God-level Hero

Deep in the underground cavern, Da Fei is already isolated from his troops. Under normal circumstances, he would of course be looking for a path to the surface. But, the current situation is not normal. The Divine Power Tree Root and the immovable Divine Artifact machine are exposed to the elements, so it’s better to act fast and avoid risks.

Hence, the best method now is to teleport the warship into the cave. As long as we know the coordinates and confirm there’s no obstacle at the location, the teleportation can be performed. And this cavern is indeed large enough, so there should be no problem with teleportation.

There’s nothing more to say, Da Fei stripped off his equipment and charged at a rock, ramming into it over a dozen times until he died! Oh yeah, everyone has their hour of death!

The next moment, Da Fei resurrected back in the Captain’s cabin. As soon as Da Fei stepped out of the cabin, Tamilia anxiously appeared beside him and said, "Lord City Lord, we’ve detected the location of the Divine Power Tree Root, and we’re preparing to dig a tunnel down!"

Da Fei laughed and said, "No need to dig, just teleport! The coordinates are—"

Tamilia excitedly said, "Got it!"

Then, the Sky Ship flashed with Demon Light and appeared in the underground pit. Looking at the Earth Dragon’s carcass on the ground, and the lost-but-found Divine Power Tree Root, the whole army cheered, and Tamilia was so excited she was about to cry!

Da Fei couldn’t help but feel an undercurrent of fear; a sense of post-traumatic stress welled up. Although he finally won, he had to admit that he really almost lost it! The cold sensation when he lost the root earlier still sent shivers down his spine. He’d felt this way before, during the fight with the Hydra. The difference was that then, he had no choice but to fight, and he had done meticulous and thorough preparation. But what about this Earth Dragon King? He had recklessly underestimated it without understanding its strength, feeling like he was courting death! In the end, he realized his arrogance had led him here, his mentality had changed, and this was going to capsize him!

Da Fei then asked Tamilia, "How did the Earth Dragon damage the warship?"

Tamilia seriously replied, "The Earth Dragon wasn’t primarily targeting the warship, so the warship only lost 10% of its durability, which is still recovering. Five Parasitic Vines were torn off and need some time to recover."

Da Fei couldn’t help but be startled, "Just one hit caused the Flying to lose 10% durability, how powerful is this monster! We can’t do such risky things in the future."

At this moment, Savara’s voice came from beside him, "No, my lord, this is the necessary cost of development. It’s like eating; for humans, it’s just a normal daily routine, but for beasts, every hunt is a life-and-death struggle. Lions dying under a wild bull’s horns aren’t fewer than wild bulls dying under a lion’s claws. Even this Black Dragon is no exception!"

Black Dragon? Da Fei looked up, "You mean this skeleton belongs to a Black Dragon?"

Savara said seriously, "Yes, it’s a Black Dragon, although not up to giant dragon standards, it’s still very strong. I imagine the ravine on the surface was left by the battle between this Earth Dragon and the Black Dragon, right? You defeated such a powerful being; you should feel proud and not lose your edge because of this!"

Cindigosar coldly said, "A Black Dragon losing to a lizard is a disgrace to the Dragon Clan!"

Well! Wasn’t it your lousy idea that scared me half to death? Da Fei then asked, "Then why does this Black Dragon’s bones glow, when those in the Dragon Tombs don’t?"

Savara laughed, "Of course, it’s because this Black Dragon hasn’t been dead for long, and the magic power in its bones still exists. The giant dragons in the Dragon Tomb have been dead for so long, their magic either dissipated or converted into surrounding Dragon Soul Monsters."

Da Fei continued to ask, "What use is this dragon bone?"

Cindigosar coldly said, "Make soup!"

Savara sighed softly, "Make the best use of everything, I suppose."

Exactly, make the best use of everything! Da Fei waved his hand, "Then haul the Earth Dragon’s carcass, the dragon bones, and all the ores into the cabin!"

Tamilia excitedly said, "Yes, Lord City Lord!"

Now, the thousand-strong Evil Demon Angel Army and Nasir started to move, pushing and pulling this massive mountain of flesh, comparable to the past Hydra, into the cabin. Da Fei could already imagine, if this Earth Dragon’s strength is comparable to the past Volcanic Giant Dragon, then how much would the Holy Vine grow after devouring it?

It must be said, this was the most frightening battle Da Fei had fought to date, and also the most confusing. He couldn’t even figure out the enemy’s true strength.

Then Da Fei started inspecting the spoils of this battle, the Divine Artifact "Demon Bone Furnace," a large spherical machine similar to a cement mixer. Producing bone stone ore? Alright, I guess these dragon bones are the reward material for the machine, so I’ll produce all the dragon bones into bone stone ore. And now with this machine, defeating the Undead Race and sea monsters from the Nether Sea won’t leave me so poor that I can only absorb souls. It’s like indirectly adding an industry for me, right? If that’s true, it truly deserves the name Divine Artifact.

Very well, let’s first try the effect of producing the dragon bone.

Just then, while busy, Selvia hurried over, "Captain, received a message from Deirdre. Deirdre is involved in a merit task but might fail, she has urgent matters requesting an emergency return to the ship."

Da Fei raised an eyebrow, "Then you go to the camp immediately and prepare to summon her back."

"Understood."

Da Fei’s mind spun rapidly, what’s going on with this Deirdre? Did Japanese players secretly take her out to do a task? I guess this is what Sly God initially wanted to discuss with me? Damn, they agreed to collaborate, but now they want to hog the glory? Grown some wings, have they? Fine, I’ll wait and see what’s going on.

...

Spider nest, the Mitsubishi Team members experienced the most disgusting battle in history. First, the nest was narrow, and the army of 50,000 could not stretch out at all. Second, there were too many branch paths in the nest, forcing the Mitsubishi Team to disperse their forces. The third, most fatal point was that once the army entered the passageway, suddenly appearing Otherworld silk threads blocked and separated the passage, then countless little poisonous spiders rolled down from the small holes in the passageway, along with various toxic liquids that reduced the army’s condition to its lowest point.

When the Mitsubishi Team overcame all difficulties and swept their way to the main spider nest, more than half of their forces were lost, and a third of the team members died back to the city. Then the decisive battle began: a BOSS spider, with a body as large as a car and standing on a recovery aura, continuously laying eggs underground that hatched into self-destructing little spiders, capable of flying and burrowing underground, and forcefully turning invisible, became Mitsubishi Team’s nightmare!

Especially when the spider BOSS entered the burrowing state, the Mitsubishi Team’s Summoned Demon was completely ineffective. While in the burrowing state, the spider could still attack the surface! Then more and more medium to large-sized spider monsters swarmed in from the passage the Mitsubishi Team came from, attacking from both front and back.

If it weren’t for Farina’s Divine Artifact Triple Curse, the Mitsubishi Team would have collapsed on the spot, yet it still couldn’t reverse the increasingly dire situation for the Mitsubishi Team.

At this moment, the Mitsubishi Team members finally realized what the strength of these so-called DemiGod-level Monsters is! Even if they consider the damage by the Demon Servant enough, what use is it if they can’t effectively hit the target? The gap, there is still a gap! However, it shouldn’t be too large.

Tsukamoto had to make the worst and the best plan: "Gentlemen, this is a wild monster, not an instance monster, using the human wave strategy can settle this. So even if we lose, we have greatly weakened the spider’s strength! Once we die back to the city, we will immediately come back and definitely be able to breach! So what we need to do now is desperately consume the BOSS’s mana and health, weaken its minions to pave the way for our next arrival!"

Sly God gritted his teeth and said, "That’s right, when we came, we cleared the way of wild monsters, so our march speed will be much faster. Absolutely won’t give the BOSS any recovery time!"

"Gentlemen, let’s strive harder!"

Finally, the last moment arrived; only 7 members of the Mitsubishi Team remained, along with Farina floating in the air. If the spider casts one Shadow Poison Cloud, it will definitely wipe out everyone.

Sly God began to deliver his "last words": "Miss Farina—" Here, Sly God didn’t know what to say.

Farina understood and said in a deep voice, "Warriors, we’ve all done our best. As heroes, don’t fear failure too much; let’s keep trying, we’ll be back! Now—I’ll retreat first!"

After saying that, Farina emitted a pink mist and vanished, followed by a toxic cloud envelope over everyone, turning Mitsubishi’s command screen into complete darkness!

Sly God reacted immediately: "All village, city team members, keep an eye on where Farina appears!"

"Haii!"

...

"Farina" naturally appeared in Da Fei’s Lilim Camp. Upon receiving the report, Da Fei promptly went to the camp to check.

Upon seeing the long-lost Deirdre return, Da Fei couldn’t help but give a bear hug: "My dear!"

Selvia coughed: "Captain, Deirdre is in a hurry and has important things to discuss."

Da Fei chuckled and said, "Then go ahead and speak."

Deirdre took out the Merit Contract: "Sir, I’ve found a way to rescue Mimilon, and that is to use this contract to collect 10 million Hell Merits... However, before that, we should hastily strike the weakened spider nest; this timing cannot be missed!"

Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched, a perfect opportunity! I’ve always liked that!

Da Fei urgently asked, "Tamilia, is the battlefield cleanup complete?"

"There’s just a final tidying up!"

Very good! Da Fei nodded: "Then let’s set out immediately. Let me ask you, can we collect 10 million Hell Merits if I help you clear out all the Merit nests?"

Deirdre shook her head and giggled: "With the addition of Prince Hillsea’s merit, it should almost be enough, right?"

Da Fei was suddenly shocked: "Hillsea’s merit? Didn’t he become my follower? Is there still Hell Merits like this?"

Deirdre giggled: "Is that what you think, sir? Then use this to test his loyalty. I think he won’t refuse."

Da Fei suddenly realized! So that’s it, Deirdre meant that this Hillsea might not be a false surrender but his loyalty isn’t determined yet! (To be continued.
