Netherworld Dao Soldiers

"Hint: You have killed an elite demon."

You have obtained the Iron Mother Golden Pot.

You obtained Scribbled Diary.

You have obtained the Dragon City Handbook (incomplete version).

Extermination Order: You have acquired the special skill from the elite demon - Gathering Qi Technique

Gathering Qi Technique: You can slightly increase the flow rate of True Qi within your Qi Aperture...

This skill is truly useless.

However, it revealed the origins of this elite sorcerer to Roger...

"Was this guy once a Qi Refiner?"

Roger raised an eyebrow.

I was a little surprised.

After casually taking down the other two continuously berserk demons...

Roger carefully reconstructed the scene from what had just happened.

It was confirmed not long ago.

These demons still retain very fragmented human consciousness.

This phenomenon indicates that it hasn't been long since they became demons.

"Could it be that there are still living Qi Refiner on the planet Telodal?"

Roger rubbed his temples, somewhat incredulous.

The example of Longevity Village is still fresh in our minds.

After the Blue Blood King replaced Telodal, he must have carried out unimaginable transformations of this planet.

The Qi Refiner probably never imagined that the star lord they trusted had become an ancient demon from the abyss.

In this situation, it is perfectly normal to be gradually eroded.

Even today.

Roger believed that the vast majority of Qi Refiner or mortals on the planet Telodal had already fallen into the clutches of the Blue Blood King.

He swept through the area.

Many of the demons they encountered were transformed from unknown sources many years ago.

Only this wave.

It seems like they really only recently suffered this misfortune!...

"Could there really be survivors hiding nearby?"

"Could it be that old fox Blue Blood King is fishing again?"

Roger remained secretly on guard.

He quickly gathered his spoils.

Then they left far away.

I found a place.

Roger began examining the items left behind by the elite sorcerer.

First and foremost is that Iron Pot.

This thing looks ordinary.

But in fact...

This is a magical item with storage capabilities!

"Iron Mother Golden Pot: A magical artifact that can be used to enrich the Five Elements Qi."

Special Effect 1: The Geng Metal Qi

The Geng Metal Qi: This magical artifact contains a Primordial Geng Metal Mother Qi.

If you put the Five Elements Refined Metal into the pot.

Forty-nine days later.

You will then be able to obtain a higher quality Five Elements Golden Mother.

Special Effect 2: Mount Sumeru Mustard Seed

Mount Sumeru Mustard Seed: This magical artifact has a total of 99 storage compartments.

Each compartment can hold items the size of a standard thatched hut.

Note: Idle cells can be stacked on top of each other.

Special Effect 3: Extraterrestrial Flying Pot

Extraterrestrial Flying Pot: Consumes a small amount of Qi to throw this magical artifact.

Hitting an enemy will stun them 100% of the time.

The specific effect depends on the amount of Qi consumed.

Note: When you successfully hit an enemy, half of the energy consumed will be refunded.

In general.

This Iron Mother Golden Pot is quite a good magic weapon.

The ability to mass-produce the Five Elements Golden Mother can save users a significant amount of resource costs.

The extra-large storage space and stackable design are also very user-friendly.

The last point, however, was somewhat unexpected.

Roger always thought this magical artifact was for self-defense.

Moreover, they can usually provide a fairly high level of interaction value.

Who would have thought that this magical artifact was designed to be used to smash people...

100% guaranteed to knock you unconscious.

This special effect isn't particularly impressive.

But if used properly, it can also be used to trick people...

"It seems there's no explanation of the power limit for this move... If I could unleash a huge amount of energy in one go, would there be a chance I could knock out even a god?"

Lost in thought.

Roger carefully put away the magical artifact.

We plan to test its effectiveness in actual combat after further refinement.

His gaze shifted to the Scribbled Diary and the Dragon City Handbook.

The diary itself doesn't have many pages.

Same as the description on the data column.

The handwriting used by the recorder was also very messy.

Roger couldn't understand it at all.

They even suspected that the other party was not using a Common Language or some language they already knew!

"It looks like complete nonsense..."

Roger frowned.

But his intuition told him otherwise.

There must be something hidden in this diary.

Unfortunately, Roger is now piloting Beya Two.

Perception Authority has limited influence.

There's no way to translate Roger's diary across the starry sky.

As for the final Dragon City Handbook.

It was also torn to pieces.

Roger pieced it together for a while.

Finally, a clue has been found!...

"Hint: You have obtained a map of the area south of Dragon City (incomplete version)"

"Finally, a map..."

Roger breathed a sigh of relief.

These days he hunts demons in the wilderness.

Although it relied on the overwhelming combat power of Beya Two, it also accumulated a portion of Pure Land Pearl and Time Authority Rank Fragments.

But the efficiency was far from as high as expected.

On the one hand.

The distribution of the sorcerers themselves is rather scattered and disorderly.

In order not to alert the Blue Blood King.

Roger could almost only rely on his naked eye to search for traces of these monsters.

This is quite strenuous; on the other hand.

This is because they knew nothing about the surrounding area.

To Roger, the entire planet Telodal appeared shrouded in a thick fog.

The information he obtained from Longevity Village was clearly outdated.

Where are the demons and monsters around here?

He had no clue whatsoever.

We can only explore little by little by relying on our own strength.

In this case.

It has become a luxury to farm enough Time Authority Rank Slots in two months.

Therefore, Roger was eager to learn more about the area.

Maps are one of the most important tools.

At present.

He copied the relatively incomplete map by replicating the scroll.

The relevant information points have also become much clearer.

Roger's right hand kept groping on the map.

Soon.

Roger found the coordinates sufficient for location—

"That mountain to the west should be the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range marked on the map..."

"The confluence of San Jiang —there's no mistake, this place once housed a bustling wharf..."

"On the map, the San Jiang flow into the Great Moon River, then flow north and east, and this is Longcheng. With such a superior geographical location, it's no wonder that it once developed into one of the more prosperous cities on this planet..."

Roger carefully memorized the information on the map.

It is known that demons are transformed from humans.

Especially Qi Refiner and Martial Artist.

Almost 100% of them will become monsters after being infected!

Judging from the Aberrant Matter remaining on their bodies...

The Aberrant Matter invasion medium on the planet Telodal appears to have changed from ether to gas...

This is completely different from other places.

This is one of the reasons why Roger was wary of the Blue Blood King.

This guy is not only an ancient relic from the abyss.

And he even has connections with the Vortex Creature! "My current goal is to find more demonic beings. If the opportunity arises, exploring the Qi Refiner civilization on Planet Telodal would also be beneficial..."

"Then let's head north! To Dragon City! There should be even more demons gathered there!"

Once the direction is determined.

Roger crossed the riverbed.

It flew swiftly and low towards the distant wild grass.

Along the way.

He indeed encountered even more demons than before!

Although Beya Two is not his own clone.

However, he possesses quite a few killing Divine Art.

Most of the demons are actually quite weak in combat.

In addition, Roger quickly assembled a set of Pure Land Pearl.

It can achieve seamless continuous firing of the Buddhist Fire.

Therefore, virtually no sorcerer could withstand a single attack of his Buddhist Fire.

Two days have passed.

The progress bar for the Time Authority Rank has increased significantly.

The number of Pure Land Pearl is also steadily increasing.

But Roger was not careless.

He remained as cautious as ever.

After each hunt down of the demon.

They would all try to destroy the evidence.

To avoid leaving any traces that the Blue Blood King could detect.

Everything was proceeding smoothly according to Roger's plan.

The only thing that made Roger uncomfortable was...

Over the past two days, he encountered several strangely shaped Black Lotus in the wilderness.

These lotus flowers are different from the dead trees nearby.

They are not only alive.

Moreover, they displayed remarkable vitality! And when Roger wanted to conduct further research on these Black Lotus...

But he found that as soon as his hand touched the lotus petals...

The Black Lotus will then completely vanish into thin air.

They won't leave Roger any useful information.

I've encountered this many times.

Roger became more cautious.

He would often walk around the Black Lotus.

Then find a quiet place to observe the specific condition of these lotus flowers.

However, he ultimately didn't have that much time to spend on these trivial matters.

Moreover, during the several hours of the observation period.

These lotus flowers are no different from ordinary plants.

Their petals will flutter in the wind.

But it will soon disappear as if Roger had touched it; around the Black Lotus growing.

Roger never found any sorcerers.

Later on...

This latter pattern almost became one of Roger's methods for tracking down monsters—

As long as you see Black Lotus.

He would definitely turn around and leave.

Anyway, there's no way there could be any monsters around here!

As for what exactly is unusual about this Black Lotus.

Roger was too lazy to explore.

As long as it's confirmed that it's not something the Blue Blood King used to monitor him, that's fine.

Planets like Telodal.

They have been persecuted for far too long.

It's normal for some strange things to emerge.

That's all.

Roger continued to hunt down the sorcerers cautiously.

Two days later.

Southern part of Longcheng.

Nestled among rolling hills.

With the aid of Stealth Spell and Flight Spell.

Roger flew through the dead forest like a ghost.

Not far away.

Several demons were staggering along the riverbank.

They pushed and shoved each other into the woods.

Judging from the appearance.

These strange beings seem to be just more dull and stiff than ordinary people.

But after these days of observation and research...

Roger could tell at a glance that the humanity and intelligence of this group of monsters had been completely extinguished.

Their actions are driven by nothing but primal desires.

Really.

The demons shoved each other for a short while.

Then the traditional program began again—

They shared the food.

Roger was too lazy to look anymore.

He raised his hand, ready to unleash a divine spell.

But at that very moment...

Beneath a thick layer of fallen leaves in the woods.

Suddenly, a sparse sound came from the air.

Immediately afterwards.

A shadow spread out from beneath the fallen leaves.

I quickly drew a circle.

A strange buzzing sound rang out.

Sections of black lotus root pushed aside the fallen leaves.

A giant Black Lotus appeared out of nowhere in the woods.

The lotus flower appeared.

The demons seemed to have sensed something—

This was the first time Roger had ever seen the demons, who had clearly gone mad, suddenly calm down! They quickly discarded the blood food in their hands.

Then they staggered and scattered in all directions.

But their speed was clearly not enough.

On the lotus petals.

Black handprints appeared.

Hand seals Turn the Imaginary into Reality.

It shot out!

In the blink of an eye.

They pierced the air.

Then, with fierce and brutal force, he yanked onto the demon! "Aaaaah!"

Screams echoed through the grove.

Roger saw those demons being pulled into the lotus flower without prior arrangement.

A faint black light flickered continuously.

Not long after.

The demons then vanished without a trace.

In the vast forest, only one black lotus flower remained, blooming quietly.

Roger approached with a serious expression.

The lotus flower showed no reaction.

After observing for a while, no results were found.

He tried to touch the Black Lotus with his hand.

The result was the same as usual.

The Black Lotus vanishes completely upon contact.

They didn't even leave him a scrap of dust!

"This lotus flower can actually devour demons? No, it hasn't had a chance to devour them yet; the demons have simply been moved to another location!"

Roger's expression was unpredictable.

He had previously thought that the Black Lotus would have a repulsive or expulsive effect on the demons.

That's why groups of demons don't appear near the lotus flower.

In retrospect, however, cause and effect have been reversed.

Where there are Black Lotus.

This means that all the demons in the vicinity have been devoured! "That handprint just now resembled the technique of Qi Refiner, but it's definitely not from a reputable sect..."

Roger began to ponder the origins of the Black Lotus.

This thing definitely wasn't made by the Blue Blood King.

After all, Telodal's current situation is entirely his doing.

If he wanted to eliminate the demon, he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble.

But this Black Lotus must have an owner!

Roger was initially indifferent to this.

But this Black Lotus has actually extended its demonic claws to the demons.

That made him really uncomfortable!

Regardless of the other party's purpose.

Roger should definitely keep an eye on this.

Leaving aside Time Authority Rank.

He spent a lot of money to get the optimized design of the Pure Land Pearl.

Among them, the sorcerer is the most important First Ring.

He won't let this go!

"It's a pity there's no way to track down the demons' whereabouts..."

Roger looked at the various divine spells carried by Beya Two.

He shook his head.

Although the list of divine spells is quite comprehensive.

But he dared not use most Divination Spells.

Using it might alert the Blue Blood King.

He could only rely on some Tracking Techniques to study these Black Lotus scattered in the south of Dragon City.

"Perhaps there are some common characteristics among the locations where the Black Lotus appears..."

Thinking this way.

Roger took out the map.

I started marking it seriously.

Next.

He continued northward.

He encountered an increasing number of Black Lotus along the way.

The number of sorcerers is becoming increasingly scarce.

When Roger arrived at a plain south of the Dragon City gate.

Where the naked eye can see.

It was filled with countless Black Lotus! And the demonic group he longed for day and night.

But there wasn't a single one!

"These days, even killing monsters has its competitors..."

Roger shook his head with a wry smile.

Then she floated lightly through the Black Lotus.

We arrived at the top of the city wall at the south gate of Longcheng.

"Hint: You have arrived in Dragon City..."

You've discovered the Netherworld Dao Soldiers...
