?70: Chapter 70: Taking Advantage of a Crisis 70: Chapter 70: Taking Advantage of a Crisis “Ignorant fools!” After sending those BOSSes away, Zhou Tian couldn’t help but sneer to himself when thinking about their performances.

    All of these current situations were of course intentionally guided by Zhou Tian, making these arrangements took advantage of these short-sighted BOSSes.

    Even in the human world, facing such a situation crafted by Zhou Tian, a large number of people would fall into the trap.

    Therefore, it was not too much of a stretch to say that those manipulated by Zhou Tian were merely a group of monsters with low IQs.

    It’s hard for any living being to keep calm in the face of benefits.

    Under Zhou Tian’s intentional guidance, that outcome was already predicted by him.

    Of course, such a result was also due to the BOSSes not truly understanding the dangers of the undead creatures.

    Although the information they received suggested that Zhou Tian was badly hurt by the undead, those who didn’t experience it firsthand could not possibly have a clear understanding of the threats the undead posed.

    Ignorance breeds fearlessness.

    Not knowing the strength of the undead, the BOSSes knew they were facing a fierce battle.

    However, they never seriously considered what would happen if they couldn’t resist the undead.

    In their minds, there were no issues in resisting the undead attack. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    All they needed to consider was how to minimize their losses during the process.

    That’s why, in the eyes of these BOSSes, although having Zhou Tian assist was a good thing, it definitely was not worth sacrificing their territories.

    Therefore, the effect of Zhou Tian’s suggestion was to eliminate the hostility of those BOSSes towards him, but the possibility of him actually taking action was basically zero.

    In fact, things developed just as Zhou Tian had planned.

    After the BOSSes left Zhou Tian’s territory, because none of them were willing to carve out pieces of their own territory, naturally, the originally discussed issue was simply dropped.

    Under Zhou Tian’s cold observation, these BOSSes led their elite forces and engaged in combat with the undead.

    In fact, earlier, right after the Skeleton Cave had fallen, the monsters under the BOSSes had already started fighting with the undead outside the Skeleton Cave.

    However, either because the high level undead were not aware of the fall of the Skeleton Cave or they were too busy with other things, although the undead which rushed out from the Skeleton Cave performed exceptionally, their numbers were quite limited.

    But now, when the undead officially began their offense, the BOSSes immediately felt immense pressure.

    Previously, due to the small number of undead, the BOSSes had mistakenly estimated the strength of their enemies.

    However, when thousands of monsters, each almost on the same level as their small BOSSes, rushed out from the Skeleton Cave, naturally, it wasn’t as easy for them to resist as they thought it would be.

    What made matters worse was that despite the fact that the BOSSes underestimated the strength of the undead, they didn’t care much about terrains.

    As a result, while being wary of each other, they didn’t even manage to take over the entrance of the Skeleton Cave.

    This allowed the undead to fully showcase their power.

    Zhou Tian had to rely on people’s lives to resist those undead with the advantage of the terrain, and this was when the high-level undead couldn’t pass through the passage.

    Although it was because the Beastman Clan was limited in strength, it could still be seen from the previous battle how strong the undead were.

    Now, without any restrictions, the undead fighting against the monsters in the newbie area could fully exert their strength.

    How could these newbie monsters possibly be their match?

    Just a few hours into the battle, under the constant onslaught of the undead, the newbie monster alliance quickly began to retreat due to their inability to hold their positions.

    As territory after territory fell to the undead, those BOSSes, feeling their hearts ache, finally started to understand how terrifying their enemy was.

    It was only after suffering that the BOSSes understood the seriousness of the situation.

    While they were desperately resisting the undead, they dispatched messengers to contact Zhou Tian and the Puppet Maker.

    The matter in the newbie area could only be resolved by the monsters in the newbie area themselves.

    Even if the Blood Moon Lord and the Lord of Hades, who were backing the undead, were at odds, the Blood Moon Lord could not assist his vassal monsters in this matter.

    That’s because, over countless years, a set of rules had formed among the monsters.

    If these rules were not upheld, large forces would endlessly clash, leading to chaos within the Monster Camp.

    No matter what happens in the future, at least until the NPC is completely eliminated, those rules set by monsters behind closed doors are unlikely to change in the short term.

    Because of this, the newbie area monsters threatened by the undead could only rely on Zhou Tian and the Puppet Maker, who were also in the newbie area.

    Upon receiving the distress signals from the monsters, the Puppet Maker, although dissatisfied with their previous performances, eventually led her puppets into battle without hesitation, scolding them severely.

    After all, she was also a member under Blood Moon Lord’s banner.

    The only exception was Zhou Tian.

    After receiving the distress signals from the monsters, he took advantage and made his own demands right away.

    While Zhou Tian fancied adopting a strategy of benefiting from a tiger fight, he also knew that the undead were not easy to deal with.

    If he allowed them to grow stronger, he wouldn’t even talk about exploiting them, it would be good enough to simply avoid being annexed by them.

    Therefore, Zhou Tian had no intention of standing by from the beginning.

    However, when he took action, he wouldn’t do so without getting something out of it.

    His reputation was already down the drain, so he was not concerned about having more bad names added to his record.

    As long as there were benefits, he didn’t care if he were accused of exploiting the situation.

    As such, Zhou Tian agreed to deploy troops, but he asked each of the monster forces to designate a territory for him.

    The territory he asked for was not large, only equivalent to what he had previously given to the others.

    Additionally, Zhou Tian made an additional request: the territory designated to him shouldn’t touch the Skeleton Cave.

    Territories outside NPC cities weren’t acceptable either.

    Also, Zhou Tian demanded the other monsters to designate the territories first and then he would make his move.

    When these requests were made, the envoys sent by those BOSSes to Zhou Tian for help were enraged.
