The army of the divine race now only numbered over forty million, down from nearly a hundred million. The rest had been buried in the mountains.
Although the strength of the divine race was formidable, the impact of a collapsing mountain was beyond their capability to resist. Those buried under the rubble had little hope of survival.
However, Zhao Hai did not order the undead beings to attack. He had noticed that these individuals had completely lost their will to resist, and in such a circumstance, it made little difference whether they were killed or spared.
As expected, when these people saw that they were surrounded by the undead beings, except for a few, the others all wore expressions of fear.
At this moment, Zhao Hai, riding on the darkness king, approached the perimeter of these people. He glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "Put down your weapons. I will take you to a place and give you a chance to live. Otherwise, you will die!"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, the divine race members were momentarily stunned. Then, they exchanged glances, and it was unclear who was the first to drop their weapon. Once one person did, a second followed, then a third, and soon nearly all of them had tossed aside their weapons.
Zhao Hai surveyed them, waved his hand, and a massive spatial rift appeared in midair. He said solemnly, "Everyone, go in." At the moment they dropped their weapons, they also let go of their pride and dignity. They did not resist and resignedly flew into the spatial rift.
Of course, there were a few who wanted to resist, but before they could act, the undead beings had already captured them. It was very easy to apprehend those who still held weapons.
Soon, many divine race members entered the spatial rift. Zhao Hai closed the rift and then waved his hand, enveloping the collapsed mountain in a massive cloud of black mist.
The black mist grew thicker and thicker until it completely shrouded the mountain. After completing this, Zhao Hai turned to observe the vassal race's army that was slowly gathering not far away.
When the mountain collapsed, debris flew everywhere, and the scene was so terrifying that the people scattered in fear. It was only after everything calmed down that they slowly regrouped.
At that moment, Xiao Bingya and the others arrived at the darkness king, bowing slightly to Zhao Hai and saying, "Greetings, sir."
Zhao Hai looked at them and nodded, "Good work this time, but you need to inform these people to leave quickly. I believe it won't be long before seven Elder Supremes from the divine race arrive."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bingya was slightly taken aback, then his expression changed as he replied, "Yes, sir. Please rest assured, we will leave immediately." With that, he flew back toward the vassal race.
Zhao Hai turned to Laura, smiling slightly, "Now that they have left, let’s stay there for a while." As he spoke, he pointed to the mountain enveloped in black mist.
Laura smiled and said, "Sure, let’s go." Zhao Hai then directed the darkness king into the black mist and did not come out.
If others were to see the current situation inside the black mist, they would definitely be shocked. From the fallen mountain, divine race members were crawling out, but they could no longer be considered human; they had become undead beings.
The reason Zhao Hai covered these mountains was to use magic to transform the buried divine race individuals into undead beings, thus increasing his undead army.
Once inside the black mist, Zhao Hai immediately activated the monitor to check on what the Elder Supremes from the divine race were doing. They were nearly at the Taurus Continent, and their expressions were grim because they knew they had been outmaneuvered by Zhao Hai.
After more than two hours, the Elder Supremes arrived at the Taurus Continent and saw the mountain shrouded in black mist.
Upon seeing this, their expressions turned sour. After a while, Dingxing said, "It seems we arrived late."
Jin Ben's eyes burned with anger as he looked at the black mist, saying, "This is dark magic. That Zhao Hai is truly vicious."
