Chapter 41

Zhou Tian was not afraid of those undead monsters. If he were to focus on blocking them at the second level of the Skeleton Cave, he was confident that in a few years, those undead monsters would not be able to step onto the first level of the Skeleton Cave. However, if Zhou Tian were to do so, he would naturally have to devote all his energy to this matter.

Zhou Tian clearly could not keep his energy focused on such a fruitless task. Therefore, after learning about those undead monsters, the method he thought of was to seal them and then take revenge when his strength was sufficient. However, from the current situation, Zhou Tian found that his idea of sealing those undead monsters seemed to be very difficult to achieve. Based on the performance of those undead monsters, if Zhou Tian did not come up with another plan, his future development path would likely face the biggest variable.

"What should I do?" Seeing the situation, even Zhou Tian lost his composure. After all, although Zhou Tian was much smarter than those monsters, before becoming a monster in this world, he was just an ordinary otaku. In terms of appearance, birth, and ability, Zhou Tian was actually quite average. Therefore, while he could use some simple strategies to gain benefits among the monsters, when faced with real difficulties, his abilities were completely inadequate to deal with them.

As a result, unable to think of a solution, and seeing those undead monsters preparing to attack again, Zhou Tian had no choice but to put aside other thoughts and focus on how to resist those undead monsters.

"If only I had some sealing artifacts." After sighing inwardly, Zhou Tian knew that such a thought was unrealistic. Given the rarity of sealing artifacts, the possibility of Zhou Tian obtaining one was almost non-existent. In this situation, facing the threat of those undead monsters, he seemed to have no choice but to fight them head-on.

Since he could not think of a solution, when facing the threat of those undead monsters, Zhou Tian could only fight them head-on.

However, fortunately, although fighting the undead monsters head-on was not in Zhou Tian's best interest, with the advantage of terrain, the half-orcs currently had the strength to hold off those undead monsters.

As a result, in a helpless situation, Zhou Tian, unable to think of a solution, could only order his half-orcs, "Keep holding them off! I will find a way to quickly enhance our strength. Once we are strong enough, we will settle accounts with these guys!" Although he knew that the ordinary half-orcs had no intelligence, Zhou Tian, due to his anger, could not help but explain to his subordinates. Then, perhaps because he was annoyed at not being able to think of a way to deal with those undead monsters, Zhou Tian soon left in a huff.

"At this moment, because we have not yet fully controlled the territory of the Skeleton Clan, the strength we should have gained from merging with the Skeleton Clan has not been fully realized. Once we completely digest the Skeleton Clan's forces, the strength of the beast slaves should reach levels 15 to 16. Although our half-orcs are still a bit weaker than those undead monsters, the gap is not too large." Although he could not think of a way to deal with those undead monsters at the moment, Zhou Tian did not give up on thinking of a strategy. After leaving the Skeleton Cave and making the necessary arrangements, Zhou Tian directly began to consider the strengths and weaknesses between his half-orcs and the undead monsters.

After a simple calculation of the strength of both sides, Zhou Tian felt relieved.

What Zhou Tian feared most was a completely disproportionate strength between the two sides. If that were the case, it would mean that he would have no resistance against those undead monsters, and no matter how hard he tried, his foundation would definitely be swallowed by the other side.

However, in the current situation, although Zhou Tian's strength was not as great as that of the undead monsters, as long as he worked hard, he could catch up. Therefore, Zhou Tian had the courage to fight them.

At least in Zhou Tian's view, those undead monsters were not that difficult to deal with. Apart from being a bit stronger, the undead monsters had many more weaknesses compared to ordinary monsters. If it were not for the current strength disparity, Zhou Tian could easily inflict heavy damage on those undead monsters even if he abandoned the Skeleton Cave.

Now, although Zhou Tian still adhered to his original decision to avoid a direct confrontation with the undead monsters before his strength caught up, while resisting them, he could not help but think of other plans.

Zhou Tian could not do nothing. Unlike fighting players and NPCs, if Zhou Tian were fighting NPCs and players, he would not care about the current losses. No matter how many of his half-orcs died, as long as they earned merit, the Blood Moon Sect leader would naturally replenish his forces. In such battles, as long as Zhou Tian did not lose, he would only become stronger. However, in battles with the undead monsters, any loss of strength was a loss. Even if the Blood Moon Sect leader and the Lord of the Netherworld were at odds, that could not be a reason for him to help Zhou Tian. Without earning merit, according to the unwritten rules among monsters, Zhou Tian's forces could not be replenished.

Therefore, if Zhou Tian took no other action, the half-orcs in his hands would definitely become fewer and fewer in the battles with the undead monsters. In the original situation where there was a strength disparity, if Zhou Tian took no action, he would definitely lose.

Thus, while Zhou Tian thought about how to deal with the undead monsters, there were two things he needed to solve first.

The first and most important thing was to find a way to replenish his forces. Since the casualties in the struggle with the undead monsters could not be replenished, he would have to find other ways to replenish his troops.

At the same time, Zhou Tian also considered the second thing: passive defense would never lead to victory. In this situation, while resisting the undead monsters, Zhou Tian naturally had to consider how to enhance his own strength. Although this was not an urgent matter, it needed to be put on the agenda before he digested the Skeleton Clan's forces.

When Zhou Tian really thought about the future development plan of his half-orcs, he found that there were so many things he needed to consider. Although he felt a headache facing these issues, he still had to lead his half-orcs to handle them one by one.
