248 Trail of the Venomous Bees
Xu Yuan, who had upgraded to Level 69, exuded a very powerful aura that shrouded his whole frame and fanned out.
The actions of the Light-Types made him very unhappy. In his first life as a human, Xu Yuan encountered many powerful people who had made his life hell. They had treated him like s*it.
Even after transmigrating to the Dark Demon Dragon’s body, there were still people who interfered in his life. He didn’t understand why. He hadn’t done anything to anybody.
Su Wan felt his dark emotions. The dark energy enveloped her.
!!
The other troops were also encased in this dark energy. The pure dark aura helped their injured bodies.
The nine-headed Hydra, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon, the White Dragon Saint, and the Third Prince of the Elves all looked at Xu Yuan in awe. Following the Dark Demon Dragon had been the wisest choice they had ever made! They almost knelt on the floor in worship.
His anger was palpable. The aura had activated his ability and strengthened those around him.
Su Wan’s mouth fell open in awe. She didn’t know what to say.
She had seen his attribute panel. The Constitution was almost 4000! She didn’t know what else to expect from him.
“Don’t you know me by now?” Xu Yuan smiled at the dumbstruck Su Wan. “Why do you look so surprised?”
Su Wan regained her composure. She felt some sort of power surge through her body. She jumped up happily and patted the dragon on his head.
“I don’t think I should underestimate you from now on,” said Su Wan. “Can you help me to level up as well so I can reach your level?”
Xu Yuan was speechless. If he helped everyone reach his level, why would anyone ever need to think of ways to upgrade their territory and get stronger? Everything would be meaningless.
“Just hurry and upgrade your Territory Core. The more you upgrade, the stronger you will get.”
“What benefits can I get when my Territory Core reaches Level 4?” Su Wan asked.
“That is always a surprise. Can’t find out until you upgrade,” said Xu Yuan mysteriously.
He wouldn’t tell her even if he knew about the benefits. Not knowing also held its perks. If Su Wan didn’t know about the exact benefits of leveling up, she would be even more motivated to find out.
Su Wan was curious to find out, but she also knew that she was nothing more than a tool for Xu Yuan. She sighed. “I am afraid I am much too tired.”
“Let’s deal with the Night Devil Bees first!” said Su Wan. She wanted to take the initiative to lead an expedition since she was the Lord of the territory.
The requirements to upgrade the Territory Core to Level 4 were difficult to meet. It would take a long time.
Scarlen was still in a daze. He couldn’t believe that Xu Yuan and Su Wan really were going to take revenge for the ordinary, low-level troops.
He had a deep admiration for both of them. Even as the Third Prince of the Elves, Scarlen hadn’t cared about them much. He would let his troops fight and die without feeling any sort of emotion.
However, Lord Su Wan and Xu Yuan were different. They cared for their troops as their own children.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuan was thinking about the lair of the Night Devil Bees. Could they be used as extensions of their territory?
He didn’t know what the Light-Types were plotting. If they had another location as a backup, they could turn it into their territory and use it.
“My Lord, the troops have been assembled.” The Red-Eyed Black Dragon sounded humble.
He hadn’t expected Su Wan to care for her troops so much. She even wanted to take revenge for them. The Red-Eyed Black Dragon respected her now. He had no problem following such a strong and compassionate person.
Xu Yuan and Su Wan, unknowingly, had strengthened the loyalty of the troops.
“Should I also ask Shi Linglong and the others for help?” Su Wan asked Xu Yuan as she looked at the troops who had gathered.
If it were just the Night Devil Bees, she wouldn’t involve her friends. However, she was afraid it must be a trap, and they would fall into it like those two Night Elves who had died.
“I will handle it,” said Xu Yuan. “If it turns out to be something I can’t deal with, then you can call them for help.”
Xu Yuan knew that Shi Linglong, Zhao Qingrong, and Lin Yao were best friends of Su Wan. They were loyal, but they weren’t as strong. He also knew that the Light-Types were targeting him, so he didn’t want to put Su Wan’s friends in danger. If necessary, they could support him from a distance.
Su Wan nodded and messaged her friends to be on standby.
Shi Linglong, Zhao Qingrong, and Lin Yao were more than willing to help if need be.
“Lord Xu Yuan and Su Wan are going to take revenge for the Night Elves?” asked the Flower Fairy, Ofunai.
That left a deep impression on her heart. Xu Yuan and Su Wan were indeed compassionate.
The Dark Demon Dragon was so noble. He was willing to go to such lengths to protect his subjects. She respected him even more now.
…
Su Wan led the troops and set off. Their goal was to subdue the Night Devil bees.
After a three-hour journey into the desert and exterminating seven low-level creatures, Su Wan was exhausted. She had second thoughts about this mission. She wanted to return to her territory, eat some good food, and sleep.
They were very far from the place where the incident had taken place. Two Night Elves who were scouting ahead returned to the group.
“My Lord, we’ve discovered the trail of the venomous Night Devil Bees,” they reported.
Su Wan’s spirit was roused. Her fatigue disappeared.
The nine-headed Hydra would be at the vanguard. The Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the White Dragon Saint would support the Hydra from each side.
As they advanced into the forest, they were on high alert.
The forest was dense. Even the sunlight couldn’t penetrate through the thick foliage.
All sorts of flowers bloomed in the forest. There were many Night Devil bees buzzing around them. A crack in the void could be seen just above the forest.
Su Wan activated the True Eye of the Demon Dragon. As expected, the crack in the void was a Level 60 realm.
“Come on, it’s time for you to act like a Lord,” said Xu Yuan through their shared communication. He shared the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing and Dragon’s Will abilities with Su Wan. She cast the abilities on the nine-headed Hydra, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon, and the White Dragon Saint.
