Here, Qian Duoduo received a gift from Jiang Ziliu.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ziliu was on his way home.
But he was unaware that a major event was taking place in an area on the edge of a Scallion Ridge.
There is a C Grade Dungeon Space here.
However, this beast-type Dungeon Space is not controlled by a single human base, but by the local aristocratic family Nangong Family.
Because this is a Dungeon Space in the wilderness, the Nangong Family established their headquarters here and made huge profits from this Dungeon Space.
They are also one of the most influential families in the entire Scallion Ridge region.
But today, the entire Nangong Clan is facing an unprecedented crisis.
The castle built by his Lineage was surrounded by a large number of various mythical beasts.
Giant wolves, tigers, lions, and other Silver Rank land-dwelling beasts roam the land, while giant eagles and bats soar through the sky like hunters. Furthermore, numerous earth-attribute beasts guard the underground, forming a three-pronged encirclement of the land, underground, and sky.
Furthermore, there are three types of skilled investigators—one possessing scent, the other life force, and the third soul power—distributed in all directions to prevent the Nangong Family from escaping.
Why did the Nangong Family receive such extensive treatment?
The reason lies in the fact that several years ago, the Dwarf King attacked the Scallion Ridge area, resulting in the destruction of a Human Race base.
This attracted the attention of the Human Race's strongest warrior Lightning Spear Supreme, who severely injured the Dwarf King after a battle with him.
Even the Dwarf King's weapon, that terrifying warhammer capable of destroying a city, was broken and fell into the Scallion Ridge.
Lightning Spear Supreme didn't care for such a broken weapon.
However, in the eyes of Silver, gold, and even Diamond Rank experts, this broken warhammer was an unparalleled treasure.
Later, a war broke out between Human Race forces in the Scallion Ridge area.
However, during this process, the forces of the Troll Clan, Elf Clan, and finally the dwarves suddenly got involved.
In particular, the Troll Clan secretly created a new S Grade Dungeon Space in a hidden cave beneath Scallion Ridge.
This allows them to project very powerful forces.
A war broke out between multiple races over the Dwarf King's Hammer, and in the chaos, the Dwarf Race fought the hardest.
Because this is the symbol of their Dwarf Race, their dignity.
The dwarves fought so fiercely that whoever possessed the Dwarf King's Hammer would fight them to the death.
As a result, this treasure changed hands several times, and finally disappeared abruptly in a massive impact.
None of the parties involved in the war knew in whose hands the Dwarf King's Hammer had fallen.
Human Race, Troll, dwarves, and elves were suspicious of each other, each believing that the other had taken the Dwarf King's Hammer.
Everyone assumed the treasure was in the other party's hands.
Later, all the participating forces devoted themselves to finding this Dwarf King's Hammer!
The matter gradually subsided, and no one found out who had secretly taken it away right under everyone's noses.
But not long ago, a secret message was sold for a high price by an intelligence organization.
The Dwarf King's Hammer was actually in the hands of the unassuming Nangong Noble Family.
The Nangong Noble Family is just a small clan, with only one Gold Rank Beast Tamer Ancestor who is nearing the end of his life.
During the great war, a highly hidden Silver Rank elder of the Nangong Tribe possessed a unique feedback skill.
The Light of the Origin Point!
The Light of the Origin Point a special type of skill that can temporarily transform anything into a tiny point, no bigger than a speck of dust, before it reverts to its original state.
It was this elder who transformed the Dwarf King's Hammer into something the size of a dot, successfully taking it away right under everyone's noses.
No one expected that in a battle between such powerful Gold Rank experts, a Silver Rank expert would secretly succeed.
The Nangong Clan maintains a very tight security regarding information.
There was absolutely no way outsiders would know that they had obtained the Dwarf King's Hammer.
However, this elder recently had an accident during a real-world adventure with his grandson.
His own grandson was in mortal danger in front of him, and in that critical moment he used this Origin Skill to save his grandson.
He wiped out everyone at the scene, but he didn't expect that a small reconnaissance Zerg from an intelligence organization would witness this and evade the old elder's search.
This intelligence organization also had some clever people. By analyzing the list of people who appeared in that great battle, and combining it with the elder's mysterious skills, they guessed that this was the person who took away the Dwarf King's Hammer at that time.
Intelligence organizations are willing to sell any intelligence if they see profit in it.
Some of them had tried to blackmail the Nangong Clan in the past, but their leader did not agree, because in that situation, the Nangong Clan would more likely have done everything in their power to wipe them out.
So they simply sold the information to various powerful forces, reaping huge profits in return, and then everyone fled far away from this area.
All of this has led to the current situation where everyone is besieging the Nangong Noble Family.
"We are willing to hand over the Dwarf King's Hammer, please spare us!"
The inherent nature of aristocratic families led the Nangong Clan to compromise, but these powerful forces did not want to let them go because the Nangong Clan had been researching the Dwarf King's Hammer for too long. Even if they did not control this weapon, they were still a huge threat.
Regardless of who ultimately obtains the Dwarf King's Hammer, none of them wish for the Nangong Noble Family to survive intact.
A war of annihilation broke out, flames descended like a sea, strong winds flattened castles, lightning flashed with destructive light, and swords and shadows claimed one life after another, utterly destroying the entire Nangong Noble Family.
At this critical moment, an elder of the Nangong Noble Family erupted, directly activating the Dwarf King's Hammer.
They never managed to control this treasure, but they still managed to figure out some things about it.
That is, as long as you contribute a large amount of high-grade Elemental Crystal, you can make it unleash a terrifying power, an indiscriminate burst.
The Nangong Clan originally had two Dungeon Space.
As a result, a small Dungeon Space was severely damaged in that attempt, and soon after, the entire Dungeon Space was completely destroyed.
This time, the elder contributed 50% of his clan's Elemental Crystal to the Dwarf King's Hammer, causing it to erupt.
Once the giant hammer gained power, it immediately went berserk, attacking every living thing around it with frenzied fury.
Although the Dwarf King's Hammer is damaged, each of its attacks is comparable to a full-force strike from a peak Gold Rank expert, enough to destroy an entire city in a single blow.
Countless forces involved in the encirclement and suppression also suffered heavy losses and fled for their lives in a sorry state!
The Dwarf King's Hammer is a special treasure that possesses its own Wisdom, but perhaps because it was damaged, it gained power and went berserk, attacking everything around it.
This is why the Nangong Clan has never been able to control it. If you don't give it energy, it will completely ignore you and won't even be able to repair itself.
Give it energy, and it'll even take you down.
After that battle, as if it had gone mad enough, the Dwarf King's Hammer suddenly stopped, seemingly sensing something.
It then ceased its attacks on all life around it, directly shattering the reality layer and disappearing from an unknown, seemingly illusory, mysterious world.
Many forces were willing but powerless, and could only watch as this treasure they had coveted for years vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ziliu, who was having a picnic in a valley, roasting meat from a strange beast, stared blankly at the broken little hammer that had suddenly appeared in his hand, looking quite surprised!
The small hammer suddenly fell into his hands, and like a robber, it slashed his hand and absorbed his blood.
It should be noted that his skin is extremely tough; even a typical top-quality Bronze Rank weapon might not be able to cut through it.
It appeared suddenly, even startling Jiang Ziliu!
But a few seconds later, Jiang Ziliu's eyes suddenly widened.
He recognized the mysterious, broken little hammer!
