Note From Developer: Iโm a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. Thatโs why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

Zhao Hai frowned, not because the skeleton had hurt him. That skeleton was at most an eighth-level expert; how could it possibly injure Zhao Hai? The reason Zhao Hai frowned was because of the skeleton's strength. Although it appeared to have only around eighth-level strength, its power was astonishingly great. This single strike had a force comparable to that of the barbarian race, which was something Zhao Hai had not anticipated.
The barbarian race possessed immense strength, greater than that of the average orc tribe. Even the orc tribe's Elephant Race, known for their physical power, could only match the barbarians in terms of strength. Yet this silver skeleton had a strength that was not inferior to the barbarians? This was truly beyond Zhao Hai's expectations.
The silver skeleton, seeing that Zhao Hai had managed to block its attack, did not stop. Instead, it moved its foot and kicked towards Zhao Hai.
This action momentarily stunned Zhao Hai. He had not expected that this skeleton, in addition to its great strength, would also have such quick reflexes. Its movements were quite proficient, much stronger than the average undead being.
Of course, to say that these skeletons were stronger than the undead beings in his space would not be accurate. However, Zhao Hai could tell that this skeleton was not being controlled by anyone but was instead wild. For a wild skeleton to be this powerful was no small feat.
Zhao Hai dodged the skeleton's attack, but at that moment, the skeleton opened its mouth wide and seemed to let out a roar. Zhao Hai then heard footsteps approaching from all around. With a probe of his divine sense, he realized that the previously motionless skeletons were rushing towards him. Zhao Hai was slightly taken aback; he had not expected this skeleton to summon other skeletons. They were able to think like humans.
This was the first time Zhao Hai had seen such intelligent skeletons, aside from the ones in his space. However, he was not afraid; he planned to capture these skeletons and see where they came from.
Zhao Hai did not believe that these skeletons came from the demon realm. Though the demon realm was indeed called that, it also had some wild undead beings, but those undead were not this intelligent, and there was no such strong poison fog like this.
With a wave of the blood staff in Zhao Hai's hand, it transformed into a large net that enveloped the silver skeleton. He then flicked it, tossing the skeleton into his space.
As soon as the skeleton entered the space, a prompt sound was heard: "Detected a virus-infected robotic-like entity, removing virus. Virus has been cleared. Detected hostile programs towards the space, subjugation program initiated. Program has been subdued."
"Detected evolutionary robotic entity. Extracting advantages, strengthening all robotic-like entities in the space. Robotic entities can evolve."
Zhao Hai was stunned, then pleasantly surprised. He turned to look around and noticed several more skeletons had surrounded him. He waved his blood staff again and captured several skeletons, tossing them into the space. However, this time there was no prompt sound from the space, and Zhao Hai also noticed that these newly arrived skeletons were no longer silver but had a greenish hue that resembled bronze.
After looking around and finding nothing else of note, Zhao Hai flashed back into the space. He then immediately transformed those silver skeletons into a zombie. When he did so, he was taken aback because the person turned into a zombie was extremely handsome.
However, Zhao Hai had no time to pay attention to his looks and quickly asked, "What is your name? Where do you come from?"
The skeleton promptly bowed and replied, "In response to the master, my name is Silver Armor. The place I was born is called the Underworld. I was a low-level skeleton in the Underworld."
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed, "You mean to say you come from the Underworld? Is there really such a place?"
