Its venomous tail hook whistled through the air, plunging into the poisonous Lesser Dragon's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now's the time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earthshaker roared, lifted the totem pole, leaped into the air, and smashed it directly towards the poisonous Lesser Dragon's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the giant scorpion also raised its pincers, further immobilizing the poisonous Lesser Dragon's wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hole was smashed into the poisonous Lesser Dragon's head. Its body instantly lost control, falling to the ground like a heap of garbage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant scorpion didn't release its pincers just yet, still firmly locking onto the poisonous Lesser Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Earthshaker extracted the Dark Source Crystal did the giant scorpion retract its poisonous stinger and release its pincers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle concluded. Earthshaker looked up, focusing on the other battlefields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Gronthar and Drakthul, who were dividing the battlefield, aided by the four Necromancers, had also successively slain the other two poisonous Lesser Dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relatively speaking, this is the best kind of summon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Necromancer approached Earthshaker, collected some of the poisonous Lesser Dragon's blood, and began inscribing a summoning magical formation on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the dead poisonous Lesser Dragon stood up again. The flesh on its body shriveled, and its eyes transformed into clumps of un-dissipating death energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the layer of scales still covering its exterior, Earthshaker felt this would be indistinguishable from a bone dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With these three poisonous Lesser Dragons helping, the speed at which we scout the surrounding environment will be greatly increased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having completed the summoning formation, the Necromancer's tone was considerably more cheerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their contingent wasn't large in number. Besides Arden's Storm Vulture, they truly lacked effective intelligence scouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the addition of three flying Alpha-level poisonous Lesser Dragons, they could scout in four directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, they could use their current position as a center, having these few flying beasts patrol back and forth in circular trajectories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, they could not only effectively scout the terrain but also detect enemies in advance and prepare for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The beasts here, compared to our world, are considerably fiercer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gronthar put away his battleaxe, clutching his arm as he walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the battle just now, his arm had unfortunately been corroded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, among the four Necromancers in the team, one knew a low-level dispel magic and dispelled the potent poison for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Gronthar feared this arm would have been crippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed more savage. They are more sensitive to battle, and also more bloodthirsty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was Selenis. The branch of the scorpion tribe she led only had two giant scorpions; one assisted Earthshaker, the other assisted Drakthul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the main reason why Gronthar was injured, lacking a giant scorpion to share the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pack up. We continue forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drakthul shouldered his spiked club, approached the four Necromancers, and signaled them to drive the surrounding skeleton warriors forward, continuing the advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Necromancers nodded, releasing the poisonous Lesser Dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they had the summoned skeleton warriors spread out in a circular formation to scout the path ahead and draw out any dark creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their contingent consisted of only three ten-thousand-strong armies, plus less than two hundred thousand small scorpions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their initial combat power would be somewhat lower, but as time went on, they would grow progressively stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the snowball effect kicked in would it be time for them to plunder wantonly and push aside all enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night gradually deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temporary camp Delilah and the others had constructed also became more chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warriors were constantly fighting and dying, constantly falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death caused panic among some of the more timid warriors, those with weaker mental fortitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially on such a pitch-black night, many volunteers regretted signing up to invade the otherworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there are always two sides to every story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were timid, but others were brave. Some were ruthless, killing dark creatures cleanly and decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which wave of dark creatures is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't remember either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just the Night Stalkers alone came in several waves, followed by Blind Spiders, and now Tentacle Monsters have appeared. These dark creatures are endless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Count yourself lucky! A squad nearby just encountered an Alpha-level Night Stalker and was almost wiped out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the front lines of the battlefield, a squad composed of human mercenaries was among those killing dark creatures decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their courage allowed them to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reward was that their pockets were now filled with Dark Source Crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were full of expectation for the future; if they could return alive this time, the strength of their Mercenary Corps would be greatly enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader, that succubus queen isn't bad. She didn't treat us as cannon fodder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't get distracted! Watch the surroundings! More dark creatures have broken through!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young member of the Mercenary Corps wanted to continue talking but was silenced by the cautious commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battle erupted once more after an angry roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camp center. Apart from Delilah and Saelen, all other Alpha-level experts had been dispatched to guard the four directions of the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Alpha-level experts holding the front line, they could promptly intercept Alpha-level dark creatures, preventing ordinary bloodline warriors from suffering harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Saelen, you go too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are an excellent archer. Places where Alpha-level dark creatures appear need you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saelen hesitated slightly; her perception was very keen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the result of their previous discussion, she was supposed to guard Delilah's side, preventing their leader from being assassinated by bizarre dark creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go. I have them guarding me. It's fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah pointed towards the expressionless Scorpion Soldiers following behind her; they were experts hatched by Soraya using Orion's bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These scorpion guards possessed Alpha-level strength from birth, sufficient to protect Delilah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Delilah herself wasn't weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any enemy approached, there was a high probability she would detect them beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the distance. Saelen acknowledged the order and sped rapidly towards the direction of the scream.\u003C\u002Fp>",1165,"2026-05-29T15:49:28.616Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","f64bde52aef3569a133cbd2634e3881753c690c3b04c3e08783ca4d5a0a02e8f","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-617","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-615",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
