“Ding!”

“Notifications: Hero Trial has begun. The trialists must lead their team to the specified location within six hours and defeat the targeted enemies to pass the trial.”

“Notification: Target enemies are of high power level, but there are some troop reinforcement nodes and resource supply points within the map. The trialists can explore them as you see fit.”

“Notification: During the trial, the trialist will be granted temporary Hero Powers.”

The notification sounded in Mu Yuan’s ears and in the hearts of the trialists.

However, if the intelligence of the trial troops is not enough, how much of the rule notifications they can understand is debatable.

Mu Yuan looked at this group of Undead and could discern from their appearance and weaponry:

“Five Skeleton Warriors, five Ghosts, ten Ghouls, ten Skeleton Archers, and ten Zombies, a total of 4.0 troop units.”

“Among them, Skeleton Warriors and ghosts are peak powers of professional level, while the rest of the Undead have just entered the professional level.”

This level is actually not high. Mu Yuan guessed it was a balanced adjustment made by the Hero Trial rule based on the level of the Dead Bone.

But perhaps the Trial Space didn’t expect a troop to undertake Hero Trials without having reached the official tier yet.

“Based on the notification, the forces of the Dead Bone currently command might have a hard time defeating the target enemy. They need to recruit as many troops as possible and enhance their strength during the journey.”

Mu Yuan judged.

The Dead Bone also judged.

As a temporary hero, it can access specific information about all its troops with a single thought.

“The feature of a Ghoul is…”

“The characteristic of Zombies is… they are good at resisting the enemy, but their defect is slow movement speed, and more than that…”

The most severely injured are these Zombies. Their leg injuries make their already slow movement speed even slower, like a turtle crawl.

At this speed, it would take at least 5 hours to reach the designated location. Time is very tight, and it is difficult to detour to other resource nodes on the way.

But if they abandon the injured zombies, it means losing some troops even before the fight starts.

What should they do?

This is the first test of the trial—choice!

Both options have their pros and cons, and the trialists need to weigh them based on their own situation. But if the trial soldiers only have a slight amount of intelligence, it would puzzle them, causing the Lord to waste a precious chance for a tip interference.

The Emperor Dead Bone, of course, wants them all.

It lightly raised its hand, black mist swirling in its palm and spreading all around, covering all undead troops in an instant.

In a moment, except for the broken equipment, the undead troops are as good as new.

General Dead Bone nodded contentedly, and all the undead set off at full speed.

“On the map, the position of the final BOSS is clearly marked. It only marks the final BOSS, and all other resource supply points, troop reinforcement points etc., need to be explored by the trialists.”

“Compared to other trial troops, the strength of the Dead Bone is definitely at a disadvantage… this requires it to recruit more troops.”

On this point, he believes General Dead Bone can also judge clearly.

While Dead Bone was marching briskly, it had time to explore its surroundings.

However, there are many guarding monsters of various strengths around the troop supply points and resource points in the area. If they encounter a strong guardian monster and lose troops, it will be even more impossible to defeat the final BOSS.

There are some areas where there are only monsters but no guarding treasure.

This requires trialists to have sufficient command, scouting capability and judgment ability.

In this type of trial test, the Lords usually use a lot of tips at this stage to help their troops make the most accurate judgment and enhance their power as much as possible.

Lord Shepherd also did a lot of analysis and prepared to give the General some tips.

But,

Watching Dead Bone’s careful yet decisive maneuver, he silently withdrew his prepared interference chance.

“This Dead Bone lad, his judgment isn’t inferior to mine.”

Just as Mu Yuan predicted, Dead Bone once again chose to keep everything.

Through aerial overview and sending cannon fodder to scout, it explored every monster-guarded area and started to attack from the lower-level areas.

One after another.

Even the monster areas without treasures were eliminated by it.

Because,

Crack crack-!

Under the black mist of Undead Resurrection, skeleton monsters of various strange shapes, all massive in size, rose from the heaps of bodies, and their soul flames glowed dimly.

They were not truly undead troops and their existence would be limited in time, but… in a trial that lasted only six hours, that was more than enough.

After crushing special potions to replenish his energy, General Dead Bone continued to advance.

‘Your quasi-hero Dead Bone has resurrected ‘Skeleton Monster X23.’

‘Your quasi-hero Dead Bone has replenished ‘Skeleton Soldier X15.’

‘Your quasi-hero Dead Bone has added powerful troops ‘Abomination xl.’

‘Your quasi-hero Dead Bone has revived ‘Skeleton Warrior xl’, ‘Skeleton Archer X3-‘

When the time approached five hours, the number of troops General Dead Bone had exceeded too units, and he brought back to life more than three hundred skeleton monsters.

This massive undead army marched straight towards their goal, to slay the final BOSS.

“Roar-!”

The targeted strong enemy let out a sky-shaking roar.

This was a terrifying monster, as tall as three to four stories, seemingly constructed from countless large rocks.

A Rocky Giant of excellent tier!

And it was of a pretty high level!

But at this moment, this Rocky Giant was somewhat stupefied, with widened eyes: isn’t your number a bit off?

It roared, a large rock was formed between its raised arms, which it hurled at the incoming undead army.

Boom –

The ground trembled, and one after another, the undead were crushed and shattered.

But this was within General Dead Bone’s expectations. Under his control, the troops and skeleton monsters were quickly dispersed, attacking from all directions.

Much ants can kill an elephant!

This was supposed to be a ground-shaking battle, with the strongest trialist attracting the Rocky Giant’s fire, while other troops continuously hit and run, until the enemy was killed.

It was supposed to be like this.

Boom –

The Rocky Giant’s body was full of cracks, and it looked down at its surroundings.

Nearly all the skeleton monsters had been wiped out, and only three to four dozen undead troops were left.

Its battle record was illustrious! And even in defeat, it held honor!

Humm –

Black mist drifted, casting a dark shadow over the surroundings. Under this shadow, the bodies of the broken undead troops, their soul flames extinguished, stood up again.

In the blink of an eye, the troop was as before.

They were guarding Emperor Dead Bone, who was holding a potion in his hand.

Rocky Giant:”!!!”

Its end came uneasily.

Mu Yuan was pleased when he heard the sound of the rules’ announcement.

‘Ding!’

‘Announcement: Your troop ‘Dead Bone’ has cleared the Hero Trial.’

‘Trial summary: ®In this trial, the quasi-hero ‘Dead Bone’ killed 188 guardian monsters, occupied 11 supply points, and the map exploration degree exceeded 90%; ©It took the quasi-hero ‘Dead Bone’ 5 hours and 15 minutes to kill the final strong enemy, and 123 undead troops remained, making the army’s combat power grow instead of decrease; ©During this trial, no lord hints were consumed; ®     ‘

‘Evaluation settlement in progress…’

‘Announcement: The evaluation of this Hero Trial is ‘Perfect.’

‘Announcement: Hero Baptism is falling….’
