X-Dragon Era-Chapter 540 - Skull Full Crew_4
After the recent slaughter in Ling Shan City, the Xuanming White Bone Banner had absorbed enough Bone Energy to produce 74 new Silver Skeletons, adding to the original 25, making exactly 99 Silver Skeletons.
Under Yan Qingying's command, the 99 Silver Skeletons each materialized a silver-colored mining pickaxe and rushed toward the mines, joining the existing Silver Skeletons in endless, ceaseless labor.
Some might think that number too few, but in reality, it was far from insignificant. Even though there were only around 100 skeletons, their work efficiency was astonishingly high!
In such heavy labor, a normal person could only work eight hours a day, and within those eight hours, about three hours would need to be deducted for meals and breaks, not to mention the decrease in work efficiency due to fatigue that hadn't been taken into account. Upon careful calculation, compared to these Silver Skeletons, a regular person working for eight hours effectively only accomplished four hours' worth of work!
As such, a normal person could only work efficiently for four hours a day, whereas these Silver Skeletons could work 24 hours, a difference of sixfold!
Moreover, people of the Silver rank would hardly be willing to work as miners. Doing almost anything else was deemed better than mining, like Ah Da and his group, who, with Bronze rank strength, were capable of trading here and there. This was easier and more lucrative than mining and, most importantly, it offered them freedom.
A miner of the Silver rank was at least equivalent to ten Bronze rank miners, and a Bronze rank miner was worth ten regular humans. Therefore... these 100 Silver Skeletons were essentially equal to 10,000 ordinary humans who never knew fatigue, didn't need to eat or rest, and didn't require sleep.
As he pondered, Yi Luo Xiang curiously moved closer and, looking at the busily working Silver Skeletons, asked, "By the way, how much more material is needed to repair the Sky-opening Axe to the Third Layer?"
Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun snapped back to reality, didn't bother with a second thought, closed his eyes, and began to meticulously inspect. The next moment... a look of ecstatic joy appeared on Xin Yun's face.
Upon thorough inspection, the materials for repairing to the Third Layer were more than enough. The Wave Valley Five Rat Brothers had indeed worked hard. In six months, they had gathered not just all the necessary materials but even some extra.
Since the materials were all collected, Xin Yun certainly wouldn't delay and immediately began the repairs, but... repairing to the Third Layer would require nine days.
With a slight shift in his thoughts, Xin Yun quickly turned his head and discussed with Yi Luo Xiang. Initially... they had planned to actively spread the news about the downfall of Ling Shan, but now it seemed there was no need for that. It was better to wait until the news naturally reached them. By then, the Sky-opening Axe would be just repaired to the Third Layer, and with each enemy slain, they could harvest a skeleton.
After repairing to the Third Layer, the Xuanming White Bone Banner would be able to summon 999 Golden Skeletons. The Gold rank was a formidable one! Golden Skeletons are exceptionally powerful, at least ten times stronger than Silver Skeletons.
However, even though they were both of the Gold rank, a Giant Dragon of that rank could easily slaughter thousands of Golden Skeletons, just like both propelled by gasoline, but an electric bicycle couldn't confront an aircraft carrier.
And while it was initially easy to gather the necessary skeletons, whether they were of Silver or Gold rank, the task would not pose a problem for Xin Yun and others. However, if they were to continue, it would become increasingly difficult.

After killing an enemy, only the energy contained in their bones would be absorbed by the Xuanming White Bone Banner, roughly one-tenth of the person's power. Therefore… to create a single Golden Skeleton, one would have to kill ten Giant Dragons of the Gold rank or one of the Crystal rank. If using Silver Skeletons, it would take over a hundred, and for Bronze rank, it would go into the thousands. (To be continued... For further details, please visit .
