Chapter 1354: Easy Persuasion

Chapter 1354: Easy Persuasion

The magic battleships moved on. The news that a Blood Elves’ city was destroyed had been sent back. Every bloody crystal had been linked to each other. The destruction of one bloody crystal could easily be detected. It meant the destruction of a city’s defense. If a city lost its defense, it was easy to tell what would happen.

It had been countless years since the Blood Elves’ city was destroyed. The incident received the attention of the Blood Elves’ leadership. Unfortunately, by the time their reinforcements arrived, not a living creature could be seen in the place. Lin Yun and the others had already reached the Blood Elves’ mines.

The Blood Elves that guarded the mines were either killed or enslaved. It wasn’t difficult for Bulinwon, who had already surrendered, to convince the miner Cave Gnomes to work for Lin Yun.

It was the norm that a couple of the Cave Gnomes died at work while mining every day. When an accident happened, dozens of Cave Gnomes might get killed.

When Lin Yun arrived, he even saw a pit outside of the mines where the bodies of dead Cave Gnomes were thrown. Those Cave Gnomes mostly didn’t die in the mines, because the bodies of victims in the mines usually couldn’t be found. All of them were tortured to death by the Blood Elf supervisors.

The situation here was slightly better than what he had seen in the small city earlier. All Cave Gnomes were sent into the Natural Demiplane. The mana of the captured Blood Elves was sealed. Even if the Blood Elves wanted to do anything, the Cave Gnomes would be able to kill them easily.

He had known that the Blood Elves had a bad temper, but he didn’t know that their souls were corrupted. No wonder they were more perverted than devils.

After Lord Shawn reported the finding to him, Lin Yun was deep in thought. Perverts made up a huge portion among the Blood Elves, and their souls had surely been corrupted. However, Lord Shawn tore apart a dozen Blood Elves’ souls, and found all of their souls were corrupted to various degrees. If Lord Shawn hadn’t been an extraordinary manipulator of souls, he wouldn’t have discovered the corruption hidden deep inside the soul.

Lin Yun remembered the crazy mages’ research that he read about in books. Many mages would do anything to pursue the truth. They even caught and dissected Blood Elves for studies.

Even so, little progress was made on the research of Blood Elves. They were unable to confirm how the Blood Elves were born. Neither of the two theories could disprove the other. It was one of the few things that Noscent mages couldn’t reach a conclusion on after a long time of research.

Considering the Blood Elves’ abnormal soul and the Blood Essence mines that contained enormous power, Lin Yun suddenly had a bold speculation, and he believed that the speculation was likely to be true.

The Cave Gnomes in this large area were all taken away. More than 40,000 Cave Gnomes were enough for his demand. In a stable environment with enough resources, they would reproduce much faster than human beings.

There was once a time when different species of gnomes established a small kingdom in the north of the Odin Kingdom. Unfortunately, their shortcoming, which was the lack of strength as individuals, was obvious. Although their kingdom was very powerful, and awed the forces nearby for decades, they were too weak as individuals, and the magic buildings, alchemy puppets, and magic weapons they built couldn’t save them from being destroyed.

In a war, a Heaven Rank mage who was aware of their weakness could cast an area curse, and kill 10,000 gnomes. A blast of soul power that wasn’t very pure could rip apart the souls of thousands of gnomes too.

This was a world that belonged to the strong anyway. One’s own strength was what mattered.

The gnomes’ reproduction ability and their deft hands gave all the conflicting forces nearby a feeling of crisis. Naturally, they joined their forces, and destroyed the gnome civilization.

Now that Lin Yun had found tens of thousands of gnomes, their population might double in 10 years. He would not be able to just build a Shelter Tower, but also ask them to create buildings in his territory.

He left with his team, and went on to search for the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers, who were easier to deal with than the Cave Gnomes. While the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers weren’t respected in the underground world, they had nothing that interested other races. Also, it was impossible to eliminate all of them. After 10,000 years of chaos in the underground, the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers wouldn’t be extinct, although their population would plummet.

Nobody knew the places where the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers gathered more clearly than the Cave Gnomes did. One of the two races was slaves to the Chromatic Dragons, and the other was food. They knew each other very well. Also, the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers lived underground too. They were like neighbors to each other.

Bulinwon had already become an expert in talking other people into submission. He led his tribe to surrender at the beginning, and convinced other Cave Gnomes to surrender too. He had already become the boss of all the tens of thousands of Cave Gnomes, who wouldn’t support anyone else after they all had a delicious meal that he offered…

Then, Bulinwon led Lin Yun to the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers’ habitat.

It was also in the Tungus Mountain, which was quite big, and was home to a lot of races. However, the Cave Gnomes usually lived on the edge that had the least resources. They couldn’t even defeat unintelligent beasts…

The Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers’ situation was better. Also, very few powerful creatures would fight them for the place they lived in because the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers generally lived in lava caves underground next to lava rivers. No species would go to those places except the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers, who could swim in lava.

After they arrived, everybody stayed still except for Bulinwon, who entered one of the caves that was reeking of the stench of sulfur with a ball of magma that Lin Yun gave him.

In only half an hour, Bulinwon returned with a human-shaped creature that was emitting hot air.

He looked similar to any other Spirit Sucker, with wet skin and eight tentacles under his chin. He was slim and taller than average human beings. His arms could reach his knees. He had big hands that had webs on them.

When the big buy came out, there were still traces of lava left on the eight tentacles on his chin. After Bulinwon pointed at Lin Yun, the Red-Skinned Spirit Sucker immediately crouched on the ground, showing his submission according to the rule of the underground world.

“Great Master, I, Andrew, pledge loyalty to you on behalf of the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers, as long as you guarantee that we will receive the delicious food.”

Andrew crouched on the ground and submitted. He made his terms clear first. The others were slightly surprised, but Lin Yun had seen it coming.

The Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers were remote relatives to normal Spirit Suckers, who reproduced by capturing other creatures, and planting their eggs in the captives. After the melting completed, the Spirit Suckers would grow inside the captives’ bodies, and might even acquire their memories.

So, all Spirit Suckers looked different from each other. Some of them might only be one meter tall, and some could be more than three meters tall. The one thing they had in common was the eight tentacles underneath their chins. That was the common feature of all Spirit Suckers.

The Spirit Suckers’ personality depended on the creatures they resided in, but the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers were different. They laid their eggs in magma, and let the eggs absorb the power of magma to grow up. Nothing but magma flowed in their head…

They were not the smartest beings. This guy was already smart enough to offer his term so straightforwardly. But as soon as they submitted, they would never betray…

Lin Yun nodded quickly.

“I assure you that you’ll live a better life in your new home. It’s possible that there will be extraordinary lives in your race.”

Receiving Lin Yun’s promise, Andrew instantly rose and returned to the cave. A dozen minutes later, a swarm of Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers walked out of the cave. Many of them carried magma-stained eggs with the tentacles underneath their chin.

Lin Yun opened the gate to his Natural Demiplane, directing them to the volcanoes in the south, which were suitable for the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers’ survival.

It was not until half an hour later that all the 30,000 Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers finally entered the Natural Demiplane.

Xiuban could hardly accept what just happened. “Is that it? Is there nothing but magma in their brains? They’ve submitted just like that?”

Enderfa’s left face seized the opportunity to mock him. “Idiot, it’s true that their head is full of scorching magma. You don’t know that? You don’t know that they were never the smartest people? You’re even dumber than the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers!”

Bulinwon, the expert persuader, had made another great contribution. Without him, it wouldn’t have been easy to subdue those guys. They might have all dived into the magma and relocated when they detected danger. Then, it would’ve been difficult to track them down.

“Red-Skinned Spirit Sucker” was originally other races’ insulting way of addressing them. However, those guys acknowledged the title in the end, which was evidence enough that their brains were different from those of normal creatures.

The Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers fed on magma. The purer and more powerful the magma was, the more they would love it. The magma in the Natural Demiplane was just born, and was pure and powerful. The Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers couldn’t possibly resist it.

Tempted by the irresistible food, the safe environment, and the strong protector, the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers never thought if he was luring them away to eat them.

The Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers thought differently from all the normal intelligent creatures.

The Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers could spout scorching mucus that could combine all the parts of a magic building perfectly. With the Queen’s Fluid from the monster plane, the magic buildings to be built would at least be a level better. The Cave Gnomes were sort of the technicians, and the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers would be the laborers.

In a safe environment, when powerful magma was available, the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers could reproduce very fast. Under favorable circumstances, they could even lay dozens of eggs in a year.

The most important mission during the trip to the underground world had been accomplished. The Cave Gnomes and the Red-Skinned Spirit Suckers were already found. The reborn 73rd God would be the next target.

However, the underground world was chaotic in general, and had far more races than Noscent. Human beings of the three kingdoms occupied more than 90% of Noscent. There were only some other races further down the south of the Odin Kingdom. Human beings, or rather human mages, were dominant in Noscent.

However, in the underground world, the territories of different races often intertwined. It was unlikely to see the creatures of just one species unless it was in the center of their territory.

It was extremely challenging to find the reborn 73rd God in this place. In Noscent, it was easy to track down any super genius that popped out of nowhere. However, in the underground world, communication was very difficult. It was possible that even if a genius of a certain race had already risen to the Heaven Rank, the other races were still unaware of their existence…

To find the reborn 73rd God, Lin Yun needed the help of locals. Lin Yun focused his attention on Darri.

“Darri, take me to your tribe. I need to ask your tribe to find someone for me. I don’t know which race he’s among, but he’s extremely gifted. He boasts terrifying wisdom and strength. He’s at least level 47 now, if not even stronger.

“You may disseminate the message. Anyone who offers valuable leads will be rewarded with the same food that you ate earlier. Nobody will refuse this deal, will they?”

Hearing that, Darri was thrilled.

This is just great. I don’t care whether a great amount of food will bring trouble to my tribe. The more food, the better.

This powerful lord is a horrifying being who masters an entire world. It will be best if the other races all learn that our tribe has a lot of food so that they will help him look for the target. Even if any of them try to rob us of the food, it will be fine.

This merciful lord won’t let us die for nothing. We can move to his world. It will be better than here. This wretched place doesn’t have enough food, just wars. All the good farmers have been caught by the most powerful races. Without food, it’s impossible for the other races to rise.

As soon as the lord truly accepts me, my tribe will receive inexhaustible food. It’s better to follow him than to die in this wretched world.

With Darri leading the way, the magic battleships quickly moved to his tribe.

Arriving at Darri’s tribe, Lin Yun realized why Darri went traveling when he couldn’t make a breakthrough. There were only 3,000 people in the tribe, and only 20 children. There were no elders. All the lizards were healthy adults, but their life wasn’t great.

When the magic battleships arrived, hundreds of lizards were waiting around the fire, where an unknown creature that was only a meter long was being roasted.

There were no buildings in the tribe. They all lived in caves. There was nothing but desolation within dozens of kilometers, not even a tree that was taller than one meter. It was almost a desert. Even a rat would be seen clearly if it passed by.

Darri was rather awkward and embarrassed by the situation too. It was quite lucky that such a strong guy like him had emerged in such a poor tribe.

“Sir Merlin, I left my tribe because I wanted to find food for all of them. But in all these years, I’ve been involved in too much trouble. I could only send food to them in secret, and couldn’t let anyone see me. I couldn’t offer too much food, either, or it’d get them into trouble…”

Darri sobbed as he talked. Lizards were actually a populous half-beastman species. Unfortunately, they ate everything. They could eat an entire tree from its leaves to its root. They didn’t know restraint. This huge desert around the tribe was probably the lizards’ work.

If the lizards hadn’t been agile and good at using sabers, and they hadn’t been among the finest warriors, they would’ve been eliminated. Even so, they usually had to survive by working for other races. They only needed to fight, and didn’t need to care about anything else.

This was definitely one of the poorest tribes among lizards. It couldn’t have been easy for Darri, who was too strong for the tribe, to emerge, and it was only natural that he got himself into trouble when he just left the tribe. There were only a few experts as strong as Great Swordsmen in the tribe, and none as strong as a Sword Saint, not to mention a top Sword Saint such as Darri.
