their branches and leaves could reach hundreds of meters away.
The soldiers of the Federation Army suddenly found themselves in a primitive jungle. The only difference was, the trees were all skeletons. It was a terrifying skeletal forest!
“An Undead Essence is a precious seed used to plant one of these trees!” the necromancer answered Mo Fan’s question excitedly.
Mo Fan nodded. So that was it…
This necromancer might be serving the Brown Rebels, but he had also received a lot of benefits from the war in return. He had collected the dead bodies of the soldiers and buried them under the swamp to strengthen his Undead Magic.
No wonder he claimed a war was like spring for a necromancer…
“You must have taken out the scouts sent here by the Federation Army too, which means you are an important general of the Brown Rebels!” Mo Fan deduced happily.
The necromancer, Bucker, was startled.
Was the young man from the Federation Army blind? Could he not see the nine Skeleton Demon Trees across the swamp?
