"Ugh! Roar!"
Patchwerk let out a low growl from its throat, twisting its bloated body as it tried to walk toward Chen Xu.
"Stop! Stop! Patchwerk, go and stitch the tail hook of that yellow sand king worm in the Plague Slaughterhouse first."
Chen Xu hurriedly stopped Patchwerk's movements and gave it an order instead.
Jokes aside, even after receiving the talent enhancement, an abomination was still an abomination.
The pus leaking from that bloated body would not lose its foul odor just because of an enhancement.
"Ugh!"
Patchwerk did not think twice and loyally executed Chen Xu's command.
It waddled over to the tail hook of the yellow sand king worm and began to perform a stitching surgery on itself.
Patchwerk raised the massive cleaver in its right hand, sliced a large opening in its own abdomen, and then grabbed the corpse of the yellow sand king worm, stuffing it into the abdominal wound.
The king worm was over a hundred meters long, and with every segment Patchwerk stuffed into its body, its size grew larger.
After a long time, Patchwerk finally finished stuffing the king worm entirely into its body.
Then, it wiped its large hand over the opening in its abdomen, and the wound closed automatically.
"That's it? Just an increase in size?"
As if hearing Chen Xu's doubt, Patchwerk suddenly flicked its left hand, and a massive tail hook shot out from its left shoulder.
The tail hook danced and swung in the air, reaching a full two hundred meters in length, which was a hundred meters longer than the yellow sand king worm's original size.
Furthermore, this tail hook limb was far more agile than it had been on the yellow sand king worm.
Back then, the yellow sand king worm could not perform so many complex movements.
Patchwerk even used the tail hook to form the shape of an abomination's head in the air.
Chen Xu nodded, very satisfied with the Super Abomination enhancement.
Judging from the experiment with the tail hook, it could not only integrate the characteristic abilities of various creatures but also amplify them.
It was truly worthy of being a talent enhancement for a high-tier unit.
On the other side, Flideng's evolution was also complete.
Flideng now looked exactly like the Evil Spirit of Ice from Hanyuan.
Its upper body was composed of ice crystals, while its lower body was a cloud of ice mist that constantly scattered snowflakes onto the ground.
Eight snowflake runes circled its head, automatically radiating a cold aura into the surroundings.
Then, Flideng shook its body and transformed back into its previous appearance.
The Soul of Freedom had granted it the ability to change forms freely.
As long as it could find more energy sources compatible with a soul body in the future, Flideng could unlock even more special forms.
While Patchwerk was still playing with its tail hook, Chen Xu used Teleport to arrive at the Knight Academy.
The enhancement for the necrotic knights was quite interesting.
For the three high-tier units—the undead bone dragons, abominations, and ghosts—the talent enhancement only applied to a single unit.
However, the talent enhancement for the necrotic knights offered a full four slots.
【Summon Necrotic Knight (Level 60+4): Summons a necrotic knight. Noble, powerful, and battle-hardened, these cavalry will tear through any defensive line for you. (Total Necrotic Knights: 2.84 million)】
【Summon Necrotic Knight reached Level 10, 996 talent triggered, obtaining effect: The Four Heavenly Kings (You are the most dazzling employees in the company, the stars of a new era. Your great names are known to everyone in the company.), obtaining special enhancement, Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.】
【Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Select four necrotic knights and bestow upon them the names of the Apocalypse, granting them supreme glory.】
【Plague Rider: Everything is void, everything returns. Plague is the beginning of the end; it brings salvation, and it brings the ticket to eternity. The Plague Rider brings pestilence, and it will ruthlessly harvest the lives of enemies. The Plague Rider can obtain life essence from enemies who die from the plague, amplifying the Plague Rider's strength in all aspects. (I came, I saw, I conquered! I am the plague, I am the apocalypse.)】
【War Rider: Blood, destruction, conquest. War is the collapse of order and the echo of pain. Wherever the War Rider goes, war never ceases. In battle, allies fight with increasing courage, and the blood of enemies will nourish the wounds of allies. (Blood, death, screams. My compatriots, do not be afraid. War is with you. We are invincible. We are war, and we are the apocalypse.)】
【Famine Rider: Hunger, desolation, poverty. Wherever famine goes, creatures wail. It is not the end, but the prelude to the end. The Famine Rider is the dawn of the apocalypse; its appearance will plunge enemies into endless panic and weakness. (Give up, mortals. There is no need to resist hunger. This is the prelude to the end. Give up your resistance and embrace the apocalypse together.)】
【Death Rider: I bring death? I bring new life! Death is not the end; those who embrace death shall ultimately find eternity. The Death Rider comprehends the meaning of death. Besides bringing death to enemies, it can also reclaim allies from the hands of death, allowing them to continue the struggle! (The apocalypse is the lie of a charlatan. I only believe in the scythe in my hand and eternal death.)】
Chen Xu casually selected four necrotic knights and transformed them into the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The Plague Rider was entirely emerald green, wearing the most majestic armor among them.
The warhorse beneath it was also significantly larger than those of the other horsemen, and the knight's sword in its hand had turned into a knight's lance, giving off a distinct final boss vibe.
The War Rider and Famine Rider did not change much in appearance.
Their sizes were similar to ordinary necrotic knights, and only the colors of their armor had changed to red and yellow, respectively.
From the descriptions, these two horsemen functioned more as force multipliers, providing buffs to the entire army and inflicting severe negative debuffs on enemies.
The Death Rider was entirely pitch black, and its original armor had turned into a tattered black robe.
It held a massive scythe with both hands, and the robe concealed its head, projecting an aura of mystery and fear.
Furthermore, the skeleton warhorse beneath it had taken on a soul form, flickering in and out of existence.
It was likely a flexible assassin that could harvest the heads of enemies amidst the chaos of battle.
As for the part about 'reclaiming allies from the hands of death,' it was a large-scale group resurrection spell.
This was the authority of a god, a forbidden technique that defied the laws of nature, and a trump card for a desperate reversal.
The four horsemen not only increased the high-end combat power under Chen Xu's command but also enhanced the overall strength of the undead army.
The Plague Rider, in particular, possessed growth potential; the more enemies it killed, the stronger it became.
With this, the talent enhancements for the four major high-tier units—undead bone dragons, ghosts, abominations, and necrotic knights—had all been realized.
Next, Chen Xu only needed to wait for a while.
He needed the various regions—the Bone Thicket, Wailing Lake, Plague Slaughterhouse, and Knight Academy—to convert all the corpse materials obtained from the South Realm into undead units.
Then, Chen Xu could lead the undead army into the Dragon Court.
Once the bone dragon army was replenished and a bone dragon court was established within the Undead Kingdom, Chen Xu could march into the Land of the Undead.
He would covet the Necrotic Throne, raise his divine seat within the Land of the Undead, and ascend to godhood.
Three days later, all the corpses from the South Realm had been converted.
The scale of the undead army had reached over 400 million.
This included 200 million skeleton soldiers, 100 million skeleton mages, and 100 million skeleton archers.
The skeleton brothers formed the solid foundation of the undead army.
There were also 1.06 million ghosts, 1.06 million abominations, and 3.12 million necrotic knights, forming the cutting-edge combat force of the army.
As for the dozens of bone dragons, their numbers were far too few compared to the other units.
This was exactly why Chen Xu was so eager to conquer the Dragon Court.
Chen Xu already possessed an invincible army on land; next, he needed to build an invincible air force.
Chen Xu returned to Blue Star and sent a message to Xia Qiming.
He informed Xia Qiming that he was preparing to conquer the Dragon Court and might not be available to handle matters for Daxia for a while.
After sending the message, Chen Xu did not wait for a reply and took out the Dragon Court Key.
【Destiny Seeker, the Dragon Court dungeon has an extremely high danger level. Do you confirm triggering the key and teleporting to the Dragon Court?】
"Confirm!"
A flash of white light erupted, and Chen Xu disappeared from the spot.
The Blue Star boundary membrane opened a small gap, and the white light enveloping Chen Xu passed through the membrane channel and entered a fragment world.
【Destiny Seeker, entering the Dragon Court dungeon. Current dungeon exploration progress: 0%】
【The current dungeon is extremely dangerous. Destiny Seeker, good luck.】
