142: His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Undead Clan (Combined Chapter, Please Subscribe for Monthly Tickets!)

“What’s gotten into the Human Clan lately?”

In a hall within the Undead camp, a group of people were discussing with displeased expressions.

“How can we let the Human Clan stand above us?”

A bad-tempered Undead Race Warrior suddenly stood up, speaking with a fierce expression.

“In the past few days, many Undead have disappeared from the Mixed Zone, which proves the strength of those Human Clan members.”

The middle-aged man who spoke first said calmly.

Recently, they had only noticed that the proportion of their Undead people in the Mixed Zone had strangely decreased.

But at first, they didn’t know why.

It wasn’t until an Undead Skill Card Master who successfully escaped told them about it that they understood.

A team of Human Clan members was constantly hunting their Undead people in the Mixed Zone.

And it was said that there was also someone among them who possessed the ability to perform Undead Enslavement on their deceased Undead.

This was quite terrifying for them.

To be able to perform Undead Enslavement on their deceased Undead?

Speaking of which, wasn’t this their Undead’s ability?

Enslaving the souls and bodies of others or creatures.

But how did the Human Clan master it?

And it was even the ability to enslave their Undead.

Enslaving Undead?

They wouldn’t even dare to play like that!

However, this situation had indeed occurred.

Now, the most important thing was how to resolve it.

“How to resolve it?”

The Undead brother who had just stood up angrily said disdainfully, “Either a large force directly annihilates them, or an elite squad goes head-to-head!”

“What other solution is there?”

“It’s not impossible. Then let’s directly send a large force to encircle them.”

Seeing the highest-ranking middle-aged man make the decision directly.

Compared to an elite force going head-to-head, a large force encirclement was more reliable.

After all, the other party could kill so enthusiastically here, so their strength was naturally very powerful.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have remained unresolved for so long.

One must know that their Undead also had geniuses.

Thinking this way, it was better to use a large force encirclement.

After all, the intelligence that was sent back stated that they didn’t have many people.

“Alright, then you will lead the team and eliminate the opponent as soon as possible.”

As soon as the highest-ranking middle-aged man finished speaking, before the bad-tempered middle-aged man could reply, someone suddenly entered from outside the door.

“Hmm?”

Everyone turned their heads simultaneously.

One must know that this was a meeting of the Undead’s high command in the Undead Cave Heaven.

Entering during the meeting?

What did he want to do?

However, everyone’s brows only furrowed for a moment before quickly relaxing, and even expressions of respect appeared on their faces.

“His Highness, the Third Prince, has entered this Cave Heaven. Do you have any news?”

The young man who suddenly burst in had an arrogant expression, but no one present showed dissatisfaction.

After all, the badge on the young man’s chest was enough to indicate his identity.

Royal Court Guard reserve member.

The Royal Court Guard naturally needs no further explanation; as the guard of the Undead royal family, even a reserve member was not someone they could provoke.

Don’t look at how much power they seemed to have in the Cave Heaven.

What were these old guys of their strength outside?

And most importantly, their status in the Cave Heaven was bestowed upon them by the Royal Court.

So, they were respectful even to a reserve member of the Royal Court Guard.

Although above the Royal Court Guard, there were also the Royal Court Imperial Guard and the Royal Court Divine Guard.

But for them, it was all the same.

They were all unprovokable.

But what did this guy just say?

His Highness, the Third Prince, secretly came to this Cave Heaven?

“You—”

“The accuracy of the news goes without saying, and judging by your reactions, you clearly don’t know about His Highness, the Third Prince’s arrival.”

After the young man shook his head, he couldn’t help but frown as he looked at the still-unresponsive fellows in front of him.

“Why aren’t you going to look for him? What are you waiting for?”

“That, sir, it’s not that we’re not going to look, but can we send a large force right now?”

“Of course not! What were you thinking? What if the Human Clan finds out about His Highness, the Third Prince?”

“But the problem is…”

The leading middle-aged man, with a bitter expression, told the arriving young Undead everything they had just discussed.

After listening, Star Stone Illusion, the reserve member of the Royal Court Guard, also frowned.

“In that case, we won’t send a large force.”

Star Stone Illusion instantly made a decision: “Send out the elite squad. They will both eliminate the Human Clan squad and search for His Highness, the Third Prince.”

“Remember, His Highness the Prince takes precedence over everything!”

“But, we can also use the pretext of eliminating the Human Clan squad to secretly search for His Highness, the Third Prince, right?”

The bad-tempered middle-aged man from before stepped forward and asked, somewhat puzzled.

Star Stone Illusion raised an eyebrow and looked at him: “I ask you, where is that Human Clan squad located?”

“Naturally, it’s the Mixed Zone.”

“You know it’s the Mixed Zone. If you can send a large force to eliminate them, won’t the Human Clan send a large force to protect them?”

Star Stone Illusion’s expression was cold: “I ask you, is His Highness, the Third Prince, safer if both sides engage in a large battle in the Mixed Zone, or if there is no large battle and only elite squad conflicts?”

After Star Stone Illusion finished speaking, the bad-tempered middle-aged man’s face instantly turned pale.

He had no confidence that the Human Clan wouldn’t take the opportunity to start a large war.

He also had no confidence that when the Human Clan started a large war, they could find His Highness, the Third Prince, one step ahead.

Although he also knew that the Human Clan wouldn’t easily start a large war.

But what if there really was a large battle?

If His Highness, the Third Prince, were to befall anything in this battle.

Then he would inevitably face only death.

Even among those present, basically no one would survive.

Thinking of this, cold sweat instantly poured down the bad-tempered middle-aged man’s face.

He didn’t want to die.

He hadn’t lived enough yet!

Star Stone Illusion glanced at the pale-faced, bad-tempered middle-aged man, said nothing much, shook his head, and walked out.

“Arrange it as soon as possible!”

With that, a blue Skill Card appeared in Star Stone Illusion’s hand.

The Skill Card glowed, and an Undead Griffin appeared on the open ground.

Star Stone Illusion rode the Undead Griffin directly towards the Mixed Zone.

After Star Stone Illusion left, the remaining middle-aged Undead also quickly took action.

“Send out the three strongest squads currently in our Undead Cave Heaven to search for His Highness, the Third Prince.”

“Remember not to expose the news!”

“Oh, and your direct descendants!”

After the leading Undead middle-aged man finished speaking, he prepared to issue the mission.

The powerful ones will eliminate the Human Clan squad!

At the very least, they cannot let the Human Clan squad encounter His Highness, the Third Prince, first!

Both sides will exert effort simultaneously!

...

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan and the others were currently resting.

Shi Ji pondered the Undead she had enslaved, thinking about how to strengthen them.

Currently, Shi Ji only had five Undead left in her possession.

Besides the initial Undead Shield Warrior and Undead Amplifier, Shi Ji had also captured three special Undead.

For example, Salami of the Undead Bone race.

For example, Re-Zero of the Undead Art Clan.

For example, Jin Shanshan of the Undead Gold Clan.

There’s no need to elaborate on the Bone race. The Art Clan can attach various types of Energy to their attacks.

Their racial talent is precisely this: they can attach various types of Energy to their attacks, and each type of Energy has different effects.

For example, the penetration of gold-attribute Energy.

The burning of fire-attribute Energy.

The control of wood-attribute Energy.

The multi-stage damage of water-attribute Energy.

For example, the damage enhancement of earth-attribute Energy.

For example, the explosion of lightning-attribute Energy.

For example, the swiftness of wind-attribute Energy.

For example, the freezing of ice-attribute Energy.

Although these are the only attributes, the various effects of different attributes are still very useful in actual combat.

This is the talent of the Undead Art Clan.

As for the talent of the Gold Clan, it’s relatively simple.

Whether it’s their body or the weapons they use, their attacks can amplify a type of Energy, similar to metal-like Energy.

This Energy can greatly increase attack power when attacking.

Based on their talents, Re-Zero of the Art Clan is an Undead Archer.

And Jin Shanshan is an Undead Race Warrior.

However, it’s a pity, another one who uses a saber, making it difficult for Nezha to teach.

Of course, Shi Ji had strengthened these three special Undead races.

At this moment, their combat power, not to mention fighting Nezha.

Fighting one or two ordinary Undead of equal strength was still no problem.

It’s just that these past two days have really made Jiang Yuan quite uncomfortable.

Jiang Yuan’s Star Power was never full.

This further intensified Jiang Yuan's desire to create an Equipment Card that could continuously restore Star Power.

However, it was precisely because of Shi Ji's relentless demands these past few days that Jiang Yuan had already come up with an idea.

An idea for an Equipment Card, and an idea for a Skill Card.

It's just that this idea needs to be perfected.

Additionally, the materials needed to create these two cards are difficult to gather within this Undead Cave Heaven.

So, they would have to wait until after leaving the Cave Heaven.

“Speaking of our current situation, when can we directly assault the Golden Horn Undead Clan’s gathering place?”

Jiang Yuan looked at Shi Ji. For the past two days, they had been in the Mixed Zone for a long time because they needed to find sacrifices for Shi Ji's Undead Enslavement.

However, Shi Ji had just stated that it was temporarily enough, and now they could just complete the mission.

Speaking of which, Shi Ji was indeed quite satisfied with her Undead Enslavement.

After all, they could barely be considered a small team.

Hmm, especially with her as the Skill Card Master.

“We’ll enter the Undead’s gathering place after walking a bit further. We’ll need to be careful then.”

Shi Ji chuckled, glanced at Jiang Yuan, and then said to him.

Mu Qianshan is very good~

If it weren't for her demands, Mu Qianshan would probably have already completed the mission and prepared to return by now.

Shi Ji smiled happily, as if her face had more smiles after being with Mu Qianshan.

“Alright, but why haven’t we encountered a single Golden Horn Undead Clan?” Jiang Yuan was a bit annoyed.

Hmm, although Shi Ji’s smile made him feel quite pleased.

But the Undead gathering place...

It’s probably similar to the Human Clan Gathering Place inside.

As soon as they are discovered, they will likely be swarmed.

In this situation...

Hmm, he once again felt the terror of human wave tactics.

Although Shi Ji was also a master of human wave tactics...

The problem was insufficient Star Power.

If Jiang Yuan had infinite Star Power, Shi Ji could sweep through the entire Undead Cave Heaven.

Unfortunately, that wasn't possible.

“Let’s wait one more day. If not, we’ll sneak in. The danger of entering the Undead gathering place is too great.”

“I should reach the Star Epoch Late Stage in these two days.”

Mu Qianshan, lying on the ground nearby, also said weakly.

The opponents they had faced these past two days were basically all at the Star Epoch Late Stage.

And there were many with special abilities.

After all, in the Xingji Cave, almost everyone who entered was already at the Star Epoch Late Stage.

No one would enter during the Star Epoch Middle Stage.

Only he was a bit crazy.

It was like that battle against the Undead Race Warrior of the Gold Clan.

He was almost killed right at the start!

If it weren't for the Purple Ribbon Garment blocking a blow and then smashing with the Linglong Pagoda, he would be gone by now.

However, that battle also made him cultivate Star Power even harder.

There was no other way.

At the very least, once he also reached the Star Epoch Late Stage, the Linglong Pagoda would be able to protect him.

If he encountered an unbeatable enemy, he could just hide inside the Linglong Pagoda.

Just like Jiang Yuan, he could just watch Nezha and Shi Ji deal with the enemies.

Unfortunately, he was not at the Star Epoch Late Stage.

Even with the Linglong Pagoda, his Star Epoch Middle Stage self couldn't utilize its maximum effect against those Star Epoch Late Stage enemies.

But it was still good; he was not far from the Star Epoch Late Stage now.

Once he successfully breaks through, if he enters the Undead gathering place, he won't be a burden anymore.

Ever since that day he almost died, Jiang Yuan would have Shi Ji specifically assign someone to protect him in every battle.

This made him feel very uncomfortable.

“Alright, no rush.”

After Jiang Yuan nodded, Nezha sat down somewhat dejectedly.

“I still wanted to push forward.”

Nezha shook his head, looking a bit disappointed, and said.

“If we analyze it carefully, how many Undead have we killed these past few days? Dozens of small teams, right?”

“Hmm, about that.”

Jiang Yuan nodded and looked at Shi Ji, wondering what she was going to say.

“If the Undead are like our Human Clan, with a governing body above them, would they notice that the number of Undead has suddenly decreased significantly?”

“They should, since that’s what they do.” Mu Qianshan also nodded and said.

“And when we killed those dozen or so Undead earlier, one person escaped. He would also report our information.”

Mu Qianshan glanced at Shi Ji; there was no way it wouldn't be reported.

After all, Shi Ji could enslave their Undead.

Not to mention how surprised the Undead would be to know this?

Even he was very surprised.

It was only because Shi Ji was Jiang Yuan's Card Spirit that he could somewhat accept it.

But even so, just think about how humans reacted when they learned that the Undead could enslave humans.

They directly fought into the Undead world at great cost, wiping out that lineage of Undead families that could enslave human souls and transform them into Undead.

Although they later retreated due to supplies and other reasons.

But that battle also made the Undead not dare to show their faces much even now.

Think about the Human Clan, then think about the Undead, and you'll understand.

Perhaps after Shi Ji returns to the Human Clan's world, the Undead won't dare to make a fuss.

But if Shi Ji is still in the Cave Heaven now, they will definitely try to suppress her here.

If he were a decision-maker in the Undead Cave Heaven, he would undoubtedly make such a decision.

Mu Qianshan looked at Shi Ji; apparently, Shi Ji also realized this.

“So your meaning is, when their main force comes out to find us, we’ll take the opportunity to enter their camp?”

“Exactly.”

Shi Ji nodded, very satisfied with Mu Qianshan’s mind.

As for Jiang Yuan…

Hmm, he still didn't understand what the two of them were talking about.

But it wasn’t a big problem; he just needed to protect himself, and she and Nezha would handle the rest.

Shi Ji smiled slightly at Jiang Yuan, which made Jiang Yuan even more confused.

“What are you two talking about?”

Nezha was equally confused.

However, Shi Ji didn't have a good expression when facing Nezha.

She didn't know why, but she always felt a strange displeasure when facing Nezha.

As if Nezha had done something excessive to her before.

“You don’t need to know what happened, just listen to my command.”

“Oh, oh, okay.”

Nezha nodded obediently.

He couldn't help it; he didn't know why, but he was inexplicably intimidated by Shi Ji's powerful aura.

“In that case, let’s wait for their main force to move out.”

After Mu Qianshan nodded, he began to cultivate again.

He wanted to break through to the Star Epoch Late Stage earlier!

On the other side, Shi Ji also came to Jiang Yuan’s side and quietly began to explain to him.

However, what she didn’t know was that due to the matter of the Undead Royal Family’s Third Prince, the Undead had no intention of dispatching a large force.

And Star Stone Illusion didn't care that Shi Ji could enslave the Undead.

Because he knew the situation of that Undead race that was once annihilated by the Human Clan.

Although that race could enslave humans through their talent.

However, the resources and various materials consumed were too much.

If one had to say, it was actually similar to the Human Clan's Beast Taming Card.

But enslaving a human consumed more than taming a beast in a Beast Taming Card.

Most importantly, enslaved humans had no possibility of increasing their strength.

If it were just this, it would be fine, because if a high-ranking individual were enslaved, they could be sent to the Human Clan as an internal spy.

But the problem was that after killing and then enslaving a human, the human would lose their original memories.

Although their combat power basically suffered no loss, it could be considered instinct.

But without memories, returning to the Human Clan as an internal spy would certainly be impossible.

So, in his opinion, the Human Clan's method of enslaving the Undead was probably similar.

Look at the Human Clan's Beast Taming Card; it's equivalent to enslaving a beast, although it starts from the newborn stage.

But the problem is that these methods of enslaving or using other races have significant flaws.

And most importantly, based on the information he obtained from the Cave Heaven administrators, he could also deduce that this method of enslavement should be personal, not something the Human Clan had researched like the Beast Taming Card.

If it doesn't have the capability for mass deployment, then there's no problem at all.
