Undead Farming : I Summon Skeleton For Farming

Shen Xingyan's Home was relatively close to the base's border, and due to his family's circumstances, he lived in a more desolate area. It wasn't completely uninhabited, but it was sparsely populated, and at this moment, there were no other people around.

Observing the unusual movement in the grass in this environment, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but pay close attention, his heart instinctively tightened, and his body naturally assumed a combat stance.

As the movement approached, Shen Xingyan slowly and easily retreated, his hands empty as he picked up a stone nearby to increase his combat effectiveness.

Just as Shen Xingyan finished preparing, the area of movement in his sight suddenly fell silent. As soon as his puzzled thought emerged, he suddenly saw a black shadow dart out and lunge directly at him.

Its speed was so great that even top-tier humans before the Origin Energy outburst couldn't react in time. However, Shen Xingyan was a full-attribute Awakener and had been constantly watching that direction. The moment he saw the black shadow, his body instinctively dodged, and the black shadow's attack missed.

After Shen Xingyan stood firm and clearly saw the appearance of the culprit, the previous unease dissipated, replaced by a tightening grip on the stone in his hand.

Before him was a low-level Disaster, specifically, a Disaster that had mutated from a rat—a Giant Rat.

The outburst of Origin Energy over a hundred years ago caused all life on Blue Star to evolve to some extent. Creatures like rats were no exception and saw an increase in their abilities. At that time, their harmfulness to humans also increased exponentially.

In that era, due to different focuses in their growth, the growth rate of these creatures seemed even more astonishing.

Their Cultivation method differed from humans in that, while humans' various physical attributes would also see basic improvements over time, they required various forms of training to achieve rapid improvement. The focus of natural growth was primarily on Origin Energy, and in terms of other attributes, they simply couldn't compare to other creatures.

Moreover, without the help of a Star Origin light pillar for Awakening, knowing how to use the naturally growing Origin Energy would be a very difficult matter.

In previous defense battles, although these rats had insufficient killing power, their astonishing reproductive numbers caused considerable trouble for professional cultivators who had only recently Awakened.

Furthermore, even the weakest Disaster is still a Disaster; their aggressiveness towards humans is inherently present.

"How could such a weak Giant Rat Breakthrough the border and come here?" Shen Xingyan thought to himself as he observed.

Earlier, at school, Shen Xingyan had learned about the characteristics of Disasters. The Giant Rat before him was only known for its speed; its killing power was not great.

Not to mention that he had already completed his Awakening, and his speed completely surpassed the opponent's. Even before Awakening, as long as he seized the opportunity, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with the opponent.

The Giant Rat opposite him was also staring at Shen Xingyan, its eyes, the size of fingernails, darting around as if analyzing the difference in strength between them. Its two sharp incisors were exposed, flaunting its threat.

However, Shen Xingyan didn't wait for the opponent to make the first move. He directly raised the stone and charged forward. With his current 12 points of defense, it wouldn't be easy for the opponent to break through it. Shen Xingyan had some confidence in this aspect.

The Giant Rat saw that the small human opposite him showed no fear and even took the initiative to attack. It was immediately startled by this Aura, frantically jumping and turning to scurry away with its head down, completely lacking the ferocity it showed when it ambushed Shen Xingyan earlier.

But how could Shen Xingyan let it have its way? His 10 points of speed were fully unleashed, covering the distance in a few swift strides, quickly arriving behind the Giant Rat.

With a "smack," Shen Xingyan's right hand, holding the stone, slammed directly into the Giant Rat's body, causing the creature to shriek in pain, and its fleeing speed momentarily stalled.

Shen Xingyan ignored the Giant Rat's reaction, swinging the stone in his hand to strike at its head again, but this time, he missed. The Giant Rat suddenly vanished from its spot, which made him pause in surprise.

By the time Shen Xingyan saw the opponent again, the Giant Rat was already dozens of meters away.

However, after being solidly hit by Shen Xingyan just now, its movement speed had slowed down significantly.

Shen Xingyan didn't think much and stepped forward to pursue again.

Despite the Giant Rat's desperate attempt to escape, Shen Xingyan quickly caught up, repeatedly smashing its head until the creature was on its last breath, no longer moving an inch. Only then did he stop.

Looking at the Giant Rat, which showed no signs of life, Shen Xingyan finally stood up and let out a long breath.

His stamina, which had been depleted from training at the gym, was now almost completely exhausted after the intense battle he had just fought.

Although it was only a short period, the consumption was enormous. Sweat involuntarily beaded on his forehead, which also made him realize the fundamental difference between actual combat and daily training.

It was Shen Xingyan's first time experiencing such a direct confrontation with a Disaster. The forced composure he had displayed earlier now vanished, replaced by a wave of lingering fear.

What if what appeared this time wasn't a low-level Giant Rat, but a more Advanced Disaster? Would he still be able to eliminate it so easily? After all, a battlefield is a fight to the death.

The uncertain answer in his heart made him flinch. He knew he now possessed two powerful Skills. If he were to suffer any misfortune due to such accidents in the Early Stage of his development, he felt he would die too unjustly!

For over a decade, he had heard professional cultivators say that the closer one got to the border, the more dangerous it became. Although he had believed this before, he had never truly experienced it firsthand. Now, the appearance of this small Disaster made Shen Xingyan's feelings even more profound.

"Now that Disasters are appearing, this place will likely become even more chaotic in the future. It seems I need to quickly rent a house near the school so my sister will be much safer." This situation forced Shen Xingyan to think deeply, and he made up his mind.

Only then did he remember to check on the Giant Rat at his feet.

Shen Xingyan squatted down, examining the bloody and mangled prey he had struck down. It was his first time observing a Disaster so closely, and for a moment, he didn't know how to describe the feeling.

There was novelty, excitement, but more than anything, there was hatred. After all, his once happy family had been destroyed by these Disasters, and he couldn't help but hate them. Now, he had taken the first step towards revenge.

As he examined it, Shen Xingyan noticed that the Giant Rat's belly seemed much larger than what he had learned from the material, an indescribable abnormality.

Unfortunately, he had no tools for dissection at the moment, so he could only take the Giant Rat Home first to cut it open and see what was going on. The Giant Rat's meat could also be separated and sold at the free trade market for money.
