In the underground city, the battle in the plaza had ended. The team stopped temporarily to rest the injured, and the Wizards resumed their meditation.
However, there was a strange atmosphere in the team.
Everything originated from the tent where Kevin and his daughter were staying. Whether it was Blue Void or the few remaining Great Wizards, all of them kept their attention on Kevin's tent from time to time.
The greatest treasure had been snatched away by that evil White Dragon, and the rest did not even get a single benefit. One could imagine how complicated their feelings were. However, they did not dare to voice their anger because of Garon's overwhelming power.
Inside the tent.
Garon was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the empty space. Kevin and his daughter Maria stayed obediently at the side, preparing food and drinks for him.
"So, in the few years you've been here, other than some Undead materials, the only treasure you've encountered is a Pearl of the Temple?" Garon said casually, speechless.
"Indeed," Kevin smiled bitterly.
"This underground city is too big," Maria argued softly.
"It's true that it's big …" Garon also felt that this underground city was not simple. It even had a Pearl of the Temple condensed by a Demigod. The waters here were a little deep …
He did not want to continue getting involved.
However, he thought about the Wizard Tower that was still far away due to its price. If he wanted to break through to Level Five Arcana, he would need the Wizard Tower to conduct isolated research, and borrow the Wizard Tower's power to conduct research on jumping to other planes. That would consume a huge amount of money soon. Perhaps this underground city was an opportunity for him to spend that much money.
"I want you to accompany me to a place," Garon suddenly said.
As soon as he spoke, Kevin and his daughter instantly knew where he was going. They had also heard a little of the conversation between Garon and the Undead Butcher just now.
"Aren't we a little too weak?" Kevin was helpless.
"Too weak, but with this team's protection, it shouldn't be a big problem," Garon said drily. "I'm sure this team would be happy to go to a place with great treasure to excavate."
He needed to understand the situation with the treasure as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the summoning time was up, he might be sent back directly. When that time came, it was really unknown whether this team would accept his summons again.
"That shouldn't be a problem." Kevin thought that other people wouldn't reject hearing about the treasure.
Since the decision had been made, Kevin represented Garon and went out to negotiate with Blue Void and the others. They did not say much, and Blue Void had clearly reached an agreement as well, agreeing right away.
After a short break, the team headed in the direction Garon had pointed out, with the Undead Butcher leading the way. The Undead Butcher actually had a pretty good ability: he could control a few high-level Vampires, and these high-level Vampires could indirectly control a large number of mid-level and low-level Undead. This was also the origin of the Undead that had besieged the camp earlier. Now, they had become the main force of the team to eliminate the surrounding hostile forces.
A large number of Undead were on guard all around. If there was a small-scale battle, there was no need for the people in the camp to make a move. If there were casualties, the Undead could be replenished through Mana Summons. This made the speed of the camp's advance more than double.
Without any hindrance, they headed straight for the place the Undead Butcher had mentioned.
At noon the next day, there was no light in the underground city. Only the mages' pocket watches could be used as a reference.
Blue Void and the rest of the team finally arrived before a huge black lake. The Undead Butcher stopped beside the lake, appearing to be hesitant.
"Master, it's just up ahead," he transmitted to Garon through the soul connection.
The black lake was surrounded by black mud. It was somewhat soft, and there were holes of various sizes everywhere. They seemed to have been dug out by some kind of insect, and looked a little like an ant's nest.
Garon flew out of the camp and landed beside the Undead Butcher, looking towards the lake.
"What a heavy Death Aura …" His heart sank slightly. Vaguely, he seemed to sense a faint energy fluctuation in the depths of the lake.
He looked into the distance with his dragon eyes, and saw that in the deepest depths of the lake, there was a faint ball of white light shooting up into the sky. That light traveled an unknown distance. Even Garon, who was standing beside the lake, felt like his skin was being burned.
"What a powerful energy!" He was slightly shocked. This energy fluctuation was definitely Level Nine.
"You guys stay here, I'll go take a look!" he said. As long as the giant dragon did not leave its contractor for more than a day, it was fine.
He flapped his wings and flew, his body instantly expanding. With a whoosh, he shot into the distance like lightning, flying towards the direction of the explosion.
He did not even wait for Blue Void, Kevin, and the others to respond before he disappeared.
The black lake was almost as vast as the ocean.
Garon flapped his wings and flew for several kilometers, but he still could not see the end. Below him was a lake of black mud-like water that swept past at high speed. It was thick and smelly.
However, as he got closer, he quickly saw the source of the fluctuation in the distance.
It was a huge four-tailed scorpion. It was waving its four spiked tails, standing together with a black-haired, purple-eyed young man.
The four-tailed scorpion was over a hundred meters long. Its four huge tails covered the sky and earth when they waved, leaving a huge crater wherever they touched.
The man held a huge sword in one hand, while his other hand burned with purple flames.
It was obvious that both of them were not moving fast. The man's face showed great fatigue. It was obvious that this battle had been going on for quite some time.
The huge sword could automatically extend and pierce, while the purple flames sometimes turned into a large net, sometimes into spears and javelins, constantly interfering with the scorpion from afar.
There was a giant beetle as large as an elephant lying next to the two of them. It had been dead for a long time. It was obviously the Earth Overlord that the Undead Butcher had mentioned …
The sound of Garon flapping his wings attracted the attention of both of them.
The four-tailed scorpion quickly retreated a few steps. It tried to flee towards the lake.
Bam!
Garon swooped over and hit the four-tailed scorpion with one wing. With a thunder-like crash, the four-tailed scorpion's seemingly huge body was sent tumbling. It rolled a few times on the ground before it got up dizzily, as if it was stunned.
"Where's the treasure? My treasure! " Garon stared at the two of them with his dragon eyes. These two fellows were obviously Level Nine, but they were exhausted from the long battle. It was the perfect time to take advantage of the situation.
"Treasure?" The man looked at him in confusion. "White Dragon, you came at the right time. Help me get rid of this guy and I'll reward you with a Level Eight Magic Core!"
The guy's purple flames flashed, and a clear purple holy emblem appeared in the air.
Garon looked at the holy emblem and felt his hair stand on end.
This guy was actually a God's Chosen!
He was most wary of things that were related to Gods.
God's Chosen might not be very strong, but they had a unique skill called God's Clone … In other words, they could summon a God's clone into their body at any time. It could temporarily raise their strength to the peak of the mortal world.
So no one was willing to provoke a God's Chosen, no matter how low their level was. And the person in front of him was at least a Level Nine God's Chosen. No one dared to provoke such an existence.
Encountering a God's Chosen, Garon had no choice. If he didn't want to offend the other party, he might as well help him. He was about to turn around and chase after the four-tailed scorpion. All of a sudden, he heard another familiar voice transmission.
"Help me! We're the same kind! You can't leave me to die!! "The four-tailed scorpion's sharp voice was like an awl piercing into Garon's brain.
This guy!!
Garon felt a headache coming on.
This four-tailed scorpion was actually a Void Creature, and a highly intelligent Void Demon King! He didn't expect to encounter a battle between a Void Creature and a God's Chosen in this underground city.
"You actually dared to kill the underground guard that my Lord placed here. Your crime is unforgivable!" The God's Chosen said imposingly.
He was obviously referring to the Earth Lord Beetle lying on the side. This guy actually had an Lord. Garon was glad that he didn't kill this guy first.
The problem now was how to deal with these two guys.
The four-tailed scorpion was obviously much stronger than the God's Chosen, but it was probably afraid that the other party would use his final trump card, God's Clone. So it was only thinking of running away.
Garon thought for a while and made up his mind. The huge dragon body directly pounced on the four-tailed scorpion.
"Damned blasphemer! Die for me! "
He pounced over with bared fangs and brandished claws, the huge dragon body viciously whipping out his tail …
Bang!!
The God's Chosen was caught off guard and was sent flying by the tail, falling into a temporary coma. Suddenly, Garon turned around and bit down on his waist. Crack!!
It was all over …
"You …!!" The God's Chosen's face of disbelief finally disappeared in Garon's white dragon breath. He didn't expect Garon to attack him.
"Hahaha! This guy stayed underground for too long, he didn't even have a basic sense of vigilance!! "The four-tailed scorpion laughed proudly.
"If he really is a Lower God's Chosen, you would be in big trouble. It's a pity that this guy is just an ordinary Holy Knight. He even dared to forge a holy emblem, he didn't know what was good for him. " Garon directly bit the guy's corpse into pieces and spat it out. He didn't want to eat people directly. Although he was the one who killed this guy, it was obvious that the God behind him wouldn't just let it go. There would be endless trouble in the future. But this was none of his business. Only God's Chosen could transmit the scene they saw before they died to the God. Ordinary Holy Knights could only achieve this effect through special means. But at that time, the pursuers were probably looking for this four-tailed scorpion that killed the Earth Lord.
"So what's next? I saved you, how will you repay me for saving your life? "Garon looked at the four-tailed scorpion.
As a Level Nine Colossal Dragon, Garen was confident that he could get rid of any non-Dragons who were of the same level as him without any difference between them. It wasn't just him, any dragon had the same confidence.
"My name is Meng Fei. I've lived here for thousands of years, I have a large tribe under me. What do you want in return?" The four-tailed scorpion began to negotiate. "You and I are both creatures of the Void Mother Stream, you should know about the plan to lure the God, right? I can recommend you to my Monarch and let you participate in this plan. "
"Plan to lure the God?" Garon frowned.
"You don't know?" The four-tailed scorpion shouted exaggeratedly. This guy was so strong, but he didn't even know about such an important plan.
"Tell me about it." Garon glanced at the corpse of God's Chosen. After confirming that there were no other abnormalities, he calmed down.
Sooner or later, he would have to face the God. It didn't make much difference whether he killed it earlier or later, let alone a mere God's Chosen.
"Our Alliance has already joined forces with the Dragons of Disaster in this world. Using powerful mortal existences as a threat, we lure the incarnations of the Gods from the Heavenly Realm to the mortal world and then kill their incarnations to gradually weaken them. " The four-tailed scorpion gave a simple introduction. "The divinity obtained from killing the incarnations will be made into sacred-blood potions. I'm here because the treasures here will be used to create special traps."
"I haven't contacted the Alliance for a while." Garon explained. "So, you lured this guy here on purpose?"
"How is that possible!?" The four-tailed scorpion shouted, waving its pincers around in agitation. "I'm a non-combatant!"
"Dragons of Disaster?" Garon noticed this term again.
"Yes … The three great Dragons of Disaster led by Ann, Jessica, and Nuthi. Oh yes, if you participate, you can share the benefits of the sacred-blood potion. Do you want it? It's a sacred-blood potion that can strengthen the soul! "
