One, two, three. When the dome doors closed one by one, the invading void beasts were dumbfounded. At this moment, they also knew that they had stepped into a trap. Seeing that the passage at the top was closed and that there was no hope of escaping, they became even more ferocious. The beasts began to avoid the castle and the arrow towers, and rushed toward the core of the earth further away. They could sense that there were lives further away in the core of the earth.
They wanted to drag these lives down with them.
Tang Shidao didn't care.
If the underground world created by Evil Eye could be destroyed so easily, it wouldn't be qualified to be called one of the seven heroes of the Inverse Sorcerer.
As expected.
The wounded beast army rushed through the arrow formation, but before they reached the entrance to the core of the earth, a high steel wall appeared. At the same time, countless strange arrow towers appeared and shot out giant arrows, which scattered into countless smaller arrows in the air. Tens of thousands of arrows were shot at the same time, and the scene of day turning into night appeared. In an instant, countless thin arrows rained down like a rainstorm.
Although the thin arrows weren't very powerful, together with the spear-like arrows, the beast army fell before they even reached the high wall.
Strictly speaking, this wasn't an invasion.
It was more like a tiger opening a door and letting in a flock of sheep. Now, the sheep were all harvested.
Perhaps after all the invaders were dead, the mechanisms of the underground world rumbled again.
Soon.
The castle slowly sank, and the watchtowers and arrow towers slowly returned to the ground.
In the distance, the high steel wall also slowly descended, and a group of beasts in clothes and armor waited in formation. Seeing Tang Shidao here, they weren't surprised at all. Just like the first time he entered the underground world, the beasts with arms all pointed, as if guiding Tang Shidao to a certain place.
Then.
The beasts began to quickly cut up the corpses, taking the parts that could be eaten or made into armor.
Their movements were very practiced, as if they had done it countless times.
From the wounds on some of the beasts, it could be seen that they didn't just 'pick up' food, they also hunted. In the Forbidden Magic Land, they were considered an evolved species. Many species worked together, used tools, built defenses, and formed an orderly group. They were imitating the sorcerers of the war fortress, slowly building their own stable foundation.
Tang Shidao did not make things difficult for them.
Their main goal in Nightmare Forest was to find Evil Eye's treasures and the bodies of Tiger Shadow's companions, whose whereabouts were unknown.
Follow the guidance.
Tang Shidao slowly walked to the central hall in the core region. At this moment, a group of powerful old beasts were waiting. They were like the elders of the various races, representing the various races to make decisions here. Tang Shidao could see the strength of these 'elders'. Their physiques were stronger than his, but they did not have the mystical ability of the primordial black flame. He sensed that they didn't have any ill intentions, so he wasn't worried that they would cause trouble.
These old mutated beasts didn't know how to use language and could barely express their thoughts.
They carried out a giant box, indicating that it was the last of Evil Eye's possessions. They couldn't explain how they were related to Evil Eye, and all they could say was that Evil Eye was the one who had created the Underworld. Because of their help, Evil Eye had given the place to the monsters to live. He had also left behind many things for them to learn.
Only then did Tang Shidao realize that no one had ever completed the ninth stage!
That was because Evil Eye had made arrangements long ago.
Every time someone completed a stage, Evil Eye would leave behind an additional set of knowledge for the monsters. Evil Eye had given the monsters nine treasure vaults, which contained knowledge and equipment. As long as someone successfully completed the first stage, one of the treasure vaults would open, and the monsters would be able to obtain everything in that treasure vault. So far, the first eight treasure vaults had been opened, and only the last one was left.
Today, he had successfully completed the ninth stage, and the elders had kept their promise and given away Evil Eye's treasures.
Perhaps they also knew that … the monsters couldn't use such treasures.
Now that they had obtained the ninth treasure vault, the monsters were overjoyed and didn't ask for more. They also knew that one treasure vault was better than another. Because someone needed to complete the ninth stage, the monsters living here were so 'enthusiastic' about guiding the way. This was also their benefit.
Tang Shidao wasn't in a hurry to open the treasures. He only told the elders that the army outside was developing the forest.
The elders thanked Tang Shidao for the reminder.
They replied that the possibility of that happening was low. Because the Thunderwing Gorillas were stationed on the surface. These flying apes were their allies. One side was on the surface, and the other was underground. They helped each other in attack and defense. The Thunderwing Gorillas provided shelter for the underground monsters, and the underground monsters provided the Thunderwing Gorillas with the opportunity to 'learn.' Now, there was a group of Thunderwing Gorillas in the underground world learning.
Tang Shidao asked if it was possible to live peacefully with the mages.
The elders replied that they hoped to have such an opportunity. Because they knew the importance of unity and cooperation. In Nightmare Forest, the environment was the strongest, followed by the forest. They were the weakest layer. They hoped to change this situation, to be able to control their own destiny and develop their race smoothly.
Tang Shidao felt that they weren't bellicose.
Because the environment was too harsh, they had to work hard to survive.
Compared to ancient human society, these underground monsters were like a group of scholars who were thrown into a group of 'bandits.' They yearned for a normal life. Evil Eye had left them a lot of relevant knowledge, but they still couldn't learn everything. They couldn't be as peaceful as the mages' war fortress.
The elders didn't hide anything. Many of the mechanisms here were maintained by the monster workers.
Hearing this, Tang Shidao wasn't surprised.
The Internet era he lived in didn't have full intelligent production. A place like the Forbidden Land couldn't be played without workers.
At this point.
Tang Shidao decided to finish what Evil Eye had left unfinished … Tang Shidao asked the elders if they could reach an alliance with the mages to conquer and use this Nightmare Forest together.
The elders were pleasantly surprised. They asked Tang Shidao to stay for half a day and invited the representative of the Thunderwing Gorillas over.
Both sides gave Tang Shidao a token.
One was the token of the underground world, and the other was the token of the Thunderwing Gorillas. With these two things, the holder could freely enter and leave their territory, including leading a small team. If Tang Shidao succeeded in convincing the mages, the two races would agree to join the alliance and develop Nightmare Forest together.
After obtaining the two tokens, Tang Shidao knew that the matter was done.
The thing mages loved the most was' education. '
Or rather.
The mages didn't think that the void beasts were enemies, but just a group of creatures that couldn't be communicated with. As long as they were willing to cooperate, the mages wouldn't resist cooperating with any creature. In the Mage Net, there were humans, orcs, demons, and dragons. Its model was infinitely inclusive. Now that there was a group of void beasts willing to 'civilize', the mages nearby couldn't refuse.
Did they need to worry that the void beasts would turn hostile immediately after becoming smart?
Hehe.
The mages were never afraid of anyone!
Not to mention the ordinary void beasts, even if the dragons or demons turned hostile, they wouldn't be afraid!
After the conversation.
The group of elders retreated.
Tang Shidao opened the giant box and obtained a spell sealing bottle and a pile of refining letters. The spell was Evil Eye's final trump card: Great Replacement! With this reward, Tang Shidao now had a total of five major spells. The refining letters were Evil Eye's final research. Now he could only memorize it in his heart and burn it with the black flames. He would slowly study it when he experimented in the future.
After bidding farewell to the underground elders, Tang Shidao followed the Thunderwing Titan's representative back to the surface to find the Thunderwing Titan's Beast King to talk again.
The result was surprising.
The Thunderwing Titan King, whose strength was off the charts, also longed for a life of 'order'.
In its opinion.
The void creatures had lived for so long that even their survival was difficult to guarantee. The mages hadn't been here for long, but they still carefully developed and soon expanded. It was clear at a glance who was superior and who was inferior. Although the Thunderwing Titan clan was powerful, they weren't bellicose. They weren't the kind of brainless savage beasts that only thought about 'eating' and 'destroying'.
It even said that there were many smart beasts in the forbidden land who didn't want to fight the mages. It wouldn't benefit anyone.
Tang Shidao could understand.
The mages weren't considered invaders. Most mages were just 'curious' about what the unknown area was like. When faced with resistance, the mages certainly wouldn't be so cowardly as to say 'sorry, I'm just passing by'. The Thunderwing Titan knew that the mages didn't destroy or kill, so it was normal for them to want to cooperate.
Under the escort of the Thunderwing Titan.
It didn't take long for Tang Shidao to meet the mage legion's sentinel team.
The group returned to the legion's camp.
Tiger Shadow and Dragon Fang rushed over immediately. They had been worried for a while. Fortunately, the owl had the record of 'missing for ten years' last time, or they would have gone crazy. Back at the barracks, a group of mages heard that the underground world's exotic beasts and the Thunderwing Titan wanted to cooperate, and everyone agreed.
Tang Shidao was still a little confused.
Dragon Fang, however, laughed. "Owl, don't you know? Many of the beast soldiers in the war fortress are exotic beasts themselves. For example, crows and intelligence bugs are native exotic beasts. Which of the smarter races doesn't desire stability and order? Adult exotic beasts may be bellicose, but what about cubs? They always have to think about their descendants. "
Tang Shidao truly understood. Things weren't as troublesome as he thought, and the hostility between the two sides wasn't as serious as he thought.
After all, the forbidden land was different from other places.
Food was also a difficulty here … Except for the forbidden land, there was no need to worry about food in any place where magic could be used, which showed how troublesome this place was.
Next.
The nearby city lords sent representatives for a meeting, including the mages outside the net and the exotic beasts of the alliance, to discuss the territorial demarcation. Under Tang Shidao's introduction, Tiger Shadow received a letter from the Thunderwing Titan to communicate with this combat tribe on behalf of the mages. Dragon Fang was a refiner and was more interested in the underground world. It received the token of the underground exotic beasts and stayed to live in the underground world.
In addition to studying the mechanisms left behind by the Evil Eye, it also acted as a mentor to guide the civilization of the underground exotic beasts.
In the hustle and bustle.
Half a month later, things were smoothly concluded.
It would take a long time to conquer the Nightmare Forest, but things would be much smoother with cooperation. Tang Shidao rushed to the tenth station alone. When he heard that the owl had come, the city lord of the tenth station immediately summoned him. Tang Shidao stated the requirements for 'graduation', and the city lord of course immediately handled it. Coming to the tenth station was already qualified, not to mention the owl, who was a little celebrity.
It took more than half a month to decline the invitation to stay at the tenth station.
Finally.
Tang Shidao successfully graduated from the forbidden land and returned to the Mage Net library.
At this moment.
Tang Shidao felt as if he had taken off the shackles on his body, and his whole person was different. Without the restrictions of the forbidden land, he was now more like a mage. Although he didn't lack combat power in the Magic Forbidden Land, he still felt as if he had undergone a drastic change after returning.
It was as if he originally had something, then lost it, and then found it again.
"Young man, looking at your expression, you went to the forbidden land?" The scarecrow's cheap voice sounded.
"I just graduated."
"Not bad, you are worthy of the title of the number one master. By the way, your friend, the green-eyed fox, left you a message. "
"Do I need 1 mana point?" Tang Shidao asked.
"No, your friend paid in advance, and I am happy to accept it. Let's get to the point, this message is: Light Spirit Continent, Butterfly. "
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"Where is the Light Spirit Continent?"
"1 mana point."
