The dark and gloomy rooms in the underground lair were like little cubicles. Some were used for storage, while others were used for cultivation. Yellowish gems were embedded in the walls, giving the underground lair a dim glow. Although the glow wasn't very bright, it was at least bright enough for people to see.
The energy crystals were arranged in special arrays to form all kinds of defensive boundaries. Kage's subordinates mainly survived by looting merchants that passed through the Fringe. The looted goods were stored in these warehouses. Until they found a suitable buyer, they would guard these goods in the underground lair.
The underground lair had no shortage of experts. Two highgods were stationed on both sides of the lair, responsible for the defense of the underground lair. As Kage had to pay tribute to Salas every year, most of the Fringe's villains would not dare to cause trouble in this area. They might not necessarily be afraid of Kage, but they held Salas in awe and veneration.
It was precisely because they had Salas as their backer that Kage and his subordinates were used to being arrogant and domineering. Other than the subordinates of the other Sovereigns, they didn't give a damn about the gods of the Fringe. With Salas around, no one would dare to provoke them.
One demon general after another flew out from Han Shuo. With Han Shuo as the center, a tight net was silently spread across the entire underground lair. Every area and distribution of people in the underground lair was reflected in Han Shuo's mind through the feedback of the demon generals.
After a long while, Han Shuo put on a faint smile and instructed Han Tu, "Seal up the tunnels leading to the surface!"
Han Tu put on a mischievous smile and sank into the ground.
After carefully sensing for a moment, Han Shuo instructed Little Skull, Han Hao, and Rose, "Kage shouldn't be in the underground lair. But it doesn't matter. Let's get rid of his subordinates and loot their goods first." Han Shuo glanced at Han Jin and said, "The ores they looted shouldn't be here. Kage might have taken them away. We can only get them if we find him."
"There's no rush," Han Jin smiled and said, "Let's settle this first."
Han Shuo nodded and calmly instructed, "Let's do it. Don't leave anyone alive!"
As soon as he finished those words, Little Skull, Han Hao, and Rose dashed out from two different paths and started a massacre. Everywhere they went, miserable screams could be heard.
Han Jin, Han Mu, Han Shui, and Han Huo happily joined the battle. The four of them did not need to join forces. They could instantly kill any midgod by relying on their miraculous energy and tacit cooperation.
Han Shuo stood motionless on the spot. He had materialized the demon generals that were scattered in the underground lair. They turned into dark shadows that wreaked havoc in the underground lair. There were nearly a thousand demon generals in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon. Among them, there were a few dozen high-grade demon generals refined from highgod souls. The horde of demon generals alone was enough to bathe the underground lair in blood.
Even if there were twice as many gods in the underground lair, they would not be able to withstand the massacre of Han Shuo and his party, much less Kage and the other experts. Amid miserable screams, one corpse after another fell into a pool of blood.
Usually, they were the ones slaughtering the traveling merchants. When they saw that they were easily killed, they were terrified and desperately tried to escape through the tunnels leading to the surface.
Unfortunately, Han Tu had blocked their only way out. When those fleeing for their lives rushed to the entrance, they discovered that what awaited them was the earth collapsing and earth spikes attacking them. Most of them were killed in an instant.
Deep underground, Han Tu's strength was several times stronger than usual!
Han Tu was now confident that he could kill even a highgod using the energy of the earth. As long as he was underground, he could use the omnipresent energy of the earth to attack and defend himself. There was no one better at using the energy of the earth than him.
Han Tu excitedly manipulated the energy of the earth. Many of Kage's subordinates were crushed to death before they could even get out of their rooms. The few gods that survived the earth spikes were suddenly blocked by earth walls before they could even get close to Han Tu.
Before they could break free, an earth dragon drilled out of nowhere and rammed the few midgods to death. Han Tu laughed heartily. Under his control, earth dragons wriggled and slithered underground. They mixed with Han Shuo's demon generals and hunted down Kage's subordinates who had nowhere else to run.
It didn't take long for all forty to fifty gods in the underground to be killed. Their divine souls were absorbed by the Cauldron of Myriad Demon released by Han Shuo. They turned into lifeless corpses.
"Who the hell are you? We are Lord Kage's subordinates. Lord Kage is under the protection of Sovereign Salas. You are challenging Lord Salas's authority. You are courting death! " Shouted a highgod of water who possessed highgod strength. He put on a brave front while being pointed at by Little Skull Han Hao.
"Where did Kage go?" Han Hao didn't rush to kill him. He calmly looked at the man and asked softly.
"Who the hell are you? Do we have any grudges against you? "shouted the Little Skull Han Hao's bone spear.
Little Skull furrowed his brows and thrust the bone spear forward. It broke through all of his defenses, penetrated his abdomen, and nailed him to the wall. He asked again, "Where is Kage?"
With the bone spear stuck in his abdomen, the evil energy was gnawing at his divine body like hundreds and thousands of ants. He turned pale with fright. When he saw the emotionless eyes of Little Skull, he was terrified. He hastily asked, "Will you spare my life if I tell you?"
The Little Skull did not answer. He gently turned the arm that held the bone spear. The evil energy that was wreaking havoc in his body suddenly surged into his brain. The inhuman pain suddenly flared up. The Little Skull started wailing miserably. He forgot to bargain with Han Hao and cried, "He brought a batch of ores to Lord Salas!"
The bone spear pierced through the Little Skull's abdomen and through his head. Pfff! Blood gushed out.
The pitch-black Cauldron of Myriad Demon floated over like a ghost and covered the top of the Little Skull's head, devouring his divine soul that had yet to dissipate. The Cauldron of Myriad Demon continued to float. Whenever someone died, the Cauldron of Myriad Demon would arrive promptly and absorb all of the deceased's divine soul.
Ten minutes later, the underground lair was filled with rivers of blood. All of Kage's subordinates had been slaughtered.
The demon generals scattered in every corner of the underground lair gradually gathered at the Cauldron of Myriad Demon in the center. Little Skull, Han Hao, Rose, and the Five Elite Zombies were gathering resources from the warehouses according to Han Shuo's instructions.
Kage had hoarded all kinds of resources in the underground lair, including some divine weapons that were not particularly valuable. These things were not particularly useful to Han Shuo. He only picked some extremely rare herbs and stones, as well as special leather armor and alien skeletons that could be used to make divine armor.
After a while, the group reassembled in front of Han Shuo. Everyone had a few more smiles on their faces.
Little Skull, Han Hao, the Five Elite Zombies, and Rose were on his side. Han Shuo would not rob them of the things they needed. Other than those things that were gathered according to Han Shuo's instructions, Han Shuo did not want any of the resources and materials that they thought would be useful to him.
"Huh? How did you gather so much?" Han Shuo discovered that the Five Elite Zombies and Rose had gathered very little. Only Little Skull, Han Hao, had found two space rings that Han Shuo thought were of little value. This came as a surprise to Han Shuo.
"Father, the things that I don't need are useful to my subordinates," Little Skull scratched his head and explained to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment. It was only then that he recalled that Little Skull had a group of godhunters under him. It seemed that Little Skull had spared no effort in gathering divine armor and divine weapons for them so that they could grow to their peak strength. It was no wonder that Little Skull would bring so many things with him.
"I see," Han Shuo nodded. Han Shuo nodded and instructed Han Tu, "Use the energy of the earth to move the remaining items deeper underground. When we have the time in the future, we can bring them out again. Haha, I'm afraid that you are the only one who can easily bring things out from deep underground. "
Han Shuo had noticed that Han Tu's strength in the underground base was much stronger than when he was on the surface. Other than Han Shuo, the one who killed the most people in the underground base was neither Little Skull, Han Hao, nor Rose, but Han Tu.
Han Shuo suddenly realized that the Five Elite Zombies were not only useful to him. As they were adept at using the energy of the five elements, they could provide much more help to Han Shuo than he had expected.
"Alright, I'll get to it right away!" Replied Han Tu with a silly smile. Although he didn't do anything special, the underground base was filled with lattice rooms. They gave Han Shuo and the others the illusion that they had sunk to the bottom of the ocean. After a short while, all the rooms that stored the resources had disappeared under the watchful eyes of Han Shuo and the others.
"Even if Kage comes back, he will have to dig a new tunnel to enter the underground base. Hehe, when he comes back, he might think that he is in the wrong place, "said Han Shui with a mischievous smile.
The others thought for a moment and felt that Han Shui's words were very interesting. If Kage returned to Quickthorn Vale and found that he couldn't find a tunnel to enter the underground base, he would be very confused. When he finally dug a tunnel to enter the underground base, he would find that there was nothing there. Everything that he was familiar with would have changed and he might really think that he was in the wrong place.
"Come, let's go to the Omphalos to take a look. I don't think anyone knows what happened here," said Han Shuo smilingly. He had Han Tu lead the way and they left the underground base.
