Chapter 119 A Heaven-Sent Treasure: A Bountiful Harvest of the Everlasting Spring Fruit!
Following Su Xinyan, another Golden-ranked Apostle has emerged. The efficiency of his clones in acquiring knowledge and soul power through intercepted meditation will increase.
However, the soul essence of the skeleton clone, which was of lower-level Black Iron rank, was far inferior to that of these two Gold-rank apostles.
This also means that, apart from intercepting meditation, Ark cannot be developed any other uses for it in the short term.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly.
I wish a necromancer of apprentice or iron rank would come to serve as an apostle someday.
Then he could unscrupulously try to develop apostle functions.
Unfortunately, the necromancer class is extremely rare. There are only a few hundred recorded in the history of the Human Alliance, and it is estimated that less than half of them survived the blood war between humans and demons and the corruption of death energy to this day.
In recent years, Ark himself has been the only one in the Dragonxia Federation to awaken the necromancer profession.
Meeting someone even more inexperienced than him in the same field is purely a matter of luck.
I wonder if we can find a way to increase the probability of awakening the Necromancer class in the future, thereby increasing the number of players in this class.
After all, there's strength in numbers!
Shaking his head, Fang Zhou stopped thinking about these troubling matters.
After resting, he led his vast army of skeletons into the thorny jungle.
According to the Dungeon Monster Compendium, the most common monster in the Thorn Jungle is the [Predator Flower].
It attracts its prey with its vibrant colors and rich aroma.
Any unfortunate monster that gets close will be instantly devoured.
The Ark soon witnessed the predators hunting in the flowerbeds.
A stone-skinned lizard, seemingly intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers, swayed and crawled under the flowers.
Whoosh!
Then, the once incredibly beautiful flower bushes split open, swaying their buds, and swallowed the poor lizard whole.
Fangzhou frowned in disdain, then commanded several skeletons to step forward and, taking advantage of the predator flower bush being digested and unable to resist, to tear it into several pieces.
In addition, there are many monsters in the jungle that are good at disguising themselves.
They lie in wait, silently, and strike swiftly once their prey approaches.
The ark slowly moved forward for several hundred meters, and then witnessed a ferocious python, which looked inconspicuous and resembled withered vines, descend from the sky and swallowed a slow-reacting ferocious rabbit with lightning speed.
Fangzhou was secretly alarmed; the thorny jungle truly lived up to its reputation as the most dangerous hunting area in Cave 1.
Here, the roles of hunter and prey are constantly being reversed.
He remained highly vigilant, continuously activating his [Soul Vision] to perceive the surrounding dynamics through soul fluctuations.
They successfully evaded the ambushes of jungle monsters on multiple occasions.
Meanwhile, outside the cave, many students watching the Ark battle livestream were also amazed.
"How did Boss Fang discover that withered leaf demon butterfly just now? It was so close, yet I didn't even realize that a fallen leaf was a demon!"
"Ye Fan also tried hunting in a jungle yesterday, but in the end, the wolves and foxes were no match for him, so he had to give up."
Even the Demon Hunter, known for his agility and perception, was defeated in the jungle.
How could a frail, slow-witted necromancer like Fang Zhou be so easily navigating the far more dangerous Thorn Jungle?
"This has happened several times already, and Ark has never been successfully ambushed by the monsters. I reckon he must have mastered a rather powerful detection skill."
"That's right, only in this way can we explain why he could walk so leisurely and effortlessly through the thorny thicket!"
The cadets at Haicheng Military Academy are considered the elite of humanity, possessing excellent military skills.
Through the Ark's live combat broadcast, they quickly guessed that the Ark had mastered some kind of detection skill.
However, some students quickly realized something and asked in confusion, "Wait a minute, I just looked at the necromancer skill library."
There are no apprentice-level detection skills inside, and Ark has never simulated them before!
So where did he learn that from?
Another student stammered, "Could it be that in just two days of the dungeon hunt, Ark has successfully deduced another new skill?"
The students looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Although they didn't want to admit it, this only possibility was now before them.
After a long while, watching Fang Zhou effortlessly navigate the battle livestream as if he were on a leisurely outing, one student couldn't help but exclaim, "He's a monster!"
Inside the underground fortress, Su Xinyan and Lu Hu, who had returned from the military academy, looked at each other with doubt and uncertainty in their eyes.
Lu Hu couldn't help but ask, "Does the Ark also have sensory abilities?"
Su Xinyan shook her head hesitantly: "At least he won't before he enters Cave 1."
During his livestream the other day, didn't he often rely on thermal radar alerts to detect monsters?
"hiss!"
Lu Hu gasped, exclaiming in surprise, "Could it be that after the battle with the Blasphemous Fire last night, Ark gained something else and mastered a brand new perception skill overnight?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xinyan swayed slightly and gripped the staff in her hand tightly.
After a long silence, she finally uttered a few words.
"When he gets back, I'm going to interrogate him properly!"
After successfully repelling several attacks from jungle monsters, Ark quickly adapted to the hunting rhythm of this thorny jungle.
However, these jungle monsters are cunning and difficult to deal with.
Even if you kill them, the hunting points and loot you can get are not very generous.
Constantly engaging in direct confrontation severely hampered the Ark's exploration progress, so he immediately adjusted his combat strategy.
With its keen perception of soul fluctuations, Ark cleverly uses the terrain and vegetation of the jungle as natural barriers to avoid unnecessary conflicts with monsters as much as possible.
This greatly increased the marching speed of the skeleton army.
They moved silently through the depths of the thorny thicket, like a ghostly torrent.
Suddenly, Fangzhou stopped and turned to look at a towering tree on his left.
There were some vines climbing on it.
This vine-like plant has several tendrils intertwined together.
Each vine was as thick as an arm, purplish-black in color, and very rough, looking like a dried-out vine that had lost its moisture.
However, the text is filled with a vibrant sense of life, which is quite contradictory.
Fang Zhou was slightly pleased; these vines looked like a plant called ivy.
The "Changchun Fruit" it produces is considered a very rare and precious natural treasure.
Not only can it be taken directly to greatly restore physical and mental strength, but more importantly, it is an essential auxiliary material for apprentice-level natural-type professionals to break through the Black Iron bottleneck.
