Chapter 401 War Call-up Order, the Great Savior of the Nature Forest
The Sleeping Underworld is an extremely precious necromancy-attribute alchemy resource that can be used to create many high-level magical artifacts and potions, enhancing the user's ability to control the undead or strengthening the power of the soul.
This kind of thing is a rare treasure, even on the black market.
Not to mention the other students, even Fang Zhou was stunned.
"I never imagined I'd made the right choice coming to this treasure appraisal event!"
Fangzhou cheered inwardly, but outwardly remained calm, as if he were deep in thought.
There's really no need to think about it!
The moment Fangzhou saw this resource, he wanted to acquire it.
Because after he broke through the bottleneck and advanced to Black Iron, the gray, low-quality Sighing Flower in his possession could no longer exert its original all-around amplification effect.
Under Instructor Su Xinyan's analysis, Fangzhou also understood the crux of the matter.
That is because the original raw materials used to support that Sighing Flower were of limited quality and could not withstand higher levels of energy.
At that time, Ark had a sudden inspiration by chance. Without having systematically studied alchemy, he performed a natural alchemy using the attribute panel. All the skills were perfectly integrated and extremely exquisite.
However, the limitations of the materials greatly restricted the effectiveness of the Flower of Sighs, this wondrous item.
Instructor Su Xinyan has repeatedly lamented that if there were an opportunity to upgrade the quality of the raw materials for the Sighing Flower, then thanks to the naturally formed alchemy within it, this wondrous object could accompany the Ark for a very long time.
Since breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to the Black Iron level, Ark has also spent a lot of effort searching for undead attribute alchemy resources that can be used to enhance the Sighing Flower on the trading channel of his personal terminal.
However, the numerous searches failed to yield any substantial results.
Most of the resources circulating in the market are either of insufficient quality or too expensive, exceeding the Ark's affordability.
In the end, Fangzhou had no choice but to put the idea aside for the time being and instead focus his energy on daily training and missions.
It was truly unexpected that what was intended to be a beautiful flower arrangement turned out to be a beautiful one, while what was unintentional turned out to be a lush willow.
Fangzhou didn't have high expectations for this treasure appraisal event.
After all, for him, such occasions are more about showcasing and exchanging ideas than about actual transactions.
But to his surprise, he encountered the most suitable alchemical material with necromancy attributes for enhancing the Sighing Flower: Sleeping Netherworld Soil.
The Sleeping Underworld can not only significantly improve the quality of undead artifacts, but also enhance the user's soul power to a certain extent.
This material is extremely rare, and even experienced alchemists find it difficult to obtain.
As long as he can get his hands on it, with the assistance of Instructor Su Xinyan, Fang Zhou is confident that he can enhance the Sighing Flower to a white or higher quality.
He was determined to make this deal.
Fangzhou then opened his personal terminal, quickly drafted a transaction contract, and sent it to the student.
The two naturally engaged in a heated bargaining session on their personal terminals.
Ultimately, Fangzhou successfully persuaded the other party by virtue of his sincerity and reasonable offer.
He traded two precious skeletal warhorse reins for this small basin of precious slumbering earth.
After the transaction was completed, Fangzhou readily stepped down from the treasure-hunting platform and returned to his seat.
According to the rules of the treasure appraisal event, there will be three more rounds of bartering, but these are no longer relevant to him.
Aside from contribution points and soul power, he has made full use of all the resources at his disposal to enhance his combat power.
No matter how exciting the upcoming treasure appraisal event is, Ark can only be an observer, quietly waiting for the next opportunity to come.
A few days later, Fang Zhou stood in his training room, looking around, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
The various alchemy tools and materials hanging on the wall, and the empty shelves, silently testify to his recent busyness and dedication.
After the intense competition at the recent trade fair, he finally converted all the resources he obtained into cultivation foundation.
But at the same time, he also found, somewhat ironically, that he had become penniless again.
The reason for all of this is actually quite simple.
In order to acquire the resources that were crucial to improving their strength, Ark spared no effort in trading all the large amount of materials they had previously stockpiled with others.
The previously established virtuous cycle of soul power and contribution points has temporarily stalled after all the skills of the necromancer's main body and his skeletal clones have been pushed to their limits.
After all, if you want to refine and perfect skills, you can't just push the attribute panel around like a headless fly.
All the functions of the attribute panel are based on his understanding.
Without relevant skill deduction strategies and sufficient skill materials, directly using the attribute panel to consume soul power for deduction is like looking for a needle in a haystack, with extremely low efficiency.
The Ark is not yet at that level of extravagance.
Currently, all the common skills of Black Iron-level combatants mastered by the skeletal clones have been converted into ultimate enhanced versions that are easier to propel using death energy.
This not only means that the power and effectiveness of the skills have been greatly enhanced, but more importantly, the flexibility and adaptability of these skills in practical applications have also been greatly increased.
Even disregarding the attribute increases gained from hunting the skeletons under Skeleton Lord Mo's banner in the Corpse Hills during this period, the Corpse Clone's combat power has been greatly enhanced compared to before.
As for the main body, Ark spared no expense, spending thousands of contribution points to enhance and push all the skills that still had room for improvement to their limits.
Apart from the "Skeleton Regeneration" and "Artificial Undead" projects, which have not yet made substantial progress due to their high difficulty, Ark's various skills and attributes have basically reached the perfect top-tier state of lower-tier Black Iron.
It can be said that although resources are temporarily exhausted, the returns on the Ark from these investments are obvious.
At that very moment, Haicheng Military Academy issued a massive call to action to all its lower-ranking cadets.
As the number one seed in the second year, Fangzhou naturally received this call to arms as well.
He looked at his personal terminal.
"War Mission: Defense of the Nature's Forest"
The energy concentration of the Natural Forest space fragments has stabilized at the lower level of Black Iron.
As the energy concentration stabilized, the frequency of invasions by Black Iron-level monsters increased significantly.
Relying solely on the strength of their flower fairy allies, it has become increasingly difficult to defend their homeland and the vital Moon Spring.
All Black Iron-ranked cadets at Haicheng Military Academy can accept the war call-up mission independently or in teams.
Enter the Nature Forest Space Fragment as soon as possible to resolve the monster invasion crisis for our Flower Fairy allies.
Mission Rewards: Contribution Points, Military Merit, and various resources from the Nature's Forest.
Within minutes of reading this message, Ark's personal terminal received numerous messages from various people.
He clicked on it and saw that among them were Gu Yueyuan, Liu Diewu, and even Zhang Wu, who had previously given the Ark Flower Fairy Queen a token and exchanged Changchun Fruit with him.
The letters from several people were largely the same; they all forwarded the recruitment notice for the war from Haicheng Military Academy to Fangzhou and asked if he was interested in forming a team to participate.
Fangzhou was naturally delighted with this.
With his current strength, he is unlikely to encounter any danger in the space fragments where the energy concentration is stable at the lower level of Black Iron.
This was a golden opportunity to earn contribution points and military merits for free, and Ark certainly wouldn't miss it.
Moreover, Ark has now largely digested its various foundations and needs a new breakthrough to further improve itself.
The Forest of Nature's spatial fragments is not only an excellent training ground, but also a treasure trove of abundant resources.
This trip into the Forest of Nature's spatial fragment will not only help the Flower Fairy clan resolve the crisis of monster invasion, but also provide an opportunity to plunder special resources from the Flower Fairy clan, or rather, from those chaotic monsters.
Whether for personal use or for future transactions with others, it is an excellent choice. Although Fang Zhou thought this way, he did not rush to agree. Instead, he first informed Instructor Su Xinyan and Instructor Lu Hu about the war recruitment order and asked for their opinions.
Both instructors replied to Fangzhou with just one word—"Do it!"
With the support of two Gold-rank instructors, Fangzhou naturally felt more at ease.
He then quickly created a chat group and added Gu Yueyuan, Liu Diewu, and Zhang Wu, who were relatively familiar with him.
After a brief discussion, a disaster squad led by Ark was officially established.
However, unlike the previous Cataclysm Squad which only dominated in simulated battlefields, this time the Cataclysm Squad is going to actually go to the battlefield.
Currently, the Disaster Relief Team has four main members.
Ark, a low-ranking Black Iron Necromancer.
Black Iron Lower-Rank Hive Walker Ancient Moon Source.
Black Iron Lower Rank Natural Druid Willow Butterfly Dance.
Zhang Wu, a low-ranking natural mage of the Black Iron rank.
Among them, Zhang Wu greatly improved his affinity with natural attributes with the help of the Evergreen Fruit provided by the Ark.
With this powerful boost, he successfully broke through the bottleneck, advanced to Iron rank, and then surpassed others to enter the second-year seed student sequence.
On the surface, all four members of the Disaster Squad are mage-class players, not the traditional warrior-mage-support trio.
However, within the entire Disaster Squad, Ark and Gu Yueyuan, two monstrous talents, cannot be fathomed by ordinary standards.
Whether it's attacking, defending, or controlling, the Ark's undead army and the Ancient Moon Source's swarm of insects can perfectly fulfill their roles, so there's naturally no need to recruit other combatants to serve as front-line fighters.
As for reconnaissance, in the Nature Forest, a fragment of space with extremely dense natural energy and covered with forests and vegetation, the advantages of the Willow Butterfly Dance Nature Druid class are unparalleled.
She was able to provide the team with timely intelligence and support, playing a vital role.
In addition, she is also Ark's research assistant and possesses many useful support skills.
As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders," so bringing her along is only natural.
As for Zhang Wu, the nature mage, it was naturally because of his special relationship and bond with the flower fairy clan.
After all, he had saved the little princess of the flower fairy clan from the mouth of a monster, and thus gained the trust of the flower fairy queen.
Bringing Zhang Wu along would naturally make it easier for the Disaster Squad and the Flower Fairy Clan to communicate and accept various missions.
Even after defeating the monsters that invaded the Forest of Nature in the later stages, with Zhang Wu's intervention, the members of the Disaster Squad could exchange for various rewards provided by the Flower Fairy Clan at more favorable prices and with greater authority.
After the members of the disaster relief team purchased a large quantity of logistical supplies, Ark led the team to the registration area.
The Dragonxia Federation has a strong martial spirit.
Therefore, upon receiving this massive war call, many lower-ranking Black Iron students were eager to participate and began to sign up.
Fangzhou managed to register first through a special channel thanks to his privilege as the No. 1 seed, and boarded the troop transport vehicle heading to the Nature Forest space fragment.
The location where the fragments of the Natural Forest space merged with the Blue Star world is very close to the Haicheng Military Academy.
Therefore, just in case, the senior officers at the military academy set up a fixed teleportation array there.
Once all personnel have arrived, Haicheng Military Academy will be responsible for precisely deploying its elite forces into the Natural Forest space fragment.
A dazzling light flashed within the teleportation array.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Ark and his Cataclysm team finally arrived at the Nature Forest Space Fragment.
Upon stepping onto this magical land, Ark was immediately captivated by the sight before him.
The Forest of Nature is like a vast green ocean, with endless forests and grasslands stretching as far as the eye can see, and the air filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers and grasses.
Sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows that make the entire space vibrant and lush.
Various exotic flowers and plants adorn the area, creating a vibrant and beautiful scene.
Birds soar freely in the sky, and small animals run happily in the forest, creating a peaceful scene.
However, although the scene before him gave Fang Zhou a refreshing feeling, he also vaguely sensed a kind of repulsion from the surrounding energy level.
It seems that with his current level of nearing breakthrough to the middle stage of the Black Iron realm, he has already reached the normal limit of what this spatial fragment can contain.
Fangzhou shifted uncomfortably.
He had never felt this way before, not even when he was at the Haicheng Military Academy or hunting in Cave 1.
It was as if a giant had been forced into a cramped room, feeling extremely awkward.
To alleviate this discomfort, Ark activated the Corpse Warlord Meditation Technique, guiding the necromantic power to circulate within his body several times.
As the magical power flowed, he gradually adapted to the feeling, and the unease in his heart slowly dissipated.
Taking a deep breath, Fangzhou became optimistic again.
At least this upper limit of energy concentration also indicates a significant reduction in the level of danger.
If they were all low-ranking monsters of the Black Iron rank, with his current strength, he could easily handle them even with his eyes closed.
Haicheng Military Academy also has temporary base camps within the Nature Forest space fragments.
With Liu Diewu and Zhang Wu leading the way with ease, the members of the Disaster Squad registered at the temporary base and tentatively took their first step in exploring the Forest of Nature.
