Chapter 41: After Modification: Chapter 41 2nd Era: Land of Burial
Skeleton Hills.
On a piece of flat ground.
Hundreds of newborn spiderlings were engaged in mutual slaughter.
As time passed.
These spiderlings were successively devoured by their own kind, leaving fewer and fewer alive.
Finally.
The spider with black and white markings lived to the end.
However, compared to when it was just born.
This spider had grown significantly larger, like a small calf.
The shell on its back was shiny and glossy, like an indestructible suit of armor.
Its spider legs had become sharp and hard, like war spears forged of steel.
If you overlooked its innocent and ignorant gaze.
Simply judging by its fierce and menacing appearance, it was undoubtedly a formidable demon beast that incited fear.
What surprised Lu Yuan even more was.
This little spider seemed to have inherited the Calamity Mark of the Earth Cave Demon Spider.
With just a single thought, he could control its every move.
"From now on, I’ll call you Xiaobai."
Lu Yuan said with dark amusement.
The little spider tilted its head, its eyes somewhat baffled, as if trying hard to understand what Lu Yuan said.
Three days later.
Lu Yuan led the Skeleton Army to conquer a medium-sized goblin tribe that had over ten thousand members.
Despite their desperate resistance.
In the face of a group of tough-skinned giants and skeleton boars, the goblins’ damage and attacks were as weak as a tickling scratch.
To save his life, the Goblin Chief eagerly led Lu Yuan to a dungeon.
Claiming to have a great treasure and surprise to present to him.
But when Lu Yuan saw the scene in the dungeon.
The blood-colored Soul Fire in his hollow eye sockets surged violently, emitting a chilling killing intent!
Because in the dark, filthy, and damp dungeon.
A group of ragged slaves were being held.
Most of them were humans.
In addition.
There were beastmen, dwarves, centaurs...
But without exception.
All of these slaves were female!
From their numb and dazed expressions, it was easy to tell.
This group of women had likely been subjected to unimaginable tortures.
"Is this the treasure you mentioned?" Lu Yuan asked coldly, his heart seething with killing intent.
Even though he was now a skeleton, he still retained human emotions.
When he saw these women tortured beyond recognition, he too felt an uncontrollable anger.
And giving women to a skeleton?
How could you even come up with such a ludicrous idea?
"They’ve been well-trained and are excellent breeding tools!"
Sensing the killing intent emanating from Lu Yuan.
The Goblin Chief trembled with fear, even his voice quivered as he spoke.
He couldn’t understand.
He had clearly offered the best gift from his tribe.
Why was Lu Yuan still angry?
After all.
Goblins were a subhuman species with only males and no females.
They could only reproduce by capturing females from other races.
After breeding, they would kill the females, and those unable to breed would be eaten.
So in the Goblin Chief’s mind.
These female slaves, hard won, were even more precious than gold.
Looking at the hellish dungeon.
Lu Yuan said nothing.
He turned and with one sword stroke.
Sliced the ugly, short Goblin Chief in half.
Then.
Under his command.
The Catastrophe Legion slaughtered all the goblins, burning their remains to ashes.
This nauseating race wasn’t even worthy of becoming Catastrophe Servants.
Lu Yuan opened the dungeon, freeing the prisoners inside.
This group of women, after the goblins’ day after day, inhumane torment.
Had lost their sanity, resembling numb walking corpses, completely unaware of the outside world.
Lu Yuan sent people to escort them to a nearby human town, quietly leaving a small bag of gold coins, enough for them to live the rest of their lives.
As an ordinary skeleton, this was the most he could do, going as far as humanly possible.
However, during the recent massacre, Lu Yuan accidentally discovered.
One Catastrophe Skeleton needed to kill one hundred wild skeletons to advance to a Tier Two Skeleton Warrior.
But if it was a goblin or other biological being.
A Catastrophe Skeleton only needed to kill ten goblins to advance successfully.
"Could it be because the souls of the living are stronger than those of wild skeletons?"
Lu Yuan pondered in his mind.
In the following days.
The Catastrophe Legion went on to massacre more than a dozen goblin tribes.
These goblin tribes ranged in size.
Large tribes had close to ten thousand members, while small ones had only a few hundred.
But Lu Yuan accepted them all, and under his command.
The Catastrophe Legion bathed in rivers of blood, severed heads rolling.
And Xiaobai charged at the forefront.
Despite its usually adorable, harmless appearance.
Once it entered battle mode, it became a born killing machine.
Xiaobai moved nimbly across the battlefield, leaping and darting, as if in an uninhabited land!
Its spider legs were like sharp, hard war spears, effortlessly piercing through enemy skulls.
From its mouth, it spat thin, transparent silk, highly tenacious, unable to be broken even by Tier Three Demons.
It seemed to possess an innate killing talent, facing enemies, it almost didn’t need to think, finding the best attack angle purely by instinct.
The entire battle was seamless and swift, like a splendid performance, full of artistry and spectacle!
Countless severed limbs floated in pools of blood, even the thick soil beneath soaked with blood!
More than fifty thousand goblins fell under Lu Yuan’s blade.
The Catastrophe Legion also gained more than three thousand skeleton swordsmen!
When the last Goblin Chief was hanged on a branch with silk by Xiaobai.
Its body shook, emitting the powerful aura of a Tier Four Demon!
Xiaobai’s stunning performance left Lu Yuan in awe.
Under the influence of the Calamity Mark.
Xiaobai’s Earth Cave Demon Spider bloodline seemed to undergo some form of mutation.
If it could be nurtured, it would surely become a general in the Catastrophe Legion in the future!
Additionally, in the goblin tribe’s Treasure Vault.
Lu Yuan found a large amount of gold and silver, as well as a small map.
The map was very rudimentary.
Probably drawn by some Goblin Chief himself, marking only a few important locations.
The map’s coverage was less than a hundred miles in radius.
According to the map.
He had crossed a major part of the Skeleton Hills, getting close to the Kaggar Mountain Range.
Beyond the Kaggar Mountain Range was the border of the Laine Empire.
And not far from the Skeleton Hills.
There was a dangerous area called the Land of Burial.
Once a battlefield in ancient times.
Various kingdoms fought here, leaving countless corpses and souls.
Under the corrosion of the Abyss’s aura.
These corpses came back to life, all converted into undead.
Especially after thousands of years of gestation and evolution.
The number of skeletons in the Land of Burial had become countless.
There were at least tens of millions of skeletons.
To avoid causing any trouble.
Every few years.
The Royal Family of the Laine Kingdom had to send troops to clear them out.
Moreover, according to rumors Lu Yuan heard.
It’s said that deep within the Land of Burial.
A powerful Tier Six Bone Dragon lay dormant!
