nChapter 240: Solin’s Persuasion, Unexpected! Severed Arm

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

n“Human, submit to me, undergo the great evolution, and conquer the world for me.”

nThe hoarse voice of the Skeleton King Solin resounded, like metal scraping against glass, dry and piercing.

nRegarding Solin’s ability to speak, Ji Chen wasn’t too surprised.

nAlthough it belonged to the skeleton race, generally speaking, skeletons didn’t have tongues or vocal cords and couldn’t speak.

nHowever, Solin, as a Skeleton King from a mystic realm and a red-legacy tier being, had reached a level where it could comprehend the ability and skill of speech and understand different languages, whether it was part of the skeleton race or not.

nThis was one of the rules of this world.

nIn just a moment, Ji Chen raised an eyebrow and said, “Great evolution?”

n“Exactly, the great evolution. According to your flesh and blood beings, it’s shedding all flesh and organs, completely transforming into a skeleton form.

nCompared to flesh and blood beings, the skeleton body isn’t afraid of pain, doesn’t experience fear, fatigue, or negative effects of the physical body, and doesn’t need to eat.

nAnd as long as the soul isn’t extinguished, it can easily achieve immortality and gain immense power over time.

nStrength has a lifespan. Isn’t this something your human race has always pursued?

nSkeletons are the most perfect form of life!”

nLooking at Solin, who raised both arms and spoke with fervor, Ji Chen first paused, then quirked his lips.

nWhile it’s true that the skeleton form does indeed possess numerous advantages, what Solin mentioned about not needing to eat, limitless stamina, and being impervious to pain was not entirely false.

nHowever… what good are these traits?!

nAren’t they just baseless claims?!

nIf one lacks those abilities to experience pleasure, then what meaning is there to life?!

nBut Ji Chen was also surprised that the Skeleton King Solin actually wanted to recruit him. That was a bit humorous.

nHe was known as the Player of the Fourth Cataclysm, so was he supposed to serve under a skeleton that wasn’t even human?

n(T

/N: Player of the Fourth Cataclysm is a term used in Chinese gaming to suggest that the person mentioned holds a significant and powerful position in the game’s universe.)

nSo he smiled and made an international gesture of goodwill towards Solin.

nAlthough Solin didn’t understand the exact meaning of the gesture, he deeply felt a sense of disdain and contempt, a burning anger rising.

nThe already hoarse voice turned even more grating as he said, “Pathetic and pitiful lowly creatures, limiting yourselves to these fragile bodies is truly foolish. Since you’ve foolishly rejected the invitation of the great Skeleton King Solin, 1’11 have no choice but to kill your physical body and then forcibly transform you into one of my kind.”

nRight after he spoke, the organized skeleton legion started moving forward, carrying a chilling intent to kill. Simultaneously, the remaining skeleton beings at the intermediate-grade skeleton camp also initiated their assaults.

nThe atmosphere instantly grew heavy, tension filling the air.

nHowever, Solin didn’t command the Skeleton Wyverns to attack because the Death Breath could destroy both the physical body and soul, leaving no bones behind. Once the bones and soul were completely obliterated, they couldn’t transform into skeletons anymore.

nIn his eyes, not only did Ji Chen have value for transformation, but his army also held value for preservation.

nSoon, the two most elite forces from both sides clashed, and the sounds of battle filled the air.

nOn one side, the skeleton legion, unafraid of pain and death, carried a desire to slaughter living beings.

nOn the other side, a mix of Naga, Murlocs, and other sea races, along with half-orcs, stared at the enemies before them without fear or retreat. Led by their Lord, they possessed the determination to overcome all odds.

nAs soon as contact was made, casualties appeared on both sides in an instant.

nWatching more and more soldiers valiantly fighting, torn to shreds by the skeleton legion, and the casualties rising, Ji Chen began to feel distressed.

nThese armies were all recruited with resources and a great deal of time investment. They were falling in droves, dying at the hands of these skeletons.

nWith little time to spare, all the armies and heroes joined the battle immediately.

nAlice’s singing voice was in full swing as she controlled a large number of skeletons, rendering them defenseless against the onslaught.

nAnina transformed into a humanoid giant whale, her every strike carrying terrifying power as she danced within the sea of skeletons.

nBenbo and Daro, relying on the special effects of their units, provided substantial buffs to their troops, greatly enhancing their strength.

nHowever…

nAs the Skeleton King, this time Solin not only brought his most elite forces but also most of his skeleton commanders.

nFive of the blue excellent-tier, eleven of the green elite-tier, and over thirty of the white common-tier commanders.

nRoughly calculated, excluding the leaders from both sides, Solin’s side actually had slightly more high-end combat power.

nThis time, it was almost an evenly matched battle.

nWatching his own army gradually dwindling, Ji Chen grew anxious.

nIf he exhausted his forces here, conquering this realm would lose much of its meaning.

nRecruiting an army of this scale would take at least a month.

nMaking a swift decision, he immediately ordered the self-detonating water spiders that had been waiting in the rear to charge forward.

nAfter several battles, the initial number of around 1,400 self-detonating water spiders dwindled to around 400.

nUnder Ji Chen’s command, they charged forward without hesitation, exploding amidst the skeleton horde.

nOn the battlefield, mushroom clouds rose one after another, the ground trembled, and powerful explosions and shockwaves swept through a large area of skeleton creatures..
