Chapter 62 Rare Resources from the Underworld, Combat Power Soars!
Fang Zhou's soul fatigue eased considerably, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
This soul-soothing potion truly lived up to Bai Xiaochun's strong recommendation; its effects were indeed remarkable.
However, just like with mental energy recovery potions, apprentice-level professionals can only take one bottle of [Low-level Soul Soothing Potion] per day.
Otherwise, given Fang Zhou's immense wealth, he could practically drink it like water.
Now, Arknights can listen to Bai Xiaochun play a requiem every day, eat more Tranquilizing Mushrooms in the cafeteria, and use the newly exchanged Soul Soothing Potion. With these combined measures, their soul recovery speed is almost twice as fast as when they first awakened.
Bathed in the bright moonlight, Fang Zhou returned to his dormitory in a cheerful mood. After washing up, he quickly fell asleep.
......
The next morning, Fangzhou woke up feeling refreshed.
The drowsiness caused by mental exhaustion and lack of sleep has been swept away.
You get what you pay for; this soul-soothing potion really works.
Fangzhou was very satisfied and sighed once again.
After breakfast, he arrived at the simulated battlefield full of energy.
After spending a lot of money last night, his attributes, equipment, and skills all improved dramatically.
After updating its projection in the simulated battlefield, Ark decisively entered the Abyss difficulty of the [Horned Demon Outpost].
This time, he wanted to try to confront the demon army head-on and test his true combat capabilities.
Within the familiar thick fog, the Ark quickly summoned 50 skeletons, each stronger than the last.
He then drank the mental energy recovery potion, activated the [Calm and Composed] skill, and restored his mental energy to 70%.
Unlike before, he no longer controlled the skeleton army to dig traps in the foggy jungle, but instead marched in a mighty force straight towards the Horned Demon outpost.
Under the precise shots of the bone spears, the six lesser demon sentries outside the outpost only had time to issue a warning before being killed by the Ark.
Then, amidst the sickening grinding of skeletons, the skeleton army swiftly surged into the outpost, blocking the giant axe-wielding, heavily armored horned demon and its demon army, who had rushed out after hearing the sentry's warning, right in the outpost's hall.
The narrow road meets the brave to win!
With 7% of its mental energy remaining, the Ark, along with 50 elite skeletons, faced off against 35 demons head-on.
Amidst the roars of demons and the howls of skeletons, a great battle erupted instantly.
Meanwhile, on the training field...
Other trainees who came to challenge the simulated battlefield also turned their surprised gazes to the Ark's live battle broadcast.
"Look! Fang Zhou actually led the skeletons straight into the outpost this time? Is he going to fight those demons head-on?"
"How is that possible? In the previous week, he had come up with all sorts of tactics to weaken the demons' combat power in order to pass the level and win."
If he had enough raw power, why would he need to think about so many tactics?
"Haven't you noticed? The Ark is summoning 10 more skeletons than it did a week ago!"
His staff and other equipment were inlaid with various gems. Good heavens, this is so extravagant! I don't even have enough contribution points to exchange for an apprentice longsword.
Amidst the students' shocked discussions, the skeleton army and the outpost demons were already engaged in a fierce melee.
To everyone's surprise, the skeletons summoned by the Ark did not shatter upon contact with the ferocious, heavily armored axe-wielding horned demons as they had before.
The Ark's staff emitted bursts of dark light, and the skeletons illuminated by the black light clearly gained increased combat power.
With the enhancement of the Mass Brutality spell, their fangs and bone claws were enough to leave deep scratches on the horned demon's heavy armor.
Of course, the horned demon was too tough and resilient, so Ark dealt with it last.
Under his command, the primary target of the skeleton army was still the cunning demon child among the six apprentices.
Fangzhou stood outside the outpost gate, separated by a thick sea of skeletons, naturally unafraid of having his spiritual power drained by the Demon Child's Devouring Magic talent.
Seeing this, the demon children all cowered under the protection of the little lesser demons, shaking the obsidian orbs in their hands and firing out filthy, blasphemous rays.
Outnumbered, the lesser demons were forced to huddle together by the skeleton army in an attempt to hold their ground.
good chance!
A glint flashed in Fang Zhou's eyes, and he decisively brandished his staff, unleashing "Bone Arrow Rain!"
With a sharp whooshing sound, dozens of bone arrows flew close to the ceiling of the outpost hall, heading towards the small, huddled group of inferior demons.
Amidst a series of agonizing screams, five or six lesser demons were killed by arrows.
Then, the bone arrows exploded in succession, injuring many lesser demons who were unable to dodge in time.
In their panic, some of the lesser demon apprentices disregarded the commands of the Abyss Demon Children and ran around in all directions.
The once-solid defenses naturally revealed their weaknesses.
Fangzhou immediately and astutely seized this precious opportunity.
The Ark unleashed another Bone Shackles, interrupting the charge of the heavily armored horned demon wielding an axe. Taking advantage of the chaos among the lesser demons, the Ark commanded 30 skeletons to launch another fearless charge.
With the enhancement of the max-level [Summon Skeletons], [Dominate Skeletons], and [Mass Brutality], the originally fragile skeletons completely overwhelmed the lower-ranked lesser demons.
Even the lesser demons at the apprentice level, no matter how hard they swung their steel forks, could not defeat these skeletons in a short time.
Seeing that things were going badly, the six abyssal demon children let out sharp curses and then fired six blasphemous rays, shattering the three skeletons at the forefront into pieces.
Seeing this, Fangzhou naturally refused to be outdone.
Another fierce barrage of [Bone Arrow Rain] followed, and he killed four or five more lesser demons.
The skeleton army launched another attack, finally tearing apart the defenses that the lesser demons were struggling to maintain.
Click.
Click.
The skeletons, who knew no fear, paid no attention to the chaotic little demons.
Under Ark's command, they targeted the six Abyss Demon Children hiding behind the battle formation, surrounding them from all sides.
The outpost hall was originally quite spacious, but it seemed incredibly cramped amidst the chaotic battle involving nearly 100 combat units.
At this moment, the Abyss Demon Child lost the protection of the lesser demons and was directly exposed to the attacks of the Ark and the skeleton army.
Fangzhou spared no effort in unleashing his magic, and six skeletal shackles rose up, locking away the last hope of escape for these six abyssal demon children.
Then dozens of skeletons pounced on them, easily tearing the demon children to pieces.
After dealing with these troublesome demon children, Fangzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that the scales of victory had completely tipped in his favor.
Next, he split off half of his skeleton and continued to suppress the impotent, enraged, heavily armored horned demon wielding an axe.
The other half of the skeletons, working in conjunction with his bone spears and bone arrows, surrounded and slaughtered the few remaining lesser demons in the hall.
