Volume One: Hell-Level Lord World Chapter 113: Each Their Own Gains

Unlike Pan, who believed he had struck it rich and changed his course, Kbas was busy clearing the battlefield in the flooded area. More than an hour had passed since the flood struck.

The flood, conjured by Chen Gu, had completely vanished by now. No traces of water remained—not even on construction materials that had been swept far away. Kbas descended with his swarm of mosquitoes, which blanketed the area, searching meticulously for any living beings.

At this moment, one had to acknowledge the resilience of the undead. Despite the massive flood, some undead barely survived, struggling to crawl out from underground as the waters receded. It was precisely then that Kbas arrived.

Transformed into a swarm of mosquitoes, Kbas could accurately pinpoint each surviving undead. Once the enemies were locked on, Kbas’s burrowing insects would launch underground attacks, biting and killing every one of them.

Among those who survived, none belonged to the basic three classes of undead. Their vitality was insufficient; while they withstood the flood’s initial surge, the impact from the debris was devastating. One strike was enough to shatter them into pieces—none escaped.

However, vampires, with their stronger vitality, managed to endure somewhat. As for the bone dragons and death knights within the undead city, though capable of flight, their luck was abysmal. Before they could take off, the flood swept away their nests and encampments, smashing everything to ruins. The death knights were wiped out entirely, without a single survivor, while the bone dragons were all pulverized.

Kbas’s mosquito swarm, however, needed vampires. He still remembered the promise Chen Gu had made: once he found vampires, Chen Gu would help him synthesize the swarm, transforming it from ordinary creatures into demonic entities.

To ensure the success of this synthesis, Kbas worked diligently. While clearing the battlefield, he continuously gathered vampire-related materials, setting them aside carefully. Once amassed, he would send them to Chen Gu.

Seeing these deliveries, Chen Gu understood Kbas’s intent—to have him synthesize vampires into the mosquito swarm. At first, Chen Gu did not refuse.

In Chen Gu’s mind, though he led the main battle, everyone had contributed. After cleaning up the battlefield, he intended to reward the others. Enhancing everyone’s strength was the baseline; he even planned to find ways to provide these two heroes with military support.

As for Pan, Chen Gu had already decided that once the mission succeeded, he would create a crow farm for him—not a fiery crow farm this time, but one producing crows and scarecrows. Synthesizing a batch of nests would serve as reinforcements for Pan.

On Kbas’s side, the mosquito swarm definitely needed to be strengthened. Chen Gu also planned to explore whether he could synthesize other troops from the burrowing insects. He would inquire about Kbas’s troop needs and supply additional forces accordingly.

With his current troops, Kbas lacked confidence in battle. Reinforcements were essential. Perhaps leading a legion would allow Kbas to fully utilize his unique abilities.

As Chen Gu contemplated this, the emerald mother nest and emerald brain insects he had recently buried underground crawled out. Chen Gu pointed toward the undead city flattened by the flood.

“There are plenty of corpses inside. The flesh-and-blood zombies not eaten by the corpse-eating vines belong to you. Work hard to expand the emerald ant colony. In three hours, I want to see emerald ants that can work. Your first task is to clear this city and organize all materials. Even sizable stones—if I can use them—must be found and brought out.”

This emerald brain insect was not as ambitious as the one Chen Gu had first communicated with. Upon hearing the command, it immediately took control of the emerald ant nest to start producing worker ants.

For emerald ants, unlimited expansion was possible as long as there was sufficient flesh and blood. Chen Gu’s command was straightforward, so the brain insect quickly devised a new formula for the emerald ants.

Since Chen Gu needed heavy laborer ants, the brain insect adjusted the nest’s production accordingly. It specialized in producing a new type of worker ant with greater strength, faster movement, burrowing abilities, and the power to break through rocks. Their shells were reinforced, making them less likely to die under pressure.

These newly trained emerald worker ants were dark green in color.

Their strength was three hundred times that of normal emerald ants. A single emerald worker ant, the size of a regular ant, could carry a stone as large as a dictionary. In large groups, the weight they could lift multiplied exponentially.

Once deployed, these emerald worker ants significantly eased the workload of the corpse-eating vines. Of course, this also meant a sharp decrease in the flesh and blood available to the vines.

Soon, large numbers of emerald ants dragged crushed corpses and flesh back to their colony. These were swiftly fed to the ants, serving as nourishment for the new workers.

Meanwhile, more emerald worker ants emerged as the flesh was delivered, rushing toward the undead city.

At this time, the corpse-eating vines Chen Gu had dispatched returned, hauling various supplies and depositing them before him.

“You have obtained 33 gold coins…”

“You have obtained 7 bone fragments…”

“You have obtained 16 iron armor shards…”

“You have obtained…”

Each time a few corpse-eating vines appeared, this voice sounded in Chen Gu’s ears, forcing him to pause his work and sort through the scattered items.

Chen Gu longed for the magical tower’s construction to finish quickly so he could build a warehouse. Once the warehouse was ready, he could assign managers to receive and organize these materials, sparing him from handling every trivial matter.

However, the magical tower would take several more hours to complete. No matter how capable Chen Gu was, he could not hasten this process and had to manage these tasks himselfI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
