The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

The druids from all three directions reported that they did not see any gnolls escaping the camp. Either Yeenoghu's Fang is still hiding in the camp, or there was no Fang at all.

Now, the only way is to ask the remaining living gnolls where Yeenoghu's Fang is. Attilan immediately flew to the camp.

"Eagle King, keep an eye on the sky with the giant eagles! Those who know healing spells, come with me!"

At this moment in the camp, the minotaurs were wielding axes and totem poles, and the centaurs were holding spears, each searching for living gnolls to finish off.

"Hold your blades! Keep all the living gnolls alive! I have something to ask them."

It was impossible to find a gnoll that was completely intact. The one in the best condition was missing half an arm, after being grazed by the chieftain's all-encompassing axe.

"Drag him away and kill him."

This one is too stupid to get any useful information out of. However, there was a bloody gnoll whose eyes showed a desire for life, as if he knew that Attilan was the dragon who could save him.

Attilan took him to the side, near the pile of gnoll corpses, and gave him a minor healing spell to give him the strength to answer questions.

"Where is Yeenoghu's Fang? Tell me, and I can heal your wounds and give you a chance to live. A druid will not break his promise."

Faced with Attilan's tempting words, the gnoll did not hesitate to betray his superior.

"There were originally two Fangs leading us. The old Fang was summoned back by the King, leaving only the new Fang to lead us to continue expanding the tribe's numbers."

"In the chaos just now, I seemed to see him hiding."

"Why continue to expand the tribe's numbers?"

"The King needs manpower to find treasures. Obtaining the treasure will give us the powerful force to rule the entire desert. At that time, we gnolls can destroy as much as we want."

A treasure with enough power to rule an entire desert?

Then, the forces coveting the treasure are definitely not just the gnolls. It is certain that all the major forces in the desert will be drawn into it. Attilan believes this is a good opportunity for him to occupy the entire desert and develop.

The total area of the desert is less than 4,000 square kilometers. Even if Attilan extends the West-South River's drainage area through the qanat method, the greening of the desert and expansion of usable area will not exceed 10,000 square kilometers.

Don't look at the desert having hundreds of thousands of square kilometers; the area of green land controlled by other forces may not necessarily exceed his.

Once he has developed well, the competition for the treasure should also become clear. By then, he can not only unify the desert but also obtain a rare treasure. Plan complete!

"I will heal you and let you go after confirming that you haven't lied to me."

Flower Girl and Yage held onto the dog-like lives of the other gnolls. Yage asked curiously:

"Did you get anything out of them? Did you find Yeenoghu's Fang?"

"I need to compare the confessions of the remaining gnolls to know if he lied to me. Except for these two, the others don't need healing."

Flower Girl looked at the gnolls in front of her in confusion. She felt they were all the same. Why could Attilan tell the difference at a glance?

"How did you tell them apart?"

The difference in the life force aura between a brain with an intelligence of 6 and one with an intelligence of 8 is too obvious. If Attilan hadn't started practicing Life Control, he wouldn't have been able to see it so easily.

"You can charm them with fairy magic, and you'll understand."

Anyway, they are going to die. Being able to contribute to the druid's cultivation before death is considered a blessing for their next life. Hopefully, they will have a chance to start over.

Unfortunately, their souls, contaminated by demonic power, can only be reborn in the Abyss. Then, Attilan will wish them the opportunity to become demon lords and come back to take revenge on him.

As expected, after Flower Girl used a charm spell, the gnolls with the two different intelligences showed completely different expressions. Flower Girl then changed to a control spell, and controlling the gnoll with an intelligence of 6 was incredibly smooth.

Using the result to prove the problem was not the answer Flower Girl wanted. What she wanted to know was how Attilan could directly see the difference.

"We'll talk about this question later. Let's find Yeenoghu's Fang first."

Unexpectedly, this time the gnolls were quite tough, or rather, cunning. He didn't think Attilan would let him go. Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well not say anything.

"Yage, I remember the Animal School has a spell called Memory Reading. Do you know it?"

Yage shook his head. Memory Reading is a very difficult spell to master. He did try to practice it once, but unsurprisingly failed.

Unexpectedly, the Leopard Girl didn't know when she had also run over. At this moment, she raised her hand triumphantly and said with a smile:

"I know it!"

"You?"

It wasn't that Attilan didn't believe her, but it was because Memory Reading is a very delicate spell, which didn't fit the Leopard Girl's usual careless and forgetful style.

Attilan flew into the sky, and strands of Rain of Grace evenly fell on the former gnoll camp. The life force contained in the raindrops allowed green grass and tender buds to sprout from the soil.

There was an area where Attilan clearly felt a subtle disharmony in the life he connected with through the Rain of Grace—a stone standing on the ground.

Attilan directly gathered his strength and unleashed a full-power Lightning Breath on the stone.

For normal life, the Ocean Wyrm's Lightning Breath could stimulate life force to grow, but for evil life, this effect was relatively fatal.

The stone emitted a burst of white smoke, which was a sign of demonic power being purified, just like holy water to demons. Yeenoghu's Fang's disguise magic was also broken by the Lightning Breath.

An ugly gnoll writhed on the ground in pain.

"You want to know what, I can tell you everything!"

"How many Yeenoghu's Fangs do you have, and how many gnolls have you transformed?"

"Twenty Fangs. When I left, there were already over four thousand gnolls. Now, there may be over five thousand!"

The gnoll knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

"I've told you everything I know. Can you let me go?"

"Sorry, I don't think I promised to let you go just now."

A bright bolt of lightning struck the gnoll. How could Attilan let go of this demonic Fang that could quickly expand the gnoll population? He summoned lightning and then spewed Lightning Breath. The demonic essence had to be purified!

Flower Girl and Yage also seized the opportunity to release purification spells on the wisp of black smoke that emerged from the gnoll's body. The demonic essence, already like a candle in the wind, dissipated directly.

Neatly using his tail to roll up a scattered spear and stab to death the two gnolls he had tricked into talking, he handed the spear to the blood-soaked minotaur chieftain and came to the gnoll he had promised to let go.

Attilan had really healed him. The gnoll looked at the dragon in front of him, half believing and half doubting.

"You can go. A druid keeps his promises."

The gnoll turned and scrambled away, but he didn't run far before a whistling spear pierced his chest.

"I told you, I wouldn't kill you."

Everyone, remember to come back and follow the updates on Tuesday. Please!
