The Undead Disaster continued in this region for eight days, and the ocean of bones had more than doubled in size . Under the guidance of the Disaster Cavalry, the countless Skeletons moved on to the next region .
Seeing the Skeleton army depart, the four City Lords finally relaxed and heavily sighed . They looked at the devastation around their cities and wondered how long this disaster would take to recover from .
At the same time, they were glad that they had reached a settlement with Zhao Fu . Otherwise, if the Skeletons were allowed to do as they pleased, the consequences would have been unimaginable . However, they couldn’t help but wonder what Zhao Fu wanted their help with – after all, they had already signed a contract with him .
The contract was a High-Grade Contract, and Zhao Fu had spent a lot of money to buy it . It bound powerful experts to their word – after all, it was impossible for Zhao Fu to trust an oral promise that had no binding power .
Zhao Fu stood in the air and took out his map, looking at the next region that the ocean of bones would go to . This region was a plains region that had fertile land, and it had many types of crops . It was a pity that all of this would be destroyed soon .
The ocean of bones flooded into the Void Zone, and even the powerful creatures within the Void Zone started to run for their lives . The Void Zone, which was incredibly dangerous to others, wasn’t even an obstacle for the Skeletons .
As the Skeletons entered the next region, the people in the region they had left gave expressions of relief, but the people in the region they entered became incredibly worried . The people who had just survived couldn’t help but feel ecstatic – during the last few days, they had been incredibly worried that the Skeletons would enter the system main cities .
Only now could they relax . Looking at the aftermath outside, they felt incredibly shocked – they had escaped a great disaster .
While these people rejoiced, the people in the next region were about to suffer a calamity . By now, the ocean of bones had doubled in size, and many of them had become Skeleton Soldiers, making the army much stronger .
Soon, the Skeletons passed through the Void Zone and officially stepped into the next region, beginning their slaughter . After gaining more Skeletons in the previous region, the ocean of bones spread through this region even faster .
The region was quickly devoured by the white ocean at a speed at which the eye could see, and massive gray clouds of a deathly aura followed above .
“The Undead Disaster is attacking our region!!” A terrified voice suddenly rang out within a system main city .
After hearing this, countless people’s expressions became grim, and they asked the person who had yelled out if what he said was true and how he knew .
After being surrounded by so many people, that person nervously gulped before saying, “That Undead Disaster has long since entered our region, and many villages have been destroyed by it . My friend’s village was completely annihilated, and he was split in two by a Skeleton Soldier . I was only able to escape using a Teleportation Talisman . ”
After hearing that person’s narrative, everyone started to feel quite afraid, and the news quickly spread . Soon, everyone within that system main city started to panic .
The countless Skeletons detected the aura of living creatures and became incredibly excited . They madly ran forward, devoured whatever they came across, and continuously advanced .
Of course, the Skeletons avoided the center of each of the regions because the aura from there was way too powerful . Those areas were where the most powerful creatures of the regions dwelt .
Facing such a terrifying disaster, the monster rulers didn’t dare to do anything either – evidently, even they weren’t very confident that they could take on so many Skeletons .
Rumble…
Countless beasts ran for their lives, their footsteps sounding like thunder as the ground continuously shook . The Skeletons chased after them, unwilling to let them go as if they were an ocean of beasts chasing after their prey .
Zhao Fu was at the center of the ocean of bones, and because he hid his presence and had the Disaster King Ring, he wasn’t attacked by the Skeletons . However, because of how large the ocean of bones was, he had no idea what was ahead .
Any villages that they encountered were instantly destroyed, and all of the people were killed . Zhao Fu had no idea what was going on because of how big the Skeleton army was, nor could he see any of the destruction .
Because Zhao Fu was unable to control the Skeletons, it was impossible for him to obtain things like City Creation Stones, items, money, and people .
Unfortunately, Zhao Fu had to remain at the center of the ocean of bones because that was where the Disaster Cavalry, who were continuously casting Undead Disaster, were . Even though they had Stage 2 strength, they were still quite weak against City Lords .
If the Disaster Cavalry were killed, the ocean of bones wouldn’t be able to continue growing, and the Skeletons would turn into a pile of loose sand that would dissipate everywhere . They would no longer have the strength and momentum to destroy everything .
The sky was once again covered by a gray deathly aura, and the land gradually lost its vitality . Ten rays of black light shot into the sky, and a 1,000-meter wide magic formation appeared .
The Disaster Cavalry once again cast Undead Disaster, creating many Skeletons again, and the ocean of bones once again expanded .
Even more Skeletons had evolved after killing enough living creatures . The black flames in their skulls became larger, and their bones also grew and had a sheen to them . Their strength also increased .
“Dear, hurry and run!” The countless Skeletons rushed towards a small village, and it was quickly devoured . Pitiful howls rang out . A family ran away but was still caught by the evil Skeletons .
A big man picked up a pitchfork and yelled towards a woman carrying a baby before fearlessly rushing at the Skeletons .
The woman held back her tears as she looked at the big man before hugging her child and running away .
The big man furiously roared, and to protect his wife and child, he used all of his strength as he fought . He sent a Skeleton flying as he swung with his pitchfork, after which he punched another Skeleton away .
At that moment, the big man seemed incredibly dauntless and beat down three Skeletons . However, this was nothing to the ocean of bones, and after he was jumped on by multiple Skeletons, he was quickly bitten to death .
The woman was also soon caught up to . One of the Skeletons suddenly stabbed out, piercing the woman’s body, and a few more Skeletons ran over . The woman coughed up a mouthful of blood, but she tightly held on to her child .
Just as the Skeletons were about to kill the woman and child, a white sword light flashed, slashing the Skeletons away .
