[Corpus of the Abyss]This organization is somewhat special.

Although it was founded four hundred years ago, few people know that the Undead race has a long and almost eternal lifespan and does not have the three major desires of the living.

This results in all members of this organization being very low-key.

It's so low-key that there aren't even any rumors.

Even "Overlord", the three legends in the legends of various human countries, Dragon's Night Elder Lich, Giant Godkin Night Elder Lich, Shadow King·Terror, were not invited.

Just because I don't want to attract attention!

It can be seen that it is difficult to contact [Corpus of the Abyss]. You can only passively wait for the other party's members to appear.

"The news of the leader's death" may be a good thing...

This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind. He has now returned to Lava Zone, and his plan to recruit Brain was successful.

With the opponent's talent and Innate Talent, it is worth taking him under his wing. The only thing you need to worry about is not to damage Brain's character after this incident.

"The alliance leader wanted to contact [Corpus of the Abyss], but the direction was wrong from the beginning." Tang Zheng thought of what the alliance leader had done and shook his head.

[Corpus of the Abyss] does not want to attract attention, whether it is the actions of "Zurrernorn" that shocked countries 20 years ago, or the big commotion caused by Abelion Hills now.

This high-profile behavior is destined to result!

Therefore, Tang Zheng feels that it is a good thing that the news of "the leader's death" has spread.

The authenticity of the alliance leader's identity is actually not important!

"The only way to get people like [Corpus of the Abyss] to take the bait is 'knowledge'."

Tang Zheng was thinking as he walked on the hot ground in the direction of the Magma Sea.

Undead lost his desire for the living, but it also indirectly made his thirst for knowledge stronger, especially for some "magic knowledge".

The leader created "Death Knight" and "Soul Eater", two types of Legendary Undead's power, which also spread with the end of Abelion Hills Incident.

People of [Corpus of the Abyss] will definitely be interested.

"True Dragon Lord, I don't know which one it is."

Tang Zheng has arrived at the edge of the cliff Magma Sea. Looking at the hot magma flowing below, there is a hint of depth in his eyes.

The most important reason why he wanted to get in touch with [Corpus of the Abyss] was that True Dragon Lord had already taken control of the organization.

Such an important clue.

Tang Zheng is not going to let it go. Only by obtaining more detailed information can we know more about this unknown True Dragon Lord, so as to avoid or take advantage of its strength.

"Plop!"

The figure of Tang Zheng jumped from the towering cliff.

Wow!

The surface of the semi-liquid red flowing magma dented a pit, from which a large amount of flames shot out.

Tang Zheng was not affected by any high temperature or flame at all, and disappeared into the depths of the Magma Sea.

--Despair Valley.

The human tribe is located at Oasis.

The climate of the dry and hot environment has not affected the human figures who are farming near the Oasis water source.

Seeds are very precious.

In this desolate valley, every seed represents survival and hope.

Yaluer filled two wooden barrels from the spring water of Oasis, carried a wooden barrel in each hand, and walked carefully to the newly cultivated farmland.

At each place where the seeds are planted, water them twice with both hands, never wasting a drop.

Been busy until noon.

Yaluer straightened his back, stretched out his wheat-skinned arms, and wiped away the sweat from his silver hair.

Seeing the cultivated land after watering, Yaluer smiled happily.

They will definitely harvest a lot of food in autumn, although they are not short of food now.

The Grey Dwarf clan has been wiped out, and a large amount of grain and food has been transported to Oasis where they are located, but who would object to the large amount of food stored.

Have a simple lunch.

Yaluer put on his armor again as usual and held Lancer to patrol the area near Oasis. This was a very hard job.

The tribe's population is sparse, and it's busy farming time, so the main patrol work is done by herself.

Yaluer It doesn't feel like hard work, but it is one of the few things in the day that I am full of expectation for.

It's been half a year.

"Maybe Master Hero will come back sometime." Yaluer always believed it in his heart, but he was also a little worried.

Will Hero be in danger? Grandpa said that places outside Oasis are full of all kinds of unknown dangers.

Along the way.

There were people saying hello everywhere, and Yaluer responded one by one.

"Sister Yaluer." A timid voice came from not far away.

Yaluer stopped and looked at a young man running over from not far away, with a gray face and some tattered clothes.

No one in their tribe is good at making clothes, and they lack such materials. In addition, the climate in the valley is always hot, so most people don't actually wear much.

The cuffs and hem of this boy's clothes are obviously too big, but they fit very well. They obviously come from Grey Dwarf, and maybe they were ripped from some corpse.

A very common situation.

"Little Nick, what's wrong?" Yaluer seemed to be familiar with this young man. He bent down and said with a smile.

"This is for you."

Little Nick spread his hands and took out a fist-sized fruit.

Yaluer rubbed Little Nick's head and took the fruit. "Then you're welcome, I still have to patrol."

"Sister Yaluer, when will Master Hero come back?" Little Nick asked hopefully.

The smile on Yaluer's face dimmed for a moment, then disappeared in an instant. "Sister, I don't know either, but I will definitely come back."

"Why do you keep asking about this matter during this period? I need to help my aunt open up more farmland. Don't think too much."

Yaluer stretched out his finger and tapped Little Nick's forehead. He smiled brightly on his wheat-skinned cheeks, waved his hand, and walked towards Oasis.

Looking at the back of Yaluer gradually leaving.

Little Nick The timid look on his face disappeared, his face showed coldness and disgust, and a touch of gold emerged from the outer ring of his black pupils.

"I hate waiting!"

"I--hate you the most!"

A thick malicious whisper sounded undetectably:

"There shouldn't be other humans in this place!"

"Supreme King... Is this a punishment for disobeying my orders... No, no..."

Little Nick's face was slightly twisted and ferocious, then returned to its original state in an instant, as if everything just now was an illusion.

He has been waiting here for half a year, but the other party has never appeared. It doesn't matter, he has plenty of time!

Near Dusk.

Yaluer also finished inspecting the area around Oasis, and when he was about to return to Oasis, he noticed a black figure appearing in the desert, walking towards the setting sun.

Sudden situation!

Let Yaluer bring up Lancer and be on guard.

"Yaluer, long time no see."

Yaluer was startled at first, then Lancer loosened his grip, his face full of surprise and excitement. "Master Hero!"

crackle crackle~

The flames of the burning bonfire danced in the night, and the Oasis Tribe humans danced happily around the bonfire.

Looking at the piles of food in front of him.

Tang Zheng said helplessly to Yaluer, who was half-kneeling beside him. "This food is enough, there is no need to add more."

"Okay."

Yaluer's cheeks were rosy under the light of the campfire, and he nodded with a smile.

"Yaluer, go get a cup of boiled warm water." When the Dielong patriarch saw his daughter's appearance, he coughed lightly and said with vicissitudes of life.

Yaluer smiled and left Tang Zheng reluctantly.

"Yaluer, much more cheerful than before."

Tang Zheng turned his head and said to the Dielong clan leader.

"This is all thanks to Master Hero."

Dielong Patriarch bent down and said with a hint of emotion in his respectful tone, "That child had to carry a lot of things on her back, and everyone put too much pressure on her."

"If it hadn't been for Lord Hero's rescue and the elimination of the Grey Dwarf clan, we might have disappeared from this valley."

The Dielong patriarch once again solemnly expressed his gratitude and said, "We Oasis Tribe have nothing to repay."

Everyone in the tribe was saved by the young man in front of them, who was also a human being like them, although his origins were mysterious.

But for the Oasis family, it's not a problem at all. If it weren't for Hero, it wouldn't mean anything.

Dielong clan leaders are planning to give up their position as clan leader.

"How is Oasis where Grey Dwarf is now?" Tang Zheng asked in a serious tone.

"According to Master Hero's plan, after we withdraw from Grey Dwarf Oasis, we will give this piece of Oasis to the Orc family."

"But the other party didn't show any interest. Currently, this area of Oasis has been in a desolate state." The Dielong clan leader immediately responded in a solemn voice, with doubts and confusion in his eyes.

That is a complete Oasis!

If it weren't for the scarcity of their human members, there are only a few thousand people who can't occupy two pieces of Oasis. If someone gives them a piece of Oasis for free, he will definitely give it and accept it.

Tang Zheng was calm and not surprised by this answer.

After arriving at Despair Valley, Tang Zheng took the lead in using Teleportation magic to visit Oasis in Grey Dwarf and checked the situation there.

The inquiry just now was actually partly a test.

After all, half a year has passed, and it is still unknown what will happen on the human side. A simple test can determine whether he will trust the Oasis family next.

"It's strange indeed."

Tang Zheng frowned slightly.

A whole area of Oasis is vacant, and Orc is not interested at all. This is a desolate desert area that lacks water sources.

"Did you get any other information from Orc?" Tang Zheng spoke again.

The leader of the Dielong clan did not dare to hide anything and said, "We use the weapons, food and other resources we obtained from Grey Dwarf to trade with Orc."

"The process went smoothly, but I don't know much about the outside information and the intelligence of the Beastman Kingdom. It seems that the group of Orc don't know much either."

Dielong patriarch explained in detail, fearing that Tang Zheng would not be satisfied with the result and suspected that he did not do his best.

Strange!

Tang Zheng was thoughtful, he always felt that something was strange, but for a while he couldn't find what was wrong.

"If you don't mind, clan leader, can you describe the situation in the past six months in more detail?" Tang Zheng said to clan leader Dielong.

"No problem, Master Hero."

The Dielong patriarch began to introduce bit by bit what had happened in the past six months, especially the transactions with Orc.

People dancing in celebration.

After noticing Tang Zheng and the clan leader talking about something, they stopped the dancing and playing and actively lowered their voices for fear of affecting Tang Zheng and the other two.

Not long after, Yaluer also fetched warm water and sat quietly on one side, adding water to the Tang Zheng and Dielong patriarchs from time to time.

The night passed quickly while communicating.

A touch of fish white appeared in the east.

The flames of the bonfire have also been extinguished and smoke is rising.

Tang Zheng came back from his thoughts, and then noticed the exhausted Dielong clan leader, whose eyelids were constantly bumping against each other, trying not to let himself fall asleep.

On the ground not far away, people from Oasis were lying on the ground, sleeping soundly. It was obvious that these people had been with him all night.

"Yaluer, please let everyone go back and rest first."

Tang Zheng spoke softly to Yaluer on the side, with a slight sparkle in his eyes.

He sensed something was wrong!

Orc can actually trade with humans very smoothly. You must know that humans are an inferior race in the eyes of these Demi-Human.

Even if it was because of the destruction of Grey Dwarf, Orc would not be able to show such a friendly attitude.

Plus!

Tang Zheng also discovered an overlooked problem, why did Grey Dwarf attack humans!

The reason why Grey Dwarf attacks humans is because of the lack of water sources and the surge in the number of people in the group. As a result, the area of Oasis can no longer support the entire Grey Dwarf family.

The problem is here--

Why didn't Grey Dwarf launch an attack until Oasis could no longer carry the entire population, instead of annihilating humanity in advance?

With Grey Dwarf's ability, it can be done in advance.

"It's a bit like we have no choice but to destroy the human race." Tang Zheng murmured to himself, his eyes gradually becoming serious.

"Hero-sama."

A timid voice sounded.

Tang Zheng came back to his senses and looked at an eleven or twelve-year-old boy opposite, who was walking over cautiously.

"You are?"

Tang Zheng tried his best to put a gentle smile on his face and spoke softly.

"His name is Little Nick." Yaluer then helped the patriarch Dielong up and spoke first with a smile.

"Oh, Little Nick, what's the matter?"

"Um...Hero-sama, only one person came here?"

"That's right, I'm the only one." Tang Zheng smiled.

Little Nick Nick lowered his head and muttered slightly, "It turns out there is only one person."

In an instant.

Little Nick appeared in front of Tang Zheng in the blink of an eye, as if teleporting.

Tang Zheng's eyes changed instantly.

"Air Burst Fist"!

The petite fist was swung out, and the air in front was broken in an instant, with a diffuse impact visible to the naked eye, hitting Tang Zheng in front of him.

Boom!

A thunderous roar exploded out of thin air.

The figure of Tang Zheng turned into a black stream of light and smashed into the big trees on Oasis, blasting into the desert in the distance.
