Chapter 339: Soul Toxin

There was an old saying: when there are too many lice, one stops itching; when there are too many debts, one stops worrying.

Several days later, as Zhou Ming looked at the Cave Spider Men city before him, he found himself thinking the same thing.

Spider Queen Iliss had already been completely offended, so there was naturally no need to worry about offending her one more time.

With the Large Dimensional Rift present, even if he slaughtered the previous three Transcendent-level Cave Spider Men, Spider Queen Iliss could still continue sending Transcendent Experts to descend upon Blue Star.

Since the hidden danger existed, it naturally had to be cleaned up thoroughly.

He had no ability to resolve the Large Dimensional Rift itself.

However, as long as he turned this place into a forbidden land where even Transcendent Experts would die upon descending, Zhou Ming did not believe Spider Queen Iliss would continuously send Transcendent Experts here.

Even for an Epic Demigod, nurturing Transcendent Experts was not an easy matter.

“Perfect. This place can serve as a testing ground.”

Looking at the city before him, along with the Cave Spider Men and other races living within the cavern, Zhou Ming calmly left behind a single sentence.

The next moment, sinister purple poison mist spewed from his mouth, spreading outward like clouds and fog in every direction.

The purple poison mist poured forth endlessly.

Zhou Ming paid no attention whatsoever to whether the toxins nurtured by the Venomous Gall would eventually be completely exhausted.

Within the dim environment, the purple poison mist gradually merged into the surroundings and began cleansing every living creature within the cavern.

Around the city established by the Cave Spider Men were several mines of varying scales.

These were mineral veins discovered by the Cave Spider Men within the cavern.

The short Green Skins, under the whipping of Cave Spider Men warriors, were slowly excavating the ores buried underground.

In order to obtain the mineral resources nurtured within the cavern, the Cave Spider Men had enslaved tens of thousands of Green Skin slaves.

Although they lacked Blue Star’s mining machines, these tens of thousands of Green Skin slaves were even more useful than mining equipment.

There was no need to worry about the death of the Green Skin slaves, because Tamu World’s underground realm never lacked Green Skin slaves.

Nor was there any need to worry about food consumption.

Relying merely on weeds and tree bark within the cavern was enough to keep these Green Skin slaves alive.

The Cave Spider Men merely needed to dispatch some overseers armed with barbed whips.

As the poison mist spread, the first to succumb were naturally these weak Green Skin slaves.

One Green Skin slave carrying ore suddenly collapsed.

The nearby Cave Spider Men warrior immediately cursed and lashed out with his whip.

After several strikes landed, the fallen Green Skin slave still showed no response whatsoever, despite several torn wounds already appearing on its body. ŘἁNȎ₿Ëꞩ

The Cave Spider Men warrior assumed the Green Skin slave had already been whipped to death by him and directly ordered the surrounding Green Skin slaves to carry away the corpse.

However, before the other Green Skin slaves could move, massive numbers of Green Skin slaves suddenly collapsed like harvested wheat.

Dark-red blood continuously sprayed from their mouths, while a foul stench spread throughout the air.

Only then did the Cave Spider Men realize something was wrong.

Yet before they could react, many Cave Spider Men warriors also sensed abnormalities within their own bodies.

Dark-red blood began uncontrollably flowing from the corners of their mouths as well.

And scenes like this were simultaneously unfolding throughout every part of the cavern.

Before long, the situation spread like a chain reaction.

Large numbers of Green Skin slaves and Cave Spider Men continuously collapsed, transforming into pools of bloody pus as they died.

Among them, some Professional-rank Cave Spider Men who noticed the abnormality activated the city’s defensive methods.

However, they merely delayed death slightly.

Only by hiding within Spider Queen Iliss’s Divine Statue Hall did they have any chance of survival.

Unfortunately, the space within the Divine Statue Hall was limited.

As a result, bloody slaughter began unfolding outside the hall itself.

This sudden disaster also attracted the attention of Spider Queen Iliss, causing raging fury to erupt within her heart.

However, her current state was even worse than that of a Land-Bound Spirit.

Her consciousness could not even leave the Divine Statue Hall.

She could only issue Divine Decrees within her Divine Kingdom, preparing to summon her race members to investigate this place.

Yet Zhou Ming naturally would not give her time to react.

At this moment, one material after another appeared before him like a magic trick.

These materials varied wildly in nature, among which were many terrifying poisonous substances capable of making one recoil in fear.

Yet Zhou Ming displayed no hesitation whatsoever, cold light flickering within his eyes.

Treating the cavern itself as an enormous container, he fused various poisons and materials together through special methods, catalyzing them before integrating them into the poison mist he had released.

At this moment, Zhou Ming no longer cared whether the toxins could still remain under his control.

The only thing he needed to do was transform this place into a forbidden land.

But even that was far from enough.

After massive numbers of Green Skin slaves and Cave Spider Men died, Zhou Ming began setting up one undead ritual after another.

He himself did not possess much research regarding spirit entities.

However, the master of the Secret Realm Tower had left behind abundant research knowledge.

All he needed to do was fuse souls, resentment, and the toxins he had created together, turning this cavern into a deadly zone where even Transcendent Experts could not survive for long.

He did not need to destroy the Large Dimensional Rift itself.

As long as this place became an uninhabitable forbidden land, then for the foreseeable future he would no longer need to worry about interference from either the Cave Spider Men or Spider Queen Iliss.

Creation was difficult.

But destruction was simple.

Since Zhou Ming’s goal was purely to destroy this cavern, all hesitation and concerns completely vanished.

Methods he previously did not dare use could now all be experimented with here.

After Zhou Ming finished employing all his methods, the Cave Spider Men cavern finally began undergoing strange changes.

The poison mist that filled every corner began fusing together with souls, resentment, and the countless corpses filling the cavern, resulting in unknown transformations.

Gray mist filled with deathly stillness gradually began enveloping the entire cavern.

The moment Zhou Ming saw the gray mist, he instantly sensed an incomparably powerful aura of death.

His instincts issued frenzied warnings, like steel needles stabbing into the center of his brow.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Ming wasted no time whatsoever and immediately flew out of the cavern at top speed.

Only after confirming he was no longer in danger did he stop and turn around to observe.

“A transformation caused by the fusion of toxins and souls?”

Looking at the unknown changes caused by his reckless actions, Zhou Ming not only felt no concern whatsoever, but instead began contemplating the value hidden within them.

The Venomous Gall had originally been created through the fusion and modification of countless toxins.

After advancing into a Transcendent Master, it had smoothly evolved into a Transcendent organ.

However, after facing the Cave Spider Men Priest twice, Zhou Ming discovered that although the Venomous Gall possessed tremendous power, it no longer displayed the same overwhelming effectiveness it once had when he was merely a Professional Beast Tamer.

If toxins could corrode both spirit and soul, then he would truly gain a stable foothold among Transcendent Experts in the future.

Looking at the cavern that had now fallen into complete deathly silence, Zhou Ming immediately treated this place as his own outdoor experimental observation chamber.

It was perfect for gathering the data he required.

However, there was no rush.

He still needed to wait for some time until this unknown transformation fully took shape.

As for what he needed to do now, it was to return to camp, finish handling miscellaneous matters, and then peacefully remain there to perfect his own methods along with the many unfinished research projects.

As thoughts surged through his mind, Zhou Ming directly flew toward his camp.
