Chapter 345: The Outsider

"Boom!"

The terrifying T-Rex, as soon as it appeared, caused an earthquake.

Its form resembled the Tyrannosaurus in Li En's memory, yet it possessed even more massive colorful feathers; there was not the slightest fluctuation of mana around it, but merely its size and physical strength made it a true killing weapon.

It sniffed the air, smelled the scent of outsiders, and then saw a group of tin cans being chased by a giant spider.

"Awooo (Meat!)"

Instantly, drool fell in large quantities, and the ten-plus-meter-tall Tyrannosaurus lunged directly forward.

Although it might not be able to hunt the Spider Queen, seizing a few prey was no pressure at all.

"Boom!"

But at this moment, more hunters, unable to endure the theft of their prey, jumped out.

Those who flew in the sky, burrowed underground, and ran on the ground—those hunters had been waiting for a long time.

Among them were a family of Velociraptors, a family of giant rats and rat-men, and a family of black dragons; naturally, no weak creatures could survive in this "Light Zone."

"Run!"

"Damn, they can't be killed off completely."

It was tragic; the knights of the Sindak Empire, who had just been so majestic, now only cursed their legs being too short and their armor too heavy.

This hunt would end soon, and the result was already laid before the decision-makers.

"A total of six people, three ultimately escaped; all were above the rank of Great Knight, with excellent equipment. I saw one person withstand a black dragon's breath attack with their armor alone. Among them, the Arcane Knights used scrolls without a moment's hesitation."

Dai Niya's tone held envy; these fellows' equipment was several tiers better than the Radiant Guard's.

The standard of the "Elite Standard" equipment meant for the strong actually tested a nation's alchemy, forging, and military-industrial capabilities the most.

These golden-armored men were highly likely the private guards of that Young Master; although they were the Duke's personal soldiers, they could not obtain the nation's top-tier equipment. But the Radiant Guard represented the absolute peak of the kingdom's top tier, which indirectly reflected that the gap in military-industrial capabilities between the two sides was incomparable.

"... But they still failed; that Heroine left immediately."

The leading son of the Duke did not participate in the subsequent exploration; after breaking the wall and striking a pose for propaganda, he naturally turned around and went back.

This was actually what made Dai Niya most envious: for such high-danger exploration work, these Great Warriors were willing to work honestly, even willing to sacrifice themselves.

"Can they detect your surveillance?"

"It shouldn't be possible; my little Mirror Demon has been following them in the Shadow Plane."

The other side thought that killing that little Mirror Demon would prevent anyone from seeing their true situation. But in reality, things like little Mirror Demons were not very valuable mass-produced goods; there were originally extra little Mirror Demons following them.

However, to reassure the various participating factions, Dai Niya naturally would not publicize these scenes.

Standing from the kingdom's perspective, as long as it accelerated the progress of exploration and sealing the beasts, if they wanted to create gods or create heroes, let them do so.

However, the frontline intelligence they exchanged for their lives would naturally only be shared with those they trusted.

"To continue exploring, we must at least eliminate those powerful monsters. Every single one is hard to deal with."

The closed underground area easily becomes a pot for raising centipedes; to continue exploring, this T-Rex, the giant spider, and the rat-man tribe must all be cleared out.

"It's a pity; there is only a black dragon, no Sapphire Dragon or Corrupted Purple Dragon."

It seemed the black dragon cub seen earlier was not an exception; the screen showed a family of three black dragons—one large and two small—and considering their habits, encountering four or five would not be strange.

"Most likely two juvenile dragons, the rest are cubs." Li En estimated, with a high probability, there was also a mother dragon guarding the nest or even incubating eggs.

"Can we go around them?"

"It's difficult. If we want to advance steadily, we cannot abandon this Light Zone."

"Uh, you plan to build a fortress city here." Li En heard the implication.

"Yes, the Mirror Woman intends to; she has taken a liking to that giant spider, wants to tame the spider swarm there, and is even willing to build a Dark Elf forward base there to herd the spiders."

Facing Li En's inquiry, Dai Niya directly leaked the secrets of the gods.
