Chapter 278 Going and Returning, Frightened and Terrified
In mid-air, Wang Hui in [Disappearance Technique] state is floating here, looking down at the "Cylinder Mountain" below.
The high priest does not need to send a special person to deliver the message. He only needs to use the pothos root system to explore the deep underground passage, and soon the rat men who are on duty inside will come out.
[Black Bull] Extraordinary potion is put into a container made of rolled green radish leaves. Each one is about 200 ml (microscopic volume), so it is easy to carry it with you.
The tied green radish leaf containers were neatly stacked and carried into the tunnel by the rat people on small carts. According to the instructions of the high priest, they were stored in the underground cave near the western border to prepare for the war in the near future.
They are good at drilling holes to retrieve objects, so they naturally attach great importance to precautions in this area. The chief of the rat tribe, Jie Shurui, will personally go to guard the cave.
Coupled with the rotating garrison of multiple elite ratmen, this ensures that this important material will not be noticed by the enemy!
In mid-air, Wang Hui's eyes shimmered with gold and silver, and he had a panoramic view of the underground scene, and he couldn't help but admire it secretly.
The intricate tunnel network can play a very good role in intelligence communication, material transportation, covert mobilization of troops, etc.!
This was not part of the original plan ordered by Wang Hui. It was entirely High Priest Saliman's own idea. He must have been preparing for this major project many years in advance.
Wang Hui lowered his gaze and could see that the tunnels were dug very deep and were numerous in number. They were criss-crossing like a giant net that shrouded the Thunder Kingdom in reverse!
When it comes to digging tunnels, wizards who are good at earth magic can also do it, but if they want to realize such an exaggerated and stable large-scale underground project, they may not be able to complete it even if they struggle for a hundred years.
This requires a sufficient understanding of the Thunder Desert, precise layout planning, and long-term investment of a large amount of manpower and material resources...
Under the command of the high priest, the weak mice's unique digging ability and population advantage were fully utilized, and this underground miracle was created unknowingly by outsiders!
Wang Hui guessed that the high priest's move was to take advantage of the local characteristics of the Thunder Kingdom to expand the strategic space vertically to facilitate the fight against the powerful Kingdom of God.
What he didn't know was that the high priest had another reason for doing this. He had seen the terrifying strength of the "God of Heaven" many times and believed that the "God of Death" had no chance of winning, so he built a deep fortress underground in the Thunder Kingdom.
The consideration is that in case the God of Death is defeated, he can have a relatively safe place to stay...
If this was clear, Wang Hui would probably be dumbfounded.
It's just a right hand hitting a left hand. He shouldn't have disabled himself, right?
A mountain of [Black Bull] drink, it must have taken several days for the orcs to complete the packaging.
Wang Hui sensed from a distance that Justin's aura was still far away from here, and the feeling between the fusion beasts was not as strong as his own as the master, so the two could not meet in a short while.
"The foundation of the Kingdom of Thunder is too weak, and the Kingdom of Darkness is in disarray. It is impossible to compete with the Kingdom of God in the short term. Let's rely on extraordinary drinks to survive this wave of danger!
By then, the orc tribes will have a sense of crisis, and it will be more conducive for High Priest Saliman to integrate his forces for development, buy more time, and then slowly stalemate with the Kingdom of God, so as to ensure that I can provide efficient source of income..."
Wang Hui opened the [Dimensional Bag] and glanced at it. The shell of the giant bone egg inside had become very thin, and 99% of the nutrients had been absorbed by the undead dragon embryo inside.
It won’t take long for it to break out of its shell!
Wang Hui pondered for a moment, and instead of choosing to go to the island on the sea where he had previously experimented with the [Eternal Eye], he flew to the Kingdom of Darkness.
"This thing should be considered an unprecedented undead creature in the Gulf World. If it is too close to the Silver Moon Kingdom, it will be easily detected by the Holy Light Dragon. It is better to get it to the Dark Kingdom, which is more suitable for its development..."
With the blessing of the complete inheritance of sacred objects, the power of the rules of the Gulf World can no longer hinder Wang Hui in the slightest, and his flying speed is extremely fast.
The scenery below changed rapidly, from a vast desert to a gray-black land full of swamps in the blink of an eye!
There is still the plant smell of pothos in the air, so the swamp dragon must have flown here not long ago.
I don’t know if the high priest did it intentionally, but the dragon corpse flew back to the outside of the city of Solendan where it was buried, shocking some mercenaries who had the courage to come here to search for the leftover belongings!
"Dragon, dragon!"
"Could it be that the Great Witch of the Dead is back?"
"No, the swamp dragon doesn't have the aura of necromancy on it. Who is controlling it?"
Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the giant swamp dragon folded its wings and lay down, entering a "standby" state to save magic power. It would not wake up until the army of the Kingdom of God officially invaded the Kingdom of Darkness to fight.
The mercenaries watched fearfully for a while, and when they saw no sign of movement from the dragon corpse, they gradually relaxed and continued their search.
A few of them who were bold approached the giant swamp dragon and wanted to pick up some dragon scales, dragon bones and other top-quality materials, but the latter suddenly stretched out its claws to grab it and stuff it into its mouth!
"ah--"
The screams were accompanied by a numbing "click" sound, and several mercenaries were all chewed to pieces. The remaining limbs were wrapped in the green radish branches inside the dragon's body, secreting juice and digesting it into magic power for storage.
"That plant spell...is the High Priest of Thunder!"
Thanks to the sacrifices of these warriors, the nearby mercenaries saw the digestion process of the dragon corpse, and their expressions changed drastically.
The Swamp Dragon has indeed changed hands!
Does this mean that the Great Witch of the Dead is really dead as rumored?
But why did the Orc Legend, the only remaining one of the four top powerhouses, not go south to capture the chaotic Kingdom of Darkness after taking control of the swamp dragon? What did he want to do by letting the dragon stand by here...
Not far away, six knights in dark red heavy armor looked at each other, and someone asked: "Captain, should we continue..."
On the horse held by six people, many packages of property collected in the city were hung.
"Go on, or can you contribute to next month's meal money?"
Captain Azin opened his helmet visor, his depressed face full of helplessness: "We [Thorn of Roses] are also a well-known mercenary team, but now we are reduced to searching for dead people...
Without support from the nobles of Stormwind Kingdom, life would be difficult!"
Hearing this, one of the team members muttered: "Actually, the food money alone doesn't cost much. If you didn't have to change your female companion every day and drink good wine, we wouldn't have spent so much..."
"The money you make is meaningless if you don't use it to enjoy it!"
Azin spoke seriously, urging the team members to bypass the swamp dragon and continue looking for valuable things.
Mercenary teams like them are dangerous "social idlers" in the territory under the Kingdom of God. After all, a large number of old nobles have been purged, and the public security everywhere is stable. There is not much "dark work" for them to do.
It was better for the young mercenaries at the bottom to change their profession, but gold-level and above teams such as [Rose Thorns] have long been accustomed to the chaotic and bloody days. They really couldn't stop, so they simply came to the turbulent Kingdom of Darkness to try their luck.
