Under the protection of a horde of Zombies, Skeletons and Magical Beasts, Moria passed through a small path with multiple twists and turns, rapidly heading towards the main path to rejoin his clansmen.
Having gotten so many shiny, top quality crystals, mercury and whole corpses of Magical Beasts, shouldn’t he now be qualified to request for permission for the Magic Incantation, to advance to the next level, from his Clan Master?
Stroking the few pieces of treasure he carried on his person and looking at the many Zombies with thick and heavy packages on their backs, Moria was thrilled beyond words. He at first thought that the journey with Elder and Young Master to search for the remains of the Giant Dragon would be fraught with difficulties and even death. He had not expected that though there was danger, the gains were even greater, having found and snatched large amounts of valuables worth its weight in gold.
As an Undead Wizard, in other words, a Necromancer, Moria did not wish to have high quality crystals, Crystal Coins or beautiful women. What he really wanted was to gain knowledge of the mysterious and powerful Undead Spells.
Unfortunately, as a member of a clan of Undead Wizards rarely seen on the continent, the Angus Family have strict requirements for their clansmen. Clansmen not directly related to the family are only allowed to reach a certain level of power. The Magic Incantation to advance to the next level could also be granted if one made a significant contribution to the Angus Family.
Having trained for ten years to reach the level of High Level Spellcaster, Moria had already given up all hope of breaking through to become a Magical Tutor. But after gaining all these valuables, he again saw hope of getting the Magic Incantation to advance to the next level, and break through to become an Undead Magical Tutor!
Hehe, the Church Knights and Spellcasters may be an Undead Wizard’s greatest enemy, but if one was powerful enough, an Undead Wizard can also become their greatest enemy!
Moria touched the wound on his chest the size of the mouth of a bowl, left behind by a Church Knight. Thinking about the all penetrating Holy Light Magical Spell that can even burn the soul, he felt waves of numbing prickles down his scalp. However, the thought of the ‘Evil Hourglass’ and ‘Blood Invisibility Cloak’ he seized after killing them, energized him again. For this, it would even be worth it to lose a limb, not to mention getting brutally stabbed with a spear.
In his excitement, Moria began looking forward to the future. Unperceived, a shadow of a ghost appeared suddenly behind him. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late! He felt the sharp pain of a pointed dagger being driven deeply into his back, greedily absorbing the fresh blood in his body.
“You…”
Turning with difficulty to look at the cold expression on Yang Ling’s face, Moria fell to the ground with a bang, dying with a grievance. Without his command, the hordes of Zombies, Skeletons and abnormal Magical Beasts stopped moving, leaving the valuables their Master Moria collected, to be freely seized.
After dumping the bags from the Zombies’ backs, which were stuffed to the brim, into the Space Ring, Yang Ling departed soundlessly, promptly looking for his next target.
After getting a sweet taste of victory from the Wolf Troop Team on their main path, Yang Ling used the smaller paths that connected everywhere, to infiltrate the main paths. Of course, he would not lightly engage the main forces of the powerful factions, but the Exploration Teams under them would not be spared. If Yang Ling were to set his sights on them, the whole team would basically be annihilated.
Faced with his uncanny speed and sharp attacks, even the Sword Saints and Magical Tutors would not dare stand in his way, much less the other insignificant people, who would often be dealt the fatal blow even before given a chance to react.
The power of the teleportation-like Earth Evasion Spell, showed its brilliance in the pitch black, maze like cave.
The Troops and adventurers were a basically a mob, driven by greed. Dog-eat-dog behavior was commonplace. Faced with the presence of high quality crystals, mercury and rare treasures, the powerful factions surely did not let this go lightly and sent out many Exploration Teams… On top of that there were many Magical Beasts hiding in the dark, throwing the cave into chaos, with dangers and traps everywhere!
To many, this was dangerous territory from where one might never return. However, to Yang Ling, this was a hunter’s paradise!
After being in the cave for only slightly over a day, Yang Ling had already made a tidy profit. Apart from large amounts of high quality crystals, mercury and gems, there were also numerous rare treasures, including eight Space Rings.
Huge gains come with huge risks!
Having lost many elite Exploration Teams in a few short hours, the powerful factions soon took notice. They sent many of their best to investigate. The Church sent three of their Red-robed Cardinals, the Orcs sent a high level Divine Temple Priest, the Angus Family sent a high level Undead Wizard, with Magical Tutor status…
Though the investigators sent by the various factions were powerful, they were unable to find any trace of Yang Ling, and were only able to kill a few insignificant parties.

Yang Ling almost stepped into the elaborately laid traps multiple times, but due to his strong perception and the scouting done by the Horned Bee Beasts, he was able to perceive the situation in time. In which case, he would either leave quietly, or attack their leader using the Earth Evasion Spell and leave before their armies could react.
Powerful masters such as the Red-robed Cardinals, high level Divine Temple Priests and the Angus Family’s high level Undead Magical Tutor may be seen as unapproachable and powerful by the masses; but in Yang Ling’s eyes, they were just more dangerous prey. Apart from Experts such as Elder Klive and the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, other ordinary people were simply not his match.
Not only did the powerful factions fail to catch the perpetrator, they also suffered heavy losses. Finally, they realized that there was an extremely powerful master in the cave. In order to concentrate on their energies on getting to the remains of the Giant Dragon and seizing the legendary Divine Weapon first, they now had no choice but to retract their forces to defend against enemy attack.
As the various powerful factions began to retract their forces at the same time, the well-informed Troops and adventurers heard rumours about a Sage level killer with a dog-eat-dog attitude in the cave.
To protect themselves, they no longer dared to venture onto the many small paths. Most of the time, they followed the powerful factions from a distance and stayed on the relatively safer main paths, repeatedly searching the area as if picking trash.
Though it became more difficult for Yang Ling to carry out sneak attacks as everyone raised their vigilance, he gained in other areas. Acting quickly, he split the army into ten small teams. While catching up with the Wolf Troop Team ahead, they would also search for and collect the treasures scattered near the main path.
Armed with Horned Bee Beasts to scout the road ahead, Pear Blossom Bows and other magical weapons, everyone travelled faster and further than ordinary Troops or adventurers. Naturally, their gains were also more bountiful. Besides, with Yang Ling in command, they were also safer than many other Troops and adventurers.
Thus, the party searched the area while advancing with haste, quickly catching up to the Wolf Troop Team who were struggling with paving the way.
It might seem glorious that the Wolf Troop Team was the leading faction, but only the Team Leader, Kerband, knew the truth.
To complete this task that came with an astoundingly huge renumeration, not only did the Wolf Troop Team send all their elite personnel, they also used their various connections to seek help from a few masters, including a Managing Elder from the Troops Association.
After entering the cave, they had to deal with unpredictable Magical Beasts, Troops and adventurers who took advantage of their situation, and even more, attacks from other factions… For an instant their suffering seemed almost unbearable, and their rate of advancement seemed to be the slowest among the powerful factions.
As they had limited energy, they were unable to form huge Exploration Teams to explore the two small paths beside the main path, so they also gained the least among all the powerful factions. They cannot even be compared to Yang Ling, who had silently struck it rich.
While the Wolf Troop Team was suffering, Yang Ling was without a care in the world. The ten Exploration Teams under him were busy taking advantage and picking treasures that the Wolf Troop Team had left behind.
To those ordinary Troops and adventurers who sneakily pick treasures from behind, Kerband could send a few elite teams to chase them away. However, when faced with the powerful Yang Ling, he could only turn a blind eye.
Even the Wolf Troop Team dared not look for trouble with Yang Ling and his men, not to mention the ordinary Troops and adventurers. They could only wait till Yang Ling’s Exploration Teams had searched and left the area, before sneaking in to see if there were any treasures left behind. In this way, Yang Ling and his men’s gains became more bountiful.
Howl…
Having continuously walked for a few hours, Yang Ling was just about to command his men to stop and take a short break, when suddenly, from the front, came a loud roar. This was quickly followed by sounds of close combat and cries of anguish. It was as if the leading Wolf Troop Team had met with a sudden attack by some Magical Beasts.
At first, everyone thought that like the few times previously, the Wolf Troop Team would be able to resolve the issue before long. They did not expect the cries of anguish to continue without stopping, and for the air to be so quickly permeated with the smell of blood, which was getting stronger. It seemed that the Wolf Troop Team was in big trouble and had encountered a sudden attack by high level Magical Beasts!
Should he rush over there to take a look and take the chance to tame a few injured, high level Magical Beasts?
Just as Yang Ling was hesitating and was about to send the Horned Bee Beasts to find out more about the situation, a scout came rushing back, terrified. “My Lord, it’s not good. A horde of Chimeras suddenly appeared up front. They are crowded over a huge area. The Wolf Troop Team has already been surrounded by the Chimeras!”
A horde of Chimeras?
A horde of Chimeras which were known as underground demons and which were evenly matched with unicorns?
In great shock, Yang Ling gravely gave the command to get his men around him to quickly get into formation. He then ordered Orlando to blow into the cow’s horn to urgently gather the Exploration teams who were searching around the area.
