Killing them should be enough to gather the materials for the graveyard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, one of the two accompanying necromancers spoke in a hoarse voice, telling everyone the information they wanted to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned and looked in unison at the two necromancers hidden under their cloaks behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time they had spoken since leaving the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let the skeleton armies take the front. As long as you can hold out for the first half of the battle, leave the rest to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a kind of confidence, the confidence of the undead race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earthshaker, Gronthar, Drakthul, Arden, and Selenis exchanged glances, and finally, Drakthul stepped forward to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, we'll do as you say!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no choice; fulfilling the necromancers' request was Orion's instruction before they descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The graveyard currently needed a large amount of bone and corpse materials, and the dark forest before them could provide it; they had to go in, even if it meant biting the bullet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have the skeleton warriors lead the way, with small scorpions guarding both flanks. We'll follow behind and provide support when the time is right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discussing and coming up with a plan to enter the forest, they followed the route taken by the previous squad of small scorpions and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest was eerily quiet, utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no crow caws, no sparrow chirps, not even the sound of mosquitoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too strange!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because it was too quiet, gradually, Earthshaker, Gronthar, Drakthul, Arden, and Selenis all grew tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enemies approaching! Prepare for battle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this oppressive moment, the hoarse voice of the necromancers behind them sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the five could even ask, pairs of greenish-red eyes lit up in the darkness ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, they were pairs of compound eyes of varying sizes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Earthshaker, Gronthar, and Drakthul threw their torches into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The torches were imbued with the power of blood and life force, which exploded with the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the flickering firelight, everyone finally saw the enemy clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were Blind Spiders, some hanging upside down from giant trees, some clinging between tree trunks, some prostrate on the ground... all silently watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare for battle! It's a Spider colony!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare for battle! Circular defensive formation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earthshaker and Drakthul shouted almost simultaneously, and after these two cries, the silent Shadowcrag Forest filled with dense hissing sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of Blind Spiders before them was too numerous to count, but this, paradoxically, put everyone somewhat at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unknown is what's truly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Blind Spiders they saw now were prey, were dark source crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the command of the two necromancers, the skeleton warriors spread out, shielding the main group from the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selenis also reacted quickly, dispatching the small scorpions into the dense forest to establish a defensive line for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch above!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden reminded everyone. At some unknown point, Blind Spiders had also started attacking from above, hanging upside down from the giant trees over their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, with skeleton warriors and small scorpions as cannon fodder, the Blind Spiders attacking from all sides posed no real threat to the main group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those enemies from the giant trees above were very difficult to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fight bravely! We will summon skeleton archers shortly, and then they will no longer be a threat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The necromancer's voice sounding at this moment was reassuring and calming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arden, summon the Storm Vulture! Tear open these giant trees above our heads!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, protect the two necromancers and High Priestess Selenis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Drakthul's command. After issuing it, he, Earthshaker, and Gronthar split in three directions, rushing towards areas where Alpha-level auras were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this desperate struggle, the Hyenas beneath them also suppressed their inner fear and charged out with their masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle began: it was life or death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The void passage. Orion's expression turned slightly grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected that Delilah's and Earthshaker's two invasion teams would both start major battles almost simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion didn't think this was a coincidence; there had to be some underlying issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giant King Orion, I have to say, the combat prowess of those subordinates of yours is truly astounding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Orion was pondering, Lolth, who hadn't appeared for a long time, suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only at this moment that Orion understood Lolth must have been involved in these two incidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you've left quite a few will projection within your territory!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing the mastermind, the doubt on Orion's face vanished, and he became calm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giant King Orion, are you angry? Or worried?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about you return some materials to me, and I'll let them off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1076,"2026-05-29T15:49:28.616Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","7794c2f0964c0d62fa5e72967ed5b20536e5dc271c78b1a1c103838cc282103a","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-641","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-639",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
