Six Lizardmen Tribes had already pledged their allegiance, adding up to more than 70,000 people. Moreover, there was also a Tauren Tribe that took the initiative to pledge their allegiance for the sake of food. There was also a Dark Dwarf Tribe that had offended the Blood Elves and fled here. In total, there were five Underground Races that had pledged their allegiance. But only the Cave Goblins and the Red-skinned Spirit Vampires received the best treatment, they were taken into the Natural Demiplane.
The Lizardmen, Taurens, and Dark Dwarves were all staying in the Underworld to explore, track, and collect resources. All of this was done by the natives of the Underworld.
The territory was set in the Tunguska Mountain Range where they first found the Cave Goblin. In any case, that wasn't anyone's territory, it was a buffer zone between the territories of a few major races. Moreover, the resources there weren't particularly abundant. At least to the lifeforms of the Underworld, that place was very barren.
There was nothing special about the 73rd God, but the plundering of the Underworld's resources made Lin Yun feel that it was a bit unfathomable.
Exchanging mana crystals for food, a sack of the same weight of Level 30 mana crystals for three times the weight of food. Even so, Dalry didn't know how many times he had muttered that those lucky fools had benefited.
The same weight of metal could be exchanged for the same weight of food, and the metal had to have been tempered. Ores that hadn't been tempered could only be exchanged for 25 kilograms of food out of 500 kilograms of material. That would be considered good luck.
Although he already knew that food was indispensable in the Underworld, he hadn't expected it to be this scarce.
The special environment of the Underworld made it very difficult for plants to grow there, especially food that could be eaten. There were many plants containing mana, but most of them contained all kinds of toxins. Apart from pure darkness lifeforms, who would eat plants growing in a place rich in darkness power?
It was rumored that even the stupidest minotaurs knew that it was best not to put plants that contained dark energy in their mouths. Otherwise, they would die. Even some of the dark races knew that they could only eat the dark plants that could be named. As for the others, it was best not to eat them carelessly. Otherwise, they might be poisoned to death.
In this kind of environment, this most ordinary food almost didn't contain any mana. In Noscent, it would be food for ordinary people, and food for the poor. But here, it was the purest, uncontaminated food. This kind of food was rare even in the Underworld.
But the price gap made Lin Yun feel a bit unbearable. A piece of roughly tempered Eternal Dark Gold weighing 25 kilograms of Eternal Dark Gold was worth 500 kilograms of food. Even then, the Tauren in charge of guarding the area was a bit jealous, he felt that it was too cheap.
Fifty kilograms of roughly tempered Eternal Dark Gold could be refined into 15 kilograms of Eternal Dark Gold after careful tempering. There would be at least 15 kilograms of Eternal dark gold. After that, a first-rate Artisan would be able to craft a True Spirit Magic, and it to be, and it would be.
If it was sold for purple golds, it might even be worth 1 billion purple golds. And if it was exchanged for food, that would be an astronomical figure. It would be enough to feed a tribe of ten thousand people for over a millennium, and it was a tribe with four stomachs like the Taurens.
His subordinates felt that it was too much of a loss after exchanging it for 500 kilograms of food. Lin Yun felt a bit ashamed, so he didn't care about this matter. Anderfa, who had been yelling that it was cheap, couldn't stand it after watching for less than half an hour. No matter how thick-skinned he was, this was no different from daylight robbery.
On the edge of the Tunguska Mountain Range, a simple and crude small city was established. This was the place to exchange food. The city walls were only a dozen meters tall, and the entire city was less than two kilometers in diameter. It was a simple castle.
But now, there were indeed a large number of people from other races going in and out of the city. Those armored and armed Taurens were patrolling around the small city. It was such a small city, but there were three thousand armed Taurens constantly patrolling. As long as one's brain wasn't damaged, they definitely wouldn't dare to cause trouble here.
Next to the small city was a large Lizardmen tribe. There were several tens of thousands of Lizardmen, a few thousand Dark Dwarves, and a Tauren tribe of ten thousand. Everyone knew that causing trouble here would definitely lead to a miserable death.
There were already a few dozen corpses hanging in the barren forest outside the small city. Some of them had come to cause trouble, while others had tried to steal food. They had all been killed and hung there. There were also a dozen corpses of Blood Elves that had been hung in the most conspicuous places by those b * stards.
These were the Blood Elves who had come to kill the Dark Dwarves. They were all dead, but they hadn't seen the Blood Elves retaliate in the past few days. Everyone knew that the masters here weren't to be trifled with. It was said that there were three Dragons, two of which were pure-blooded Dragons, and the last one was a mixed-blood, but it was even more terrifying than a pure-blooded one.
When Reeves, Dai Nuosong, and Derton arrived with their respective forces, the first thing they saw was a row of bustling scenes.
Strange intelligent creatures kept coming in and out of the simple and crude city. Teams of Taurens, armed to the teeth, kept patrolling the area.
"Just now, we only used half a bag of mana crystals to exchange for 150 kilograms of food. This is called rice, right? It's really pure food. There's no pollution at all, and there's no mana pollution at all. It's really cheap."
"Yeah, it's said that a benevolent and powerful Dragon Lord wanted to build a lair. These mana crystals are all used to make beds. These useless things can be exchanged for … Oh, food, yes, food called food. We're really lucky …"
They hadn't even reached the small city when they heard the sighs of the Underworld creatures who had exchanged for food. Reeves and the others almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
The group blankly looked at the surrounding Underworld creatures, completely dumbfounded.
After a while, Reeves squeezed out a sentence as if he was constipated.
"Damn, that guy is just blatantly robbing. He thinks these guys are idiots. No, these guys are idiots. They gave it to that guy for free, and they still have to thank that guy who's greedier than a devil …"
Derton's face turned red, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
These damned heretics, their stupidity had already exceeded the limit. That fist-sized Halo Gem was only exchanged for a bag of rations, it was really … really damned …
'A fist-sized Halo Gem is enough to be embedded at the top of my Mage Tower. These idiots, idiots … Really damned idiots …'
Dai Nuosong's expression wasn't very good either. The surrounding Underworld creatures didn't seem to realize how precious the materials in their hands were. They were all casually holding them in their hands, completely unworried that others would steal them. Only after exchanging for food would they vigilantly look at others, as if afraid that they would be robbed.
In a few minutes, a pile of precious materials entered the simple and crude small city.
The group of people walked towards the small city with dark expressions. The patrolling Minotaurs glared at them and stopped them.
"Who are you people? Captain Hans has been paying attention to you for a long time. You're looking for trouble, aren't you? Look at the forest at the side. That's the result of looking for trouble. Look at your appearance, you're really a strange race. You don't look very honest …"
The Minotaurs stopped Reeves and the others and chattered nonstop. Before they could finish, Derton couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Stupid heretics …"
The power of the Holy Light suddenly appeared, and a ball of light blasted the Tauren Captain's chest. In an instant, the Tauren, who was more than three meters tall and weighed at least 500 kilograms, was blasted away like a baseball.
The scene instantly quieted down. The Underworld lifeforms that had been waiting in line for their exchange took less than three seconds to clear a large space, and the patrolling Minotaurs stopped.
Derton coldly looked at the surrounding Underworld lifeforms, the halo of light on the surface of his body continuously fluctuating. As the famous mad dog of the Holy Light Alliance, not getting rid of all the Underworld lifeforms in this world was already his limit. But now, there was still an Underworld lifeform daring to question him, he couldn't bear it.
The aura of a 5th Rank Heaven powerhouse blossomed, and holy light power spread out without any misgivings, making many of the surrounding Underworld lifeforms feel uncomfortable. Black smoke appeared on the surface of the weaker Underworld lifeforms, and blood-curdling screams kept echoing.
The Minotaur that had been sent flying crawled out of the mound and spat out a mouthful of blood before loudly roaring.
"Damnit, someone is causing trouble! Get rid of them, Extraordinary lifeforms are causing trouble!"
With a loud roar, three thousand Minotaurs carrying thick totems rushed out. The group of Minotaurs covered in rock-like muscles roared as they rushed out. Their aura was even more frightening than that of an ordinary Heaven Rank powerhouse. The earth started shaking, and this kind of shaking seemed to contain a peculiar power. Some Underworld lifeforms fell to the ground from over a kilometer away, and they kept falling as soon as they tried to stand up. They could only look at those berserk Minotaurs in alarm.
Even some of the Underworld lifeforms flying in the air screamed as they fell from the sky. As these Minotaurs approached, Derton's expression changed. They were still over a kilometer away, but his shield started shaking, as if there was some strange power continuously shaking his shield. As these Minotaurs got closer and closer, more and more Minotaurs joined in, and the shaking became more and more intense.
The Minotaurs were known as the strongest existence in the Underworld's vanguard army. As long as enough Minotaurs charged, even a Dragon would be trampled into meat paste. This group of rude and unreasonable guys could use their group abilities when charging. Their abilities would link together, and their formidable power could crush a mountain with one charge!
Derton's expression slowly became serious. He took out his magic staff and chanted a short incantation. Light arrows rained down from the sky and fell towards the Minotaurs.
Unfortunately, these Minotaurs turned a blind eye to these light arrows and roared as they kept charging. When the numerous light arrows hit the heads of the Minotaurs, they seemed to be hit by a terrifying force and shattered one after the other.
Seeing this scene, Derton's expression thoroughly changed. Dyneson and Reeves, who were next to him, quietly retreated, drawing a line between them and Derton.
Reeves looked at Derton with a schadenfreude expression. He had a very good understanding of the Minotaurs, but unfortunately, he didn't say anything.
'Idiots of the Holy Light Alliance, could it be that the previous lesson wasn't enough? You still think that this is Noscent? In the Underworld, the power of darkness prevails, there is no power of light here.
'This group of Minotaurs is a lot more powerful than the ones I met before, and they have enough equipment and powerful totems. These totems were clearly specially forged to allow them to display their abilities to their peak.
'Three thousand Minotaurs … The weakest is an Expert Swordsman, and there are a few dozen Sword Saints. Even I wouldn't dare to face the charge of this number of Minotaurs. That idiot Derton is out of luck.
'If these Minotaurs all go berserk, haha, would Derton be trampled to death by the hooves of the Minotaurs?'
Reeves hid in the crowd to watch the fun, and Dyneson also followed. They were looking forward to Derton making a big fuss. In any case, the main culprit would definitely appear, and Derton would be the scapegoat. It wouldn't have anything to do with them.
Anyone from Noscent would definitely know that the mad dogs of the Holy Light Alliance were unreasonable.
Derton's expression turned unsightly after failing to kill those Minotaurs. He couldn't help using Extraordinary Power. The power of the Radiant Heart blossomed, and a pillar of light fell from the sky and enveloped Derton. Derton had a solemn expression as he chanted an incantation.
Soon, the light condensed into a dignified Radiant God behind Derton. The hundred-meter-tall Radiant God extended a hand and ruthlessly swatted at the Minotaurs.
The moment the huge palm slapped out, it rapidly expanded to a hundred meters wide. The terrifying pressure shook the surrounding thousands of meters. Many of the weaker dark creatures were unable to resist the power of the holy light. They lay on the ground and let out miserable cries.
The momentum of the Minotaurs' charge was also condensed to the limit. In an instant, the three thousand Minotaurs made the same action with red eyes and swung the huge totems on their shoulders forward.
In an instant, the aura surrounding the bodies of the three thousand Minotaurs solidified. A dark red aura filled the air and converged into a three-hundred-meter-tall Minotaur shadow above the heads of the three thousand Minotaurs. Everything in the surroundings of that Minotaur shadow kept shaking. Anything that touched a rock would instantly turn into a pile of powder. Anything that touched a spell would also collapse.
Facing that Radiant God's huge hand, the red-eyed Minotaurs swung the huge totems on their shoulders and fiercely swung them.
A loud explosion echoed as the huge totems collapsed and the huge Minotaurs dissipated. But that Radiant God also seemed to have been hit by a terrifying shockwave. Its body of light shook twice before loudly exploding. Derton couldn't help taking two steps back.
With just two steps, Derton's eyes were about to turn red. As a Heaven Ranked Level 5 powerhouse, one of the top figures in the Holy Light Alliance, he was actually forced to take two steps back by a group of Taurens whose strongest was only a Sword Saint. This was a disgrace, an absolute disgrace!
Derton took two steps back, and the charge of the three thousand Minotaurs was also interrupted. The gathered momentum also thoroughly dissipated, but none of the Minotaurs were injured.
Just as the enraged Derton was about to cast an Extraordinary Spell to get rid of these Minotaurs, a terrifying sense of crisis spread throughout his body.
In the sky, five magic battleships silently appeared. The main cannons and secondary cannons of the five magic battleships started charging and their muzzles were locked onto Derton.
As more and more energy converged in the muzzles, that sense of crisis turned into a fatal feeling. This meant that as long as the magic battleships opened fire, he would be screwed. He absolutely wouldn't be able to resist.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Reeves hurriedly rushed over.
"Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding! We came from the same place as your Lord and we have something to pay a visit to."
The lion-like magic beast following Dai Nuosong but with a serpent-like tail let out a deep roar and solemnly looked at the five magic battleships in the sky.
Dai Nuosong's expression suddenly changed. He raised his head and looked at the five magic battleships in shock.
'Damnit, what are those? Steel battleships? 'When did Noscent's steel battleships become so powerful? My partner actually said that these five battleships can kill it …
'Derton, that b * stard, we came to seek cooperation, not to look for trouble. That mad dog doesn't even know who the other side is, yet he dares to look for trouble so casually. Does he think this is the territory of the Holy Light Alliance?'
"Sir Derton, please calm down. We're here to seek cooperation, not to fight. This is not the territory of your Sacred Light Alliance. Please bear this in mind. Otherwise, our cooperation will come to an end here."
Derton's expression was unsightly. He looked at the five magic battleships above his head before reluctantly retreating.
Derton stopped fighting, and the five magic warships in the sky silently disappeared again, as if they had never appeared. However, at this time, the people of the three major forces could sense that something invisible was hibernating in the sky.
The battle was over, and the process of the Underworld lifeforms exchanging for food continued. None of the Underworld lifeforms took the conflict seriously, but many dark lifeforms passed by and gloomily glanced at Derton, as if they wanted to remember him.
Pure humans weren't a big race in the Underworld. There were also humans in the Underworld, but they were holed up in some remote areas and didn't have the power to expand their territory. After all, the Underworld wasn't suitable for humans to live in.
