In order to not cause trouble for the tribe, Dalry almost never showed his face in the tribe. Occasionally, he would send back some food, but he still had to worry about being discovered and robbed by other tribes.
The old lizardmen were all dead. Every time there was a battle, the old lizardmen would always rush to the front in order to reduce the pressure on the tribe. The young lizardmen were few in number because they didn't dare to reproduce and didn't have enough food to feed their offspring. Hunting depended on the young and strong lizardmen. They were the most important reason for the tribe's existence.
Seeing this, Lin Yun was a bit surprised. Although he knew that the lizardmen had always been scattered, the lizardmen were powerful. It was impossible for them to fall to such a state. There was only one possibility. This lizardmen tribe had been expelled by a large tribe. Only then would they be able to survive in such a resource-poor place.
The magic battleship slowly descended. The lizardmen on the ground were already in chaos. These lizardmen had never seen a magic battleship before. Its terrifying aura was like that of five terrifying monsters. Some of the lizardmen fled in fear, while others knelt on the ground to show their subservience.
Lin Yun shook his head. He didn't show himself and instead had Dalry leave.
After so many years, he could finally openly set foot on the tribe's land. Dalry's mood was very complicated. When he appeared with a large amount of food, the tribe continuously cheered.
With a large amount of food and a powerful backer, Lin Yun's orders were quickly spread by the lizardmen.
The lizardmen had never been afraid of battle, nor were they afraid of war. In the past, the tribe almost never caused any trouble, and they would endure anything. This was because they couldn't afford to waste time. As long as a small war occurred, the tribe would collapse. If they couldn't hunt, everyone would starve to death. Normally, apart from powerful hunters, no one else would be able to eat their fill. At most, they could maintain a state of not starving to death.
But now, it was different. They could eat until they vomited, and it didn't matter if they fought. The Dalry Tribe was full of confidence. In less than a week, the news had spread within several hundred kilometers. As long as there was a definite clue about the characteristics of the seventy-third Divine Demon, they could exchange the information for food.
The news continued to spread. In less than half a month, the news had spread thousands of kilometers away. Even other lizardmen tribes began to spread the news.
No one knew that these key characteristics were the characteristics of the 73rd Fiendgod's reincarnation. Apart from the 73rd Fiendgod himself, it didn't matter if someone found it or if the 73rd Fiendgod knew about it.
Even if the 73rd Godfiend knew that someone was looking for him, he would definitely take the initiative to come to him. Under such circumstances, the 73rd Godfiend would never expose himself as a reincarnation of a Godfiend.
Now, he only needed to calmly wait for the news. Dalry fused with the bloodline power of a Dragon Blood and smoothly advanced to the Extraordinary realm. After advancing to the Heaven Rank, Dalry didn't properly train. Instead, he immediately started running around, looking for other lizardmen tribes to spread the news.
Every lizardmen tribe that Darley visited became a stronghold. Anyone who had information could use it to exchange for food at the lizardmen tribe.
A large amount of food was sent out by Dalry, and he felt extremely distressed every time he sent out food. But he didn't know that the ordinary food that Lin Yun had prepared in advance was enough to feed over ten million people for a few years.
Moreover, most of this food was produced by the Gilded Rose's own farms. In Noscent, this food simply couldn't be sold, and the effort spent on it was more valuable than the food itself. Only food containing mana was the most popular in Noscent. Even ordinary people, as long as they weren't lacking in wealth, would be willing to eat food containing mana. That way, not only would it slowly change their physique, but it would also increase the probability of their descendants possessing the talent of mages.
Only the most ordinary poor people would eat these ordinary grains. The biggest use of these grains was not for people to eat, but to brew wine, or to use as other materials to refine some special things. These were the areas where the most food was consumed.
But in the Underworld, even for some powerful races, food was considered a hard currency. No one would think that there was too much food.
Lin Yun was distributing a large amount of food to this side and using it to open the way. The speed at which the news spread was very fast. On the other side, some people were feeling uncomfortable.
"These damned lifeforms of the Underworld, they are all damned, damned, damned …"
The Tower of Storm's Reeves gnashed his teeth and cursed. He had been in the Underworld for more than half a month and his harvest wasn't small, but it was far from what he had expected.
He wanted to subdue a few Underworld races and use them to plunder resources, but he found out that things weren't going as smoothly as he had imagined.
When he first arrived, he subdued a Half-Beastman Tauren Tribe. There were over eight thousand Taurens, which was considered a sizable Tauren Tribe in the Underworld. These barbaric guys were terrifyingly powerful, especially in battle. When a group of Taurens charged, no one would be able to stop them.
The first week of the Path of Conquest went very smoothly. The surrounding Half-Beastman Tribes were subdued and suppressed, but after ten days, a change occurred.
All the Taurens joined the campaign, so they could only eat what they had hoarded before. Coupled with the fierce battles, the consumption of food became more and more intense. After ten days, a situation that left Reeves dumbfounded appeared. The entire Tauren Tribe didn't have any food left, and the remaining food was only enough for three days.
And the sudden campaign made the surrounding Half-Beastman Tribes fall into a similar crisis. Everyone was starving to death.
As a Heaven Rank powerhouse, how could Reeves, who didn't need to eat anything, have expected this situation? He took out mana crystals to buy food, only to discover that there was no place to buy so much food.
Hunting? Don't even think about it. The prey within a few dozen kilometers of the tribe had been eaten to extinction, and the ones that didn't want to go extinct had already migrated elsewhere.
Then, twenty days later, the so-called most loyal Tauren Warriors rebelled.
The battle had just started when the Tauren Tribe's people joined forces with the Half-Beastman Tribe, completely forgetting that Reeves was a terrifying Extraordinary lifeform.
Then, Reeves led the Tower of Storm's mages and made a very stupid move. They joined forces with the Taurens and the Half-Beastmen to launch a furious massacre.
After getting rid of the Half-Beastmen, the remaining Half-Beastmen scattered and fled. The Tower of Storm's mages were once again left without an army.
And this wasn't what made Reeves feel the most uncomfortable. What made him even more furious was that two Heaven Rank Beastmen had appeared out of nowhere. Less than a day after he got rid of them, an even stronger guy appeared and killed a few Heaven Rank Beastmen of the Tower of Storm before chasing Reeves for a few hundred kilometers.
For the past few days, Reeves had been hiding with the mages of the Tower of Storms, and it took him several days to figure out what was going on.
Every Half-Beastman Tribe was an individual, and there was no problem even if they were loyal to the Blood Elves. They would fiercely fight when encountering their own kind on the battlefield. They were completely loyal warriors.
But this was on the premise that the loyal Half-Beastman Tribe had enough to eat. This was the most fundamental rule. Not letting the loyal Half-Beastman Tribe have enough to eat and killing them would make them the public enemy of all Half-Beastmen. This was what all Half-Beastmen hated the most.
The relationship between the Half-Beastmen and the Blood Elves was so bad that they would start fighting whenever they saw each other. The main reason was that the loyal Half-Beastman Tribe wouldn't have enough to eat and would be tortured to death more than once.
After a few days, after figuring out why he was being chased, Reeves sullenly wanted to kill someone. He wanted to use mana crystals to buy food, but he discovered that mana crystals were the most worthless thing in the Underworld. Apart from mana crystals above level 40 that were worth a bit of money, mana crystals below level 40 were like cabbages compared to Noscent's mana crystals.
Using mana crystals to buy a large amount of food in the Underworld? Haha, wash up and sleep …
Use Purple Golds? Not to mention, there was no such thing as Purple Golds in the Underworld. In the end, Reeves had no other choice but to take out the top-notch materials he had collected, only to discover that the lifeforms of the Underworld didn't recognize them. He found a Half-Beastman city and wandered around for an entire day. The highest bidder was actually only enough food to feed a thousand Minotaurs for ten days.
An esteemed Heaven Rank powerhouse, a powerhouse of the Tower of Storm that could handle the matters of the Underworld, had unexpectedly fallen to an embarrassing state where he couldn't even buy the most ordinary food.
He had made a lot of preparations before coming to the underground world, and all the materials he had brought were the most precious. Even the weakest mana crystal was from a level 38 or 39 magic beast, and he had brought the best potions to deal with unexpected situations.
He had brought everything, but he hadn't brought any food. Let alone ordinary food, he hadn't even brought any food containing mana.
In the end, he had no choice but to be chased by a crazy Minotaur. He could only use a Heaven Rank potion to make up for his previous mistake, and he also used another Heaven Rank potion to trade for enough food to feed ten thousand Minotaurs for fifteen days.
But even so, the Minotaur Tribe wasn't willing to remain loyal after obtaining the food, so the Tower of Storm could only act alone. All of their previous plans had gone to waste.
On the other side, the Holy Light Alliance's situation was even more miserable. The three major forces had only separated for a day when the Holy Light Alliance's people encountered a group of dark races fighting against the Blood Elves.
Derton originally wanted to capture these heretics and interrogate them for some useful information, but he hadn't expected that just as the power of the Holy Light appeared, they would simultaneously be attacked by dark lifeforms and Blood Elves. The enraged Derton didn't even think about purifying these dark lifeforms and Blood Elves.
But this was very troublesome. A Heaven Rank Vampire had died among the dark lifeforms, and one of the Blood Elves had been the eldest son of a Blood Elf City's overlord.
In the following days, the Holy Light Alliance's people lived miserable lives. It had originally been a fight between two good-for-nothings, but now, it involved a Vampire force and a Blood Elf force. The powerhouses on both sides were terrifying, and after being chased for half a month, even a 6th Rank Heaven powerhouse appeared.
The Holy Light Alliance suffered disastrous losses. They hadn't expected the power of the Holy Light to be so unpopular in the Underworld.
The only ones that were slightly better were the members of the Chester Family. Their power mainly came from the magic beasts they summoned. They had captured a large number of magic beasts in a dark mountain range to form a magic beast army, but they had attracted the attention of a powerful Darkness Multi-Armed Beast in the depths of the mountain range. Four or five of them had died before they managed to escape.
The three major forces hadn't expected the power of the Underworld to be so powerful, and they hadn't expected that all their plans would be rendered useless. After being in a sorry state for a month, the three major forces finally gathered together.
"I heard that someone released a large amount of food, apparently looking for someone. I hadn't paid attention at first, but I discovered that the food was produced in Noscent. Someone else entered the Underworld besides us!"
Dai Nuosong of the Chester Family had a dark expression as he reported the information he had obtained. Derton and Reeves' expressions also darkened.
"Someone actually followed us to the Underworld!"
Reeves stood up with an unsightly expression, his mana surging and his eyes filled with killing intent.
Derton shook his head with a sullen expression.
"Impossible, to open the passage we came from, one would need to be proficient in Truth Magic. Without my Magic Tool, one would need to be at least at the 6th Rank of the Heaven realm.
"Apart from that method, I would be able to detect any other method of opening that passage. It's impossible for someone to have followed us down. Someone definitely came down before us, and not just once."
Dai Nuosong and Reeves had dark expressions. Even if that person hadn't followed them down and they had suffered countless obstacles, the other side was very carefree. They only needed to pay some of Noscent's terrifyingly cheap food to get more than a thousandfold in return.
The three of them hadn't eaten that kind of ordinary food since they were born. They had been eating food containing mana since childhood and had rarely seen ordinary food, so how could they have thought of that?
"I don't know who that damned guy is, but since he has Noscent's food, he must be someone from Noscent. He knows that the Underworld lacks food, so this definitely isn't the first time he came. Damnit, what should we do now? Don't tell me we have to leave this world? "
Reeves was a bit irritable. Everything he had suffered in this month was the complete opposite of what he had experienced in Noscent. He already had plans to return, and Derton also had the same idea.
But Dai Nuosong immediately shook his head.
"No, we can't go back now. We definitely won't be able to hide the fact that we entered the Underworld for long. If we go back now, it would be the same as telling everyone about the Underworld. At that time, everything would become chaotic and it would be very difficult for us to obtain any benefits.
"Since we can't continue, we can only look for that person to cooperate with. Since he has so much food, it definitely isn't the first time he came. But he definitely doesn't know about the ruins I'm looking for. Let him join the exploration and we'll cooperate to excavate the ruins first.
"We have plenty of time to slowly explore the other benefits of the Underworld. We have to make arrangements in advance before going back this time. Our advantage will disappear once more people join us."
Hearing Dai Nuosong's words, Reeves and Derton were startled.
'That damned b * stard, no wonder he was so generous. Not only did he gift a True Spirit Magic Tool, but he also paid such a huge price. Turns out he was planning on exploring the ruins himself. For that b * stard to pay such a huge price, it must be some extraordinary ruins!'
Hearing Dai Nuosong's words, Reeves and Derton immediately understood Dai Nuosong's plan. He would rather split the benefits to bring the Sacred Light Alliance and the Tower of Storm's people into the Underworld. It was most likely because of the ruins. As long as they could obtain the benefits of the ruins, everything else didn't matter.
Now that he said this, he knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to explore the ruins. The people of the three major forces were having a hard time moving in the Underworld. If they let this opportunity slip by, it would be impossible for them to peacefully explore the ruins the next time they came. At that time, who would get the benefits? Not to mention, it wouldn't have anything to do with the Chester Family.
Reeves and Derton understood everything, but they didn't blame Dai Nuosong and instead nodded in agreement.
"That's right, we can only look for that guy to cooperate with. But, Sir Dai Nuosong, can you tell us about the ruins?"
Dai Nuosong didn't directly answer and instead changed the topic.
"I'll tell you about it after we meet that guy. But you can rest assured, the benefits of the ruins are very great, that guy definitely won't refuse.
"Our family once captured a magic beast that escaped from the Underworld, and it was a Heaven Rank Magic Beast. That Heaven Rank Magic Beast told my ancestor everything, it's absolutely reliable."
Dai Nuosong didn't explain, so Reeves and Derton didn't press him. Unexpectedly obtaining this information could be considered a pleasant surprise. After all, if it hadn't been for something unexpected, the Chester Family definitely wouldn't have brought the Tower of Storm and the Sacred Light Alliance with them.
Even if they thought about it, they absolutely wouldn't have thought that the Underworld actually had food, especially plant-based food.
There was no sun here, and the entire world was like a sealed sphere. Having light was already pretty good, but that light clearly didn't help the growth of plants too much. Being able to grow food was the specialty of some rare races.
Lin Yun had sent out a large amount of food and obtained a lot of information, but not much of it was useful. The power of a large amount of food was more powerful than anything else in this place.
The races with relatively large populations couldn't bear to see this kind of large amount of food. They only needed to send out a few people to search for information. Looking for a person was a very simple matter. That way, they could earn a large amount of food. It was no different from picking it up for free.
