Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

These resurrected corpses can only be harvested for some top-quality materials or used as material for the Corpse Explosion Technique.

As for using the Necromancer's ultimate ability "Rebirth" to resurrect the corpses again, forget about it.

The "Rebirth" skill requires a strand of residual soul and a relatively intact body, but these corpses, resurrected by some Rule, don't have even a shred of soul left; they've been drained completely clean.

Moreover, after being killed again, these resurrected bodies will not drop anything; their only value is to become the shell for an Epic Boss.

Dragging them back to dissect and distribute the parts, one can obtain quite a few epic materials, which are highly prized by many Life Professionals.

At least Dilys and the four sisters of the Fan Family would definitely want them. Array Masters and Alchemists have a much higher pursuit of top-quality materials than he, a Necromancer, does.

After conducting several experiments and recovering three Epic Boss corpses, Dilys came back.

"Master, I inspected the situation within a 50,000-meter radius; I nearly lost my bearings several times. This eternal night and extreme cold definitely affect one's sense of direction."

"Did you find anything nearby?"

This perpetual night condition can also block spiritual exploration and mislead one's sense of direction, especially when flying through the air; it's all too easy.

"I found some resource points on the surface, all rare resources, and the quality of most is fine or higher."

"Did you discover any corpse-like things?"

Given the limitations of the Underworld's dimension on the surface, it would be abnormal not to have high-quality resource points.

Just wanting to mine them is not so easy though.

Just now, Zi Liyuan had summoned some Skeletons, but they immediately turned into lumps of ice, shattering into debris upon touch.

Even if he summoned Lord Skeletons with a standard monster template, they were instantly defeated.

This also allowed Zi Liyuan to discover that ordinary creatures of standard monster templates will not be resurrected and mutated after dying in the surface world.

Only the corpses of monsters with a Boss template will be resurrected and mutated into stronger Epic Boss template monsters under the influence of Rule Power.

Of course, the Rule Power of the surface can only produce up to Epic Bosses at most.

"There are corpses, but they are all ice-encased, and they are all frozen corpses of Boss-type monsters, scattered fairly far apart," Dilys reported.

Her words reminded Zi Liyuan of his earlier Skeleton summoning experiment.

Ordinary monsters summoned to the surface had their Life Force devoured by the eternal night and extreme cold instantly, and within thirty seconds, their bodies would crumble into icy chaff and merge into the frozen soil.

Only the bodies of Boss monsters would be ice-encased without disintegrating and blending with the frozen ground, and if any living creature approached these Boss corpses, the corpses would mutate, resurrect, and hammer the living creature to death.

A peculiar protective mechanism; thus, to exploit the surface world's resources, one must clear out all those ice-encased bodies and recover them completely.

However, there was no need to rush. Although he was in dire need of rare resources and materials of fine quality, he did not have enough manpower to develop here.

Ordinary monsters appearing on the surface were devoured and killed by the eternal night and extreme cold. Only Boss monsters could be exploited, but most of the Undead Bosses in Zi Liyuan's possession were high-level goods.

As for the Bosses of the eight Undead Species in the Castle of the Undead, who knows if they would run away immediately without a contract, much less compel them to perform grueling labor.

After all, the intelligence of the Bosses is comparable to that of normal Humans, if not superior.

"Let's go. We'll leave this place for future development; first, let's explore the situation in the Underworld," Zi Liyuan said as he mounted Dilys alongside his trusty iron companion and returned to the underground tunnels.

For now, he had given up on tracking the direction of the Insect Race's nest.

The enemy was resolute in running away, clearly taking advantage of the surface world to escape, and they even flew off, leaving no trace to be found nearby.

At that moment, the insect nest underground had been completely destroyed.

The Spider Queen had absorbed all the energy from the Mycelium. The unhatched insect cocoons all withered and died.

And as the Mycelium lost all its energy, it gradually became inactive, then shriveled into leathery pieces, cracking into countless fragments.

Having absorbed the energy and nutrients from the Mycelium, the Spider Queen produced a large number of millstone-sized spiders, scattering them out to be used as Scouts.

The insect nest area encompassed seven gigantic caverns, but this was just the main core area; an even larger peripheral zone also fell under the Insect Race's dominion.

The Underworld's network of tunnels is extensive. In addition to the passageways dug by the Insects themselves, there are three natural connecting tunnels unique to the Underworld that lead to the Insect Race's domain.

Essentially, after traveling a hundred and eighty miles down each natural tunnel, one would come across a vast cavern.

Within these caverns, some resources and various monster groups appear, some powerful and some weak.

The vast caverns near the insect nest had all been devastated by the Insect Race, and one could say they were completely empty, with every resource pillaged completely clean.

This was indeed frustrating.

Indeed, the saying that Insects leave no blade of grass behind is not without merit.

Any substance with even a hint of energy, whether it be elemental or biological, would be plundered by these marauding Insects and turned into provisions, breeding new Insects.
