Chapter 84: Chapter 36 The Remarkably Effective Undead Bone Flute, The Terrifying White Bone Thorns Dance_2

On the way back, the Thunder Night Dragon initially had a smug look, but after several attempts to show off in front of Char without any engagement from him, its raised tail eventually drooped.

Realizing its mistake, it started to cautiously observe Char’s expressions.

Freyja returned to Char’s bedroom, picked up the clothes prepared for her by Char, and walked towards Kedel’s cabin. She already felt dirty and after a bout of frantic running, she was covered in sweat, making her feel even more uncomfortable.

Unable to wait even a moment, she immediately wanted to take a bath in the cabin’s washroom, then change into clean clothes, and wash the ones she took off.

In the garden, Betty, Auson, and the other Magic Pets also sensed the oppressive air emanating from Char and reacted differently.

Betty stopped talking and moved her gaze back and forth between Char and the Thunder Night Dragon, seemingly trying to understand what had happened.

Compared to Betty, Auson was much less sensitive, seeing that there was no issue with Char and others, he used Earth Escape and returned to the Mushroom House.

The Clover Mantis seemed to want to ease the atmosphere but hesitated; the anxious Lotus Leaf Frog immediately made an abrupt stop and crouched to one side without daring to speak as if it was aggrieved.

Lantern Firefly observed the situation briefly, then flew off to train by itself.

The recent battle made it increasingly aware of its own weaknesses.

Only the Star Worm, relying on Char’s affection, dared to emit flashes of light and flew back and forth in front of him, pleading for the Thunder Night Dragon.

Char kept a straight face and said, “Didn’t I tell you before to advance slowly and not to get carried away and push too deep all at once?”

Apart from the Undead Mage, the ultimate boss in the Land of Undead, there are several minor bosses; Char knew this after Freyja translated the diary left by Kedel.

The original Undead Mage had several powerful undead under his command, after all, an Undead Mage’s main combat power comes from his undead minions.

Although most of these powerful undead were killed by Kedel and the experts from Fallen Leaf Town, after both sides suffered heavy losses, some Intermediate undead (Level 0-4 for low, 5-9 for intermediate, 10-14 for high level) survived.

At that time, Kedel, who was severely injured, was unable to clean up these Intermediate Undead. Therefore, to warn the successors, he specifically introduced these undead in his diary and even marked each Intermediate Undead’s range of activity.

These undead were already strong back then, and now after so many years, having absorbed so much Power of Undead, their strength would only be stronger.

Moreover, besides those old ones from back then, there are new overlords too!

The expansion of the Land of Undead over so many years couldn’t possibly have been for nothing, right?

So, Char never felt that acquiring the Thunder Night Dragon meant he could rest easy and bulldoze his way through.

In the process of clearing the minor monsters, Char had always cautioned the Thunder Night Dragon to be careful. He hadn’t expected a danger to still occur.

Fortunately this time, the encountered minor boss was only a Level 8 Thorny Bone Snake; had it been one of the more powerful undead, the outcome for the Thunder Night Dragon might not have been so favorable today.

Thinking this, Char involuntarily opened the system map, glancing at it from the corner of his eye.

After Freyja finished translating the diary, he discovered that the system map was also a kind of “Little Golden Finger”, with far greater potential than he had previously thought.

Because after the translation was complete, several locations suddenly refreshed on the map, marking the undead mentioned by Kedel in his diary with different pixel cartoon icons, including that Undead Mage!

Not only that, but he also discovered that the map also updates the position of these “boss monsters” in real-time. Except for the Undead Mage who had never moved because he was sealed, the other few minor bosses all had limited movement.

This provided Char with a tremendous intelligence advantage, akin to having a divine eye; moving forward, he could detect any changes in these bosses at the first moment.

A seemingly inconspicuous, but actually incredibly powerful feature.

This discovery made Char even more confident about his safety and strengthened his resolve to stay and utilize the Land of Undead to rapidly increase his power.

But despite its incredible utility, this map did have its drawbacks.

The first drawback was that the map did not show the level of the bosses, making Char rely only on the information left by Kedel to estimate the corresponding boss’s level.

The second drawback was that before discovery, the map did not indicate the Intermediate Undead born after Kedel’s death, such as the Thorny Bone Snake.

This could lead to situations like today’s.

After being scolded, the Thunder Night Dragon seemed very remorseful, lowering its head and making a whining sound that seemed to acknowledge its mistake, yet subtly showed some dissatisfaction.

Char, pulling his gaze away from the freshly refreshed icon of the Thorny Bone Snake composed of grey pixel squares and looking at the whining Thunder Night Dragon, sighed deeply and firmly admitted his own mistake.

“Of course, I am also to blame.”

“Just like you, I got carried away. Recruiting you made me lose the caution and vigilance I should have had. I should have kept a closer watch on you, this isn’t just your fault, Thunder Night Dragon.”
