Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Upon reaching the destination, what appeared in front of Fang Zhou was a stone mountain less than three hundred meters tall.

The Beast Blood Stone Vein was right here.

The area was quite large, estimated to be around four or five kilometers in circumference.

"This will be our mining and metallurgy zone!"

After everyone got off the vehicle, Yan Yan spread his arms wide, as if wanting to embrace the not-so-tall mountain.

He turned to Fang Zhou and said, "Fang Zhou, the hard work begins with you."

"Understood, it’s my duty." Fang Zhou nodded.

Although the mountain had undergone a simple survey by the official mining team of Beast Fighting City, the dangers within the mountain and surrounding areas had not been eradicated.

Fang Zhou’s first task upon arrival was to clear out any potential dangers on and around the mountain thoroughly.

While others started unloading equipment from the vehicle and setting up a simple camp at the foot of the mountain, Fang Zhou stood at the front and began his summoning.

One by one, Blood Spirit Warriors and Spiritual Remains Warriors were summoned by him, densely arranged in the barren land ahead.

Seeing this scene, the people setting up the camp behind couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

These undead summons, clad in blood-red or ghostly blue armor, exuded a terrifying aura of death.

So many Bronze or Silver Tier Undead Warriors could easily crush them.

Yan Yan nodded in satisfaction at this sight.

The most important reason he chose Fang Zhou was because of his terrifying combat power.

Moreover, Fang Zhou was a rising star in the military, with formidable backing.

With military endorsements, Fang Zhou was unlikely to commit acts of murder or robbery that would ruin his future.

This made Yan Yan feel at ease.

Now, under Fang Zhou’s command, there were a hundred Silver Tier Blood Spirit Species, and five hundred Bronze Tier Spiritual Remains Species.

He divided them into five groups, with one group remaining at the camp as a defensive force.

The remaining four teams, each with twenty Blood Spirit Warriors and a hundred Spiritual Remains Warriors, began climbing the mountain from four directions.

For a time, the mountain was in chaos, as these undead creatures conducted a sweeping search.

Even Apprentice Tier natives or fierce beasts were directly killed by them, leaving no room for survival.

These low-strength creatures certainly posed no threat to Fang Zhou.

But to the other ordinary workers in the camp, they were still a significant threat.

Most of these workers were of Apprentice Tier.

They hardly had any combat ability, and encountering these Apprentice Tier natives or fierce beasts could easily be fatal.

The task of clearing potential dangers on the mountain was entrusted to the undead creatures led by the Blood Spirit Warriors, while Fang Zhou was not idle either.

He needed to find suitable places on the mine to place defense arrays.

After spending two days scouting the surroundings, Fang Zhou selected the appropriate locations and began arranging for personnel construction.

Once the simple construction was completed, Fang Zhou started placing magic materials, reinforcing the position to prevent anyone from easily breaching it.

A large number of array materials, under his profound array magic knowledge, slowly transformed and fused, eventually being crafted into a prototype array.

Finally, Yan Yan took out a massive array energy core, and after placing it, Fang Zhou spent another day embedding defense nodes around it.

After some debugging, the array was considered complete.

During this time, Fang Zhou’s undead creatures had also cleaned up all the threatening creatures around the mountain.

The first phase of the work was officially completed.

During the sweep of dangers, his undead creatures also brought back some fierce beast corpses to the camp.

A portion of the fierce beast corpses was made into meals, while the rest were transformed into Flesh Guards by Fang Zhou using Undead Magic and Alchemy.

This was one of the two new skills of the Flesh and Blood series that Fang Zhou had recently developed.

One is the Flesh Guard, as the name suggests, crafting the flesh from carcass remnants into reconnaissance guards.

Once positioned at a fixed location, it can effectively monitor movements within a certain range.

This was a successful combination of Undead Mage’s Flesh and Blood skill tree with Flesh and Blood Alchemy.

Fang Zhou had high expectations for its effectiveness.

The other skill is called Flesh and Blood Domination, a Flesh and Blood control skill.

The skill’s principle is quite simple, allowing slight manipulation of the enemy’s flesh, causing paralysis or spasms.

For enemies with insufficient physique attributes or inadequate self-defense, the Flesh and Blood Domination skill can trap them in a state of extreme suffering.

The Flesh and Blood Domination skill was not yet needed. But Fang Zhou could now assess the effect of the Flesh Guards.

These Flesh Guards provided an excellent monitoring method.

Whether Fang Zhou detected effects via mana link or if they were destroyed, it would always offer a warning to him.

And its benefits didn’t stop there.

When the undead creatures under Fang Zhou’s command were within his mana range, he could direct them.

But as the distance increased, commanding them became more challenging.

If the undead creatures moved out of his mana range, they would act based on their own combat logic.
