My Doomsday Territory

Chapter 440: Spirit of Mountains and Earth

Chapter 440: Spirit of Mountains and Earth

He said it was a summoning scroll, but in fact, it’s a signal flare.

The nightmare puppet shuttled through in the deep illusory space. During this ability duration, he could cross ten times or even a hundred times the distance of the normal flight. Catching up with him would be a miracle. The only downside was that the deep illusory space is a void, making it difficult to pinpoint his location, even for Tang Yu.

The summoning scroll is a prop made specifically by Kevin after studying the nightmare suit, with matching characteristics.

Tang Yu gave it to the first customer who opened the door.

The summoning scroll again has instructions, in order to improve the success rate of the summoning, the person who has the summoning roll should choose to join forces with other customers to gather enough ‘currency’ to summon the divine dragon … ahem, the mysterious merchant.

If the ‘currency’ value is too low, Tang Yu won’t let the Nightmare Puppet go there.

“Recently Zhu Shu-Li seems to be very interested in the Nightmare puppet, next time if someone uses the Mysterious Merchant summoning scroll, I’m going to let Zhu Shu-Li control the Nightmare puppet. After all, he’s kinder than me, that might attract more customers.”

“Well, it’s best to give out another ten or eight of these summoning scrolls.”

After leaving, the nightmare puppet flew straight to the Honghe settlement. His hovering speed wasn’t that fast, which made Tang Yu able to observe the surrounding landscape from the sky, overlooking this devastated land.

In the Daxia Country, except for certain abyssal cracks littered with high-risk areas, you rarely see this ominous scenery. The demonic beasts everywhere piled up in herds, and there was almost no trace of hunter activity that could be seen along the way.

“Without the Hunter hunting those demonic beasts, the density of those demonic beasts is constantly rising, and with more and more of them in the area, the more dangerous the wilderness is, and the harder it is for a hunter to survive, what a vicious cycle.”

“In a few more days, perhaps, most of this country will be reduced to a dead zone.”

Although Tang Yu did not want to see this situation, there was nothing he could do.

Most areas within the Daxia country were plagued with death and demonic beasts. The survivors there were in a constant battle, which he has the effort to care so much about. With the identity of the mysterious merchant out, he could sell some items to the hunter here, which might help them survive their ordeal.

The nightmare puppet flew with a constant speed, and in no time, he arrived in the Honghe territory.

The Hong River is the first big river in this country. Connected to the sea, the river has a lot of aquatic creatures. This gathering place was not established next to the Hong River, but next to just a small tributary where they could hunt the aquatic creature but at the same time far enough from the river so that they wouldn’t attract the demonic beasts that were following the water.

From afar, Tang Yu felt that this place was quite good, as he saw a wall that was more than ten meters high.

That wall, of course, couldn’t be compared with the territory or even with any of the large shelter walls. However, although it’s not large, the Hong River was enough to sustain tens of thousands of people living in the Honghe settlement.

From the high altitude, Tang Yu observed the settlement and thought that it would be difficult to build a higher wall with the size of this settlement and the number of people who lived there.

The wall was an earthy yellow color and looked very thick. There was a hole all-around at the front of the wall, forming a moat, a clever design instead of using hardwood to arrange countless spike traps to resist the demonic wave.

“It looks like this wall is indeed the work of the earth-elemental ability person because the scale is so large that it even draws away from the earth element from the ground in front of it, making the ground sink…… Interesting…”

The Nightmare puppet did not mean to hide his figure and flew straight to the center of the settlement, a beige palace …… also roughly built with earth elemental ability.

Soon, his appearance was noticed by the hunters of the settlement. They lifted out several old anti-aircraft cannons, adjusting the muzzle, and gradually aimed at the Nightmare.

“It’s an autonomous flying type weapon!”

“It’s not one of us, and it looks like it’s coming from a bad place. Let’s shoot it down first!”

“Save… save some bullets for the demonic wave.”

Sporadic bullets thumped out. The Nightmare did not need to make any movements at all. The transcendent force field has blocked all the bullets shot.

So annoying, Tang Yu did not intend to prolong this futile “battle.”

A certain celebrity once said: hands are the most effective way to solve problems.

The Nightmare flicked his fingers, and several anti-aircraft guns seemed to have been struck.

Tang Yu did not dare to control the Nightmare to blast out a wide range of attacks. In case he misses and kills the civilian, it would be very embarrassing. But in a snap of his fingers, the machine cannon went up in smoke, and that was enough to make the hunters in the settlement astonished.

“It should be a wind power user!”

“It’s too strong. Go get support from the Warlord!”

“We can’t let him disturb the lord’s rest.”

The nightmare puppet spread out his spiritual power and immediately caught the words below. His eyes lit up, his source qi went out, and he waved his hand and blasted down.

BOOM.

KA-CHING.

Cracks littered the beige palace, a section of the front of the hall collapsed, and a sky-shattering roar rang out from inside the hall.

A middle-aged man rushed out of the collapsed palace, wearing a brown battle suit made of animal skin, with a majestic face, even in anger, yet his complexion also made people calm. The panicked Honghe hunters immediately calmed down.

No matter how powerful the enemy, in front of their Lord, is nothing.

This was the confidence brought to them by witnessing the Lord’s battles countless times!

Honghe raised his hands upward, and the original layers of collapsed halls, rustling and rolling down the earth and stones, immediately stopped.

The earth and stones were re-lifted, and the cracks were smoothed out. Although the hall could not be restored to its original form, this move surprised Tang Yu.

It was the purest form of earth elemental control.

Among the many earth-elemental abilities, its adaptability was vast when it reached the pinnacle and could almost master all earth-element spells.

Tang Yu became more and more curious.

King Honghe stabilized the collapsing hall before turning back to look at the visitor.

Black cloak, holding a scythe, although there was no crotch of the war horse with ghostly blue flames, the Honghe King still quickly responded, “Mysterious merchant?”

“Since you appeared here, then the war general under me that I sent there……?”

His face gradually turned gloomy.

Nightmare puppet shrugged, “You were the one who sent people to rob me. You have no right to be upset.”

The battle was then fought.

King Honghe raised his hand, an earth dragon rushed out and blasted towards the nightmare puppet in the sky.

The elemental wind fighting against earth elemental, on the surface, the elemental wind user might be advantageous since he could fly and attack from long range. However, if the elemental earth user focused on defense, the wind elemental attack spells would never cause significant damage.

But the King of Honghe was different. He focused on attacking his foe with the earth dragon he conjured, raising his hand and casting a wide array of damage spells.

Tang Yu observed for a while, but unable to use the Eye of Insight, he could not see much.

The next moment…

The nightmare puppet, which was evenly matched with the Lord of Honghe settlement, suddenly exploded with a powerful aura.

A flash of shadow shrouded his entire body. In a blink of an eye, he appeared next to the Lord of Honghe. He did not use the scythe, and he just stretched out his hand, gushing out the excess spiritual energy.

BOOM!

Honghe King’s body shook, his pupils widened after he felt a terrifying oppressive force on his body. In an instant, except for his head, all of his limbs were completely confined. He couldn’t even move a finger. His face showed fear and hurriedly spoke, “My Lord spare my life!”

And thus, the Lord of Honghe’s undefeated battle record, at this moment, was broken.

……

“I ask you, and you shall answer.”

A low voice came out from under the hood worthy of the title of villain.

Lord Honghe… with only his head that could move, nodded his head repeatedly like a chicken who pecked a bowl of rice on the ground.

“Name?”

“Gender?”

“Did you awaken your ability on your own?”

“Yes…no, no.” King Honghe was pale, he said, “I answered all of your questions. Can you spare me, my Lord?”

The nightmare puppet nodded, “That depends on your performance. After all, I, mysterious merchant, am not a demon.”

King Honghe recalled a moment and slowly said, “A month and a half ago, I was just at a sixth-level awakened. There was no Honghe settlement, and I was just a hunter wandering around. Then, one day, I was chased by the demonic beast, and when I was desperate, He appeared ……”

“He?”

“He is the spirit deity of Kong’An Mountain. I signed a contract with Him and was given the pinnacle earth ability. My body even has majestic energy in just a month and a half. I was raised from the sixth level awakened to the tenth level awakened today.”

Tang Yu asked some more questions from multiple angles.

It was certain that the “He” is not a human, nor is it a demonic beast or an alien race, but more information about “He” was not clear to Lord Honghe. But it seemed that for fear of being clicked off, Lord Honghe described in detail the appearance of “He” and drew his escape route to the Kong’An Mountain, as well as the place where he met the spirit deity.

Finally, the source crystals that he treasured and the treasures he secretly buried under the palace were all offered up in exchange for his life.

It was only when the nightmare puppet flew away that Lord Honghe breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, when he thought of his countless treasures, he burst into tears again, and finally, it was the mysterious merchant who saw that he had done well and gave him a staff, several battle swords, and a translucent card.

He picked up the staff, held it in his hand, and his face was stunned, “Huh? The sensing of earth origin Qi between heaven and earth seems to have become clearer.”

And then saw the battle swords, sharp as a tack, “It seems… it seems… it’s not much of a loss.”

“No, a bunch of broken iron that cannot be used for a few weapons that can significantly improve the battle power of our settlement. That mysterious merchant can’t say that he and ‘He’ are the same, but they both are an unknown existence …… I really am stupid. If I did not offend the mysterious merchant, I might be able to earn some more luxurious items.”

Thinking about this, King Honghe was both heartbroken and regretful and clutched the translucent card tightly.

At this time, because the battle subsided, the smoke and dust dispersed, the periphery gradually came to the sound of the men. Lord Honghe hurriedly stood up, clapped his hands, pretending as if nothing happened, and walked out.

……

Kong’An Mountain, located about two or three hundred kilometers northwest of the Honghe settlement.

The nightmare puppet flew at his full speed and arrived quickly.

This mountain range was large, and the periphery of the demonic beasts was everywhere, deep in the mountains.

The Nightmare flew deeper into the mountain and unleashed his transcendent aura. In an instant, all of the weaker beasts fled far away, some demonic beast retaliated and attacked the nightmare puppet, but the transcendent force field turned them into minced meat.

Then…

The nightmare puppet arrived at the area marked by Lord Honghe, the nightmare puppet spread his spiritual power to scan around, but there was no feedback.

Tang Yu was not discouraged and was ready to stroll through the entire Kong’An Mountain. But, suddenly, he felt a change in the land ahead.

It seems that countless auras were converging into one, and gradually, an earthy figure solidified on the ground.

Semi-illusory, earthy yellow, a little human shape outline can be seen faintly …… This was exactly like the description given by Lord Honghe, the spirit deity of the Kong’An Mountain.

“Greetings, human transcendent. Hello, I am the spirit deity of the Kong’An Mountain.”
