The Scourge of the Undead: Starting with Building Monster Farms

Chapter 42 Goodbye to the Skeleton Wandering Merchant

"This ability is really useful!"

Su He was very satisfied with the effect of the obsidian magic.

Although the damage has not yet been tested, the spell, which only costs ten obsidian, is already worth more than its price.

I took out a diamond pickaxe and tested the magically generated obsidian; its hardness was exactly the same as that of ordinary obsidian.

However, over time, these magically generated obsidian stones will slowly develop cracks and eventually disintegrate and dissipate on their own.

From its formation to its self-destruction, the magically formed obsidian can last for about five minutes.

Su He continued to try to amplify his spellcasting by consuming obsidian. The duration of the obsidian generated by the magic was directly extended to thirty minutes, a six-fold increase.

After casting the Obsidian spell, your personal magic gauge will slowly and automatically regenerate if you do not cast any spells for a period of time.

The price for restoring this magic is one's own satiety level.

This expenditure is negligible for Su He, who now has no worries about food.

At most, it's just that the skill has a brief cooldown period, requiring him to stop casting to recover.

Compared to the combat power provided by obsidian magic, this negative impact is completely negligible.

The obsidian magic gauge has a considerable capacity, enough to cast obsidian spells multiple times in a row.

In order to test the true power of the obsidian magic, Su He searched everywhere and soon found a wild white rabbit as his test subject.

The obsidian, created using obsidian magic, completely enveloped the little white creature, trapping its body within the obsidian.

As soon as Xiaobai was touched by the obsidian, its health plummeted by half. Finally, under the continuous corrosive effect of the obsidian's poisonous buff, it turned into several bones and fell to the ground.

The fact that this obsidian magic could instantly kill a low-aptitude level 4 beginner shows that its power is quite remarkable.

Su He was filled with anticipation, looking forward to the obsidian magic showing even stronger effects in the future.

"I wonder how much ore the monsters have mined. If the mining efficiency is decent, I'll send more monsters to join the obsidian mining team so I can unlock other obsidian magic as soon as possible."

Regarding the arrangement of the underground mine tunnels, Su He divided the monsters into different groups, each group was responsible for an area, and each group was also equipped with boxes for storing minerals.

This kind of mine planning not only makes the mine shafts well-organized, but also makes the quantity of materials produced in the mining area clear at a glance.

Just as Su He was excitedly preparing to check the monsters' harvest,

Turning around, I saw a skeletal monster, completely different from the ordinary white one, standing behind me.

The peculiar skeleton sat on the ground with its legs spread apart, a red silk scarf tied around its head.

The skeleton's face showed no emotion, but Su He had a strange feeling that the skeleton was angry with him.

It couldn't be because he killed that wild white rabbit just now, that would be too unlucky.

The moment Su He saw the skeleton, he recognized its identity.

It was the same wandering skeleton merchant as the musical skeleton from last time.

Just like the last one, this wandering skeleton merchant had laid out a blanket in front of him to display his goods for customers to choose from.

[Target: The Wandering Skeleton Merchant]

[Occupation: Fighter]

[Faction: Neutral]

[Qualifications: Excellent]

[Level: 4]

[HP: 200/200]

[Introduction: This is a wandering skeleton merchant. You can choose to trade with him or plunder him, but I don't recommend doing so.]

"Fighters? Their profession is different from that of the wandering merchant last time. The things they sell should also be different."

Su He was secretly calculating in his mind, his eyes quickly scanning the various goods sold by the wandering merchant.

The most valuable items on display were high-grade potions.

Unlike the previous skeleton wandering merchant, he didn't display any special trinkets on his stall.

Such as four-leaf clovers, bone rings, etc.

"A level four skeleton wandering merchant, and all his goods are so ordinary? That's unusual!"

"That level-two wandering merchant had quite a few good items. Could it be that this skeleton secretly hid all the valuable items?"

Su He muttered to himself, pondering why this skeleton merchant didn't have any high-quality goods.

At that moment, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.

"Could it be that it holds a grudge against me just because I killed a wild white kitten in front of it? That can't be true!"

Su He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Looking at the skeleton merchant in front of him, he felt that this reason was highly likely.

The fact that this wandering skeleton merchant would intentionally or unintentionally block Su He's view of what was behind him further confirms this point.

"Seriously, buddy? Even if you're upset that I killed your kind, you shouldn't be hiding the merchandise. You should be offering a clearance sale and begging to be let go!"

Su He couldn't understand the actions of this fighter-wandering skeleton merchant at all.

Perhaps it is because it is extremely confident in its own strength and has no fear of itself that it deliberately hides the good stuff and makes such a move?

Su He couldn't understand the skeleton merchant's logic, but he wasn't without other options.

He took out the badge left by the previous wandering skeleton merchant from his backpack and handed it to the fighter skeleton merchant.

The Fighter Skeleton Merchant was slightly taken aback when he saw the badge. After carefully verifying its authenticity, he looked up and returned the badge to Su He, then took out the goods hidden behind his back one by one.

Su He was fine when he didn't see the hidden items, but after seeing the goods clearly, he couldn't help but secretly complain.

This fighter skeleton merchant really didn't intend to sell himself a single high-quality item at first!

The first item the Fighter Merchant presented was a piece of equipment called the Diamond Fighter Breastplate.

Its effect is to provide the wearer with a strength bonus of 3 when worn.

It can significantly increase damage output, but its defense is slightly weaker than that of regular diamond armor.

The surface of the combat armor was covered with scratches left from countless battles.

In addition, this equipment has a unique special effect that can grant the user a "Warlike" buff, which is only triggered and takes effect during combat.

After triggering the "Warlike" buff, the user's melee damage will be further increased, but at the cost of eroding sanity and making people act impulsively and recklessly.

Priced at forty emeralds.

After seeing the effect, Su He silently commented, "Definitely classic berserker equipment."

It's not suitable for him, but he can buy it and leave it for his subordinate monsters.

Su He didn't rush to look at other items. He first exchanged all the emeralds available from the skeleton merchant and bought the berserker breastplate.

Then he asked how long the other party could stay this time.

The fighter-merchant hesitated for a moment, then made the number thirty on the ground. Upon seeing this, Su He quickly left the area.
