Laura and the others were also hearing Zhao Hai curse for the first time. Naturally, they understood that Zhao Hai was extremely angry. They sympathized with his feelings. Originally, Zhao Hai had adjusted his tactics and gained the upper hand when dealing with the divine race and demon clan, but now, with the sudden emergence of the Underworld, all of Zhao Hai's prior arrangements had been rendered useless.
Zhao Hai's previous arrangements were mainly aimed at the divine race and demon clan, and he hadn't deployed any forces in the north of the continent, considering it his rear base. Now, the emergence of the Underworld was like a sudden stab in his back, a lethal blow. Zhao Hai was already dealing with enough headaches from the divine and demonic clans; adding the Underworld to the mix was truly pushing him to his limits.
Fearing that Zhao Hai would damage his health in his anger—after all, she still remembered clearly how he had coughed up blood from anger over the divine race previously—Laura rushed to hug Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, don’t be like this. I beg you, if something happens to you, then the Ark Continent will truly have no hope left.”
Princess Li and a few others quickly ran over to support Zhao Hai. After a while, Zhao Hai finally calmed down. He gently patted Laura, who had tears in her eyes, and softly said, “It’s fine, I’m okay. Don’t worry!”
Zhao Hai waved his hand to store the silver armor and then said to Cai'er, “Cai'er, I just heard a prompt in the space. It mentioned that skeletons can evolve. What’s that all about?” Cai'er’s eyes lit up as she looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, the level-up of the skeletons in the space was entirely due to the space itself and had nothing to do with them. However, the silver armor has the advantage of being able to evolve to higher levels on its own. The space extracted this advantage and applied it to those undead beings, meaning that now those undead beings can evolve by themselves, even without the help of the Lucky Doll and Hell’s background. However, the speed of evolution won’t be very fast.”
Hearing Cai'er say this, Zhao Hai was momentarily stunned, then his eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “This is great news! If the skeletons in the space can evolve by themselves, it will definitely be a good thing for us!”
Zhao Hai's greatest worry had been that the skeletons couldn’t level up on their own. Now that they could evolve, it meant that they could level up independently, which was absolutely great news for Zhao Hai. But upon thinking about the threat from the Underworld, Zhao Hai’s headache returned. He truly didn’t know how to handle this situation.
Seeing that Zhao Hai was truly okay, Laura stopped crying and turned to Zhao Hai, noticing his pained expression. She couldn’t help but say, “Brother Hai, what should we do next? The power of the Underworld is likely not any weaker than that of the divine race or demon clan. Their appearance this time is really not good news for us, and the Orc Prairie may not hold up.”
Zhao Hai forced a bitter smile and said, “How can we defend? The silver armor is merely a low-level existence among those skeletons. But when I fought him outside just now, I discovered that his strength is comparable to a ninth-level expert, and his power rivals that of the barbarian clan. Do you know what that means? It means that even if they do not have a flying ninth-level expert dealing with him, it will still be quite a challenge. If a low-level skeleton is this strong, what about the high-level ones? I can’t even imagine. It’s not just the Orc Prairie; the entire Ark Continent may not hold up. You have to understand, most of those who came this time are undead beings. Our undead beings won’t gain any advantage in front of them. Without this advantage, how are we supposed to deal with those guys from the Underworld? And not to mention, the divine race and demon clan are watching us closely. It seems that all our previous arrangements have been in vain. Also, have you considered the possibility of other beings from different dimensions appearing in the Ark Continent due to the Underworld showing up here? If that’s the case, it will only be more troublesome. How many people will die if we keep confronting them directly?”
