Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start

Chapter 489: Chapter 254: Demonic Queen Shows Her Power! (Two in One)_2

In this dense vegetation, countless creatures dwelled. Some were predators, fierce and cruel, hidden among the trees and shrubs, waiting for their prey to approach.

Poisonous plants were scattered on the ground and tree trunks. Their flowers and leaves were bright and beautiful, yet they hid deadly toxins.

The paths in the forest were winding and complex. The ground was covered with a thick layer of decayed leaves and weeds, and careless footsteps would produce rustling sounds, attracting the attention of hidden creatures.

In this Savage Ancient Forest, ambushes and traps were everywhere.

Slim vines, like nimble tentacles, quietly extended, waiting for prey to stumble.

Pits on the ground hid sharp spikes and bottomless traps. Anyone careless enough to fall in would be unable to extricate themselves.

Chen Mo initially planned to use the Divine Stealth Box to make everyone enter invisible mode and sneak past. However, as soon as they entered the forest, Heavenly Dao reminded him that this forest had been specially fortified, and invisible units would also be rendered visible upon entering.

Chen Mo thus refrained from activating the invisible state. He then tried to have his people destroy trees and push forward, but to no avail. The trees in this Savage Ancient Forest possessed a strange vitality, making them very difficult to destroy. Furthermore, any damaged sections instantly regrew.

Thus, they could only pass through normally.

In this perilous Savage Ancient Forest, every step had to be taken carefully, as deadly traps and ambushes could be hidden everywhere. Whether it was the Rebel Army, unfamiliar with this forest, or the Imperial Army, who knew it well, all had to tread cautiously, ready at any moment to confront the unknown threats within.

And those were only the dangers inherent to the Savage Ancient Forest itself. In such a prime environment, how could Nylia and Larseis resist causing trouble?

Within the Savage Ancient Forest, Nylia and Larseis dispatched carefully chosen subordinates to execute their plans. These subordinates not only hid many assassins in the forest but also set up numerous traps.

These individuals were proficient in ambush assassination tactics and trap placement, adding further mystery and danger to the already perilous Savage Ancient Forest.

Ambushers nestled between the trees, dressed in forest camouflage that allowed them to blend seamlessly into the environment.

They were highly trained and adept at using the forest’s terrain and vegetation for concealment, making their presence very difficult to detect.

They were positioned at key locations in the forest, poised to ambush and halt the advancing Rebel Army.

Traps appeared in various forms, both physical and magical, and were ubiquitous.

In the dense forest, trees, vines, and shrubs were all cleverly utilized.

Brutal Magic traps lay hidden in the grass, ready to trigger at a touch and release lethal Magic Power.

Some traps could cause substantial damage, as well as confuse, deplete, and weaken the enemy’s strength.

Some traps released fog or Illusions, causing those who passed through to lose their direction and wander into complex mazes.

Others were designed to affect their minds, plunging them into chaos.

Other traps were based on Magic Power and could trigger elemental attacks like Flame, Thunder, and Frost, ensnaring advancing forces in perilous assaults.

The Savage Ancient Forest was already notorious for its ancient, mysterious, and perilous nature; now, it had become even more treacherous due to the subordinates dispatched by Nylia and Larseis.

The forest was filled with hidden hostility, and every step needed to be taken with caution.

Only by overcoming the traps and ambushes set by these planners could the Rebel Army continue its advance toward the gates of the Imperial City.

In the dense woods of the Savage Ancient Forest, Demonic Queen Nylia had even used Demon Art to create an illusion avatar, secretly observing the advance of the allied Rebel and Imperial Armies.

Her gaze was filled with cunning and conspiracy.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Nylia signaled the assassins hidden in the forest to stand by.

She knew that this Savage Ancient Forest would be their best opportunity.

When the Rebel Army and Imperial Army entered the Savage Ancient Forest, they were already fully prepared and constantly alert to the dangerous atmosphere around them.

Chen Mo had even dispatched the Skeleton Monster ahead to scout the surroundings.

Normally, Chen Mo’s perception ability would have been sufficient, but the Savage Ancient Forest was somewhat special. Similar to the Array previously set by Essien, various detection abilities were rendered useless within it. Interestingly, the inspiration for Essien’s Dark Night Ultimate Formation had come from this very Savage Ancient Forest.

Thus, Chen Mo could only rely on the Skeleton Monster to detect nearby dangers.

However, even using the Skeleton Monster to scout ahead proved useless!

When the troops walked past an area the Skeleton Monster had just scouted, they suddenly encountered unexpected trouble!

The traps in the vicinity were actually Demon Art-triggered traps specially designed by Nylia; it made no difference even if scouts had passed through the area earlier.

Nylia deliberately refrained from triggering the traps when the Skeleton Monster passed by. Instead, she waited for the main army to arrive before directly using her Demon Art to manually activate all the traps simultaneously!

In an instant, a large area around the Rebel Army and Imperial Army erupted with brilliant light from the activated Magic traps, as if the punishments of hell had descended.

Explosion Magic Traps erupted in the air, spewing brilliant flames that reduced trees to ash in moments. A roaring fire blazed, engulfing the surroundings in crimson light and dense smoke. The deafening RUMBLE of explosions echoed through the forest.
