292 Chapter 251: Hatched Sandworms

Richard wouldn't know the underworld's reaction to the news of his hero recruitment.

He went to bed early after he got tired the whole day.

Sel woke Richard up the next day after a night's rest.

There was still day and night even though the sun didn't shine in the underground world…

Every twelve hours, the mosses that emitted light in the sky would automatically lower their brightness.

Although the changes seemed small to outsiders, it was like night for the underground life forms.

Sel Bloodhoof got down to business after Richard had his breakfast.

"Vice-President Richard, you said you're buying carcasses too?"

Richard's eyes brightened.

"Of course, I won't refuse anyone."

Sel immediately smiled.

During this period, the troop hunted and obtained several corpses.

They kept them in the south of the city...

Richard was interested.

"Sel, can you take me there? I'll buy everything as long as it's suitable."

The god's ancient tree could devour corpses to become stronger and breed venomous wasps.

The Twilight City could use the two A-rank heroes, Gunter and Gray, to recruit mummies…

Corpses were supremely indispensable strategic resources to Twilight City.

It was what Sel wanted to hear. Without further ado, he turned around and led the way.

Richard walked out of the mansion and looked around curiously.

It was the first time he strolled through the streets of Bloodhoof City.

The last time he came, he was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention.

The buildings in the underground world had a completely different style from those on the surface.

The houses on both sides of the street were built with stones and were as strong as fortresses. Even a trebuchet could not collapse them.

The house roof had a sturdy and fantastical style–it was as small as a cone with an arc. And the sharp edge was even made of steel.

It reflected a cold glint.

It was not a roof to shelter them from the rain. But a weapon to defend against enemy invasion.

Several houses were connected. They stood upright like canine teeth, long and sharp.

The residents on the streets could avoid the attack of diving enemies from the sky. They just have to hide in the alleys or houses.

Moreover, these buildings had caved-in bunkers. So they could avoid the sharp arrows from the sky even if they didn't enter the houses.

These bunkers could become fortifications if an enemy attacked the city.

These buildings had considered almost all possibilities.

It designed everything for war.

It intrigued Richard.

No one would wonder if the gray-colored dwarves would dismantle the giant alchemy cannons used to defend the city and launch attacks on these buildings.

They could achieve much if they had ten times more troops than Bloodhoof City.

While Richard looked at the unique style of the underground city with interest, the crowd also sized him up.

Sel led them, and they were indeed striking.

Richard's aura was similar to that of the underworld creatures. It made him the center of attention.

Those who had finished their trade with Bloodhoof City but had yet to leave were all very curious.

"That human is the lord of the surface whom the gray-colored dwarves offered a reward of tens of millions of units?

"One's strength must be supremely terrifying for the gray-colored dwarves to value them..."

"Have you heard? That human overlord is recruiting heroes. He will bring you back to the surface if he takes to fancy you... That's the surface, safe, rich, and full of life."

"Hmph, it's just a rumor. Why would the humans be willing to recruit the heroes of our dungeon tribe? Is he not afraid of death?"

"What do you know! Did you see the undead dragon that he brought? That human overlord isn't an ordinary person. I heard that the last time he came, he brought several mummies that could accommodate the undead. Why would he be afraid of us, the dungeon race?"

"This... That's true, but who knows what will happen to us if we go to the surface? What if the other party wants to murder..."

"Idiot! How powerful is that surface lord? Did he spend so much effort recruiting heroes just to murder them? What was his purpose in doing this? Can't you use your brain to think?"

They continued to compete for insights,

The people around them discussed all sorts of things. The surface was just as mysterious and alluring as the underground world.

However, with the terrifying existence of Sel Bloodhoof that accompanied them, no one dared to step forward. They could only look at him carefully.

Several people paid attention to Richard, so he didn't mind.

On the way, he communicated with Sel as he walked.

"Sel, our deal should not be limited to weapons and equipment.

"We can trade things like god-given items or soldier lairs.

"Especially God-bestowed items. As long as I'm satisfied, I'm willing to spend a lot of money to buy them."

Sel nodded with a smile.

"I'll immediately send this news out... I believe powers will be satisfied with this."

As a middleman, the uttermost Richard's range of business, the more resources he could trade.

The more benefits he could obtain, the more he was to cooperate.

After a brief discussion, the guards escorted the two. They went to the city's west side–the warehouse where they stored the monster corpses.

Tons of crisp grass lay on the corpses piled into a small mountain.

Richard did remember the grass. It was a specialty of the underground world. And could keep corpses from rotting.

It also had a special name-flowing light grass.

The monsters' corpses were faintly visible among the grass. From the outside, the exposed and hideous wounds were particularly terrifying.

"This is the monster we hunted."

Sel smelled the stench in the air. Disgust filled his eyes.

These underground monsters were poisonous and inedible, and he was annoyed.

He wouldn't even look at it if it weren't for the food he could get from Richard.

They gained enormously from killing these monsters. Some were also very ferocious, which would inadvertently cause several casualties.

The gains did not make up for the losses of long-term hunting.

If not for Bloodhoof City's lack of food, he would not be willing to do this business.

Richard looked at them with great interest. The average level of these monsters was around level 10.

And the number of them was uncountable.

It was a pity he did not let Gray and Gunter follow him this time. So he could not directly recruit mummies.

'Pull him back?'

He gave up the thought the moment it came to mind.

There were too many. And it was a waste of time. It was more in line with the plan to exchange for resources.

He had the soldiers around him count the number of monsters without hesitation and put the monster corpses into the market to sell.

These days, as the instance dungeon's opening time approached, the price of high-level corpses had also increased.

The undead was a large faction, and the number of players was in the billions.

Furthermore, the undead did not need any supplies. So they could have an unlimited number of soldiers.

Therefore, there was no such thing as market saturation.

After they hung the corpses in the market' these filled the warehouse and were quickly sold out.

When the players saw that it was Qingqiu who sold, envy, jealousy, and hatred filled their hearts. Many even cursed at the pervert.

However, the players started to get numb to Richard's actions. And their reactions weren't as exaggerated as before.

But this time, the anti-Qingqiu Alliance on the forums became even more active. The players who were involved all spoke up. They said they must punish this b*stard in the dungeon.

There were even many who left messages. They asked them to search for Qingqiu's territory in the main plane... Of course, some of the more rational ones didn't follow, as they didn't want to die.

That was Qingqiu. They could just talk a little, but if they did it, everyone would panic.

The sale of the monsters 'corpses and the payment for Bloodhoof City had earned Richard a net profit of three million units of resources.

In addition to the previous 37 million, he had earned an unprecedented 40 million units in the underground world.

The string of zeros on Richard's attribute panel dazzled him.

It meant he could directly nurture eight lairs' glorious-level troops.

Even among the NPC forces, a glorious-level troop class was considered the backbone of the force.

This trip to the underground world was purely to rob money. No, it couldn't be so fast to rob.

More importantly, such transactions could continue in the future.

He could obtain endless wealth as long as he could continue to control the underground.

With this in mind, he couldn't help but think about the entrance to the surface.

It was like he had to find time to seal off the entrance.

This underground world could only be his personal property. No one could touch it.

Richard was in high spirits after the deal.

The next step was to return to Twilight City and invest these resources in the territory's construction.

It was so comfortable.

When the soldier closed the warehouse door again, Richard looked at the flowing light grass and suddenly thought of the magic plant that Sel had used to preserve the extraordinary black dragon's corpse.

"Sel, can you give me some that can create ice? It is tremendously hot in Twilight City...

"That magical plant was a natural refrigerator. Wouldn't it be nice to bring it back and make some iced desserts?"

Sel didn't care much about such a small matter and said straightforwardly.

"I'll immediately have someone dig out 200 of them and give them to you,"

Richard chuckled. It was the kind of person he liked. He was about to say something when a system notification rang in his ear.

[Ding~ The sandworms you placed in the backyard of the Lord's mansion have successfully hatched, please feed them in time.]

[Ding~ An atavism body has appeared in the hatched sandworm. The successful atavism is a void sandworm. Please take care of it.]

Richard looked at the system notification again. And his face lit up with surprise.

Has the sandworm finally hatched after a month of incubation?

The sandworm with the void bloodline was also born ...

Could he start his super transportation plan?

He became excited when he thought of those giant creatures over 100 meters long.
