Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Without the stone wall blocking its way, Thunderbird tried to take the opportunity to attack, but Lynn was faster.

He clenched his right fist, and the power of the earth veins surged out from the mountain below, transforming into more than a dozen thick earth spikes that pierced the three thunderbirds from below.

The three Thunderbirds hurriedly took off.

Two dodged it, but the one at the bottom was a fraction of a second too slow and got pierced through the abdomen by a ground spike.

It let out a scream and fell from the sky.

Lynn waved his left hand, and the death chains binding the two thunderbirds tightened abruptly.

A thunderbird's wing was severed, and it plummeted toward the ravine with a scream.

The other struggled desperately, the chains cutting deep wounds into its body, but it couldn't break free.

The Thunderbird leader has gone mad.

Its body crackled with lightning, transforming into a streak of blue light that charged straight toward Lynn.

The speed was astonishing; the air was torn apart with a sharp whistling sound.

Lynn stood still.

Three hundred meters away.

Two hundred meters.

One hundred meters.

Fifty meters.

The Thunderbird leader stretched out its claws, the tips of which were crackling with blinding lightning.

If this claw strikes firmly, an ordinary third-ring wizard without protection would have their body torn to shreds.

Lynn raised his right hand, his five fingers spread.

Space freezes.

The Thunderbird leader froze, as if gripped by an invisible hand.

It struggled desperately in mid-air, lightning surged, but the surrounding air pressed down on it, making it unable to move.

Lynn slightly rotated the five fingers of his right hand, and space began to distort.

The air around the Thunderbird leader began to contract inward little by little, and it let out a painful howl, its bones cracking as they were squeezed by the space.

Three breaths later, a muffled cracking sound rang out.

The Thunderbird leader's body shattered from the inside, and blood and bits of flesh rained down from mid-air.

Its soul was stripped away and exposed to the air, trying to escape, but Lynn raised his hand and took it into the Phase Soul Lamp.

The corpse wasn't wasted either; it was directly stored in the spatial ring.

Seeing their leader's miserable state, the two chained thunderbirds cried out in anguish and desperately struggled to break free of their chains.

Then, without looking back, they rushed towards their nest.

Lynn extended his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.

The death energy coalesced into a black wall in front of them.

The two thunderbirds hurriedly turned around, but another wall of death had already risen behind them.

The third side.

The fourth page.

The four walls of death trapped them in a square space less than fifty meters long and wide.

Lynn raised his left hand and slowly closed his five fingers.

The four walls began to move inward.

The two thunderbirds frantically spewed lightning, which struck the wall of death, blasting gaps in it, but these gaps were quickly filled with new death energy.

They tried to fly upwards, but there was also a barrier of condensed death energy above them.

The space is getting smaller and smaller.

When the four walls were less than ten meters away from them, the two thunderbirds stopped struggling.

They huddled in the center, trembling, emitting desperate cries.

Lynn let go.

The wall of death remained in place and did not continue to shrink.

Squeezing it into mud is too wasteful; let's just slaughter it and collect the materials.

He flew to the two thunderbirds, raised his hand and pressed it on the head of one of them, directly extracting its soul and taking its body.

The other one was made in the same way.

Soon, all six Thunderbirds were killed; the entire process, from start to finish, took less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

Lynn withdrew the death energy and summoned back the scattered Thunderbird corpses.

Five level 5 initial-stage souls, plus the one from the previous leader, are enough for the second main soul to absorb for a period of time.

After dealing with the Thunderbird, Lynn flew directly to the Thunderbird's nest and began to explore it carefully using his mental powers.

The enormous outer lair was merely a decoy; the real lair was built between cliffs in an extremely secluded location.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary rock crevice, but once you fly inside, you discover that it's a hidden paradise.

Inside is a natural cave that is about 20 meters wide and 15 meters deep.

The cave floor was covered with soft feathers and hay, and in the central depression, eight eggs were neatly arranged.

Thunderbird egg.

Each egg is the size of an adult's head, with a bluish-green shell and silvery patterns on the surface.

Lynn touched it with the back of his hand and could feel the surging lightning energy inside the eggshell.

These eggs haven't hatched yet, but the chicks inside already possess a certain affinity for lightning.

Hmm... High-quality ingredients bring out a numbing sensation when used to make delicious food.

Of course, the eggs are more valuable if used to raise undead or sold directly.

Lynn took out a special space bag for storing active materials and put the eight eggs in one by one.

The bag contains a special array of runes that maintains a constant temperature and humidity and slowly replenishes the energy needed by the eggshell.

Once placed in it, the eggs will remain viable for at least three months.

After putting away the bag, Lynn continued deeper into the cave.

The cave was deeper than expected, and there were even signs of artificial excavation.

After passing through a narrow crevice in the rock, the space suddenly opened up into a naturally formed underground space, three times the size of the outer nest.

There are obvious signs of excavation on the ground.

Lynn squatted down and touched the marks with his hand.

There are still remnants of runes on the rock face. Although most of them have been destroyed by weathering and the claw marks of the Thunderbird, the original outlines can still be vaguely seen.

He stood up and told Kayn to go deeper into the area to investigate.

Moments later, Kayn returned and relayed the message.

Inside was a stone door, engraved with a complex array of runes, and a faint light shone through the cracks in the door.

Lynn walked in that direction.

After walking about fifty meters, a stone gate appeared before us.

The gate is three meters high and two meters wide, and is made entirely of dark gray rock.

The surface of the door was covered with runes, and a pale blue light flowed between the runes.

Lynn stood in front of the door, [Analysis] activated.

One hundred workstations simultaneously analyze those runes.

Ten breaths later, the results came out.

This is a complex sealing array consisting of three layers: energy detection, soul detection, and identity verification.

It can only be opened if three conditions are met simultaneously: injecting energy of a specific frequency, inputting a specific soul fluctuation, and possessing a certain token.

Well... with the "analysis" plugin, none of this is a problem.

Fifteen minutes later, the analysis results came out.

Energy at a specific frequency can be directly simulated; soul fluctuations can be activated using the Thunderbird's soul; as for the token...

Lynn took a Thunderbird egg out of his spatial pouch and placed it in front of the door.

He released the Thunderbird leader's Soulfire Core from the Phase Soul Lamp, letting it hover in front of the door.

Mental energy is adjusted to the frequency determined by analysis and injected into the rune array.

At the same time, the Thunderbird Egg was brought close to the stone gate, and the silver lightning patterns on the eggshell lit up slightly the moment they touched the runes.

All three conditions must be met simultaneously.

The rune array flickered violently.

The pale blue light turned into a blinding white light, and the runes on the door seemed to come alive, flowing and rearranging.

A few breaths later, the stone door slowly opened inward, revealing a staircase extending downwards.

The walls on either side of the staircase are inlaid with glowing crystals, illuminating the path leading deeper into the building.

Lynn put away the Thunderbird Egg and the Soulfire Core, and stepped into the doorway.
