Dark Peak, Blood God Mine.
Clap, clap, clap—
The Dark Star Commander’s expression was cold as she waved her whip and chased the zombie miners away.
For a moment, he narrowed his eyes. Concern flickered beneath the luminous green.
“Master seems to have gone to the Ghost Cry Mound map. That area is guarded by a venerable. I wonder how he is now.”
Whoosh—
At this moment, an extremely obscure fluctuation came from the consciousness level.
His expression did not change. He snorted and told everyone present, “Continue digging. If you don’t dig out more than ten tons of Blood God Crystal before lunch in the afternoon, you’ll all remain hungry!”
With that, he turned around and returned to the side hall of the Corpse King’s Cave.
He held his breath for a moment. When his heart rate returned to normal, he sat down cross-legged and entered the hidden space with his consciousness.
“You summoned me, Master?” Dusk asked.
“Yes, there’s something very important that I need you to do.” Lin Ye nodded.
“Master, please speak. As long as it’s something I can do, I’ll do my best!” Dark Star said solemnly.
“There’s no hurry. Who’s guarding the cave of the Corpse King at Dark Peak? Are you qualified to enter the core area?” Lin Ye asked.
“The safety of the vicinity of the Zombie King’s Cave is guarded by me and the other eight commanders. As for the core area, we need all the commanders to gather and open it together,” Dark Star said truthfully.
“We actually need all the commanders together?” Lin Ye frowned.
He had thought that with the Dark Star’s help, he could shatter Blood Vengeance’s Life Origin Crystal without anyone knowing.
But now, it seemed that Blood Vengeance was indeed as cautious and cunning as Ghost Cry had said.
“That’s right. Venerable Blood Vengeance has always been cautious. Other than himself, he won’t trust any zombie subordinates. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sealed the Dark Chief Mountain Map. Unless one forcefully breaks through the Blood God Array, one won’t have a chance to fight his way into this part.” Dark Star nodded regretfully.
If not for that, he would have wanted to cooperate with the human master and massacre Dark Chief Mountain while Venerable Blood Vengeance was not around.
After all, this area could be considered the richest mine in the preliminary map of the Zombie Realm.
With the Blood God Mine behind him, the Blood God Crystals dug every day were an astonishing resource reserve.
“Is there a big difference in strength between you and the other commanders? Do you have a way to kill them?” Lin Ye asked again.
“Ah…” Dark Star was sweating profusely. It instinctively felt that his master was intending to do something big.
After thinking about it carefully, he said, “Among the nine commanders, Commander Dark Flame and I are the strongest. The others combined are only comparable to Dark Flame and me. It will be a little difficult to kill them.”
“The Dark Chief Mountain Map is huge. The commanders are guarding the Blood God mines everywhere.”
“Everyone’s doing their jobs. Everyone’s tied down. We don’t usually meet.”
“We only meet in front of the Zombie King’s Vault when we deliver the Blood God Crystals.”
“If we really have to attack, I can break through them one by one. In two days, it will be time for the weekly delivery of the Blood God Crystal. If I’m careful, I can set up an ambush on the way to the Corpse King’s Cave. There’s a chance that I can ambush and occupy the geographical advantage.”
“Two days?”
Lin Ye shook his head. “It’s too long. I need to resolve these problems in two hours and destroy the Life Origin Crystal in the core area of the Zombie King’s Cave.”
“Two hours!!”
“And destroy the Life Origin Crystal!”
Dark Star Commander’s eyes widened with bitter amusement.
This was the first time the new season’s Human Lord had given him a mission.
Although he really wanted to complete it, it was almost impossible.
To even kill Dark Flame commander of the same level as him.
It would probably take two hours, and he might not even be able to win after a fierce battle.
If he let loose and fought all-out, the other commanders would be attracted by the commotion and would have long led their zombie armies to swarm over.
At that time, not to mention completing anything, even he would be beaten to death.
Unless…
He could instantly kill all the commanders.
But that was even more unlikely.
As for shattering the Life Origin Crystal in the core area, he didn’t even dare to think about it.
It was said that one had to have combat strength above Level 20 to shatter it. He knew very well what he was capable of.
He sighed inwardly. Even though he was a little embarrassed, he still said sincerely, “Master, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. I don’t have the ability to guarantee that I can complete the mission.”
“Still, if you insist, I’ll do as you say and assassinate the other commanders.”
“No, you do.”
Seeing Dark Star’s stunned expression, Lin Ye suddenly smiled.
He clapped. “Congratulations, Dark Star. You’ve earned my trust.”
Since the first and second meeting in the Shadow Space.
Heart’s Web, Listening, Hint, and other innate skills showed the Dark Star’s true thoughts.
Especially when he revealed the plan. It seemed like a mission to send the Dark Star to its death, but his emotions remained the same and did not waver.
No doubt this was a zombie undercover who was truly loyal to humanity.
“What are you saying, Master?” Dark Star asked wryly.
Although he did not know how Lin Ye had verified his loyalty, and he had no objection to doing so, the problem was…
Even if he had absolute loyalty, he had to face the mission of killing all the commanders of the Dark Chief Mountain and shattering the Life Origin Crystal in the core area.
He had no confidence at all. This was almost impossible.
“Don’t worry. If I say you can, you can.”
Lin Ye was calm and composed. Suddenly, he shouted, “Look into my eyes!”
“?”
Dark Star didn’t understand. He did as he was told.
Meeting Lin Ye’s eyes, invisible energy instantly surged into his consciousness.
In an instant, it was as if he had comprehended it for hundreds of years. His mental cultivation rose like a rocket.
“Is this… an illusion?”
He opened his palm. The extreme joy he felt was beyond imagination, so much so that even his firm will could feel a trace of fear.
“Don’t be afraid. This is the forbidden time technique I cultivate. Dream Of A Thousand Years. As the name implies, you can cultivate a thousand years in your sleep. However, this shadow space is very special. It will block some of the time energy. Don’t think about a thousand years. At most, it will be slightly more than five hundred years.”
Lin Ye’s calm voice appeared in his sea of consciousness as he continued, “Even so, this is enough time. In the next few hundred years, not only will your physical body become stronger, but your mental cultivation will increase greatly beyond imagination.”
“Master, but I don’t know any mental secret techniques. It’s very difficult for the zombie system to produce mental secret techniques,” Dark Star quickly said.
“It’s fine.”
Lin Ye chuckled. “I naturally had a plan since I was able to send you in. The Mental Cultivation Technique is a mental secret technique that I once cultivated. It’s not a top-notch mental secret technique, but it’s stable and can be cultivated by any lifeform. It can steadily increase your mental realm.”
“Secondly, on behalf of [Blackheart], I’ll teach you the first part of the Nine Catastrophes. They’re called the Doomsday Calamity, the Great Sun Fire Calamity, and the Black Heaven Wind Calamity. It can help you kill the eight commanders. Those whose mental realm is inferior to yours can be killed instantly.”
“As for shattering the Life Origin Crystal, the mental secret technique is invisible and intangible. It’s not easy to break. On behalf of the Five Elements Divine Sect, I’ll teach you the first volume of the Five Elements Divine Technique. With the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique, you can increase your attack power by more than ten times.”
“Your physical attacks will exceed Level 20. Reaching Level 22 and 23 shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Wait, I still feel that it’s not very safe. That bastard Blood Vengeance is so sneaky. The news he released is that one can only break the Life Origin Crystal at Level 20. Who knows, that bastard might still have a backup plan.”
“How about this? I’ll teach you another secret technique that can unleash endless power. However, this secret technique is very dangerous. Are you willing to try it?”
