It turned out that after the little skeleton woke up, it only took five minutes to catch up with Zuo Ming's guidance and imitate the exact same trajectory as when Zuo Ming guided the energy.

Five more minutes passed, and the little skeleton's energy channeling speed had completely surpassed Zuo Ming's.

After another ten minutes, the little skeleton had figured out the principle of energy conversion and created a faster method with a higher energy conversion efficiency.

Half an hour later, Zuo Ming, who had been following the little skeleton's guidance on the energy conversion route, could no longer understand what the little skeleton was doing. But it was clear that the little skeleton's method was far superior to his previous conversion methods.

Therefore, Zuo Ming asked this question.

In fact, not only Yun Xinghe, but even Qiu Si, who wasn't particularly observant, could see that the little skeleton sitting in the ice block exuded a sense of contentment and ease. This was a stark contrast to its disheveled state when it entered the ice.

Xiao Shi regained consciousness and returned to Jiang Hao's side.

Just as the little skeleton had said, the withered bone from the ancient god's finger was removed from the ice by the little skeleton, and soon after, it turned into ashes, which scattered and drifted in the air with the wind.

The skeletal monsters within the summoning space instantly became incredibly ferocious as the ancient god's finger bones dissipated. The countless white bones on the ground also seemed to come alive, piecing together in groups of several or even dozens, forming bizarre and grotesque skeletal monsters.

Their entire skeletons were bent and twisted at an angle that no normal creature could possibly do. They pounced on the little skeleton's summons, on Jiang Hao and his companions, on the previous skeleton monsters, and even tens of thousands of skeleton monsters were rushing towards the little skeleton in the ice.

The bones on the thick, white ground, piled up like the sands of the Ganges, as vast as the stars in the sky, were like toys abandoned by the gods, which were now casually picked up and molded into all sorts of skeletal monsters.

Regardless of the opponent's strength, they act like fearless mad dogs, revealing a terrifying bloodlust.

They weren't particularly strong, but their madness and hysteria were enough to terrify Jiang Hao and his companions.

Through his mustard seed perception, Jiang Hao could sense that there were countless trillions of these skeleton monsters, randomly composed of white bones, throughout the entire summoning space.

Jiang Hao's face turned deathly pale instantly.

The entire summoning space was now surrounded by these skeleton monsters. They swarmed towards the little skeleton's summoned creatures, instantly engulfing the gold, dark gold, and diamond-level summons. Even though most epic-level summons managed to escape their encirclement, they could only hide in the distance where there were fewer skeleton monsters, relying on their speed to dodge the leaping skeletons from all sides.

They didn't even have a chance to fight back.

Beneath the pile of bones, there were still more bones.

The bones continued to twist and shift, forming new skeletal monsters...

Jiang Hao and the others ran into Xiao Shi's mouth early in the morning, and Xiao Shi carried them to a high place.

The sky was now filled with skeleton monsters, though their numbers were significantly fewer compared to the ground. Combined with Little Shit's speed advantage, the skeleton monsters couldn't do anything to them for the time being.

The tens of thousands of skeleton monsters that wanted to pounce on the little skeleton, when they entered within a hundred meters of the little skeleton, were as if they had encountered the hottest flame in the world. Their bones turned grayish-white instantly, and they lost all vitality. As they walked mechanically, pieces of ashes fell and covered the ground with a long trail of ash.

The skeleton monsters in front disappeared, but tens of thousands of skeleton monsters had already formed behind them. They rushed towards the little skeleton along the previous route, but after entering the little skeleton's vicinity of a hundred meters, they, like the previous skeleton monsters, turned into a thick pile of dust on the ground.

Like ocean waves, they crashed against the small, rock-hard skull, wave after wave.

The situation is relatively good for the little skeleton, but its summoned army has been completely suppressed by the skeleton monsters in the summoning space. Without their obstruction, large numbers of skeleton monsters are surging into the No. 1 Realm through the breach in the boundary barrier.

I wonder if the combined forces of the five tribes can withstand them.

Jiang Hao knew that the summoning space, according to the little skeleton, was currently undergoing a transition between the old and new Netherworld Kings. The previous Netherworld King—the withered bone of an ancient god—had already vanished into nothingness, and his subordinates, now unrestrained, had become so twisted and insane. The new Netherworld King—the little skeleton—was simply sitting on the throne, converting energy, seemingly unaware of the earth-shattering upheaval in the Netherworld.

From the breach in the boundary barrier came the deafening roar of human energy crystal shells exploding. The shells fired in a continuous line, without any gaps in between. Jiang Hao could imagine the immense pressure those escaped skeletal monsters had exerted on the five races' armies.

They no longer cared that continuous firing would cause irreversible damage to the warships.

Jiang Hao was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. The overwhelming horde of skeleton monsters was something neither he nor any few others could withstand. Of course, nearly two thousand human warships certainly couldn't stop them either. Jiang Hao could only place all his hopes on the little skeleton; "I hope it can wake up quickly and control these skeleton monsters."

After Jiang Hao finished praying in his heart, the little skeleton actually reacted.

Although the little skeleton remained seated, Jiang Hao could see, through his mustard seed perception, extremely fine, ghostly blue threads drifting out from the soul fire within its head. One of these blue threads, moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye, plunged into the soul fire of a skeletal monster's head, instantly stopping the monster's throbbing.

It stood motionless, as if frozen in place. Then it turned to face the little skeleton, and then... knelt down.

Jiang Hao couldn't understand it at all.

What kind of skill is this? It feels so much like a soul link.

But Little Skeleton doesn't seem to have this skill, does he?

Jiang Hao was a little curious, so he opened the little skeleton's attribute panel.

Then... Jiang Hao saw nothing.

Yes, as Jiang Hao's summoned creature, Jiang Hao has the authority to see its attribute panel, including various attribute values, skills, talents, and so on.

But now, as his summoned creature, when Jiang Hao opened the little skeleton's attribute panel, all he saw were three red question marks, whether it was strength, agility, intelligence, or name, skills, and talents!
