Chapter 109: Chapter 108: I’m Not as Good as This Enemy Today (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

Adventurers had no regrets, at most they had just been unable to uncover the full scale of the underground city, unable to return alive, leaving behind a few concubines to mourn their loss.
“I will unveil the full extent of the underground city for you.”
Mu Yuan slightly touched his finger, pondering.
This was clearly an ancient civilization site and its area was countless times larger than the ancient tower. Even though most of the area inside had decayed or been abandoned, there might be something to excavate, right?
There was no map in the adventurer’s diary, but since he had been seriously injured and was captured by the Crypt Tribe, it meant the distance wouldn’t be too far.
The exploration by General Dead Bone began.
He was very cautious, even ten times more cautious than before. He only managed to explore over a thousand meters in half an hour.
Mu Yuan:”…”
He knew that Dead Bone was wary of the Earth Rock Dragon mentioned in the diary.
The Earth Rock Dragon was not a real giant dragon, but a creature with the word ‘dragon’ in its name was extraordinary nonetheless. At the same level, it could easily crush other monsters, let alone, the Earth Rock Dragon might not only be at the Professional level.
In the Crypt Tribe, the two Dark Night Stalkers were seemingly crushed into paste without any resistance, which was enough to reveal the terror of the Earth Rock Dragon.
Dead Bone’s caution was justified.
Like this, they searched from day to night.
Outside the Mage Tower where Mu Yuan was located, the night had fallen. He could vaguely look into the distance to see the houses that had been built, and the scattered lights from the oil lamps dispelled the darkness and brought warmth.
But in the Camera Bird’s view, the underground world remained unchanged, with only faint light in the dim environment.
There was no difference between day and night here.
After searching for several more hours, they had toppled many monsters, found a monster camp far away but did not capture it… The indefatigable Skeleton Warriors, their soul flames in their skull grew slightly dimmer.
A resentful spirit hung upside down on a stalactite, its faint red eyes taking in the giant shadow resting on the lower and open terrain in the distance.
Soon, a Camera Bird, under Mu Yuan’s control and Hong Yi’s assistance, stealthily arrived at the spot, its sharp eyes locking onto the distant giant shadow.
This was a crawling dragon species, seeming like a giant lizard that had been magnified hundreds of thousands of times.
It had rock-like brown skin, a body length of probably more than ten meters, extremely strong and bulging muscles in its limbs, and it made thunderous snoring sounds during its rest. The loud noise echoed in the quiet underground space, lingering for a long time.
Mu Yuan noticed that this open space was filled with conspicuous red fog.
Ominous red fog!
In fact, since the day the sky turned red, even after the end of the Lord Trial and the dawn light fell, there were occasional strands of red fog wafting in the field, as if the red fog was becoming a normal occurrence.
But here was different, the red fog here was denser, half obfuscating the body of the Earth Rock Dragon.
“It’s the Root of Corruption indeed, but why is there only one monster around the Root of Corruption?”
“Perhaps the Root of Corruption hasn’t been there for a long time? It’s not mentioned in the diary.”
He waited a while longer, and soon there were monsters emerged from the distance with a splash.
It was a group of Cave’s people.
These Cave’s people were hunched, holding crude spears, and compared to Little Skeleton, they were Young Dragons and Phoenixes. Among the Cave’s people, one of them had spikes on its back, was holding a red long spear, and under its hunched body were bulging strong muscles, seemingly containing explosive power. Furthermore, there was a thin red energy mist surrounding it. From its appearance, it seemed to be a stronger one among the Cave’s people. Their arrival attracted the attention of the Earth Rock Dragon. This colossal creature slowly stood up, its brown yellow vertical pupils opened, like a yellow moon hanging in the dark, but a pitch-black sword was plunged into it.
It dispersed a terrifying and deep aura.
Targeting the Cave’s people who stepped into the Land of Filth, the Earth Rock Dragon slapped.
The stronger Cave’s person let out a sharp scream, the red long spear in its hand radiated even more intense and sharp blood light, and a faint red flame burned on its body, stirring up invisible wind in the silent underground.
It seemed to want to dodge to the side, but the ground suddenly sunk, and the surrounding Cave’s people tumbled down, their bodies were squashed flat on the ground, crushed into a paste by an invisible force amidst the “crack cracksound of bones breaking.
The strongest of the cave’s people didn’t fall, but stumbled a little. In the next instant, a massive paw swiped down, and the entire underground space shuddered slightly.
And all that was left of the strongest of the cave’s people was a meaty pulp.
Mu Yuan finally understood why the speed-famed Dark Night Stalkers met such a tragic death.
“It’s gravity, likely the natural talent of the Earth Rock Dragon.” “Its level is preliminarily judged as ‘early elite-level’; however, it is a uniquely gifted sub-dragon species, extremely mighty.”
“Dead Bone, what do you think?”
Dead Bone, suppressing the eager Bone Two from charging impulsively, pondered for a while and ultimately shook his head, “I am not ready today.” It wanted to meet its lord’s expectations, but it wouldn’t act recklessly, undertaking things it was unsure of. Because if they were to start a fight and fail to take down this Earth Rock Dragon, their territory would suffer significant losses.
It would be better to delay for a little while.
Mu Yuan was not in a rush, he was only interested in hearing Dead Bone’s analysis.
He understood the unspoken words – today it was not possible, but perhaps in a few to several days it would be – with the ongoing benefits from the Skeleton Cemetery, Dead Bone’s current efficiency in absorbing Soul Sand was extremely high, almost equivalent to constantly using high-grade cultivation aids.
Then, by further practicing and refining their skills, and commanding Bone Two and the other skeletons to perform a just bout of pummeling, it might just be possible to take the Earth Rock Dragon down.
The most important fact was that General Dead Bone could now evolve.
However eager Mu Yuan was for the evolution, he had to wait for Dead Bone s return.
He could remotely ’evolve at the touch’, bestowing the baptismal light onto his forces, but he was unable to do so from dozens of miles away.
He pulled open a drawer, retrieved a rudimentary map and marked a red ‘X’ in the approximate position to denote the formidable foe, the Earth Rock Dragon. Only by defeating the Earth Rock Dragon would he be able to glimpse the splendor of the underground city.
Otherwise, even if he had the ability to circumvent it, he would not do so.
While waiting for Dead Bone’s return and with other forces either resting or cultivating during this relatively leisure period, Mu Yuan opened the forum to soothe his mind.
However, as soon as he opened it, he saw a pinned post.
‘An investigation and research analysis of the appearance frequency of the Land of Filth…1
This seemed to be members of the official ‘Pioneer Group’, who had gathered countless data and quoted numerous obscure theories and documents.
Hence, Mu Yuan skipped to the conclusion at the end of the post.
“The appearance frequency of the Land of Filth has significantly increased?” “Ah, isn’t that quite good, the Land of Filth can burst out coins!
A lord spoke enthusiastically, itching to form a group for purification. This opinion received widespread agreement, as they had always hoped to discover the Land of Filth in the past. Sometimes, when two lords discovered the Root of Corruption simultaneously, they would have to conduct a ’Battle Will’ contest to decide who held the purification rights for the Root.
However, there were some more experienced lords frowning, “This might suggest that the world is becoming more polluted. When the tidal wave arrives, it might be even more dangerous than before. Don’t you newbies forget, as lords, we face the imminent threat from the tidal wave all the time. It’s far more terrifying than what you encounter in the newbie trial.”
Nonetheless, there was no big concern at present.
A top-ranked new lord declared that he was already making preparations to conquer the Monster Tribe. In just about ten days or half a month at the most, he would be able to seize the mighty Monster Tribe.
Someone even revealed that the Lord of Wangba Territory had introduced the excellent-tier troop, the ‘Black Knight’, recruited and successfully tamed it. With full training, this Black Knight would be able to breakthrough to the professional-level in just seventeen to eighteen days, and reach elite-level in another two months.
That is to say, in a maximum of three months, Wangba Territory would be able to effortlessly conquer elite-level monsters, even if they were the bosses amongst the elite monsters. In just four months, Wangba Territory would be able to rival what many people had strived for over ten or more years.
“This is the charm of high-order troops. It makes me want to grind my teeth into dust!”
Great Lord Shepherd also felt a sense of urgency.
Apart from not having to retrain his trump card, and other than the fact that Lu Liu, Seventeen, Hong Yi and others were soon to be promoted to the excellent tier, and apart from the fact that Duo Lai was soon to advance to the late professional level, he really didn’t have too many advantages..
