Chapter: 697
Stepping down, he was pleased with his makeshift construction as it didn’t shift under his weight.
“Alright…” Jay looked around at his skeletons, planning for the night.
“I’ll need firewood, water and food.” he talked to himself, “shelter is okay for now since I have my swag.”
Of course, Jay wouldn’t be doing work to get any of these.
“Sweep… oh?” Jay was distracted by the munching noises of bones.
The platform he made to stand on in the cradle of roots was already being eaten away by his skeletons.
“You weren’t damaged, so… you levelled up?” Jay grinned.
Both Lamp and Sweeper were eating – after a moment, Handy joined them too.
Finally, his level three skeletons reached level four, and that meant one thing:
“Time to pick your roles” Jay’s eyes gleamed.
He had been waiting for this for a while, excited to see what roles they would gain.
Seeing the others eating, Heavy also kneeled down and began to feast on the bones, which only made Jay more ecstatic.
“Fuck yes, you all levelled up?” Jay grinned, “Well then, feast. Feast to your hearts content.” he grinned.
Right now, the only skeletons not feasting were Red, Blue and Dark – who was still heading back to investigate the explosion.
Jay decided to use the [host] skill later on after he prepared his camp, knowing he may need to use his mana for other tasks – one of which would be making a bone crucible for his camp fire.
“Alright. Blue, you collect firewood.” Jay then took out his water skin and drank it down to the last drop, “Red, go back to that stream and refill my water skin. See you in a few hours.”
As the last of the sunlight was going down, Jay didn’t waste any time.
He made a larger pile of bones on his thick bone platform and began to channel his mana. The familiar green glow of the necrotic mana created an alluring light in the depths of the forest.
The bones he placed in front of him began to glow themselves as his mana seeped into them and melted with them.
In the depths of the forest, on a platform of corpses, Jay was a dark figure weaving sickly green mana around floating bones; four undead creatures eating the bones at his feet. It would have made anyone shiver.
Jay was working with a large amount of bones this time, but his idea was simple: a large, flat round disc shape. This was where his fire would sit. Simple enough.
It chewed through some mana, but the disc was a simple shape, and before he knew it, it dropped down onto the bone pile.
Next, Jay created a large flat rectangle too, about the size of his own body. This would be the foundation of his bed tonight. It may seem like a small thing, but was necessary for a comfortable sleep.
Plus, using the [Living Blueprints] skill of his gauntlet, he could just store them away for later use.
Jay then set up his swag, rolling it out as he waited for his skeletons to stop eating. After setting up his sleep area he gazed across his skeletons.
