Chapter 546 - 512: Invading the World Tree Space
Personnel grouping completed, Da Fei’s vanguard squad once again entered the underground. Just as they entered, they saw those Earth Elements secretly gathering their bodies for resurrection.
Da Fei burst into laughter and immediately said, "Let’s leave this task to the stationed brothers, let them try their hand!"
Vali volunteered eagerly, "Let our patrol team go first!"
Da Fei waved his hand, "Go!"
"Charge!" The vanguard’s members fervently found the opportunity to serve their country, charging in and slashing fiercely as if crushing bones into dust, making Da Fei’s eyelids twitch repeatedly!
Holy cow, it’s really the team that wiped out monsters on the 4th level of the prison back then, they definitely have combat strength! If we hadn’t used the fog and directly fought them in the forest back then, we might have really lost!
Good, since they are so enthusiastic, I must make good use of them and develop them into my confidants. After all, people from Hangeval ultimately recognize him as the big brother, not me. There always seems to be a barrier, and if Hangeval really bites the dust, who knows if these people will follow me religiously?
So, I need a balancing force. To be precise, these two groups of people need to check each other, otherwise, I wouldn’t sit comfortably as this nonchalant big brother.
Now, the path is cleared again, and the squad continues forward.
At the Earth Element BOSS’s—wait, this Earth Element BOSS has made such a great contribution, I should give it a name, right? Otherwise, it’s all ’Earth Element’ here and there, who exactly would that refer to? And this one is not your ordinary Earth Element, but a hero among BOSSes—OK, it has a name now, Tycoon!
Da Fei immediately opened the attributes and renamed its original name "Earth Altar Guardian" to "Tycoon!" Haha! Wahahaha, my naming prowess is incredible! My naming ability is just terrifying!
Leading the way upfront, with the Earth Tycoon on ahead, and Elena and Da Fei Master-level Crossbow Cannon bombarding from behind, the squad once again effortlessly took down a team of blocking elite Earth Elements.
Da Fei heaved a great sigh of relief, not because of the victory in battle, but because these elite Earth Elements will soon be of use to me, haha! Wahahaha!
Then, Da Fei realized something was wrong, this group of blocking Earth Elements were guarding a crossroad!
Damn! What the hell! Aren’t these tunnels supposed to connect the islands? Just dig a straight line; why bother creating a crossroad, to facilitate an encirclement by the guards?
"Something’s off!" Hangeval also quickly noticed: "No matter which road of these three, none are leading to Lighthouse Island, and is there a need to build three roads here?"
Da Fei waved his hand, "Let me scout a bit!"
After saying that, he again summoned the Blood Eagle to fly towards one passage. Very soon, they discovered another crossroad, guarded by a small team of Earth Elements! Damn it!
Da Fei exclaimed: "Could it be a labyrinth?"
Elena said solemnly, "I feel the same magic power here as in the Divine Domain Space, it’s perhaps not as simple as just a labyrinth. If this powerful being has obtained the method to create Divine Domain elemental armies from there, then this labyrinth might shift and misplace just like the Divine Domain Space after a certain period."
Da Fei was astonished: "So, are you saying this is forcing me to go on a killing spree?"
Vali immediately said: "Sir, we have many people; we can station brothers at each crossroad. We don’t believe that a labyrinth of this sea area’s size can trap anyone!"
Da Fei gritted his teeth: "Correct, we have many people! I refuse to believe this! By the way, has everyone brought enough water and food?"
Vali responded right away: "You are indeed wise, sir, everyone has prepared for a prolonged battle, let’s ensure every person has enough food!"
Prolonged battle my ass! I’m now dying to settle down and finish up the work! Now that I’ve got the hang of these Earth Elements, no need for splitting into small teams. I’ll bring over my entire remote Forest Demon Army to enhance remote fire support for rapid clearing. I want to advance irresistibly!
Plus, with Little Fei here, the shifting of the Divine Domain Space won’t trouble me, and neither will it here!
......
Radiant City.
Eternal Star stands silently on the city wall looking towards the distant lakeshore. The failure to capture Da Fei this time completely shattered Eternal Star’s hopes for conquest.
In a particularly bad mood, that bastard Skyshattering Cannon proposes a request for a joint city-building. Bloody hell, all these regular players are becoming City Lords one after another, then what am I, Eternal Star? A street-sweeping laborer? A pitiful fool who lends money and effort as a partner?
But if I don’t agree to Skyshattering Cannon’s request, he will definitely team up with Ninth Heaven. So I have to do it whether I like it or not? Key question is, is the World Window worth developing? The answer is definitely yes, there has never been a scene guarded by so many powerful BOSSes, and the more powerful the BOSSes, the better the loot.
From the video analysis, this Da Fei has at least subdued an Earth Element BOSS, meaning there’s a chance to subdue the BOSSes there!
Even Da Fei, a barebones commander, can start from scratch and subdue BOSSes; we, the professional gamers of Eternal Star, surely have no reason not to be able to do the same. This business is indeed viable, not to mention Skyshattering Cannon also has the Prince’s background, able to get strong support from NPCs.
But still, the feeling of not being in control of the situation made Eternal Star very uncomfortable. What made Eternal Star even more irked was the presence of Ma Yinglong on the opposite side.
Ma Yinglong’s Undead Force was steadily advancing while both the Beastman and Hell Power were blossoming at both ends. If he couldn’t take this opportunity to squash his arrogance, it’s probable that even an alliance between Star and Ninth Heaven wouldn’t match him in half a year.
It seems that as a worker in Radiant City, he had to do the job, and it was a must-do now. Gritting his teeth, Miss Deputy City Lord Anlicia also came tottering up the wall.
Eternal Star had always been annoyed by her, but he had never been as annoyed as he was now! But there was no choice, why bother with an NPC? Just treat her like a slime monster!
Eternal Star calmed his depressive mood and took the initiative to greet: "Greetings, Vice City Lord!"
Anlicia was in a great mood and chuckled: "Do you know? Yesterday’s great victory shook the entire Alliance! The whole Kingdom thinks very highly of you!"
Eternal Star responded indifferently: "That’s also thanks to the proper leadership of Vice City Lord."
Anlicia chuckled: "How about becoming a City Lord?"
City Lord?! Eternal Star doubted if he misheard! But words from an NPC, no matter how unreliable, are still system messages!
Eternal Star exclaimed in shock: "Of course I’d like that! But that’s completely against the Kingdom’s system, isn’t it?"
Anlicia laughed heartily: "Where are your thoughts going? Not the lord of this city! Provided your guild successfully wins this battle and accumulates enough merit, the Kingdom plans to hand over the land in Emerald Bee Forest to your guild for management. Despite the presence of Beastmen there, it shouldn’t be a problem for you who have been tempered by this battle. Are you tempted? This is an opportunity that I strongly advocated for you!"
So it was a misunderstanding! Besides, what value does Radiant City, plagued by barren mountains and dangerous waters, hold compared to the resource-rich Emerald Bee Forest?
Eternal Star joyfully said: "Thank you for the referral, Miss Deputy City Lord. How much merit is needed then?"
Anlicia pointed towards the lakeshore and laughed: "Just completely taking down their city walls will do!"
Damn! Are you kidding me!
However, regardless, he wasn’t working for nothing anymore, Eternal Star once again found the meaning of life, exhilarated, and immediately said to Tianlan Star: "Tell the Skyshattering Cannon, our Star agrees to cooperate with him!"
...
At the lakeshore of the Pool of Radiance, in the Demon Camp square.
The space cipher expert sent by the Demon King arrived, not just anyone, but the former superior of Lei Huolong, the former Execution Officer of the Demon Camp, the once fiery Siriel.
Life is full of unexpected reunions, only now Siriel had no Hero Aura beneath his feet, and the flames around his body were not as fierce as before, he was no longer a hero.
For NPC heroes, once weakened to a certain extent, they would lose their hero status. His debilitation was due to his burning his own fire core to recruit Fire Elements for the players, unfortunately, all his efforts fell short. His return to the scene was for one reason only: the Demon King penalized him to make amends and also to accompany Lei Huolong’s team as a space guide into World Tree Space.
Nakasha chuckled somberly: "Ah, the well-known hero instructor, Lord Siriel, it’s an honor. This spatial operation would trouble you."
Siriel solemnly advised: "Lord Nakasha, I advise you not to underestimate your current opponent, otherwise, your desire for revenge for your race will become increasingly distant."
Nakasha sneered coldly: "The failures of my predecessors are a constant warning. Time is pressing, please proceed, Lord Siriel!"
Siriel grunted and remained silent, beginning to direct the array of Mages setting up the Array in the square, this familiar scene reminiscent of the initial invasion into the Wisdom Ancient Tree Space, filling Lei Huolong’s team with confidence in him.
Indeed, Siriel did not let them down, after the Array operated for a moment, Siriel excitedly said: "I clearly see through the spatial rift of the World Tree, having captured a Hell Magma in the World Tree Space, which is precisely the source of my power. I feel it calling me, if we infiltrate there, the success is guaranteed!"
Upon saying this, flames around his entire body erupted as he shouted: "Rise!"
The entire square’s Array burst forth with Demon Light!
Nakasha expressed satisfaction: "Lord Siriel is indeed best suited for this kind of task. Well then, warriors, let’s set out!"
Lei Huolong’s team immediately entered the Array, and then with a flash of red light, the scene changed, and Lei Huolong’s team appeared in a land of rolling lava.
The group was astonished: "Is this the World Tree Space? Are you sure?"
Just then, Siriel also appeared following them: "There’s no mistake, and moreover, there’s a powerful being here! It will be the first stumbling block to witness our merit!"
