X-Dragon Era-Chapter 526 - s 379-381: Formidable Skeleton_4
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yan Qingying couldn't help feeling a wave of disappointment, but she quickly recovered. Actually, when you think about it, the Xuanming White Bone Banner was already incredibly formidable. Once fully restored, just this one banner alone would guarantee invincibility. The only issue was... restoring it now was indeed challenging.
As he pondered, Xin Yun hurriedly checked on it. After his inspection, he was amazed to discover that the repair of the Third Layer required only a little more time. How could it be so fast! What was going on!
After only a moment's thought, Xin Yun quickly came up with an answer. The first layer was indeed difficult to repair, and even stealing would take a long time. However... most of that time was actually spent traveling.
Now that the Tai Chi Diagram had opened the second layer, it enabled long-distance teleportation. A single teleport could span a hundred thousand li. With the five brothers taking turns, even a million li would take just a little while. Therefore... ever since the Tai Chi Diagram was repaired to the second layer, the efficiency of the five brothers had increased by more than tenfold.
Since their efficiency had increased, the five brothers were stealing even faster. Sometimes they hit three or four warehouses in a single day, sweeping all the metals clean. Now Silver, copper, iron, and tin had all met the requirements to repair the third layer. Only gold had a significant gap, as it was the scarcest among the five metals.

Once the third layer was repaired, they could summon 999 gold-tier skeletons. Now what Xin Yun wanted to know was the mining efficiency of the Silver Skeletons. If possible, they might indeed be the solution!
Looking at the 25 Silver Skeletons, Xin Yun said to Yan Qingying with anticipation, "Alright, now order them to mine the Red Copper, I want to see their mining efficiency!"
Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, Yan Qingying nodded, and with a wave of her banner, the twenty-five Silver Skeletons sprang into action. They moved with incredible agility and speed, rushing toward the circular Red Copper Mountain.
Under everyone's gaze, the 25 Silver Skeletons simultaneously reached out with their right hands, and as silver light shimmered, their bony hands extended into silver mining picks. Then... the skeletons swung their picks and began mining with the sound of clanging metal.
"Clang... clang... clang..." Amid the distinct ringing sounds, chunks of Red Copper Ore were quickly mined. Then... the skeletons, each holding a chunk of ore the size of a human head, ran swiftly to the feeding inlet of the Chaos Cauldron and threw the ore in.
As the Red Copper Ore was tossed in, the Chaos Cauldron roared violently. Soon... at the mouth of the cauldron, nine fist-sized pieces of Innate Spirit Copper were shot out in a reddish hue. As soon as the Innate Spirit Copper was ejected, the nine Jade Dragons above swooped down, each opening their maw to swallow it. Simultaneously, the Heaven and Earth Seal shimmered brightly with cyan light.
"Woah!" Seeing this scene, Xin Yun couldn't help but exclaim. These Silver Skeletons were really formidable! The hardness of the Red Copper was terrifying, yet under the mining of these skeletons, it took only a dozen or so strikes to chisel off a piece. The speed!
In her contemplation, Yi Luo Xiang turned her head excitedly to Yan Qingying and said, "These little skeletons are pretty strong, huh? They actually have the strength of Silver-tier! If we send these little guys out, they could be a tremendous combat force!"
Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Yan Qingying frowned slightly and shook her head, "No, although these Silver Skeletons have Silver-tier strength, their combat power would be greatly limited by their bodies if taken out. Very weak."
At this point, Yan Qingying paused for a bit, then continued, "Though these Silver Skeletons also have the strength of Silver-tier, they would be easily massacred by a single Silver-tier Dragon Rider. One Dragon Rider could effortlessly slaughter millions of skeletons."
"Hmm..." Nodding reluctantly, Xin Yun said with a wry smile, "That's right, these Silver Skeletons, despite exerting Silver-tier energy, have bodies made of half-dragon half-human bones. The quality of the energy they release is not bad, but the amount is really too small. They also can't fly and have weak defenses. A breath of Dragon Breath could wipe out hundreds in an instant, rendering them useless in combat."
"No, no, no..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang shook her head, "Didn't you say that the main feature of these skeletons is their undying nature? Even if they are scattered to pieces, just a wave of the Xuanming White Bone Banner and they can instantly resurrect, making them an inexhaustible force. Moreover... their attacks are of Silver-tier, capable of harming peers. If there are enough of them, the 'sea of bones' tactic could definitely extinguish any peer at the same tier!"
"This..." Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, both Xin Yun and Yan Qingying's eyes lit up. Yes... these skeletons might be a bit weak, but their attacks and defenses were of Silver-tier. It's just that the amount was small, their defenses were easily breached, and although the intensity of their attacks was decent, they were too few in number.
For example, if a Giant Dragon could blast a small mountain with a breath of Dragon Breath, a skeleton's single strike could only blow up a rock the size of a person. Although capable of destroying the same type of material, the destructive power differed greatly; this was essentially the difference between humans and dragons.
As she pondered, Yi Luo Xiang continued excitedly, "And besides, it's only the second layer that's been restored so far, right? It won't be long before we reach the Third Layer. Once we get there, the number of skeletons will increase tenfold, reaching over a thousand. If we can solve the problem of flight, that will be truly terrifying!"
