Corpse Explosion.

Necromancer's signature spell, one could learn it as long as one reached level 4.

The principle was to use mental strength and mana to pry the negative energy from the newly dead body, causing it to explode due to energy imbalance.

Therefore, the first requirement for Corpse Explosion was a corpse that had been dead for no more than five minutes. Fresh bodies teetered on the balance of life and death.

That was why a small imbalance in the energy could release such a shocking explosive force.

When a Necromancer who was proficient in Corpse Explosion reached the 2nd rank…

He had the opportunity to learn an advanced spell called " Corpse Explosion Chain."

This skill could give Corpse Explosion a powerful buff. The corpse of a creature killed by Corpse Explosion would have a 50% chance of automatically creating another Corpse Explosion.

Coincidentally.

Matthew had mastered this technique a year ago.

Coincidentally.

Each of the Violent Zerg Infected Ones and Violent Zerg Guards was infested with countless Violent Zerg Larva. In terms of chaining Corpse Explosion, these larvae perfectly played the role of connectors.

The damage of a single Corpse Explosion wasn't great, but the health points of the Zerg Larva were even lower. They were almost instantly killed.

And each larva would be treated as a single unit to increase the probability of a chain Corpse Explosion greatly!

That's why.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

After the first explosion sounded from the damp and dark cave, the continuous explosions sounded like firecrackers during the Spring Festival in Matthew's previous life.

The haze of negative energy continued to rise from the cave.

They looked like little mushroom clouds.

The high-intensity chain explosions also inevitably caused abnormal airflow in the cave.

Even though the three of them were within the protective spell, they could feel the wind whistling past them.

Ella staggered.

If Matthew hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed her…

She was almost swept away!

Rumble!

The serial corpse explosions caused the stone wall to collapse.

For a moment, a strong wind blew, and white smoke billowed.

A large number of Zergs died in the explosion.

In the midst of the chaos.

Samantha saw the arrogant guard who had ambushed and chased her!

It originally wanted to rely on its thick skin to pass through the area with the most intense explosion.

However, a series of mournful wails followed.

Its bloated and huge body fell down uncontrollably.

In the end.

In the purgatory of negative energy woven by white bones and gray fog, the Zerg Guard had also contributed its body to the Corpse Explosion feast!

Boom!

The huge body exploded.

All the creatures within 20 meters of it were blasted into pieces!

Matthew estimated that after the big guy exploded, the number of Zergs present had already decreased by more than half.

However, the Corpse Explosion continued.

Slowly, the loud explosion chain turned into occasional explosions.

20 minutes later.

Matthew used the " Arcane Missile " that came with his charged staff to deal with the stragglers that escaped the explosion.

The terrifying corpse explosion finally stopped.

The wind slowed down slightly, and the white smoke sank.

The three of them walked out of the range of the gradually dimming Rune of Guard.

In front of them was a mess.

A large amount of debris was mixed together.

Minced meat, broken bones, eyeballs, nails, hair, fascia, internal organs, stones, gold coins, clothes...

A large amount of blood and pus sprayed on the stone walls in all directions.

The air was filled with a nauseating smell.

Even with Matthew's mental fortitude, he almost couldn't resist the urge to retch.

Ella flew away without a sound.

Samantha, on the other hand.

Perhaps it was because she often fought with the Zergs. Her resistance to such bloody scenes was obviously stronger.

She walked around the scene of the corpse explosion with a calm expression, checking to see if there were any stragglers left.

Only when she saw the parts left behind by the Zerg Guards did she slightly frown.

On the other side of the battlefield.

Matthew met up with Soldier and counted the few spoils of war and losses.

In terms of losses, except for Soldier, all eleven skeleton soldiers became triggers for the explosion.

This was what Matthew had accumulated in Rolling Stone Town for a long time. It was impossible to say that he did not feel heartache, but skeleton soldiers were essentially cannon fodder.

There weren't many spoils of war either. There weren't many good items on the Zerg race, and they were bombarded repeatedly by the Corpse Explosion Spell indiscriminately. The items that survived the explosions were of high quality.

Matthew found a sapphire ring, a card that looked like an access card, and a psionic staff the length of an arm.

The sapphire ring was not only beautiful but it was also enchanted with a spiderweb spell. Unfortunately, it was not of a high grade and could only be cast once a day.

There was no clue as to the origin of the card, but Matthew noticed that the emblem of the Antu Empire was engraved on the lower right corner of one of the cards. This could be a certificate to enter an important laboratory.

As for the last psionic staff, because it was in an unappraised state, Matthew habitually activated an identification skill on it after he obtained it.

..

[Appraisal failed! You are unable to learn the attributes and usage of the Psionic Staff!]

[Hint: You need higher knowledge (Psi)]

..

'I failed?'

Matthew raised his eyebrows, and then he felt a headache.

Most items related to psionic power could only be used after being appraised.

In order to appraise such items, the user of the identification skill had to have a high level of psionic knowledge.

However, psionic knowledge usually came from items related to psionic power.

It could be said to be a perfect closed loop.

However, Matthew was not discouraged.

He still had an Advanced Identification Scroll gifted by Master Ronan at home, which should be able to identify this staff.

The only thing he needed to consider was whether this staff was worthy of the Advanced Identification Scroll.

Matthew gently stroked the amber stone embellished with light blue on the psionic staff.

For a moment, he could not make up his mind.

"What an impressive explosion. Your strength has exceeded my expectations.

"To be honest, you've helped me a lot. Under normal circumstances, it would have taken me a lot of effort to get away." Samantha's voice sounded.

Matthew put away his staff and said calmly, "This is nothing. They are also my targets."

Samantha stared at Matthew with her bright eyes. "But I made you lose a team of skeleton soldiers. I owe you this."

Matthew waved his hand. "It's just a team of skeleton soldiers. Don't worry about it."

"No, this is very important. I'm thinking of a way to make it up to you." Samantha's eyes were bright. "Or you can try to make some requests, but I might not be able to satisfy all of them."

Matthew thought about it. "Maybe we can work together? This hive is huge, and we haven't even explored a third of its surface. As moonwalkers, we have the same goal."

Samantha shook her head without hesitation."No, I won't cooperate with you!"

Before Matthew could say anything.

She spoke first, "How about this? I might not be able to accept your request, so I've decided to return a team of skeleton soldiers to you. Eli and I killed a lot of infected people, and their bodies were buried in specific locations on each floor after being processed. I think those materials should be enough for you."

That was fine too.

Matthew was not unhappy about being rejected.

He looked at Samantha curiously and asked, "Why did you reject me? Just because I'm a necromancer?"

Samantha said honestly, "I'm sorry, but I really don't want to work with a necromancer. It goes against my nature."

Matthew couldn't help but laugh. "Are nature souls all so narrow-minded?"

Samantha was stunned.

" What right do you have to expel the Undead from nature?" Matthew asked righteously.

"Can't undead creatures be a part of nature?

"Is your understanding of nature a concept instilled into you by those conservative and backward existences who hold power?

"If that's the case, then I really don't want to cooperate with you. Your understanding of nature is too shallow."

"What? What are you talking about?" Samantha asked in shock. "How could Her Highness the Goddess allow you to say such blasphemous words?"

Blasphemy?

Was this level of challenge considered blasphemy?

Matthew now had a new understanding of the Moonwalker's mind.

In fact.

Matthew didn't care if the Goddess of the Moonlight would punish him or not. Not to mention that she had a favor to ask of him, even without the pressure of the Violent Zerg, it was uncertain whether she had the ability to punish him or not!

After all, according to the information he had learned from Master Ronan, it had been hundreds of years since the famous event, the ascension of the Heavenly Family Palace. The influence of the gods on the material plane could be said to be negligible.

Not to mention the human countries, even the elves who were relatively devout in their beliefs, had already gone against the will of the gods. Only conservative and backward groups like the Druids still maintained a relatively fixed belief.

"Since there's no room for cooperation, I'll leave first." Matthew yawned and prepared to go home. "Remember to bring me to the skeleton material the next time we meet!

" Finally, let me share my own understanding. For me, nature is all-inclusive. It doesn't only include the narrow embodiment that humans can see but also the truth of the universe."

Samantha stared at Matthew, her expression changing.

Matthew didn't say anything else and disappeared.

Samantha did not leave.

She paced back and forth.

Her gaze was erratic.

Not long after.

Footsteps came from the cave behind her.

"Sorry, I'm late. Did something happen here?" Eli asked apologetically.

Samantha hesitated for a moment and repeated Matthew's words.

After hearing this, Eli was furious. "Not only is he blaspheming God, but he is also blaspheming nature! How could dirty undead creatures be considered a part of nature? He's just waxing tales!

"And he's just a mere 2nd-rank necromancer. How can he have the cheek to talk about the universe? If he were in our Earth Society, a person like him would have been robbed of everything and exiled to the underground of the Far East!"

Eli cursed at him fiercely.

Samantha was surprisingly silent.

Time passed.

Eli's heart skipped a beat. "Samantha, don't tell me you believe his nonsense?"

Samantha hurriedly shook her head. "How is that possible? I'm just thinking about how to repay him! After all, he saved my life just now."

Eli heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. "If he really saved your life, then we should have done something to repay him. I have some leftovers. You can give them to him as compensation."

Then, he said in a reproachful tone, "Next time when I'm not around, don't take risks alone."

Samantha replied casually, "Got it."

Eli asked excitedly, "Then let's continue?"

Samantha hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "No, I'm injured and a little tired. I'll call it a night. See you next time, Eli."

With that, she disappeared.

Only Eli was left standing there, confused.
