nMy Job

n..

n“The male Druid who was hostile to me just now, he’s not from the Moonlight Society, right?”

nThe tunnel was filled with water.

nMatthew asked as he lifted his pants.

n“Of course, he’s from the Earth Society. I’ve never seen him before, so I guess Samantha asked him to help.” Ella said happily, “Fortunately, Samantha held him back!”

nMatthew smiled. “Indeed.”

nElla obviously didn’t understand what Matthew meant.

nShe chattered about the story of the Ancient Tiger, Ell.

n..

n“Eli is an orphan. A long time ago, his parents had provoked an enemy and were chased to the west of the Guardian Highland near Storm Valley.

n“In order to buy time, Eli’s father died.

n“Meanwhile, Eli’s mother carried him in his swaddling clothes and crawled into the tiger cave to avoid the pursuit of his enemies.”

n..

n” Unfortunately, his mother was injured, and she died after climbing into the cave. Before she died, she saw an aggressive but exhausted tiger.

n“Eli’s mother said to the tiger, ‘Eating me is enough for you to fill your stomach. Please let my child go!’

n“And so, the tiger silently ate her.

n“The entire process, she didn’t make a sound. Perhaps she fainted from the pain, or perhaps she was already dead.

n“In short, Eli, who had memories of his childhood, witnessed this process.

n“It was hard to imagine how he felt when he recalled this matter!”

n..

n” After eating Eli’s mother, the tiger took Eli to the depths of the cave. There, Eli found two tiger cubs that had their eyes closed.

n“That’s right.

n“The tigress had just given birth. She was very weak and urgently needed to replenish her energy.

n“If it wasn’t for Eli’s mother, she might have left the cave to look for food. Even if Storm Valley was the tiger’s territory, it was still a very dangerous thing.

n“The tigress, who had recovered her strength, began to feed her cubs.

n“Eli also had a share.

n“I believe you can guess the story behind it. Eli was raised by the tigress and received the favor of the God of Earth in the process.

n“His first wild transformation was a fierce tiger. Later on, through various fortuitous encounters, he mastered the transformation technique of the Saber-toothed Tiger and the legendary creature, the Ancient Tiger!

n“His combat power was extremely terrifying and could not be measured by a normal Tier 3. Therefore, people had given him the title of a Tier 4 Shapeshifter in advance, which was the Ancient Tiger!”

n..

nMatthew nodded his head after listening.

n“A very rough life.

n“Then did he help his parents take revenge?”

nElla thought for a moment and said uncertainly,

n“I don’t know. I think so.

n“In short, he is very powerful. If you meet him underground in the future, it is best to avoid him.”

nMatthew didn’t say anything.

nHis eyes were staring ahead.

nAll the skeleton soldiers stopped in their tracks.

n“Drip! Drip! Drip! Drip!”

nThe sound of water dripping from the cave on the left was disturbing.

nAnd in that deathly silent atmosphere.

nThe air in all directions suddenly became slightly agitated!

n“Matthew!”

nElla belatedly exclaimed, “They’re coming!”

nHowever, before she could finish her sentence.

nMatthew’s robe instantly bulged and folded.

nIn the next second.

nHe turned into a raven and flew away!

n“Hey, Matthew, wait for me!”

nElla was so anxious that her voice turned hoarse.

nLike Matthew, she landed on a horizontal stone pillar.

nWhen she looked down again.

nOne after another, rat-sized Zerg Larva emerged from the darkness.

nThey crawled like silkworms, their bodies covered in purple-green pus, and their speed was faster than ordinary people!

n“Matthew!” Ella couldn’t help but scream, “The most terrifying thing about the Zerg Larva is its parasitism. As long as you wound them even a little, they can consume any living thing with parasites!

n“We’re finished!”

nThe battle below became more and more chaotic.

nThere were more than a dozen larvae dealing with each skeleton soldier!

nJust as Ella was burning with anxiety, Matthew finally said, “Other than infection and parasitism, what other abilities do they have?”

nElla was stunned.

n“Isn’t this scary enough?”

nMatthew looked at her as if she was an idiot.

n“It is indeed terrifying to living creatures, but my summons are all undead!

n“Can these bugs infect skeletons?”

nAs if to confirm Matthew’s words.

nSuddenly, there was a sound from below!

nThe two lowered their heads and looked down.

nA fist-sized larva crawled onto the knee of a skeleton soldier.

nIts body rapidly shriveled.

nAt the same time.

nA large amount of pus came out of the larva’s body and covered the bones tightly.

n“Chirp chirp…”

nA sound similar to a mouse’s cry was heard, and more larvae gathered.

nThey rushed to the place where the pus was flowing and were eager to give it a try.

nHowever, in the next second.

nA sharp sword descended from the sky.

nWhoosh!

nThe blade sliced through the larvae’ bodies like tofu, and the pus exploded like juice!

nSkeleton soldiers did not use any skills.

nIt only slashed its sword back and forth at the place where the larvae gathered, and a large number of larvae died!

nAfter it was done, it even touched its knees.

nAfter wiping off the pus, its bones were as bright as new.

n..

nHint: Your summoned creature is immune to the infection of the Zerg Larva!

n..

nYour summoned creature, Skeleton No.3, has killed 13 Zerg Larva. Your XP 13 (EXP accumulated…).”

n..

nThe battle continued noisily.

nMatthew sat on the wall and watched.

nSummoning his underlings to fight while eating popcorn was the greatest pleasure for a necromancer!

nMoreover, from the moment the first Skeleton soldier raised his dagger, the outcome of this encounter had already been decided.

nJust as Ella had said, the most terrifying thing about Zerg Larva was its pervasive infectious ability.

nAgainst this kind of infection, even high resilience might not be enough to resist it.

nThis creature was the nightmare of all living creatures.

nHowever, it was different for the undead creatures.

nYou couldn’t infect a skeleton with parasites.

nWithout the biggest threat, the Zerg Larva was essentially no different from a larger rat.

nNo matter how slow the skeleton soldier’s reaction was, it could still kill a few insects with a single slash.

nWhat was more interesting was that the Zerg Larva lacked intelligence. They seemed to be unable to judge the situation on the field and could only rely on their instincts.

nThe battle was clearly one-sided, but they were still pouncing on the skeleton soldiers one after another.

nAfter a short 15 minutes.

nThere were more than a hundred corpses of Zerg Larva on the ground!

nMatthew’s skeleton soldiers were almost unharmed. The reason for the word ‘almost’ was because one of the skeleton soldiers had twisted its ankle when it was cutting the bugs.

nHowever, it was a skeleton.

nSo Matthew could just twist it back after the incident.

nAfter this battle.

nMatthew found that most of the skeleton soldiers’ soul fire had condensed a little!

nUndead creatures could also increase their strength through fighting and killing, but the progress was not obvious.

nMatthew was busy planting trees every day, so the skeleton soldiers had been ignored.

nNow that he finally had a chance to show off his skills, Matthew was quite satisfied with the result.

n..

n‘So is this the goddess’ scheme? The undead creatures seemed to have a natural counter to the Zerg race that caused this place to wither and decay!’

nMatthew thought.

nHe didn’t stay here for too long. After resting for a while, he ordered Soldier to continue leading the team deeper.

nMatthew and Ella were flying above, observing and commanding.

nThe road was smooth.

nOther than the two infected humans on the third level, they smooth-sailing.

nThe skeleton soldiers killed all the enemies without any injuries and emptied all the hives along the way!

nAlthough there weren’t any large spoils of war, the occasional dozens of gold coins and the XP that allowed the Skeleton Soldiers to level up quickly made Matthew feel that this trip was worth it.

nAs for the two infected bodies…

nOne of them was ambushed by Soldier when they first met. The latter cut half of his body with a short knife, instantly making him lose his combat ability.

nThe other one fought a straggling skeleton soldier. The fight was intense. The strength of the infected body was shocking. By the time Soldier and the other skeleton soldiers arrived, the skeleton had been mostly torn apart.

nThis was also the first casualty Matthew had encountered while exploring the cave.

n..

n“What should we do? Matthew, you’re missing a skeleton. Should we continue?”

nElla asked nervously.

nThey were now close to the entrance of the fourth level.

nAccording to Ella.

nFrom the fourth level onwards, this kind of wild infection would become common. Of course, it was not necessarily the infection of humans but more of all kinds of animals.

nThe infected body had the infection ability of a larva, strong strength, and good melee skills. Druids recognized them as troublesome creatures.

n“What missing skeleton?”

nMatthew chuckled. Then, he took out his Withered Wood Staff and chanted at one of the Infected Bodies.

nVery quickly.

nUnder Ella’s surprised gaze.

nA staggering skeleton soldier stood up from the pool of red and green blood.

n“So as long as there are corpses, you can summon skeletons endlessly, right?” Ella’s eyes widened.

n“I guess so.” Matthew added in his heart, ‘The key is still my upper limit for summoned creatures.’

n“Alright, let’s treat it as defeating evil with evil…” Ella muttered.

nMatthew looked at her silently.

nShe hurriedly said, “Then let’s hurry to the next level!”

nMatthew shook his head. “No, today’s mission ends here.”

nElla was stunned. “Why? Did my words offend you? Uh, I’m sorry, Matthew. I apologize to you. I can finally understand the Goddess’ wisdom. Necromancers are indeed more suitable for killing bugs than Druids!”

nMatthew yawned. “No, it has nothing to do with that. There are only four hours left before dawn. I have to rush home to sleep now. I still have to wake up early tomorrow!”

n“Wake up early? Why did you wake up early?”

nElla didn’t understand.

n“Planting trees!” Matthew said confidently. “Don’t you know that’s my job?!”

n..

nThe next evening.

nMatthew simply refused the eager Ella outside the door.

nHe sat down by the bed.

nSoldier’s figure slowly appeared in the corner of the room.

nMatthew checked the progress of the planting mission.

nIn the past week, he had worked overtime and planted a total of 104 trees, which naturally corresponded to 10 strengthening opportunities.

nHe didn’t hesitate and threw everything onto Soldier!

nTen rays of light flashed, and Soldiers leveled up three times, reaching Level 9!

nThere were also seven new keywords.

nFour of them were blue and white keywords.

n..

nYour summoned creature, Soldier, has received keywords: Shadowstrike (Blue)

/Poison (Blue)

/Farming Technique (White)

/ Nurture The Children (White).”
