"Great Eye Demon, come out quickly! This young master has gathered some gold coins for you!"
In the desolate silence of the Undead Realm, Link couldn't contain his excitement as he called out the moment he appeared.
"What? In less than three days, my master has managed to collect 4,800 gold coins?" The Great Eye Demon fluttered its tiny wings and hurried over, astonished.
"Haha, a mere 4,800 gold coins is nothing!" Link grinned widely, and recalling the ransom from the Wolson family that was soon to be in his hands, he added, "I won't hesitate to tell you that if my plan goes smoothly, by this time tomorrow, I will have a full 10,000 gold coins, allowing me to upgrade the 'Great Tomb' to its highest level!"
"That's fantastic!" The Great Eye Demon flew around in excitement, showering Link with praise. "My master is truly remarkable! If we can maintain this pace of development, the great revival of our Undead Realm is just around the corner!"
"Enough chatter!" Link waved his hand impatiently, urging, "Get the Great Tomb built first!"
"As you wish, my master!" The Great Eye Demon nodded eagerly and snapped its fingers.
Clang, clang, clang...
With a series of light sounds, a total of 6,000 gold coins, looted from the Selhi family, suddenly rained down from the sky, landing directly in the Undead Realm below!
In the next moment, with a thunderous boom, one after another, old and eerie tombstones burst forth from the gray-black ground of the Undead Realm, soon forming a vast graveyard with a diameter of over a thousand miles!
"My master, this is your second sacred ground in the Undead Realm—the Great Tomb!" The Great Eye Demon explained at the right moment.
Link nodded in response. Having learned from previous experiences, he was not overly surprised this time; instead, he quietly awaited the magical feedback from the Undead Realm!
Sure enough, as the Great Tomb was completed, Link quickly felt a surge of pure magical energy flooding into his body!
As this magical energy poured in, he noticed that the magic core in his mind, which had previously been the size of a fingernail, had suddenly expanded to the size of a walnut, at least dozens of times larger than before, granting him an inexhaustible and immense source of magical power!
"Junior Summoner!"
Feeling the robust magical energy coursing through him, Link realized without the Great Eye Demon needing to explain that he had officially become a level 3 Junior Summoner!
Although he had jumped a significant level in one go, Link felt no discomfort, as if this powerful magic was inherently a part of his body. He quickly acclimated to his newly acquired strength!
At that moment, a series of loud bangs caught his attention. He instinctively looked down to see that from the newly constructed Great Tomb, over a dozen undead creatures, towering over two meters tall, with tattered bodies and greenish skin, had burst forth from the ground, howling madly at the sky!
"Roar..."
"My master, these are the first undead creatures born from the Great Tomb—'Zombies.' They can now assist you!" The Great Eye Demon said with delight.
"Is this what a 'Zombie' looks like?" Link murmured, then asked, "Great Eye Demon, what are the strengths of these 'Zombies'?"
"My master, 'Zombies' are second-tier summoned creatures, and their strength can rival that of level 1-3 junior warriors. They are far superior to the skeletons you previously summoned from the 'Burial Ground!'" The Great Eye Demon patiently explained. "These Zombies not only have tough skin and immense strength, but they also come with 'Toxic Corpse Qi.' While their Qi doesn't directly harm enemies, if your foes accidentally inhale too much during battle, their nerves will be paralyzed, their bodies corroded, and even their internal magic and fighting energy will rapidly deplete as they resist the corpse Qi—truly a silent killer!"
"That's impressive!" Link raised an eyebrow.
"Indeed!" The Great Eye Demon nodded and added, "Moreover, my master can now actively unleash the Zombies' innate magical ability—Toxic Corpse Qi!"
"Haha, excellent, very excellent!" Link rubbed his hands together in excitement!
It's worth noting that the Great Tomb in the Undead Realm is merely an "Initial Great Tomb!" Yet, the summoned initial undead creature, the "Zombie," already possesses such formidable power!
What kind of surprises would await him when he upgrades the "Initial Great Tomb" to intermediate or even advanced levels? What about the "Zombies" and "Undead Kings" that are a tier above the Zombies?
With these thoughts racing through his mind, Link could hardly contain his eagerness as he said, "Great Eye Demon, wait here for me. I'm going out to gather more money. By this time tomorrow, we must upgrade the Great Tomb to its highest level!"
"Very well, I shall await the good news from my master!" The Great Eye Demon replied with a smile!
