Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Soon, the western cliff returned to silence.

The honeycomb-like holes on the rock wall were completely empty, not even a trace of soul dust remained.

The number of "Chang Gui" gathered in the body of the Nether Tiger has reached (8572/9999), and it is about to complete the goal.

Its soulfire intensity has reached the threshold of level 4.

But not enough.

The undead minions ransacked West Valley, taking all the belongings of the vengeful spirit aggregate.

"Let's go to Eastvale." Lynn climbed onto Megatron.

"There's another 'overlord' waiting for us there."

...

The road ahead remained barren as the undead army marched into East Valley in a mighty procession.

The Overlord of East Valley lives underground, and the entrance to its lair is a huge cave with a diameter of more than ten meters.

The cave walls were covered with grayish-white "soul spider webs," on which countless remains of the dead were stuck. Their soul fire was slowly drawn out by the spider silk until they died.

Since the underground cave was the other party's territory, and he didn't know what kind of monsters might be inside, Lynn didn't plan to go down there himself.

Lynn patted Megatron beneath him.

"You'll be the main attacker this time."

Megatron's power was enough to crush the entire Death Valley, let alone this small cavern.

Megatron stood at the cave entrance, a hint of disgust flashing in his dragon eyes.

It hates this damp, sticky environment.

"Let's finish this quickly."

"roar!"

Upon hearing this, Megatron immediately unleashed a destructive torrent of molten dragon breath into the cave!

The molten lava flowed down the cave, turning spiderwebs to ash in its wake, and instantly vaporizing the remnants of the undead that clung to it!

A sharp hiss came from deep underground!

The ground began to shake, and eight pale, six-meter-long skeletal limbs burst forth from the earth!

Next, a spherical torso with a diameter of five meters comes into view.

The torso was pieced together from thousands of skeletons, with each joint wrapped in the silk of a soul.

The Skeleton Spider Mother has appeared!

Its eight compound eyes, inlaid with skulls, locked onto Megatron, and its abdominal plates opened, spewing out a torrential rain of bone spikes and poison!

Each bone spur is coated with a nerve-paralyzing toxin and also has a slight soul-corroding effect.

Megatron advanced instead of retreating, unleashing the full power of the Titan skeleton's indestructible barrier!

Toxins? What a joke!

The bone spurs struck the alloy bone plate with a crisp clanging sound. Ninety percent of them were deflected directly, and the remaining ten percent barely penetrated half an inch before being automatically repelled and squeezed out by the Earth Core Gold.

The gap between the two sides is too large.

A level 4 early-stage King Dragonborn versus a level 3 peak-stage Patchwork Monster—this is a crushing defeat on the level of life.

Megatron didn't even use his dragon breath; he simply charged, swung his claws, and whipped his tail.

Bang! A bone limb was smashed.

Crack! A crack appeared in the bone armor of the torso.

Boom! The tail hammer struck the abdomen, sending the skeletal spider mother flying backward and crashing into half of the rock wall.

It tried to shoot webs to trap its enemy, but the webs were shattered inch by inch by Megatron's immense force as soon as they touched Megatron's skeleton.

Finally, the Bone Spider Mother was pinned to the ground by one of Megatron's front claws, five of her eight limbs were broken, her torso was damaged in many places, and her soul fire weakened.

Lynn walked up to it and made a pressing motion with his right hand.

The Starbone Ruler's Heart was directly imprinted, forcibly subjugating it.

【Skeleton Spider Mother】

[Rank]: Peak Level 3 (Leader-level - Patchwork Undead)

【Core Components】: Soul Spider Silk Glands, Compound Eye Command Center, and the Aggregated Body of a Thousand Bones (precisely assembled from the skeletons of over 1,200 different creatures, possessing extremely strong physical toughness and deformability).

【Characteristics and Abilities】

1. Bone Spur Poison Rain: The abdominal bone plates can spray dense bone spurs, which are accompanied by [Neurotic Paralysis Toxin] and [Weak Soul Erosion].

2. Soul Spider Web Weaving: Can spray transparent soul-material spider webs, with a maximum coverage area of ​​50 meters × 50 meters.

Spider webs possess the properties of adhesion and confinement, soul energy absorption, and perception shielding.

3. Skeletal Deformation: The torso shape can be freely changed, and the ends of the eight limbs can be transformed into: digging claws (for rapid digging), climbing hooks (for vertical rock wall movement), and piercing spears (for melee thrusts).

4. Thousand Bones Frenzy: The Spider Mother completely dismantles the skeleton of her torso, transforming it into hundreds of high-speed flying bone blades, bone spears, and bone claws, covering a large area like a tidal wave.

5. Domination of the Undead: The Spider Mother can connect with surrounding low-level undead through soul spider silk, transforming them into "temporary offspring"—these offspring will share their senses with the Spider Mother and will unconditionally execute the Spider Mother's hunting commands, forming an undead hunting network with the Spider Mother at its core.

[Potential Assessment] Medium to High (The growth ceiling for spliced ​​undead is relatively low. Feeding them bones can optimize their torso strength. Without special opportunities, the probability of advancing to level 4 is <5%.)

[Evaluation]: It is relatively weak in direct combat, but its value in controlling the field and defending in specific environments should not be underestimated.

...

This spider queen is decent; she's a support unit. I happened to have collected quite a few undead skeletons, so giving them to her would be a good way to make use of them.

"Summon all the undead in your lair."

The skeletal spider mother did not hesitate upon hearing this; under the absolute control of the brand, she could only obey.

Its abdomen trembled incessantly, emitting a unique spiritual frequency...

Moments later, various undead emerged from the depths of the nest, from the crevices of the rocks, and even from the remains of the undead bound by spider webs.

Countless ghosts, rotting corpses, ghost spiders, corpse dogs, and so on.

As for the skeletal undead, there were very few; they were probably all devoured and absorbed by the Skeleton Spider Mother.

There are approximately 10,000 ghost-like undead.

There are more than 1,200 of them that are level 2 or higher.

Lynn absorbed all the level 1 ghosts into the Soul Lamp, and then gave the order.

"Nether Tiger, devour them all."

After the devouring was completed, the progress of the Nether Tiger became (9862/9999), only a hundred or so more were needed to advance to the next level.

Almost there, you'll be advancing to the next level soon!

At this moment, the skeletal spider mother also dragged out a huge white "web bag" from the cave, which she had woven from spider webs.

Inside was a huge pile of miscellaneous materials. Lynn glanced at it and found nothing of value.

Indeed, they were just a group of undead, and apart from their bones and flesh, they didn't really have anything to offer.

Fortunately, Death Valley appears to have been a battlefield, and many broken weapons and armor remain, which allowed some of the undead to use iron weapons.

However, after countless years of corrosion, these weapons have become extremely fragile and are not as practical as the bone knives and swords in the hands of the skeleton soldiers.

He put the Bone Spider Mother into the Undead Space, then had Megatron block the entrance to the crypt, and had his underlings kill and devour the remaining chaotic undead.

Hmm... after all, it was the Spider Queen's own undead. It was a bit too cruel for her to watch her little brother be destroyed.

However, Lynn was overthinking it.

The undead in the territory of the Bone Spider Mother are not particularly strong; they are basically her food reserves, and she has no intention of cultivating them.

Even if you let it kill them all by itself, it won't even blink.

Soon, the entire East Valley fell silent.

After the two most important targets were dealt with, what remained were scattered small groups or individuals.
