Chapter 865 -509: Roasting the Sand Worm King’s Flesh
The moon was bright and stars were sparse, the clear moonlight scattered over the entire desert,
but nobody paid attention to this tranquil moment, the scent of bloody slaughter spread around the camp.
Everyone in the caravan was collapsing on the ground at this moment, panting heavily, with a bit of relief of surviving after the catastrophe showing on their faces.
Around the camp, the corpses of sandworms were almost piled up on the ground, the sand grains were covered with the foul-smelling blood, and even the broken bodies of a few sandworms were still slightly wriggling.
However, what was remarkable was that not a single sandworm corpse appeared in the center of the caravan; it was as if an invisible barrier had blocked the sandworms from entering.
Not far away, Blais was also sitting weakly on a sand dune, his face somewhat pale.
In front of him, the corpse of the Sand Worm King was lifeless, its steaming brown blood continuously flowing down the sand dune, even forming several small blood pools.
With Lis’s assistance, Blais had expended a tremendous amount of effort to finally kill this extremely rare Sand Worm King.
But Blais was also quite aware that, though he had been fighting the Sand Worm King head-on, most of the wounds on the Sand Worm King were caused by those cyan arrows.
He couldn’t understand how such small arrows could cause damage akin to a Magic Crystal Cannon.
Blais had faced Hunter professionals before, but the average Golden Rank Hunter was definitely not as strong as Lis; otherwise, how could other professions survive?
Even someone as powerful as Lis would suffer severe injuries. How strong must the one who injured Lis be!
Blais breathed deeply, his respect for Lis deepening, while also feeling a bit more fortunate.
Luckily!
Encountering him in the desert was truly the protection of the Lucky Goddess!
Otherwise, even if he could have left with Duke, only about one or two out of ten of the entire caravan would have survived today.
His years of efforts in building up the caravan would have gone up in flames!
As Blais was sitting on the ground recovering his strength, he saw Lis walking towards the Sand Worm King with a longsword in his hand.
Collecting extraordinary materials?
Blais saw this and didn’t think much of it.
Not to mention this Golden Rank Sand Worm King, even if Lis demanded half of the caravan’s cargo, Blais would have agreed.
This time it was thanks to Lis that they narrowly escaped the sandworm attack.
Lis ignored Blais’s gaze.
The cargo carried by Blais’s caravan was indeed a substantial fortune, but for Lis now, it was nothing.
Putting aside the resource support Lis had received from the Elf Kingdom and the Jade City, which far exceeded the Gold Rank level, even the income from Danerluo Port over the years was an extraordinarily large amount.
Apart from clearing pirates and the port taxes brought by expanding sea routes, the biggest contribution was the rich profits from the Magic Items made with [Self-Charging] Magic Rune.
Originally, Lis planned to expand the production of [Self-Charging] Magic Rune items after breaking into Legend, but after becoming an Elf Sage, he changed his mind.
The reason being, compared to the future dangers and pressures from the Endless Abyss they would face, the [Self-Charging] Magic Rune was not that important.
Moreover, with the support of [Judgement Flame] and the Elf Kingdom, Lis believed that even Legendary figures would not easily make a move against him in the short term before the influence of [Self-Charging] Magic Runes expanded.
By the time this period passed, he would have already become a Legend!
For this reason, when establishing [Nature’s Wrath] in the Jade City, Lis made a special trip back to Danerluo Port.
It was specifically for the matter of [Self-Charging] Magic Rune items.
With Mora’s efforts and the help of the Feis Kingdom, the scale of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce expanded rapidly, and it is now the second-largest guild within the Feis Kingdom.
And because there were few beneficiaries sharing the profits, most of the profits went to Lis, so his wealth grew at a very fast pace in the past two years.
Indeed, players are the best labor!
They consume the least and produce the most!
Although the initial investment in the White Dove Chamber of Commerce was large, as players got on track, the profits they brought to the guild became enormous.
Mora was very curious about where Lis found this group of laborers.
The key was they seemed to enjoy it.
Although their actions were sometimes strange and hard to understand, Mora didn’t mind this small flaw.
Because the various [Self-Charging] Magic Items introduced by the White Dove Chamber of Commerce brought significant profits to Lis.
So now Lis had ample financial resources, otherwise, he couldn’t have forced investments to produce those Legendary Equipment.
He left some for [Nature’s Wrath], and the rest he carried with him.
So, Lis really didn’t care about ordinary treasures now.
For example, the Sand Worm King before him, although its shell was quite a good extraordinary material, which could be one of the raw materials for making advanced armor, Lis didn’t care much.
Going from frugality to extravagance is easy, but from extravagance to frugality is hard!
Thinking back to the time when he was a diligent young lad who saved every last bit, and now he’s being so extravagant.
Lis couldn’t help but feel wistful.
Maybe this is due to the difference in position and perspective?
Lis lightly waved the longsword in his hand, and the hardest head of the Sand Worm King instantly split open, neatly dividing into two halves.
