late at night.
Lin Dao cleared the people around him and lifted up the desk, revealing a hole the size of a human head underneath.
I saw his body suddenly shrink and jump into the hole.
"whoosh"
At this time, Lin Dao slid into the hole like a loach and disappeared.
A moment later.
Lin Dao appeared in a tunnel three hundred meters underground in the east of the city. He walked along the tunnel, and the small black insects in the nearby soil rustled and made way for him, as if they knew him.
After walking forward for dozens of meters, a door made of fine steel appeared at the end of the tunnel. It was firmly embedded in the rock layer on all sides and was very solid.
Two men in black robes stood near the gate. When they saw Lin Dao, they bowed and said, "Greetings, Guardian Dao."
Lin Dao nodded and asked, "Has Qianzuhe Du Gu been here?"
The man in black robe glanced behind him cautiously and didn't want to answer.
But he also knew that Lin Dao had a violent temper and would kill insect slaves like him at any time.
He lowered his head and replied timidly, "The two guardians are selecting resources in the warehouse."
Lin Dao said angrily, "Take the resources again! All this life essence should be given to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fine steel door was pushed open, and out walked the red-robed Qianzu and Duhu. The two of them looked at Lin Dao with interest, and said in unison: "Isn't this Guardian Dao? How is the Frostworm Project progressing?"
"I heard someone was selling some kind of cold-repelling cakes in Thunder Dragon City. Lin Dao, could it be that the Frostworm Project can't go on?"
"If it really doesn't work, then we can just give up the resources. Our elite plan is going very smoothly. A few days ago, an elite was born independently. In just a few days, it is almost entering the middle stage of level four."
"Yes, maybe in half a month, after consuming these life essences, my precious elite will be as strong as the Sword Guardian."
"Shut up! Leave me my life essence!"
There was no one here, and Lin Dao no longer had to endure the anger that had been suppressed for a long time. He suddenly raised his hands, and his hands changed rapidly as he raised them. In the blink of an eye, they turned into two-meter-long large knife arms. At the same time, his body also became much longer, revealing an attacking posture like a mantis.
"Shua"
The blade arm flashed with silver light in the tunnel, and rays of blade light shot towards Qianzu and Du Gu.
Qianzu's face suddenly changed color and he roared, "Old Knife, are you serious?" As he roared, his body expanded instantly, and his red robe spread out, turning into an eight-meter-long giant millipede, using his hard claws to block the knife light.
"Bang bang bang"
The knife flashed and hit the rock wall, creating a huge hole instantly.
Seeing this, Du Gu also swung out a large, translucent poison hook from his red robe, and tied Lin Dao's body along the ground, shouting, "Alright, alright, I'll leave you half of this batch of life essence. Stop fighting. If you keep making trouble and Long Changming finds us, we will all become Elder Lei's blood food."
Lin Dao's movements did not slow down at all, he continued to chop at Qianzu and shouted, "Take out the life essence first!"
Poison Hook reluctantly took out more than ten balls of light and placed them on the ground, then retreated and said, "Here you go, here you go. You're such a lunatic, what's the point of going crazy with us? If the Frostworm Plan really fails, go go crazy with Elder Lei!"
From a distance, each of these light balls looks very similar to a baby, of similar size, and has baby-like marks on them. But if you look closely, you can find that these light balls are not real objects, but extremely rich life energy.
It is obvious that these life energies are extracted from humans, and they are extremely concentrated, naturally turning into the original appearance of humans.
Lin Dao stopped, put away his life essence, pushed open the door with a cold face, and walked into the warehouse.
Qianzu breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "He's showing off just because he's achieved a level six breakthrough. When we do too, we'll make him pay!"
Poison Hook retracted his hook and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, let's go. Judging from his behavior, we will need his support outside the city on the day of the attack."
Qianzu quickly regained his human form. He looked at his torn red robe and damaged insect legs, and with a wave of his hand, he grabbed the two black-robed men standing next to him and began to bite them.
After a moment, the black robes of the two insect slaves were stained with blood and turned into red robes.
Putting on a red robe, Qianzuhe left here with a poisonous hook.
Lin Dao went straight to the inventory area where metal resources were stored after entering the gate. In the work area beside him, hundreds of people in black robes were busy with their own work, some forging, some smelting. Looking closely, one could find that these people had dull eyes and mechanical movements, as if they were controlled, like puppets.
This underground metal resource area is a large iron box made of fine steel, like several containers stacked together. The person guarding the door is Lin Dao's confidant.
Seeing Lin Dao coming, the confidant immediately stood up and said, "Hello, sir. I just did a routine inventory of the warehouse this morning. The quantities of thunder iron, bronze, and fire coal are correct, and the steel mantis population is developing normally." After saying that, he took the initiative to extend his blade arm and inserted it into the door lock. After it was tightly closed, he twisted the lock with force and opened the door.
Lin Dao nodded and stood at the gate to look.
Inside the gate, three small hills are lined up side by side. Looking left and right, the forged iron ingots are shining with lightning and stacked neatly. The copper ingots next to them have a green luster, as if some special materials have been added during the forging. The fire coal in the corner is like a rough version of flame crystals, and the warm breath can be felt from afar.
In addition to these, there is also an area behind the hill used to feed the Iron Mantis clan.
Seeing this, Lin Dao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he saw the resources he had accumulated through all these years of hard work, he would immediately feel at ease.
After quietly admiring it for more than ten minutes, Lin Dao took out dozens of resources, left the warehouse, instructed his confidants to take better care of them, and returned to the Divine Weapon Pavilion to start busying himself with the forging.
…
The next morning, Qian Duoduo knocked on Chen Wangping's door and ran in, speaking mysteriously to him, "Senior, I've found out that the Divine Weapon Pavilion has been hoarding large quantities of iron and copper ore through various small merchants for the past few years. However, they haven't sold much weapons and equipment this past year, nor have they shipped any large quantities out of the city. They're probably still sitting in the Divine Weapon Pavilion's warehouse."
Chen Wangping asked directly: "Good job, do you know the location of the warehouse?"
Qian Duoduo chuckled, "I roughly know. I have a cheap brother-in-law who has the ability to sense gold. He likes to steal and rob. One time, when he was being chased, he fell into a hole and ran around for several times without knowing what was going on. As a result, he sensed a large amount of fine metal from a distance. He said it was as much as a small mountain!"
