Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Underworld, A Frightening Scene
Unexpected gains?!
Another piece of priceless intelligence!
Within the swamp, you can use the Divine Format to extract Essence of Life... These essences can break potential limits!
Although the current limit is only 2 Stars potential, it still fills Lear with excitent.
What is lacking the most right now?
Sufficient military strength.
And currently, the only force available to mobilize is the Wetland Lizard-n.
But these 1 Star potential warriors have already reached the Level 6 limit!
He turns to look at the warrior beside him, with blood soaking the black armor, carrying an aura of bloodthirst and brutality.
His eyes lit up.
"Gather all these ratman corpses together."
With the order given, the Wetland Lizard-n disengaged from battle and imdiately took action.
Just then, Haggs ca over from a distant pile of grass, dragging a barely alive Kelder Ratman.
"Sovereign... this is the mongrel we just found."
The amber eyes held a lingering hint of killing intent.
There’s no need for pleasantries with enemies.
Lear looked at the panting, blood-drenched Kelder Ratman, his eyes slightly narrowing.
"Where did you co from?"
The ratman grinned, with blood continuously dripping from the corner of his mouth, his voice rasping like a windmill.
"The great Queen... will feed you all to the rat pups..."
"This territory belongs to our Kakarok Clan... surface dweller, you’re courting death..."
"Kakarok Clan? Your territory?!"
Haggs’ gaze turned cold, creaking.
The hand gripping the opponent’s neck tightened further.
"A group of lowly mongrels dares to covet my master’s land!"
"The Kakarok Clan are the rulers of the Dark Mountains! Surface dweller, you have no idea the kind of existence you’ve provoked!"
The Kelder Ratman’s voice was sharp and still full of madness.
Dark Mountains?
Surface dweller?
These two keywords made Lear’s eyes narrow.
The Dark Mountains are a well-known range in the Underworld.
Is there a passage within the swamp to the Underworld?
Lear’s thoughts spun, and he spoke slowly.
"Curses are nothing but the wails of the weak... Kelder Ratn, do you really dare to spy on the surface?"
"We are rely the vanguard for exploration... Just wait, once the Queen kills the aging Red Dragon, this place will beco paradise for the Kakarok Clan... you won’t escape!"
As the words fell, his breathing grew rapid, then his body stiffened, eyes losing focus, and his life breath vanished instantly.
Dead.
Haggs’ expression twisted, with a sudden twist.
He directly ripped the opponent’s head off and threw it violently into the distant muddy water, splashing a large bloom.
To be threatened by this damn sewer mongrel...
Lear was not provoked, calmly surveying the surroundings.
"Find a few more alive ones to question."
Haggs acted imdiately, finding four more severely injured Kelder Ratn... After so interrogation, the testimonies were corroborated.
What the other side said was true.
These Kelder Ratn indeed ca from the Underworld.
But unlike the initial information from the first ratman, the Kakarok Clan hadn’t extended their reach to the surface yet.
They were scouts, inadvertently discovering a passage to the surface.
The ssage had not yet been relayed back.
The journey to the underworld had taken them seven whole days... It would take ti to communicate to the depths.
The Kakarok Clan is indeed powerful; they are preparing to hunt an aging Red Dragon.
But mobilizing the entire clan’s might would require recovery ti even if they kill the Red Dragon, and they wouldn’t notice the surface for a while.
With this confird information, Lear felt relieved.
Having just arrived at Mire Swamp, he wasn’t eager to face these brutal enemies so soon.
No matter how strong the potential, it requires ti to realize, and what he lacks most now is ti.
As he interrogated, the Wetland Lizard-n piled the corpses fished out from the crimson mud into a small hill.
Over three thousand grueso corpses stacked together, creating quite a visual impact.
Building a ghastly mound!
Over the past half month, after dozens of conflicts and battles, Lear had gradually grown.
Such a bloody scene, though chilling, was no longer enough to shake his heart.
One must get used to it; in this world, the weak have no right to survive!
Taking a deep breath, he tried to inject Spiritual Power into the fragnted azure Divine Format in his mind.
His gaze turned to the towering corpse pile, slowly extending his right hand.
Magic Power surged like a burning fla on him, suddenly soaring.
It rushed forth, eroding the corpse pile in front.
The next mont, pale blue flas began to burn on the bodies.
One by one, the crimson Essence of Life was extracted, floating in mid-air, gathering into a river.
Lear’s mind stirred.
The crimson energy slowly spread like a river, flowing into the bodies of the surrounding Wetland Lizard-n.
The Wetland Lizard-n only felt so wonderful transformations within their bodies.
Muscles beca thicker, bones more solid, tendons gradually resilient...
They were getting stronger!
The amber eyes turned scorching and frenzied as they looked at Lear once more.
The Sovereign is bestowing them with power!!
The pile of corpses slowly shriveled, finally crumbling directly like mummies weathered for thousands of years, crack~
Turning into fragnts all over the ground.
Subrged by the crimson muddy water...
Once the energy of the corpses was drained, the rapidly surging aura of the Wetland Lizard-man cald down.
Lear looked with curiosity at a Wetland Lizard-man by his side.
On its Attribute Panel, an additional Status bar appeared behind the Potential section.
Potential: 1 Star (Evolution Level: 50%)
If the Evolution Level just needs to be full, can the potential break through to 2 Stars? Will the level cap also increase?
The essence of life from over three thousand Kelder Ratn helped these 15 teams of Wetland Lizard-n reach halfway in their evolution.
In other words, just over three thousand more, and they can achieve transformation.
Not bad, very good!
Lear was in a great mood.
The Divine Spirit truly deserves to be the ultimate existence in this world.
He only grasped a trace of its power, and it was already so extraordinary.
If he were to completely control the Divine Format... it’s unimaginable what kind of mighty power it would be!
However, the pity is...currently, the maximum potential limit that can be raised is only 2 Stars.
Haggs, the 2 Stars Hero, showed no change.
After calming himself, Lear instructed the Wetland Lizard-man to search around, especially the tunnels from which the Ratn fled.
But as the interrogation information suggested, the passage leading to the Underworld was winding and rugged, the Wetland Lizard-man could not enter at all.
They could only mark this location on the Magic Map for future exploration.
The Underworld, Dark Mountains, Kelder Ratn, the deceased Red Dragon, the Mouse Queen...
These all exuded a sense of mystery, inducing a craving in him to explore them thoroughly.
Given so ti to develop... who is the prey is still uncertain.
He organized the team and set off again.
The winding path led through swamps, bogs, trees, and grassy fields.
After traveling two or three kiloters, four branching paths appeared in front of them, heading in different directions.
Lear waved his hand, signaling to move towards the leftmost path.
Over the past half month, he had established absolute prestige within the group.
Even if it was unreasonable, no one would question it.
Quite a few Mud Swamp People even began to regard Lear as the Divine Son who could listen to the Divine Spirit’s will.
The dragon dung drove away most dangers, and their speed began to increase.
By noon, they had already traveled 20 kiloters... but at this mont, Lear suddenly waved his hand, instructing everyone to stop.
His tone carried a hint of gravity.
"Destroy the dragon dung imdiately, everyone get down!"
Bain at the back didn’t hesitate, and imdiately poured a large amount of clean water into the ceramic basin. The dragon dung, stained with blood, dimd as if a light bulb had lost its power when subrged in the water.
Dragon’s Might vanished.
A mont later, as people were puzzled.
Roar~
A low, thunderous roar echoed in the air.
Looking up, a terrifying creature with a wingspan exceeding 20 ters, reminiscent of an ancient giant beast, was gliding through the sky.
Casting a huge shadow.
It was a gigantic flying dragon with thick hind legs.
The sinister dragon head was even more fearso than the evil dragons depicted in reliefs and murals within the city.
Its grey dragon skin resembled the bark of a millennium-old ancient tree, rugged and full of a sense of resilience.
What’s more terrifying was the aura of oppression it emitted, stemming from the power of an upper-position life’s bloodline, like a mountain pressing down from above.
Two-legged Flying Dragon
Level: 16
Potential: 4 Stars
???
???
The 4 Stars potential limit is 15 levels, but this flying dragon actually had a Level 16?!
It broke through the limit!
Lear’s eyes turned extrely sharp.
Just one distant glance made him feel that soul-penetrating oppression.
All the people in the convoy didn’t dare to breathe heavily.
The Mud Swamp People trembled, so even had their pants soaked...
In the blink of an eye, the fearso flying dragon vanished without a trace... but everyone had yet to recover their senses.
Imrsed in that terrifying oppression.
Lear let out a long breath.
After entering the swamp, his senses, rged with the Divine Format, were amplified tenfold by the swamp, and he decisively ordered the disposal of the dragon dung after sensing unease.
If discovered by that two-legged flying dragon, great horror would ensue in an instant.
His inner vigilance was suddenly heightened to the extre at this mont.
In the perilous wilderness, no one could predict when the next danger would arrive.
He had to utilize the Intelligence System, the Divine Format, and every bit of power he could wield to strengthen himself swiftly.
Flying dragon?
Eventually, I will make you crawl beneath my feet!
After this frightening incident, his heart beca resolutely determined once more.
"Soak the dragon dung again... move out!"
