The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

After finding the correct passage and receiving an unexpected piece of information, Xu Lai instantly became very motivated.

However, as we go deeper into this pitch-black place, not only does the surrounding area become darker and darker, but also the air becomes less refreshing.

A faint fishy smell penetrated Xu Lai's nose from time to time.

The air here is not very circulated, and there is the smell of blood coming from the back and the muddy smell of the soil, which are mixed together and make people very uncomfortable.

There is nothing he can do about the discomfort. If it was just a simple dragon kingdom, Xu Lai might give up.

But with the addition of an unknown, distant, and possibly capital-level abandoned city, it was impossible for Xu Lai to give up.

There is another uncomfortable place to live underground.

This place is always dark, but the place with the glowing mushrooms has a dim light 24 hours a day.

Staying here for a little longer can easily confuse a person's biological clock.

Logically speaking, Xu Lai and the others were traveling very fast, but they really couldn't move any faster now.

Elvi no longer explored the path ahead, but held up a magic lamp and flew above their heads.

There is a light with good brightness above the head. Even if it cannot shine too far, it can at least have a mark.

They had seriously deviated from the direction because they were running too fast. Not only did Giselle look back and fail to find them, but even Jian Yuan, who was proficient in investigation, almost didn't find them when he looked back.

It was Xu Lai who realized that he had walked for a long time without seeing the mark left by Jian Yuan. Then he turned around and was discovered by Elvi in ​​the air.

Fortunately, I brought Elvi with me this time. Without her as an air unit, it would be really troublesome to find someone.

And without markings, in this underground place where the light cannot shine very far, you may keep wandering around in the huge open space without finding the exit.

Xu Lai and the others thought they were walking in a straight line, but in reality it was impossible for them to walk in a straight line.

One step is a little crooked, ten steps and a hundred steps will deviate from the direction. After thousands of steps, you don't know where you have gone.

It's better for Xu Lai to have dark vision, at least he can see further than light.

But if he was allowed to explore alone, even with a map and a cheating spell like seeing through the earth, he would probably get lost in this place.

If you go too far, you won’t even know where you are, let alone refer to a map.

Unless you are walking along the edges of the passage, this kind of place is often the most dangerous, with countless natural traps.

After Elvi returns, she will be the guiding light in the sky. Xu Lai, Jian Yuan, and Giselle can roughly form a straight line.

Whenever they need to avoid wild monsters, Jian Yuan and the others will mark the ground in advance to remind Xu Lai and Elwe to turn.

Once they let go, Xu Lai and the others were actually quite fast.

Even though there is not even a decent road in the dungeon, ordinary people will be affected a lot, but with the blessing of pathfinding, Xu Lai and the others are still walking on plain ground.

Even if they can let go, Jian Yuan and others can't.

The troops were divided into three groups before, and the exploration speed was still very fast. However, without Elvy who was observing from a high altitude, the speed dropped a lot.

I don't know how much time had passed, but after turning a huge bend, even Xu Lai, who had a very poor sense of direction, noticed that they seemed to be heading in the direction they had just come from.

If they were really going back, it meant that this curve was just blocked in the middle. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be able to see the Kingdom of Dragon immediately.

But Xu Lai knew that besides them, there were countless skeletons resurrected near the Dragon Kingdom.

Xu Lai didn't know if anyone was commanding these skeletons. He only knew that their current condition was not very good.

Jian Yuan and Giselle, who were exploring the road, eliminated traps and lured away wild monsters along the way, providing a smooth road for Xu Lai and the others behind them.

Even with horses and unicorn beasts, the physical exertion of the two of them was huge.

The rest of the people are about the same. Elvi has been flying for a whole day and has not come down from the sky today.

Anna's mana consumption is also very high. As the main damage-resistant character, Naaru's physical strength consumption is also very high.

Therefore, when Jian Yuan and the others discovered the skeletal creature, Xu Lai ordered them to rest where they were.

You can't tell whether it's day or night underground. Everyone needs a good 8 hours of rest. We may have to face two battles back to back.

During the break, Xu Lai, Nalu, Elwe and others took turns on duty to explore Jian Yuan and Giselle, who were the most critical on the map. Xu Lai allowed them to rest peacefully.

Originally, Xu Lai didn't want to arrange for Naru. After all, this guy was too young and had no experience in going out alone.

However, Lord Xu Lai was on night watch, and Naru refused to rest by himself.

In desperation, Xu Lai had to arrange a night watch for him, but he was still worried after all. When Nalu went on watch, he still didn't fall asleep.

Fortunately, there was a Holy Light Knight accompanying Naaru, and the Holy Light Knight dutifully patrolled the camp.

Even if the Holy Light Knight couldn't talk to him, having such a person wandering around would make him feel much better.

A few hours later, Anna got up early and prepared breakfast for everyone.

Especially Xiaolan, the sacred dragon. Before going to bed last night, Xu Lai only stuffed him with a leg of lamb left over from lunch. He didn't even heat it, and just threw it cold.

Anna thoughtfully prepared hot meat porridge, milk, eggs, and steamed hot buns for everyone.

Because of this outing, Xu Lai didn't plan to stay away for too long.

Therefore, the food is much better than the usual dry food, bread and the like.

The main reason is that there are few people coming out. Even if there is an extra holy dragon cub, Xu Lai's space backpack can completely fit it.

What's more, he also brought a supply truck out this time, so there is no need to worry about food and ammunition.

After eating and drinking, everyone continued to advance towards the Kingdom of Dragons.

Jian Yuan had already drawn the specific map yesterday. Today he only needs to follow Xu Lai and lead the way personally.

If the charge is not started, it cannot even be considered full speed. In order to maintain the physical strength of the war horse, it can only be regarded as trotting and warming up.

But it still only took less than ten minutes for Xu Lai to see the pale white ghost fires in the sky.

When Xu Lai discovered them, these undead also discovered Xu Lai at the same time.

It should be said that the desperadoes discovered Xu Lai much earlier than Xu Lai discovered them.

However, these undead souls don't seem to be interested in Xu Lai for the time being.

In the sky, one or two flames spurted out from time to time.

With the help of these firelights, Xu Lai could clearly see the red dragon and black dragon that were breathing.

The blazing flames not only lit up the entire sky, but also burned the skeletal dragons that had no flesh or skin until they were as white as jade.

It's a pity that these bone dragons can't feel pain or heat. Even if they are burned up in this terrifying dragon flame, they will not make a single sound.

Xu Lai looked through the earth yesterday and saw some blurry scenes from a distance.

What he didn't expect was that after one day and one night, the fighting was still going on.

Since the undead didn't take the initiative to attack him, he was happy to watch the show from the sidelines.

Moreover, it was not enough to see it from a distance. It was not clear yet, so Xu Lai had to get closer to see it.

At the closest point, a bone dragon with bones all over its body, so transparent that it turned white, was less than ten meters above Xu Lai's head.

A distance of more than ten meters may still seem very far on the ground.

But if it was above his head, it would really feel like he was right in front of him. Riding on a tall royal horse, Xu Lai even felt that he could touch it if he stretched out his hand.

After watching it for a while, Xu Lai understood what was going on.

These undead are not attacking the Dragon Kingdom at all, they are hunting these giant dragons.

Xu Lai didn't know how many giant dragons guarded the outskirts of the Dragon Kingdom.

But now, Xu Lai only saw a dozen of them.

Moreover, he has not seen any dragon corpse on the ground.

Logically speaking, the dragon's body will not be refreshed before the battle is over.

Even if the undead attack once in a while, as long as they keep attacking, the battle will continue.

A mere dozen giant dragons and hundreds of undead bone dragons do not require ground troops. A single charge should be enough to resolve the battle in half an hour at most.

However, Xu Lai saw that after these bone dragons focused their fire to kill a giant dragon, they not only did not continue to attack, but instead took the initiative to withdraw.

The morale of the giant dragons had long been broken. As soon as the undead retreated, they took the initiative to flee back to the Dragon Kingdom without any thought of pursuing them.

The key is that they don't want to escape yet. The magical energy escaping from these wild buildings can naturally attract these wild monsters.

The more powerful the wild building is, the more powerful the wild monsters it attracts.

After the dragons escaped, the undead that had originally retreated turned back again.

Before the dragon's body disappeared, a lich wearing a crown suddenly appeared in Xu Lai's sight.

It really came out of the blue.

Xu Lai relied on his powerful dark vision, even without the dragon's flame breath, and only relied on the weak aura of the Dragon Kingdom, to see the battlefield clearly enough.

Even the bone dragon in the sky, the transparent glass ghost dragon, and the skeleton warriors, skeleton generals, skeleton archers, etc. on the ground, Xu Lai could clearly spot them all.

However, Xu Lai could not see this lich wearing a crown at all.

It was not an invisibility spell, Giselle quietly told Xu Lai. It should be like her, passively and completely integrated into the shadows.

Of course, this is not the Lich's ability, but the shadow dragon under his crotch.

Compared with those ghost dragons that are so white that they are luminous and transparent, the shadow dragon is not white, but a bit black.

The brightness in the dungeon was too poor and the distance was too far. Xu Lai couldn't tell whether it was black, brown, or some other color.

However, the most obvious feature of other bone dragons is that they only have bones all over their bodies, and at most there are two huge ghostly orokins in their eye sockets.

But the Shadow Dragon, Xu Lai could vaguely see some flesh and blood on its body. (End of chapter)
