Chapter 255: Chapter 216: “Death Ripple” Sweeps Across the Field Clearing Mobs

“Damn! I’ve brought the boss squad all the way to your lair, and you’re still hovering in the air. Have you given up on your Dragon Lair or what?!”

Having achieved his goal, Zi Liyuan, craning his neck, looked up at the sky, watching the Black Dragons still wholeheartedly helping him pulverize Bone Dragons into dust. For a moment, even Lord Zi found himself at a loss for words.

Now, he had also figured it out.

These Black Dragons knew they were no match for the epic beast bosses on the ground, so they stubbornly refused to land, preferring to abandon their Dragon Lair rather than descend to certain death.

It was frustrating, his emotions fluctuating wildly…

“F*ck!”

Flipping a middle finger at the sky, Lord Zi’s spirit shook; all the summoned Bone Dragons, Wraith Mages, and rare Zombie Boss teams were dismissed and sent back to the Netherworld.

Without the restraint and manipulation of the Zombie Kings and little Zombie Bosses, the tens of thousands of remaining Zombies on the battlefield instantly descended into chaos.

Zi Liyuan, taking a deep breath, now saw through the Black Dragons’ intentions. However, without control over the air superiority, he was unable to stop these Black Dragons from fleeing.

So instead of focusing on the Black Dragon Bosses, he decided to directly invade the Black Dragon’s nest and loot everything in sight.

The rewards for destroying a monster nest actually consist of three parts.

The first part involves slaying the monsters generated by the nest. You can obtain equipment, items, materials, and corpses dropped by the monsters, with value determined by the type of monsters the nest generates.

For instance, a nest that produces fodder creatures like green-skinned Goblins will differ vastly in value compared to one that spawns Black Dragons and other Dragon Descendants, like the Black Dragon’s nest.

The second part is the various resources produced by the monster nest, including minerals, herbs, gems, treasure chests, and even the treasures collected by the monsters inside the nest.

The value of these items is also dependent on the type of monsters the nest generates.

For example, materials produced by a Goblin nest would be the most basic commodities, whereas a Black Dragon’s nest would yield higher-tier resources, not to mention the treasures amassed by the Black Dragon Lord Boss himself.

The third part is the destruction of the monster nest’s core, which is equivalent to seizing the essence of the nest and will condense into a special monster nest treasure box.

Within this special treasure box, you can find an abundance of rare resources and even a small chance to obtain various resources only usable within the Sea of Realms.

But opening treasure boxes is purely a matter of luck; a “Luck Emperor” might find that the treasures within the second part outweigh what they get from this special box, but for a “non-Luck Emperor,” a big haul is almost guaranteed.

As for Zi Liyuan, he never believed in this luck emperor non-luck emperor nonsense; he only believed in the silky long legs of his lucky goddess wife, snuggling into them, feeling soft, comfortable, and overwhelmingly intoxicating.

Destroying a monster nest is easy, but completely annihilating one is an extremely difficult task.

This is because even if you destroy the core of a monster nest, it only disperses for a while. Once the damaged essence is restored, the destroyed monster nest will reappear.

Therefore, to completely eradicate a monster nest, there is only one method on Blue Star, which is to use the Lord’s Heart to purify the area where the monster nest is located.

This process is akin to the Lord’s Heart purifying a region contaminated by an invasion from another plane, erasing the spatial coordinates that connect to the other dimension completely.

In the current situation, it was no longer possible to stick to the original plan of completely exterminating all the nest monsters, especially since those three Black Dragons outside wouldn’t just obediently lay down their lives.

Thus, Zi Liyuan’s focus shifted away from killing all the monsters to looting resources.

Entering the Black Dragon’s lair was actually a large mountain on Dragon Island, but a cave was made within it, and the interior had been almost hollowed out by Black Dragons and their blood descendants.

A fascinating design, the center of the mountain was hollowed out, with a spiraling pathway leading upward.

The inside of the mountain was divided into three levels. The topmost level housed ordinary Dragon Beasts, the second level was inhabited by Dragon Blood warriors and Sub-Dragon Beast Bosses, and the third level was where the Black Dragons nestled.

As for intruders who ventured into the Black Dragon’s lair, they naturally faced attacks from the Dragon Beasts inside the nest.

But how could those standard Dragon Beasts be a match for an army of Undead Bosses?

It was clear that from the moment the ferocious behemoths entered the Black Dragon’s lair, a river of blood was destined to flow inside.

As he watched the Undead Bosses slay without respite, Zi Liyuan didn’t idle either, beginning to summon the undead legions once more.

Still leading with the rare Zombie Boss squad, he then directed the Wraith Mage teams while simultaneously throwing corpses from his Spatial Backpack.

As one corpse after another was infected and pulled up by the little Zombie Bosses, and more Zombies stood up to be commanded to block the entrance of the Black Dragon’s lair, they hindered the reinforcements of the Dragon Beasts from outside.

They were cannon fodder after all, and their main role was to slit the battlefield, buy time, and secure opportunities for the numerous Undead Bosses.

At the same time, Lord Zi also began to unleash his skills. This time, he cast a massive area-of-effect ultimate ability—”Death Ripple.”

[Death Ripple (LV19): Assaults the spirits of the living with death energy (ineffective against undead creatures), inflicting 290% spiritual damage (3878) per second over a maximum range equal to the spiritual scan (3878 meters). Upon activation, it immediately consumes 10,000 Spiritual Energy, with a subsequent drain of 5,000 Spiritual Energy per second. It can be turned off at will, entering a 10-minute cooldown once deactivated. (Note: This skill ignores all resistances and can only be resisted by spiritual protection spells or items.)]
