The initial roars and noises inside gradually disappeared. The bandits were quietly waiting for the return of their two leaders or the cerberus. However, nothing happened after a long ti. All of them were nervous. So of them suggested to take a look down there.
So of them insisted to continue waiting and guard the entrance to prevent the enemy from escaping. While they were discussing how to divide the responsibilities, they heard a distant roar from the main pit.
Many of the bandits’ faces changed because they knew that it wasn’t the roars of the cerberus, Nagurala. That roar was deeper and longer than cerberus’; the horror within was far superior than Nagurala.
The roars were getting closer and closer. Then, the ground faintly trembled as if so kind of giant demonic beast was walking. The bandits’ nerves were suddenly tightened. Could it be...
The one fighting with their two leaders and the cerberus, Nagurala was actually the terrible underground demonic beast. The powerful demonic beasts that only road in the lower layers actually broke the seal at this ti and ca to the upper level.
As the tremor approached, the bandits retreated cautiously as if a strong enemy was coming. The tremor stopped when it ca to the door and a pile of things was thrown out far away, falling to the ground ssily.
It was a rather big skeleton. Under the light of the fire, it showed two white, canine’s skulls. So of them imdiately related it with the disappearance of cerberus’ roars just now. “That’s Nagurala.”
Nagurala... must have been swallowed up by so terrifying demonic beast. Then, aren’t Ms. Sully and Sir Yagus...
That discovery frightened the bandits, and they quickly retreated. Subsequently, the footsteps that trembled the ground sounded again. Then, a huge figure appeared within the bandits’ sight. Under the illumination of the torch and the moonlight, everyone finally saw the true face of the demonic beast. They imdiately had a chill down their spines.
It wasn’t a demonic beast; it was a monster.
That should be a dragon. To be precise, it was the skeleton of a dragon. However, this set of skeleton was alive. The pale skeleton glowed creepily, and the eyes were two dots of strange, green light.
Demon Realm used to have necromancer or lich that used corpse or skeletons to fight, but they had never heard of soone who could control the dragon’s skeleton. It was definitely not an undead that was controlled by a mage but a genuine monster.
“A ghost like dragon...” Soone said while trembling.
The monster made a roar filled with anger and an overwhelming deanor imdiately ca along. Even if the distance was far away, the bandits could still feel the horrific power of this deanor. They were intimidated and scared.
The Dragon’s Deanor was really the legendary Dragon’s Deanor.
An adult dragon was at least at the level of Demon Emperor, not to ntion after becoming a monster.
After the monster roared, it walked toward the bandits with a heavy footstep. Now, no one dared to hesitate. Those who responded slightly faster ran right away; even those who couldn’t stand still crawled down the hill in fear.
The bandits who rushed to the mining office at the mountainside to guard heard the noises from the main pit. Subsequently, an unforgettable scene appeared before their eyes. Their companions were running away from the mountaintop in a fluster. After that, a scary monster with white skeleton appeared at the summit and made a scary roar toward the two moons in the sky.
Emotions were always contagious, especially the transmission of fear. Soon, the bandits at the mountainside joined escaping group, followed by those at the foot of the mountain.
Judging rely the skeleton of the cerberus, a strong demonic beast equivalent to a Higher Demon was eaten to the point that its bones... Wait, the bones were left. However, no one bothered asking pointless questions like “why didn’t Ms. Sully and Sir Yagus escape?”
Dodo was very proud now to the point that he almost forgot the master’s order of not speaking and shouted the slogan of “Mighty Sir Ghost Dragon”. Such intimidating task was much easier than dealing with the cerberus. Besides, for Dodo, who had acted as the ghost dragon for decades, knew how to do it well, so the timing and atmosphere were handled perfectly.
However, Sir Ghost Dragon was now more of an empty shell than when it was in the black rainforest. The roar toward the bandits at the beginning used up all the hardly accumulated Dragon’s Deanor, so the roars after were basically ineffective.
With Dodo intimating with the dragon’s might, Chen Rui could rest assured and entered the Super System to convert auras in the waste ores room. These waste ores were exactly the sa as those sold at the blacksmith shop. They were full of strange crystals. The more advanced a material was, the more ti consuming it was to convert. These crystals were easier to convert than any other magic material. Besides, after entering the Mizar state, the speed of was much faster than before. After about 3 hours, the auras increased by 100,000 auras. He had more than 90,000 auras when he left the black rainforest. Together with the passive ability, when he got attacked just now, the total amount had reached 200,000 auras whereas the ores in the storage were only reduced by 10%.
Chen Rui realized it was already midnight after calculating the ti. The effective ti of Dragon Inscription was ending. Thus, he didn’t stay in the waste ores room and walked out of the waste ores pit. He cleared up the scene and brought Dodo back to the tent on the hill with ngda.
The next day, Athena saw Chen Rui’s exhausted look and asked, “Did you not sleep well last night? It’s almost noon, but you still look tired.”
“I’m just not used to the new place.” Chen Rui smiled. Actually, after returning last night, he was busy converting aura. At present, the total amount of aura had reached 350,000 while most of the ores in the storage were still not converted. Then, he was really too tired near dawn, so he fell asleep.
Athena rembered that Chen Rui’s physical condition wasn’t very good when he was in the council hall last ti. After thinking, she said, “You must have not recovered from the sickness last ti, and you are not used to living in a tent. Let build you a wooden house.”
“You don’t have to. I’m really fine.” Chen Rui knew that Athena was trying to be nice. The last ti was the spirit deprived caused by , which was different from the current situation. The injuries he suffered last night were basically recovered. It was just that he was “striving” too hard to convert auras, so he had a lack of sleep.
“Since you’re not feeling well, then don’t go hunting. The nearby water sources and prey are controlled by bandits. I’ll ride Kegu to the green forest that we passed by when we ca here to hunt prey. Didn’t you promise to give the miners at soup?”
“Don’t be so anxious. Yesterday, I said it’d be once every alternate day. Besides, I said “try.” Chen Rui actually reserved so room in his admonishnt yesterday to avoid giving an empty promise.
“Chen Rui, I’m not as smart as you are to have so many rhetorics in a sentence.” Athena frowned. “I only know that the miners risk their lives every day to mine, but they can’t even guarantee a filled stomach. That’s too suffering. Since you’re the mining officer now and they’re all your subordinates, shouldn’t you do sothing?”
Chen Rui didn’t expect Athena to say sothing like that. The position as a mining officer was just a cover for him to co to Mountain Xilang overtly. He thought he’d at most just let the miners escape before Barnacle returned.
“I thought about it for a long ti last night. The power of the bandits were too strong. I couldn’t rival alone. If I’m too impulsive, it might hurt you... and everyone else. What I can do now is to do my best in hunting prey and let them have a filled stomach.” It’s clear that Athena indeed thought it clear last night for her to realize her own shortcomings.
Athena looked at Chen Rui who still remained silent and she asked cautiously, “Am I stupid?”
“Very stupid.” Chen Rui affird that question without thinking and Athena’s mood suddenly fell.
Every man for himself and the Devil take the hindmost; the survival of the fittest, the strong will be respected. Protect your own interest is enough, why bother about other people’s business? Do you think you’re the savior?
This type of person, even if in his original world was also an idiot. There were even a lot of examples of kindness ended up with bad results. They were labeled by the “smarter people” as “retarded, dumb” and other “praises”.
Every would have such an idiot, but every world also needs such an idiot. Although without these idiots, the world would still operate normally. However, it was exactly because there were these people that the sky beca more blue, the sun beca brighter and life beca more valuable.
Chen Rui stopped his thought and went on to say, “However, stupidity is contagious. I think I’ve been infected by you.”
Athena’s eyes lit up and raised her head suddenly. Her eyes looked at him with a strange passion while Chen Rui smiled slightly, “Then...”
“Let’s go hunting together?” Athena eagerly added.
Looking at Athena’s eyes that were filled with hope, Chen Rui shrugged his shoulders, “Then, I will go back to the tent to rest.”
“Hmph!” Athena rolled her eyes on Chen Rui with dissatisfaction. She stopped caring about him and rode Kegu to the sky right away.
Chen Rui sighed helplessly: Silly girl, you don’t understand. It’s exactly because of that I need to go back to the tent.
It was less than 2 days before Culia’s return. Even if the miners weren’t dismissed and he didn’t sleep, he couldn’t convert all the auras in the waste ores room. If he left, auras in the waste ores room would be more difficult to obtain. Moreover, there were also bandits’ spy among the miners, so he couldn’t alert the enemy too soon.
With Dodo making such a commotion, no one would dare to enter the main pit for the ti being. Although the ghost dragon’s act might not deceive Culia or Barnacle, at least they wouldn’t imdiately suspect the mining office. On the one hand, he must absorb the auras as soon as possible. On the other hand, he must be prepared to fight hard.
Judging from Shea’s past information, Mountain Xilang’s bandits were likely to co from the Red Spirit Estate. Chen Rui was clear about Joseph’s objective for “recomnding” him. First, it was to kill him to eliminate the potential threat of the Princess Retail Store and even the Dark Moon’s economy. Second, it was to damage and weaken Shea with his death.
Therefore, even if Chen Rui, the mining officer couldn’t go to the main pit and he couldn’t be killed by the underground demonic beasts, the bandits would take the initiative to “help”.
Unless he abandoned his position as the mining officer and escaped, he’d have to face Culia sooner or later. Judging from the Yagus’ words, Culia’s strength was above than the combined effort of Sully and Yagus. This challenge was absolutely not easy; it would be another difficult trial.
No matter when the opponent will co, it’s imperative to improve my strength as soon as possible.
The strength that belongs to myself is the actual protection. As for the miners, I will think of a way to arrange them properly...
