A deep blue brilliance burst out from the dissipating light ball, illuminating the faces of the individuals and the history.
A top-tier item had appeared!
Was this his Ou Huang moment? Mu Yuan didn’t think so. There was a limit to the heavenly gifts from the world, even a Ou Huang limit. If one could only obtain rare level items, even being Ou Huang himself could only yield a rare-level item. At most, it was about going from a rare equipment to a blueprint for a rare item.
“It probably has something to do with the Orochi.”
“The quality of the Giant Wooden Totem wasn’t initially high, but the descent of the Orochi raised its limit and also elevated the Heavenly Gifts by a notch.”
“I am grateful to the Orochi for traveling thousands of miles to deliver these generous gifts.”
All three treasures were blueprints.
The white-level Guiding Landmark was beneficial for Mu Yuan. After all, upgrading from a Level Two Territory to a Level Three ‘Small Town Level Territory’ required 3,000 residents, and a Guiding Landmark could only absorb a small number of refugees. As time passed, this number would gradually decrease until there were hardly any left.
The Breakthrough Dojo was also a good treasure.
A Level Two Dojo can accommodate 60 soldiers at the Great Perfection simultaneously. If he built another one, it would be a capacity of 120 units.
The speed of the troops breaking through to the Professional level would double.
And finally,
A model of a building the size of his palm, emanating a faint blue glow, was lightly floating above his hand.
Precious array patterns surrounded it, and the interlinked nodes inside built up a starry sky window scene.
‘Magic Furnace’
‘Tier: Excellence’
‘Description: You can input one Spell after another, and merge them within the Furnace to create large-scale magic. Please explore its usage on your own.’
‘Note (1): The higher the user’s understanding of spells, the more formidable and marvelous the large-scale magic that’s created by merging will be. Many senior mages enjoy spending the whole day in the Magic Furnace, researching, creating, and striving for higher realms.’
‘Note (2): Gather the Magic Axis’ and the ‘Magic Celestial Instrument’ for a total of three excellent-tier buildings. You can then form an Epic-level Miracle Building.’
After reading the description of this building, Mu Yuan was deep in thought, itching to fly back to his territory and start construction immediately.
But there were many details still not wrap up.
The primary reason for Lord Shepherd’s expedition against the Monster Tribe was not for the loot, but rather to create a safe and stable regional environment for the Tianyuan Camp.
The main force of the Monster Tribe had been eradicated.
After resting, half the strength of the Skeleton Generals had recovered, and they let out a hearty cheer as the large army continued advancing, sweeping through one tribe after another.
Duo Lai was picking up along the way, so much that his Dimensional Pocket could barely accommodate any more.
Suddenly,
Fighting broke out in the distance. When Mu Yuan looked over through the Battle Falcon’s Vision, he saw several Skeleton Generals engaging with a dozen or so Spiderwomen. After a few rounds of combat, two of the Skeleton Generals had been killed in action.
They couldn’t hold them back at all!
These Spiderwomen were the most elite of the bunch, and it seemed like the Spiderwoman Chieftain was among them.
Without needing Mu Yuan to issue an order, the generals within Tianyuan territory who had awakened their self-consciousness and were experienced in combat knew what needed to be done.
The Dead Bone swiftly deployed troops for a pincer attack from all sides.
Rakshasa turned into a brown mist and shot out like an arrow.
Even faster was Seventeen. She stood on a flattened skyscraper with her bow drawn into a full moon shape. The Charging Arrow shot out like a stream of light and immediately pierced the body of a Spiderwoman.
These Spiderwomen were formidable, the weakest among them are midway or late Professional levels, and there were two or three were at the Elite level.
Although they can easily fly between the towering skyscrapers at high speed, they still couldn’t outrun Duo Lai and Rakshasa. They were quickly encircled and intercepted.
The Spiderwomen started looking increasingly fierce and ruthless, and their pupils were beginning to glow a faint, bloody red.
However, at that moment the Spiderwoman Chieftain raised her hands, “We surrender. We can pledge our loyalty to the honorable Lord.”
Oh, this…
Duo Lai, who was just about to initiate the combustion operation, was stunned. It was the first time he had seen such a situation.
What should he do?
However, without waiting for him to ask their omnipotent Lord, the faint bloody red glow in the Spiderwomen’s eyes rapidly expanded, filling their entire pupils and even seeming to spread outwards with blood vessels.
Just like the monsters during the Trials.
The next moment, including the Spiderwoman Chieftain who seemed to genuinely want to surrender, they all let out shrill, hoarse screams.
A faint red energy rose, swirling around like mad demons.
A few dozen rounds later, they all finally fell.
After a day of cleaning, organizing, burning the corpses, and taking away a few useful bodies, the ancient dungeon finally became significantly cleaner and quieter.
Mu Yuan, along with Lu Liu, Duo Lai, and a few Skeleton Generals who were sticking close to him for protection, walked through the ancient city.
The city was vast.
Spiders, and other tribes, had only occupied a small area to nest.
Everywhere you could see tall, black buildings that resembled square columns or large tombstones. These buildings were rugged and didn’t have any windows or doors.
Most of the black buildings had already collapsed, like knocked down stacks of blocks, scattered everywhere. Occasionally, you could see some large pits, ravines, and blasted buildings. It seemed that this place had experienced a significant disaster in the past.
Oh, this hundred-meter-long chasm resembling an abyss was caused by Dead Bone recently, wasn’t it? Well, that’s alright then.
Perhaps it was the recent battle that caused a great deal of damage to the ancient relics?
“It’s an illusion, the monsters have occupied this dungeon long ago, causing it to become unrecognizable.”
After a whole day of cleaning and sorting, he found nothing of high value in the city. It seemed that the monsters had raided everything.
Even within the monster tribe, there was no sign of any high-tier treasures. Duo Lai’s efforts barely uncovered a few rare materials.
Where did all the treasures go?
These monsters sure knew how to make good use of their resources!
However, after much effort expended by Duo, the treasure-seeking mouse, Mu Yuan discovered few ‘antiques’ from an ancient dungeon outside of the black buildings.
A few stone tablets.
Information was recorded on them, like a diary.
They detailed the escape process of a place called ‘Black Feather City’.
‘Today marks the 101st day since our escape began. Our General says we’re crossing the Tianqin Mountains and may be able to escape the chase of the evil demons.’
‘The 125th day of the escape. Black Feather City has crossed the Tianqin Mountains. The land here may be barren, but it’s better than anything, as long as we can survive.’
‘It’s been 136 days since we left our homeland. We haven’t seen any signs of the demons chasing us. Maybe they’re blocked on the other side of the mountains? That would be great.’
‘Today marks the 143rd day since we left our homeland. Black Feather City is looking for a suitable place to dock. Once everything settles down, Yu Yue, I will propose to you.’
’Day 144, we were chased by the Fallen God… Fallen God… Fallen God… Uh uh haha, everyone is going to die, so is the world!1
The strokes that followed became sloppy and chaotic, but with some imagination, Mu Yuan could picture the overall scene.
“Fallen God, Red Fog, Great Disaster.”
“Servants, Orochi, monsters.”
“What connects these things?”
The water is too deep here.
After tidying up the loot, he triple-checked to make sure he hadn’t missed anything before quickly returning to his territory.
Back in his territory, without resting, Mu Yuan logged into the forum to search for information about the Fallen God, servants, and so on.
There was very little information about the Fallen God, but there was some about the servants.
’Half a month ago, the Lord of Maple Leaf Territory encountered a servant while battling a Snake Man tribe. The Lord of Maple Leaf Territory, ranked third on the previous Trial Golden List, was killed on the spot, a sudden death that caused much lament.’
‘Two months ago, the ‘Silver Army’, a top-tier mercenary group from Pan Shi City, encountered a servant when investigating ancient civilization ruins in a wilderness. According to the leader, ‘Silver Eye’, the space became thick as though covered in blood red. They had to sacrifice over twenty elites in order to escape. The vice leader, ‘Silver Left Hand’, also said that they would have been completely swallowed had they hesitated or delayed by even a half moment, just like the surrounding monster tribes.’
‘Six months ago, Lord Longshui was ambushed by a servant named ‘Black Crow’ while defeating a monster tribe. Lord Longshui and his subordinates, with powerful battle strength, killed the physical body of the Black Crow servant and received rewards from heaven and earth.’
“Two and a half years ago, the Lord of Han Yue City ventured into a desolate land and encountered a snake-like servant. After hundreds of bouts, the Lord of Han Yue City crushed an eye of the servant and managed to retreat from the desolate land.’
“Hiss-1”
“The Lord of Han Yue City is so terrifying!”
Mu Yuan relaxed a little, “It seems that the activity of the Fallen God’s servants is limited, at the most they can indoctrinate the monster tribes to create their physical bodies.”
If that’s the case, he doesn’t have to be too afraid of the Orochi.
If his Tianyuan Territory can kill the Orochi’s physical body today, it will surely be even more secure after half a month, one month, or two months.
However, Mu Yuan didn’t forget that the ancient city called ‘Black Feather City’ was once chased by the Fallen God.
“Overthinking is useless.”
Mu Yuan asked Duo Lai… no, Dead Bone, to construct the guidance markers, while he placed the ‘Magic Furnace’, which did not require any material investment, in the core area of his territory.
Just like when the Breakthrough Dojo and the Fountain of Life were constructed, numerous brilliant light patterns interwove to outline the intricate shape of the building. Then, like printing by the heavens and the earth, the miracle building formed inch by inch.
In just a few dozen breaths, a silver bowl-shaped building with a diameter of over ten meters appeared before them. There was also a silver building more than ten meters high next to it, which was connected to the ‘furnace body’ and seemed to be the control room for manipulating, inputting, and fusing magic.
Mu Yuan walked in.
In the center surrounded by Array Patterns was a crystal pillar taller than him that grew on the formation.
He roughly knew how to use it and told Duo who followed him in.
“Input the spell in this direction, just use the Super-large Fireball spell you’re good at. But you need to slowly pour in the power over a long period of time, can you do it?”
“Of course-!”
Duo Lai had already attained the Artistic Conception Level and had made great progress in controlling energy, so it was not difficult to perform such precise operations. Flames continuously spewed out of its hands and were being devoured by the crystal pillars, which seemed like black holes.
After a while, a red light spot appeared on a control panel.
‘You have stored one spell, with the current remaining load ‘9/10?.’
After that, Mu Yuan could cast the ‘Super-large Fireball’ directly through the Magic Furnace. However, it would not be called a superior building if it only did this.
Continue!
The second, third, fourth!
Duo Lai, who was pouring all of his energy into the Super-large Fireballs, was soon completely drained and collapsed to the ground, seeing stars.
Mu Yuan had no choice but to do it himself to input the spells.
Even so, it took him more than an hour to finally fill all 10 spell storage slots.
“Now, it’s time to witness the fusion.”
‘Notice: You are fusing ‘Super-large Fireball’ xio, which will take an estimated 299s.’
‘Notice: You have fused the large-scale magic ‘Scorching Sun’..’
