Divine Realm: Starting with the Broken Bone Dragon

In the Silverblood Clan's Zhan Clan meeting hall, a middle-aged man sat calmly at the head of the table, while a figure sat uneasily before him.

"Zhan Tianqing, you said you found star-patterned purple iron in the public exploration area. Do you have the coordinates?"

Zhan Chengguang asked seriously.

"Yes, Father. Moreover, I specifically used a detection spell when I passed by. According to the spell's feedback, this vein has reserves of at least 10 tons."

Tell me what happened.

Zhan Tianqing dared not hide anything and hurriedly revealed his discovery, emphasizing that a human demigod possessed a bone dragon.

Zhan Chengguang gently tapped the table with his right hand, the thumping sound echoing in the empty room.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "You'd better pray that these two humans haven't discovered this star-patterned purple iron, otherwise, heh..."

Zhan Chengguang stood up, walked out of the conference hall in a few steps, leaving Zhan Tianqing alone in the room, clenching his fists in resentment.

"Ha, family, kinship, how laughable."

He shook his head and slowly walked out of the conference hall.

Within the family, he was merely a collateral descendant who had been fortunate enough to awaken the Earth Giant. No matter how talented he was, he couldn't receive preferential treatment in terms of resources. Now that the core of the divine realm was shattered, all that awaited him was endless labor.

......

"This is star-patterned purple iron?"

Jiang Mengyao curiously examined the stone in her hand that emitted a soft purple light, but realizing she didn't know how to use it, she casually tossed it aside.

"Lin Fan, have you tested the effects of the Earth Power?"

Jiang Mengyao, looking bored, gently jumped onto Lin Fan's head and lay down.

"The test results are almost complete."

As Lin Fan spoke, he recorded the data into the Skeleton Book Monster.

"Based on the experiments conducted over this period, the increase in strength and physique from the power of the earth should be calculated as a percentage."

"percentage?"

"That's right. I made some comparisons between Skeleton Guardians who have just entered the Extraordinary Realm and Skeleton Guardians who have been in the Extraordinary Realm for more than ten years. I found that the power of the earth does not improve the Extraordinary-level Skeleton Guardians much. It can only make them win in battles of the same level, but it cannot defeat those Skeleton Guardians with excellent physiques."

"On the contrary, the superhuman skeleton guards with excellent physiques can get more bonuses."

"I guess the strength bonus should be around 20%."

"Of course, this bonus only refers to strength; it's unclear whether constitution is calculated as a percentage."

Jiang Mengyao looked at him with admiration.

"Wow, Lin Fan, you're amazing! You've almost figured out the boost from the new rune in just a few days!"

"It's not that impressive, after all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory!"

Lin Fan smiled blankly, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise.

Yes, yes.

Jiang Mengyao mumbled softly, reached out and grabbed a protruding bone on Lin Fan's body, and unknowingly fell asleep.

"That girl."

Lin Fan shook his head, set up a soundproof array, and used magic to fix the other person's body to prevent him from falling when he moved.

Since defeating those two Silverblood Clan gods, this girl has been working non-stop to sell the remaining Earth Giants and Divine Realm area. She's been incredibly busy these past few days.

The harvest was also quite good; the remaining Earth Giants and the area of ​​the Divine Realm brought them nearly 8 Divine Power Points.

Of course, the main reason is that the heavy armor of these earth giants is really valuable.

Since these other divine powers could not be used to advance to godhood, Jiang Mengyao converted them all into resources for the development of the divine realm.

This has resulted in an abundance of bone equipment in the Divine Realm, while the number of skeletons is insufficient.

"Yes, once this girl wakes up, we'll begin engraving earth power runes on a large scale, and the task of adding new troop types is also imminent."

Lin Fan held a skeleton guard in his claws, and while thinking, he kept exerting force to test how much the skeleton guard's physique had increased.

"These skeleton mages are far too weak right now. I wonder when they will be able to comprehend extraordinary magic."

This battle also exposed the Skeleton Army's weakness of being afraid of heavily armored units.

Skeleton archers, who are invincible against unarmored or lightly armored units, are like ants on the roadside when facing heavily armored units; they can be crushed with a flick of the wrist.

After thinking for a while, Lin Fan began to devise a plan for what new type of soldier to train.

The Skeleton Army's current weakness is that it has almost no ability to fight back against heavily armored and flying units, and it is also not good at chasing enemies.

Despite the boost from some Swiftness runes, the speed was still ultimately too slow.

As for how to deal with heavily armored units, Lin Fan really didn't have any good ideas other than waiting for the skeleton mages to master more advanced magic.

However, he already had ideas for air units and cavalry units.

A gargoyle transformation magic circle appeared in his hand.

"First, replace these earth-type runes with skull-type runes. This will reduce the weight and also transform the gargoyles into skeleton creatures."

"It still feels so heavy, what's wrong?"

Lin Fan was puzzled, but after a careful inspection, he discovered that the gargoyle's transformation runes were the culprit.

"I don't need to turn into a stone statue. I'll just absorb the death energy; it'll be good for my health."

As Lin Fan spoke, he extended his claw and gently slashed, instantly removing half of the two-layered gargoyle conversion array.

"These earth-based equipment pieces are still a bit heavy if they're made of bone. Let's remove some of the decorations."

As Lin Fan conceived the idea, he removed the useless parts.

"What a pity that I ruined such a good gargoyle conversion array like this."

Looking at the final product, Lin Fan felt quite helpless.

In his memory, the Gargoyle Conversion Array had been optimized by countless geniuses. The version in his hands could be said to have gathered the essence of countless people, but now he could only remove these essences and add redundant parts for his own use.

"Oh, right! And they're too small. I was hoping these gargoyles could carry the skeleton mages flying!"

Lin Fan clapped his hands, inscribing a rune that would enlarge his size into the transformation array.

Lin Fan casually tossed a skeleton that had just broken through to the extraordinary level into the conversion array, and thoughtfully placed the heavy armor guarded by the skeleton inside.

A pale white energy rose from the array, enveloping the bone equipment and the skeleton.

Lin Fan nervously recorded on the Skeleton Book Monster: Experiment 001 on the transformation of gargoyles into skeleton life forms.

As the light faded, a strange, unrecognizable creature appeared before Lin Fan.

"It failed!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Fan's eyes, but he also understood that failure was the normal phenomenon. He was not some peerless genius, so how could he so easily modify the conversion array that had been optimized by countless predecessors?

"The biggest problem with this gargoyle is that its heavy armor hasn't fully integrated with its body..."
