Chapter 1389: Chapter 1293: The Divine Beast Hellhound Delivering a Feast
——System Prompt: The Sain Lamp God Freight Space of your Flying has received the large item "Sandworm Mining Machine" from Elda in the Exile Lands. Please check it out.
After a massive flash of Demon Light, the long-awaited Sandworm Mining Machine finally arrived for Da Fei. It’s here, great! There’s really nothing that can’t be done, only things that can’t be thought of!
Feeling mixed emotions, Da Fei began to check the machine’s attributes. Indeed, two equipment slots were added, and there were actually two additional drill bits!
——Auxiliary Diamond Drill: A-Level War Machine, increases mining efficiency by 10%, adds 100 points of siege damage, durability of 100,000.
So that’s what the drill bit is, and it actually comes with an attack! But what’s with this durability? Could it be a one-time consumable? But it doesn’t matter; war machines have durability. So there’s nothing else to say, let’s get started!
Thus, under the transport of the Angel Army, this long-awaited big worm finally landed in a blaze of light and then rumbled into the mining area. In the next moment, the piercing sound of drilling filled the underground space, and to Da Fei’s ears, it became the most beautiful music. How satisfying!
As the commander, Da Fei couldn’t easily leave the front line to check on the mining effects, but judging from the traffic flow of the mining transport team, Da Fei knew that the mining workers had turned into transport workers, and productivity was finally liberated! And the next moment would be to turn the transport workers into body-carriers, haha, wahahaha!
Just then, Da Fei’s phone rang, it had to be Little Li. Da Fei quickly answered, feeling immensely relieved, "Little Li, I received it."
Little Li chuckled dryly, "As long as you received it, but agreeing with Fleeting Blossom wasn’t easy."
Da Fei hurriedly asked, "I heard from my NPC that she took on a business beyond her level. There should be additional conditions from Mage City, right?"
Little Li laughed, "Yes, it seems to be a task about the Time King and the other six city lords exploring the desert ruins city Kynos. It’s said to be super hard, and it’s a time-limited game quest of three months. With her combat power, there’s no hope; she can only rely on you to take her when you return, or else she’ll be done for."
Explore Kynos? Da Fei suddenly remembered that he had taken on such a task, so he quickly opened the task list to check and found it, "Investigation of the Time City Kynos Ruins"!
——Task Hint: In Creation Era Year -54, the seven leaders of the Seven Cities Alliance, Grand Mage, Time King Temokhan, Elemental Lord Zesier, Master of Destruction Fayiz, Wind Speaker Horra, Storm King Magnus, Dragon Slayer Deken, and Great Sage Cyrus collaborated to build an experimental city Kynos in a mysterious area of the desert to explore the mysteries of time and attempt to reverse time. The experiment failed, and a large number of monsters were born from the time rift, rendering the city desolate and perilous. Your task is to search for all the information you deem valuable. (Note: Chapter 619 ’All Implemented Sleep Peacefully’)
I see! But my task has no time limit. Da Fei laughed, "Actually, I also have this task, just haven’t had the time to do it. Tell her not to worry. When I return to the country, we’ll do it together. Also, thanks for her additional equipment, I’ll compensate her when I get back."
Little Li said happily, "Okay, I’ll tell her right away. Take your time, bro!"
"Okay!"
Little Li hung up the phone and let out a deep sigh of relief. Now, she’s solved the problem for her older brother at all costs—of course, without the god-like backing of her brother, Little Li wouldn’t dare take on such a daunting task, nor would she dare to add equipment to the machine, all of which was mortgaged with Little Fang’s farm and shares in the Canal Company. How is she going to explain this to Little Fang?
While feeling anxious, the alarm clock rang, then Little Fang’s drowsy voice came from the bedroom, "Wifey, I’m hungry, I want to eat!"
Little Li coughed and shouted towards the bedroom, "Uh, I’m cooking in the kitchen right now. By the way, I didn’t wake you because you were sleeping soundly. Da Fei sent an NPC to retrieve the machine, it was very urgent, so I returned the machine."
Little Fang abruptly woke up, "Returned the machine? The Sandworm Mining Machine? Oh no! I was just about to rely on it to drill through Duke William’s tunnel! Right, he’s already in a cross-region national war, how did you even return it?"
Little Li sighed, "Well, it’s a long story. Da Fei’s NPC is really capable..."
Then, a scream came from the bedroom, "Ah!!! Why am I a red name? Everyone around me is a red name!"
Little Li could only chuckle, "Calm down! This is Red Name Village."
Then another scream, "Oh my god, wifey! What task did you accept?"
Little Li said calmly, "The same task as Da Fei! Um, as the NPC said, in any case, with Da Fei covering the task, nothing is a problem! I’ve made your favorite tomato egg soup, hurry up, hurry up!"
Little Fang’s tearful voice came from the bedroom, "Don’t call me yet, I want to be quiet—don’t ask who Quiet is!"
Little Li laughed, "Alright, just think about your Quiet."
However, the trees long for peace but the wind won’t stop! At this moment, the newly logged in Fleeting Blossom faced the international red name audience and questioning, and a deep malice arose, "That’s right, I’m going to do a big project, really, really big, beyond your imagination!"
Red Name Village exploded with turmoil because of this statement! The reds from all countries, having gained such important information, pressed on with more questions, "So how did Lady Lord manage to get such a large item here?"
Little Fang, who was just getting used to the pit, couldn’t wait for more people to fall in: "Ask the Seven Cities Alliance of your country, they will make all your dreams come true like Doraemon!"
Everyone suddenly realized, indeed! Only those high-and-mighty, self-proclaimed Grand Mages of the Seven Cities Alliance have the capability! However—
The group still questioned, "Why would you say something so important?"
Little Fang retorted, "Why would you ask about something so important?"
The crowd was taken aback, saying, "We never expected you would say it!"
Little Fang sighed, "Even if I don’t say it, can’t you guess it with your intelligence?"
The group suddenly realized, "That’s true..."
...
Underground in the mine, Da Fei was immersed in the delightful music of the drilling machine, unable to extricate himself. With the liberation of productivity, the rear mine freed up 600 mining Evil Demons, among which 400 were specifically stationed in the Holy Vine’s digestive space to help dispose of corpses, and another 200 were responsible for transporting bodies.
Under the digestion of 400 Evil Demons, the corpses of low-level cannon fodder thrown in just ten seconds ago were reduced to a puddle of red glowing blood and energy absorbed by the Holy Vine.
At this moment, the supply of flesh and blood couldn’t keep up with the pace of the Holy Vine’s absorption. Da Fei started to feel discontent with the enemy continually sending low-level troops as fodder and desperately hoped for the enemy to send a more exquisite feast, like Great Demons or something.
However, the Great Demon, a troop type capable of instant teleportation, could become rather troublesome if they were to flit about the field, possibly harassing mining operations at the rear of the mine. In any case, let’s not have the Great Demon come just yet, or at least wait until the mining is completed. With the current ultra-liberated power of the Sandworm Mining Machine, it wouldn’t take long to deplete the several tens of thousands reserves of minerals, just like when he felled tens of thousands of units of wood from the Black Forest back then, not to mention the two extra drill bits that increased efficiency by 20%.
Perhaps the enemy was also tired of the onslaught of cannon fodder, or the existence of the mining machine alerted the enemy to something unusual; finally, a giant red dot blocking the entire passage appeared on the radar behind the cannon fodder stream, and then a faint roaring sound could be heard from the passage!
Da Fei’s brow twitched, "The grand feast has arrived!"
And at this moment, Shadow Witch Shiva hurriedly approached Da Fei, "Master, it’s the hero Hellhound Master Glaure; his mount is the Hellfire Dog Cerberus, rumored to be a descendant of the underworld gatekeeper dog of Nether God Hades, extremely powerful. There is also a flame cannon personally operated by Glaure on its back; with the attribute of your wooden war ancient tree, it wouldn’t be able to match the Hellhound’s firepower. We suggest activating the trap to destroy the passage and bury the enemy!"
Da Fei’s expression changed; a Hellhound with a known name; damn, it was a Divine Beast! And it even had a cannon on its back! Very well, consuming a Divine Beast far surpasses eating tens of thousands of cannon fodder; it deserves my big move!
Da Fei readily agreed, "Okay, wait for it to get a little closer before destroying the passage! This way, it would be convenient for our army to dig through the collapsed rocks and consume its corpse."
Shiva stated solemnly, "We’ve long been prepared, awaiting only the master’s command!"
Da Fei replied with satisfaction, "Great!"
At this point, Nasir’s voice echoed gently from the front, "Is it my fault even as a piece of wood?"
Da Fei couldn’t help but sigh internally, even the Flying is made of wood; is that a fault, much less you!
Nearer and nearer, Da Fei could already see the roaring flames at the end of the passage. Very well, it’s time!
Da Fei waved grandly, "Activate the trap!"
The next moment, the ground shook violently, the whole cavern filled with dust, and then a rumbling noise echoed from the tunnel—BOOM BOOM!!! In that instant, the radar turned completely black, and the endless charge of the Hell Army was finally blocked.
As the rumbling gradually stopped and the dust settled, Da Fei felt uneasy looking at the blackout on the radar! Could it have ended just like that? If a mere cave-in could take down a Divine Beast, then this Divine Beast would be too weak; it would be a waste of my big move!
And at that moment, the ground shook slightly, and a red flash appeared on Da Fei’s radar again!
——System Prompt: Warning! Your Master-level Sentinel has discovered a powerful enemy approaching through Auditory Tracking!
Not dead! Da Fei felt a mix of worries and joy!
Joy because it was indeed a Divine Beast, worthy of my big move for a grand feast. Worry because hopefully, it’s not too overwhelming; I hope I can take it down effortlessly!
And at this moment, Shiva’s voice rang out, "Master, even if the Hellhound crawls out of the collapse, it must have expended much stamina; we will do our utmost to annihilate it!"
Da Fei’s spirit was lifted; that’s right, even NPCs know to finish it off, how could I be less competent than NPCs? But after all, it is a Divine Beast; relying on conventional troops evidently won’t suffice. Da Fei suddenly remembered something and hastily summoned Tamilia, "There’s a very delicate task I hope you can accomplish!"
