Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 88 - 71: The Evil God Believers’ Gold Mine? Now It’s My Gold Mine
’What’s this?’
’Dogman Sorcerers?’
’And Dogman Shamans who know Healing Technique?’
Qin Feng couldn’t help but let out a low laugh.
"Heh!"
"I knew it. Keeping the Hunting Short Bow in my second weapon slot instead of swapping it for another one-handed weapon..."
"...was definitely the right call!"
As he finished speaking, with a thought, the chipped Lord’s Longsword in his hand transformed into the Hunting Short Bow. He drew the bowstring back to his ear, aiming at the Dogman Sorcerer on the stone platform who was drawing a spell.
In an instant, the loosed arrow shot out like a meteor tearing through the night sky, burning a white-hot trail through the air before precisely embedding itself in its target’s forehead.
[You have killed a "Dogman Sorcerer." Influenced by the "Bloodthirsty" Talent, your Life Value has been permanently increased by one. You have obtained 1 Dinar.]
Before the crimson glow of the notification faded, Qin Feng had already drawn his bow three more times. Three feathered arrows pierced the darkness of the mine, taking out several Dogman Shamans on the high platform with consecutive headshots.
As the last Dogman Shaman collapsed, clutching the arrow hole that had pierced the back of its skull, Qin Feng flicked his wrist. The bow switched back to the Lord’s Longsword, its blade tracing a bloody arc in the torchlight.
"Now, it’s your turn!"
Qin Feng held his sword in his right hand and his shield in his left, his figure like a tiger pouncing into a flock of sheep. Every swing of the chipped longsword was accompanied by the sound of cracking bones.
The still-roaring Kobolds didn’t even have time to react before this human—a veritable "Verdun meat grinder"—sent flesh and blood flying. Fragments of Bone Armor mixed with grit, carpeting the ground in a dark red layer.
In the end, with Qin Feng’s terrifying combat prowess—like that of a one-man army—the tide of Kobolds charging head-on was smashed as if by a great hammer, collapsing in swathes into pools of blood.
The few surviving Kobolds shrieked and scrambled into the depths of the mine tunnels. The jagged crevices in the rock swallowed their panicked figures, leaving behind only a mess of scattered Bone Armor and scimitars.
Meanwhile, Diablo and the others following him had only managed to kill about a dozen Zero-star stragglers that slipped past.
It was hard to say whether it was because the Kobolds only had eyes for the tender, delicious "two-legged sheep," or if they simply lacked any tactical sense for flanking maneuvers. From start to finish, they never once considered sending anyone around for a surprise rear attack.
Qin Feng couldn’t be bothered to figure out the reason, nor did he want to chase after the remaining Kobolds who had turned into cowardly lizards and fled.
He kicked aside the broken bones blocking his path and continued deeper along the main tunnel of the underground mine.
’Anyway, as long as I can take out this King Rado the Kobolds keep talking about, these Kobolds are finished.’
After a long trek of over thirty minutes, the group seemed to have passed through the complex, maze-like tunnels that served as the mine’s defensive line and arrived at the Kobolds’ underground settlement.
Giant, shadowy mushrooms spread out like canopies. A verdant, phosphorescent light flowed across the cavern ceiling, causing the honeycomb-like stone houses built of shale to flicker in and out of view.
The stone houses were scattered among the mushroom forest, their layered arrangement forming the continuous outline of a settlement. Mineral water seeping from cracks in the rock walls pooled on the ground into faintly shimmering puddles.
What made one’s pupils shrink, however, were the various spiderweb-like ore veins embedded in the exposed rock walls next to these stone houses, all gleaming with a soft luster under the mushroom’s phosphorescence.
Blue-black Iron Ore Veins spread like blood vessels, inky Black Crystal Ore was embedded with starlike flecks of light, and even gold-threaded veins snaked through it all, shimmering with a halo like liquid gold in the mushroom light...
’Hmm?’
’A gold mine?’
’Are my eyes playing tricks on me?’
’Something feels off, let me look again... Holy shit! It really is a gold mine! There’s actually a gold mine here!?’
[Notification: You have discovered a gold mine. You can dispatch miners here to begin mining!]
[Influenced by a mysterious power, you can now directly convert all gold mined from the gold mine into an equal amount of Dinar currency!]
*Hiss!*
’Awesome!’
’Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior!’
’Ah, no, it should be Long Zhongyi. He’s the one who really hit the jackpot for me today!’
’If he hadn’t asked me for help with the "territory can’t be mined" problem, I might never have discovered this deeply hidden underground gold mine!’
’And without this gold mine!’
’My development would have stayed stuck for a long time due to the severe lack of Gold Coins!’
’I wouldn’t have been able to fully upgrade all the Zoo Veterans!’
’And I wouldn’t have been able to recruit all the new Ratman soldiers my territory’s villages provide each week!’
’After all, the Evil Curse Gold Mine, located deep in the Northern Forest, is extremely far from the Ratmen’s territory...’
’Plus, with CS players like Gale who could lead a counterattack at any moment...’
’I have to be on guard at all times...’
’At this stage...’
’It’s simply impossible to go there directly...’
"Lord!"
"You have to come see these Spells!"
"It seems there’s a serious problem within the Kobold ranks!"
Suddenly, Diablo’s urgent shout pierced the silence, interrupting Qin Feng’s excited thoughts.
He followed the sound with his gaze.
He saw Diablo pointing at a string of blood-red Spells on the rock wall.
The twisted, snake-like symbols circled a central Hexagram Array. Undried, dark purple beads of blood seeped from the gaps in the runes, gleaming with an eerie metallic luster in the phosphorescent mushroom light.
"What is this?"
A trace of terror appeared in Diablo’s eyes.
"An Evil Curse!"
"The same kind of Evil Curse that mutated the Treant Warriors into Twisted Tree Spirits!"
"I thought they were only on the fringes of the Elf Kingdom’s territory. I never expected them to have infiltrated all the way here so quietly!"
Qin Feng stared thoughtfully at the blood curse on the wall.
"An Evil Curse, you say?"
[Void Rune: Inscribe the complete Void Rune to form a Void Array, then offer a sufficient number of powerful living sacrifices to guide and communicate with an Evil God from the Void, who will cast down a fleeting glimpse and bestow upon the summoner the status of "Evil God Believer" and "Evil God, Chosen One." ...However, if the summoner does not meet the Evil God’s requirements, they will go completely mad, lose their sanity, and become a Void Creature that knows only the pursuit of slaughter and blood.]
’No wonder!’
’These Kobolds can’t be captured by my Riding and Cutting Talent!’
’They’re all devout Evil God Fanatics. Their minds are filled with nothing but that omnipotent, great deity. Of course they would never submit to an ordinary human Lord like me!’
’But the fall of the Elf Kingdom, and the corruption of the Kobolds... to think all of this is actually connected to the Void Creatures from the Lost Secret Realm?’
’I thought all that instance setting was just background lore for the instance!’
"Kill!"
"Charge!"
"Get these invaders!"
As his thoughts churned, a wave of roars suddenly erupted from the depths of the mine. It was clear the routed Kobold survivors had fled back to their main territory and were now leading a massive swarm of Kobold reinforcements for a counterattack.
Qin Feng looked toward the sound and saw that the information panels above their heads were suddenly twisting and changing under the influence of a blood-red energy.
[Enemy Name: Evil God Believer . Kobold (Red Name)]
[Worshipped Evil God: God of Gluttony . Beelzebub]
[Blessing of the Evil God (Gluttony): Devour flesh and blood to permanently absorb a trace of its power.]
[Description: Kobolds living in the underground mines of the Northern Forest. They possess extremely powerful night vision, but are like blind men in a Strong Light Environment, unable to see anything more than a few meters away... Having become Evil God Believers, they have received a blessing from an evil deity of the Void. They now possess more powerful bodies than before and can continuously enhance their combat abilities by devouring the flesh and blood of other creatures.]
"Good!"
"You like eating people!"
"You deserve to die!"
"Evil God Believers who like to eat people!"
"You deserve to die even more!"
"I’ll be happy to take that gold mine in your territory off your hands!"
"Remember to be a good Kobold in your next life!"
As he spoke, the Hunting Short Bow had already materialized between his fingers. With a tremor of the bowstring, a continuous stream of feathered arrows shot forth.
The group of Kobolds charging at the very front had blood bursting from their foreheads before they could even see the arrows’ trajectory.
Then, as the group of Kobolds lunged closer, Qin Feng flicked his wrist, summoning the High-Quality Lord’s Longsword. The chipped blade then drew a cold arc, easily lopping off the heads of several Kobolds.
"Ugh!"
"I was wondering why it was so easy to kill with my already-chipped Lord’s Longsword!"
"So it wasn’t because my physical attack power is high... it’s because that skill from the Sigmar Combat Priest took effect?"
[You hit an enemy with a one-handed weapon, triggering the "Holy Purification" effect. You deal an additional 20% melee Holy Damage. As the target is an Evil Faction creature, the Holy Damage effect is increased to a 5x suppression state!]
