Global Lords: Start as a Desert Lord

Chapter 393 Lord of the Abyss - King of Rot

Huhu~

Hundreds of skeletal blood dragons with a wingspan of more than twenty meters flew away from the City of Twilight, flapping their broken dragon wings.

Behind him were six squadrons of stone statues of the dead.

The residents below saw this scene without any unnecessary expressions.

No matter what happens, they firmly believe that the great master will return victorious.

This is the confidence that Twilight City has built for them by winning again and again in the past six months.

No one can break it.

Because several heroes have their own missions, Richard did not bring any heroes with him this time except for the statue of the ancient god.

Gray and Gunter were left behind to garrison in the city.

Now he is no longer the weak lord who could only command from behind when he first entered "Glory Era".

As his personal combat effectiveness increased, his confidence was no longer the same.

The army galloped at full speed in the direction of the collapsed ruins.

Seeing that the speed of the army was not as fast as he wanted, Richard simply mobilized the power of the yellow sand to adhere to the surface of the troops to provide them with additional thrust.

This subtle movement greatly accelerated the army's flight speed.

Let the overall speed exceed 400 kilometers per hour

Looking at the flying geese behind him, Richard felt a sense of accomplishment.

This is all the wealth he has accumulated little by little.

Especially the Stone Statue of the Dead, this fusion unit is so powerful that it has no friends.

The stone statue of the dead has a birth level of 9 and a potential of 3 stars.

But its combat power is much stronger than the 1-star Crown and 10th level skeletal blood dragon.

He even has the confidence to rely on this army to overwhelm most players without having to fight personally.

The process of rushing was always a bit boring, so Richard had no choice but to communicate with the Hyena players about the situation of the collapsed ruins while flying.

I have to say that these guys do have something. With their connections, they can accurately give him the real-time status of the collapsed ruins.

As time went by, the condition of the collapsed ruins gradually became worse.

Although the number of players gathered increased dramatically, the pressure brought by the demons was even greater, and the players were forced to evacuate.

On the morning of October 19, Richard, who had been flying all night, finally came within 100 kilometers of his destination.

Looking at the getting closer marks on the system map, Richard also cheered up.

The news last night has not stopped. The ruins seem to be connected to the bottomless abyss. A large number of high-level demon players have appeared in it and have even been forced to retreat into the desert. They are about to exit the collapsed ruins.

At this moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Ding~ You triggered the regional mission: The 333rd layer of the Endless Abyss opened the passage to the Desert of Death. A large number of demons appeared in the main plane, seriously endangering the safety of Solan City. The legendary strongman - Grand Duke Solan issued an order , all the Lords of Divine Grace immediately sent troops to destroy the demons."

“All lords within 1,000 kilometers around Solan City will be forced to accept tasks. Those who refuse to perform will be regarded as indifferent by Solan City, and all contribution points will be reset to zero. In the next six months, transactions entering Solan City will be banned. Charge five times the tax.”

"During the mission period, the experience gained from hunting demons will be increased by 5 times."

"Every time you kill a demon, you can get a certain number of Solan City contribution points. The contribution points can be exchanged for high-level treasures in Solan City."

"The lord who finally seals the abyss passage will be personally rewarded by the Lord of Solan City."

"The duration of this regional mission: 3 days."

Regional mission?

Richard's eyes lit up.

This is the first time he has encountered this type of mission.

It looks pretty interesting.

But this mission only lasts three days?

Does this mean that if the demon problem is not solved after three days, Grand Duke Solan, the legendary ascetic monk, will end up personally?

He has never seen a legendary powerhouse take action, so he doesn't know if he can get a glimpse of it this time.

Immediately, the flight speed accelerated.

At this time, the private message rang again.

Hyena: "Brother Qingqiu, we have triggered a regional mission, have you received it?"

"Got it, I'll be there in twenty minutes."

The hyena was very excited to finally be able to hug his thigh again.

"Okay, we're waiting for you!"

——

"Quick, get back!!"

"Fuck, there are so many angry demons, I can't stop them."

"Be careful of the Balrogs. The level of these demons has reached level 14."

Amidst the ruins of buildings covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers.

A large number of players led their armies to fight against the demons pouring out of the central area among the ruins.

Looking down from the sky, the devil looked like a black tide, and his face was so ferocious that it sent chills down your spine.

A deep roar like a dying beast resounded throughout the world.

High-level demons even have words of sinking that make people feel frightened.

It represents the abyssal aura of extreme evil, like a giant hand grabbing the neck, making it difficult to breathe.

There are too many demons

There are countless low-level lemure demons and fallen demons, and high-level wrathful demons and balrogs can also be seen everywhere.

In the outer area, players lead an army, like a reef, resisting the waves of demons.

The priests of the sect camp continue to cast light magic, the human archers pull the bows and arrows, the gunmen of the fortress tribe pull the triggers, and the orcs' ax warriors. The various types of arms of each race are dizzying.

However, there are too many demons.

Although the player is also very tenacious, he is still forced to retreat step by step.

Moreover, they are here to hunt and earn contribution points and experience. They will not confront them head-on, so they will fight and retreat, and have no intention of fighting the devil to the death.

Richard saw this grand war scene stretching for dozens of kilometers from thousands of meters away.

Dozens of races, thousands of players, and hundreds of thousands of troops can defeat the demon army. This scene is relatively rare.

But he was not interested in getting involved at this time.

Contributing something would be useful to him, but it's not that useful. That little girl Chris is still helping him look after the Violet Chamber of Commerce.

Richard withdrew his gaze and flew in another direction according to the coordinates given by the hyenas.

A few minutes later, they sensed several hyenas hiding in a collapsed building.

Driving the skeletal blood dragon under the seat to fall in front of the ruins.

When the hyena, bald, boss, third and fourth child saw Richard arriving, they immediately came out of the bunker excitedly.

"Boss Qingqiu"

Richard looked down at the few people and said softly.

"Do you know the reason why the devil suddenly appeared?"

Baldhead said.

"No, just two days ago, a player suddenly sent a message saying that there were a lot of demons here with high experience, so I paid extra attention."

"At first, the number of demons was still under control, but then it gradually became out of control. After I noticed something strange, I asked the hyena to send you a message."

"Until the regional mission was triggered just now"

Richard frowned slightly.

The news he learned from the players who discovered the Rotten Tree was that this collapsed ruins had existed for a long time.

Now that something suddenly changed, could it be related to the Crimson Moon?

Although there is no necessary connection between them, it always gives him a very subtle feeling.

Too many things happened recently, making him a little sensitive.

"Don't get close to the central area. There may be extremely powerful demon heroes hidden inside, which is very dangerous."

"Try to help me find out the reason for the demon's appearance from the outside."

"I have something important to deal with right now, and I can't get out of it."

The combat effectiveness of these guys can only be described as mediocre. A small team of stone statues of the dead can easily kill them.

It is of no use in combat, so it is suitable for gathering information.

After a period of contact, it can be seen that although these guys are not people with high IQs, they are not idiots, and they are quite easy to use.

"Okay, you go about your business. If you need it, you can always ask."

Hyenas are very self-aware and don't talk nonsense.

The gap between them is too big, and the appointment can't help in the battle, so it is better to follow the arrangement.

After giving a brief warning, Richard did not linger much and led the army in another direction.

Looking at the skeletal blood dragon and stone statue of the dead disappearing from sight.

Several players looked enviously.

This is the real top unit. I don’t know when they will have it.

"Boss Qingqiu is worthy of being Boss Qingqiu"

Huhu~

Richard flew through the air without any scruples, and the heroic and domineering postures of the two soldiers caused many players to exclaim.

But he ignored these guys who were struggling with the demons and quickly flew to the north of the collapsed ruins.

Rotten tree.

The goal of this trip.

Although he was very curious about why the demon suddenly appeared, what was more important was to find the Rotten Tree.

Confirm whether the other party is still alive.

Can it be revived?

Others, on the contrary, are secondary.

The flight speed is very fast. No matter how wide this collapsed ruins covering an area of ​​dozens of kilometers is, it cannot withstand the speed of flying troops.

Ten minutes later, Richard saw that he coincided with the marked point on the map, and subconsciously raised his head to look ahead.

The next second, his eyes opened.

My heart was full of surprise and uncertainty.

Thousands of meters away, a huge dry tree with a height of more than fifty meters towered above the ruins of ruins and buildings.

It seems to be the scene left after the natural disaster wiped out the world. It is vicissitudes of life, ancient and dilapidated, with an atmosphere that cannot be described.

The abyss demon, which is forcing the players to retreat continuously, is now stationed a hundred meters away from the giant dry tree, as dense as locusts.

But these synonyms of evil and chaos seemed to be frightened at this moment, and they did not dare to step within a hundred meters of the giant tree, forming a striking hollow circle around it.

If you look carefully, you can see that the dozens of branches of the dry giant tree are weird. They are not only extremely twisted, but more like shriveled human arms, giving people a creepy feeling.

The most shocking thing is that there are densely packed human skulls growing on the main trunk of the giant tree, which are shaped like raised tree knots on ordinary trees.

Ordinary people will have nightmares for the first half of the year if they take just one look at it.

This is not all yet. On the ruins ground a hundred meters around the dry giant tree, there are still countless pale skeletons and all kinds of life.

It was like corpses were turned to the ground in a mass grave.

Adding countless horrors to the already horrific scene around them.

Coupled with the demons lingering around, evil, dark, cruel. It seems that all negative adjectives can be used to describe this weird and twisted tree.

This scene is extremely psychologically impactful.

Even veterans who are used to seeing life and death will feel short of breath when seeing this scene.

Richard suppressed the throbbing in his heart and continued to approach.

The demon on the ground sensed the strange aura and immediately raised his head, staring at him coldly with scarlet eyes.

A high-pitched roar erupted from his throat that made his soul tremble.

Although Richard was not affected by the demon, as he gradually approached the rotting tree, he gradually felt a terrifying pressure.

That was the pressure coming from deep within the soul.

It was as if he was being watched by an abyssal beast that could swallow the devil.

This feeling reached its peak when approaching the limit point of 100 meters from the Rotting Tree.

Taking a step further, it seemed that the abyss beast was about to open its huge mouth and swallow him.

Richard's eyes narrowed and he waved his hand to stop the army without stepping into the sky above the skeleton.

His eyes were fixed on the rotten tree that still seemed lifeless.

After calming down, he opened the properties panel.

rotten tree

Status: dead (reviving)

Introduction: The evil tree with mysterious origins.

Simple attributes make it impossible to know the specific situation.

But the resuscitating prompt behind the status bar made him feel happy at first, and then he felt a bad premonition.

Could it be that after the abyss connected to the main plane, it received energy replenishment?

This is not a good thing.

Richard frowned.

Recovery or not is not the key. The biggest question is, how can we benefit from it?

He doesn't have a treasure like the Dark Contract in his hands now.

Richard rubbed his forehead and subconsciously turned on the black gold system.

But the next moment, when he saw the prompt appearing above, his breath froze.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

[The Tree of Rot, the master of the 333rd layer of the Bottomless Abyss - the King of Rot, a seed planted by Labrese for some kind of plan, which contains a trace of Labrese's power of decay. 】

[1. It can irrigate the power of the abyss and restore the strength of the rotten tree. At that time, Labrese can use the power of rot to regain control of the rotten tree. 】

[2. You can use holy water to irrigate the rotten tree, destroy its vitality, and crush the rotten authority. Labrese will permanently lose part of the rotten authority and his strength will decrease. 】

【3. Divine power can be consumed to snatch the rotten authority hidden in the rotten tree. 】

Richard only felt his mouth was dry.

It feels like an unreal dream.

Is this rotten tree arranged by the Lord of the Abyss who rules the first plane? ?

Does it contain a hint of the other party's authority? !

What is authority?

That is the unique power of the abyss. It is the same kind of thing as the priesthood of the gods. The power of rules.

Is it really going to change recently?

Part of the soul of the Kobold God was imprisoned by him, and the statue of the Dwarf God was in his hands. Now, another backhand of the Lord of the Abyss buried in the main plane was discovered.

Is this because the new expansion is coming and some top beings are gradually emerging?

But can current players cope with such a level of existence?

Even he felt his scalp numb at the moment.

A master who can rule a plane in an extremely terrifying place like the Abyss. If a boss of this level were to challenge a god like the Kobold God alone, he would probably be able to kill him, right?
