Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Large-Scale Fishing Operation

Thankfully, Fang Jie was an Undead Mage, and had already reached the Bronze level. If that weren’t the case, an ordinary person would have gotten sick from being here too long, afflicted with all kinds of diseases.

Although Fang Jie wouldn’t fall ill because of this, he still had an unpleasant feeling.

As a Human, there was an instinctive repulsion towards this environment, an innate desire to stay away.

"The swamp beneath here is too sticky; the strength and weight of the Skeletons aren’t suitable. If they go down, they won’t be a match for those corpses below," Fang Hao pointed and said.

However, during this time, Fang Hao had basically figured out the situation underground.

He knew which areas were shallow and which were deep, clear and certain.

Even the mode of combat, Fang Hao had prepared in advance. After all, Fang Jie had given him a great deal of autonomy. Otherwise, everything would have to wait for his own orders, and many things would be left undone.

In some shallower areas, the Skeletons had already moved in.

It wasn’t long before one rotten corpse after another crawled out, engaging in combat with the Skeletons. The corpses here were more fragile from soaking in the swamp for a long time, none possessing very strong defenses.

"How disgusting, these corpses are completely spoiled."

"Our Undead troops won’t be like that since they are specially made, not something rough and crude like these." Fang Hao said indifferently.

But was now the time to discuss this, Fang Jie thought, rolling his eyes. Surely, the Undead are just Undead; no matter how intelligent they are, without having been normal people, they can’t understand normal human senses.

At this moment, a great battle also broke out in areas where the water was deeper.

Fang Hao had left many Grave Guardian Demon Spiders here in advance, and now their eggs were beginning to hatch.

A massive cluster of little spiders emerged, swarming like a flood of crabs running amok. Anyone with a fear of clusters would likely feel their skin crawl uncontrollably at this sight.

Even Fang Jie felt his scalp tingle wave after wave.

The little spiders dived into the water and then fought against the corpses below.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary from the surface, but the water kept rippling. Considering how thick the fluid was, one could imagine the fierceness of the battle below.

"About time, let’s begin," Fang Hao said to the Grave Guardian Demon Spiders.

It turned out that the spiders were not intended to kill the corpses. After all, the spiders were too small and their combat power too weak. They primarily relied on toxins to fight, and even if they self-destructed, the main damage would be from the poison.

Unfortunately, this potent toxin was utterly useless against the rotten corpses in the swamp.

So the real purpose of these little spiders was not to kill but to lure all the corpses out.

Then, the Grave Guardian Demon Spiders spat out webs, creating huge net baskets. They didn’t need to rely on sight, just perception, and the help of the little spiders for sensing.

The spider webs were cast into the swamp. The liquid, highly corrosive to other items, had no effect on these webs. On the contrary, the spider silk became more resilient after soaking in the liquid.

With the help of the little spiders, the nets were easily entangled underwater.

Following that, the Grave Guardian Demon Spiders started to exert strength, pulling up the nets like fishing.

Inside were still a large number of moving corpses, occasionally shedding indistinguishable bits of rotten flesh or mud. The sight was utterly inhumane, making Fang Jie feel the urge to vomit.

But since his mouth was covered, he couldn’t perform such actions.

"I really, why did I come to such a place," Fang Jie regretted.

Had he known the battle would be like this, he wouldn’t have come to watch. After seeing this, he probably wouldn’t be able to eat for the next few days. Fang Jie shook his head, turning away to stop watching.

It was evident that the previous Island Master paid a lot of attention to this place, but did not value it highly.

The majority of the corpses here were low-level materials, most at the Apprentice level, even incomplete. Only a few could reach the Bronze level, with even fewer at the Black Iron level.

As for the Silver level, not one had been seen.

Therefore, they had no resistance against the web of the Grave Guardian Demon Spiders. They were scooped up one after another, like catching fish, and then the surrounding Skeletons swarmed in and completely slaughtered them.

This vast stretch of swamp took an entire day of busyness to clear just this one area.

Considering the years of accumulation in the Corpse Swamp, to fully clean it would probably need at least a month, if not even longer.

Fang Jie didn’t want to wait here for such a long time. With this time, wouldn’t it be better to study Spells, to play with foxes? Why would he stay with a bunch of rotten flesh for no reason—it was self-inflicted suffering.

"We’ve cleared this area. There are two Soul Crystal Veins below here, and one Yin Iron Ore Vein. Yin Iron is said to be one of the materials for crafting high-level Undead Equipment. It might be useful to us."

Fang Hao hadn’t randomly chosen this place.

He had pinpointed the most valuable area to begin clearance first.

Fang Hao knew that Fang Jie probably wouldn’t wait here for too long, so as long as he could develop the resources here and demonstrate their value, that would suffice.

Otherwise, with Quisha Island being so large, why would they develop this area first and not others?

"That so, then let’s construct a Mining Field to see. By the way, is there a Lord Mansion nearby?"

Without a Lord Mansion, the Mining Field couldn’t be constructed directly. At least, a Fortress needed to be built here first, then a Material Warehouse, before a Mining Field could truly be established.

"No, the Lords who came to this place didn’t give it up, they were all cleared out."

That Zombie showed such strong rejection towards other Lords, not tolerating any Lord that didn’t belong to him.

"However, I’ve already built a Fortress here, so we can start building a Mining Field right away."

Fang Hao indeed had everything well-organized; this long period of learning and development wasn’t in vain. The nearby Fortress, being just a transit point, was inconspicuous, and Fang Jie hadn’t noticed it until now.

But with this, the construction could proceed in an orderly fashion.

What Fang Jie hadn’t expected was that the fluid was too sticky, which made it difficult for the Skeleton Labor to work underwater, so the building process was more than ten times slower than in other places.

Fang Jie had to wait until noon, only then was the construction finally completed. And that had been from night until now.
