Consequences of Provoking a Necromancer (Seeking Monthly Votes… )\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had racked his brain to arrange today’s plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five Level 15 pirates, yet in the end, they still didn’t kill the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the pirates he had sent out all became skeleton attendants for the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was definitely not something an ordinary vice-executive could accomplish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, according to the intelligence, this was a newly promoted professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without answering, Wu Heng vigilantly watched the pirate captain, whose body was now missing a shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of a rocket could destroy a vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the captain hadn’t been directly blown to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All for a bounty of 500 Gold Coins?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if I say it is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t believe it, how would so many of you divide it up?” Wu Heng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait until you’re dead, then I’ll tell you,” the pirate captain growled angrily, his figure suddenly burst forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transforming into a shadowy figure of black aura, he lunged towards Wu Heng’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng raised his gun and swept fire, bullets piercing the black aura and shooting up into the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skull Crusher stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warhammer in his hand swung violently, smashing towards the black aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang~sizzle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Electrical current flashed, and the pirate captain’s figure dissipated like smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s running, that way!” Glenda warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to look, he saw the pirate captain’s figure hidden within the dark mist, barely visible, sprinting rapidly toward the outskirts of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s escaping?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him!” Wu Heng ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeletons at his side dashed out instantly, chasing after the distant figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng also took out a rocket launcher from his space ring and aimed it at the fleeing shape up ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pre-aiming the location, he pulled the trigger directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rocket, trailing flames, flew forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fleeing pirate captain felt an alarm in his heart, turned his head abruptly, and with his full attention, he threw a wave of black light towards the incoming rocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On contact, the speeding rocket instantly disintegrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned into a sky full of materials, scattering forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind, a mist rose up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kerim’s silhouette appeared behind the captain, slashing horizontally at his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirate captain turned his body on the spot, dodging the strike while his mouth transformed into a jaw filled with sharp teeth, biting towards his pursuer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kerim bent his legs and kicked off the captain’s chest, using the momentum to retreat backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton thief armed with Shuangdao also approached, attacking vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The double blades struck out, targeting the lower ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain dodged swiftly, his body bulged out once more, battling the skeleton while retreating towards the village outskirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he was not easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in the distance, Wu Heng watched the fighting scene with some surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Captain of the Hand of the Devil’s combat strength was stronger than the previous five pirates, and his fighting style was also peculiarly unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used close combat as well as magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the pirate captain held back, Wu Heng drew out a Barrett once more, aiming from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choosing the right moment, he pulled the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the explosion of distant thunder, the pirate captain’s left rib cage burst open, vanishing from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kerim kicked fiercely, and the swollen body was instantly kicked away, striking a wall like a sandbag, with bricks tumbling down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two skeletons immediately followed up, their weapons swinging relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of bones breaking and flesh being cleaved filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps sensing danger and impending death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beneath the courtyard wall, the pirate captain’s desperate screams could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go back with you, I confess my guilt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you kill me, the Demon’s Hand Pirate Group will retaliate against all of you; more people will die then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu Heng, it was the Blank Envelope that made me do it, the promise it gave me wasn’t the bounty, you can’t kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ligui and others from the association watched the scene before them with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The infamous Hand of the Devil from the Emerald Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirate group leader whom no one dared to provoke for decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was now being beaten up in a corner, continuously pleading for mercy, trying to make them stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap tap tap~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A multitude of footsteps sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shouts attracted the villagers from the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They closed in from all directions, holding torches in one hand and various weapons such as knives and swords in the other, surrounding the group in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They gradually drew closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the association, who thought they had won, looked even more upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the situation had taken a new turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Release the captain and leave our village,” the village chief spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Release the captain and leave our village!” hundreds of villagers shouted in unison, their footsteps pressing forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would the association dare to kill all of these hundreds of people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they did resort to direct conflict, these people could only retreat from the village, avoiding the wrath of the villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, don’t be impulsive, this man is a pirate, don’t act rashly,” the local vice-executive, who had come along with them, shouted loudly, trying to calm the villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with every shout, the villagers’ footsteps quickened even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng glanced at the encircling villagers and gestured for the other members to move closer to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He warned coldly, “The Association is apprehending a pirate fugitive, those who obstruct will be treated as accomplices.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers, who had been narrowing their circle, hesitated as they looked at the indifferent expressions of the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people from this Association could even defeat the captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they really fought, many people might actually die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village head stood among the crowd and scanned them before saying, “They’re all badly wounded, kill them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers no longer hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising their weapons, they charged toward Wu Heng and the other severely wounded Association members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng didn’t say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The submachine gun slung over his shoulder was lifted, and he pulled the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Bang Bang~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muzzle spat out flames instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullets whistled out, and a swath of villagers was pierced through, slowly falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it was the villagers on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the thunderous sound of gunfire, they fell in heaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village head’s body began to contort, and with a look of terror on his face, his neck twisted like a twist roll and he too fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the village head and the villagers at the forefront died one after another,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the remaining villagers halted their advance, fear in their hearts, and subconsciously stepped back a few paces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Association really dared to kill villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xi Ligui and the rest of the squad members were surprised at Wu Heng’s killing spree, yet there was also a sense that they knew he would do something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Provoking a Necromancer,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was not a wise move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even if you died, he could continue to torment you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to confirm this notion, a pale gray ring of light spread out, and all the bodies on the ground turned into skeletons, slowly standing up and picking up the weapons that had fallen beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the rest of the villagers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden rise of these skeleton frames\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>caused the villagers’ faces to change drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stepped back involuntarily once again, their scalps tingling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Necromancy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could actually summon the dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those who were used to seeing death felt a chill at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a notably sharp sound of a blade entering flesh echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirate captain’s head fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It rolled out from around the corner and appeared in everyone’s line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, two skeleton attendants walked from afar, one holding the head, the other dragging the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirate captain’s body was twisted and broken, limbs missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such significant loss of limbs, even conversion would be quite difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng bent down to examine the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining arm still had a Space Ring on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took off the Space Ring and then pulled out a straw mat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wrap it up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton wrapped the body in the straw mat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng promptly stowed it in his Space Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze returned to the bewildered and stunned villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He declared plainly, “No one is to leave the village. Anyone who flees or resists will be executed on the spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly transformed skeletons instantly dispersed, surrounding all the villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time some villagers came to their senses and planned to escape,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they found themselves surrounded by skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had missed their best chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn at a country house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door swung open, and a disheveled and faint-looking Xi Ligui walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night’s battle had left everyone with serious injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after taking elixirs, it was not something that could be recovered from quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you alright?” Xi Ligui asked with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine. What about the others?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ligui sat down in a chair beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The others are also fine, although the injuries of the two investigators are more severe, seeing as they’re not warriors by nature, their physiques are somewhat lacking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, she looked at Wu Heng again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked directly, “How are you so powerful?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1582,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.488Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","e8bcd416a959889b83797a128d42c3108e296982b53ee2258e5fe3e8583c5922","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-483","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-481",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
