Chapter 568: Unlucky Li Yue, Black to the Point of Suffocation

Back at Lord Chenxi's territory, Li Yue routinely consumed 300 purple thorn flowers to celebrate this great victory.

He then immediately listed another 10 on the trading platform.

A day later, the 10 thorn flowers listed yesterday had already sold out.

As time passed, it was clear that everyone's purchasing power had improved further.

The ten thorn flowers that originally took three or four days to sell were now gone in a single day.

Thinking of this, Li Yue calmly picked another ten thorn flowers and listed them.

Emerging from the Time Scroll, his energy had refreshed as well.

Seeing the energy on his status panel reach the millions again, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Now, the energy he could earn in a single day was probably enough for other lords to earn in half a year or even a year.

After finishing breakfast and preparing for his daily patrol of the territory, while also looking for two beautiful elves to do morning exercises with, he ran into Zhu Li Ya.

Before Zhu Li Ya could even speak, Li Yue began to act.

After a bout of heaving and sighing, Li Yue looked at Zhu Li Ya with satisfaction and asked:

"What's wrong? Did something happen in the Underworld?"

Zhu Li Ya lowered her head, her face flushed, and spoke softly:

"My lord, we just captured a city that houses a Shi Shi-limit creature."

Hearing this, Li Yue's face lit up with joy.

An Underworld city housing a Shi Shi-limit creature meant it was a Level 2 Underworld.

That meant two Diamond Chests and two Shi Shi Chests.

Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it made him happy.

"And then?" Li Yue asked.

"Then we discovered there was another entrance beneath that city."

"Moreover, the aura emanating from within was quite powerful, so Queen Angel instructed me to rush back and ask for your opinion."

Hearing what Zhu Li Ya said, Li Yue was startled.

He knew that Angel was now a creature at the Legend-limit level.

Her strength was not inferior to Carol's.

And the power Carol had displayed was enough to slay even Demon Gods; although it might have been a defective one, it was still a god.

An existence that made Angel feel powerful must be at least at the Sanctuary Realm level.

However, thinking of the rewards obtained after slaying the Demon God, he now directly possessed a combat force at the Sanctuary Realm level.

Although some time had passed, it was ultimately a combat force belonging to his territory.

Under the full-speed flight of the Dark Demon Dragon Long Mili En, it took only half an hour.

Li Yue arrived at the Underworld with the Female Guard Regiment.

The first thing Li Yue did upon arriving was not to look at that cave entrance filled with infinite unknowns, but to open the chests from the captured city.

If the thing Li Yue enjoyed most was sparring with beautiful subordinates, then opening chests ranked second on his list of joys.

【You have captured the Underworld 'Demon Scorpion City'. Please choose to occupy or destroy?】

【Choose to occupy: The Underworld 'Demon Scorpion City' will become your territory (you can summon Bronze-level Demon Scorpions, build one Demon Scorpion Swamp within the city, with a 70% chance to attract one Shi Shi-level Demon Scorpion to reside, or a 30% chance to attract two Shi Shi-level Demon Scorpions to reside)】

【Choose to destroy: The Underworld 'Demon Scorpion City' will turn into two Shi Shi Chests, from which you can obtain energy, building blueprints, equipment, etc.】

There was no question about it; Li Yue immediately chose to destroy.

"Destroy."

【Choice: Destroy. Since you possess the Lord Quest 'Sweep the Underworld', you will receive two additional Diamond Chests.】

As the system prompt flashed out, the blood-and-poison-filled Demon Scorpion City slowly vanished, transforming into three-colored radiance.

A three-colored chest thus coalesced.

Beside it were two chests with only two colors.

Li Yue rubbed his hands together and pried open the first two-colored chest.

Two beams of light flashed—

【Congratulations, you have obtained Energy * 100,000, Altar Upgrade Stones * 10, Basic Time Scrolls * 5, Basic Teleport Scrolls * 5, Diamonds * 3, Shielding Stones * 1, Energy Genie Lamps * 1.】

The first one contained all the major items a Diamond Chest should have, but nothing else.

Li Yue rubbed his hands together again and continued to pry open the second two-colored chest.

Two beams of light flashed—

【Congratulations, you have obtained Energy * 100,000, Altar Upgrade Stones * 10, Basic Time Scrolls * 5, Basic Teleport Scrolls * 5, Diamonds * 3, Shielding Stones * 1, Energy Genie Lamps * 1.】

Looking at the familiar interface, Li Yue's face turned a bit black.

Could it be that he had received too much good news today?

Li Yue found it hard to believe and slowly walked toward the three-colored chest placed right in the center.

As he walked, he muttered silently in his heart:

"Good luck comes, wishing me good luck comes."

Only after silently chanting this Euler Song to the end did he reach out and slowly open the chest.

Three-colored radiance flashed—

【Congratulations, you have obtained Energy * 1,000,000, Altar Upgrade Stones * 100, Intermediate Time Scrolls * 5, Intermediate Teleport Scrolls * 5, Shielding Stones * 5, Energy Genie Lamps * 20, Dream Stones * 1, Artifact Fragments * 1, Diamond Upgrade Scrolls * 20, Shi Shi Upgrade Scrolls * 2, Legend Upgrade Scroll Fragments * 5.】

"What the f***!"

"This Underworld is poisonous! Even the Shi Shi Chests only yielded these things!"

"Sigh, this f***ing thing has everything it should have, and nothing it shouldn't; it's absolutely incredible."

"Could it be that opening a Soul of Magic today used up all my luck?"

With this thought, Li Yue realized he had eaten three hundred purple thorn flowers today.

He had only gained six talent points, which was completely average.

Thinking this, Li Yue had already attributed his terrible luck today entirely to the Soul of Magic.

And Li Yue's iron-green face terrified the women of the Female Guard Corps.

Li Yue waved his hand and said to the several women:

"Let me recover first."

This made the women even more puzzled; only Zhu Li Ya thought to herself.

"Could it be that I used too much force during morning exercise?"

If Li Yue knew this thought of hers, he would probably spit blood immediately.

Just like that, the women waited silently for Li Yue to slowly figure it out.

For a full half hour, Li Yue finally slowly came to his senses.

From the very beginning when he came to this world, every time he opened various treasure chests, even if he wasn't the luckiest, his luck was never too bad.

But opening these three treasure chests today indeed made him extremely unlucky.

He silently vowed in his heart that he must quickly conquer several more cities to make up for himself.

However, for now, he still had to first see what it was that Angel had discovered.

Before his eyes—

The previously massive dungeon had already vanished; however, to the north of the original Demon Scorpion City, there was actually a hole dozens of meters wide.

The powerful aura inside almost made Li Yue suffocate; if not for Ka Ka Luoer noticing it in time beside him, he would have surely suffered some hardship.

He only realized now that having a low level was still not good; next time, if the powerful ones beside him were all sent away.

Wouldn't the opponent be able to kill him just by using their aura?

Thinking this, Li Yue couldn't help but shiver with cold.

Only after that terrifying aura was blocked off by Ka Ka Luoer did Li Yue see the true appearance of this hole.
