Doomsday Code

Chapter 696: Little People Also Have Heroic Spirits

The Black Dragon King responded slowly, then curled his lips and said:

"That's unpredictable. Who knows if those mindless monsters can still be controlled after eating people."

Chen Cheng glared at him and said:

"Don't think that no one can cure you now. If you can't do it, then you will be in trouble."

As he spoke, a contract magic pattern flashed across Chen Cheng's arm.

Upon seeing this, the Black Dragon King's face turned ashen.

When Chen Cheng saw him like this, he said unhappily:

"Don't act so pitiful here. If you can really deal with those two beast kings, you will end up making things difficult for yourself.

If it succeeds, you will earn the most money.”

After saying all these empty words, Chen Cheng also said some real things.

"Besides, you still want to cultivate the Dragon Blood Sacred Tree, right? The spiritual veins in the Nanmu Forest are in the hands of those two Beast Kings. If you get rid of them, you will also have spiritual veins to cultivate your Dragon Blood Sacred Tree."

When Chen Cheng mentioned controlling the Nanmu Forest, the Black Dragon King didn't take it seriously, because he knew that as long as the contract was in place, his control would be no different from Chen Cheng's.

But cultivating the Dragon Blood Tree is different.

He had been troubled by this before.

He is not an elf and cannot stay in the Moonlight Forest for long, and it is impossible for him to return to Dragon Island now. If he wants to cultivate the Dragon Blood Tree, he must find a spiritual vein outside.

But is this spiritual vein so easy to find? Either it is occupied by the powerful Beast King, or it is occupied by the human kingdom to mine the magic spirit stone.

Although he is very powerful, which magical beast that can become the Beast King is not strong?

What's more, they are all old beast kings with many beast kings under their command, while he is alone. No matter how strong he is, he is afraid of being surrounded and beaten.

Don't wait until you are covered in wounds and your spirit veins are taken away, and then other beast kings will take advantage of the situation and attack you.

Chen Cheng's words reminded him that the two beast kings were going crazy and wanted to attack this guy's territory. If he joined forces with the elves of the elven tribe to kill the two beast kings, he would have the spiritual vein to cultivate the sacred tree.

Seeing the Black Dragon King's eyes rolling around, Chen Cheng knew something was going to happen.

“Okay, I will do my best to control the beast tide, but I have to wait until you have truly dealt with those two guys.

Otherwise, once the beast tide is formed, if I fight with them for control of the beast tide, the beast tide will most likely get out of control.

If I can't control the beast tide by then, don't blame me."

The Black Dragon King was also a shrewd guy. He was afraid that Chen Cheng and the others would set a trap for him, so he took precautions in advance.

Not to mention that Chen Cheng didn't have that intention, even if he did, he couldn't care less at this moment.

What's more, the contract is still in his hands, so it is completely unnecessary to leave trouble behind to restrain the Black Dragon King.

After making the plan, the Black Dragon King did not stay any longer and directly took his remaining three men into the depths of the forest.

In the words of the Black Dragon King, if he followed Chen Cheng for too long, something bad would inevitably happen when he really had to control the beast tide, so it would be better for him to leave first.

Chen Cheng and his companions also rested for a while, and then continued to hurry on their journey.

When we reached the end of the ancient road, a fortress had been built there.

However, at this time, the fortress was already deserted.

Chen Cheng knew that Huidun must have discovered the big commotion in Nanmu Forest, so he withdrew his men.

Just as Chen Cheng and his party walked to the bottom of the fortress, Sifit suddenly jumped onto the fortress and grabbed a guy who was peeking out from the city wall.

You can tell from the way this guy is dressed that he is not from the regular army, he must be an adventurer.

Sifit brought the man to Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng looked at the guy and asked:

"Why are you here? Don't you know the beast tide is coming? Are you interested in the weapons left in the fortress and want to steal them and sell them for money?"

Chen Cheng was not talking nonsense. These adventurers looked great and glorious, but in fact most of them were doing some sneaky things.

The adventurer was stunned by the sight of Sifit flying in the sky. After all, as a small fry like him, he might never have seen a truly epic attack in his life.

Not to mention knowing that humans can fly.

He finally came back to his senses after being called out by Chen Cheng in a stern voice.

Then he told the whole story in detail.

It turns out that Huidun City discovered the unusual movements in the forest earlier than the elves.

After all, this ancient road was discovered and many people wanted to enter it, so a fortress was specially built here.

Moreover, there are many mines in the Nanmu Forest, so naturally the City Lord's Mansion has search and exploration tasks posted in the Adventurer's Guild all year round.

The unusual movement of the beasts was also discovered by an adventurer who had accepted a training and exploration mission.

“After the incident was discovered, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately ordered General Kurtz to investigate the matter deep in the forest.

Ten days ago, General Kurtz returned from the depths of the forest and reported the results of his investigation to His Highness. It was that the two real overlord-level beast kings of the Nanmu Forest had joined forces to form a beast tide to attack the entire Western Province.

Moreover, not only here, but also other cities in the province have gradually obtained intelligence in the past few days. Now the entire Western Province is in chaos.

Many city lords and noble lords were selling off their assets and leaving the Western Province with vouchers.

I've been assigned by the guild to be here as a scout. If I spot a beast tide approaching, I must report immediately."

"Since those great masters have all fled, why don't you adventurers run away? I remember that you are not the kind of people who are brave enough to sacrifice your lives."

Chen Cheng's words were not an insult, because this was one of the labels of most adventurers.

This seemingly cowardly adventurer, who had told everything out loud after being frightened by Chen Cheng and the others, now held his head high and said:

"You're right. Most of us are indeed cowards, but things are different now. We are native Westerners.

And even if those cowardly fellows ran away, it would be fine. Now that His Highness is with us in the Western Territory, how can we, as people from the Western Territory, run away?"

At this moment, the adventurer's cowardice and fear of death disappeared, and he exuded an air of "no one else can do it but me".

In fact, if you think about it, the fact that this guy can take on such a dangerous front-line reconnaissance mission is enough to show that he is not a coward now.

At this time, Chen Cheng also nodded and said:

"I apologize for what I just said, but I don't know how many people like you are still here."

The reason why Chen Cheng took so long to ask him was because he was a member of the grassroots group, and what he heard from him would be more real than what he heard from Huidun.

This does not mean that Chen Cheng believes that Huidun is falsifying information, but that when the government system is in operation, there will always be some bias after passing through several hands.
