Sorry, But I Never Rely On Luck When Playing Cards

Chapter 679: Chapter 241: Is this the Joy of a Summoner?

Using the Zombie Beast’s body, Ree Shil effortlessly jumped into the well’s bottom without suffering any damage.

After all, even the Phantom wouldn’t be troubled by this height.

As for the 10 Ginseng Zombies, the first three who jumped down couldn’t withstand the impact and died instantly.

Thanks to them as a buffer, the remaining Ginseng Zombies were able to jump down without dying from the fall. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"That’s not right."

Standing at the bottom of the well, Ree Shil suddenly thought of something.

When choosing the template, he remembered the system’s prompt:

(When you devour the target Zombie Beast, you can choose/replace skills)

(No more than 8 skills in total)

(And receive a small attribute bonus)

"It doesn’t seem like I have to choose a Zombie Beast, right?"

"Are there any NPC Zombie Beasts in this Ancient City?"

"Also, are the Zombie Beasts I summon not considered Zombie Beasts?"

So his gaze fell on the three dead Ginseng Zombies.

The details of the twisted scene won’t be described, as it probably would need to be censored during the livestream.

But this doesn’t prevent Ree Shil from wanting to try his idea.

Moreover, honestly, after 100% synchronization, he didn’t find the Zombie Beast carcass disgusting.

On the contrary, it looked... kind of like food.

Without hesitation, he squatted down and took a gentle bite.

"A taste of ginseng."

Chewing a few times, he didn’t feel anything wrong. The texture was like old bamboo shoots, a bit woody.

Swallowing it down, he immediately opened his panel.

Unfortunately, there was no change at all.

"I remember in the movies, it seems that Zombie Beasts only eat living beings."

"So, is it invalid because it’s dead?"

So, he turned his gaze to the intact Ginseng Zombies nearby.

He had one of them raise its arm, and he took a small bite again.

Checking the panel again, it was still invalid.

"Could it be that summoned creatures are useless?"

It must be said that this was a bit disappointing.

Otherwise, he could exploit this bug.

"But on second thought, it makes sense. I’m not the only one who chose the summoning skill."

"If you can get stronger by eating your own summoned creatures, everyone would hide and be self-sufficient."

Although somewhat regrettable, it was logical.

So he turned around and followed the well tunnel, moving deeper.

One huge advantage of this Zombie Beast template compared to a human is the night vision ability.

So the lack of light in the well’s bottom pose no obstacle to Ree Shil at all.

After walking about a dozen meters, the tunnel started to become winding and narrow.

It was just narrow enough for him to pass through as a Zombie Beast.

If it was the Determination Corpse template, it might not even be able to pass through.

As for the Rabid Lost Creature, which was even bigger than the Determination Corpse, Ree Shil was sure it wouldn’t be able to pass.

"Even the well tunnel is completely dried up, without a single drop of water."

"It seems this Ancient City has been abandoned for a long time."

He reached out and touched the tunnel wall.

It had become smooth due to the constant erosion of the water flow over the years, with no protrusions.

After crawling through the long tunnel, he arrived at a fairly spacious cavern.

He estimated that the cavern was around 100 square meters or so.

If squeezed, hundreds of Ginseng Zombies could fit in here without any issues.

"Good, I have a barracks."

Ree Shil was very satisfied with this space.

At the other end of the "barracks," there was another connected tunnel.

After passing through another narrow tunnel, he arrived at the location of the Wind Mourner.

At this time, it stood dumbly by the wall like a piece of wood since it had not received any new instructions.

This was the Crossroad that he saw earlier through the Wind Mourner’s eyes.

In fact, this area wasn’t small.

It was about 60-70% the size of the barracks.

"Good, Barrack Two."

Ree Shil nodded again, then sent the Wind Mourner out.

He asked it to explore the other branches of the tunnel, mapping the terrain for him.

In case of any emergencies, he could choose the best escape route.

As for Ree Shil himself, he stayed in Barrack Two and laid down.

"First, put other things aside and focus on summoning more soldiers as bodyguards."

Now that he had a preliminary understanding of this Instance, it was a dangerous place.

So, Ree Shil believed that choosing the Wind Mourner was the wisest decision.

Among the seven major corpse beast templates, only the Wind Mourner can accomplish mass summoning missions without making any noise.

Theoretically, the Wise Mourning could do it too, but its energy recovery is too slow, severely hindering efficiency.

Nothing like his current situation, where energy wasn’t an issue.

The only obstacle for him to summon Soldiers and troops was the skill cooldown.

The summoning cooldown for Ginseng Zombies was 1 minute, so he could only summon 60 times in an hour, amounting to 120 in total.

This number wasn’t even enough to fill Barrack One.

"But this efficiency is actually already very high, so there’s no need to rush."

"According to last time’s experience, this Instance should last at least seven or 8 days."

"I can spend the first 5-6 days summoning soldiers and gathering troops, that’s reasonable, right?"

"After all, the strongest only comes from the last 5 surviving Zombie Beasts."

"If I can reach victory by outlasting others, it’s naturally the most effortless."

While speaking, he had already summoned 2 Ginseng Zombie Beasts.

Time passed slowly, and more than an hour elapsed.

Ree Shil had filled almost half of Barrack One.
