There was also a "zongzi" (a type of rice dumpling) about two meters tall, with a dark green body, lifeless eyes, and stiff limbs.
"Waaaaaah!"
The moment they were discovered, a large number of Cave Demon Spider launched their attack.
Spider silk, laced with deadly venom, sprayed towards him, forming a vast, intricate web.
The stiff-limbed "zongzi" (rice dumplings) smelled his scent and rushed to tear him apart for food, but they were a little slow.
After spending an entire afternoon, Cao Yu had only managed to subdue six thousand undead creatures.
Two thousand of them were Cave Demon Spider, and the rest were "zombies".
Deeper into the cave, Cao Yu also discovered other types of undead creatures.
For example, liches, vengeful spirits, shadows, and hellfire.
However, the quantity is simply too large, so we can only deal with it slowly at a later time.
After emerging from the demiplane, Cao Yu was finally able to breathe fresh air.
By this time, Snow Empress had already left his office. He had originally wanted Xue Di to give him a back massage.
However, this idea was just something I thought about. If I actually said it, I'd be incredibly lucky if she didn't beat me up.
After several months of trouble.
Cao Yu has subdued almost 70% of the undead creatures in the demiplane.
Their numbers are approximately 300,000, which is equivalent to possessing a terrifying military force.
There are more than ten types, including liches, bone dragons, abominations, skeleton knights, skeletons, Cave Demon Spider, "zombies", vengeful spirits, shadows, and hellfire.
There are still two types that have not yet been seen. Both of them are hidden in the deepest part of the demiplane, and Cao Yu cannot access them yet. Elder Yi said that he needs to become Titled Douluo before he can see their true forms.
The most prominent characteristic of undead creatures is their immortality; as long as this demiplane exists, these undead can still be resurrected.
Some time ago, the Star Luo Empire shipped him a large batch of weapons, such as Gatling guns, rocket launchers, and machine guns, which were then matched with skeletons, "zombies," and skeleton knights.
This also led to the weakest creatures, skeletons and rice dumplings, becoming a major fighting force.
The Skeleton King also helps train them, after all, this king of skeletons has an exceptionally high intelligence, not much less than that of a normal person.
Elder Yi couldn't help but praise, "You're really clever, kid. You've managed to squeeze the greatest value out of this useless skeleton."
"Haha, with this immortal and indestructible modern army of undead, who will be my match in the future?"
Cao Yu is currently directing the training of the massive bone dragon, while the smaller skeletons sit on its back.
Then it takes off and strikes the objects marked on the ground.
The skeletons used to be responsible for launching missiles and similar items from their backs, but now they're being trained using mud instead.
The massive abominations can act as human walls to defend against enemy attacks.
Around 100,000 undead creatures were responsible for matching the suicide bombs; since they could all be resurrected, it wouldn't matter if they were destroyed.
"Why does this feel strangely similar to a real-world game, Clash of Clans?"
Upon closer reflection, they do indeed share some similarities.
Shaking his head to clear his mind, Cao Yu stayed there for a while before leaving.
The next morning.
The Shrek Seven Devils quickly gathered at the academy gate. This time, not only Cao Yu and his group came, but also a new batch of substitute members.
The new captain of the Shrek Seven Devils is Wang Qiu'er. The rest are also familiar faces: Huo Yuhao, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Luo Yan, Cao Jinxuan, and Zhou Sichen.
However, with Cao Yu around, this batch of substitutes will definitely only be able to play a minor role.
Just like last time.
" Brother Yu, are you nervous right now?" Luo Yan leaned closer and asked, her voice trembling with excitement.
"What's there to be nervous about? Just treat it as a trip." He held her small, warm hand. Soon, several other women gathered around to chat with Luo Yan.
Wang Qiu'er, reminded him from the side, "You better not be careless. What if we lose and have to rely on our substitutes?"
At this moment, Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan also came over and said, "How could the class monitor possibly lose? If anyone should lose, it'll be them. Shrek will definitely win!"
" Shrek will win!" everyone shouted.
This time, the team was led by Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Teacher Wang Yan, with one more dean than last time.
The others smiled, Xuan Zi nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Children, let's go. I hope we can achieve victory again this time."
"Don't be discouraged if your substitutes don't get to play. After all, besides He Caitou and Xu Sanshi, you'll have another chance to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament."
"Understood, Xuan Zi." Apart from He Caitou and Xu Sanshi, who are both older, the rest of the substitutes have the opportunity to participate in the new round of the Soul Fighting Tournament three years from now.
He Caitou and Xu Sanshi were already twenty years old three years later.
Xu Sanshi, however, said nonchalantly, " Xuan Zi, I'm already prepared to be a spectator this time."
He Caitou nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I think too."
Xuan Zi smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, I'm also very pleased that you have this mindset."
He had originally planned to comfort the two of them, but the two children took it so well that he didn't have to explain anything.
Yan Shaozhe reminded him from the side, " Xuan Zi, it's getting late, we should set off."
"Okay, kids, sit tight."
Standing on the Flying Soul Tool, guided by Xuan Zi, the group flew at an extremely fast speed towards the distance.
Their purpose in this trip was to travel to the Sun Moon Empire, where the Continental Soul Fighting Tournament would be held.
Along the way, everyone chatted to pass the time.
Cao Yu asked Xuan Zi, " Xuan Zi, how many sects will be participating in this competition?"
Xuan Zi slowly said, "According to statistics, nearly 60% of the sects across the entire continent have already signed up."
"Actually, a long time ago, sects could participate in the Continental Soul Fighting Tournament, but it was later canceled. Now, this format has been restored in the new tournament. I wonder what the Sun Moon Empire is planning."
Cao Yu speculated, "I suspect the Sun Moon Empire is planning a war; their ambitions are considerable!"
"It's not impossible, after all, the situation has been getting increasingly tense these past few years." Xuan Zi then laughed heartily and looked at Cao Yu.
"With you around, their plans are probably doomed. The Star Luo Empire will likely dominate the world in the future."
" Xuan Zi, what are you saying? I'm not that powerful at all!"
"Haha, don't be so modest. I can tell you have the ability."
After a pause, Xuan Zi continued, "There are nearly two hundred teams participating this time, and the prize for the champion is incredibly generous—I heard it's a Level 9 Soul Tool. You'd better seize this opportunity, kid."
"Tch! Just one Level 9 Soul Tool? The research institutes in the Star Luo Empire already have quite a few."
"I knew I wasn't wrong about you. Looks like you've been planning this all along."
