Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge-Chapter 577 - 377: Think You Can Run? There’s a Price to Pay!_2
"It’s a shame we didn’t catch the commander behind the insect swarm, or the gains would have been even greater,"
Staring at the bodies of nearly seven to eight million insects on the ground, Lord Zi’s eyes shimmered with gold.
The harvest was huge, making it far more worthwhile than the reconstruction of the domain buildings that had been destroyed again!
After messaging Xiao Guang, he had Fan Yuer and the others return, and Zi Liyuan immediately began to rebuild an altar.
Most of the buildings within the domain, except those near the Lord’s Mansion, had been completely destroyed.
And since the altar was some distance from the Lord’s Mansion, it had been directly crushed by the rear-end of an Epic insect.
"Damn it, I just summoned over a thousand White Jade Skeletons yesterday, and now almost all of them have been killed overnight."
While cursing under his breath, Zi Liyuan waved his bone staff, and more than thirty thousand Little Skeletons appeared around him.
Then, he directly threw them onto the altar, ten at a time, to activate the sacrifice function.
One after another, White Jade Skeletons emerged from the altar.
Ten Little Skeletons went up, and one White Jade Skeleton came down.
Moving in an orderly rhythm, Zi Liyuan watched until the corner of his eye began to twitch.
Especially since there were too many working Skeletons that had died this time.
Practically all of the Little Skeletons that had been working in the western forest had been wiped out.
It couldn’t be helped; the Little Skeletons were only Level 1 and would perish upon the slightest touch from the insects.
The hundred thousand working Little Skeletons had been bitten to death by thousands of small insects, forcing Lord Zi to continue summoning and then reassign their working positions.
In just a few seconds, the Lightspeed Shuttling Spaceship appeared in the sky above the domain, and Fan Yuer and the others returned to the domain.
It was necessary to send them away at that moment because Zi Liyuan was about to use the "Death Tide" ability, a massive AOE skill that did not differentiate between friend and foe.
Even though they were his subordinates and enjoyed the benefits of a Level 10 Lord’s Mansion, their strength was not suppressed by the Sea of Realms and they still maintained their Fourth Order Peak status.
But a single instance of 30,000+ damage, especially to the Spirit, could lead to unlikely accidents, right?
Of course, the four sisters Fan Yuer and Sikong You could withstand it without a problem, but what about the others?
The Mechanic, Forging Master, and Array Master, even with a set of Fourth Order silver hero equipment provided by Zi Liyuan, did not have more than five hundred thousand hit points.
This was unavoidable. For every major advancement task, with Xiao Yurou’s help, they only managed to clear the rare mode.
Thus, the enhancement to their attributes was limited, and with the added equipment, their attributes were at least five times lesser than those of a freak like Zi Liyuan.
If Lord Zi were to unleash "Death Tide" ten times, he feared he might even wipe out these subordinates.
After all, they were talents he had recruited with great effort, so naturally, he couldn’t accidentally kill them, could he?
"Yuer, you guys help direct the Undead army and clean up these insect corpses,"
At the moment, the ground was covered not only with innumerable insect corpses but also with many more items of loot.
Boss monsters drop equipment, while ordinary insect monsters only drop various materials.
However, with Zi Liyuan’s fortunate relationship with Lady Luck, whether it was equipment or materials, the quality of the goods was extremely high.
But at that moment, Fan Yuer and the others were somewhat stupefied. The dense insect corpses and the various loot mixed in with them made their hearts palpitate.
With eight million insect corpses, the drop rate must be in the tens of millions. How long would it take to clean all this up?
A group of people gave Lord Zi a look as if they were eyeing livestock and reluctantly joined the treasure-digging army.
Fortunately, nearly a million Undead creatures had come through the portal this time, and with their help transporting insect corpses, the sorting could be done quickly.
The common insects were piled together, forming several fifty-meter-tall mountains of insect corpses just outside the domain.
The number of BOSS insects was also significant, with tens of thousands, though most were just elite BOSS templates and only a few rare BOSS templates.
As for the Hero, Lord, and Epic BOSS template insects, there were over two thousand in total, which were placed separately.
```
The corpses of these high-tier bugs can yield plenty of top-grade materials after being decomposed, especially the bodies of Epic Bosses.
Lord Zi certainly isn’t planning to waste the corpses of Epic Boss bugs, as they are premium materials for the Corpse Explosion Technique!
He had never even considered using the "Resurrection" skill to revive them.
With plenty of Epic Bosses on hand, and these bugs only being so strong, using "Resurrection" would be a pure waste of slots.
After entering the Sea of Realms, the skill level cap was locked, allowing only an increase up to Level 20.
Thanks to the effects of the Epic set, Lord Zi managed to boost his skills to Level 25, which gave him 25 slots to revive bosses in total.
How could he possibly waste them on Epic Bosses?
Aren’t Legendary Bosses more appealing?
Or are Holy Domain Bosses not mighty enough?
While sacrificing Little Skeletons and creating White Jade Skeletons, Zi Liyuan opened the chat channel.
Zi Liyuan: @Shen Yurou, honey, do you have a device that purifies toxins from food?
With eight million bug corpses thrown into the slaughterhouse for decomposition, a tremendous amount of meat units will surely be obtained.
But the blood of these bugs is corrosive, the stronger the bug, the more corrosive its blood.
If we can’t purify this corrosive substance, this bug meat cannot be eaten as rations at all.
It’s not like we can just throw away all this bug meat, right? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss of resources?
Shen Yurou: A food purifier can be made, but under current conditions, I can only produce ones that purify toxins from normal monsters, not bosses; we lack precision machinery to create higher-order, high-quality components.
Zi Liyuan: Love you to death, honey. Please make at least ten for starters, we’ve harvested too many bug corpses this time.
While speaking, he took a few pictures of the mountain of bug corpses outside and sent them to Shen Yurou.
Shen Yurou: (⊙o⊙)??? What happened, did you have a bug disaster? Were you attacked by monsters?
Zi Liyuan: What monster siege, my city walls are only half built, and I ran into a bug calamity. If it weren’t for my sizable Undead army, we might very well have been finished.
Shen Yurou: No, why would there be a bug calamity, which is such a terrifying event, in a new world meant to accommodate new Lords?
Zi Liyuan: There’s a high chance it’s because within the three days of Sea Sky Path protection, I was shearing its wool, so to speak, and got targeted... (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻!
Shen Yurou: No wonder you managed to gather resources for the Level 10 Lord’s Mansion so quickly; you were shearing the Sea Sky Path. Serves you right for being targeted.

Zi Liyuan: Can’t help it, Lord Zi is just that awesome o( ̄▽ ̄)d!
Shen Yurou: I won’t talk to you anymore, I’m going to make the food purifier for you, it’ll take about two hours, handcrafting parts is too slow.
Zi Liyuan:(づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭~
Shen Yurou: Scram(ノ`Д)ノ~!
The various mechanical creations Shen Yurou could make, Xiao Guang’s database had all the blueprints, but he could not make them; it requires a Mechanic to get hands-on.
As for the three apprentice Mechanics they had recruited, although Xiao Guang and Xiao Yurou had coached them for nearly half a year, handcrafting various lathes or machines was still quite difficult for them.
Most of the mechanical creations these three Mechanics were familiar with were related to armaments; regarding household mechanical items, they were not so well-versed.
"Li Yuan, how should we handle these green-quality materials?"
Fan Yuer came over and directly tossed two [Blood Vein Pouches] into Zi Liyuan’s arms.
"Whoa, why so many?"
Spirit delved into the [Blood Vein Pouches] to check and saw that all eighty slots were filled, each containing 200 identical items.
All of them were green-quality materials, all insect carapaces, sturdy enough to rival refined copper iron, making them good materials for crafting armor.
Two pouches, 160 slots, 32,000 pieces of elite-quality carapaces.
"Keep a small part for the apprentice Forging Masters to practice with, and sell the rest in the trade market."
