The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 116 - Chapter 116: Chapter 115, Weaving the Net_1

Chapter 116: Chapter 115, Weaving the Net_1

In front of the staircase, a not-so-short mound of bodies was piled up again.

At the very top were the giant spiders and a large number of small spiders that were killed today.

Here, the ‘small’ ones were just smaller compared to the giant spiders, their sizes were actually as big as a basketball or a washbasin.

In addition to the spider corpses, there were also zombies killed nearby by the ‘Big Head Skeleton’ and bodies from the insect cocoons.

Wu Heng’s gaze fell on the body of the giant spider.

Just as he was about to release the Bone Manipulation Skill, his hand suddenly froze in mid-air.

Remembering something, he took out the ‘Book of Necromancy’ from his Space Ring and quickly flipped through it.

It seemed that when he was reading the Book of Necromancy before, he saw some descriptions about spider transformations.

He flipped through a few pages and found the introduction.

It even came with illustrations.

Two types were listed in the book.

One was spiders, including giant spiders, wolf spiders, and poisonous spiders that still maintained their spider forms.

These spiders, with their invertebrate bodies, could not be transformed into a skeleton troop.

So, the Bone Manipulation Skill could not be used on them. Even if it was used, the body would dissolve completely and could not be properly transformed into a soldier.

This type could only be transformed into ‘carrion’.

The second type of spiders were ‘half-spider man’ and ‘spider-transformation elf’; two races that could transform their bodies between human and spider forms.

The spider-transformation elf had a human upper body and a spider lower body.

The body structure of these two was not that of spiders, they had skeletons inside, and could undergo transformation through the Bone Manipulation Skill.

The book even included dissection diagrams of their internal structure.

Of course, they were all hand-drawn.

As for the second category, Wu Heng only roughly looked at it. Those strange and bizarre races were not something he would come in contact with. The main ones were the spiders in front of him.

Spiders contain no bones?

He was not aware of that.

“Drag that spider out,” Wu Heng pointed to a spider.

Basen grabbed a leg and dragged it out, throwing it aside.

Wu Heng cast the Bone Manipulation Skill. The necromancy magic engulfed the corpse.

The flesh began to peel off, and under his gaze, the whole body gradually dissolved and disappeared.

Only eight shell-like legs were left standing on the ground.

The transformation was not completed.

“Damn, it really doesn’t work.”

It seemed that these spiders could only be transformed into carrion.

Both carrion and skeletons belong to the category of necromancy servants, but their practical effects were actually somewhat different.

Wu Heng, in fact, was not very willing to transform them into carrion.

Having a group of decaying bodies nearby would also have an impact on the environment and his mood.

It could even give rise to diseases.

He himself was still human after all.

But without being able to transform them into skeletons, there was no other way.

They couldn’t just be thrown away, so he decided to transform them first to see what would happen.

He ordered the skeletons to drag all the spiders out.

Wu Heng cast the Corpse Manipulation Skill on the giant spider, the necromancy magic engulfed the body.

“The summoned entity exceeds the caster’s capabilities, instability factors increasing … ”

The unstable prompt appeared, proving that the level of the corpse was above level 5.

Given how it had fought against the 8th squad, its level couldn’t possibly be low.

Soon, changes started happening to the corpse.

The deadly wounds began to scab over, but there were still many outwardly turned wounds.

Then, the body wobbled as it stood up, and the six eyes on its head opened wide at once, looking around.

“Carrion Giant Spider Mother (Level 11)”

Level 11, not too low.

He continued to check the attributes.

“Level: 11”

“Attributes: Constitution 26, Strength 24, Agility 29, Intelligence 8, Perception 15, Charm 5.

[Properties: Decayed Servant, Intermediate Soul, Spider Web Sensing, Spider Walking.]

[Abilities: Biting, Movements like a Sharp Sword, Spider Webs, Web-Making.]

[Spider Web Sensing]: When in contact with a spider web, the spider can accurately locate the target’s position.

[Spider Walking]: This unit can climb on difficult terrains, including vertical walls and hanging from ceilings.

[Spider Web Movement]: It can move normally on a spider web, ignoring the restrictive effects of the web.

[Biting]: It inflicts damage on the target by biting and adds venom.

[Movements like a Sharp Sword]: Its step feet are covered in sturdy armor, causing piercing damage to the target.

[Spraying Spider Webs]: It attacks a single target at a maximum distance of 150, causing a spider web bind and restricting movement.

[Web-Making]: It creates spider silk and weaves a huge trap within a certain range.

After turning into a carrion.

It seems that most of its abilities have been retained.

The characteristic of [Spider Web Sensing] is probably the reason they were found.

It can find enemies through the touch of a spider web.

This is a good defensive method.

Among the abilities, [Biting] and [Movements like a Sharp Sword] are innate attack methods. [Spraying Spider Webs] should be a kind of remote control.

The sprayed out spider web wraps up the enemy and affects their movement.

[Web-Making] produces spider silk and weaves a trap with it.

There’s no problem with a spider having this ability.

But the transformation into the carrion indicates that the spider itself is already dead. It’s just a false life created by necromancy that controls the body.

So how is the spider silk produced?

I don’t understand.

“From now on, you will be called Spider Mother,” Wu Heng said.

Then, Wu Heng used his skill to transform all the other spider corpses into carrion.

A dense layer, there were probably more than two hundred of them.

The attributes of the smaller spiders were somewhat lower.

[Carrion Giant Spider (Level 3)]

[Attributes: Constitution 12, Strength 14, Agility 16, Intelligence 2, Perception 11, Charisma 2.]

[Properties: Decayed Servant, Basic Soul, Spider Walking.]

[Abilities: Biting, Web-Making.]

After the small spiders stood up, they quickly gathered around the ‘Spider Mother’ and all settled on its back.

When the eyes were closed, it was pitch-black and hard to tell the number.

“Stand by to the side,” Wu Heng said.

The Spider Mother, carrying a large number of small spiders, moved to a flower bed on the side.

The body crouched down and started moving quickly.

More than half of its body was half buried in the soil.

Surrounded by untrimmed weeds, it camouflaged quite well.

After dealing with the spider business, Wu Heng ordered the skeletons to open all the cocoons on the side.

After the cocoons were cut open, there were human corpses and beastmen within them.

It was a bit like opening a mystery box.

He triggered [Dead Bones Battlefield], and the zombies and dead bodies in the cocoons transformed into skeletons and stood up.

Among them, a few were beastmen warriors. They were tall, but their levels were not high.

They were all between level 3 and 4, without even a basic soul.

But the basic attributes of strength and constitution were higher than those of human skeletons.

That’s a racial characteristic, I suppose.

…

After transforming the corpses.

Wu Heng left the neighborhood and contacted Li Yahong via the intercom.

Soon, Li Yahong came out of the auto repair shop.

“Any news recently?” Wu Heng asked.

Without being able to stay in this world for a long time, he could only get some information through Li Yahong.

“There’s no news from the radio, the prison side has also stopped responding and has started to keep silent,” Li Yahong thought for a moment then continued, “Oh yes, there’s news about a Mutated Zombie, a level two Mutated Zombie.”
