Chapter 67: Sodor is waiting
Sanu is dead.
When the giant dragon like a mountain turned into dust and dissipated, his restless soul also turned into rootless duckweed at the same time, disappearing into the dust like fallen leaves swept away by the autumn wind.
All that remained was a broken spear.
And that spear seemed to have foreshadowed the fate of the earth dragon clan.
An expression of despair appeared on the face of every lizardman.
It seemed that it was not only their arrogant chief who lost his soul, but even their own souls were taken away by the wind that blew away the dragon.
it's over.
The Earth Dragon Clan ceased to exist from then on.
From now on, there will be only one owner of the first floor of the Thunder City Underground Labyrinth——
That is the Demon King.
[Server Announcement: Congratulations to all players of "The First Skeleton Corps of the Great Cemetery"! A great victory in the encounter in Silverpine Forest! The national war rewards will be calculated later...]
A dark green pop-up window appeared in front of all the players, and cheers of victory echoed throughout the forest-covered river beach.
"Long live the Demon King!!!"
“Ahhhhh!!!”
"The spoils!! Divide the spoils!!! GKD!!!"
"Ohhh, one female lizard for each of you!"
"What the hell?! What do you want that for?!"
“It’s too strong!”
"What do you care! Can't I roast it and eat it?!"
"Your corpse can still eat tributes?!"
"vomit--!"
“…”
The noisy sounds were endless.
Unfortunately, only the players themselves or Luo Yan can understand the creaking sounds. To outsiders, it is just the noise made by the skeleton soldiers.
Otherwise, I don’t know what kind of fearful expressions those lizardmen would have.
“Too strong!!! Absolutely too strong!!”
Missy flew several circles in the sky excitedly, until the end she remembered that she seemed to have not exerted any strength at all. Her face suddenly changed and she hurriedly flew in the direction of the Demon King.
"Master Demon Lord! Are you not hurt?! Missy is here to help you heal!"
What she wanted to say was "help", but the battle on the ground was over and it seemed that her help was no longer needed.
The surviving lizardmen threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground, confessed their betrayal, and prayed for the Demon King's forgiveness.
Even the mighty dragon was defeated by the devil. There was no point in continuing to fight.
The drizzle made the woods that were burned by the fire filled with a layer of gauze-like fog, and the silent forest seemed to have regained its former vitality.
Shivering squirrels poked their heads out of the bushes, and hungry crows landed on dead branches scorched by the dragon's breath.
Luo Yan, riding on a crypt spider, waved to the players, ordered Youyou to cancel their conscription status, and updated the task of transporting the spoils.
Such a big noise is bound to attract the attention of nearby human villages and towns, so it is better to clean up the battlefield quickly.
At this time, Missy landed in front of him, crawled on the ground regardless of the mud and water on the ground, and greeted him in a stuttering voice.
"Master Demon King, are you okay?"
Looking at the little devil that landed in front of him, Luo Yan said in a casual tone.
"I am fine, and you?"
"Me, me, me too!" Missy was so nervous that she didn't dare to look up and said hesitantly.
"How shameful," Arakdo said in a sinister tone, looking down at her with a haughty expression, "You run away as soon as a fight breaks out. You are truly a little devil."
After defeating the dragon, Alacrt seemed to feel that he was back to normal.
But this guy is not wrong.
Among the many underground creatures, the basic morale of insect units is among the best. Even if the lords flee, their subordinates may not necessarily flee.
Luo Yan patted his mount's head, signaling him to shut up, then looked at the little guy who was so nervous that he was almost suffocating and said.
"If you're fine, get up. The floor is very dirty."
“Yes, yes!”
“…”
Luo Yan knew why this guy looked like he had made a mistake, but he didn't blame her for it.
We are just dealing with a group of rebels, there is no need to involve the vassal's troops as well.
His original plan was to let her watch from the side, and then bring back the news that the Demon King's army had defeated the Earth Dragon Clan with great force back to the Nightmare Land.
Although there were some unexpected things in the process, the result was no different.
Seeing that the devil had forgiven her, Missy finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly wiped the sweat mixed with rain.
As expected of the Demon King...
They didn't even take the legendary creature like the dragon seriously! But there was one thing she didn't understand. How did the group of lizards summon a monster of the dragon's level? And -
Why didn't the dragon leave even a corpse after its death?
She really wanted to taste dragon meat...
After sending Missy away, Luo Yan took out the mirror he carried with him from his pocket and checked his attribute panel.
It didn't matter that he just took a look. He was shocked when his eyes met the experience bar.
"Seven hundred thousand experience points?!"
【
ID: Luo Yan
Race: Human
Soul level: Steel (level cap LV50)
Level: LV.36 (+2)
Experience value: (17695/36W)
Constitution: 15 (+1)
Strength: 13 Agility: 13 Intelligence: 42 (+3)
Spirit: 42 (+2)
】
Wow! This wave of solo Dragon Spirit actually allowed him to level up twice! This must not only be due to the experience provided by Sanu, but also a considerable part from the unnamed dragon.
Luo Yan was excited and couldn't help but sigh.
If it weren't for Lint Isaac's natural disaster system that subdivided and quantified the strength levels of the fine steel level, he might not have realized the increase in strength, and even if he did realize it, he would have confused it with the blessing of the Dragon God.
After all, it is indeed not easy to distinguish.
Under normal circumstances, this tiny improvement in strength is difficult for people to notice immediately.
It’s like most people find it difficult to notice that they have grown one millimeter taller. Only when this number accumulates to half a centimeter or more will they suddenly realize the difference between today and yesterday.
Not only did the level grow, but Sanu's death also allowed the Earth Dragon Clan to transfer a considerable portion of the power of faith condensed by the Dragon God over this period of time to Luo Yan.
[Faith value: 96281 (+9w)]
[Daily growth: 3124 (+4)]
[Daily consumption: 1000]
"Ninety-seven thousand faith points... If I can save them up for another day or two, it will be enough for me to upgrade my soul level from fine steel to silver."
However, Luo Yan was not in a hurry to upgrade to silver so early.
His current level is far from reaching the upper limit of LV50. Even if he raises his soul level to silver, he will only have the strength of steel level.
After thinking for a long time, Luo Yan looked at the mount under him and spoke.
"Arakdo, do you want to become a bronze-level crypt spider?"
Arakdo was stunned for a moment, then spoke in surprise.
"Of course! Lord Demon... But, is this possible?!"
His strength has not changed for a long time.
Generally speaking, this means that the Black Iron level is the ceiling of his life... at least he has never heard of any way to change the level of the soul.
If there was, His Majesty Arachnos would not have always been bronze.
Looking at Arakdo's stunned expression, Luo Yan smiled faintly and spoke in an unquestionable voice.
"Under normal circumstances, this is impossible, but it is not a difficult task for this demon king. When we return to the demon king's territory, I will upgrade your soul to bronze... as a reward for your bravery."
Arakdo's expression was moved, his huge body trembled slightly, and he put his head on the ground.
"Arakdo is willing to die for the Demon King!"
Luo Yan patted his head.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"No need to be polite... In addition, use your spider silk to tie up the arms of the lizardmen captives and bring them back to the cemetery along with the spoils."
Alacdo: “Yes!!!”
After giving instructions on escorting the prisoners, Luo Yan jumped off Arakdo's back and went to the entrance of the maze that was flooded by the river.
Shadow Weaver's lair has been in the water for a while, hoping that Lady Arachnos is safe.
“Breaking out of the ground!”
Chanting a spell, Luo Yan swung the magic wand in his hand.
A gray-yellow light gushed out from the tip of the staff in his hand and hit the man-made aqueduct accurately.
The earth is shaking!
A huge rock pillar broke out of the ground!
As Luo Yan guided the magic wand in his hand, the huge rock was placed across the middle of the artificial canal, blocking the rushing river water.
This is not the end yet.
He continued to cast "Rockfall", "Mud" and "Fire Breath" to shape the simple dam and then dried and reinforced it.
The overflowing river water no longer continued to flow into the entrance of the maze, and the flooding of the maze was finally relieved.
"This entrance won't be used anyway, so let's just abandon it."
in addition.
After returning, Arachnos must be ordered to repair the drainage ditches and load-bearing structures of the illegal buildings in the maze.
While thinking this, Luo Yan raised the magic wand in his hand and cast another spell at the abandoned maze entrance.
“The sky is falling and the earth is splitting!”
The gray-yellow color struck the ground like lightning, and the originally flat land instantly broke into several pieces like broken biscuits!
"boom--!"
Large chunks of broken rock and soil fell into the entrance of the maze! Spider-web-like cracks spread all the way down the corridor of the maze, and finally disappeared into the darkness along with the boiling dust.
The rain wiped away the dust of the noise.
All that remained was a muddy and rocky beach and the entrance to the maze buried under mud and rubble.
After finishing all the work, Luo Yan turned around and saw that more than forty lizardman captives had their arms tied up with spider silk by Arakdo and were connected together.
On the other side, the players have already cleaned up the battlefield.
As professional looters, they didn't leave any garbage behind, and even packed up the corpses of the Lizardmen and took them away.
Looking at his spoils, Luo Yan showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Compared to the heavy losses suffered by the Earth Dragon Clan, the price paid by the Great Cemetery was only a few hundred worthless skeletons and more than a thousand points of faith.
Whether analyzing from a strategic or tactical perspective, this battle can be described as an epic victory!
"go home!"
Turning over and riding on Alacdo's back, Luo Yan shouted to the team, and then went to the front of the team first.
Before the nearby lord's scout cavalry arrived, the people of the cemetery had already disappeared into the rain-fog forest...
…
Deep in the first level of the maze, the intersection of the flood.
Standing in the turbulent water, Sodo was waiting motionlessly, waiting for the prey to fall into the net that he and the three hundred warriors of the Gray Fin Tribe had set up long ago.
However, as time passed, the rushing river water continued to pour into the maze, but the owner of the maze was nowhere to be seen.
Even though he was used to waiting, Sodo couldn't help but feel a little uneasy on his face.
Why hasn't he come yet? Is that guy lost?
But how is this possible!
The maze is the Demon King's home, how can you get lost in front of your own home?! Could it be that -
That guy ignored the familiar terrain and went directly to the river outside the maze even though he knew there was a possibility of an ambush?! This seemed even more impossible! The uneasy expression gradually turned into a solemn one, and Sodo's originally calm breathing also became shaky with the change of his mood.
Are the Earth Dragons a match for the Demon King's army? His intuition told him that the geckos wouldn't be so useless, but when he thought of the adamantium-level leader, he couldn't make up his mind.
Just at this moment, the water surging between his legs suddenly began to shake as if it had been hit by a club.
What followed was a tremor as severe as an earthquake!
Sodo was suddenly startled and looked back at the cave he came from.
Not only him, almost all the mermaid warriors looked over there at the same time, and a look of panic appeared on their faces surprisingly.
Water Source
Being intercepted? ! "Damn it!!! Follow me!"
Realizing what had happened, Sodo cursed loudly, and quickly returned along the original route with the 300 mermaid soldiers behind him, rushing towards the entrance of the maze by the river.
The flood disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the river water accumulated in the maze became shallower and shallower.
At first, the water was high enough to cover their thighs, but later on, the shallow puddles were only enough to cover their ankles! Finally—
When they were about to reach their destination, a desperate scene came into the eyes of every mermaid warrior.
I saw countless rubble and soil filling the entire corridor. The stairs leading to the surface and even the room where the stairs were located were completely buried!
This road is completely blocked!
As luck would have it, this was the only exit they knew of.
Even not long ago, Sodo refused the guide of the group of geckos.
"hateful!!!"
His fist slammed hard on the motionless rock wall, and there was only regret on Sodo's face, regretting that he did not see through the devil's tricks.
It’s obvious—
The other party predicted their prediction!
Just like a good captain would deliberately steer the ship towards their hunting team, he would rather duel with them in calm waters than take a chance in a storm.
This demon king...
Even more sinister and cunning than he had imagined!
"Boss...what should we do?!" A mermaid warrior walked up to him and asked in a low voice in fear.
It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
There seemed to be nothing in the darkness, yet it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them.
It was fine when there was water before. Although they couldn't see, they could at least sense the surrounding situation through the echoes of the water.
But now——
They are like stranded fish! Sodo gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.
"Find another exit..."
"Get out first!"
