After understanding how terrifying the zombies were with the Scorpion King Ymort’s explanation, Yang Ling did not dared to have any oversight and summoned the Magical Beast Army. He instructed them to arrange layers of ambush within the restricted area.

Although the zombies have an immense amount of strength and deadly Zombie Poison in their bodies, they couldn’t move fast enough. Yang Ling was able to find a solution quickly, even if Ymort’s scorpions were not able to bite them.

Layers of Restrictions were added once again to slow down the sped of the Zombies, and the Horned Bee Beasts were then sent to lure them into the Illusory Formation. After splitting up their formation, the Evil Eyes, bats and other magical beasts were commanded to attack from afar. They didn’t have to come into contact with their opponents at all!

Ow....

The zombies charged forward frantically under the lure of the Horn Bee Beasts and got deeper into the Illusory Formation unknowingly. Upon stepping into the ambush area, they were intensively attacked by the spiders’ stings, and a batch of them collapsed in a blink of an eye.

As they got nearer, they were raided by the group of Evil Eyes that had been awaiting a long time and once again, another batch of them collapsed. Finally, as the group of battle-machine-like Horned Bee Beasts swarmed over and exposed them to their concentrated poison stings, almost all the others collapsed as well. The last few survivors wouldn’t be able to escape the bat’s attack even if they had fast reflexes!

Just like that, the zombies were in a mess under the influence of the Restrictions trap and were all killed by the Magical Beasts Army. No matter how much strength they had and how lethal the poison were in their body, it still wouldn’t be of any use.

Yang Ling heaved a sigh of relief as the remaining zombies decreased and the situation came under control. “What’s the situation here, Ymort?”

“Sir, under normal circumstances, the Underground Tomb would have to wait for at least half a year before sending out new guards. I’m not quite sure of the reason why it’s an exception this time!” Ymort shook his head as he looked at the zombies who emerged suddenly from nowhere. After hesitating for a moment, he continued, “There’s an astonishing number of Zombie Armies from the Underground Tomb. If I’ve guessed correctly, This should be the first batch of troops, the creatures at the back would be even harder to deal with!”

Ow...

As soon as the foul-mouthed Ymort finished his sentence, the Stone Forest Spell Formation began to spin, causing waves of roars that shook the heavens and oozing with rings of concentrated Death Energy. After a flash of red light, a large group of red-eyed zombies appeared in front of them.

These red-eyed creatures were different from the usual zombies as they could fly at a high speed and have an acute sense of smell. After sniffing in the air like a hunter dog, they were actually able to see through Yang Ling’s Illusory Formation and charged directly towards the magical beasts in ambush. Their sharp nails on their hands were like knife blades as it slit through the Evil Eyes’ throats, and were like spears as it pierced into the spiders’ hearts...

More than ten Evil Eyes and spiders that couldn’t retreat in time were lost in a blink of an eye!

The sound of the Horned Bee Beasts firing on their body was so crisp, as if it was fired on a layer of copper board and reflected back. The spiders lurking underneath the ground also sent out waves of stings. However, while it was of no use on these tough and thick-skin zombies, it also exposed their location.

Except for the Evil Eyes’ intensive Light Bomb and the Self-destructing Bats’ continuous explosions that posed some extent of threat, the Horned Bee Beasts, spiders and other low level magical beasts were of no match to these Red-eyed Zombies. If they were to be entangled with these high-speed creatures, they wouldn’t even be able to escape, let alone to attack.

“This is bad, it’s the Red-eyed Zombies. These are the most powerful monsters of the Zombie King Huttings, sir. You have to be careful!” Ymort looked solemn as a group of Red-eyed Zombies pounced towards him. He commanded a bunch of scorpions to charge forward and depended on its massive numbers and perishing method of attack to kill them off.

The scorpions were able to spawn quickly. It wouldn’t matter if a large group of them perished, much less a few. However, the zombie poison in the zombie’s body were too powerful that the scorpions’ soul would be infected after the attack. They wouldn’t be able to harvest on their opponent’s soul, let alone their own soul.

After practicing the Puppet Wizard Mantra, the thousand-million clones Ymort has every single scorpion as his puppet. The death of a group of scorpion wouldn’t affect much of his strength. His only taboo was hurting his soul. Thus, he wouldn’t attack these Red-eyed Zombies personally unless it was his last resort.

“Kekeke, Red-eyed Zombies? I like it!” The Corpse Wizard King behind Yang Ling crackled loudly after sensing the powerful Soul Energy of these Red-eyed Zombies. “Come, dead souls of the other world. Present your blood and soul to the great Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez!”

After crackling out loud, the Corpse Wizard King opened up the Magic Mind Field and charged forward like a gush of wind.

Different from the Dark Dragon King’s Dragon Realm that focused on controlling strength, his Mind Magic Field focused on attacking the soul. It could affect the enemy’s morale and create demons within themselves, which in turn creates hallucinations. It’s able to easily cast curses, weakness, tardiness and other evil spells. It’s also able to attack the enemy’s soul directly!

When he first escaped from the seal in the Underground City, he only had the strength equivalent of level three. It was due to the Mind Magic Field that he was able to match up with the other powerful experts. It would be easy to imagine how powerful the Mind Magic Field is!

Although the Red-eye Corpse moved in high-speed, are invulnerable and had an acute sense of smell, their combat power were significantly reduced under the Corpse Wizard King’s Mind Magic Field. Most importantly, their souls were also attacked constantly by something unknown. Some of them began feeling dizzy and lost, and some of the others rolled on the ground while hugging onto their heads as they screamed in pain. Some of them even lost their mind and started killing each other!

“Kekeke, explode explode explode. Corpse explosion!” He took the opportunity and used continuous Corpse Explosion to kill off the big group of zombies. The Corpse Wizard Kill crackled excitedly as he absorbed a large number of souls.

The zombies that had Corpse Poison laced all over were like porcupines to Scorpion King Ymort as he couldn’t bit into them. On the other hand, they were totally a rare elixir to him. The more souls he absorbed, the closer he was in his recovery back to the state of Domain Peak.

Is this even possible?

Ymort shook his head in awe and summoned back his scorpions as the Corpse Wizard King killed off rows of zombies as if he was cutting wheat. Although he already knew that the Corpse Wizard King wasn’t a simple character, he had never thought that he was this ferocious!

Under the Corpse Wizard King’s continuous attack of Zombie Explosion and Poison Explosion, the Red-eyes zombies that were invulnerable had their arms and legs blown off, and even exploded into a million pieces. Under normal circumstances, they would still be able to crawl forward even if their head were sliced in halves. However, they no longer had that ability after they were assimilated by the Corpse Wizard King.

Soon, the dense and large group of zombies were only down to a few. Yang Ling had wanted to tame a few of them for his research, but he put down his hands and shook his head upon seeing their bloody body, bursting brain, and horrible outlook. It would be better to let the perverted Corpse Wizard King research slowly on these repulsive dead souls instead.

Ow...

At the moment when the last zombie collapsed, there was another deafening roar from the Underground Tomb. Shortly after, the Stone Forest Spell Formation’s red light began flickering, and zombies in black heavy armor that were holding onto giant sickles emerged endlessly. One of them who stood at around three metres tall and carried a huge metal iron was exceptionally eye-catching.

“I didn’t expect that you would have the guts and ability to betray the almighty Pharaoh King, Ymort! Kekeke, you are dead this time!” The guy carrying a huge metal hammer crackled loudly as he looked at Scorpion King Ymort who was standing behind Yang Ling.

He had fought for more than a million years with Ymort in the Underground Tomb. Although he had won most of the battles, he could never once completely get rid of the pile of scorpions that formed Ymort. If not for the Underground Tomb’s rules, he would have led a bunch of zombies to trample on every single scorpions in the Underground Tomb to death, and got rid of Ymort long ago. Now that he has got such a good chance to do so, how could he bear to let it slip by?

“Hehe. If you wish for death, I wouldn’t mind transforming you into a real dead soul, Huttings. Or I could split up your soul and seal each of them in a scorpion for you to get a taste of how it’s like to not be able to dies even if you wished for death!” Ymort smiled coldly at the arrogant Zombie King.

He knew that he still wouldn’t be the Zombie King’s match if he was all alone, and they would at most suffer lost on both sides. However, with the Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez’s help and Yang Ling’s control, he knew that Huttings would never be able to leave this place alive this time round.

“Humph. Go forward and trample on every single scorpion to death!” The Zombie King let out a cold snort at Ymort who was not far away from him, leading the large troop and charging ahead while raising his heavy giant hammer.

“Kekeke, you came at the right time. Offer your blood and soul to the Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez!” Instead of reacting in shock, the Corpse Wizard King was elated and chuckled excitedly as the troop of zombies holding onto giant sickles charged towards him.

It’s was never terrifying to be in a group fight for the Corpse Wizard King, the master in the Mind Magic Field. On the contrary, he could take the chance to seduce the enemy’s soul, triggering the demon deep within their soul and grab the opportunity to defeat them.

As their enemy saw through the Illusory Formation and charged towards murderously, the Dark Dragon King, Purple Rat Little Ice and other Wizard Guards attacked quickly without Yang Ling’s orders.

The Dark Dragon King was spinning in the middle of the air, spewing out mouthful of deadly Dragon Air and emitting firewalls with flames that reached the sky to surround the Zombie Army. Flying Dragon King Seylius moved around freely with his Earth Evasion Spell, and was in charge of attacking the low-level leaders that were giving orders in the Zombie Army. The Purple Rat Little Ice spewed out mouthful of Chilly Ice Energy that were tainted with Ice Poison, and froze the zombies who charged towards her into human-shaped ice poles.

Only the Thousand-faced Mink continued lying on Yang Ling’s shoulders and used the real form of Dark Dragon King, Ymort, Seylius and the others to create many illusions, and commanded them to counterattack fiercely!

“Hahaha. Go to hell, Ymort!”

After commanding the army launch violent attacks, the Zombie King Huttings chased closely after Ymort, wanting to smash him to death with his hammer. He did not noticed that the Yang Ling who was dressed in full black had disappeared, neither did he notice a trace of faint and foreign fragrance emitting in the restricted zone!
