Chapter 67: Undead Creatures Upgrade

Lara's subordinates gathered around her, almost all of them were injured. These were her most loyal subordinates, not from the Makidel family. Lara understood at a young age that the people assigned by the family were not entirely reliable, so over the years, she had been working hard to build her own forces. This matter was of great importance, so she had to bring her most loyal subordinates and some of the family's experts. However, now, most of the experts sent by the family were dead.

Lara originally wanted to send her subordinates to help, but seeing their condition, she held back. Her subordinates were almost completely unable to fight; going would be futile.

Zhao Hai had just brought the few undead mercenaries into the space when he heard the space's notification: "High-level mechanical objects detected entering the space. The program has adverse intentions towards the space. Reimplanting the program. Reimplantation successful. No toxins detected on the mechanical objects. Enhancing toxins to increase attack power. The new mechanical objects have advanced programs. Extracting the program and injecting it into the existing mechanical objects in the space to enhance them."

The notification was long, but Zhao Hai understood its meaning. He had indeed succeeded. The six undead mercenaries were indeed undead creatures, and upon entering the space, they were turned into allies. Moreover, these six undead mercenaries did not have the toxins like the swamp undead creatures, so the space enhanced their toxins, making their attacks even stronger. It then discovered that these six undead mercenaries were more advanced than the existing undead creatures in the space, so it upgraded the existing undead creatures based on their characteristics. In other words, all the undead creatures he had tamed were upgraded.

Before Zhao Hai could be happy, a green figure shot towards him, shouting from ten meters away, "Young Master."

Zhao Hai recognized it as Green's voice. Green was holding two black figures, who were the remaining two members of the undead mercenary group. Zhao Hai thought for a moment, and a spatial rift appeared again. Green casually threw the two undead mercenaries into the space, and the space's notification sounded again, but this time it only mentioned reimplanting the program and enhancing the toxins, without the other parts.

At this moment, all the undead creatures around Zhao Hai suddenly glowed. The light was faint and quick, and if Zhao Hai wasn't sitting on the alien, he wouldn't have noticed it.

When the light disappeared, Zhao Hai found that all the undead creatures had changed. Their green color became deeper, and they seemed more lively, with the red soul fire in their eyes burning more intensely.

The alien changed even more dramatically. Its entire body turned a dark green, with only a white spot on its head, which looked like a pattern. The pattern resembled an eye, but the eyeball inside was a more complex design. If you glanced at it, you might think it was a static pattern, but if you stared at it, it seemed to be moving, rotating, and trying to draw your soul in.

Moreover, the alien's body became larger. Originally ten meters long, it now measured about fifteen meters, and its height reached five meters. The changes in its chest were even more significant. Originally, it had ribs, but now it had a sealed space, with the ribs on both sides becoming like walls, seamless and transparent like green crystal, allowing Zhao Hai and the others to see outside easily.

The height of the alien's chest was now about two meters, allowing Zhao Hai and the others to stand and move around. The wooden boards that were originally inside were moved to the ground outside, and the space inside the chest was now completely made of dark green crystal-like bones. This space was two meters high, four meters long, and about three meters wide, with a round ceiling and a flat floor. The floor was covered with blankets that Zhao Hai had taken from the space.

The alien's neck also developed several bone plates. These bone plates were unique, not very large, with a small gap in the middle, allowing the alien to turn its head without hindrance. However, these bone plates could also form a corridor-like structure, leading directly to the alien's mouth. The alien's skull, like its chest, became semi-transparent, allowing a clear view of the outside. With its long mouth, it formed a space about three meters wide, five meters long, and over one meter high, where a person could sit and see outside. As long as the alien opened its mouth, Zhao Hai and the others could walk out.

The alien's back grew many new, menacing bone spines, which glowed green, indicating their formidable attack power. On its tail, each vertebra grew three spikes, pointing upwards, left, and right, further enhancing its killing power. Zhao Hai and Meg were stunned by the alien's transformation, never expecting it to change so dramatically, turning into a powerful tool for travel and combat.

Throughout the transformation, Zhao Hai and Meg felt no discomfort, even when the wooden boards were moved to the ground outside.

Standing on the alien's head, Merlin and Green were even more surprised. The alien's transformation completely exceeded their expectations, especially since they couldn't see Zhao Hai and Meg through the alien's skull, meaning the bones had become more like one-way glass.

After a while, Zhao Hai regained his composure and, with a thought, returned the other upgraded undead creatures to the space. He then called out to Green and Merlin, "Grandma Merlin, Grandpa Green, come in through the alien's mouth."

This space had two entrances, one at the front and one at the back. The front entrance was the alien's mouth, and the back entrance was behind the alien's chest, where a few ribs could be moved to exit the space.

However, Zhao Hai didn't want to exit from the back, as it felt inappropriate. He knew that the back of an animal was for excretion, and he didn't want to leave from there.

The space seemed to be well-sealed, with no wind, but also no feeling of stuffiness. Zhao Hai's voice was clearly heard by Green and Merlin, indicating good sound transmission.

Green and Merlin immediately jumped down from the alien's head and walked to its mouth. The alien opened its mouth, and Green and Merlin walked into the space where Zhao Hai was.

Upon entering the alien's chest, Green and Merlin were stunned. They hadn't expected the space to be like this, and the changes were too significant.

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to change like this either. After I brought the undead mercenaries into the space, it upgraded all the undead creatures, and then the alien transformed. This is better, as now Grandpa Green doesn't have to sit outside; he can see everything from here."

Green nodded and looked around the space, saying, "Although it's not very large, it allows us to see outside, which is good. By the way, Young Master, we should go see the Makidel family, right?"

Zhao Hai slapped his head and laughed, "In my excitement, I forgot about that. Alright, let's go see them." He then directed the alien to climb up the hill.

Lara and her group didn't know what had happened behind the hill. They only saw a green figure holding two black human-shaped objects disappear behind the hill, and then the undead creatures that had been helping them vanished.

Just as Lara was about to send someone to check, a crocodile skeleton crawled out from behind the hill.

Lara recognized the crocodile skeleton; it was the one the black mage had been riding, but it had changed significantly, looking even more menacing.

Although Lara hadn't closely examined the alien before, she clearly remembered that it didn't have the bone spines on its back and wasn't as large. However, she was certain that this undead creature belonged to the black mage, not the undead mercenary group, as she had never seen such an undead creature in the mercenary group. If such a creature existed, it would have been used in the attack on them.

Lara's subordinates also knew this, but they were still tense. The alien's appearance was truly terrifying, with dark green bones gleaming in the sunset, a nearly four-meter-long mouth with large fangs, and bone spines on its back, all indicating its formidable killing power. Its low, four-legged body had sharp claws, and they didn't doubt the destructive power of those nearly black, dark green claws.

The approach of such a monster was already intimidating, even without any additional actions, making people wary.

Lara's subordinates tightly surrounded her carriage, gripping their weapons tightly, their hearts racing.

Under their watchful eyes, the alien stopped five meters in front of them, then opened its mouth, causing another wave of tension among Lara's subordinates. However, they then saw Green walk out of the alien's mouth.
