I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 396. Flowers in the Core Area

The core area of ​​Dongsheng Fortress is a giant birdcage.

Or rather, it looks like a birdcage.

It stands majestically between heaven and earth, woven from countless withered yellow branches in a haphazard manner.

Looking through the layers of dense branches, one sees a vast expanse of barren, scorched yellow land.

On the ground, there was a withered giant flower, as tall as a three-story building, but without petals. Its pistil was grayish-yellow and withered, and its roots were pitted and uneven as if they had been eaten by insects, making it very ugly.

Beyond this giant flower, there is a huge transparent glass dome, with intricate gold patterns appearing and flowing on the glass.

Outside the glass dome, a black bead floated in the air, inside which a blood-red eyeball rolled and emitted a hoarse, low laugh.
"Humans, this Origin Flower is already exhausted and withered. Even if you keep nourishing it with Origin Water, it will be of no use. So why not give it to me as a favor?"

Behind the black bead was a starry sky constructed of spiritual particles. A middle-aged man dressed in a deep red tuxedo stood in the vast sea of ​​spiritual particles, with a faint golden light emanating from between his brows, constantly connecting with the surrounding spiritual particles.

He is condensing his original fruition and ascending to the Venerable One level!
However, becoming a Venerable One is not so easy; it will take time. He slowly opened his eyes, his smile gentle and polite.
"Lord Shouling, if you were a Seven-Eyed Saint King, this so-called favor would have value. Unfortunately, you are not."

The blood-red eyeball in the black bead flickered. This bead could only provide vision for the Great Calamity of Longevity and did not possess any other abilities, so even if the Great Calamity of Longevity was dissatisfied, there was nothing it could do.

A hoarse voice came from the bead:
"So, since you, human, have chosen to cooperate with me, why not deepen our cooperation and help me complete my transformation and ascend to the throne of the Holy King?"

"After all, humans and the Nightmare race should never be enemies. Mutual benefit and win-win cooperation are more conducive to the development of the race, aren't they?"

Upon hearing Shouling Da'e's words, Ye Lihelian narrowed his deep eyes slightly, smiled faintly, and remained silent. He did indeed have the ability to help this Nightmare Clan member successfully advance, but the cost would be too great, far beyond what he could afford.

Of course, even if he could bear it, he couldn't possibly help this great calamity.

"Lord Shouling, our deal is limited to you helping me slaughter the city, and I will give you the Calamity Pearl. I hope you will be satisfied and keep your promise."

"Heh, humans, the credibility of our Nightmare race is far higher than that of you humans."

Shouling chuckled softly, his blood-red eyes darting around as he looked out of the birdcage: "However, when do you intend to hand over the Calamity Spirit Pearl to me?"

"Recently, Dongsheng Fortress has been targeted by two rats. To prevent potential enemy invasion, we will need to use the Evil Spirit Orb for a while."

The middle-aged man said calmly, "Once this matter is settled, all the Calamity Pearls in the fortress will naturally be handed over to you."

To ensure absolute safety, he used a large number of Calamity Orbs to set up a Calamity Barrier outside the core area.

After all, when dealing with humans, Evil is always the best means of attack and defense.

News has come from the residential area that the two rats still haven't been found. They seem to have vanished completely, which is very strange, and no amount of investigation has been effective.

The think tank analyzed that the two rats either had escaped the fortress or had infiltrated the military zone through some means.

As for what means or channels might be involved, Ye Lihelian could only think of his foolish and stubborn young stepmother, Freya.

However, according to the test information reported by the female soldiers and the monitoring information from various parties, no abnormalities were found.

But it's nothing serious now.

In his view, even if those two little mice really did sneak into the military zone, it would be no different from walking into a trap.

The military zone's 7,000 troops are sufficient to protect the entire fortress!

Of the 7,000 troops, 4500 are soldiers and 500 are military commanders, including three level 5 commander squads capable of constructing A-grade spirit garments, and a powerful spirit weapon squad of 40 elite soldiers. In addition, there is the most powerful trump card: a terrifying legion of 2000 half-dragons.

In addition to these troops, there are various fortress facilities and spiritual weapons.

With the defensive network constructed by the Calamity Orb, if the two rats were to enter the military zone, their best option would be to continue hiding; otherwise, once exposed, they would have no chance of returning.

As Ye Lihelian pondered, he looked up, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through countless spaces, pass through the Dongsheng Fortress, pass through the suburban forest, and arrive above the bustling Helian City.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Alright, Lord Shouling, proceed with the plan and have your people enter the designated district. Begin the massacre!"

The previous cooperation with the Burning Heaven Temple was unexpectedly interrupted. Those foolish evil cultists were extremely unreliable. This time, there shouldn't be any problems.

Freya followed the officer to the central laboratory.

The dozen or so people in white coats who had previously watched the veterans' souls turn into the Wangsheng Stone on the high platform had now also arrived at the central laboratory.

According to the nameplates on their chests and collars, these people in white coats are the higher-ups at this experimental base.

Mu Qingtong and Xia Feng didn't give these people time to think. After transforming back into human form, they used mind control and Blood Shadow to slaughter them all.

Including the man in the white coat who had been sitting opposite the veteran, all the men in white coats, with empty eyes, fell to the ground one after another without a sound.

Xia Feng quickly took over the underground base and arrived at the half-dragon hibernation hall.

Two thousand half-dragons slumbered in hibernation pods, row after row. Xia Feng appeared in front of a female half-dragon whose face was mostly covered by crimson dragon scales.

After careful observation, her appearance did indeed resemble that of the daughter in the photo given by Lee Jae-suk.

This half-dragon is Li Zaixin!

Based on the process of the veteran turning into the Wangsheng Stone that he had just witnessed, Xia Feng quickly understood why this group of people had turned Li Zaixin into a half-dragon.

It was to send Lee Jae-shin to the battlefield, to fight against the veterans of Baidi City, and to fight against her father, Lee Jae-seok.

Xia Feng surveyed the surrounding legion of half-dragons, wondering how many of them were family members of the veterans from White Emperor City.
Unfortunately, their memories were all erased. Even Lee Jae-shin didn't remember Lee Jae-seok. After waking up, he just glared at Xia Feng with his bewitching vertical pupils.

Without special means to control them, these awakened half-dragons could easily get out of control.

Without hesitation, Xia Feng unleashed the Dragon God's True Name to intimidate, and then used the Pale Contract Seal to completely subdue the frenzied, roaring half-dragons.

[Current number of contract seals: 2498/3000]

The number of half-dragons in the Li Dong Legion is definitely more than that. According to Teacher Fu, there are more than 30,000 half-dragons who have been successfully tested in the Dong Sheng Fortress alone in recent years.

Many of the half-dragons died for various reasons, but more than 10,000 survived and are now assigned to various military units to carry out missions.

Yes, as a loyal follower of the Dragon God, he has a responsibility to gather these Dragon God's people who have been left behind!

But not before that.

Xia Feng looked up towards the core area, swallowed hard, and felt his heart pounding more and more violently, almost uncontrollably.
