Chapter 550: Chapter 407: Earth Dragon Submits, Alternative Treasure-Seeking Mouse
"I just arrived at the Divine Domain Continent and need a mode of transportation."
Xu Gu said casually,
"Are you interested?"
The corners of the Earth Dragon’s mouth twitched as he fell into deep silence, his face written with resentment, even full of tears.
What interest could he possibly have?
Who in their right mind would forsake being a Demon King to become someone’s transportation tool?
Isn’t that crazy?
But could he dare say he wasn’t interested?
The person in front of him was too fierce, at an extremely low level, only Level 54, full of youthful vigor, still childish, yet shockingly powerful.
With just one kick—no, two!—he had been trampled underfoot.
If he dared utter a single "no," it would be unsurprising for the Earth Dragon’s head to roll!
Death would be certain!
"Roar!"
After hesitating for a long time, the Earth Dragon Envoy battled his inner turmoil and ultimately abandoned his pride and dignity, lowering his head in submission, nearly fawning as he said,
"I had this idea long ago; I just never met a wise and mighty master like you!"
Xu Gu nodded, unsurprised,
"This is the servitude contract, sign it."
He could have directly used the Battle Instrument to enslave him. However, he wanted to know just how cowardly these indigenous Demon Kings could be, conducting a small experiment.
The result, as expected, didn’t surprise him.
These indigenous Demon Kings were truly cowardly!
No pride or dignity, merely wanting to survive.
The Earth Dragon Envoy signed with tears, his heart filled with boundless regret, wishing he hadn’t been greedy, risking everything for a small drop of Divine Blood.
"Master, are you going to the Underworld?" The Earth Dragon Envoy glanced at Xu Gu, then hesitantly said, "Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?"
"In what way?" Xu Gu asked.
"Because the Underworld is too dangerous. Even as a special Envoy, favored by the earth, I can only operate on the outskirts," the Earth Dragon Envoy cautioned carefully.
He was truly afraid Xu Gu would rush headlong to his doom!
The lower space, accessible to mid-level Human King powerhouses?
At the very least, one must be an Upper Human King to barely survive!
Xu Gu laughed, "That’s not urgent. Rest assured, while I am confident, I am not blindly so."
The lower space, he couldn’t go there just yet.
He had no plans to go anytime soon.
Gradual progress was necessary; first, devour the indigenous strongmen on the surface, develop a bit, and then seek the Divine, the War God left him in the lower space.
Additionally, the Soul Clan reemerging and stirring on the Divine Domain Battlefield needed to be reported to the Human Clan kings.
Let the Human Clan kings try to find ways to address the issue.
He currently lacked the capability and energy to confront the Soul Clan alone.
"That’s good!" The Earth Dragon Envoy breathed a sigh of relief, extremely thankful.
Truly afraid Xu Gu would lead him around courting death!
"Master, since we’re not going to the lower space, where should we go next?" the Elf Queen asked cautiously.
And added, "Master, your location has been exposed. It’s only a matter of Time before the Mechanical Sea kings arrive. Since we’re not heading to the lower space, why not return to the Human Clan camp first?"
Although Xu Gu didn’t take the Mechanical Sea kings seriously, they felt compelled to worry.
"There’s still Time; no need to rush. Let’s first wipe out the God Giant Skeleton’s lair," Xu Gu said with a smile.
Both the God Giant Skeleton and the Soul Devouring Divine Bee were indigenous to the Divine Domain Continent, definitely surrounded by their lairs, full of treasures inside.
As for the Mechanical Sea kings, it would take Time for them to arrive.
Moreover, if they truly came in large numbers, the Human Clan wouldn’t sit idly by and allow them to rampage.
"I know where the God Giant Skeleton’s treasure is!"
The Earth Dragon Envoy announced,
"I know the whereabouts of all the above-ground Demon Kings’ treasures."
It was one of his talents.
But he immediately shut his mouth, realizing his slip of tongue.
Knowing Xu Gu’s temperament, finding these Demon Kings’ treasures meant provoking each one here?
Wouldn’t that make him a public enemy of the entire continent, hunted by all kings?
This was precisely why, knowing the treasures of those Demon Kings, he refrained from taking action, only seeking unattached treasures nearby.
Because he didn’t want to become universally hated and condemned!
That would be too dangerous!
As expected, hearing the Earth Dragon’s words, Xu Gu’s eyes lit up.
This wasn’t just a means of transportation between the Underworld and surface; it was a treasure-seeking rodent?
It seemed he had stumbled upon a major boon!
"Take me to the God Giant Skeleton’s treasure first," Xu Gu ordered.
This way, it saved the trouble of searching.
"Alright!" The Earth Dragon Envoy sighed and roared, leading the way upfront.
It didn’t take long for Xu Gu and the group to arrive at the God Giant Skeleton’s lair.
It felt like Hell on earth, with countless piles of bones stacked like mountains, the air filled with a pungent stench of decay.
The first thing in sight was a vast mountain!
Among them, were numerous Auto Man bodies from the Human Clan.
Taking up a significant portion.
"The Human Clan’s position on the Divine Domain Battlefield isn’t very favorable either," Xu Gu sighed upon seeing it.
Stepping into a cave several hundred meters high.
"This is Divine Origin! So much Divine Origin!"
The moment Liu Ying entered the cave, she screamed, shock written all over her face.
In the cave’s center was a pool entirely filled with Divine Origin.
"Truly natives of the Divine Domain Continent!" The Elf Queen exclaimed with amazement.
The other companions nodded in agreement.
Divine Origin could only be condensed by the Gods, a rare treasure, replenishing energy, healing injuries, enhancing vitality, and boosting potential.
Usually, only Upper Kings, even Extreme Kings, could enjoy it.
Yet, in the Divine Domain Continent, even a Lower King possessed this much.
"After all, it’s a graveyard for Divines, where countless True God Level Divines fell. This occurrence is normal," the Golden Beast said, exuding an air of seniority and calmness.
Xu Gu smiled calmly, not overly reacting, merely commented, "Divide these among yourselves. Quickly elevate your power to the Demon King level."
As he spoke, he absorbed all the Divine Origin from the pool into the Battle Space, distributing it to his loyal Battle Kings and trusted lieutenants.
With the support of the Soul Devouring Divine Bee, this much Divine Origin, and the additional earthly treasures Xu Gu provided, plus the nurturing from the Life Tree, their return to kingship was inevitable.
"Thank you, Master!"
His loyal lieutenants shouted excitedly in unison.
Xu Gu nodded in satisfaction.
Soon, nearly ten Demon Kings would rise among his ranks.
And this was just the beginning. His goal was to forge the Battle Instrument into a true second Mechanical Sea!
Commanding a million Demon Kings and Gods!
