Abyss Summoner-Chapter 326 - 319: Full-Scale Operations

In one of the underground fortresses of the [Order], a room excavated specifically by goblins, damp and cold, stands a team more evil than heretical species, exuding a thick undead aura.

In this place called [Rebirth], zombies researched by the Undead Mage make their debut, including Titan Stone Scorpions and Drilling Insects, along with a large troop of recently crafted Skeleton Warriors, and a figure, Weng Ziqiang, a former subordinate of Hong Jiuling, whose body is filled with decaying flesh; once his feet touch the ground, nearby plants will instantly wither and dry up.

At the farthest end of this group of undead stands a true skeleton, from the unknown realm within the Abyss, an Undead Mage whose identity, age, and even gender are shrouded in mystery.

This powerful figure who loves researching the undead no longer focuses on ordinary skeletons but relies on their ability to create a batch of real zombies.

Undead Zombies are the filthy products of necromancy research, these bloodthirsty creatures with grievances are bound by the powerful spells of their creators. Most adventurers, upon hearing the word "zombie," think only of mindless, stumbling corpses, yet Voodoo Zombies possess a strength far beyond that.

Through the refinement of the Undead Mage, these zombies not only retain the strength they had before but importantly possess undead characteristics; unless decapitated or targeted at specific vital points, they cannot truly be killed.

Undead creatures come in many forms: skeletons, zombies, ghosts, mummies, ghouls, Dabo Corpses, Soul-Trapping Demons...

Apart from certain planes or regions where some undead creatures can spontaneously arise, most are artificially created.

Simply put:

Humans can be transformed into liches, goblins can too, giant dragons can as well (special cases for non-humanoid races);

Humans can be turned into vampires, goblins can too, titans can too;

Humans can become Death Knights, goblins can too, titans can too;

Humans can turn into demigod mummies, goblins can too, titans can too;

Thus, the strength of undead creatures is not only related to the strength of the template but is also linked to the original creature’s power and the craftsmanship of its creation.

Just like now, among the experimental subjects, Titan Stone Scorpions, Drilling Insects, and Weng Ziqiang all possess Silver Tier power, which has increased by roughly thirty percent after transformation, aside from some stiffness in movement.

Titan Stone Scorpion, a giant scorpion that loves killing enemies with its pincers, is now forged into a zombie, its formerly black exoskeleton turned gray, eyes sunken, its once hard insect armor covered in corpse spots and cracks.

Drilling Insect, a monster that can reach up to ten meters long, reeks with a stench, even occasionally dropping twisted maggots from its body, making it very difficult to muster the courage for a second glance.

Among these zombies, the most terrifying is Weng Ziqiang, he was a trusted aide of Hong Jiuling, initially killed by Chen Feng.

Adhering to the principle of waste utilization, Chen Feng gave him to the Undead Mage, who crafted him into an undead creature with formidable life force.

This stronghold not only researches these beings; under the experiments of the Undead Mage and Mr. Fang, new monsters are birthed here daily.

Undead Legion.

At this point, the number of Skeleton Warriors exceeds seven hundred, the zombie squad counts seventy-nine, and over nine hundred Corpse Demons have been crafted, these dark creatures alone can sustain a battle.

Cannon fodder.

These undead creatures have little meaning, but once on the battlefield, they form a dam of flesh or bone, reducing human pressure significantly.

When faced with irresistible enemies, even if they perish completely, they will not retreat, their sole purpose is battle, never surrender.

As the most loyal executors of the Undead Mage, only when their Soul Fire is extinguished or their bodies completely shattered will they willingly close their eyes and accept their destined slumber.

Initially, when persuading Mr. Fang to surrender, this researcher with extreme tendencies showed some resistance; now, that resistance has disappeared, fully merging into the Order.

The Undead Mage coordinates seamlessly with him,

In their eerie collaboration, not only have they created creatures like the skeletal Corpse Demon, but recently used zombies and insects in experiments to birth the [Shrinking One].

Shrinkers are unfortunate creatures mocked by life. Their existence now only brings destruction and despair to everything.

Shrinkers are a malformed, incomplete black membrane with conspicuous undead characteristics. It resembles a damp, wrinkled, swollen human infant, with no hair on its head, hollow and spiritless eyes, continuously drooling with filthy, disgusting saliva like its mouth. Its arms are very thin and its slender arms end in sharp, cruel claws while its legs have completely shriveled, dangling beneath it like useless dead limbs. Shrinkers do not walk, they always float in the air.

This is a terrifying creature.

Its creation initially caught the attention of Chen Feng, whose existence almost seems unwarranted, what does this foreshadow? This [Shrinking One] meets the criteria to be chosen as a divine abomination.

However, its power is too weak. Despite its horrific appearance and abilities, the lack of true strength prevents it from any association with divine abominations.

Of course, the current "Shrinking One" is still very weak. Under the nurturing of the Undead Mage and Mr. Fang, who knows to what extent this zombie species will grow.

Incredibly ironic.

A skeleton with no flesh and blood, an obsessive madman, actually gave birth to such a life. It’s astonishing, this is indeed an incredible thing.

...............

Lu Wei held a pen, becoming a temporary recorder, responsible for documenting all the experimental data.

Today.

Chen Feng will conduct the second sacrificial experiment.

Besides being transformed by the Undead Mage, Chen Feng did not idle. After rushing back from Bridge East, he gathered the experimenters to participate in the second Blood Sacrifice experiment.

A long time has passed since the first sacrifice. During this period, Chen Feng’s strength has further improved, and his mastery of the Blood Sacrifice has become more proficient, which proves that the success rate of the experiment might even increase a bit.

Responding to the call, after layers of selection, five warriors arrived in the room. At this time, they took off their shirts, waiting for the experiment to proceed.

Although fully aware of the risks, these people still forged ahead without hesitation. Even in such a tense moment, everyone had an easygoing and laughing expression.

True warriors.

After many selections, those who could stand here not only had strong skills but also ample experience. Among these people, their time in battle exceeds one hundred hours; in addition, they have killed more than ten insects.

They are indeed aces; the reason they are so relaxed is that they have long since disregarded life and death.

Seeing these people before him, Lu Wei felt somewhat dazed. For some reason, he thought of that familiar face. If he were still alive, perhaps he would be part of the experiment this time.

The young man’s former wishes could no longer be fulfilled.

Lu Wei clenched his fist, having obtained the Devil’s Bloodline, further being viewed by most as a terrifying leader of the Dark Department, this time, an unprecedented trace of sadness appeared on his face.

The experiment began.

The selected warriors walked into the room one by one, waiting for Chen Feng’s Blood Sacrifice experiment.

................

In the end, out of five, three survived.

The first person’s ability came from a raccoon monster buried and accumulated by wind and sand. This monster’s true form was a raccoon, possessing the ability to control sandstorms. After fusion, the warrior’s body started to sandify, completely transforming in appearance, looking like a sand sculpture raccoon with no human features, except the strength had significantly increased, with the ability to control sandstorms.

The second person’s ability came from a type of insect. These larvae invade the body aiming to parasitize the brain. Once the parasitism is complete, they integrate with brain cells, managing this "dead body". They can transform at will, and their food is the same species as the host.

That is, humans!

During the Blood Sacrifice, a young man mutated; the strange insect did not die but instead replaced his right hand. In battle, he could transform his right hand into any weapon, making him a bizarre symbiotic professional of human and insect.

As for the third person, the sacrifice’s monster was a white giant wolf, mastering the ability of snow and wind. During the fusion, the warrior’s body mutated into a form similar to a half-beastman, growing a pair of animal ears and a snow-white tail.

Notably, this person, like Xu Hongzhuang, liked cold weapons from a young age, adept at using a long blade to kill enemies. After awakening, agility greatly enhanced, becoming incredibly fierce.

Compared to the last time, this time’s success rate significantly improved, and strength also increased some compared to before, particularly the last professional, who fused with the Giant Wolf bloodline, reborn in a half-beastman form. Not only did he not become ugly, but his temperament further improved, even attracting women’s attention.

It is unavoidable to marvel at how fortunate he was.

Chen Feng rubbed his brow, his face showing some fatigue.

Bridge East and the Economic Development Zone operated like machines, day and night, in an attempt to create more defensive weapons before the disaster. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Chen Feng has exerted his greatest effort; at this time, the only thing he can do is wait.

Wait for that powerful insect to arrive on that day.
