Chapter 48 The Earth Spirit is also an Earth Elf
Ruo Wei couldn't sleep well because a group of strong thieves from the earth spirits sneaked into the valley at midnight.
It seems that those powerful earth spirits did not expect that the mountain valley, which should have been empty of people, would be reoccupied by humans.
However, when the strong thieves discovered Rovy and the dying bonfire, Rovy's undead servants had already sensed the smell of blood on them and launched an attack.
First to fall was a luckless earth spirit, which had been shot by a skull shortbowman. Its luck was really too bad, as the skull shortbowman's arrow, which was quite inaccurate, somehow managed to hit its throat.
The earth spirit that was shot in the throat stretched out its hand and pulled out the white bone arrow from its throat, but fresh blood immediately gushed out with a gurgling sound. With each breath of the earth spirit, more bubbles emerged from the wound that wouldn't stop bleeding.
So this unlucky earth spirit soon fell into the pool of blood it had created itself.
The taste of fresh blood stimulated the other undead servants of Lord Lovi, who had only recently been awakened as an undead and appeared unchanged on the surface due to massive replenishment of zombie soul fire, but was actually full of power. Zombie Nelson, wielding a broadsword, charged forward towards the gathered earth element thieves.
Behind Zombie Lord Nelson, Tyrant swung his fists like a maul, while Skeleton Warrior Obama followed close behind with a rattling rush.
The next moment, a miserable cry echoed from the group of earth spirits. However, the earth spirits, who were only slightly stronger than ordinary people, how could they be the opponents of the three fierce undead led by Zombie Lord Nelson?
As expected, after six of their companions were knocked down, the remaining Earth Elementals chose to retreat without hesitation.
These bandit creatures, although limited in intelligence, immediately turn around and flee without hesitation when the battle is unfavorable. While escaping, they still trip each other up, and as long as they can outrun their teammates, it's all good - a rhythm of pig teammates that leaves Luo Wei in awe.
Skeleton Shortbowman Robin Hood attempted to snipe the fleeing Earth Spirit, but unlike its stunning first shot, it missed with several consecutive bone arrows - this thing's archery skills are truly a waste of the good name Robin Hood.
After realizing that all the Golems had escaped from the attack range, Skeleton Shortbowman Robin Hood put away his white bone shortbow and walked forward in a daze. He walked to the front of the Golem he had shot and killed with one arrow, knelt down on one knee, and placed his hand on the opponent's neck wound which was still spurting blood.
Bright red blood, quickly seeped into the bony hand that Robin Hood placed on the wound of the earth spirit, then thread after thread of red lines wrapped and wove upwards, extending all the way to the inside of Robin Hood's skull.
These are the skull-type undead who cannot swallow the flesh and blood of the living, a way to absorb the essence of the dead.
Not far from the skull-archer Robin Hood, Zombie Lord Nelson, Ghoul Tyrant and Skeleton Swordsman Obama each occupied a corpse of an Earth Spirit. The first two were devouring the flesh and blood of the Earth Spirit, while Skeleton Swordsman Obama inserted his white bone long sword into a corpse of an Earth Spirit to absorb the essence of the dead Earth Spirit's flesh and blood through the sword.
"Even if there's a big character added in front of its name, is it still just a earth spirit?"
Luovi withdrew his gaze, and he was still not quite used to the scene of zombies eating people. Fortunately, now that he was a living person, he had lost his dark vision, otherwise what he saw would have made him even more nauseous.
However, Luo Wei, who didn't consider the earth spirit as human, after feeding his undead servants to their fill, ordered them to drag several large earth spirit corpses together and then cast "Awakening of the Undead" with the earth spirit corpses as targets.
The awakened golems' corpses wobbled to their feet, but soon their undead soulfire was stripped away, becoming a nourishing feed for the masses of undead servants that Roviel force-fed them, as well as stored in Sanriel's secret vaults as "backup energy".
As for the corpse of the earth spirit that had been deprived of its soul fire, Luo Wei did not do anything blasphemous to it, but instead let Talant dig another hole and bury the body again.
Although nothing else happened that night, Rovi slept soundly until dawn in a more sheltered spot.
"I hate adventuring in the primeval jungle."
Rovie muttered to himself, and after finishing his collection, he set out on the road again. He tried to follow the faint trail to find where the defeated Blood Blade bandits had moved their lair, and what they were hiding.
It seems that those Blood Reaver thieves didn't have the slightest awareness of erasing their tracks, so even Rovi, a former forensic doctor who had never learned tracking skills, was able to easily find the route the Blood Reaver thieves took when they retreated.
But this road was not easy to walk, because in the short hours from dawn till noon, Luo Wei encountered three waves of Goblin raids.
Those local land spirits were like leeks that could be cut and regrow quickly, although they would scatter after a few of them were killed each time, but it wouldn't take long for a new group to emerge trying to plot against Luo Wei.
Exasperated Rovy found an opportunity to release a burst of ice spears, turning over ten large earth elementals that were habitually gathered together into corpses.
The effect of the ice spear was obvious, but it didn't work... However, in a short while, there were more than ten large earthworms nearby, carefully poking their heads out and looking for an opportunity to strike.
Those damned earth elementals, unlike human soldiers, were not organized or disciplined. Their so-called cautious probing was simply a blatant display, and if Lovi was willing, he could easily kill those annoying green-skinned creatures with ice guns.
But the problem is that the magic infused in the Black Ice Choker is limited, and using it once on these insignificant earth elementals would be equivalent to losing one chance of saving oneself or turning defeat into victory.
So, although he was annoyed to death, after confirming that the earth essence couldn't be killed or cut off, Luo Wei could only hate it with his teeth itching while controlling several undead followers not to make a wrong move, waiting for the earth essences to enter an extremely close distance before making a defensive counterattack.
"These damned green-skinned dwarves, have they all gone mad?"
By noon, Rovin, who had already killed more than fifty Golems, couldn't help but let out such a sigh.
Luovi thought that if he didn't master the undead magic, and had an undead servant to guard him day and night, and could devour soul fire to quickly replenish his magic, he would absolutely be worn to death by the endless green-skinned earth elementals!
Luoyi really couldn't understand why these damned earth spirits, after being killed so many times, still stubbornly followed him. Did they not know how to write the word "death"?!
"Annoyed yet delighted" is a true portrayal of his mood, the vengeful spirits that linger behind him are quite annoying, but killing the Earth Essence can slowly increase his own strength and that of his undead servants, which makes Luo Wei's mood rather good.
Luo Wei couldn't bring himself to kill a human being, but when it came to killing the humanoid creature known as the Great Earth Spirit, he didn't have any psychological barriers.
But anyway, those damned green-skinned dwarves... why won't they just disappear?
