Chapter 276: Chapter 168: Ruijia’s Crisis of Nation Destruction (3)
"Sorry, but I’m going to be a little reckless."
With that, Iz didn’t wait for Lu Cang or Kumironi to say a word before heading straight inside.
The corner of Lu Cang’s mouth twitched.
’Sigh... with Iz’s power, I guess there’s really nothing I can say.’
’A Level 6 Iz entering a Tier Six Dungeon.’
’It’s probably like me at Level 3 entering a Tier Three Dungeon.’
’If the current me still needed a whole entourage to enter a Tier Three Dungeon, I’d laugh at myself for being pathetic...’
’Besides, this Dungeon’s difficulty hasn’t been increased through Sacrifice.’
Kumironi shrugged helplessly and followed Iz inside.
Lu Cang thought for a moment...
’Might as well follow them in and take a look.’
As soon as he entered the Dungeon, he saw a field of corpses still evaporating...
’They didn’t turn to pure ash. Looks like he held back.’
He extended his Perception inward.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Deafening explosions echoed from ahead. This was a vast Forest.
But Lu Cang could see the Elements erupting with his own eyes!
Rising into the sky, all he could see ahead were massive craters, one after another.
Before long, a streak of light shot toward him.
Iz appeared back in front of him.
"Haha! It really is a Tier Six Dungeon!"
"It’s a shame, though. The Dungeon’s final Guardian was just a King Level Demon... only a little stronger than an ordinary one."
"What a waste."
’King Level? That is weak.’
’It seems Dungeons formed by the "Source of Disaster" are only useful after a Sacrifice.’
"Hmm... let’s stop exploring here for now."
"We’ll have plenty of time to explore it properly after we get back."
Lu Cang nodded.
The three of them turned and left. Having lost its final Guardian, the Dungeon began to crumble into dust.
After leaving the Dungeon, Lu Cang recalled all his Undead into the vast Little Nether Realm...
The trio started heading back the way they came.
However, they had barely taken flight when Iz stopped again.
"Is another Demon tide invading?" Lu Cang asked.
Iz nodded slightly.
His gaze shifted to the distance. "And it’s not a small one."
"That’s the direction of Ruijia’s territory."
"The scale of this Demon tide..."
"Let’s go take a look."
With that, Iz turned and shot off in that direction, accelerating rapidly!
In just a few moments, the scenery before them blurred and shifted.
When they came to a halt, Lu Cang saw Demons swarming over the mountains and plains. From thousands of meters up in the air, his naked eye could see nothing but a roiling sea of Demons!
In the distance stood dozens of cities.
Lu Cang scanned the surrounding terrain and, recalling the map of the Ruelun Continent he had seen, was able to make a rough deduction...
The cities over there were all part of Ruijia’s territory.
Ruijia was suffering a massive Demon invasion.
"The scale of this Demon tide..." Lu Cang frowned, raising a hand to gauge the distance.
From the southern horizon to the northern one, as far as the eye could see.
Everything was shrouded in Demons.
It was an immense distance, spanning thousands, nearly ten thousand kilometers...
’If only Lu Luwei were here. She could have determined the precise scale of this Demon tide, instead of me having to guess like this.’
"Can Ruijia hold out?"
’Ruijia has three Level 6 Reincarnators. Judging by the power of the Level 6 Reincarnators I’ve seen, this horde is terrifying, but they shouldn’t be completely powerless against it.’
However, Iz gave an incredibly certain answer.
"They can’t."
"These Demons are organized."
"What’s more, there are Tier Six Demons among them..."
"This is a premeditated Nest invasion."
Lu Cang narrowed his eyes, gazing down below.
From this high up, his Perception Range was only about two hundred kilometers. With his naked eye alone, Lu Cang couldn’t possibly tell how many powerful Demons were in such a massive legion.
Iz sighed softly. "If no one intervenes, Ruijia will be destroyed."
Hearing Iz’s remark, Lu Cang was stunned.
’I never would have thought...’
’Just when Lorren and Ruijia were locked in a bitter struggle for continental supremacy, with the victor still unknown...’
’The mighty Ruijia was about to be wiped out by Demons?’
In that instant, his mind flashed back to all the kingdoms, towns, and villages, large and small, that he had seen annihilated by Demons on his journey.
’This world was far more dangerous than I had imagined.’
’Demons weren’t just materials to be farmed, like fish on a chopping block.’
’They were a genuine threat, capable of destroying nations and upending the balance of the entire continent.’
