"Physical strength has reached level one; attacks below 500 points cannot cause damage."

"All internal organs have atrophied and lost their activity, and are no longer capable of providing energy for bodily functions."

"It is impossible to determine how they functioned under conditions of physical inactivity."

"Residual elemental traces were found on the body, indicating that the deceased possessed elemental attack capabilities."

Leo fiddled with the only Eyeless Spider corpse he had obtained, writing down every observation in his notebook. These seemingly insignificant details might lead Leo to unexpected discoveries.

This kind of behavior isn't something Leo, a wizard, is doing; Alice just completed an autopsy just now.

Every wizard possesses different knowledge, and their observations will also differ.

"Therefore, these Eyeless Spider have definitely been dead for a long time and have been preserved through special means. Judging from the types of attacks these Eyeless Spider attack, the person controlling them can unleash 60% to 70% of the power of these undead Eyeless Spider."

The world of the undead was also mentioned in the records of wizarding civilization. Because undead creatures are not afraid of being injured or dying, are extremely powerful, and have amazing work efficiency, they attracted the attention of wizards when they first encountered them.

For a considerable period, wizards enjoyed studying these undead creatures, as they required no resources, their fates were unknown, and they were far less expensive than a normal army of slaves.

However, it was eventually discovered that undead creatures did not possess any special abilities, except for their ability to manipulate souls.

According to the law of conservation of energy, the energy consumed by the undead is not conjured out of thin air; they have long lost their ability to absorb energy on their own and rely entirely on the energy provided by their controllers.

In this respect, it is incomparable to a normal army of slaves; what wizard would willingly offer their magic to the undead?

Isn't that a disguised way of weakening oneself?

Therefore, the undead later became part of the ordinary slave army under the wizard's command, and there were a few undead in this expeditionary slave army.

Leo and Alice, along with a few scattered wizards at the edge of the battlefield, looked at the devastated main battlefield in the distance. At first, they were very nervous, but now they felt much better. As long as they stayed here, there was no danger, and it was very quiet.

The distance is only a few hundred kilometers, but it's like two different worlds!

That place is the graveyard of life; here, peace and tranquility reign.

Every so often a small squad of Eyeless Spider would charge in this direction, only to be killed by a much larger army of wizards and slaves.

Leo was somewhat bored; his current state was quite different from his imagined expedition to another world.

The battlefield was fierce, but they couldn't participate; they could only be spectators.

Given the current situation, it's not advisable to venture into the underground world alone; whoever goes in will die.

We can only wait!

The information from the crystal ball revealed an underground world where the corpses of Eyeless Spider were stored in unknown quantities.

Even with such a high kill count on the main battlefield, they probably didn't even kill 1%.

Even combined, the three battlefields only account for 3%.

The battlefield had been fiercely contested since the start of the fighting, with no sign of abating. This continued for half a month, with the wizards only occasionally returning to the rear to rest before resuming their slaughter.

Leo and Alice stood on the edge of the battlefield for half a month, and they did some things, at least getting to know all the wizards who were watching the show in the same state as them, and killing less than a hundred Eyeless Spider.

One hundred Eyeless Spider is equivalent to killing six to seven spiders every day.

'What an intense battle!'

"The corpses of these Eyeless Spider can at most be used to craft some equipment for a wizard Apprentice Level. If no other discoveries are made, the Black Skull Stigmata Wizard might have to lose money."

Not every expedition is profitable. The reason why the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard could reap such great benefits from a miniature world Jeft World is largely due to Leo opening a spatial channel, saving on the costs of a starship, traversing the universe, and other expenses.

Otherwise, the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard wouldn't have given Leo 1% of the world's revenue!

The expedition began incurring costs from the very first moment. The starship burned through money at a rate that could be described in seconds, not to mention the numerous wizards and slave armies that also required funding.

If wizards are lost, the costs will only increase. Every expedition is somewhat like gambling, except that you win more often than you lose, and there are times when the entire army is wiped out.

The largest expense was the calculation of battle merits. Each point of battle merit was equivalent to an energy crystal. The war lasted for half a month and killed hundreds of millions of Eyeless Spider, which was the huge expenditure on battle merits.

Leo didn't know about the other wizards, but he currently had 101 battle merits, which he could exchange for energy crystals after assessing the danger of the Black Tomb World.

Even if one hundred battle merits can be exchanged for one energy crystal, given the current situation on the battlefield, the Black Skull Stigmata Wizard would have to spend tens of millions of energy crystals.

The key point is that this is only half a month into the war. Wars in the middle world usually last thirty to fifty years, and the enormous expenses are something that even Stigmata Wizard cannot afford.

Looking at this Black Tomb World filled with endless yellow sand, there are no profitable resources to be seen. Without income, isn't that just losing money?

Leo had thought that the fighting situation should have eased up by now after half a month, but the reality far exceeded Leo expectations.

This fierce battle lasted for a full six months; they fought with all their might for a full six months.

No one knows how many Eyeless Spider were killed. In any case, the world that was originally yellow sand has now turned black. Dig down several meters and you see nothing but black sand, not a trace of yellow sand in sight.

The original battlefield is long gone. The constantly shifting battlefield is like a natural disaster, shattering the earth's crust wherever it goes, exposing the underground world directly to the sunlight.

The other two battlefields were similar, constantly shifting and repeatedly breaching the earth's crust, exposing the long-hidden underground world to the light of day.

What Leo least expected was that these wizards who commanded the battle were manipulating the battlefield with a clear purpose and direction, calculating the exact location where the aftershocks of the battle would pierce the earth's crust with perfect accuracy.

It's like directing both sides to perform a precise, scalpel-like operation on the ground.

The battlefield appeared chaotic, with seemingly aimless fighting, but when the time came, a beam of energy emanating from beneath the starship precisely targeted a pre-calculated location.

A single energy cannon shot pierced a hole only a hundred meters in diameter. This seemingly ordinary shot caused a chain reaction, resulting in the collapse of the earth's crust within a radius of a thousand miles.

Only at this moment did Leo realize that the weak points of the earth's crust had already been calculated. By drilling through the excess areas, only one point needed to be hit to cause massive damage.

What appeared to be an ordinary shot, with an attack power of no more than 100,000, actually buried tens of millions of Eyeless Spider.

Such an attack causes damage multipliers reaching a million times!

Absolutely amazing!

Leo was utterly impressed!

The entire war was conducted under the calculations and commands of the wizards, who seemed to have no regard for these Eyeless Spider at all. Even though their numbers were thousands of times greater than the wizard army, they were still slaughtered like dogs by the wizard army!

At this point, the Eyeless Spider army, which had been the most formidable until now, actually began to retreat.

Without any warning, they retreated underground like a tide, showing no sign of stopping. Even as the wizard army reaped them in droves from behind, they remained unmoved, determined to retreat underground.

In less than three hours, not a single Eyeless Spider could be seen on the sandy ground.

[Attention, wizard army! Attention, wizard army! Attention!]

Just as the army of Eyeless Spider retreated underground, the broadcast from the starship resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

[The mechanical slave army is expected to be deployed in three breaths. Please make way.]

The wizard army below the starship suddenly parted, and the next second, the lowest deck of the starship opened, and like the sky collapsing, the waters of the Milky Way swept down.

An uncountable army of mechanical slaves began to unload themselves from the starship onto the underground world.

Leo didn't know how many mechanical slaves were inside the starship. In his eyes, it was just like the saying on Earth: " The Yellow River flows down from the sky, and the mechanical slave river seems to want to fill the underground world."

The ordeal lasted for a full five minutes, during which over one hundred million mechanical slaves were dumped into the underground world.

[The great Black Skull Stigmata Wizard's command was relayed; thirty breaths later, the entire wizard army entered the underground world in an orderly fashion.]

Leo instantly dropped his lazy demeanor; the expedition to the Black Tomb World had only just begun!

Time passed second by second, and the underground world continued to rumble, as the mechanical slaves fought against the Eyeless Spider.

The sound was initially very loud, but gradually became softer, and eventually, the vibrations were imperceptible when standing on the ground.

The entire battlefield was silent; all the wizards were waiting for the appointed time to arrive.

As soon as the thirty breaths were up, the slave army roared and surged into the underground world.

Leo and Alice followed closely behind, but because they were too far from the main battlefield, they were once again the last to enter when they arrived.

The difference in elevation between the surface and the underground world is nearly five thousand meters. When Leo, Alice, and some wizards landed in the underground world, it was no longer the pitch-black place they had seen in the crystal ball.

Light sources suspended above the earth's crust illuminated the entire underground world, revealing it clearly before their eyes.

The mechanical slaves who descended first had already transformed the underground world, clearing the first obstacle for the subsequent wizard army.
