Chapter 519: Vassal Tribe
Looking at Nicholas's uncontrollable fear, Bai Qi also realized the horror of the breath that Nicholas sensed.
Even when facing Aletta and the Nine Nether Bird, Nicholas had never been so frightened. Although he had the bonus of friendly favorability, this look clearly showed how powerful the opponent was.
However, Bai Qi slowly calmed down.
"A demigod dragon... the Black Dragon Tribe... Could it be the one from the Black Dragon Tribe that Nicholas sensed? It turned out to be a demigod black dragon. No wonder the Ghost Wolf is so afraid of it."
Bai Qi quickly analyzed the current situation and suddenly felt a headache.
Based on the information currently available, the base of the twin towers has basically fallen into the hands of the Black Dragon Tribe, and it is not very far from here.
"In this case, it will be very difficult to take back the bottom of the tower."
Bai Qi sighed. Judging from Nicholas' current situation, the opponent's strength was probably higher than that of the Nine Nether Bird. He thought there might be some hope if Grandma Fan came over.
Speaking of which, he did not find any materials left behind by the legendary ghost wolf in the black and white secret realm. Combined with the subsequent report from that idiot Beta, the ghost wolf should have escaped with the help of some life-saving skills.
The ghost wolf was certain that the Black Dragon Tribe and the Federation were colluding, and it would be great if the other party could use this as an excuse to cause trouble.
If a thousand beasts attack the city, he can take the opportunity to sneak in and find the bottom of the tower.
If you're luckier, you might be able to pick up two or three legendary materials.
"Beastmaster, your saliva is falling."
Looking at Bai Qi's silly smile, Shuke couldn't help but remind him.
"Saliva? What saliva?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi wiped the corner of his mouth as if nothing had happened, and reluctantly dispelled his fantasy.
Such an outrageous plot is something that even novels dare not write, so just think about it.
"Bai Qi, you guys stay here first. I'll go out and check the situation."
After some time of buffering, Nicholas slowly calmed down, and a hint of determination appeared in his dragon eyes again.
He is just a demigod. It's not like he has never come into contact with him before. Even if he is no match for him in a head-on fight, the other party will not have an easy time either.
If it really doesn't work, he will run back to the Emerald Dream and chase in if he has the ability. There, the green dragon is not afraid of any enemy!
"Okay, be careful."
Bai Qi nodded, watched Nicholas leave, then fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
The Emerald Dream does not welcome any flesh and blood creatures except green dragons, only souls can enter .
But soon, Nicholas flew back, woke up Bai Qi and others, and said, "That demigod black dragon should have just passed by and is far away now. We can go out now."
"Have you passed by?"
Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as they were not active nearby, it would be fine. Otherwise, they might not even be able to get out.
One man, one dragon and six pets carefully poked their heads out of the Emerald Seal. After confirming that Nicholas and Beta did not sense any danger, they left the Emerald Dream one by one.
"Bai Qi, what should we do now?"
Nicholas looked at Bai Qi and asked.
Bai Qi thought for a moment, looked up at the sky, and said, "Nicholas, do you remember which direction the black dragon came from?"
“It came from the west.”
Nicholas recalled carefully and said.
"In that case, let's go south."
It is not clear whether the black dragon is going home or going out, but no matter which direction it is, the east-west direction is very dangerous.
Relatively speaking, the risk of encountering it in the north-south direction is lower.
As for why not going north.
He was already far enough away from the Federation, so instead of going back north, he might as well just join the tribe.
"good."
Nicholas nodded, then he restrained his breath and transformed into a human form, following behind Bai Qi. Bai Qi also put away all his pets, leaving only the Husky and Gamma outside.
The current task is to figure out their current location. Too many of them will only expose the target, and the designs of Alpha and Delta are too cool, which will easily expose the target. Just keep the Husky and pretend to be a ferocious beast that is out with the beast soul master.
As for Gamma hiding under his clothes...
Of course it is used to save lives!
…
The climate here is extremely harsh and the number of ferocious beasts is extremely rare. Bai Qi walked for a long time but found no trace of the tribe.
"No wonder the tribe has been thinking about invading the federation. No one wants to stay here in such a harsh environment."
Bai Qi hid behind a rock wall, spit out the sand in his mouth, and said, "Shuke, can you find out anything?"
"The earth element energy here is too dense, and it has been messed up by the wind and sand, making it difficult to explore."
Shuke shook his head. In such an evil environment, it would be difficult for other creatures to survive here unless they were earth-type creatures.
"Benlong seems to have heard something."
At this moment, Nicholas suddenly lay on the ground, listened carefully for a while, then raised his head and said, "Bai Qi, there seem to be creatures moving underground, and there are quite a few of them."
"Underground?"
Bai Qi suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder they couldn't see any signs of life around them. Could it be that they were underground?
"Let's go directly underground."
Seeing the sandstorm showing no sign of stopping, Bai Qi immediately signaled Shuke to turn into a drilling machine and head underground.
Perhaps because of the strong earth element, the ground here was unusually hard. Shuke drilled underground for a long time before finally reaching an empty space.
"This looks like a mine tunnel?"
Bai Qi took back Shuke, looked at the obvious signs of artificial mining in the deep passage, and guessed.
"That should be it. We can still detect some residual traces of special metals here."
Shuke, who had transformed into a necklace and hidden himself, nodded and said, "But this place must have been abandoned for a long time."
"That's good."
Bai Qi nodded slightly. It was an abandoned mine tunnel, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered for the time being.
As for now, we need to capture two ferocious beasts or beast soul masters and bring them back to understand the situation in the vicinity.
…
The complexity of this mine was far beyond Bai Qi's imagination. If it weren't for Shuke's geological survey equipment, he would have been lost long ago.
"After digging so many mines, is the tribe planning an industrial revolution?"
Bai Qi became more and more confused as he walked, but he bumped into Nicholas who was walking in front of him.
"Bai Qi, the exit is just ahead."
Nicholas snapped his fingers, and an emerald mark appeared in front of Bai Qi, and on the other side of the emerald mark was the scene outside the mine.
A huge bottomless pit.
"Oh my goodness, are you really planning to start an industrial revolution~"
Looking at the scene outside the mine, Bai Qi opened his mouth in surprise.
The walls around the huge pit are covered with pits, and passages are winding up. There are also metal stairs connecting each other in the cave. From a distance, it looks like some monster's lair.
The mine tunnel where Bai Qi and his companions are now located is at the top of this huge mine cave. Except for a few humans and ferocious beasts that occasionally pass by here, it is almost deserted.
"With such a large hole dug, the amount of metal mined must be quite a lot. What are you going to do with it?"
Bai Qi continued to look down along the jade mark and saw that there was a full set of smelting equipment in the mine, but not even a single ore was being transported upwards. Instead, it was being transported downwards.
"Have they all been sent to the bottom of the mine?"
Bai Qi nodded slightly, but suddenly heard some noise and immediately restrained his breath.
Not far from the exit of their mine, two humans in short clothes were leisurely walking out of the mine.
"Did you see it just now? Lord Black Dragon's majestic and heroic figure is truly unforgettable ."
"Don't even think about it. We are just vassals of the Black Dragon Tribe. If it weren't for the fact that the Diyou Armored Beast is a natural miner, it wouldn't be our Diyou Tribe's turn."
"That's true, but now we are connected to the Black Dragon Tribe. Although it's a bit hard, it's much better than the precarious life in the past."
"Nonsense, the tribe has always been like this, the strong are respected. Every year, countless tribes disappear and are born. If we didn't rely on powerful tribes like the Black Dragon Tribe, we would have failed long ago."
“Hahaha… Let’s go and see how those low-level servants are doing. The black-robed men brought by Lord Black Dragon are still waiting.”
"Well, we have to hurry up."
The two continued to move forward, but when they passed a mine exit, they suddenly felt their feet sink and then they fell in.
Inside the mine tunnel.
The two beast soul masters looked at Bai Qi and Nicholas in front of them in horror. They wanted to speak, but no sound came out.
"Jerry, have you cut off their mental connection with the outside world?"
"Don't worry, they can't contact the outside world for the time being."
"That's good."
Bai Qi nodded, looked at the two of them, and said, "I will ask a question later, and you answer it. Do you understand?"
The two nodded repeatedly. As the soul masters of the Earth-roaming Armored Beast, they had inherited its timid character. Facing Bai Qi, whose aura far surpassed theirs, they had no intention of resisting at all.
"The Lord Black Dragon you just mentioned, is he the demigod black dragon from the Black Dragon Tribe?"
The two nodded, very well behaved.
Bai Qi nodded slightly when he saw this, and continued to ask: "He has left now, will he be back in the short time?"
The two men shook their heads so fast that they almost bumped into their companions.
"Very good, now I allow one of you to speak. If you dare to shout, you know the consequences~"
As he spoke, Bai Qi released the restraints on one of them, knocked out another, and asked, "What is the purpose of the black dragon coming here? Also, what are you mining here? Tell me everything in detail."
Hearing Bai Qi's series of questions, the man was stunned, but after seeing Bai Qi's impatient look, he immediately spoke out everything he knew like a machine gun.
Afterwards, Bai Qi woke up the other person and asked the same question again, and the answer was exactly the same.
"Beastmaster, they didn't lie."
Jerry left the two people and said.
"Yeah, I can see that."
Bai Qi nodded, asked some other questions, and immediately summoned Cordyceps to cover the memories of the two. Looking at the huge hole outside the emerald mark, his eyes became deeper and deeper.
The black-robed human from the Federation...
