CHAPTER 303: CHAPTER 303: CORPSE CONTROL TECHNIQUE FINALLY COMES IN HANDY!

"Teleportation Talisman!" Hu Zhile’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Yun Shu, "If you can create Teleportation Talismans, you can earn lots and lots of Spirit Stones!"

"Really?" Yun Shu was also very happy, as the new knowledge she acquired today meant "money" to her; being able to earn more for her master was certainly something worth celebrating.

As a puppet, being useful meant she wouldn’t be abandoned!

She took the Teleportation Talisman, examined it carefully for a moment, and shook her head, "I’m really sorry, sir. This talisman requires Inch Bamboo Paper, cinnabar, powder made from dried Stealth Insects, and three parts of Flowing Grass Juice mixture; a brush filled with Spiritual Power is needed to write it."

The three of them were stunned upon hearing this.

"You can analyze the materials from just being given a talisman?!" Jiang Yuan was both surprised and delighted, initially thinking he had picked up a puppet that could only dance, sing, and occasionally electroshock fish, but now realized she was a potential Talisman Master!

Even Yun Shu was stunned for a moment, bewildered, "I don’t know. I just stared at it and the required materials naturally entered my mind. I really don’t know why."

"That’s not important! What’s important is with the materials, you can create talismans, which is already impressive!"

"Exactly, but the things Yun Shu mentioned are things I’ve never heard of, they should be quite difficult to find?"

"They’re indeed hard to find now, but as long as we find the materials in the future, we’ll have plenty of Teleportation Talismans to use." Jiang Yuan was so happy he couldn’t contain himself, put the Teleportation Talisman away, asked what they would like for dinner, and then went into the kitchen to make a meal.

[Cooking Skill upgraded to Level 5, Life Value +25]

After finishing the last dish of stewed chicken with mushrooms, the Cooking Skill, which had been progressing slowly, finally reached Level Five.

Jiang Yuan glanced at his skill page, even though the farmland harvest had the Automatic Harvester’s assistance and watering replaced by Xiao Bai spraying water, the main focus being on farming, the farmland area was large enough that even sowing could keep the Farming Skills from lagging behind.

Now lacking in logging and Collection Skills, ever since he assigned those tasks to his apprentices, he hadn’t chopped trees, bamboo, or collected herbs outdoors for a while.

To prevent getting stuck in the future, Jiang Yuan decided to continue exploring new instances tonight, chopping trees, cutting grass, and fighting monsters!

[Suffered from poisonous miasma attack, HP -2]

[Suffered from poisonous miasma attack, HP -1]

...

Without the Level Two Antitoxic Pill buff and only wearing the Breaking Miasma and Stabilizing Wind Pearl when entering the Misty Miasma Range, Jiang Yuan would receive poison gas invasion notices approximately every minute.

Luckily, he didn’t lose much HP, and in the Wilderness World, he gained 20 life points each day, so he could eat some chicken legs he carried around to replenish the lost health without worry.

He chopped trees for a while. When he was about to rest and cut grass, suddenly a rustling noise came from the towering wild grass.

A gigantic bird’s skull with only bones left stared at him with hollow eyes emitting streams of black miasma, exuding an air of majesty and a strong sense of terrifying oppression.

[Polluted Yu Hu: They were once the bravest warriors, guarding this ancient land. When the world collapsed and bizarre invaded, they resisted pollution with strong willpower, but eventually died in battle as the bizarre claimed and corrupted their bodies. May attempt to capture during their weakness and refine into Corpse Ghost]

"My Corpse Control Technique can finally come in handy!" Jiang Yuan felt sorrow for Yu Hu yet was excited that he finally found a suitable candidate to refine into a Corpse Ghost, which would be his absolute Death Warrior!

Ever since obtaining the Corpse Control Technique in the Riverfront Village instance, he’d been thinking of refining a couple to try as they certainly behaved more obediently than paper dolls and horses.

But the problem was he had never come across a suitable target.

He couldn’t bring himself to commit indiscriminate killing; ordinarily, he didn’t have many enemies and had previously encountered Qing Wu. After much consideration, he decided to let Yun Mo take revenge instead and gave up refining a Corpse Ghost.

Now things were different, there was no psychological burden whatsoever.

"Heaven-Burning Flame!" The opening move was still the old rule, even if it’s hit or miss, at least it could earn some experience.

Everything happened in a very short time, from the appearance of Yu Hu to Jiang Yuan taking action.

As Heaven-Burning Flame was unleashed, the opponent suddenly took flight from the grass, simultaneously a black Long Spear pierced forward!

"That was close!" Thankfully Jiang Yuan was cautious enough; after completing the opening move, he instantly teleported to the opponent’s rear, dodging the Long Spear attack, allowing him to see Yu Hu’s true form.

A human body with a bird’s head, two wings on the back, wearing clothes made of animal skin, holding a black Long Spear; about two meters tall, with large bird feet and sharp claws.

As he flashed to the back, the technique Vast Mountains and Rivers was unleashed.

Yu Hu was indeed as evaluated by the system as the most valiant warrior, evidently experienced in combat. Missing his strike, with exposed muscular right arm nearly instantly swinging the spear backward!

The black gleaming spear tip nearly hit Jiang Yuan, forcing him to retreat two steps, click teleportation to move diagonally and release Vast Mountains and Rivers again.

This was certainly the toughest battle since Jiang Yuan entered the Wilderness World, lacking paper crafts for use; facing a fighter that can fly, is strong, and rich in combat experience wasn’t easy, his few skills seemed to do nothing but slowly whittle down the HP.

Vast Mountains and Rivers absorbed all surrounding energy, making Yu Hu unable to use techniques, so he flapped wings and used a spear for physical attack, his response was swift without the slightest retreat, causing Jiang Yuan to suspect the eerie couldn’t corrupt his remaining will, only his body.

Fortunately, Vast Mountains and Rivers and Heaven-Burning Flame were remote attack skills, allowing Jiang Yuan to maintain rhythm and distance every time skills were unleashed, teleporting subsequently to dodge opponent’s reach until lowering his health bar to one-tenth, ready for capture and refining into Corpse Ghost.

[Attempting capture, please stop attacking]

[Capture failed, try again?]

[Attempting capture...]

[Capture failed...]

The system didn’t prompt Jiang Yuan, he dared not to use skills again, a little mistake in low health might kill him. Unable to stop the opponent’s attack, he endlessly teleported around.

Even so, after five failed tries, the system advised he couldn’t be captured and suggested direct kill.

"Is it really this difficult? Very well, I’m impressed, tonight I must capture one and refine into a Corpse Ghost!" This series of operations’ eventual failure fueled Jiang Yuan’s competitiveness.

Moreover, with valiant, fearless warriors being polluted and manipulated by eerie, if they had sentience surely detested it too, capturing and refining into Corpse Ghosts leaving the Misty Miasma Range wouldn’t be such a bad fate.

Resolving this, he gave up wood cutting and grass trimming, after killing the weakened Yu Hu, scourged around with the Blade searching for more Yu Hu traces.

After more than half an hour, killing two Mutated Golden-winged Phoenix yielded loot, finally he found an identical target in a small grove.

The opponent stood on a branch, powerful claw exuded beauty in strength. Suddenly leaping off the branch, flapping wings emitting sound wave attack, meanwhile diving with a spear from the air.

[Suffered sound wave attack, HP -50]

Took a solid hit, Jiang Yuan was nevertheless delighted. With his defense substantially built up, Yu Hu could breach it and dealt some damage, indicating his sonic attack was potent!

Who wouldn’t want their allies to possess strong combat capabilities?
