Dungeon Heart

This is a chicken farm that shimmers with magical light. Inside the chicken coop, adult chickens are flapping their wings, but they can't seem to escape the thin magical barrier.

Name: Chicken Farm Level: Level 1 Building (Upgradeable)

Location: Gray Rock Dungeon; Range: 4 square meters; Effect: Chicken growth rate +500%, chicken production 1 per minute; Adult chickens: 3/5

Description: A magical building, a ruthless meat-producing machine. With a casual grab, a plump adult chicken has its neck snapped. It opens its mouth full of sharp yellow teeth and viciously Bite at the chicken meat.

After swallowing it in just a dozen or so bites, the entire chicken, skin and bones, was gone. The goblin's belly swelled slightly, and it let out a satisfied burp.

The next moment, it seemed to be summoned by some invisible force, and immediately picked up its weapon and turned to rush to the battlefield.

Right there in the chicken farm, inside the chicken coop built of magical wood, a giant egg, comparable to an ostrich egg, quietly rolled out. After shaking it twice, the shell cracked open, and a fully grown chicken flapped its wings and emerged, celebrating its birth.

"This building..." Lin Xu was tempted. With a chicken farm like this, who would still farm? They could just eat chicken!

He finally realized why there were no farms or other food production sites among the resource points the underground city occupied on the surface—because the Gray Rock Dungeon didn't need any food supplies from the outside world!

"Compared to the treasure chests and gold coins in the vault, these magical structures are the true treasure of this dungeon!"

Lin Xu was thrilled. If he could obtain the complete architectural blueprints of the underground city, the development speed of his territory would far exceed that of ordinary times.

A cool sensation washed over him, calming his turbulent emotions. As he regained his composure, a new thought arose, "Could we conquer this underground city?"

If I can conquer this underground city, all its treasures, along with these powerful magical structures, will be mine!

But he quickly realized the absurdity of the idea. After gaining Mountain Lord Authority of Azure Cloud Mountain, Lin Xu's understanding of Lord Authority far surpassed that of ordinary adventurers.

The Lord Authority of the Spirit Realm is the manifestation of the rules of a region. Only when a suitable person appears can the authority be separated from the entire region and condensed.

Before the authority is fully formed, it is possible to seize it by force, but once the authority has been formed, the difficulty of seizing it by force is comparable to shaking the heavens.

Even so, Lin Xu still controlled the ghost to stealthily approach the source of the magic circuit. No matter what, he had to go and see the heart of the city.

Deep within the dark corridor, magical circuits pulsed and glowed like blood vessels, converging into a mighty torrent at a certain point.

The Earth Vein, drawn by an invisible force, surged from all directions and eventually converged in a deep, vast underground space.

Deep underground, magma surged, the molten lava boiling like water, light and heat filling the entire space and dispelling the darkness of the earth.

Above the fiery lava cave, a floating platform forged from obsidian holds a pulsating, fiery red crystal core.

The surface of the crystal nucleus is riddled with cracks, and each pulsation causes the magma to surge and the circuits to flicker. The powerful magic that solidifies into a tangible force vibrates like the tides, driving the underground magma to surge.

This is the heart of the underground city, the core of the entire city, and the energy center of this underground world covering tens of square kilometers.

The towering giant city lord stood silently beneath the crystal core, the scorching energy flowing over his bronze skin, nourishing his extraordinary bloodline and body little by little.

The traces of the previous battle have disappeared, and the city lord is now using the Dungeon Heart to monitor the fierce fighting within the city.

The only sound in the cave was the roar of lava tides, but in the city lord's view, the battle with the people on the ground had been going on for several days, and the situation was deadlocked and brutal.

The monsters in the city were summoned time and time again, futilely rushing towards the invaders, but whether they were weak skeletons or powerful Half-Giant warriors, they were all like moths to a flame.

It had to send its recovered warriors to the front lines time and time again, only to be defeated and forced to retreat again and again, to the point that it overlooked the ghostly creature that had appeared in a corner of the city, and even more so the shadowy figure that had quietly emerged at the edge of this core cave.

"This is the heart of this city!" Using the Red-Robed Ghost's ability to hide, Lin Xu quietly observed this mysterious cave.

In what appears to be an untouched, pristine cave, countless tiny runes, barely visible to the naked eye, are densely packed together. These runes flicker and glow with the pulsation of lava, forming a hidden monitoring network that covers the entire cave.

A layer of energy barrier, far more robust than that of the treasure room, silently enveloped the entire cave, protecting it from all angles.

Lin Xu spent a great deal of time using the fluctuations of the magma tides to break through the energy barrier and glimpse the deepest secrets of the city.

His gaze was unconsciously drawn to the beating heart in the center of the cave, so much so that he ignored the giant lord standing to the side.

It was like a miniature artificial sun. He even suspected that detonating the immense energy it contained could directly vaporize the entire underground city—a terrifying existence comparable to a high-yield nuclear bomb!

"This thing... is the Lord Authority!" Lin Xu's heart skipped a beat. Out of some kind of instinct, he almost immediately realized the true nature of this crystal core.

It is not merely an energy source, but rather a manifestation of the contract between the lord and the entire dungeon, serving as the core embodiment of the lord's power and authority.

The cool aura emanating from the Ice Heart Jade Pendant dispelled the restlessness in his heart. He calmly analyzed, "Seizing the dungeon is wishful thinking, but obtaining the inheritance is not without hope..."

Lin Xu's gaze, guided by the ghost's senses, landed on the Dungeon Heart, where energy surged.

This is the heart of the entire city and the central hub of the magic matrix that covers the entire territory. All the veins of the magic arrays emanate, converge, and resonate from here, and countless pieces of information converge here.

If one could access this Dungeon Heart and reverse-engineer its information, perhaps one could obtain the complete set of territory inheritances.

"Too difficult..." He frowned slightly. This was the energy and control center of the entire underground city, equivalent to the brain and heart of a human being. Any move that got too close would trigger the most stringent defenses and countermeasures.

Even if the dungeon lord isn't here, the moment he touches the Dungeon Heart, it will immediately alert the other party.

If the entire city retaliates, even he will have no chance of escaping unscathed.

"Unless, the Giant City Lord is killed!" Lin Xu realized that he had no choice but to participate in this war.

It is almost impossible to completely kill a Spirit Realm Lord. The moment the authority is condensed, the lord is deeply bound to the entire territory. Even if the soul perishes, the authority will automatically return to the Earth Vein and reshape the lord's body.
