Chapter 268: The Trap Designed by the Leader!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the great plains south of the Misty Forest…

After night fell, a large number of mechanical devices lined up neatly.

If one were to look at the Misty Forest, one would see a dazzling light emitted by the mechanical devices.

The creatures living in the Misty Forest were attracted by the light outside. Many ferocious creatures began to move toward the plains.

Behind these creatures, a strange-looking creature was collecting information.

These were messengers sent by the Alliance of Gods. They were responsible for collecting information in the Misty Forest and reporting back to the Castle of Gods for the Alliance leader.

There were many messengers like this in the entire Misty Forest.

At this moment, the messenger arrived at the edge of the Misty Forest. Its eyes recorded all the information on the plains.

After a few minutes, the messenger that had finished collecting information turned around and disappeared into the Misty Forest.

After night fell, the giant gopher that had been waiting on the mechanical fortress thought of a way to escape.

When the sky lit up, its task of holding back the mechanical army was completed.

At the same time, the giant gopher had to successfully escape before dawn, or else it would become the target of the gnome dwarves.

The gnome dwarves were very weak, but they could control powerful mechanical devices. Even if the giant gopher burrowed underground to escape, it could also be attacked by these mechanical devices.

One had to know that the thermal weapons fired by the mechanical device could not even be blocked by the dragon’s hard dragon scales, let alone the soft ground.

The only thing the giant gopher could count on was luck. As long as the giant gopher was in the underground soil, it could be lucky and dodge the attacks on the ground. It would be able to escape successfully. However, the giant gopher still did not want to use such a method that relied on luck.

It only wanted to use it as the last straw when there was no other way. The method that the giant gopher thought of was very simple.

After observing for some time, the giant gopher found that the gnome dwarves that camped there had an interesting habit.

Every hour or so, the gnome dwarves would gather together. There were at least a dozen of them, and there were at least a hundred of them.

The gnome dwarves would gather together and dance in a dance that the giant gopher did not recognize. At the same time, they would also howl loudly.

The giant gopher found this ridiculous at first. However, as the gnome dwarves performed some sort of ritual very regularly, the giant gopher knew that it would not be difficult to find an opportunity to leave this place when the gnome dwarves began to shout and dance.

This was because the defense of the entire camp was the weakest when the gnome dwarves were partying.

Even the gnome leader would join in the dancing and shouting.

It still did not understand why these gnome dwarves would perform some sort of ritual on a regular basis.

The giant gopher calculated the time in its mind. It had been almost an hour since the last time the gnome dwarves were partying.

This meant that the gnome dwarves were about to begin the ritual again.

As expected, not long after, the gnome dwarves who were in charge of guarding the gopher turned their small heads and looked at the camp.

Under the illumination of the firelight and the lights from the mechanical devices, the short gnome dwarves walked out of their tents and surrounded the city in circles at an extremely fast speed.

Then, they started the ritual again. This time, the giant gopher took a look and began to observe the expressions of the gnome dwarves.

It wanted to find something different on the gnome dwarves’ faces. Soon, the giant gopher saw that these dancing gnomes’ faces were all red.

Moreover, the giant gopher also saw that the gnome that was in charge of guarding it was also red in the face. This discovery made the giant gopher feel incredulous.

One had to know that because the giant gopher had a very high IQ, Mike allowed it to enter the castle library.

This allowed the giant gopher to read a large number of books in a short period of time, all of which were related to the general history of the Otherworld. However, the giant gopher did not read anything about the ritual of the gnome dwarves.

However, there was an introduction about the hill dwarves, which made the giant gopher think of something.

In the records about the hill dwarves, there was a paragraph describing the underground world’s sacrificial activities.

The contents of the books were detailed introductions about the sacrificial activities.

In the underground world, there were traces of magi. The book pointed out that sacrificial activities should be related to magi.

The magi wanted to use the power of the sacrificial activities to possess the dwarves’ talents, and then sacrifice the dark underground world’s demon king.

The reason why these magi wanted to do this was that the dark underground world’s demon king could allow magi to transform into higher-level creatures, the Magi God.

The giant gopher relied on its memory to recall the description of the sacrifices in the books. It was very similar to the ritual performed by the gnome dwarves in front of it.

This discovery made the giant gopher realize that these gnome dwarves in front of it were very likely creatures created by the magi.

If that was really the case, then why would the gnome dwarves attack the Dragon Castle? Why would the gnomes, who were so far away, cross all the plains and come to the Misty Forest to attack the Dragon Castle?

This was something that was hard to understand.

Even if the gnomes wanted to seize the resources of a human castle, why did they not attack the Castle of Gods that was closer?

In other words, the Alliance of Gods also participated in the gnomes’ plan to attack the Dragon Castle.

At this moment, the ritual was still going on. The careful giant gopher discovered that every time the gnome held a ritual, their bodies would become stronger.

It was just that they did not know if there were any side effects from such a sacrificial ritual.

The gnome’s ritual was about to end soon.

The giant gopher could not waste any more time. It could not wait for the next gnome’s ritual.

It was ready to escape this place now. It did as it planned. The giant gopher jumped down from the mechanical fortress.

Before the Gnome Dwarves discovered it, it dug into the soil under its feet at an extremely fast speed.

The giant gopher’s huge body instantly disappeared above the ground, leaving only a hole that was neither too big nor too small.. However, it was quickly sealed by the soil that kept gushing out from behind the gopher as it dug.
