Chapter 311: Chapter 245: The Terrifying Power of the Three Corpses Nine Worms! Skill Book!
Amid the successive roars of the giant fly, parasitic creatures like bloodsucking worms and cilia worms crawled out one after another from within its body.
Quickly biting its body full of holes, fresh blood and sticky fluid were constantly gushing out.
Its enormous figure was panicking and rattling, trying desperately to shake off the parasites on its body.
Regrettably, these parasites had come ‘alive,’ continually swimming and gnawing inside its body.
As for Baker and others, they were beating the dying horse, continuously attacking the giant fly.
The giant fly wanted to resist, but the steadily declining strength and the rampant parasites within were leaving her incapable of exerting much power.
Eventually, during an assault, its massive figure fiercely smashed on the ground, drawing its last breath.
On the corpse, parasites were still squirming, gnawing at its hollow husk.
Baker and Shaydell swiftly used fire magic to incinerate these parasites, revealing the burnt body of the gigantic fly.
The surrounding giant flies, witnessing the demise of their hero, were filled with utter panic.
Some began to attack and bite frantically, while others turned and ran, soon disappearing into the black fog.
This epic battle still resulted in a victory for the human side.
But, unfortunately… the casualties were substantial!
Zheng Cheng could see that less than a hundred earth dragon knights were standing on the ground.
The number of griffon knights still capable of flying was even lesser!
“Zhang San! Take your men to clear the battlefield!”
“Yes, my lord!”
“Baker! Have the logistics’ giant eagle knights and the scouts continue to move forward and scout!”
“Yes, my lord!”
Under Zheng Cheng’s orders, everyone started to move again.
Niu Jindao and Yang Hou’er came once again to Zheng Cheng’s side, and respectfully said, “Greetings, my lord!”
“Stand up, both of you!”
Zheng Cheng said, “You both did well this time.”
“Thanks to your nurturing, my Lord!”
“Yang Hou’er, since the hero after your official roles possess flying abilities, henceforth, the leader of the Griffon Knights will be you.”
A glint of joy appeared in Yang Hou’er’s eyes, and he quickly said, “Thank you, my Lord!”
“For now, you take the griffon knights who can still move and scout ahead.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
“Niu Jindao, you and Zhang San each lead a team of Earth Dragon Knights.”
“Thank you, my Lord!”
After the two left, Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed, and he checked the specific attributes of these two after their official roles.

Zheng Cheng could not have imagined that Niu Jindao would become a magic swordsman; he had assumed Niu Jindao would become a war general like Zhang San.
Unexpectedly…
Despite Niu Jindao’s rough exterior, he harbors such a whimsical place in his heart.
As for Yang Hou’er, he came as a pleasant surprise.

Looking at Yang Hou’er’s specific attributes, Zheng Cheng is also very satisfied.
Especially with the final Dragon Power skill, despite being low-leveled, it has a powerful effect.
Does it resemble a ruler’s intimidating presence in its inferior form?
It’s no wonder it’s a sub-dragon with the Dragon Clan’s bloodline!
“My lord, should we move this giant fly’s carcass back?”
Saidial asked softly from the side, a look of disgust on her face.
The carcass of this giant fly is just too… disgusting.
“Wait a moment.”
Zheng Cheng stepped forward and swung down with his sword.
Random Dissection!
As expected, an earlier anticipated system prompt echoed in his mind.
[Skill failed!]
Shaking his head, it seems that the hero of the Mosquito Fly Tribe would just serve as nourishment for the homeland.
“Let them move it back. Just toss it next to the homeland crystal.”
“Yes! My lord…”
“Wait a minute!”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes suddenly lit up, stopping the soldiers who were about to move the giant fly’s corpse.
In the giant fly’s brain, a faint black light flickered.
“What is this…?”
He stepped forward and picked up the faint black radiance.
“A skill book?”
In his hand was a skill book flickering with a black light!
The exterior of this skill book resembled an ancient parchment scroll, with intricate patterns on the surface, vaguely forming a strange symbol of a flower.
[Skill Book: Plague Spread]

[Usage Limit: LV60; Constitution 110, Spirit 220; restricted to Priest, Witch Doctor, Poison Master, etc.]
“This…”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed. He had just one blank skill slot left.
“Plague Spread? It can only be learned at LV60? I wonder, I just wonder, what effects this skill will have once mutated?!”
