Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 214 Rectification
Of course, while I was delighted with the initial success, I did not act arrogantly and underestimate the Hell Dragon Clan. The idea was beautiful, but things needed to be done step by step. Let's not waste time now. It's just a promising lower-level tenth-level Hell Dragon. There is still a difficult road to grow into a fully mature body, initiate a promotion challenge, and successfully evolve to the middle-level tenth level. It is impossible to achieve it overnight. What's more, I still lack sufficient strength now - I borrowed two pieces of equipment to increase the success rate of the "Soul Contract" and used the pseudo-artifact "Soul Collection Finger" to barely subdue a lower-level tenth-level Hell Dragon. I also need to leave a "Soul Collection Finger" to subdue the newly discovered tenth-level undead in the Lost Continent. It is impossible to put all of them into the "Hell Volcano". Anyway, the Hell Dragon Clan is gathered here and will not leave. There are no other undead wizards competing with me for the right to subdue, so I can't be too eager for quick success. I just need to do my best to protect the foothold of Let'diva, focus on training it, and further accelerate its growth. After I advance to the ninth-level profession and improve my basic mental strength again, I can expand it on a large scale, and I can conquer more Hell Dragons relatively easily.
In the sacrificial area allocated to the tenth-level lower-level Hell Nether Dragon, there are two "magma holes|mouths" that spew out the most abundant fire attribute energy, far higher than other "magma holes|mouths", which are specially allocated to them. It is said that it has reached the level of the tenth-level intermediate area. The lower-level Hell Nether Dragons occupying these two Feng Shui treasures have a more sufficient supply of fire attribute energy, which can grow to a fully mature body faster and launch a challenge to advance to the tenth-level intermediate. The competition is naturally the most intense. After all, as long as they can successfully evolve to the tenth-level intermediate, they can get rid of Hades' direct jurisdiction and enjoy greater freedom. Regardless of their rank, the Hell Nether Dragon clan is arrogant and proud. They are naturally unwilling to be inferior to others and work like slaves for others. They all have a strong desire to improve themselves. If Let'diva wants to evolve to the intermediate level ten as soon as possible, it must occupy one of the "magma caves". Unfortunately, its current strength is not enough. Even with me, without the help of other subordinates in the specific "decisive battle space", the role it can play is limited. It will not be a match for the two Hell Dragons that are likely to be about to reach full maturity. It can only develop normally for now.
Subduing a Hell Dragon is also good news for Shaman, which can bring him a lot of help. He is now an upper-level vampire fang marquis of level 8. When he is free, he soaks in the "blood pool" from time to time, desperately absorbing the essence of blood. In addition, he has excellent innate qualifications and grows very fast. He is close to maturity and will soon be qualified to initiate a promotion challenge and evolve into a higher-level vampire fang duke. In fact, although the vampire fang race has a promotion challenge system, the lower-level can challenge and kill the upper-level to obtain a level upgrade and have the opportunity to evolve in a different way, but under normal circumstances, such a challenge is almost impossible to win. After all, there is at least a difference of two levels between the two titles, and there is a big gap in strength, which cannot be easily made up. Unless you are very lucky, the superior chosen to challenge is a newly promoted vampire fang who cannot fully exert his due strength, or suffers from a serious injury that cannot be healed, which affects his own strength. Because of these accidents, the superior lacks the due strength, and the inferior has the opportunity to win the challenge and replace him to become the new superior. However, this is a special case that can only be encountered by chance. Vampire fangs are a kind of undead who like to hide and live alone. They lack contact and understanding with each other. Before the challenge, no one knows the opponent 's true and false, what kind of state and strength they have. Therefore, the number of vampire fangs that have been successfully promoted to the title is very small, which gives the inferiors the temptation to try their best to grow, but does not disrupt the balanced development of the vampire fang clan due to the frequent changes of titles. Without the existence of those old guys, the overall strength is weakened. Especially, we necromancers do not have enough patience to wait for too long. We have to try our best to improve the strength of our vampires and search for a superior with weakened strength to increase the success rate of the promotion challenge. Under the premise that we cannot directly intervene in the challenge, we can only find another way and use other unconventional means to limit the performance of the superior and help our subordinates to be promoted.
I have already sold the copyright of the "Dragon Power" method I invented to assist in the promotion to a noble title. Anyway, I am not the only smart person. Sooner or later, there will be an undead wizard who will come up with it. It is more cost-effective to exchange it for some actual benefits as soon as possible instead of cherishing it. Those undead wizards who have conquered both vampire fangs and bone dragons basically use this method to help their vampire fangs to be promoted to a noble title, but they are not as good as me. My bat man and bat woman actually gave birth to a mutant offspring, and the bat demon Tika was asking for something from me, so I happily gave him a "first embrace" and he was born as a vampire fang count. The titles of the conquered vampire fangs are relatively low, and they were conquered late, so relying on the "Dragon Power" of the white bone dragon or even the green bone dragon is effective. The Vampire Fang Duke is at least at the middle level of level nine. It is said that some elites with pure blood can even reach the upper level of level nine. It is probably not safe to use the upper level of level nine black bone dragons. Only the "dragon power" of the tenth level hell dragon or the abyss dragon can suppress them and help them secretly, causing some negative effects on them. Now that Letediwa has finally been subdued, although it is only at the lower level of level ten, the super existence of level ten is a shock to the lower level undead, and the effect will not be too small. At least it can let Shaman get familiar with and adapt to the "dragon power" of the hell dragon, eliminate his own adverse reactions, and prepare for the possible promotion challenge in the near future.
I returned to the top of the mountain with Light Drift and Khufu, met Hades, and officially declared the end of this "Hell Dragon Challenge". Although I lost both my wife and my army, my strength was further enhanced. Hades did not show any abnormality on the surface and seemed very calm, but from the look he occasionally gave me, I felt that he was more cautious of me. Fortunately, there were two upper-level tenth-level Hell Dragons that had grown into fully mature bodies and could challenge his throne at any time, which distracted most of his attention and prevented him from paying more attention to me. Otherwise, I am afraid that I might not have developed so smoothly, and there might be more twists and turns. Hades must have known that Light Drift had signed a "soul contract" with me, and his service was still above his kingship. He took obedience to my orders as his first principle and was no longer his confidant. Therefore, he was very cold to Light Drift and did not say much. He let him return to the "magma cave" he occupied to recuperate and treat his injuries. Khufu also has full immersion qualifications. Like Guben, he can no longer participate in the "Hell Dragon Challenge". Moreover, because he is an alien volcanic undead, he defeated the Hell Dragon in the challenge and has evolved into the top pharaoh of the mummy clan. Therefore, he has the same rights as the lower-level Hell Dragon of level 10. He can pass through the "lava hole" at the core of the "Hell Magma Pool" and enter the habitat of the lower-level Hell Dragon of level 10. Occupy a "magma hole|mouth" to absorb fire attribute energy, further accelerate his own growth, and enter the ranks of the ruling class of the "Hell Volcano" from a low-status alien in one fell swoop. This is what the alien volcanic undead such as Kekexili and Guben have been striving for. They do not have the ambition and corresponding strength to overthrow the rule of the Hell Dragon clan. They only hope to get rid of the oppression and discrimination and enjoy greater freedom and equality.
This was a bit beyond my expectation. I didn't expect there would be such a benefit. It was really killing two birds with one stone. Hades didn't say it clearly when he announced the "Hell Dragon Challenge". I don't know if Hades deliberately concealed it or thought that I and my men couldn't defeat the tyrannical Hell Dragon. And after my questioning, I learned that Khufu also had the right to seize the "magma cave mouth" with more abundant fire energy through the challenge. In this way, Khufu can not only further accelerate the speed of strength improvement, but also have a chance to become the Pharaoh. He can also help each other with Let's Ivoire and echo each other. The two of them should not be bullied by other lower-level Hell Dragons of level ten. I felt Hades's weak, slightly unhappy and helpless expression when he answered. It seems that I really made a profit and brought it a lot of trouble.
In the next few days, I still did not leave the "Hell Volcano". After all, I had just conquered Let'div and Khufu had also arrived in a new environment. Facing my threat, I wondered if Hades would come up with any more conspiracies and tricks to plot against me. The injuries they suffered after the battle had not yet recovered, so I had to be more careful and cautious. At the same time, I had been busy in the Lost Continent for the past few months and had not managed the affairs of the "Hell Volcano". Without supervision and supervision, the volcano subordinates I conquered were a little slack. I asked them to work hard to find the "Millennium Fire Lotus" and "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" and other natural treasures, but they were not working hard. So far, there has been no significant progress, and the results are pitifully small, which is not commensurate with my position in the "Hell Volcano". It is time to take time to properly rectify them, give them the necessary spurs, and let me do my best to search. "Millennium Fire Lotus" and "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" can not only quickly increase the fire attribute energy reserves of lower-level volcanic undead and speed up their growth, but I also learned from Let's Ivoire that they have a new use - for super-strong volcanic undead like the Hell Dragon that has reached level 10, even the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" can only provide limited fire attribute energy, which cannot make them grow significantly, but it can replenish a large amount of fire attribute energy in a short period of time, and it is generated in the body. Relying on the strong physique and ability of the Hell Dragon, it can quickly convert this energy into its own mental power. If taken during combat, it is equivalent to greatly improving the ability to fight for a long time, and the effect is very significant. In the history of challenges, there have been examples of low-level Hell Dragons defeating high-level opponents by swallowing such natural treasures in the promotion challenge and eventually winning. It's a pity that the Hell Dragon is alone and has no subordinates who directly obey their orders. It is difficult to find the "Millennium Fire Lotus" and "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" in such a large "Hell Volcano" unless you are very lucky; the Hell Dragon King, as the actual ruler with supervisory power, is restricted by relevant rules and cannot take them himself, nor can he actively provide them to others. We, the necromancers, naturally don't have this trouble. Whether it is for the evolution of Kekexili and Guben, or the challenge of Let's Ivoire and Khufu, with the help of "Millennium Fire Lotus" or "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal", it will be twice the result with half the effort, which makes me even more tempted. Moreover, Hades has been restrained by the two upper-level tenth-level Hell Dragons who may challenge the throne at any time. He has no extra energy to use his abilities to interfere with the search operations of the alien volcano undead under my command. The hope of finding the "Millennium Fire Lotus" and "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" has increased a lot. I can't let this opportunity slip away easily. I personally supervised the battle and asked my low-level subordinates to conduct a carpet search on the "Hell Volcano" to try to gain something.
The volcano was mobilized. Under my personal command, almost all the volcano spirits were involved in the search operation, which was carried out in pieces to improve efficiency and show great enthusiasm. Perhaps Hades was really in intermittent hibernation, trying his best to adjust and maintain the best state to cope with possible challenges, and did not take my actions into consideration. I carefully directed my men to search for five days and swept the surface of the "Hell Volcano". I actually found two "Thousand-Year Fire Lotuses" and one "Ten Thousand-Year Fire Crystal", which was equal to the total amount of harvest before, which really gave me a surprise. I also took the opportunity to sign a "Soul Contract" with more volcano spirits, further expanding my power in the "Hell Volcano" and becoming a veritable "uncrowned king". I wanted to compete with Hades and gradually disintegrate its rule from the grassroots level. However, I don't know whether Hades was distracted and interfered with my men's search again, causing them to unconsciously miss some treasures, or whether there were only so many treasures on the surface, and the rest were hidden in the depths of the volcano, requiring greater patience and more time to find, and there was no harvest. Letediwa and Hufu have also recovered from their injuries. They still need to strengthen their own strength for the time being. It is not the time to launch a challenge. At the same time, they are concerned about increasing their seniority and reaching the standard for promotion to the ninth-level profession as soon as possible. Therefore, they dare not delay too long in the "Hell Volcano". I ordered all the Volcano subordinates to continue to search for the "Millennium Fire Lotus" and the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal". I left the "Hell Volcano" and returned to the Lost Continent. At the same time, I continued to find trouble with those bright players in the human world. This is the fastest way to earn seniority. While the reputation of the evil is getting more and more popular and attracting countless scolding, the seniority is also slowly increasing, approaching the full quota of 100%.
As for the two "Thousand-year Fire Lotus" and one "Ten Thousand Year Fire Crystal" treasures that have been found, I did not give them to the volcano subordinates to swallow. Kekexili has already taken a "Ten Thousand Year Fire Crystal", and it will evolve in a few months. What Taotao lacks at present is the balance of the corresponding dark attribute energy and the fire attribute energy that has been absorbed in the body, so there is no need to use them. Guben soaks in the "Hell Magma Pool" every day. With its physique, the fire attribute energy absorbed is almost enough, and swallowing it will not have much effect. The strength of the other volcanic undead is quite different. Taking it will not have an immediate effect. It feels a bit of a waste. At present, the main task is to advance to the ninth-level profession. I don’t want to cause any trouble. Anyway, it won’t be ineffective. Keep them for the time being and wait for me to think it over and have a proper plan before using them.
I was busy earning experience points and working hard for my goal of advancing to the ninth level of my profession when I suddenly received a system notification asking me to go to the "Castle of the Dead" in the western continent. Needless to say, it must be another urgent and important mission, which usually brings good benefits and rich profits. I didn't dare to delay and hurried over.
I hurried along the way. As long as I didn't encounter a large-scale NPC patrol, the general team of bright players, even if they were large in number, would not take the initiative to trouble me - it was difficult to kill me, an escape expert, and the pursuit would only be a useless effort and would not achieve any results. I successfully arrived at the "Undead Castle" within the limited time. When I walked in, I saw that it was full of black people. Not only me, but also well-known powerful undead wizards such as Qiu Shui Changtian, Qing Wu Fei Yang, and Tian Xing were present. There were at least two or three hundred people. I was stunned for a while when I saw it. What is this going to make us do? Start a war? Why summoned so many powerful undead wizards?
The main character was the old man again. I don't know if it's because I've been involved in difficult missions recently, but I seem to have to deal with him quite often. I see him almost every time I accept a mission. But this time, although he showed a gentle smile as before, his expression seemed quite heavy, as if something very big had happened. "Hello, fellow necromancers! I don't need to introduce myself. You all registered and changed your job through me. I think you will not forget that I am the god of death who controls the dark undead power. I have summoned you three hundred of the best new generation necromancers in the world so far because I have an urgent and important task that must be assigned to you. It concerns the rise and fall of the 'Dead Space' and the honor and disgrace of the necromancer profession. I hope that you elites can shoulder the heavy responsibility, dare to step forward, and organize and lead all the necromancers to complete this difficult task that will be assigned to you."
