Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Confident in his own abilities, Lynn did not hesitate, quickly checked his equipment, and prepared to leave.

He carefully wore the [Tears of Tranquility] close to his body, hung the [Phase Soul Lamp] on his waist, and then activated [Corpse Disguise], allowing his aura to blend into the surrounding desolate environment.

Immediately afterwards, he found a broken section in the dilapidated wall and walked out.

The wall has almost no defensive capabilities; it only serves to delineate a "safe zone," letting the undead in the wild know that this is the wizard's territory and should not approach it lightly.

In reality, if those undead really managed to break through, there would be nothing that could be done. This outpost had neither defensive measures nor a wizard in charge, making it practically useless.

Numerous outposts are scattered throughout the Eternal Cemetery, but most of them are in a state of damage and paralysis.

The School of Bones has not experienced a "defense of the school" for many years. These outposts are relics from hundreds of years ago and are now just gathering places for apprentices.

They probably won't be of much use in the future. If a powerful force were to invade the Eternal Graveyard, they would likely strike directly at the Academy's headquarters, rendering these outposts useless.

After walking a certain distance out of the "safe zone", Lynn immediately released Megatron to ride on.

Having been trapped inside the Ring of the Dead for almost a month, Megatron was really getting restless. As soon as he emerged, he let out a long, drawn-out dragon roar to vent his frustration, and then took off running wildly.

The wind in the rocky graveyard was extremely fierce, as could be seen from the weathered rocks on the ground that crumbled at the slightest touch.

The constant sound of the wind was absorbed by countless cracks in the rocks, turning into intermittent wailing, which sounded extremely eerie.

The negative energy in the air was extremely viscous, and absorbing it caused a noticeable sluggish feeling; even Lynn's mental perception was somewhat suppressed.

No wonder there are so few apprentices here; the environment is indeed not very friendly.

Lynn rode on Megatron's back, activating his [Mental Vision] at full power, scanning his surroundings.

Above the sky, the seven bone crows dispersed, trying their best to investigate all the movements around them.

Megatron was too fast; even flying high in the sky, the seven bone crows had difficulty keeping up and could only force Megatron to slow down.

Going slow is fine, safety comes first.

The closer you get to the rubble graveyard, the more scattered boulders there are on the ground, forming some kind of array.

To avoid the boulder, Megatron slowed down once again, cautiously navigating among the jagged rocks.

Lynn also focused his attention on the Bone Raven's field of vision, observing the movements in the "Rough Stone Graveyard".

Soon, those "moving stones" came into view.

These "stone monsters" do not have a uniform appearance; they are all made of rough stones.

Like a pile of stones in the shape of a human or an animal, built by a child, they move slowly but with great force, and ordinary witchcraft can hardly cause them much harm.

They are not traditional undead, but rather strange creations formed from rocks that have been corrupted and blackened by some kind of intense resentment or mutated energy.

Could it be that some wizard, on a whim, wanted to be a creator, and after creating these stone monsters, had nowhere to put them, so he simply left them here to serve as "wild monsters," and then they became "apprentice" killers?

Hmm... probably not, after all, those wizards also have their pride.

These strangely shaped stones look like something a child would haphazardly pile up; no normal person would put them up like this.

Lynn did not rush forward to fight. He put away Megatron, hid three kilometers away from the Stone Monster team, and sent out an analysis.

--------

[Target]: Stone Golem (Degraded Activated Construct)

[Rank]: lv1 - lv3 (Standard Rank - Boss Rank)

[Composition]: Abnormal rock core, resentment binder, rough rock body

[Potential]: Extremely low (energy creation, no growth potential, dependent on external energy source)

【ability】:

1. Rock Body: High physical defense, with strong resistance to ordinary slashing and piercing attacks.

2. Blunt Strike: The attack is accompanied by physical impact and mental shockwave, dealing damage to unprotected targets and inflicting the "Mental Blunt" effect (slowed thinking, obscured mental energy).

3. Earth Vein Echoes (Cluster): When there are many of them, their actions are subtly synchronized, and their attack rhythms will reinforce each other.

【weakness】:

1. The core (rock core) is fragile and easily disintegrates when subjected to precise energy impacts or strong acid corrosion.

2. Slow to act and difficult to turn around.

3. It relies on external resentment/earth vein energy and will gradually lose its activity when separated from a specific environment.

[Evaluation]: A typical mass-produced environmental pollution product, with decent combat capability but no cultivation value. It can be used as a sample to understand energy pollution and the principles of the construct.

...

Oh? A product of mutated energy?

Could it be that some kind of "energy body" or "pollution source" has been born here?

Lynn's heart stirred slightly. If it really was a special energy body that could give birth to monsters, its value would probably not be low.

"The source of the energy anomaly must be related to the power that created these stone golems," Lynn concluded.

He avoided the area where the stone golems roamed, and since he didn't understand the situation yet, he shouldn't make a move rashly.

What if there's a super big boss inside? If we alert them, it could be disastrous.

Anyway, these stone golems are all transformed from ordinary stones, so even if you dismantle them, you won't get any loot. It's a waste of effort.

The Stone Graveyard covers a vast area. After avoiding the "monster zone," Lynn took out a compass specifically designed to detect energy fluctuations.

They stealthily followed the direction of the wildly spinning pointer on the [Energy Detection Compass] in their hands.

As the saying goes, finding the dragon vein and dividing the gold...

Hmm...that's the vibe.

As Lynn ventured deeper, a thin mist gradually rose around them.

In the Bone Crow's vision, the fog ahead grew thicker and thicker, making it difficult to see what was happening inside.

Lynn instructed the bone crow to lower its flight altitude and plunge into the mist to investigate the situation.

At first, things were fine. In the images transmitted by the bone crows, apart from the groups of wandering stone golems and the "mist spirits" scattered throughout the stone formation, there were no other abnormalities.

This thick fog was released by the "fog spirits," and the stone golem was completely unaffected by it, as if the two had formed a "symbiotic" relationship.

As the bone crows merged into the thick fog, the transmitted "mental images" became increasingly choppy and blurry, and Lynn's mental thoughts could no longer be transmitted to the bone crows.

This seems to be the real reason for "mental dulling".

Seeing that his connection with the Bone Raven was getting weaker and weaker with distance, Lynn had no choice but to continue advancing towards the center.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie.

Unnatural cracks began to appear on the ground, with a dark blue glow seeping from the cracks, as if there were energy crystal mines below.

It seems that this "energy source" is extremely abundant and has already affected the surrounding environment. In the long run, it may indeed radiate the central area into an energy vein.

The value of this place will be much higher then...
