Lord of Rot

Chapter 469: Recruiting her will be troublesome

A new day in the new year.

Outside the Rift Valley Crypt, the number of people in the village became less and less, and a few explorers frowned.

The business of the Tauren Tavern has plummeted since last month.

The reason is that no one who went underground to explore came out again, and those who were lucky enough to escape were either seriously injured or went crazy with fear.

Some people began to spread the news that there was a terrifying monster underground, with thousands of troops and horses, and it was invincible.

A heavily armed army stopped outside the village. A few scattered explorers looked over curiously, but after seeing the thunder pattern on the flag clearly, their expressions changed drastically and they hurriedly turned around and left.

"Lord Vito!" Doyle pulled the horse's reins awkwardly and came to the burly man's side: "I have already investigated the situation."

She brought the parchment in front of Vito, and her cheeks turned red, whether from fatigue or other reasons: "It is said that there are many terrifying and evil creatures down there that are as powerful as extraordinary people, nine feet tall, and some with wings. The lion likes to eat people."

Vito took the parchment and looked at it briefly, then shook his head: "Impossible."

He explained: "If there are really evil creatures underground and like to eat people, they should have come out of the underground long ago. We have no defense along the way. They can't hide underground all the time."

"You mean those legends are all false?"

"The prince has been here before." Vito shook his head: "I don't know, but she said that the space was not stable at that time. Maybe there were some new changes, but so many people never came back after going down. It should be true." It’s a pity that my time has been delayed for too long by trivial matters.”

Otherwise, he would have had time to come here to investigate.

The rampant tribal people and cults in Thailand left him with little to do.

A large number of people died, and it was also a broken projection plane that the prince was very concerned about. It could never be simple.

Doyle frowned and thought, trying to think from the perspective of Lord Vito, the 'Cunning Barbarian'.

A group of chaotic creatures that like to eat people were not far from the cave entrance, but they never came out.

Could it be that I can't see the light?

Obviously impossible.

In the myths and legends she had collected during this period, she had never heard of any monster that was afraid of the sun, except for vampires.

"There is an underground lord of chaos!" Doyle exclaimed.

This must be the case. Only an evil creature with absolute wisdom and sufficient strength can make a group of chaotic creatures obey.

The strong will only fear the stronger.

She found that Vito's expression did not change, which meant that the other party had already thought of this. Thinking of this, Doyle was stunned.

It’s no wonder it’s Mr. Vito!

"I'll take people down to take a look."

"Sir, it's very dangerous." Doyle hurriedly stopped him: "We can find a group of extraordinary people to come over, but ordinary soldiers have no way to face those monsters..."

As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller.

The population of Giant's Foot is not smaller than that of East Gorge, but due to various mixed religious issues, there are only a few people who are loyal to the prince. It seems that Prince Hoffman has intimidated the entire Giant's Foot with one person, but in fact there are many people who make small moves. , they can't gather too many extraordinary people.

"I must go down," Vito said. "You know, the prince is too tired. There are too many things for her to do."

"..." Doyle was silent.

Of course she knew that the seemingly powerful prince had very little power under his command and had to do many things by herself, which made her have to spend more time dealing with some small things that should not be in her hands.

Even if she were a legend, it would be impossible for her to manage the size of a principality.

"Don't worry, I have prepared the rare items. If there is any problem, I will send it out immediately."

Doyle bit his lip gently and whispered: "Sir, I will go with you."

After saying that, she shrank her neck, closed her eyes, and waited for the scolding.

But after a long time, the imaginary scolding did not come.

"Next time……"

The voice was gentler than expected.

Doyle opened his eyes and watched the burly figure leading the army underground. He hesitated for a long time but still did not follow. She was just an ordinary person, and following her would only cause chaos.

"My lord has no talent, but with his knowledge and constant training, he has gained a strong body that has been tempered many times. He will definitely not be in danger!"

……

"This training method is to give you a body that has been tempered for many times. Your talents are not good, but it does not mean that you have no chance of becoming a transcendent!"

Li Qi looked at the young men who were working hard on the martial arts field. They were the seed players who were most likely to become extraordinary beings after being screened in batches. After the giant silkworm chrysalises and the uninterrupted supply of giant crab meat, although no one had yet become extraordinary. However, each of them is tall and tall, and can be said to be a complete elite soldier.

The New Year holiday is very short. Even if the ice has not melted, the training of the soldiers cannot be stopped. One day wasted, and ten days of training were in vain.

While cultivating spellcasters, Li Qi did not give up cultivating his own transcendent. Even a pure muscle warrior like Vito can play a great role on the battlefield as long as he is paired with rune armor.

Even, Li Qi is more optimistic about teenagers without talent.

Muscles developed through hard work must know how to apply them better than God-given abilities, and they will also understand that they are hard-earned.

With the lord watching over them, the teenagers exercised harder.

They know very well that this is a rare opportunity. As long as they take this step, they will be able to stand out and gain glory. If they are not good at studying, don't they still know how to endure hardship? After careful calculation, I found that my family has endured hardships since my grandfather's generation.

"Ok?"

Li Qi suddenly received an urgent contact from the underground world.

This kind of thing would not have happened before, and there was no need for Ka Qi and other ghouls to take action, because Li Qi issued a strict expulsion order. For the explorers who entered the cave to explore, they would first let the centaurs shoot arrows to expel them.

Only when faced with some stubborn guys will manticores, ogres, and trolls be given extra food.

So much so that for a period of time, the centaurs did not even bother hunting. Every day, a group of people took the initiative to sacrifice their lives to feed the animals.

But this time is different, because the centaurs encountered a group of trouble.

Heavily armed elite cavalry.

The centaurs team immediately encountered danger. They were not used to wearing clothes, they had no horseshoes, and their weapons only had simple bows and arrows and weapons obtained from explorers.

Equipment was crushed.

"Horse rescuer!"

Li Qi immediately issued the order.

Horse people must not die. Their role is too great. First of all, they have high IQ.

It may not be as cunning as a crypt gnome, but it is definitely not stupid, and it moves fast. It can hunt and feed ogres and trolls, and it can also lead ogres and trolls to herd manticores. It is simply a top border collie.

For this reason, Li Qi saved a lot of effort.

If such a useful tool horse died, Li Qi would definitely be heartbroken. He also expected these horse people to spread their wings and give birth to second, preferably third, children.

Horses don't give birth, so who will do all the chores? We can't let the ghouls do it. Every repair done by the ghouls costs gold!

"and many more!"

Originally this was a game of cat catching mouse and dog catching cat.

If the centaurs can't deal with it, let the ogres deal with it. If the ogres can't handle it, let the ghouls take action.

However, when Li Qi saw the familiar muscular black dumpling and the Thunder family emblem through the eyes of the corpse, his heart twitched.

"Vito? Damn fat black man, why are you here!" Li Qi almost vomited blood: "I have helped you a lot before, and this is how you repay me?"

Who doesn't know that Vito is Prince Hoffman's loyal subordinate.

If Vito is killed, Prince Hoffman will inevitably come. What will happen then?

If you fight, you will definitely not be able to defeat him.

But if you don't kill him, this guy will come with great force, and even if he is temporarily forced back, he will still be able to shake people off.

Li Qi had seen the power of his "Prince Hoffman's Grand Summoning Technique" before, and it was really easy to call upon.

It was even more impossible for Li Qi to give up. The skin of the manticore was still very useful, and with his efforts, a group of female centaurs had become pregnant. And there was no place better than here to live with dark and chaotic creatures. Elsewhere, riots are sure to occur.

"My lord? Are you alright?" Lacey Sis, who was supervising the training, came over and asked worriedly.

Li Qi said quickly: "I have something urgent to do, I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, my lord."

After returning to the castle, Li Qi ordered no one to come in without his permission, and then with a thought, the black dragon Duo appeared on the desk.

Its snake-like slender body twisted, its wings folded, and it looked at Li Qi.

"Open your mouth!"

The black dragon opened its mouth, and a set of ordinary lobster plate armor flew out of the mouth and was worn by Li Qi.

Li Qi thought about it. At a certain point on the armor, the plate armor quickly deformed, turning from bright silver to pitch black.

Duo took the initiative to lie on his shoulder, found a comfortable position on the ferocious armor, and lay down with his tail hanging on his left chest and his head resting on Li Qi's right shoulder.

Using the black dragon's talent for stealth and Li Qi's identity as the contracted dragon master, he successfully hid his aura.

No matter who comes, they will only see that Li Qi is a mysterious man wrapped in black mist and cannot see the specific level of strength. As for how mysterious he is, it can only be revealed later.

Fortunately, Li Qi is somewhat confident about the recent developments.

"To the Rift Crypt"

"Ow~"

The scenery in front of him changed rapidly, and when it appeared again, he was back in the Rift Valley Crypt again.

Uncomfortable air poured into his nasal cavity, and Li Qi opened his mouth to breathe before he could barely adapt.

"Let's go and talk to that fat black man, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we recruit her!"
