A cliff, or a geological fault structure.
The thousand-foot-high rock wall stretched from east to west, like a mountain range, separating the border between Bloody Hills and Death Canyon. In the middle of the border, a 100-foot-wide rift valley was the ground corridor leading to Bloody Hills.
If it is a flying unit, there is no need to follow the routine to enter the rift corridor. You can directly fly over this boundary-like geological fault and travel between the front and back halves of the courtyard.
The crystal frost of the Snow Ridge Ranch, the dark blue of the Goblin Kingdom, the lush green of the Mechanical Forest, and the gray of the Death Canyon.
Once you step into the Bloody Hills, the main color of the earth is a copper-brown color.
The land here is more fertile than in the front half of the courtyard, and the rock formations here are harder than in the front half of the courtyard.
"How about it? Do you want to go to the Rift Valley Corridor to take a look?" The evil dragon was flying along the edge of the broken wall. When Mu Hua asked Odysseus, the body of the evil dragon under his feet trembled noticeably.
"No, the Adventurer's Guild has already collected information about the corridor, and I don't want to get caught in such a trap." Odysseus shook his head.
"Mu, if you really want to punish this stupid dragon, let him scout the corridor by himself." On Odysseus' shoulder, the mini Tamara flapped the dragon's wings, also rejecting Mu Hua's suggestion.
The Rift Valley Corridor is a canyon passage connecting the north and south of the courtyard.
There is a thousand-foot-high rock wall there, which gradually becomes flatter towards the north, extending for thousands of kilometers. At the end is the Silver Lake of the Sea of Sand that surrounds the area where the master of the courtyard is located.
The canyon itself is nothing special. It is a few hundred meters wide and forms a unique boundary. The road is not rough either.
However, in recent years, various human forces have spent a lot of reconnaissance equipment to explore the rift corridor, where countless spider demons are hidden in the rock walls on both sides of the canyon.
Those spider demons are like the watchdogs of the Bloody Hills. Not to mention the other monsters that may be hidden in the caves on the rock walls, if you rashly break into the rift corridor, you will inevitably fall into the spider demon's siege.
"Punishment? Dryden, do you think you should be punished?" Mu Hua said to the evil dragon that was carrying them with a joking smile.
"My lord, please forgive me. I will never dare to steal magic cores again. I promise. If I find anyone else daring to steal magic cores in the future, I will report to you the first time." Flying eastward along the broken wall, the evil dragon Dryden begged for mercy.
In the past, Mu Hua always used summoned beasts to control flying cavalry. After all, the evil dragon flying in the sky is quite conspicuous and can easily be attacked by concentrated fire. Using summoned beasts as mounts means that you don't have to worry about taking care of them. If they die, you can just summon them again.
As Mu Hua's strength continues to increase, the enemies he really needs to face are becoming stronger and stronger. The evil dragon summoned beast delivered by the summoning skill is not good enough, so Mu Hua is also willing to train a war horse specifically for him to ride.
However, the evil dragon in front of him cannot be considered as the one that Mu Hua wants to cultivate for the time being. This guy is hiding the spoils of war. Why hide magic stones and magic cores instead of anything else?
There are more evil dragons in the family over the years, and Mu Hua is no longer as careful with them as he was in the early years. In order to expand the dragon tooth soldier team and forge high-end weapons and equipment, Mu Hua also wants to disassemble a few evil dragons for parts.
Under all circumstances, Mu Hua dragged the evil dragon out. If it was not dead, he would make amends for it. If it was dead, he would cut it into pieces as a warning to those dragons in the family who liked to hide resources indiscriminately.
"It's best if you don't dare. Don't think that I won't kill you because I've invested resources in you. You're all valuable. It won't be a loss to kill you after you've fattened you up. Let's go up."
Mu Hua spoke coldly, and Tamara on Odysseus' shoulder shrank her neck. Dragons are naturally strong and cannot be considered a gregarious race. It is quite common for evil dragons to commit murder for money.
Unlike the dragons controlled by Friday, Tamara is also one of Mu Hua's friends. She knows that Mu Hua is really thinking about getting some evil dragons, fattening them up and killing them.
"Yeah~!" Following Mu Hua's instructions, the evil dragon Dryden felt a little proud. He was Friday's follower, and he somewhat thought that Mu Hua was reluctant to kill him.
Flying over the broken wall, Dryden spread his dragon might and spread his wings to invade the bloody hills.
Although it is called hills, it is actually an endless plain with mottled forests. Looking down from the sky, there are almost no mountains on the earth.
The branches of the Silver Lake in the Shanhai spread out into a winding water system on the bloody hills. As the evil dragon took off into the air, some winged demons fled in panic near the broken walls.
Across the vast land, one could occasionally see bright flashes of magical explosions; those were demons fighting in the wilderness.
The monsters in Bloody Hills are mainly demons, but the demons here don’t seem to be actively preparing for war against humans. There is fighting and hunting among demons everywhere.
"Roar! Roar!" The evil dragon in the sky was flying along the edge of the broken wall. On the ground, demons were fleeing and some were roaring in protest.
It was a wild scene, and there were almost no ground buildings to be seen on the Bloody Hills, except for the underground demon palace. Even if there were a few castles built on the surface, there were demon nests with surging magma around the castles, and most of their main space was underground.
To clear out the demons entrenched in the Bloody Hills is much more difficult than the several monster areas in the first half.
"There are quite a few winged demons here. Even if they are not winged demons, it is not difficult for them to jump off the fault. It seems that we must build an air defense line." Flying along the border between the Bloody Hills and the Death Canyon, Mu Hua frowned because of the overly flat terrain below.
"The Rift Valley Corridor must be cleared and blocked, and early warning along the entire border must be provided. At the very least, an early warning system must be established one hundred kilometers away," said Odysseus.
"Let Thursday and his floating monsters patrol the defense line, but we need to capture more floating monsters. Their growth and energy storage are inseparable from the abyss. If it involves a high-intensity and protracted battle, the two teams will have to take turns in defense." Mu Hua thought.
The transformation of the floating monster into Leviathan cannot be said to be evolution. It is a transition that is more complicated than evolution. Thursday has completed the transition to Leviathan. Whether it is in the courtyard or the human world, it has no problem wandering outside for a long time.
But let's not talk about growth. Similar to charging, if the floating monsters want to maintain their combat effectiveness, they must return to the abyss to breathe out magic. Otherwise, it's not that they can't absorb enough magic power, but that they will consume a lot of power when they move.
If we don't prepare magic stones, magic cores, demon gold coins and the like for them to swallow, they will fight for an hour and lie dormant for a year or two. Using them to fight a tug-of-war with the demons will make them unable to win, which is basically equivalent to giving food to the demons.
"The straight line length of the border from east to west is more than 5,000 kilometers. The demons are cunning. With the number of floating monsters under Thursday's command, they are definitely not able to block it. In addition, the dragons under Friday's command are unstable."
"We really don't need help from other forces? If we block the Bloody Hills, the Adventurer's Guild will also be obliged to assist."
"Abigail, Tennyson, and the Adventurer's Guild, they should all be able to send some joint defense fleets." Odysseus said.
"The Adventurer's Guild's obligations are not so easy to accept. Once they have fulfilled their obligations, they will naturally have to take some power. We can give up the first half, but we must have full control over the second half." Mu Hua frowned.
Abigail is an old-fashioned ghost god, and her power has now developed stably. She sent a fleet to Mu Hua in the beginning, but Mu Hua was only fighting a small battle with the monsters at that time, and the fleet staying here would only waste energy and accumulate rust, so Mu Hua asked her to take it back.
As for the Kingdom of Galaposo, Odysseus should be confident that he can get a fleet from Tennyson, but he is a hoarder and that guy is probably arguing based on the premium standard.
The Adventurer's Guild will definitely be able to complete the border blockade, but based on how much they have invested, they will inevitably gain corresponding benefits and rights here later.
If the Adventurer's Guild puts in more effort here and eventually overthrows the Lord of the Courtyard, it is possible that they will be able to control the core of the courtyard.
The Adventurer's Guild has many obligations, but obligations are always linked to power, and power is always placed before obligations.
There is really nothing to say about people's spirit of dedication to public welfare, but if you let them contribute and then argue with them over power, then it is a bit presumptuous.
Mu Hua resisted other forces from intervening in the blockade of the Bloody Hills' defense line. Odysseus, who had already stepped into the core of Mu Hua's forces, was also aware of his own advantages.
They did not object to Mu Hua's somewhat greedy attitude, and their eyes were focused on the floating monsters in the abyss.
Regardless of whether it is capture or abduction, it is not impossible to expand the number of one's own abyss monsters.
However, the only thing that worries Odysseus at this moment is that if his family creates a large Leviathan tribe, then as the seventh Leviathan king, he will be embarrassed. (End of this chapter)
