Chapter 339: Chapter 258: Entering the Fourth Level—Castle of the Undead

A smooth talk, successfully duping a group of Undead Dwarves into the trap and becoming Zi Liyuan’s laborers, embarking on a passionate, turbulent 007-like working life from then on.

Undead don’t feel tired, which makes them exceptional laborers not to be squandered. How could I not exploit them to the fullest, lest I fail the dark heart of a capitalist like Lord Zi?

With the addition of these Undead Dwarves, the undead legion had certainly gained its strongest pathfinders.

After all, this entire Castle of the Undead was built from scratch by these Undead Dwarves when they were alive.

Even if the original master, the Undead Mage, had made some alterations to certain places, those changes were merely minor, unable to be anything extensive.

Meanwhile, Lord Zi treasured these Undead Dwarves like precious pearls, for they were the super talents that held most of the Dwarf Race’s technology tree. If used properly, they could rapidly help Shen Yurou and the spaceship gather various dark tech knowledge.

What pleased him more was that after entering the bunkers they established, he gained a large number of technological creations, including several newly cast Magic Crystal Cannons!

The only pity was that the Demon Crystals used in the Magic Crystal Cannons were somewhat scarce in the Necro Realm and could not be used without restraint.

But that was reasonable; if there were plenty of Demon Crystals for the Undead Dwarves to squander, why would they have bothered to build bunkers in this labyrinth for defense?

Mere dozen or so Epic Boss prototypes, arguably pseudo-Epic Bosses, with sufficient energy Demon Crystals for the Magic Crystal Cannons, disposing of them would be no trouble at all.

Of course, the Magic Crystal Cannons were a pleasant surprise, but the biggest surprise was the monitoring system concocted by these Undead Dwarves.

A type of brainwave control helmet allowed the brainwashing and direct control of certain creatures.

In this underground labyrinth, there were various tiny bugs, which these Undead Dwarves brainwashed and dominated using soul fluctuations, then scattered to establish an extensive monitoring network.

Not to mention the exact locations of a dozen Epic Bosses in the maze, all bosses in the entire labyrinth couldn’t escape their monitoring!

Thus, the following actions became much simpler.

With the inclusion of these strongest Undead Dwarf pathfinders, Epic Beasts teamed up in trios, along with Lao Tie, Demon Spiders, and the Spider Queen.

Four small teams, each paired with evenly distributed Undead Lord Bosses, started their dungeon cleaning under the guidance of the Undead Dwarves.

All of them were exiled experimental subjects here, the least being Rare Boss templates, with the majority being Hero and Lord Boss templates.

After clearing out all the Undead Bosses, they would not only acquire a great deal of resources but also purify the living environment of the Undead Dwarves so they wouldn’t fall into danger in the future.

These were the talents behind technology, irreplaceable pearls, and losing even one was a significant loss to Lord Zi.

Rare and Hero Bosses were essentially wiped out, the Lord Bosses had a bit of resistance but couldn’t withstand Epic Beasts or the Spider Queen’s ruthlessness.

Only the Epic Bosses could put up a fight, but given the advantage in numbers and the support from the unscrupulous Undead Lord Bosses,

the dozen Epic Bosses were frustratingly beaten to death in succession, with even their corpses collected as Lord Zi’s materials for future research or explosion experiments.

However, this labyrinth was massive, and it took a full three days to clear out all the Undead Bosses within.

The deaths of several thousand Bosses resulted in a naturally immense harvest. Even if the quality was somewhat questionable, it was far from meager.

At the least, Lord Zi could now almost gather enough resources for one trade with the military forces.

“Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One, are you sure this is the entrance to the next level?”

Zi Liyuan looked at the huge well in front of him emanating red light and heat waves with a look of astonishment on his face.

It was a lava well, churning with scorching magma. Just approaching the well, one could feel the intense stench of sulfur and terrifying high temperatures.

“You’re sure that jumping down will teleport us to the fourth level underground?”

Jump into a lava well, really?

Even with Zi Liyuan’s current physical strength nearing two thousand, he wouldn’t dare take a dip in it; the magma was truly hot enough to char him into coke and melt him into ashes!

Then he was told there was a hidden teleportation circle beneath the well, which was the true and only entrance to the underground fourth level.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had signed servant contracts with these Undead Dwarves, Lord Zi would have suspected that the Undead Dwarf was trying to trick him to his death.

“Correct, this underground lava well was specially constructed by us and carved with a teleportation circle,”

This lava well wasn’t just the entrance to the fourth level; it was also the power switch for the energy core of the fifth level!

They had used numerous methods to build this lava well. Originally, they also wanted to create a lava smelter to facilitate their Dwarven crafting, but…

Remembering the ruthless, cold-hearted Undead Mage, even Copperbeard·Skeleton Number One, who had once died and been revived, felt a gnashing frustration.

If not for the strength of the Undead Mage, who had not been completely eradicated to this day, they would have long since organized a force, invaded the fourth level region, and emptied the true lair of the Undead Mage!
