War Secrets

Volcanic Crater.

Thick smoke billowed out.

After the roar.

It was a strange howling wind emanating from inside the mountain.

It was as if countless streams of air were gushing out from inside.

The airflow carried extremely hot magma.

In a short time.

Volcanic Crater rose and steam filled the crater.

Every now and then you can see a lot of Mars jumping around.

"Not good!"

A skilled observer in the caravan exclaimed in alarm, "A monster is about to emerge from the mountain's interior!"

Although the guards of the Sulfur Merchant Guild are all highly skilled.

The creature that could cause such a massive upheaval must be Super Giant Monsters.

With their strength.

It's not that we can't win.

Instead, they may pay a heavy price.

Everyone is taking on mercenary missions, not raiding missions.

There's no need to work so hard.

Therefore, at the first moment.

All the temporary guards quickly retreated to the foot of the mountain.

Let's go!

Someone shouted to Wa Li Duo, "It might still be possible to get down the mountain now, this road is blocked!"

Seeing the temporary guards retreat so decisively.

Wa Li Duo's heart sank.

He was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

But he could only order the members of the Chamber of Commerce to retreat down the mountain! He knew this too.

This momentum rarely ends in just the first wave.

Subsequent developments may be beyond our control.

It's always a good idea to avoid direct confrontation.

Therefore.

He began to give orders loudly.

But.

He finally managed to organize the caravan and retreat down the mountain.

We didn't walk very far.

The guards who had retreated earlier hurriedly caught up with the mountain.

"What's wrong?"

Wa Li Duo's heart sank.

The Volcanic Crater behind him is becoming increasingly active.

Indistinctly.

You can even see a thick tentacle sticking out from inside.

The tentacles were covered with scalding hot suckers.

I wonder what kind of creature's organ it is!

If we don't retreat quickly...

It seems we'll really have to face this Super Giant Monsters that suddenly appeared out of nowhere! "There's an ambush down the mountain..."

Someone said bitterly, "Although they weren't lying in ambush, it feels like we're surrounded..."

It happened in the blink of an eye.

At the foot of the mountain where everyone had just walked.

A large group of demons, their bodies shimmering with white fluorescence and clad in heavy metal armor, appeared.

The White Armor Warriors ignored the members of the Sulfur Merchant Guild.

They all wielded a massive two-handed sword.

His eyes were fixed intently on the direction of the Volcanic Crater!

When Wa Li Duo saw the mark on the White Armor Warriors's chest.

He couldn't help but gasp. "Seraphim Armament!"

He had several skilled individuals around him who seemed to know about the "Seraphim Armament".

It quickly changed color as well.

What do we do now?

The commotion at the Volcanic Crater was becoming increasingly obvious.

Rocks on the perimeter began to fall.

Signs of large-scale fracturing have appeared in the southern breach.

Lava gushed out from it.

They rushed down the mountain like a mudslide.

And it emerged along with the lava.

More suction cups and tentacles! "The monster is coming out!"

A cold and beautiful female demon sorceress next to her began casting a spell.

Her eyeballs suddenly detached from their sockets.

After it expanded several times over.

Then it flickered with an eerie purple light!

"It's Tumor Dragon!"

The sorceress screamed:

"Why is there Demon Dragon Race lord here?"

No one answered her question.

Everyone was thinking about how to retreat.

But this is also an unsolvable dilemma—

The mountain is Tumor Dragon.

They cannot rise to the challenge.

Below the mountain is the legion Seraphim Armament.

Judging from their attitude, they're unlikely to let me go.

Although their target is the Tumor Dragon.

But who knows if this legion had any intention of driving caravans to become cannon fodder?

Originally.

If the Seraphim Legion had fewer members.

The high-end combat force gathered by the Sulfur Merchant Guild is not incapable of fighting.

But the enemy's numbers were close to 500, and no one had noticed before.

This is a bit scary—

Who knows how many soldiers they've ambushed here! Caravan guards are only so good at dealing with bandits and robbers.

Fighting against the Regular Army.

That's pure suicide.

Not to mention the guards.

Even Wa Li Duo himself hadn't considered this possibility!...

But that's how it is.

The roads leading up and down the mountain were all blocked.

They seemed to be in dire straits! "Over here!"

Suddenly.

Someone was shouting at them.

Wa Li Duo took a closer look.

His expression immediately changed drastically—

But below a huge rock on the eastern side of the mountain path.

Someone was waving at them.

Beneath the boulder behind him lies a secret, silver-white door.

Outside the secret door.

Several rusty curved knives were stuck in the ground!

Damn it!

Wa Li Duo cursed.

"Who is that person? I think his name is Tata? How did he end up in the Blade Demon's Secret Passage..."

The sorceress withdrew her eyes.

He looked thoughtful.

"We have no choice but to go and hide there!"

Although they were extremely dissatisfied with Ji Qiu's act of running away without a word.

But in this emergency Wa Li Duo couldn't think of any other way to escape.

Entering the Blade Demon's territory would most likely result in their retaliation.

But it's better than being squeezed between the Regular Army and Super Giant Monsters, isn't it? No sooner said than done.

Before Wa Li Duo give the order.

Almost everyone rushed towards Ji Qiu's direction.

Two minutes later.

Roaring lava swept across the mountain path.

The group hid under the boulder.

The lava bypassed the Blade Barrier centered on the boulder.

Most people felt both nervous and excited.

That scene was indeed grand and exciting.

This is on a completely different level from the minor skirmishes of regular battles.

On the mountaintop.

One-tenth of the Tumor Dragon's enormous body had already protruded.

Through the thick black smoke.

The crowd saw countless tentacles bound together like twisted ropes.

A large, obese monster, resembling a sphere, attempted to emerge from the relatively closed Volcanic Crater.

This process is accompanied by...

The Volcanic Crater is breaking apart more and more violently.

More rocks rolled down.

The Southern Volcano was hit by severe rockfalls and lava flows! Fortunately, their hiding place was protected by the Blade Demon's barrier.

These places are usually the private domains of Blade Demon.

Unauthorized entry is a death sentence if discovered.

They will be marked as permanent enemies by the vengeful Blade Demon.

And they chased him to the ends of the earth...

After the billowing smoke and dust cleared.

About 20 minutes later.

Everyone saw that the Tumor Dragon was completely coiled up on the Volcanic Crater.

His neck, limbs, and wings are actually very magnificent and enormous.

But it looks very small compared to his torso.

Therefore, this thing looks like a round, fleshy ball.

And on his torso.

It has countless disgusting and useless organs.

These organs are all tumors.

For other organisms...

These tumors are a burden, or even a scourge.

But Tumor Dragon is different.

The more tumors a person has, the stronger they are!

The tumors in their bodies didn't do much good either.

However, it can store a large amount of Aberrant Matter.

These Aberrant Matter accumulate and irritate their bodies over time.

As a result, they became magical.

Moreover, this is because the Aberrant Matter is concentrated in a few places.

Their minds and souls will not be greatly affected.

It is one of the few monsters with high intelligence.

All of this information was heard by Ji Qiu from Wa Li Duo.

As the Vice President of the Sulfur Merchant Guild, this guy has naturally traveled all over the country and seen a lot.

He was very familiar with many of the stories and anecdotes in the abyss.

After all, it was Ji Qiu who discovered this place.

Therefore, after that.

Wa Li Duo still expressed his gratitude to Ji Qiu.

The two stood together and chatted for a while.

Ji Qiu was particularly curious about the strength of the Tumor Dragon.

So I asked a few more questions.

After obtaining information about the Tumor Dragon from Wa Li Duo.

He silently compared his own strength.

I gradually felt relieved.

He is not immortal yet.

However, he was confident that he could contend with the Immortal-grade Tumor Dragon with his own strength.

Of course.

There are too many people and too many opinions right now.

There's no need for me to rush in and act like a hero.

Ji Qiu's idea was very simple—

Complete the guard duties honestly.

This is his duty;

He had no interest in anything outside of his guard duties!

If this were a private matter, he would have challenged the Tumor Dragon first as part of his Abyss Trial. Unfortunately, there were just too many people...

Not only are many skilled guards within the Chamber of Commerce eyeing them covetously.

The demons in white armor below the mountain were the real reason Ji Qiu was so wary! He used his Judgment Art to assess the strength of both sides.

It has been confirmed that the Seraphim Armament is even stronger than the Tumor Dragon!

This made him even more interested in these White Armor Warriors.

"Those people in armor... what is their background?"

Ji Qiu asked Wa Li Duo.

"Those are Seraphim Armament from the Magic Energy Angel race. They're not wearing ordinary armor, but a type of Abyssal Armament —you should know about Abyssal Armament, right? It's a super construct technology comparable to Celestial God Armor and Purgatory Armor. Through this construct technology, the strength of an individual can be greatly enhanced. What's even more terrifying is that once these individuals undergo special training and are combined together, they will produce a very powerful chemical reaction..."

Wa Li Duo spoke eloquently:

"The individual strength of these Seraphim Armament below is between the extraordinary and the ascended, but none of them exceed level 140. Yet they can make so many experts here tremble with fear, and they even dare to directly challenge the Tumor Dragon Lord, who is at the Immortal realm. This is the powerful strength that the Seraphim Armament have given them!"

"It can be said that the Seraphim Armament is one of the two major reasons why the Demon Flame Angel has been able to thrive for so long..."

Speaking of which...

A hint of envy flashed in Wa Li Duo's eyes. "How wonderful it would be if I could obtain a set of Seraphim Armament and disassemble it for research..."

Ji Qiu saw a deep longing in his eyes.

However, he wasn't very interested in the Seraphim Armament.

What caught his attention was the origin of the weaponry used in this incident...

"You just said that the people down the mountain are from the Magic Energy Angel race? And that dragon on the volcano is a member of the Demon Dragon Race?!"

Ji Qiu asked in surprise.

"That's right! Just as you thought, we've unfortunately run into a war!"

"However, this war didn't start as soon as we arrived; it lasted for a very long time—clearly, this Seraphim Armament had fought the Tumor Dragon several times. The Tumor Dragon was probably at a disadvantage, which is why it had to hide underground, but it was quickly forced out of the ground by the Seraphim..."

"Look, the Tumor Dragon has many pitted and uneven marks on its body; those are fallen tumors! It's a sign that its strength has been greatly weakened... Let's just pray that these warmongers aren't interested in us..."

"Wa Li Duo said helplessly."

Ji Qiu nodded.

But they still didn't want to end the conversation there:

"The impact of war is truly terrifying! When I heard about the war between these two races in Xia Qirui Castle, I didn't think much of it, but I never expected to witness it firsthand..."

"Certainly..."

Wa Li Duo also seemed to be in the mood for conversation:

"The war between the Demon Dragon Race and the Magic Energy Angel will determine the alignment and inclination of the Outer Abyss in the coming period of time, because it is essentially a contest between the High-Level Lord Little Yura and the Demon Flame Angel Qi Na... Moreover, this is not an ordinary duel, but a contest about who is the true darling of the Abyss Will!"

Ji Qiu immediately showed an expression of eagerness to hear more.

Several people also secretly approached to eavesdrop on Wa Li Duo's words.

This time.

Wa Li Duo was somewhat displeased. "When it comes to fighting, you guys run away faster than anyone else! You're not even as good as the devil next door when it comes to the spirit of contract! Now that you want to hear some news, you all flock over..."

The people next to him immediately smiled and each of them tactfully offered a few explanations.

Wa Li Duo snorted.

He continued, still quite magnanimously:...

"I don't know the specifics! I've only heard some rumors."

After all, everyone knows the legend of Fallen Angel—

Qi Na defected from the Heavenly Realm back then.

Then they received the protection of the Abyss Will.

The Abyss even started a war with the Celestial Realm over this.

A secret war that lasted for over a century!

That was also the first time the Abyss and the Celestial Realm had a direct conflict since the Rift of the Heavens War.

It's clear how much favor Qi Na received from the Abyss Will!

Little Yura too! After the Blue Blood King died.

He inherited the most Abyss Blood! This time, Little Yura is making a big show of leading his army to attack the Prime Material Plane.

This directly violated Qi Na's principles.

Moreover, he needs to travel through the Outer Abyss, which will inevitably take him through many of Qi Na's territories.

When the interests of the two sides clash, a major battle is bound to occur.

The Demon Dragon Race and the Magic Energy Angel are just one of the sub-battlefields.

It's said that the fighting in the inner abyss and outer ring area was already even more intense than here..."

Everyone listened with rapt attention.

Someone asked, "Is Little Yura going to attack the Prime Material Plane again? Didn't he fail in his last invasion of Qeonan? I think he was beaten to death himself."

This time, there's no need for Wa Li Duo.

The sorceress spoke:

"Little Yura has been resurrected!"

How could an existence favored by the Abyss Will die so easily?

I heard that he not only came back to life.

They also found another path to the Prime Material Plane under the protection of the Abyss Will.

He also found a new planetary springboard.

It is said to be related to Telodal ...

Ji Qiu was still listening.

Suddenly.

A disdainful sneer reached his ears.

"Sect Master?"

Ji Qiu felt a surge of joy.
