Chapter 846: Chapter 642: The Cave Opened Ahead of Ti
Hill glanced at An Minyi. When he said An Ran had already returned, this guy showed no signs of worry and even showed a provocative smile, seemingly confident that his people could eliminate An Ran.
It seems they don’t know that Fatty An is a high-level chanism master who can operate flying machinery.
So An Ran’s talents must be publicly considered poor, which is why most people don’t take him seriously.
Hill figured these people don’t understand one thing: as long as you have money and ti, becoming sothing above Legendary is challenging, but reaching high-level is just a matter of effort.
Not everyone can afford to burn that kind of money, but as the manager of the An Family Firm, An Ran has enough resources to achieve this.
However, very few people have such perseverance. Even if you reach high-level, your life tier doesn’t ascend; you only live a few more years while making enormous efforts that ordinary humans find hard to endure.
Living without much pressure, even enjoying life, many people eventually choose to follow the stream and live passively.
Hill looked again at Fatty An, standing behind the Head of An Family, looking extrely embarrassed, and suddenly understood why he found him likable.
He probably sensed that hardworking quality in him.
In the world where Hill wasn’t Hill, people like An Ran, who never gave up on themselves and fought hard without complaining, were admired by most, even if they themselves couldn’t do it.
Hill used his spiritual power to glance at the top, seeing the Head of An Family’s firm yet urgent expression, similar to the anxious An Ran beside him, revealing great acting skills.
If Hill hadn’t just received a ssage from them through a puppet, asking him not to allow anyone to enter the hole’s entrance, he might have thought they were truly anxious.
This Head of An Family probably wants to find out who is behind An Minyi and thus went along with the others to dig holes.
Anyway, they know that with Hill still below, An Pengfei is sure to survive.
Suffering so injuries doesn’t matter; it makes it seem more real.
Hill thought about this point, so he didn’t ntion the reinforcents overhead, knowing their arrival might distract the guards.
Especially An Minyi, who often glances sneakily at Hill, filled with ruthlessness and looking as if Hill ruined his big plans—who knows what he might do.
Hill certainly isn’t afraid of him, but he’s not inclined to help An Family clean out internal threats; he has already deciphered so mysterious runes on the array!
Fortunately, he once learned calligraphy for a while.
The Wo Empire’s culture in this world must have also originated from the Shulong Empire. The truly valuable stuff is hidden in the characters, though it differs sowhat from what Hill learned.
The horizontal and vertical lines have turned into curves, resembling ancient scripts, but having studied traditional characters, Hill can still understand a bit by patiently comparing, and that’s enough. Hill just needs to figure out the general aning of the runes.
Hill also understands why this matter must be done through Lin Yi. His maternal bloodline must co from the snake monster in this volcano; all these runes point to this monster within the volcano using necromantic power.
He must be attempting to deify himself, to turn himself into divine power that corresponds to the All Gods of the Heavenly Court.
No wonder the Secret Sect uses Guanyin, who, according to the Western view, is the Goddess of rcy, Compassion, and Joy, exactly the opposite divinity of the volcano serpent.
Only by using such power can the breath beneath the chamber be completely sealed. Because of this painting, An Family’s guards never suspected anyone would dare conduct such evil deeds under Guanyin’s watchful eyes.
Hill wondered what thod they used to completely seal the painting of Guanyin.
Hill glanced at An Pengfei, worried that a big boss would appear later; it indeed will happen.
But it shouldn’t be left to Hill to confront.
This chaotic array under their feet is still charging and won’t be ready for so ti.
Hill has discovered another use for this complex array, likely resulting in a giant corpse demon ford by the remains at the pond’s bottom.
This demons with starting level above 30 have no intelligence and only kill all living beings they can sense.
This seems to be the Wo Empire’s requirent.
After deliberating for so long, Hill finally understood their plan. Their goal is to trap the Shulong Navy and Magic Ship Fleet.
The Wo Empire aims to transition from pirates to official navy, becoming the new mariti overlord.
For this aim, they committed such a sinister act, and without Hill, they might have succeeded!
But it seems they ultimately failed too.
The Shulong’s naval fleet did indeed withdraw, but at that ti, Hill recalled that the Elven Royal Fleet returned to the ocean after completely clashing with the Eternity Island Nobility.
Just as the only competitor, the Shulong Fleet, stayed ho, Toril’s oceans practically beca the elves’ realm.
Hill let out a cold laugh, “Trying to steal the chicken, but losing the bait, creating benefits for others.”
This matter has little to do with him, Hill takes the opportunity to use spiritual power to probe this underground space.
This underground cave was not excavated by the Lin Family, but existed innately, and the Lin Family may have found it first before choosing the location.
Hill quickly discovered the reason why it was chosen here, the underground river is just twenty ters below, but the water temperature is extrely cold.
Clearly, with river water several degrees below zero, it hasn’t frozen at all. In this world, there is only one type of river: the waters of the Underworld.
This should be the most remote place in Benevolence City. After all, if people lived above the Underworld, they would certainly be weak and sick, their vital life energy carried away by the river.
People in Benevolence City for so reason do not know, but they must know it is not suitable for living here, no wonder the Lin Family directly moved into this city. As long as they co in and act like upstarts mimicking the Noble Clans, they will find the most suitable place, and that is here.
Both the Noble Clans and the Governor would thankfully throw this piece of land to this outsider as a sucker.
Hill thought silently, so the reason Benevolence was chosen should only be because of this segnt of unknown Underworld waters appearing so close to the surface.
Just like the Styx on the Ferun Great Land, the Underworld belongs to the necromantic road of the Heavenly Court System. Those ordinary people without an Ancestral Garden, return to the Grim Reaper’s embrace through the Underworld.
Normally, the Underworld flows 3,000 ters underground or even deeper, but there are unlucky places where a segnt inexplicably rises up.
Hill carefully sensed again. This shallow segnt of the Underworld is only 300 ters, but Benevolence City unfortunately owns about 30 ters.
Hill slowly relaxed: fortunately, there’s still a precondition. If it only took a few decades to stir up such a terrifying undead disaster, Bane could wipe out all of Ferun.
The Styx in Ferun, while easy to find, is tightly watched by that Grim Reaper.
Bane doesn’t dare to frequently appear in front of that one. A mad Grim Reaper who might rush to the Bottomless Abyss to slaughter things when reminded of past troubles, even the madman Cyric knows to avoid him.
As for Santir Fortress, although it doesn’t have the Styx, there are countless necromancers, death’s presence isn’t much less there.
Hill followed the Underworld, slowly finding so extrely fine holes, leading not only to this underground cave but also winding upwards along the stairwell.
So that’s it, the Guanyin portrait shrouded by the Underworld’s air is almost impossible to send out any signal to notify itself.
Hill silently looked at those fine holes, thinking that he knew what kind of monster the corpses would eventually beco.
Hill uneasily moved his feet, the guy behind all this is surely planning to activate the array after all the Family Heads co down. By then, can he leave first?
Just thinking about facing a combination of countless earthworms plus human bodies, Hill already felt like vomiting.
He’d rather see those bizarre demons from the Abyss!
What’s with this issue? Do Wo people from any world always like earthworms? Why do people always play with these things!
Hill silently looked up again, making up his mind. As long as an opening appeared overhead, he’d fly up without delay.
Anxious, he surveyed the underground cave, seeking a spot without fine holes.
No, Hill suddenly realized, what was he afraid of?
Others might open the way, but he could seal it!
The disgust was so overwhelming that he almost forgot even his instincts.
He moved a few steps, finding a spot with quite a few fine holes, but the cave was relatively winding, concentrating intensely and slowly sealing them off.
An Pengfei didn’t know why Hill was moving, but he sensed Hill didn’t want to take the initiative to act.
Indeed, as a Ferun person, there’s no need to get involved in the Kalartu Continent’s battles.
An Pengfei thought for a mont, then commanded his subordinates to surround the corner where Hill was located. Mr. Hill is already being helpful with antidotes and healing wounds, they couldn’t ask for more. He ca to buy things, not to risk his life.
The enemies should still be left for the Shulong People themselves to deal with.
An Pengfei took a mont to recover his stamina, unable to help but freeze for a mont.
It seems the action pleased soone, so the mist for healing wounds also carried effects for recovering stamina and even spiritual power.
An Pengfei chuckled, eting such an understanding Great Witch, though his eyesight is poor, his luck is quite good!
He removed his helt, tidying what was once called “black clouds covering the earth for thousands of feet,” now dirtied long hair, with a slight smile tidying his armor, no longer paying attention to that An Minyi, raised up his spear, and rejoined the battle.
A traitor is a traitor, no need to consider why he betrayed, the spear in his hand is his true partner!
A huge tremor suddenly ca from overhead, everyone couldn’t help but look up.
Hill strangely followed and looked over. So quickly, has a Great Witch arrived?
