Chapter 684: Giant Dragon Domain

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The crowd quickly understood the Giant Dragon Mountain Range’s general situation, thanks to the Corpse Wizard King’s explanation.

Most of the Giant Dragon Mountain Range’s natural resources were already exhausted by numerous major factions, and only a few natural resources were left. But this amount was low only in comparison to the wealth of resources in the Chaos Dimension. There were still many crystal mines, iron mines, and other natural resources here, and the Black Wood Domain next to the Giant Dragon Domain was fighting intensely to seize a Black Crystal Mine.

“Rodriguez, are there any Wanderer Camps or Wandering Castles in the vicinity?” Yang Ling asked the Corpse Wizard King next to him.

“The Giant Dragon Mountain Range has limited resources, which is why there aren’t any Wandering Castles here. Even Wanderer Camps are very rare.” After the Corpse Wizard King searched the two captives’ memories, he shook his head. “According to the captives’ memories, if we travel north for ten thousand miles or more, we will come across a simple Wanderer Camp. But it’s unclear whether there is anyone in it now...”

Ten thousand miles or more?

Yang Ling furrowed his brows and stood up. “Let’s go, and let’s set off promptly. Let’s see whether there is anything useful in that wanderer camp.”

The Golden Roc was very swift, and he could quickly cross ten thousand miles or more. But flying at full speed, he would emit intense Energy Ripples and leave distinct trails behind. They might catch the eye of attentive people. This was a foreign region, and the most important thing for them was hiding their tracks. This was why Yang Ling planned to fly with the crowd: so that their tracks wouldn’t be discovered by some sharp-eyed stranger. In any case, the crowd would soon manage to cross ten thousand miles or more.

If it was just some feudal lords or unknown small Divine Branches that set their eyes on them, that would still be manageable. But if they attracted the attention of hidden peerless powerhouses or the Chaos Dimension’s great factions, then they would surely invite unnecessary trouble.

“Lord, those are 500 God-Level giant dragons, why don’t we...?” The Corpse Wizard King made a throat-cutting gesture. He was eager to take action!

A large number of God-Level Experts and giant dragons had assembled in the valley. But most of them had just a Low-Level Deity’s power, and there was a large disparity in power between them and the Magical Beast Army. Even if they launched a surprise attack, the Magical Beast Army wouldn’t have enough power to quickly exterminate them. Still, the Corpse Wizard King was confident about defeating them one after the other by laying an ambush with the Magical Beast Army’s elites.

Putting aside everything else, if they could inflict heavy injuries upon 500 God-Level giant dragons, Yang Ling would get another strong force by taming them, and the Magical Beast Army’s power would be increased further. The Corpse Wizard King was the Magical Beast Army’s commander, and he wished even more anxiously than Yang Ling to quickly increase the Army’s power.

“Forget about it, and let’s go,” Yang Ling muttered to himself irresolutely for a moment, before he shook his head. He planned to seize this time to rush into the wanderer camp in the north.

Survival was the best argument. The Giant Dragon Domain had survived in the Giant Dragon Mountain Range for the longest time. Thus, its leader obviously had outstanding skills. The soldiers and giant dragons in the valley were likely just the tip of the iceberg, and great power was probably hiding behind them. Two young soldiers, cannon fodder really, could find out more about this, so Yang Ling didn’t want to antagonize this local tyrant before all the benefits were on the table.

Taming 500 God-Level giant dragons would be pretty good. But he didn’t have to intervene rashly for that. In addition, it wasn’t so easy to deal with a large number of God-Level Soldiers and God-Level giant dragons.

“Sigh! It’s a pity, if we could...” The Corpse Wizard King shook his head and quickly joined Yang Ling’s team. He’d discerned that Yang Ling had already made up his mind, so he said no more about it.

Swoosh!

The crowd was very swift, and they stayed close to the treetops as they flew toward the wanderer camp in the north. They didn’t attract the attention of the people in the valley, and they detoured around many mountains. They also flew over many rivers as they got closer to a high mountain that reached the clouds.

The first feeling they had upon reaching the Chaos Dimension was nothing other than shock at its large size.

There were mountain chains that extended forever in the distance, lush forests that stretched as far as the eye could see, vast plains, as well as innumerable basins, which seemed like hidden lands of peace and prosperity. On the way, the crowd saw innumerable towns and a large number of people.

In the Chaos Dimension, the Giant Dragon Domain was a byword for chaos and poverty. But its density of Magical Elements and resources was many times higher than that of Tailun Continent. On the way, the crowd saw many iron mines, sulfur mines, as well as top-notch woods. There was really an inexhaustible supply of resources!

“Stop! You should all stop!”

After the crowd detoured around a mountain, they were about to speed up and proceed toward the wanderer camp in the north. But a team of soldiers dressed in scarlet battle armor rushed suddenly out of the forest. They had 200 soldiers, and only some of them had the Domain-Level’s power. Most of them had a Low-Level Deity’s power and the leader even had a High-Level Deity’s power. His body emitted intense Energy Ripples and he blocked the crowd’s path with a group of soldiers.

“Sir, we are just a group of wanderers passing through. I wonder, why did you block our path so suddenly?” The Corpse Wizard King had rich experience, and he went to greet the soldiers without waiting for Yang Ling’s instructions. He wore an amiable smile across his face, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

After the great increase of the team’s power, even the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ Abyssal Demon Teams wouldn’t dare obstruct them, yet this group of soldiers with a Low-Level Deity’s power was so bold as to block their paths. They were really courting death! Even if Yang Ling and the Golden Roc didn’t fight, the Corpse Wizard King was still confident that he could kill instantly most of the soldiers blocking the way with the Death Ripples.

His power was almost at the peak of the High-Level Deity’s power, and he had the Master Divine Weapon, Death Horn, as well as the powerful Magical Divine Ring. If he couldn’t kill even those reckless Low-Level Deity Soldiers, then he wouldn’t have the nerve to continue working as the Magical Beast Army’s commander.

“Ha, wanderers just passing through? Why don’t you take out your Wanderer Badge and let me have a look at it?” sneered a person that seemed like the team leader, coldly. His narrow eyes were squinted, and he had an aquiline nose, as well as thin lips. He looked very treacherous!

Wanderer Badge?

“Sir, we have just left our clan to travel, and we plan to look for a Wanderer Castle to register in it. We don’t have any Wanderer Badge for now. I’m so sorry!” Upon seeing the man’s cold smile, the Corpse Wizard King’s smile turned brighter, and his right hand quietly went to the Death Horn hanging on his waist.

“Hmph, I didn’t think that Black Wood Domain’s men like you are stupid. But you didn’t bring any Wanderer Badges, yet you still want to pose as wanderers and intrude into our mine to make inquiries. You are really stupider than Sharo Pigs.” The leader, Miller, was wearing scarlet armor. He snorted coldly and ordered the numerous soldiers to encircle Yang Ling’s team.

The Corpse Wizard King, Giant Ape King, and their companions had the Magical Divine Rings, and this was why they could hide their bodies’ Energy Ripples. On the surface, they didn’t seem any different than ordinary Low-Level Deities. In addition, only an expert specialized in the Soul Law, or a peerless expert at the same level as the Golden Roc, who could detect the Energy Ripples hidden by the Golden Roc and discover its real power. The real power of the Great Soul Wizard, Yang Ling, was even more difficult to discern.

Miller was a team leader, and he was quite experienced. But it was a pity that there was a large disparity between both sides’ power, and he couldn’t discern the real power of Yang Ling’s team. If he knew the terror of the Corpse Wizard King and his companions upon forming the Demon God Battle Formation, and if he knew that he was up against a Wandering Divine Beast such as the Golden Roc, he wouldn’t just be unable to fight, he might not even be able to keep standing and talking.

The ignorant are fearless!

Miller depended upon his status as team captain and the Giant Dragon Domain’s power to block the crowd’s path. He was as arrogant as usual, and he was unaware that he was near death’s door. Upon seeing that Yang Ling’s team didn’t resist them, he set his mind at ease and ordered the soldiers to lower the encirclement’s scope. He planned to capture several people and bring them back with him to get the reward.

The head of every Black Wood Domain’s soldier was worth 500 Black Crystals, and a live captive was worth even more. It seemed like Yang Ling’s team was scared, dumbfounded, and unable to fight back. This was why Miller rejoiced: he felt like he had already collected a large number of Black Crystals.

“Huh, top-notch Black Crystal Mine?”

Yang Ling was disinclined to pay heed to those reckless little men that blocked the road, and he spread out his great Divine Consciousness. He quickly discovered the Black Crystal Mine behind the mountain. Along the way, they had come across many Black Crystal Mines, but they had either been mined completely, and didn’t have any value left, or they were just small mines, which wouldn’t give them much profit even if they worked hard in them. This was why he didn’t have to fight over them!

He didn’t expect that he would inadvertently come across a top-notch Black Crystal Mine on their path north!

The Black Crystals were a currency used in all great Dimensions, and getting control of a top-notch Black Crystal Mine wasn’t any different than getting a mountain of gold. In addition, Black Crystals contained pure energy, and they could speed up one’s practice. They had a high value, and some excellent mines even had the priceless Black Crystal Marrow, which was yet more precious.

“Fine, let’s go.” Yang Ling looked at the numerous reckless soldiers and furrowed his brows. He instructed the Corpse Wizard King, Giant Ape King, and all the others calmly. He planned to rush out by force!

Black Crystal Mines were very rare. But Yang Ling wanted to quickly find a Star Indicator and the Ancient Wizard’s trails, as well as quickly find another Star Indicator which marked the Death Dimension. This was why, after Yang Ling muttered to himself for a moment, he realized that he didn’t want to get into trouble. Killing the soldiers that blocked the road would be very easy, but they would get in great trouble if they lured out the peerless powerhouses hidden in the Giant Dragon Domain.

“Ha, you want to escape? It won’t be so easy.” Yang Ling didn’t want to get into trouble, but the soldiers, who depended on their greater numbers for the advantage, were unaware of the crowd’s power, and they were just as arrogant as before. A bearded soldier sneered coldly and glared lecherously at the bodies of the Thousand-handed Blood Vine Elizabeth, as well as the Blood Angel Ophelia. He said brazenly, “Leave behind the heads of the men. As for women, if they serve us well, then...”

Swoosh!

A long vine suddenly appeared in the air before the bearded soldier could finish his sentence. As a ‘swooshing’ sound echoed out, the vine reached the soldier and instantly penetrated his scarlet armor, as well as his chest, before it coiled around his neck and shattered his larynx.

The Thousand-handed Blood Vine Elizabeth was infuriated, and she attacked angrily. She instantly killed the bearded man with a Low-Level Deity power. The bearded man’s scarlet armor was as nothing in the face of Elizabeth’s hard blood vines.
