Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord - Chapter 257
257 Extremely Rich
When the storm swept through, more than half the magic puppets were destroyed. Their combat power dropped drastically. The magic puppets were crippled.
The lethality of the battleaxes-bearing warriors was terrifying.
However, that did not make a dent in the number of magic puppets. More rushed out from the rear to make up for the numbers lost. The battle continued.
The Night Devil Bees launched another attack when the magic puppets’ defense line was weakened. They were extremely agile. They swooped down and killed the magic puppets that reacted too slowly.
!!
The damage it caused was not any weaker than that of the battleaxe warriors. The magic puppets were devoured under the onslaught.
Gems tumbled to the ground. Su Wan and the others felt energized whenever they saw the gems. They commanded the troops more eagerly to win the battle.
The battle began to reach its climax. Scarlen looked at the passages from where the magic puppets were still rushing out to join the fray.
“Your Majesty, I request to participate in the fight!”
Xu Yuan looked at the never-ending onslaught of magic puppets and nodded. He activated the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing and cast it on Scarlen.
Scarlen transformed into the Night Elf King. He shot an arrow at lightning speed. The arrows charged toward the area where the magic puppets were dense in numbers.
The two magic puppets were caught in a cold light. Their heads disintegrated and they flew backward.
The Night Elf King’s combat style was very violent. His magic arrows were sharp and powerful. Wherever the arrow passed, the magic puppets were crippled.
Zhao Qingrong summoned her own champion! The hero she summoned emitted crimson energy. A blood-colored ball jumped rapidly in its hand.
If that ball of blood was used to attack, it would suck out the blood of the enemies and increase damage by 50%. However, the enemies were all puppets. There was no blood that could be used, but the ball was still terrifying.
The ball tore through the sky and smashed into the puppets. There was an explosion. Corrosive magic enveloped the area.
Unlike the previous explosion of the warrior’s weapon, this explosion was corrosive and spread sulfuric acid fumes. The fumes tore through the bodies of the puppets.
The magic puppets were destroyed.
The two top-tier heroes joined the battle, and the area became a battlefield. The number of magic puppets was decreasing.
The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and the number of enemies pouring out of the passages gradually diminished until they disappeared without a trace. When the last magic puppet fell, Su Wan wiped the sweat from her forehead.
The intense fight had left her drained and low on stamina. However, when she looked at the floor, she was excited. The ground was covered with gems.
The gems sparkled in the light of the magic lamps. Su Wan was delighted. She had spent a lot of resources while building the Hero Altar. She wanted to make up for it.
A notification appeared. Su Wan, Shi Linglong, Zhao Qingrong, and Lin Yao were ecstatic.
They gained 20,000 experience points! Also, the numerous gems on the floor made the Lord happy. Today’s harvest was wonderful.
“Destroy the magic puppets and take out the gems!” Su Wan commanded.
Based on what they had achieved so far, the benefits of exploring a ruin were not any less than discovering an ore mine.
Su Wan stared at the three passageways. No more magic puppets came out from there. She sent two scouts to explore the place.
She also sent some scouts from her friends’ troops. Her eyes lit up. Having more people on her side was indeed very useful.
Su Wan had more cannon fodder to act as scouts and distractions.
After a while, the scouting team returned. They reported that it was safe to enter the passageways.
“My lord, I found the architectural layout of this ruin in the passageway.” A Night Elf handed the scroll to Su Wan.
She glanced at Xu Yuan. He nodded. Thus, she led her troop to investigate one of the passageways.
Su Wan opened the scroll. The edges of the scroll were yellow with age. There were various buildings marked on the layout. They continued forward. The deepest cave was marked on the scroll. It supposedly held numerous materials which were used to make the magic puppets.
Su Wan’s heart pounded in excitement. ‘A warehouse filled with materials! What will I find there?’
Unfortunately, most of the construction areas she had passed weren’t marked on the scroll, which made her think of other unmarked places that might hold a lot of resources.
An hour later, the magic puppets were all dismantled. The gems used as their energy source varied. The severely depleted puppets only had two gems inside them, while the still rich in energy had four.
In the end, they obtained around 1000 tons of magic gems. Each Lord took around 250 tons of gems. It was still a fortune!
A mini gem mine only had 900 units of reserves. The harvest this time was more than they would have gotten from a mini gem mine. However, the danger was greater here. If they rushed in hastily, they might all end up dead.
The risk involved in this ruin was evident from the onslaught of so many magic puppets. They couldn’t take this lightly.
After reorganizing the army, Su Wan determined that there were no additional gains in the hall and led the troops toward the central passageway.
The other two passages had already been investigated by the troops. Those two turned out to be storage areas for the magic puppets.
After the magic puppets were destroyed, the other two passageways were empty.
After passing through the long passage, they finally came upon the room where the magic puppets had been manufactured.
The hall was 40 meters tall and over 500 meters wide. The puppets were piled up everywhere. The piles towered like mini mountains.
The place smelled moldy. Most puppets had rusted away. They couldn’t help feeling a bit sad at the dilapidated feeling the room emanated.
They were even more disappointed at the ruined puppets. If the puppets were intact, the Lords could have taken them away and formed an army of their own.
Su Wan led the troops and passed through the place while following the scroll.
