BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52 - 52, Level 12 Skeletonl
Even if the corpse lost its innards, it doesn’t hinder the transformation of the body.
But a corpse that has been disemboweled after death still makes him feel curious and surprised.
That is to say, he is not the only one who has his eyes on this corpse. There are others who have acted earlier.
What are they doing with the innards of the corpse?
Are there organ transplants in this world as well?
They just killed people back then so the innards of the dead could hardly be transplanted.
Of course, there is no use in him finding out, and he can’t notify the association either, wouldn’t that be throwing himself into the net?
Anyway, they each have their own needs and are not hindering each other.
No need to delve into it this deeply.
“Okay, no need to dissect anymore,” Wu Heng said.
Basen stopped severing the cotton thread and stood aside.
Wu Heng directly unleashed the Bone Manipulation Skill.
[The summoned creature is beyond the summoner’s capability, increasing instability factors…]
Another unstable prompt appeared, and his spiritual power began to rapidly deplete.
The flesh and blood on the corpse began to fall off bit by bit, gradually revealing the skeleton beneath.
But the speed of transformation was slower than any previous time, and his spiritual power was rapidly draining at an exponential rate.
He continued to release the spell with his magic wand in hand.
One hand swiftly opened the backpack and took out a spirit potion to drink.
To replenish the depleted spiritual power.
After a continuous expenditure, the flesh and blood on the body completely fell off, and a tall, iron-gray skeleton stood up.
A pair of hollow eye sockets, from which a faint blue flame ascended.
It scanned the surroundings and gave Wu Heng a slight bow.
Wu Heng watched it and nodded in response.
This skeleton in front of him was somewhat different from the others he had transformed before. Its bones were thick and chunky. Instead of being white, the bones were iron-gray.
Even upon close observation, it looked more like a metal skeleton.
“Hmm, you will continue to be called ‘Bawudong’. Stand aside for now,” Wu Heng said to the newly risen skeleton.
The skeleton immediately stepped aside, entering standby mode.
Xiao Xiao, who was initially a bit scared, quickly adapted, fluttering in the air, curiously observing the newly joined Bawudong.
As for Wu Heng, he directly opened his attribute panel to check his attributes.

Wow!
Wu Heng was somewhat surprised when he saw the attributes.
He had to say, the attributes and abilities of this character were quite exaggerated.
All the main attributes reached more than 25.
Both the skills and abilities were also very good.
Moreover, Bawudong going into battle without clothes was not because he was an exhibitionist, but his unarmored defense and unarmored movement greatly increased his attributes.
His skills and abilities were not as chaotic as those of Basen, Jianyi and Jian’er. His abilities were much more unified and complete.
They complemented each other, more akin to having received a complete legacy, and obtained abilities with a plan.
It seems that the Church of Divine Punishment is not an ordinary cult.
He could say that among the skeletons beside him, it was the strongest skeleton.
“Huh? Why is the skill related to the scales missing?” He took another look at the attributes and on the skeleton’s body.
Indeed, there was no relevant information about the scales.
Was his memory confused?
Or, with the transformation into a skeleton, this ability had disappeared.
He spent some time studying but didn’t reach any conclusion.
He left the skeletons squatting in the room and went back to Black Stone Town to rest.
Back in Black Stone Town, he made himself a bucket of ramen.
As he waited for the ramen to soak in, he flipped through the swordsmanship he had acquired that day.
Unlike the previous Mage Skill Book, this one contained more graphical moves and some simple descriptions.
He quickly scanned through it, no hint of unlocking a skill appeared when he finished the last page.
Wu Heng had a bad feeling about this. It couldn’t be that he really needed to start learning and training.
The ramen was almost ready. He continued to read while eating.
After finishing eating,
he called Jianyi over to study the new swordsmanship together.
Until late at night, he went to bed to rest.
The next day, Zombie World.
Roars came from outside the window, and the sound of zombies stepping on broken glass echoed.
Another day had passed, and these zombies showed no signs of leaving.
Moreover, he couldn’t just wait indefinitely.
If they never leave, he would be forever unable to get out.
Just as he was about to send Xiao Xiao to check if the giant mutated zombie was still there, he saw a massive figure appear in his line of sight.
Almost 3 meters in height, dark red skin, muscles bulging grotesquely.
Ugly but full of power.
The giant zombie, it was slowly walking this way, its gaze occasionally sweeping over the window above the stairs, as if looking for prey.
“Damn it, damn monster.” Wu Heng cursed, and continued to call out to the side: “Bawudong, come here.”
Bawudong, with his broad bones, walked over and looked down from the window with him.
“When the time comes, I need you to fight it. If it’s too difficult, try to stall it as long as possible.”
Bawudong still looked down, his soul fire flickering with azure light in his eye sockets.
At noon, the sun was high overhead.
Bang bang bang!!
The four stairway doors opened simultaneously, revealing orderly arranged Skeleton Warriors with spears and kitchen knives.
The heavy sound of the door opening made the wandering zombies pause momentarily.
Then came the roars of anger.
Whoosh-!
The zombies rushed towards the lower floors like a flood, jostling and squeezing into the open corridor.
However, the more crowded it was, the harder it was for the zombies to get in. Meanwhile, the Skeleton Warriors who had been prepped in the corridor started to continuously swing their weapons, attacking the incoming zombies. With the number of incoming zombies, sweat formed on Wu Heng’s forehead. This number, was somewhat excessive.
Just as the undead and zombies collided with each other.
Boom-!
A loud rumble echoed from not far away.
The huge mutated zombie burst out from the corridor in front of them, its gaze fixed on the combat zone.
With an angry roar, it rushed towards them.
Its figure was like a runaway truck, running towards this side in leaps, knocking away the zombies in front of it, and slamming into the corridor.
Standing on the top floor, Wu Heng watched the mutated zombie charge into the corridor.
“Bawudong, it’s up to you.”
The iron door leading to the corridor on the rooftop was opened, and
Bawudong, with his iron-gray skeleton, walked downstairs with his hands on his back.
