Austin was furious. Not long ago, when he went to the western lands to investigate the source of the anomaly, he was almost killed by the pyramid built by those zombies, making him no longer dare to approach the core areas like the pyramid closely and could only observe from a distance.

However, the more he probed, the more things he discovered that shocked Austin's heart and spirit. After spending several days, he couldn't even explore the extent of the anomalous land,

The vast area eroded by the strange green mist was simply too large. One could even say that the land to the west of the Dragon Nest Tribe had completely turned into a wasteland of apocalypse, a zone rampant with zombies, spreading outwards like a virus.

Despite experiments, Austin discovered that the zombie virus-like eerie power couldn't spread through the air. While it could spread through water flow, it was confined to surviving a period on the polluted, eroded wasteland before gradually zombifying. Living creatures outside the eroded wasteland would only be infected if bitten and injured by those zombie animals or beastmen.

But Austin also discovered that the eroded wasteland was gradually spreading outward!

Or rather, as the zombie creatures continued to move outward, the land was continually being eroded, gradually losing its vitality, turning into a wasteland of rampant decay.

It was certain that to resist the spread of the infected wasteland, one could only keep the zombified creatures outside, blocking their path, or completely annihilate all zombie creatures.

Although it's unknown exactly what the pyramid built by the zombies was or what was capable of such terrifying attacks, it was impossible for Austin to simply do nothing and move the entire Dragon Nest Tribe to escape.

At least the day he discovered the pyramid, Austin's body was already flying high in the air, several hundred miles into the wasteland region, where he found those things. For the Dragon Nest Tribe far away, such terrifying things weren't a threat for the moment.

Despite the grim prospects, Austin still decided to launch the Dragon Nest Beastmen to resist a few waves of attacks to test the situation.

The zombified creatures weren't frightening. At least from Austin's viewpoint, if a team equipped with neat Copper Armor and Spear in a Long Spear Array faced three to four times more zombified creatures of equal quality directly, they could still be victorious.

After zombification, a creature's strength indeed increased significantly, but they also lost the crucial intelligence. Austin's Dragon Nest Legion was not comparable to ordinary beastmen teams. After rigorous training, the tight-knit Dragon Nest Beastmen Long Spear Array was enough to render the opponent helpless. The foolishly charging zombie creatures ended only in easily being slaughtered.

Austin's Dragon Nest Legion wasn't like other tribes' beastman warriors. The scattered beastman zombies had no advantage other than sheer numbers against the Dragon Nest Legion. These Dragon Nest Beastmen soldiers, formed through tough training, were also Austin's greatest confidence.

To strengthen preparations, Austin decided to start a large expansion once again, deciding to promote all beastman militia of the Dragon Nest Tribe to formal soldiers.

With many troops joining, the primary problem to solve was weaponry and armor.

To obtain more weapons and increase the Dragon Nest Tribe's weapon production, Austin directly flew to the Copper Ore Base, intending to learn the situation at the Copper Mine Base.

This was why Austin made this journey to the Copper Mine Base.

However, what he didn't expect was that just halfway there, he sensed the intense aftermath of a Fighting Qi explosion in the distance.

From high in the sky, Austin saw the battle within the Copper Mine Base, looking like tiny soybeans several kilometers away. The battle's aftermath not only destroyed most of the earthen blast furnaces in the Copper Mine Base but also continuously injured beastman soldiers. A young Jackal Wolf person with Ancestral Bloodline, whom he once cared about, was now teetering under the fierce attack of the enemy, about to fall to his death.

In such a situation, Austin couldn't endure any longer and immediately launched a modified version of the Thunder Roar Cannon, which shot out fiercely, traversing miles of the sky, instantly piercing a hole in the shoulder of the over three-meter-tall golden lion beastman.

Thanks to the magic-modified development of the Navy Six Techniques, Austin began pondering changes to his attack methods during his free time. Using the "Chidori" from "Naruto" as a blueprint, he relied on his natural control over Thunder to gather powerful Thunder Power in his mouth, condensing it extremely to form a laser beam the size of a bowl, instantly shooting out. Even over a distance of several miles, it still held terrifying power.

If it weren't for the golden lion beastman's natural, keen Sixth Sense saving him, his head would have been blown to pieces by now.

Boom!!!

Under the heavy mountain-like dark clouds, a gigantic Blue Dragon descended from the sky, thunder and lightning flickering all around, its blinding radiance tearing through the sky, as if bringing judgment to the world.

Golden Lion Shiji held his shoulder and looked up at the sky viciously. Ancient and solemn pressure descended with the gusty airflow, sweeping across heaven and earth, making it feel like a mountain was pressing down on his entire shoulder.

"Dragon! A dragon!"

Currently, Austin hadn't crossed the threshold of the quasi-Golden boundary, so his cultivation tier was somewhat inferior to Golden Lion Shiji's.

However, Austin belonged to the Giant Dragon Species, inherently standing atop with his top-level Legendary Bloodline!

Two years ago, when he was weak, Austin barely survived by relying on ordinary prey, even gnawing on dirt and eating bark to grow. Due to only absorbing magic power from the air and not devouring enough magic resources as a young dragon, his growth was far behind an average young dragon, and his strength was extremely poor. He only awakened a useless Talent Magic of Electric Shock Paralysis, incapable of dealing with even a first or second-tier pack of magic beast Blood Wolves, considered a failure among young dragons.

But during this period, Austin never abandoned using Electric Shock Paralysis to stimulate and train his body. After starting to manage the Clan Tribe, with the Dragon Nest Tribe's growth, it began with an incomplete magic beast Crystal Core of a Ghost-headed Crocodile leader, then a Blood Wolf leader, and then the magic crystal inside the Spider Cave.

Later, as the Dragon Nest Tribe became extremely powerful, he ventured out to continuously hunt giant beasts and slaughtered wandering magic beasts to obtain magic beast Crystal Cores, also gathering magic-power-infused plants and fruits back. With unlimited magic resources, Austin's tier quickly rose from Bronze Level to the current quasi-Gold level.
