The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

After days of running around, Xu Lai was covered in dust.

After a simple wash, he finally had his first hot meal in so many days.

After eating and drinking, and setting up the tent, Xu Lai couldn't wait to rest.

After Xu Lai fell asleep, Elvy secretly got up and flew to the sky to patrol the surroundings.

Those dungeon people seemed to be really honest this time, and even the escaped red dragons didn't come back.

This is not surprising. Although the people in the dungeon also wanted to come back to explore the situation, they smelled a strong aroma of dragon meat as soon as they got close.

This is already extravagant, using dragon meat as marching rations. What happened in the middle, is there any need to say.

Therefore, all the dungeon species who smelled this aroma ran away as if they were running for their lives.

Especially those red dragons, the recruited ones don't know anything like fools, and they can't tell the wild red dragons apart. What is that smell?

With their keen sense of smell, they could even smell whether the roasted dragon meat came from their ancestors.

Even their ancestors became someone else's meal, so how could these young red dragons dare to get close? They would flee farther than the lowest-level cavemen.

Elvy gritted her teeth and decided to fly out of the warning range set by Xu Lai and approach a nearby underground city.

Although Xu Lai stepped on traps twice these days, the seraphim flying in the sky have never triggered them.

There is no support in the sky, so traps cannot be set generally, but the sky of the underground city has an upper limit. If it is really used by those sorcerers, it is indeed possible to be caught.

Therefore, Elvy is particularly cautious.

She is confident in her strength, but she is afraid of causing any trouble to Xu Lai and does not want to bring any trouble to Xu Lai.

Unlike the usual dim underground city, today's underground city is very lively, and it is rare to light up all the lighting fixtures, illuminating the sky.

Elvie didn't dare to get too close, but now she was the leader of the Seraphim and could wear equipment freely.

Xu Lai had a lot of idle space rings in his hand, and he had cracked several of them. He picked a relatively large space and gave it to Elvie.

During normal battles, Elvie was reluctant to change the attribute ring in her hand, and she would only wear it when she didn't need to fight.

Elvie's space ring was equipped with night vision goggles for night vision, telescopes for reconnaissance, magic lamps for signaling, as well as some food and drink items, healing potions, etc., all of which were useful things.

Through the telescope, Elvie could clearly see that this underground city seemed extremely busy.

There were cavemen constantly leaving with large and small bags of things, and some were digging caves directly in the city.

The houses in the underground city were generally built in the real underground, after all, most of them were cavemen who liked to live in caves.

But the underground nobles generally refused to live underground.

Now, with the threat of the Doomsday Judgment, these underground nobles also had to learn the way of survival of the cavemen and live in caves.

Elvi shook her head and quietly placed a scout ward on a high platform near the city.

Although the scout ward is not permanent like the scout eye, the advantage is that it can be released at any time and does not require a mage.

This time, Xu Lai brought a lot of scout wards and true vision wards. In order to have a good rest, the camp also placed true vision wards that can detect invisibility.

After sleeping for more than 5 hours, Xu Lai woke up naturally.

He originally scheduled 4 hours, divided into two shifts, but no one called him to get up, so Xu Lai simply remembered it in his heart and woke up at about the same time.

After waking up, Xu Lai did not blame Jilong and the others, but just urged them to rest, after all, they were doing it for his own good.

The Seraphim and the Holy Light Knights rested in shifts.

Compared with the low- and middle-level soldiers, another feature of these high-level warriors is that they have better endurance.

Low-level soldiers like farmers need to rest for at least 8 hours a day, while high-level soldiers can recover a lot with one or two hours of rest every day with the help of high-level tents.

Today is also a rare day for them to have a good rest.

It is true that they can persist with only one or two hours of rest every day, but what will be affected is the length of time they can persist in frontal combat.

Xu Lai has verified his conjecture, so he simply let everyone recover to the best condition and then head straight to the burial place of the God of War's hand.

He has been delayed underground for a long time.

After a full rest, Xu Lai and his knights set off on the journey again with full energy.

This time it was particularly smooth. Not only did they not encounter traps on the road, but even those underground cities that originally refused to let Xu Lai pass opened their gates early before Xu Lai approached.

The dungeon people are so hospitable that Xu Lai really has the urge to go in and have a good look.

Although Darkhor was more prosperous before, he went there to create chaos and destruction, so he really didn't have time to observe and study it carefully.

However, since it was a hostile city, neither Elvy nor the personal guard Roland would allow him to enter.

In fact, if you look closely, you can find that the entire city is almost empty except for some low-level cavemen.

The dirty nest that originally belonged to the cavemen is now occupied by high-level dungeon nobles.

Xu Lai would have no extra gains except for killing these fragile cavemen with his Doomsday Judgment.

Although the gate of the city was open for Xu Lai, he did not go in after all.

At the insistence of Roland and others, Xu Lai spent another half an hour to bypass the city and continue to rush to the destination.

Without the interference of the underground city, Xu Lai and his team moved faster immediately.

About half a day later, following the map, they had already arrived at the location marked with a cross on the obelisk map.

"Elvy, you take the Fiery Element and the Reconnaissance Guard, the True Vision Guard, and monitor all the nearby cities and passages.

Let the Fiery Element guard on the spot, and you don't stay outside."

Elvy bowed and took two hundred Fiery Elements to arrange all the nearby entrances and exits and roads.

After Elvy left, Xu Lai said to Jilong and Roland:

"You two, take the Holy Light Knights and the remaining Fiery Elements, and patrol the area in a cross-patrol.

If you find anyone, whether it is a dungeon creature or not, even if it is a human, just kill them on the spot or drive them away.

I don't want anyone to pass the exam here."

Xu Lai didn't tell anyone about the golden statue of the God of War. Jian Yuan and the others might have guessed it, but Roland and Jilong didn't know what Xu Lai was doing.

Xu Lai could trust these two people, especially Roland, who was a complete diehard.

However, for the sake of safety, Xu Lai still sent them out.

Fiery Elements are summoned creatures after all. Unless Xu Lai clearly tells them to attack any target, they can only attack the evil camp and stop the neutral camp.

If a human follows him secretly, it is easy to get past these Fiery Elements.

Although Xu Lai doesn't believe that after a week of being chased by the dungeon army, there is still a human who can chase him so powerfully.

"Your safety..."

"Elvy will be back soon. With her here, what are you worried about?"

Roland opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. He led a group of Holy Light Knights to Xu Lai's left.

Jilong, with the remaining more than 100 Fiery Elements, set off to Xu Lai's right.

Roland finally left two Holy Light Knights for Xu Lai. Xu Lai didn't say anything about this. Roland and his team still had twelve people, enough to deal with most situations.

In the end, among the people present, only Xu Lai and Jian Yuan were able to act independently.

Xu Lai silently took out two shovels from his space backpack, handed one to Jian Yuan and said:

"Let's start digging and see who can find the artifact first."

Jian Yuan has been engaged in map comparison work, and of course he knows what Xu Lai wants to dig.

The reason why Xu Lai left Jian Yuan is precisely because the other party's scout was born and could find the most central position on the map.

Digging down from the center of the circle, they dug a seven or eight meter deep pit, but still found nothing.

At this time, Elvy had already rushed back, but Xu Lai did not allow her to help, and still let her conduct reconnaissance above his head.

After seven or eight meters without any harvest, Xu Lai was not discouraged at all.

The soil in the underground city is much harder than the soil on the surface. Even professional cavemen can only dig more than ten meters deep at most.

Xu Lai has high strength and physique. As long as the durability of the shovel is still there, he can insert it to the bottom every time and pick up a full shovel of soil or rock.

The high endurance brought by the high physique makes him not feel tired at all, and even has a very pleasant sense of venting.

Xu Lai and his team were considered fast, but they dug a large pit with a diameter of more than fifteen meters and a depth of more than ten meters before they heard a crisp sound of ding.

The two of them hurriedly added more strength, and sure enough, a few minutes later, they used the fifteenth shovel to dig out the golden artifact box.

After digging out the artifact box, Xu Lai did not open it immediately. This thing was exactly the same as the box he dug out the first time, and there was no mistake at a glance.

Xu Lai sat on one side and said, "Damn, I dug for several hours, and I don't know how much strength I used, but this thing was buried so deep."

The ground was originally hard, and it got harder the deeper it went, and this thing was buried deep enough.

Even with Xu Lai's current physique and strength, he was holding on to save face in front of Elvy.

Jian Yuan had already stopped digging, not because he was exhausted, but with his strength, even a new shovel could only dig one or two centimeters.

This artifact was buried so deep that it would be useless for those with lower levels to come over.

After resting for a while, Xu Lai got up and opened the box.

Although the box is only half the size of a person, the space inside is obviously more than that.

The pair of hands of the god of war stored inside are even taller than Xu Lai.

[Hand of the god of war] (unique): One of the components of the golden statue of the god of war. The town (settlement) with the hand of the god of war has a 50% increase in the growth rate of elite soldiers of level 5-6.

The town with the hand of the god of war will receive the blessing of the god of war and receive gold coins*500 every day.

All troops belonging to the town with the hand of the god of war have morale +3 (not superimposed with other god of war components), and when fighting within the town's sphere of influence, all friendly soldiers have spirit +5.

The attributes are basically the same as Xu Lai guessed.

Xu Lai no longer valued the 500 gold coins per day brought by the Hand of the God of War, and the effect of morale +3 could not be continuously added up.

The growth rate of level 5-6 troops does have some effect. The Champions Hall that Xu Lai just built not long ago can directly recruit level 6 knights from the building, which can enjoy the bonus.

However, Xu Lai personally rushed underground and dug out the arms with great pains, not just to recruit a few more knights every month.

Even if this thing allows each person to recruit 10 more knights, in half a year and 6 months, there will only be a total of 60 knights. What use can it be.

What Xu Lai is really looking forward to is what kind of effect it will have after obtaining the complete golden statue of the God of War.

Xu Lai has been holding back this kind of expectation for a full year, and he is really eager to know the answer.

However, he was not physically strong enough at this time and could not directly use the Gate of Time and Space to teleport back.

Moreover, even if he has enough strength now, after he thinks clearly, he has no intention of going back.

"Tell me, should I talk to the dungeon man?"

Xu Lai called over Roland, Jilong, and Jian Yuan Elwei who were patrolling, and held a small impromptu meeting.

“The dungeon race is cunning, selfish and greedy, what do you have to talk about with such people.

At this time, they may be thinking of some conspiracy against us. "

Roland, who was a Paladin, immediately expressed his opposition.

Xu Lai smiled, but he was not surprised. Instead, he smiled and said:

"You're right. If those guys weren't thinking about conspiracy, I would feel abnormal."

Roland opened his mouth and wanted to say, since you know this, why would you put yourself in danger?

But when he said this, Roland felt that he was timid, so he suppressed it.

"I agree with Knight Roland. The dungeon races are insidious and cunning, and there is absolutely no need for you to negotiate with them.

No matter what conditions they are willing to agree to, once they feel they can resist you, they will stab you in the back without hesitation. "

Elvi also said quickly.

Xu Lai narrowed his eyes and said, "If you say that, do you think those dungeon people will agree to my conditions?"

Elvi frowned and said: "Those guys have one advantage, that is, they are particularly aware of current affairs, but they are definitely not trustworthy."

Xu Lai laughed and said: "You are overthinking Elvi. The prerequisite for stabbing someone in the back is from behind.

And I would never trust these guys, so I would never give them a chance to get behind my back. "

Elvi bit her lip and said, "What conditions do you want them to agree to? Whatever you want, we can just grab it. Is it necessary to negotiate with them?"

Xu Lai took a deep breath and said slowly:

"I want them to recognize me as the King of the Underground, but I don't need them to be loyal to me like they are loyal to the Dragon Queen. I just need them to hand over enough money and resources to me every month." (End of Chapter)
