Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

The mountain let out a deep roar, leading more than two hundred skeletal earth dragons out of the undead space.

These behemoths became noticeably more active with their soul fire once they came into contact with the dense aura of death outside.

They spread out in the narrow valley, some lying down to rest, others patrolling, their heavy footsteps causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Megatron, like a king inspecting his territory, strolled leisurely ahead of the dragons.

Occasionally, it would raise its head, its dark golden dragon eyes sweeping across the rock walls on both sides. The kingly aura naturally permeated the air, causing the other weak undead creatures in the valley to tremble and dare not approach.

The great tree (the Corrupted Ancient Tree Guardian) took root in the open space in the center of the fortress.

Its trunk, seemingly composed of countless faces of agony, pierced deep into the ground, its roots rapidly connecting with the deadly veins beneath.

The grayish-white deathly aura was absorbed by it like nutrients, and the withered branches on the tree crown faintly shimmered with a sickly luster.

The fiery vines, like living red pythons, coiled around the trunk of the tree. From time to time, a pale white flame would burst out from the dark red vines with a "poof," illuminating the surroundings in a ghastly white light.

But its flames did not cause any harm to the tree; instead, they brought the tree a long-lost warmth.

Since falling into a "half-dead" state, the tree has never felt this warmth again.

The Decepticons strode with elegant yet dangerous steps into the deepest ley line chamber in the mine.

It lay directly beside the leak in the River Styx, its dark golden soul flames flickering merrily.

This is the largest "Undead Nest Area," where Styx Undead often emerge from this node.

The pure death energy and fragments of ghosts emanating from it are the best tonic for it, strengthening its "Changgui".

The crystals of the wisp of soul that condensed on the surface of the Tyrant's body rippled slightly, like breathing, automatically capturing and devouring any wandering spirits that drifted out from the nodes.

Lynn carefully observed the "Styx seepage point" in this side quest, trying to probe it with his mental energy, but it was shattered by an inexplicable force.

After a moment's thought, I pulled out a level 3 bone dog from the undead space. The bone dog was small and thin, so I could try to "squeeze" it in.

After fixing "Undead Vision" on it, order it to pass through the seepage point.

The bone hound didn't hesitate at all, and squeezed its way through the seepage point. As a result, its body and the vision of the attached undead were completely washed away.

Lynn found nothing and then lost sight of the area.

It seems this thing isn't so easy to investigate, since the other side of the connection is the River Styx in the underworld, which is not in the same dimension as the main world.

Another research project has been added to the list.

Lynn stopped dwelling on it, exchanged a few words with the Decepticons, and then left the "Undead Nest Area".

Monsters will frequently spawn here, and you might find some decent "babies" in the future. Just be gentle with the Decepticons and don't waste them.

Lynn walked toward the main mine, where countless "standard undead" were mechanically mining ore.

These standard undead are mainly zombies wielding iron pickaxes (miner zombies), and they are much stronger than skeleton units, making them more suitable for mining.

The main mine primarily produces "Netherweave Iron Ore" and "Wailing Crystal," and sometimes other minerals or materials are also found there.

The main mine is a key inspection area for the "resource verification envoys" assigned by the academy, so the 15% "gray income" cannot be mined from here.

We need to mine from the "small mines" that Haske mentioned but weren't marked on the map.

After completing his inspection, Lynn found nothing unusual and left the main mine shaft, heading towards the "small mine."

Inside the "small mine" were some tools such as iron picks, which appeared to have been left behind by Chris and his three apprentices.

Because the "Resource Inspector" inspects and assesses the mineral reserves of the entire vein every three years, neither they nor the other resident wizards in Soul Valley dare to mine recklessly.

If too much mining is discovered by the inspectors, then things will get really messed up.

Of course, you could try to get past the inspectors if you're capable, but with all sorts of monitoring devices (law enforcement recorders) around, it's not easy to completely fool the academy.

Lynn naturally had no intention of breaking this tacit understanding; things would progress slowly and steadily!

They released another large number of skeletons, zombies, and other undead, and picked up the pickaxes on the ground to start mining.

After everything was arranged, Lynn left the mining area.

Kayn (Silent Reaper) stood like the most loyal shadow guard, always three steps behind Lynn, scythe in hand.

The spirit's body was slightly blurred in the light, as if it might merge into the shadows at any moment.

Now, Wu Liuqi and Xiao Hei, the "Shadow Twins," can no longer keep up with Lynn's pace and can only take a backseat, waiting to transform into calamity-level undead.

Hmm... My old team hasn't shown up since my promotion, it's time to let them get some fresh air.

Some familiar undead emerged from the Netherworld once again.

Wu Liuqi and Xiao Hei transformed into two shadows and disappeared into the depths of the mine. It needed to familiarize itself with the new hunting grounds and find new prey.

The Death Knight flipped himself onto his skeletal warhorse and began to patrol at a steady pace around the valley's perimeter, like a medieval ghost knight.

The giant hammer didn't have that much "energy." Carrying its exaggerated bone hammer, it walked to the giant stone man, sat down, and leaned against the stone man's arm, lost in thought.

But what it didn't notice was that the lava flowing continuously down the stone golem's arm was burning its skeleton red-hot.

After a while, Da Chui realized something was wrong.

Its own hard skeleton felt like it was "flowing," but it couldn't stand it for long. It dragged its bright red skeleton to the valley to reminisce with the "mountains."

Gu Erdan ran to the rock wall protrusion below the Banshee Queen's palace, where the view was open and suitable for it, the "Curse Weaver," to perform.

Brother A is excitedly adapting to the new environment, his flesh and blood constantly wriggling and deforming as he tests his movement methods on different terrains.

The swamp lord's venomous tentacles coiled around its waist and right arm, like a living, dark purple belt and arm armor.

It seems that the two have formed a tacit symbiosis during this period.

Speaking of which, there shouldn't be a shortage of meat in this main world. We can just slaughter a few high-level magical beasts for it to eat, and maybe Brother A will advance in rank.

Gale led the flock of bone crows into the sky, forming a double high- and low-altitude warning network with the banshees.

Within a mere half-hour of time, the entire No. 7 outpost transformed from a deathly silence and chaos into a realm of the dead.

Banshees roam the sky, earth dragons roam the ground, swarms of insects crawl underground, colossi stand at the entrance, ancient trees reside at the core, dark tigers guard the nodes, and reapers surround you...

A three-dimensional, cross-cutting, and comprehensive defense and monitoring system was thus established.
