It looked eerie and unnatural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reaction of the monsters was even more telling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even ordinary monsters above level 70 possessed a sliver of instinct—enough to sense danger and avoid courting death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer the skeleton approached the pool, the stronger the poison’s effects became, inflicting greater damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pool wasn’t large—barely 10 meters across, more a pond than anything else. Yet its presence was oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poisonous liquid churned continuously, its color deepening the closer it came to the center. At the very heart, the green grew so dark it turned inky, almost blackish-purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the edge, the skeleton surveyed the desolation. Not a single creature stirred. In fact, not even a rock remained nearby. It was as if everything had been dissolved by the poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rocks here were extremely hard—far tougher than steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu had no way to destroy them; he even suspected they were tougher than the ground in the upper layer’s core area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monsters steered well clear of this place; wherever the poison spread, it turned into a dead zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The liquid near the pool’s edge was a pale, translucent green, offering a glimpse of the bottom. And there, Lin Moyu noticed something. Something that could survive inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton crouched and extended a finger into the liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sizzle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green smoke billowed as dense waves of poison surged. The liquid itself was far deadlier than the fumes above it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton immediately took considerable damage. But with over 27,000 undead troops sharing the burden, the skeleton could temporarily withstand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reached deeper into the poisonous depths and grasped the object Lin Moyu had spotted—a crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu’s eyes gleamed in surprise, “A Poison Crystal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was identical to the one he’d got from the Earth Evil Centipede. Since then, he hadn’t found another—until now. And this one had come so effortlessly it felt almost absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he peered into the pool, Lin Moyu realized there wasn’t just one Poison Crystal. There were multiple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer to the center, the more numerous they became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even suspected that at the heart of the pool lay legendary-grade poison elemental materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the skeleton retrieved the crystal, the serpent-type monsters lurking in the distance stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they rose, their eyes fixed greedily on the Poison Crystal in the skeleton’s hand, filled with undisguised longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none dared to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poisonous fumes kept them at bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they could advance, it was useless—the crystals were within the pool, and the poison within was far stronger than the air around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu ignored them. He was preoccupied with a bigger question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should I explore the pool’s center? And how do I retrieve the Poison Crystals safely?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing the monsters wasn’t the problem. What worried Lin Moyu was whether doing so would draw out the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That 100-meter-long Flood Dragon wasn’t something to take lightly. If it appeared, it would be a fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the ground trembled—a low, muffled rumble echoed through the desolation. It was as if something had exploded underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a chorus of rustling sounds rose around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind rocks, out of cracks, and from the shadows, serpent-type monsters began to emerge. They poured forth in waves, their numbers staggering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s happening?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His scalp tingled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t just a few thousand—it had to be over 100,000 serpents, all slithering toward one place: the poisonous pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly suppressed his aura and remained perfectly still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire swarm—regardless of size or strength—rushed toward the pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu guessed it had something to do with the tremors a moment ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpent-type monsters, all above level 70, moved with astonishing speed. In an instant, the pool was completely surrounded, their positions once again arranged by strength and size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skeletal Berserk Warrior by the pool looked utterly out of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of the monsters paid it any attention. Not even to the Poison Crystal it held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, every serpent in the horde lifted its gaze to the sky—as if something was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu followed their eyes. But there was nothing. Only dim, mottled light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, another deep, muffled sound rumbled from beneath the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vibration traveled straight to the poisonous pool, where the surface began to ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bubbles surged up from below, bursting one after another, releasing thick clouds of noxious green fumes. The air grew several times more toxic in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—silence. The bubbles abruptly vanished, and the pool’s surface sank slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds later, a deafening blast split the stillness as the poisonous liquid erupted like a massive fountain, shooting high into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous Poison Crystals were hurled into the air, scattering in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpent-type monsters instantly lost their minds. They lunged and leaped, frantically snatching at the falling crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu made no move to command the Skeletal Berserk Warrior, letting the poisonous rain splash across its bones with a sharp, continuous hiss, smoke curling from its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poison Crystals mixed with droplets of poisonous liquid fell like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpent-type monsters were clearly scared of the poisonous liquid, yet their greed for the Poison Crystals had driven them to madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than 100,000 serpent-type monsters erupted into a savage, frenzied struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A serpent soared into the air, snatching a fist-sized Poison Crystal in its jaws—only to be swallowed whole by larger serpents a heartbeat later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another serpent with pretty good luck swallowed a Poison Crystal, then quickly retreated and fled at high speed, ignoring the furious pursuit behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it fled, its body began to glow faintly, growing larger and stronger with each pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Poison Crystal was already taking effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the serpent returned, diving back into the fray to fight for more Poison Crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu watched the scene in grim astonishment. It was a savage, merciless struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the chance to grow stronger, they cared nothing for kinship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another column of poisonous liquid shot skyward, launching more Poison Crystals into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpent-type monsters erupted into another frenzied scramble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Poison Crystal landed right beside the skeleton. Without hesitation, it reached down and picked it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving along the edge of the pool, the skeleton calmly gathered more—seven in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiously, the pool’s perimeter acted like a sanctuary. No matter how savage the chaos grew, none of the serpent monsters dared come near it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pool erupted several more times, each blast sending Poison Crystals raining down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the madness began to settle, the skeleton clutched 10 Poison Crystals in its hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only problem now was how to get them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding area was a writhing sea of serpents. If the skeleton so much as stepped away from the pool’s edge, it would be devoured in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless Lin Moyu personally intervened and wiped them all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five consecutive eruptions, the pool finally seemed to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Lin Moyu could make up his mind, another muffled rumble echoed from the ground—heavier than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression tightened, “Looks like it’s not over yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—the sky darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horde of frenzied serpents froze at once, as if some invisible force had seized their will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large, shadowy shape appeared overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Flood Dragon Lin Moyu had seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes swept across the countless serpent monsters below, cold and disdainful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, its gaze landed on the lone skeleton standing at the edge of the poisonous pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint of curiosity flickered in its eyes. It opened its maw, and with a sharp, thunderous inhale, pulled the skeleton into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton was sucked toward it, vanishing into its mouth in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a snap of its jaws, a terrifying force clamped down on the skeleton, and a crack echoed through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton shattered instantly, bones splintering into fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 10 Poison Crystals it carried tumbled from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised, “What an unreasonable attack style.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Comprehensive Link talent had been rendered useless yet again, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t the first time. These bosses seemed to have some methods that bypassed his talent\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either their instantaneous attack power was too overwhelming for his talent to react, or they had unique abilities that outright ignored it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After just two chews, the Flood Dragon found the skeleton unappetizing and spat it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a massive column of poisonous liquid surged from the heart of the pool—larger, more violent than any eruption before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the rising torrent, Lin Moyu spotted a green substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like concentrated poison, far more profound than the Poison Crystals, radiating a fearsome poison elemental aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it was a poison elemental material, likely legendary-grade. A powerful urge surged within him—to seize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To seize or not to seize... that was the question!\u003C\u002Fp>",1508,"2026-06-06T10:27:05.628Z",1,"novelbin.me","348fbed23648bf3f519f1a7eb93c7c13b3b4ecc5a5e2f7740b48e288ec22d55e","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-449","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-447",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnecromancer-i-am-a-disaster-cover.jpg"]
