?50: Chapter 50: Retaking the Skeleton Cave 50: Chapter 50: Retaking the Skeleton Cave Having sufficient military power, even if the undead monsters held an advantage, was useless.

    In front of Zhou Tian’s endless waves of Beastman Warriors, how could these undead creatures hope to withstand their assault?

    In the early phase of the battle, the undead monsters merely between lightly and heavily injured.

    However, as the battle intensifies, and more and more Beastman Warriors rushed in, those undead monsters found it impossible to kill all the Beastman Warriors they encountered without taking damage themselves.

    Consequently, those undead monsters succumbed one after another under the clubs of the Beastman Warriors when their HP hit rock bottom.

    As more and more undead monsters fell under Zhou Tian’s Beastman Warriors, it signified that Zhou Tian’s control over the Skeleton Cave was steadily increasing.

    As his control increased, the pressure on his rear-guard lessened.

    Not only were there fewer undead monsters attacking from inside the Skeleton Cave, even idle Beastman Warriors in Zhou Tian’s command were being summoned to help fight off the high-level undead monsters.

    Finally, Zhou Tian, after enduring nearly a week of relentless battle and suffering many casualties, managed to clean up all the undead monsters residing in the Skeleton Cave, successfully regaining control over the second layer of Skeleton Cave.

    After reaching this point, it signifies that Zhou Tian’s first objective has been achieved.

    Presently, all Zhou Tian needs to do is to find a way to keep these undead monsters outside the entrance passage of the Skeleton Cave to prevent any crises inside the Skeleton Cave.

    However, the issue now lies in how Zhou Tian could easily block the monsters out of the Skeleton Cave.

    Zhou Tian had previously anticipated this outcome, and he already prepared his Beastman army to block the undead monsters outside the Skeleton Cave.

    However, Zhou Tian had severely underestimated the strength of those undead entities.

    Thus, Zhou Tian’s original arrangement seemed a bit too risky, given the enemies’ superior strength.

    “It will be disastrous if we can’t hold out,” Zhou Tian thought, understanding the threat of the undead monsters.

    Even for his Beastman Warriors, if careless, there is a real possibility of those undead monsters re-invading the Skeleton Cave.

    Should that happen, all of Zhou Tian’s efforts would be in vain.

    Facing such a scenario, Zhou Tian was unwilling to take that risk.

    However, Zhou Tian knew he didn’t have many choices.

    If he stays for a short period, he could effectively keep the undead monsters away from the Skeleton Cave, but if he does not return to the fight, he won’t have any further chances of strengthening his forces, and his soldiers will run out.

    The bleak likelihood of ending was then inevitable.

    Therefore, instead of staying stationary, Zhou Tian preferred to take the risk and left the defense of the Skeleton Cave to his subordinates.

    At worst, he would lose this territory of the Skeleton Cave, but as long as he could rapidly increase his strength, Zhou Tian was confident that one day he would be able to crush these seemingly formidable undead creatures underfoot.

    With his decision made, Zhou Tian acted swiftly.

    After leaving all the remaining Beastman Warriors in the second layer of the Skeleton Cave, Zhou Tian left with only a small portion of Beastman Warriors, leaving 99% of his remaining combat power in the Skeleton Cave.

    Zhou Tian laid several defense lines within the Skeleton Cave.

    The passage from the undead creatures’ lair to the Skeleton Cave was the first line of defense.

    The entrance from the first layer to the second layer was the second line of defense, and Zhou Tian also turned the entrance of the Skeleton Cave into the third line of defense.

    This way, as long as the three defense lines arranged by Zhou Tian were not breached, even if an accident occurs inside the Skeleton Cave, he believed he wouldn’t need to worry too much about the undead monsters reaching the core of his territory.

    After everything was prepared, Zhou Tian finally left.

    However, when Zhou Tian really left, he became anxious.

    Because just after he had resolved the issue in the Skeleton Cave, in the blink of an eye, he had to figure out a solution for another problem.

    In order to deal with the undead monsters, Zhou Tian had to increase the strength of his Beastman Clan.

    At that time, the method Zhou Tian thought of was to take control of some hotly contested territories.

    Currently, Zhou Tian was able to improve the strength of his Beastman Warriors using his advantage of occupying those territories, and he managed to barely regain the Skeleton Cave from the undead monsters.

    But Zhou Tian’s initial actions, their aftereffects start to manifest right now.

    Zhou Tian’s series of moves all carried considerable risks.

    In this situation, where a lot of trouble found him simultaneously, Zhou Tian took his life as a gamble to tackle these troubles.

    Now if any part of his plan goes wrong, it might lead to an onslaught of blows.

    Neither Zhou Tian nor his Beastman Warriors can hope to survive.

    Among Zhou Tian’s series of moves, the riskiest one was naturally the act of occupying part of the Beast Race’s territory.

    Zhou Tian’s activities in the Skeleton Cave looked risky, but if it ended in failure, Zhou Tian had a reasonable chance to retreat.

    According to the situation at that time, the worst case for Zhou Tian would be losing the Skeleton Cave.

    No different from the situation in the Skeleton Cave, Zhou Tian took control of those territories to deal with the undead monsters, but he was genuinely betting his life in this situation.

    Zhou Tian received a hefty reward just by taking over a small NPC village, demonstrating how fierce the battles between the monsters and NPCs had become.

    Just like the reward situation, Zhou Tian received a huge reward for taking over an NPC village, but if he loses a territory, he will undoubtedly face a deadly penalty.

    Zhou Tian’s initial plan relied on the fact that the NPCs would have difficulty occupying the monster’s territories and that they would not prepare for his actions.

    But no one could guarantee that there wouldn’t be any accidents, and if an accident happens causing something to be wrong with that piece of territory, then Zhou Tian would be held responsible and would not be easily forgiven.
