134: Command the army of shadow summons and capture the zombie city!
Song Ming was once again standing at the entrance of the abandoned city; the sky was still gloomy, and the surroundings were filled with a depressing and dead silence.
There was no hint of guilt on his face.
After all, he had already taught the method to that group of people; whether they could complete it or not was none of his business.
Zombies indeed could not fly—that was a fact.
And what Song Ming said about flying directly to the city center to challenge the BOSS was indeed the safest and fastest way to clear the dungeon.
However, not everyone was like him, possessing summoned creatures capable of flight.
Items that allowed people to fly in mid-air were also extremely rare, something these Professionals could not possibly obtain.
Therefore, even though they knew the fastest way to quickly clear the dungeon,
They could only stare blank-faced.
The taste of that was beyond miserable!
After clearing the hell-level Lost Kingdom dungeon once, Song Ming's experience bar was already more than halfway full.
He only needed to perfectly clear it one more time to reach Rank 90.
Then he could go find God Yi and have him arrange for him to enter a special dungeon.
If he was lucky, he might find a large number of items that boost skill points.
His strength would undoubtedly experience rapid growth.
Moreover, clearing it for the first time directly broke the record, and just now, the rewards had already arrived.
It was still 100 credits and 5 Academy Performance Points.
Now his Academy Performance Points had accumulated to 60, although he didn't know exactly how many were needed to meet the standards of a top-tier academy.
According to Song Ming's estimate, it should be no less than a thousand points.
In any case, the more, the better.
Since the reward for breaking the record could not be claimed repeatedly, Song Ming did not plan to speed-run the dungeon this time.
Instead, he intended to clear out all the zombie monsters in the dungeon one by one as thoroughly as possible.
The first time, in his haste, he hadn't pulled all the monsters very thoroughly.
There were still many areas he hadn't covered, causing him to miss out on a lot of experience.
This time, Song Ming would not make the same mistake again.
He directly released all the Black Shadow Spirits from his summoning space; after this period of accumulation,
The Black Shadow Spirits in the space had surged to sixty thousand.
The vast Spirit Army of Black Shadow Spirits almost filled the open ground outside the city, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Of course, most of them were low-Rank ordinary zombies; high-Rank spirits were relatively few.
Song Ming stood at the very front, like a general.
He then divided these Black Shadow Spirits into over a dozen teams, each led by a boss monster above Rank 100.
They charged towards the ruined city ahead from multiple directions.
With nearly sixty thousand Black Shadow summoned creatures, their numbers were almost comparable to the zombies within the city.
Moreover, each team was led by a boss monster or even a BOSS monster above Rank 100; mere zombies, no matter how numerous, could not be a match for the Black Shadow Army.
The moment the Black Shadow Army set off, over a dozen low-Rank zombies suddenly rushed out of the mist ahead, baring their fangs and claws.
The zombies, who had initially been aggressive and eager to tear Song Ming to shreds, instantly froze upon seeing the massive, dark army not far ahead.
With their rotting brains, they couldn't fathom how this army, charging into the city, had appeared.
And at this moment, the only numerical advantage the zombies possessed was directly shattered.
“Roar!”
Despair Black Dragon took the lead, lightly crushing the dozen or so zombies with his right claw, then led the Black Shadow Army in one direction.
The other Dragon Spirits were not to be outdone, each leading their respective armies to attack in other directions.
Song Ming, meanwhile, rode the Thunder Giant Dragon, setting off with the army.
After all, there was a distance limit between the Black Shadow Spirit summoned creatures and him.
Once they exceeded a range of ten thousand meters, the spirits would automatically disappear and return to the summoning space.
Therefore, to avoid this situation, Song Ming had to move with the army.
At the same time, he also had to divide his attention to command the actions of each army.
And so, under Song Ming's command,
Intense battles erupted throughout the previously silent city ruins.
Zombies were torn to shreds by the army.
Of course, Song Ming's Black Shadow Spirits also suffered considerable losses, but most of them were zombie spirits, so there was nothing to feel bad about.
Moreover, as the army advanced, more and more zombies died.
His lost Black Shadow Spirits were replenished accordingly.
The Spirit Restraint Art, which had ascended to a Forbidden Spell, had long become his passive ability; any creature he killed could become his soldier.
And the summoning space could accommodate a million spirits.
Song Ming was not at all afraid of the space being full.
This battle was a complete one-sidedcrush, and he suffered no losses whatsoever.
Just by sitting on the Dragon's back and overseeing the battle, he could gain a large amount of experience.
Because Song Ming was unwilling to miss any corner of the city, the army's advance was relatively slow.
It was a full hour later.
He had only flattened two-thirds of the area.
Song Ming deliberately avoided the city's central area; the BOSS was there anyway and wouldn't run.
It wouldn't be too late to deal with the central BOSS after he had killed all the zombies.
Another hour passed.
A few zombies, hidden beneath a pile of steel ruins, slowly poked their heads out from the crevices, then instinctively looked around.
The Black Shadow Army, which had passed like a swarm of locusts, had now disappeared.
The surviving zombies inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief; at this moment, they actually experienced emotions they had only felt when they were human.
However, they hadn't rejoiced for too long when a fiery red ray suddenly pierced through the heads of several of them.
Blazing flames instantly rose from their bodies, then completely engulfed them.
Aboard the Giant Dragon, Song Ming shook his hand and smiled contentedly.
After killing these last few zombies, his experience bar also reached 99%.
He only needed to head to the central area and take down the BOSS.
Song Ming would then be able to Breakthrough to Rank 90.
Without further ado, he rode the Giant Dragon and flew towards the tallest skyscraper in the city center.
Most of the buildings in the city had become ruins; only the skyscraper in the very center still stood, exceptionally prominent.
This was clearly due to the Thousand Corpse Vine Emperor.
However, Song Ming was too lazy to investigate anything; flying close to the skyscraper, without a word, he unleashed a Heaven and Earth Seal.
Boom!
The entire skyscraper instantly collapsed, and the zombies rampaging inside were all killed.
A few minutes later.
A blood spring appeared.
Then, the Thousand Corpse Vine Emperor, in its second form, emerged.
Thousands of meters in height, over a hundred meters in diameter.
To say it reached the heavens and pierced the earth would not be an exaggeration.
However, in Song Ming's eyes, it was just so-so.
The first Heaven and Earth Seal.
Directly shattered the Thousand Corpse Vine Emperor's massive main body completely.
Only a damaged vine body, merely dozens of meters high, remained!
Then the second Heaven and Earth Seal followed closely, completely crushing the Thousand Corpse Vine Emperor into dust!
