Chapter 140: Advancing to true demon
After arriving at the cemetery of death, Han Shuo immediately placed all the materials needed to refine the earth elite zombie in the place of extreme earth.
He was in no hurry to immediately take action as he first refreshed the refining method for the earth elite zombie in his mind. He only started after he thoroughly considered the various steps in the procedures and places that he’d need to keep an eye out for.
He first found the place in which the earth qi was thickest in the place of extreme earth. Han Shuo took out the Demonslayer Edge and dug a hole, turning it into the place where he’d be putting the zombies. All sorts of materials landed exactly where they should be placed according to the setup of the formation. He coalesced all of his mental strength in his mind and went over everything clearly and cleanly. Han Shuo acted without hesitation and completed all preparations with extremely high efficiency.
When a ball of oozing, black dirt was embedded in a natural dip in the place of extreme earth, a small, weak wind seemed to start blowing in this location of extreme earth. However, upon taking a close look, one would discover that it wasn’t a weak breeze blowing, but that some grey colored matter was slowly converging in the center of the pit from all sorts of directions in the place of extreme earth.
The concentration of the essence of earth qi was a indicator that the formation was complete. Han Shuo broke out in a grin when he saw this situation take place, and then immediately used necromancy magic to summon zombie warriors.
Three zombie warriors suddenly appeared in front of Han Shuo. Theoretically speaking, any zombie warrior would have the chance to become an immensely powerful earth elite zombie with the particular preparation in the place of extreme earth. However, if the conditions of the main ingredient, the zombie warriors, was better all around, it would naturally have a greater chance of becoming an earth elite zombie.
Taking in a deep breath, Han Shuo once again summoned three zombie warriors. When six zombie warriors appeared, Han Shuo gave them the order to attack each other. He wasn’t sure which zombie warrior was better, thus the order for them to attack each other was the simplest and most effective method.
His brow furrowed in concentration, Han Shuo watched the struggle between the six zombie warriors with with glittering eyes. He immediately ordered them to stop after a few minutes because his eyes had lit upon one of the zombie warriors with the bulkiest build. His battle strength seemed to be a bit stronger. If he allowed them to continue fighting, this zombie would undoubtedly be in tattered pieces afterwards. This would obviously impact the refinement of the earth zombie afterwards.
All was in readiness now as Han Shuo once again ran over everything that he needed to pay particular attention to in his mind. He cast his eye over everything in the place of extreme earth with his astounding powers of observation. He gave the order to the zombie warrior after he was certain that he hadn’t missed any details. The zombie warrior slowly shuffled into the pit in the place of extreme earth.
Summoning the little skeleton, Han Shuo made his way slowly towards the village where the forest trolls lived. Several forest trolls walked out in full battle gear when they reached the outskirts. When the forest trolls saw Han Shuo and the little skeleton, they all cheered in unison and cried out, “Datara!”, welcoming Han Shuo and the little skeleton into the village with great fanfare.
When he walked over, Han Shuo saw that the forest trolls around them were all holding weapons, ready to fight at a moment’s notice. Even the forest troll women and elders in the distance were holding weapons as they prepared food.
When he paid attention, he noticed that the numbers of forest trolls within the village were more than the amount that had been present when he left last time. He made a rough estimation and determined that there were at least eight hundred adult forest trolls that could wage war. That was three hundred more than the amount that had been present when Han Shuo had come last time.
However, it was obvious that the forest troll didn’t have enough weapons and equipment to use. Some of the forest trolls in the back were holding only crude clubs or even rocks, with some metallic weapons spotted with rust dotting the crowd. Some were even starting to munch on tree bark and weeds. It looks like they were also short on rations.
