Chapter 807 - 500: Inspecting the Mine, Harold the Fool
"It’s all over, now it’s time to retrieve what’s ours."
Zong Shen whispered softly, as Eagle’s massive form descended from the sky with a loud screech.
Carrying Wenresa and the others, they landed outside the small courtyard.
This territory has been completely destroyed, not even a single survivor was left.
Such small-scale territories were more or less like Zong Shen during his first and second days upon landing.
He shook his head as he stood still, originally planning to eliminate this guy and take away the usable buildings and population from the territory, but once he made a move, he couldn’t stop.
Fury filled his chest.
Although his rationality remained, he was unwilling to compromise for some petty benefits.
Zong Shen just wanted to have a good, thorough vent.
"Forget it, it’s not like these things are essential."
He curled his lip, retracted the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword, and walked towards the Territory Storage Box.
Now that Dempsey Morton is dead, the territory has become Unclaimed Lands, so Zong Shen can inherit the resources in the storage grid and storage box.
When he opened the storage box, he found the Burden-Bearer Mecha in the package of [Dempsey’s Belongings].
Additionally, he retrieved some mineral resources.
Apart from these, there were some other resources that Zong Shen collected.
This guy was indeed very poor, his equipment mostly of Whiteboard and Refined Level quality.
There were no particularly powerful items in the storage grid, only potions, food, and the like.
This only indicates one thing, that this guy rarely engaged in exploration.
The [Market] here had also been destroyed, Zong Shen originally intended to check out his market.
According to his estimation, Dempsey was likely to use the market for fencing goods.
When certain resources in the territory exceed a certain quantity, they need to be listed for sale in the [Market] to be converted into other types of resources to ensure resource balance.
Now the [Market] is gone, the loss needs to be considered.
"Please tell me the location of the Kobold driver."
He’s not planning to linger here any longer, as the previous battle has drawn the attention of the surrounding Lords.
Under the silent night sky, the sounds of hooves and wolf howls gradually approached.
Zong Shen also prepared for a quick battle, planning to leave once he found the Kobold driver.
The Strategy prompt soon emerged with a Golden Thread guide as per his request.
Following the Golden Thread Navigation, they quickly arrived at an open space behind the territory.
A large amount of straw bales were stacked here, and the Dogman Prophet responsible for driving was hidden in one of them.
Zong Shen quickly found him, grabbed the rope to lift him up, then jumped onto Eagle’s back, unwilling to encounter other Lords.
Revenge has been taken, the items retrieved, everything was back on track.
"Take off, Eagle!"
Once he sat firmly, he gave Eagle the command.
"Screech!"
Eagle flapped its wings, lifting its massive form and everyone into the air, swiftly leaving the area.
During the flight, Zong Shen altered the direction, guiding Eagle towards the mine entrance.
Minutes later, several surrounding Lords arrived simultaneously.
Cautiously observing, they confirmed the area had been thoroughly destroyed before departing.
Dempsey Morton’s territory wasn’t far from the mine, only about twenty kilometers away.
With Eagle’s speed, it took only a few minutes to reach the destination.
Zong Shen instructed Eagle to land on the open space outside the mine before dismounting.
Casually cutting the hemp rope binding the Dogman Prophet.
Once unbound, the guy started crying out chaotically.
The mine entrance was pitch black without lit torches, making it difficult to gauge the surroundings.
This left the Dogman Prophet in a baffled, bewildered state.
"It’s me!"
Only upon hearing Zong Shen’s voice did he calm down.
"Master... Master..."
"Is that you... Did you rescue me?"
The Dogman Prophet was considered a Wise Man among the Dogman Race.
While able to understand Continent Common Language, speaking it fluently was challenging.
"Yes."
"I’ll take you to see Dutra later."
Zong Shen explained offhandedly, not rushing into the mine, but approached Eagle instead.
During the previous battle, though Eagle’s hide was tough, it hadn’t suffered any major damage.
However, five or six arrows were lodged in it.
Mainly in the wings and frontal abdominal area.
These arrows were mere toothpicks to Eagle, unable to pose any disturbance.
Some arrows were expelled by its own muscles.
The rest were stubbornly lodged deep.
Zong Shen swiftly removed all these arrows before leading his men into the mine.
One must admit, Dutra handled things very well.
The front section of the mine tunnel showed no obvious traces, surrounding darkness resembling an abandoned mine.
Upon reaching the original forked hall, four Two-headed Hellhounds were lazily dozing, able to accurately distinguish enemies from allies.
Among the Magma Dog Heads, some bore magma-like stripes emitting the scent of sulfur and scorching glow.
Illuminating the hall in an orange-red hue.
Their arrival disturbed them, and the hounds got up ready to assess the situation.
"Quiet."
Zong Shen whispered, and the four hounds lay back down.
