Lightning flickered wildly across the sky, bolts striking under clear skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lightning Trees absorbed each strike, growing stronger with every bolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu had reached the region where the Lightning Trees were located. Before him stretched a vast mountain range, blanketed entirely by Lightning Trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Lightning Mountain Range was the largest of its kind on the Wind-Lightning Continent, home to over a million Lightning Trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how many bosses lived within, nor how powerful they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various other monsters inhabited the forest as well, coexisting peacefully with the Lightning Trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few people dared to come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lightning Trees never initiated attacks, but the monsters certainly did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting entangled with monsters alone was troublesome enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accidentally using an area-of-effect skill and provoking the Lightning Trees could be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they attacked together, few class users would survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, compared to the Wind Flower cluster, this place was relatively safer. As long as one was lucky and didn’t venture too deep, escape was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once someone entered the depths of the Lightning Mountain Range, only fate would decide their end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu flew nearly 100 kilometers into the mountain range before stopping. Suspended high in the sky, he looked down at the vast sea of Lightning Trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their heights varied—short trees with thin trunks, tall ones with thick trunks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their size clearly reflected their level; the thicker and taller, the higher the level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was well-documented knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Moyu observed, something caught his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Lightning Trees are grouped into units of 10,000… Each cluster forms a small region. The boundaries are faint, but visible if you look closely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the forest was divided into sections, each separated by gaps of several dozen meters. Monsters lived within these gaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the entire Lightning Mountain Range was a kingdom, then these sections were its cities—distinct and orderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every section of 10,000 Lightning Trees had one massive, towering tree at its center: a world rank boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by its aura, Lin Moyu estimated it to be around level 80.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued flying deeper, into a land untouched by humans, a realm ruled solely by lightning and Lightning Trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Wind Flowers could not survive here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he observed further, a pattern became undeniable: the Lightning Trees always formed sections of 10,000. And for every 100,000, there was an even greater tree overseeing the 10 sections like a provincial lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case… there must be a king. A ruler of all the Lightning Trees.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And that king should be at the center of the mountain range.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu gazed toward the center, sending his soul force outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a brilliant bolt of lightning tore across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire mountain range lit up as countless serpents of lightning wove through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space itself twisted, as if on the verge of rupture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What astonishing lightning… nearly God-level,” Lin Moyu murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning spread across hundreds of kilometers, then a bolt connecting heaven and earth crashed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that blinding flash, Lin Moyu saw an immense Lightning Tree atop the highest peak, absorbing and enduring the strike without fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the king of the Lightning Tree.” He concluded instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its level was at least level 88, perhaps even level 89, but still short of God-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer the sections were to the king, the stronger the Lightning Trees became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the lightning’s glow, Lin Moyu spotted an entire guard of boss rank Lightning Trees, forming a royal guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning continued to hammer the Lightning Tree king, then spread into the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes. Once the lightning entered the ground, he could no longer trace it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there something beneath the ground?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was wrong. He just couldn’t say what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since seeing the structure of the Lightning Tree forest, Lin Moyu felt they resembled animals more than plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary plants didn’t form such orderly systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the information he’d gathered, Lightning Trees possessed a degree of intelligence and even a simple hierarchy, dividing their territory into units resembling a nation’s provinces and cities. No plant should behave like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered, a sharp cry split the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Thunder Eagle, sparks crackling around its body, burst from the Lightning Tree forest and swooped at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of fire ignited in Lin Moyu’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skill: Soul Blaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunder Eagle shrieked and plummeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only around level 75, and not even a boss, so Soul Blaze almost instantly killed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It crashed into the ground, triggering a wave of shrill cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lightning Tree forest erupted. Thunder Eagles surged into the sky, swooping toward Lin Moyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hitting one had provoked them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come to the Lightning Mountain Range to hunt Lightning Trees anyway, so dealing with the monsters here was only natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His undead army appeared in the sky. Before the Headless Knights could even charge, the Skeletal Great Mages and Skeletal Marksmen fired first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skill: Elemental Rampage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skill: Soul Shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elemental blasts and soul attacks rained down together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder Eagles fell like raindrops, crashing into the Lightning Tree forest below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaotic elemental aura still clung to them, and the flames from the explosions had yet to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those flames spread across the Lightning Trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lightning Trees’ branches quivered and released lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions of lightning boomed through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if responding to a signal, the entire Lightning Tree forest reacted. The whole Lightning Mountain Range suddenly came alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From high in the sky, Lin Moyu saw a breathtaking sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally understood why this place was called the Lightning Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast range, stretching 1,000 kilometers deep and hundreds wide, transformed into a sea of lightning in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Lightning Tree acted in unison, firing bolts of lightning skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu and his undead army were swallowed by the sea of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Lightning Elemental Immunity allowed him to ignore the attacks, but his undead troops were not so fortunate; they took constant damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passive Elemental Resistance skill reduced incoming elemental damage to him and his summons eightfold, but even with that, the sheer number of attacks was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even weak blows could kill an elephant if enough ants delivered them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were over a million Lightning Trees in the mountain range, and at least a third were now targeting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning filled his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like with the Wind Flowers, he once again felt the exhilaration of being overwhelmed by sheer numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead army surged through the sea of lightning, pressing toward the ground below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The throne of bones emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Lin Moyu changed tactics. He summoned three Skeletal Kings, each formed from 30,000 skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Skeletal King had cooldowns, summoning three allowed him to unleash three consecutive waves of area-of-effect attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against ordinary Lightning Trees, a Skeletal King of 30,000 skeletons was more than sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Skeletal Kings split apart, advancing through the churning lightning. Their immense attributes let them endure the lightning for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their two skills, Godslayer and Elemental Rampage, were both devastating area-of-effect attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each skill covered a radius of 3,000 meters, blanketing everything within range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bone swords swept out, cleaving through lightning itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arcs of sword qi tore across the ground, ripping through the Lightning Trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous Lightning Trees within range were cut cleanly in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But plant-type monsters boasted high health; that alone wasn’t enough to kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came Elemental Rampage, a violent eruption that blew up huge numbers of Lightning Trees, roots and all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White light rose from Lin Moyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single sequence of strikes, he earned an enormous surge of EXP, shooting straight to level 73.\u003C\u002Fp>",1410,"2026-06-06T10:27:24.747Z",1,"novelbin.me","863f7b335e61167cfb6850a080507550afc2fd51c5361ea3cdec369294b5f40d","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-617","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-615",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnecromancer-i-am-a-disaster-cover.jpg"]
