200: A pillow brought to you when you're sleepy

When Gu Qinghan had almost finished off the Zhan Insects on the ground, the giant insect in the sky immediately chose to retreat.

Gu Qinghan raised an eyebrow, wondering if this thing was going back to call for more reinforcements.

Moreover, he felt that this giant monster was most likely a Commander Level existence.

Thinking of this, Crow King immediately appeared, carrying Gu Qinghan and a portion of Sky Eye Skeletons, flying upwards.

However, when the powerful attacks of the Sky Eye Skeletons landed on the opponent's body, Gu Qinghan saw a layer of dark light appear on the surface of its body.

This layer of dark light had the texture of metal, yet it was far harder than metal.

After the crossbow bolts entered the range of the dark light, their speed slowed down considerably, and then they fell powerlessly.

After all, even metal would be directly pierced by such powerful attacks.

As the distance closed, Gu Qinghan discovered that the monster's body was covered in dense, small holes.

The shape of these holes seemed to be specifically designed for the Zhan Insects to attach themselves.

"So disgusting. Anyone with trypophobia would probably pass out directly if they came here."

Gu Qinghan frowned, but he also obtained information about this monster:

【Cang Worm (Commander): Level 30】

【Combat Power: 20000】

【Introduction: An existence with powerful defensive capabilities, responsible for transporting Zhan Insects for cleanup work.】

Unexpectedly, shortly after entering, Gu Qinghan encountered a Commander Level monster, and his heart was filled with joy.

As for the introduction's mention of powerful defense, Gu Qinghan directly ignored it.

This thing might have similar abilities to Bear King.

However, even Bear King, when facing the current Gu Qinghan, wouldn't be able to last too long.

After all, the current Gu Qinghan possessed a full ninety Skeletons with professions.

What's more, his necromantic space was already filled with a massive number of Temporary Workers, awaiting his command at any time.

He entered the secret realm alone, yet it was equivalent to bringing in an army!

Crow King flapped its wings, quickly approaching the Cang Worm's body.

Immediately after, with a thought from Gu Qinghan, dozens of Berserker Skeletons appeared above the Cang Worm's body.

The holes on the Cang Worm's body provided a firm attachment point for the Zhan Insects, and similarly, they could also serve as attachment points for the Skeletons.

They landed near these holes, like carrots finding their respective pits.

The next moment, bone axes swung, directly carving cracks into the dark-glowing carapace.

This thing's vitality was several hundreds of thousands, and a round of attacks from dozens of Berserker Skeletons could only reduce its vitality by less than a thousand.

In fact, this guy might even be regenerating vitality.

"Let's see if your turtle shell is harder, or if my Skeletons are more ferocious."

Gu Qinghan realized that this thing's defense was indeed terrifying, but he had a natural counter against such a tank.

His Death Toxin, when dealing with monsters with extremely high vitality and defense, only required time.

Gu Qinghan equipped deaths glory, and immediately, Little Skeletons appeared on the Cang Worm's body with the attacks of the other Skeletons.

However, many of the Little Skeletons appeared in awkward positions and fell directly from the sky.

From a distance, it looked like some white sesame seeds falling onto a giant piece of bread.

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but glance at the ground; the Little Skeletons shattered instantly upon hitting the ground.

However, they could still provide a strengthening effect to the Skeletons and generate a weakened Bone Spear.

Just as Gu Qinghan was about to use Bone Spear to utilize these fallen Little Skeletons, he suddenly looked in another direction.

The height he was at was just slightly above the basin, and he looked towards the edge of the basin where he had been earlier.

However, besides some uneven terrain, he saw nothing.

"Was it a hallucination? I thought I just saw two figures..."

Gu Qinghan muttered with a slight frown, but silently canceled his Bone Spear release.

At this moment, the Cang Worm's two wings were already tattered, and it swayed as it fell towards the ground.

Killing this guy was only a matter of time, and Gu Qinghan didn't intend to expose too much of his strength.

After all, if he could enter the secret realm with an item, couldn't others also follow him in with items?

He never believed that being at the top of the three rankings meant he was invincible.

Being cautious would certainly not hurt.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan didn't even summon the Death Swordsman again, merely waiting for the Skeletons to slowly wear down the Cang Worm.

Furthermore, he ascended a bit higher, wanting to observe the surrounding scenery.

As a result, all he saw was the same scenery.

There weren't many colors on the ground; there was only desolation and countless giant pits.

The basin beneath his feet seemed to be just one of the countless pits in this secret realm.

And as he ascended higher, Gu Qinghan vaguely saw a towering peak in the far distance.

In such a monotonous landscape, this peak caught Gu Qinghan's attention.

However, the path there would certainly not be smooth, so Gu Qinghan planned to advance slowly.

With a loud crash, the Cang Worm had already smashed onto the ground, crushing a number of Little Skeletons.

Its wings were already broken, and its body continuously rolled, trying to crush the Skeletons on it.

At the same time, the dark light on the surface of its body became even more intense, causing the vitality of all attacking Berserker Skeletons to continuously drop.

Fortunately, Berserker Skeletons had skills that could restore vitality, so their vitality bounced up and down rapidly like disco lights.

Gu Qinghan ordered Crow King to descend. He looked at the Cang Worm, his eyes flickering.

This thing seemed to have even stronger defensive capabilities than Bear King.

Moreover, this layer of dark light not only had defensive capabilities against ranged attacks but also seemed to have a certain damage reflection effect.

"If I turn this thing into my subordinate, it's a bit ugly, but its usefulness seems greater than Bear King's.

Ah, no, that won't work. Bear King is bound to me by vitality, and I don't know if that voice will ring out again."

Gu Qinghan dismissed this thought in his mind, feeling a bit regretful.

In fact, not just Bear King, but the situation of the two Death Mutated Creatures, besides Crow King, was a bit awkward now.

Against opponents that were too powerful, they couldn't play a role.

And against enemies that were too weak, their presence didn't make much difference.

Crow King, on the other hand, was quite helpful to Gu Qinghan due to its flying ability and its peculiar abilities; otherwise, it would also be like a chicken rib.

Flavorless to eat, yet a pity to discard.

It wasn't that these Mutated Creatures were too weak, but that the predicament Gu Qinghan was facing was becoming increasingly extreme.

The Death Manipulation skill seemed to be gradually becoming insufficient.

"Hmm? What is this?"

Just as Gu Qinghan was pondering this, the Cang Worm finally stopped struggling, its body rigid, under the siege of a group of Skeletons.

What surprised Gu Qinghan was that a ball of light appeared above its body.

Gu Qinghan immediately went over and retrieved the item, discovering that it was another scroll fragment.

However, this scroll fragment was actually useful to Gu Qinghan.

【skill upgrade scroll Fragment: Special Item】

【Effect: 100 fragments can be synthesized into one skill upgrade scroll, which can upgrade a specified skill once.】

A smile appeared on Gu Qinghan's lips, then slowly widened.

"It really is true that when you're sleepy, someone delivers a pillow."
