Necromancer: Ahem! I'm really not Lao Liu!

So Zhang Dadan immediately began issuing the command "skeletons stacked on top of skeletons." After some experimentation, he discovered that each stack could only hold a maximum of ten skeletons; any more would severely impair the skeleton warriors' mobility, rendering them unable to move normally.

After confirming the key information, Zhang Dadan issued the order without hesitation.

In this way, the situation changed instantly. The enemy used to have to deal with one skeleton warrior at a time, but now they had to deal with ten at the same time.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Looking at the "skull assembly" that had formed exactly as he had predicted, Zhang Dadan was filled with pride and very satisfied with his masterpiece.

The summoned skeleton warriors advanced towards their destination, skillfully stacking themselves on top of each other until they formed a larger "battle formation" of ten, which then marched in a mighty procession toward the hot spring.

At the same time, Zhang Dadan relied on the "Source of Magic" as the magic power for the "Summoning Skeletons" formation... This skill is definitely a must-have for lazy people!

He then controlled the sedan chair to return to the mountaintop.

Hey, I have to say, this Lord class is really great. You can just lie there and kill monsters—it's so relaxing!

Zhang Dadan lay comfortably on the sedan chair, the mountain breeze refreshing and pleasant, the warm sunlight bathing him. From midday until nightfall, he waited quietly alone…

Unafraid of the passage of time, unafraid of the solitude of the mountains~

I saw the silent sky, and the dazzling Milky Way!

Gazing at the silent sky and the dazzling Milky Way, I couldn't help but wonder if the Milky Way and the sun I saw in this mysterious place were real or some kind of illusion.

Just then, as the subsequent skeleton army successfully connected with the previous million-strong army, that sense of comprehensive command over the skeletons returned once again.

Zhang Dadan finally understood. He hadn't noticed before, but now he realized that there was an effective control range for commanding the skeleton army, and remote command required some kind of "link".

This is similar to how communication requires signal towers and internet access requires network cables, and the "medium" through which Zhang Dadan controls the skeleton army is these skeletons.

After a series of detailed experiments, Zhang Dadan discovered that the range he could effectively control was currently about two hundred meters.

However, if there is a skeleton as a "link", this control range can be extended indefinitely.

He also discovered that the effective radiation range of each skeleton varied depending on the intensity of its soul fire, ranging from approximately ten to twenty meters.

Therefore, Zhang boldly concluded!

Although the skeleton is merely a shell, the key factor influencing control is its soul fire. Due to its summoning, all skeletons are linked by a soul, allowing commands to extend indefinitely through this link.

A whole day has already passed, and there's still no sign of even defeating one of the beast kings...

With Zhang Dadan's new command, the millions of skeletons that had been maintaining their original state quickly began to change. In less than fifteen minutes, the previously congested and slow-moving long line suddenly accelerated.

As Zhang Dadan's skeleton army changed shape, the pressure on the Beast King's side instantly increased tenfold.

In an instant, the battle intensified...

Zhang Dadan immediately perked up, his eyes shining, and excitedly shouted, "This looks much better!"

Since there's nobody around anyway, shouting is good for your health!

The scene before was so grand; with several beast kings standing there, it was as if one man could hold off ten thousand!

Zhang Dadan's side had a massive army of skeletons, but due to terrain limitations, they couldn't get through and could only watch helplessly.

But things are different now. Our numbers have increased tenfold. Let's see how the Beastmaster handles it!

Hehehe~ Just thinking about it makes me a little excited!

Sure enough, excitement often comes from such a strong contrast.

The previous battles were like boiling a frog in lukewarm water; even though I knew I would eventually win, the process was just too boring, and I had absolutely no desire to watch.

It was a completely tedious and unpleasant ordeal.

So now, there's nothing we can't overcome. At worst, we can just double the number of skeletons—no, I mean, tenfold!

That's how wealthy and powerful they are!

There's nothing we can do; Zhang Dadan is now so poor that all he has left is his "skeleton." After these few days of harvesting, his reserves have already exceeded ten million.

Back to the point of view~

The skeleton warriors ahead were being slaughtered by the Beastmaster's forces like mowing grass.

Zhang Dadan...

I couldn't help but gasp: "That skeleton came fast and left fast..."

They get restless when they're lacking something—be careful.

When they are wealthy, they use their wealth without restraint.

Silently mourning and lamenting the army of skeletons...

Sigh... a backup plan...

"His Mandarin isn't standard!" means he's lamenting, not that he's a backup option. Many people are probably making self-deprecating jokes about their youthful ignorance...

But it's okay, that's all part of our lost youth!

"Ah... Ooh..."

A long howl suddenly echoed across the battlefield. Sure enough, as Zhang Dadan's skeleton army increased in number, even the Beast King was finding it difficult to withstand the onslaught.

The deadlock has been broken!

Sure enough, the Beast King unleashed his ultimate move!

A dazzling light once again shone on the battlefield, and the skill effects looked incredibly cool.

In reality, its skill's range is only about a hundred meters in radius. Although it looks cool and its power is indeed not bad, it is ultimately only a ninth-tier skill and has failed to break through the limitations of its tier.

Of course, times have changed. Once this skill ends, the scythe representing "Bone Pursuit" will arrive as promised.

The skeleton warriors of today are not what they used to be; with their increased strength, the power of their bone scythes has naturally increased as well.

The Wolf King's glorious moment of shining with its skills has passed, and now, the judgment of the skeletons will come!

With each slash of the skeletal scythe, the Wolf King, without the healing effect of his ultimate skill, perished on the spot.

The Wolf King's ultimate move only gave the other Beast Kings a brief respite. As the skeleton warriors surged forward relentlessly, the battle became tense once more.

Then, the Bear King unleashed its power.

It pounded its chest with both arms, making a dull thud, and then it was enveloped in a thick layer of "rock armor," which seemed to instantly increase its defensive capabilities.

Immediately afterwards, the Bear King launched a fierce attack on the ground. In an instant, rocks within a radius of tens of meters crumbled and flew everywhere. The ground shook violently as if an earthquake had struck, forming a "major earthquake" that shattered the skeletons within a radius of tens of meters, including the mountain of bones that had been piled up before!

This is the Bear King's signature move, "Mountain-Shaking Strike".

Similarly, the deaths of a large number of skeletons triggered "Skeleton Pursuit," and the Skeleton Scythe naturally arrived as promised.

Although the Bear King's attack is powerful, its range of effect is not as large as the Wolf King's ultimate move. In addition, the armor attached to its ultimate move also provides a certain degree of protection.

Even after more than a dozen skeletal scythes fell, the Bear King, though severely wounded, did not collapse immediately.

Zhang Dadan couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the Bear King, its skin is incredibly thick!"

I wonder if bear paws are still edible~.~
