The Necro Puppet, though a high-level skill, has no restrictions on the target. As long as it can be sealed and controlled, it can be transformed into a puppet.
Next, Zheng Dong encountered several more Emperor-tier Necro.
Unfortunately, even the injured ones were not severely wounded, and he couldn't afford to provoke them.
As he got closer to the source of the strange sound, Zheng Dong finally encountered a severely injured Emperor-tier Necro, the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox.
The Nine-tailed Ghost Fox's injuries were even more severe than the Dark Night Empress before.
Only one of its nine tails remained.
And the remaining one was also broken by more than half.
It detested being awakened by someone, disturbing its slumber and recovery.
Therefore, it roared incessantly, venting its anger.
Just then, an unlucky Abyssal Barbarian Bear happened to pass by, and it was torn to shreds by its rage.
However, Zheng Dong could also tell that it was all show and no substance; it could only bully Warrior-tier Necro. As for King-tier Necro, it couldn't even handle them now and could only let them pass.
Thus, Zheng Dong prepared to act. He drove his numerous Necro to first consume the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox.
When the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox was sufficiently weakened and could no longer use its ultimate skills, Zheng Dong, in his merged state with Youyou, used the ultimate skill Absolute Darkness to block the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox's senses.
The Nine-tailed Ghost Fox roared in frustration. If it hadn't been injured, it could have completely ignored Absolute Darkness.
However, even so, it could still vaguely sense the enemies around it.
Unfortunately, Zheng Dong had driven a large number of Necro, including many King-tier Necro, and the King-tier Necro puppet, Hell Bullhead.
These Necro were entirely used to wear down and distract the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox.
Following that, Xiao Zi and its clones used the combined skill, Ultimate Shadow Chain, with the help of Zheng Dong's numerous King-tier Necro, to suppress the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox.
Zheng Dong then seized the opportunity to use Necro Seal to seal the suppressed Nine-tailed Ghost Fox, and then used Necro Puppet to completely transform it.
In this way, Youyou, the Necro Tower, now controlled three puppets: the Warrior-tier Skeleton General, the King-tier Hell Bullhead, and the Emperor-tier Nine-tailed Ghost Fox.
This also gave Zheng Dong more confidence to destroy the jamming equipment.
However, he was also very tired.
After Youyou recognized him as its master, his body was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, the Azure Dragon bloodline power within him was stimulated again, restoring much of his body.
However, many fine dragon scales had also appeared on his back and had not disappeared, and he didn't know if it was a good or bad thing.
He took out some Life Origin Fluid, Earth Marrow, and other resources to replenish his physical and mental exhaustion and began to eat in place.
Youyou, in the form of a Taji, voluntarily released its possession state and looked at Zheng Dong with wide, worried eyes.
Master's body is so weak!
Yes! He's never been normal!
Xiao Zi also ran over, lay down beside Zheng Dong, and chirped, communicating with Youyou.
It actually liked this new companion.
Cute and pretty.
Youyou, however, was a blank slate, easily swayed by Xiao Zi.
I am the future King of Treasure Hunters. Call me Big Sister.
What is Big Sister?
...
After recovering some of his physical and mental strength, Zheng Dong interrupted Xiao Zi and Youyou's conversation, telling Youyou to put the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox and other Necro puppets into the tower's space.
The Necro Tower currently had thirteen floors, equivalent to thirteen internal spaces. These spaces could be connected to the outside world, allowing the Necro puppets to cultivate within the spaces just as they would in the outside world.
Of course, if Youyou used the quasi-divine skill Forbidden Space, it could completely transform any of these spaces into Forbidden Spaces.
Cultivation was impossible within Forbidden Spaces, nor could any elemental skills be used. They could be used to suppress powerful pets or imprison opponents.
Next, he continued his journey.
Not long after, Zheng Dong also arrived at the source of the strange sound. He didn't approach immediately but observed from afar to understand the situation.
He saw that it was a small valley, surrounded by a defensive barrier and dozens of mechanical life guards, preventing any Necro from intruding.
Inside the valley, there were various equipment and dozens of Beast Masters from the Spirit God Sect.
Among them, Wei Peng and four others were Grandmaster-tier Beast Masters, with Wei Peng being the strongest, possessing six King-tier pet beasts.
Zheng Dong quickly understood that Wei Peng was using this valley and various pre-prepared equipment to amplify the effect of his Beast Taming talent, Necro Awakening.
Necro Awakening could emit a strange sound that awakened sleeping Necro.
As for the methods to amplify the sound, there were many.
Moreover, the frequency of this sound was slightly different from the frequencies that ordinary people could hear.
In other words, not every Beast Master could hear it.
Zheng Dong, having mastered Super Ability Perception, discovered this place.
In addition, there was a massive mechanical life form, standing like a transmitter in the center of the valley.
It was the key equipment for jamming the Battlefield Eye.
It prevented the Battlefield Eye, located thousands of meters in the sky, from detecting anomalies on the ancient battlefield.
It also created an illusion, turning the moon in the sky into a blood moon.
Therefore, only in most parts of the ancient battlefield was the moon seen as a blood moon; elsewhere, and in Divine Capital, it was normal.
These were all observations made by Zheng Dong.
As for how many hidden defensive forces there were, he did not know.
Zheng Dong planned to drive some Necro to probe their defenses.
Along the way, the Necro he drove had increased significantly. Among them, there were twenty-four King-tier Necro and over one hundred and eighty Warrior-tier Necro.
However, these transformed Necro only had less than seventy percent of their original combat power.
Therefore, it took three or four, or even more, such Necro to deal with one of Wei Peng's King-tier or Warrior-tier pet beasts.
Fortunately, Zheng Dong still had a nearly crippled Nine-tailed Ghost Fox puppet.
With Youyou's Necro Enhancement, the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox could still unleash an Emperor-tier attack once.
Zheng Dong planned to use it as a trump card to deal with Wei Peng and the other five Grandmaster-tier Beast Masters at a critical moment.
Thus, a portion of the Necro he drove surged towards the valley like a tide, constantly impacting the defensive barrier.
The mechanical life guards that reacted first desperately resisted.
These mechanical life guards had various forms and were equipped with numerous weapons that countered Necro. The core drives of many mechanical weapons were the life cores of some extraordinary creatures.
For example, the energy-gathering radiance cannon equipped with the life core of a Radiant Lion could unleash a powerful energy radiance cannon, which had strong lethality against many Necro.
These mechanical life guards were quite strong, equivalent to top-tier Warrior-tier pet beasts. However, their numbers were too few, and they were quickly overwhelmed by Zheng Dong's Necro army.
Following that, the Necro army broke through the defensive barrier and surged into the valley.
Wei Peng and the other Beast Masters were very surprised to see the dense swarm of Necro suddenly pouring in!
What's going on?
Could it be that an Emperor-tier Necro has discovered them?
Some Emperor-tier Necro, upon reaching a certain growth level, would drive other Necro to attack powerful opponents or besiege cities.
This driving was based on their own strength, and often some Necro would try to escape.
Wei Peng and the other Beast Masters, in their haste, couldn't figure out the situation.
They thought that an Emperor-tier pet beast had awakened, discovered them, and was driving Necro to attack them.
To avoid any accidents, Wei Peng temporarily stopped Necro Awakening and ordered his subordinates to summon their pet beasts to counterattack and drive away the Necro flooding into the valley.
At the same time, some secretly hidden mechanical life guards also appeared and joined the battle.
However, there were too many Necro pouring in.
They couldn't form an effective defensive circle for a while, and considerable chaos ensued.
Zheng Dong seized the opportunity to have Xiao Zi condense clones and burrow underground, quietly approaching the mechanical life form erected in the center of the valley.
If he could get close, he could use the Booby Trap skill to blow it up.
Although this standing mechanical life form was massive, it was not equipped with any weapons and had no combat capabilities.
Unfortunately, Wei Peng's King-tier Rock Python King Snake was guarding nearby. As soon as Xiao Zi's clone got close, it would be discovered and attacked.
This was a bit troublesome.
Zheng Dong tried to drive a few more Phantom Giant Pythons to sneak over and attract the Rock Python King Snake.
However, this guy simply didn't fall for it and refused to leave the area it was guarding.
If a Phantom Giant Python got close, it would attack, but if the Phantom Giant Python escaped, it wouldn't pursue.
Since that was the case, he could only slowly look for opportunities to defeat them one by one.
Thus, Zheng Dong drove the attacking Necro away from the valley.
Of course, it wasn't a real retreat.
After Wei Peng and the other Beast Masters of the Spirit God Sect relaxed, they would attack again.
When Wei Peng saw the surrounding Necro retreating, he also showed a smile.
Although he hadn't figured out why these Necro were attacking them repeatedly, the appearance of so many Necro at least proved that his plan to awaken Necro was successful.
When the time came, the numerous Necro awakened on the ancient battlefield would once again attack the Divine Capital.
He could also take advantage of the chaos to avenge his son and his capable subordinates.
As for the lives of others in the Divine Capital, he didn't care at all.
He considered it a lesson for the Special Operations Bureau.
Next, Wei Peng prepared to continue awakening Necro.
Unfortunately, as soon as he was ready to use his Beast Taming talent, Necro Awakening, the Necro driven by Zheng Dong once again entered the valley and launched an attack.
And then it happened back and forth several times.
Wei Peng couldn't stand it anymore.
If he couldn't figure out why these Necro were attacking them again and again, he wouldn't be able to use his Beast Taming talent, Necro Awakening, to continue awakening the Necro on the ancient battlefield.
So, Wei Peng looked at a Beast Master beside him, whose hair was gray and who was not much younger than him.
"Luo Long, take a few people to check it out!"
Although Luo Long was not young, he had a strong presence, with a muscular physique and eyes like an eagle, making few dare to approach him easily.
He nodded slightly, turned, and led three Master-tier Beast Masters out of the valley.
The three Master-tier Beast Masters he brought were also ruthless individuals. They looked at each other unfavorably and silently followed behind Luo Long, not saying a word.
However, as soon as they made a move, Zheng Dong noticed.
Zheng Dong planned to keep them all.
With the Necro he currently controlled, he was fully capable of doing so.
But he still had to be cautious, as they were Grandmasters, and Wei Peng and the others would provide support at any time.
Zheng Dong thought for a moment and decided to set up a trap to quickly deal with Luo Long and the others at the minimal cost.
Thus, Zheng Dong and Xiao Zi each condensed numerous clones.
As for Youyou, its role was mainly to drive Necro and control Necro puppets. Its mastery of the high-level skill Necro Clone was just beginning, and it could only condense nine clones.
Soon, Luo Long and the others walked out of the valley, searching everywhere for the mastermind behind the Necro, which was Zheng Dong.
Any Necro that approached them were killed by their pet beasts.
Seeing this, Zheng Dong was not flustered.
One of his clones quietly appeared among the Necro, deliberately letting Luo Long and the others see it.
He planned to lure Luo Long and the others to chase him, then scatter them, and then slowly lead them into traps to deal with them one by one.
Luo Long seemed to have seen through Zheng Dong's trick.
With disdain in his eyes, he turned to a round-faced, slightly chubby, bald Beast Master beside him and said coldly, "Catch him for me."
The bald Beast Master didn't speak, but his eyes flashed with ferocity as he chased after him.
He knew that Zheng Dong was deliberately luring him, but he didn't care. He was very confident in his own strength.
He didn't believe that Zheng Dong, a beginner Beast Master, could do anything fancy in front of him.
Shortly after he left, another clone of Zheng Dong appeared.
Luo Long still didn't care and sent another Beast Master to chase after him.
Then, the last Beast Master beside him was also sent out by him.
Before long, he himself also chased after another clone of Zheng Dong and plunged into the pile of Necro.
Facing the countless Necro around him, Luo Long was not afraid. His eyes were fixed on Zheng Dong, and he mocked:
"Whatever tricks you have, show them all. Your tricks are things I've played with since I was young."
Zheng Dong's clone did not stop but continuously used the combined skill, Ultimate Earth Vein Leap, to lure Luo Long towards the trap.
Luo Long, riding a King-tier Lightning Leopard, was extremely fast and closely followed Zheng Dong's clone. If it weren't for the obstruction of the numerous Necro around them, Zheng Dong's clone would have likely been captured long ago.
Moreover, Luo Long also wanted to see what Zheng Dong was up to.
Because he didn't believe that these Necro around them were driven by a beginner Beast Master.
He wanted to find out who was going against their Spirit God Sect behind the scenes.
However, even so, he still wanted to teach Zheng Dong a lesson first.
Immediately, his Lightning Leopard used Lightning Ball to bombard Zheng Dong's clone.
Caught off guard, Zheng Dong's clone was blown up by the Lightning Ball.
Luo Long's eyes widened instantly, and he felt like he had been tricked!
It was a clone!
He furiously summoned all his pet beasts and launched an attack on the surrounding Necro.
It wasn't until another clone of Zheng Dong arrived.
"Bastard, you dare to play your grandpa again!" Luo Long, with his explosive temper, chased after him again.
But before long, he stopped in his tracks and stood there dumbfounded.
Because behind Zheng Dong's clone stood an Emperor-tier Nine-tailed Ghost Fox, exuding a terrifying aura that poured down on Luo Long like a basin of cold water from head to toe.
Luo Long was stunned.
He couldn't understand how a beginner Beast Master could be connected to an Emperor-tier Nine-tailed Ghost Fox.
At this moment, the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox, under Youyou's high-level skill Necro Enhancement, looked no different from a normal Emperor-tier Necro, enough to deter Luo Long for a short time.
Following that, a large number of strange bombs hidden beneath Luo Long's feet were detonated by Xiao Zi.
These strange bombs were condensed by Xiao Zi's 365 clones, enough to injure the Grandmaster-tier Luo Long.
While Luo Long was still in a daze, he was blown away by the immense explosive force and severely wounded.
But it wasn't over yet.
Zheng Dong then drove all the King-tier Necro to launch an attack on Luo Long together.
Although Luo Long's body, as a Grandmaster-tier Beast Master, was far superior to that of an ordinary person, he couldn't withstand the attacks of twenty-four King-tier Necro.
In an instant, he died in frustration, without even time to call for help.
The pet beasts he had contracted also failed to react in time.
