Chapter 137 Divine Creatures, Surrenders and Competitors

Kasham is more like a stone pillar full of holes and pits than a city-state.

The towering stone pillar, which is nearly 300 meters high, is dotted with holes, making it look like a large anthill, and the passages inside are even more complicated.

Except for insects that can communicate through pheromones, creatures of other species who enter will easily get lost in the maze-like insect nest.

In general, this is a battlefield that is very suitable for Zerg fighting.

It is precisely because of the home advantage that Kasham has remained undefeated for so many years.

"Ugo picked a good place."

Sunan looked at the stone pillar in front of him.

Unfortunately, this place is only suitable for insects to live in, and it is difficult to transform it after being dug into this state. It will not be of much use after being taken over, and it is estimated that it will be abandoned and vacant.

Unless he also cultivates a group of insects like Ugo.

Gathering his thoughts, Su Nan flew forward and entered the stone pillar.

After Ugo's death, the remaining insect swarm broke free from control, but still followed their instincts and returned to Kasham. When they saw an uninvited guest breaking in, they immediately hissed and attacked him.

The narrow tunnel was not suitable for golems to fight, so Sunan released nearly a hundred double-blade spiders, which spread out along the tunnel and began to clean up the remaining insects.

And he was looking for Ugo's laboratory.

An important place like the laboratory must be in the deepest part of Kasham.

It didn't take Sunan much effort to find the target.

At the very center of the stone pillar, a huge cave was divided and transformed into a series of areas including laboratories, meditation rooms, and spell practice rooms.

Su Nan searched carefully, and apart from finding a lot of wizard books in the study, he didn't find much valuable information elsewhere.

Finally, there is the laboratory.

Among all areas, the laboratory has the largest area.

In the middle were several large workbenches, one of which still had a lot of broken shells and dried mucus on it.

In the corner was a pile of insect eggs.

The fluorescent light coming down from the ceiling of the room shone through the pale white egg wall, and one could see some kind of creature trembling slightly inside.

Su Nan took a look at the insect eggs, then strode to the workbench. After searching for a while, he found an experimental notebook.

He immediately opened his notes and read them carefully on the spot.

As expected, most of the notes are about the cultivation and transformation of various insects and beasts.

Su Nan glanced over all the contents until he came across the content about the bell ringer. Only then did he slow down and read carefully.

As time passed, a look of surprise gradually appeared on Su Nan's face.

According to the description in the notes, the source of the ancient bloodline in the body of the Deathstroke Ringer is not only a powerful ancient beast, but also a rare divine creature.

There are generally three ways in which divine creatures are born.

The first is that the gods themselves separate a trace of divinity and integrate it into a certain organism, transforming it into a divine creature.

This is how the sacred beasts of many gods’ churches came about.

The second is totem worship.

In certain planes, some ignorant and backward tribes would regard totems, or objects such as trees and rocks as spiritual symbols. After years of worship and prayer, after thousands of years of accumulation, a trace of divine energy would gradually be born inside these objects, thus awakening their spiritual wisdom and turning them into divine creatures with self-awareness.

In fact, many gods originally grew from such divine creatures.

The third type is relatively the most special. They are born divine creatures that have a trace of divinity in their bodies since birth.

Moreover, this trace of divinity will be passed down through blood. As long as the blood concentration reaches a certain level, divinity can be awakened.

It’s just that the number of such divine creatures is extremely small, and because they lack ways to increase their divinity such as faith, the intensity of their divinity will not change much throughout their lives.

But even so, this divine creature is one of the most powerful among the many ancient beasts.

The source of the bloodline of the Deathstrokers is the third kind of divine creature.

"This guy is really lucky to have found this rare descendant of ancient bloodline."

Sunan sighed.

But now the treasure belongs to him.

After reading the notes, Sunan finally understood why Ugo controlled the swarm of insects to hunt everywhere.

The reason is still related to the bloodline of the bell ringer.

After integrating the blood of the Death Knell Ringer, Ugo's lifespan increased significantly, and preliminary estimates indicate it is no less than three hundred years.

The only problem is that you need to consume the flesh and blood essence of the Deathstroke Ringer regularly.

However, there was only one Deathstroke Ringer, which could not satisfy his food needs.

So Ugo came up with the idea of using quantity instead of quality. He extracted the blood of the death knell ringers and integrated it into the bodies of other insects. After multiple genetic modifications and screening, the death knell beetle insect race was born.

The death knell beetle originates from the death knell ringer, so its flesh and blood essence naturally has certain similarities. After being refined and concentrated, it can replace the flesh and blood essence of the death knell ringer.

It is in this way that Hugo has been able to survive until now.

Cultivating a large number of death knell beetles naturally requires a lot of food. Therefore, every once in a while, Ugo would send out a swarm of insects to hunt around until enough food was accumulated.

"Increasing lifespan through blood fusion has various drawbacks to a greater or lesser extent."

Sunan thought of Avigni, who had merged the blood of the blood soul worm.

He was killed by the blood soul worm bloodline.

Although the bloodline of the Deathstroker that Ugo fused with had relatively minor defects, the increased lifespan was also relatively small.

In general, the better the effect of a bloodline in increasing lifespan, the more serious its defects.

Of course there are exceptions.

But that kind of bloodline is very rare.

Sunan had no interest in fusing the bloodline of the Death Knell Ringer and just glanced over this part.

Even if he wanted to fuse bloodlines, he would have to wait until he was promoted to a formal wizard and found the right bloodline.

Before that, randomly fusing bloodlines will only make the future path narrower.

After reading the experimental notes, Sunan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Golem Corps suffered heavy losses in this war. A high-level stone golem and an elite double-blade spider were completely destroyed, and the Golem Corps suffered nearly one-third of its losses.

After final calculation, the loss was estimated to be nearly 180,000 gold coins.

The profits from the mines this year are almost wasted.

Fortunately, the harvest was also not small, and just one Deathstroke Ringer was enough to make up for the loss.

With the Deathstroker, the study of bloodline marks can be put on the agenda.

In addition, you can also try to extract divine energy from the blood of the death knell striker.

If successful, he would have a stable channel to obtain divine energy in the future, and the growth rate of his mental power would definitely increase dramatically.

As long as it can speed up the growth of mental power, it is worth spending any amount of gold coins!

Putting away the experimental notes, Sunan looked at the death knell beetle eggs in the corner, thought for a moment, and then used flames to get rid of them all.

Ugo is able to control the death knell beetle because he has merged the blood of the death knell striker.

But he didn't. There was no point in keeping the eggs, so he just burned them. Anyway, the relevant information about the death knell beetle was already in the experimental notebook.

If necessary, it can be recreated at any time using the blood of the knell striker.

When I walked out of the laboratory, the battle in Kashamri was over.

The remaining insects were swept away by the double-edged spider.

Leaving behind more than ten double-blade spiders to guard Kasham to prevent any ignorant creatures from accidentally entering, Sunan then returned to Youhu City.

Since the war took place outside the city, Youhu City suffered almost no damage.

The city is still quiet.

After returning to Base No. 2, Sunan rushed to the puppet factory immediately.

In this war, the golems were damaged to varying degrees and needed to be repaired.

It could have been left in the ground node to repair itself automatically, but Sunan was in a hurry to deal with Matu and Orson, so he went into battle himself.

But the development of things was beyond his expectations.

On the third day after the destruction of Kasham, Carolina knocked on the door of the puppet factory and walked in with a strange look on her face after getting Sunan's permission.

"Master, the Red Widow is outside the city asking to see you."

"She also brought the Black Duke's head."

Su Nan was slightly startled, then showed an amused look.

"Let her go to the drawing-room."

Carolina stepped back in response.

When Su Nan walked into the reception room, the Red Widow was already waiting inside.

Seeing Su Nan coming in, she immediately stood up and a flattering smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"My Lord, congratulations on defeating Kasham."

Sunan glanced at her, then sat down opposite her and said, "It's not a good thing for you that I defeated Kasham."

"You are joking, sir. The insect plague in Kasham has always been a headache for us. This time you have completely solved the problem of the insect plague, so that we no longer have to face the threat of the insect plague. The whole Matu people are grateful to you."

The Red Widow said this with a smile, but seeing that Su Nan had a half-smile on his face, her expression suddenly froze, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She realized that Su Nan had guessed the whole story, so she stopped talking and went straight to the point, opening the wooden box in her hand, and inside was the Black Duke's head.

However, the corona-shaped black flame above the head and the soul fire in the eye sockets had dissipated.

But judging from the aura, it is undoubtedly the Black Duke.

"My lord, after the fall of Kasham, the Black Duke still wanted to harm Youhu City, so I killed him when he was not prepared. I have also conquered Orson. I am willing to hand over Matu and Orson to you, my lord. I only ask you to give me a chance to follow you."

really.

Sunan raised his eyebrows, not surprised at all.

When he heard that the Red Widow was coming with the Black Duke's head, he guessed that the other party was planning to surrender to him.

As to whether the Black Duke really wanted to continue to oppose Youhu City and was ambushed and killed by the Red Widow, it is unknown.

No matter what the truth is, it can be seen that Red Widow is very capable of taking action.

This is a ruthless, courageous and cold-blooded woman!
Su Nan glanced at the skull, with no intention of taking it, and said calmly: "What can you provide me?"

"Your Excellency is very busy with all kinds of affairs, but you only have Carolina under your command. It is difficult for her to manage three city-states. Although I am not particularly capable, I think I have some experience in managing city-states, so I should be able to share your worries."

Sunan narrowed his eyes.

He heard the Red Widow's subtext.

He only has Carolina under his command, and there is no guarantee that the other party will not do something behind his back. But if he has one more follower, he and Carolina can supervise each other, which will be beneficial to him in every way.

It must be said that Red Widow's words hit the nail on the head.

Mutual supervision is one aspect, but the key is that if he wants to expand his influence in the underground world, he will inevitably have to recruit more local personnel to assist in the management of various city-states and resource points.

After all, he can't do everything by himself, and it's impossible for him to let various chores take up too much of his time.

And Red Widow happens to be the right person.

As for loyalty, a soul contract is enough.

"You convinced me."

Since the decision had been made, Sunan did not drag his feet and directly put forward his request.

"I allow you to become my followers, but as a condition, you and all legendary vampires in Matu must sign a soul contract."

"As you command, my lord."

The Red Widow agreed without hesitation.

The signing of the soul contract was expected. She had been mentally prepared for it and had also convinced all the tribesmen.

Although it is difficult to bear that your life will depend on the thoughts of others, it is much easier to accept than death.

Besides, the wizard in front of him was unusually powerful.

The most powerful being she had ever seen in her long life.

It is not difficult to accept to become a follower of such a strong man.

Sunan then took out a gem and signed a soul contract with the Red Widow on the spot.

"I'll give you three days to sort out the mess. After that, I'll bring people to take over Matu and Osen, and sign soul contracts with the rest of the people."

Sunan waved his hand and said, suddenly remembering something.

"Do you have another vein of silver?"

"Yes, sir." The Red Widow did not dare to hide anything.

Sunan immediately made the decision: "I will send the golem to take over the silver vein, and ask your people to cooperate."

The natives are too slow in developing the mineral veins, so we have to let the clay golems do it.

The sooner the silver veins are developed, the sooner enough mithril can be collected to refine the secret doll.

The Red Widow naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Su Nan waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.

Walking out of the living room, Red Widow saw Carolina standing not far away, looking at her expressionlessly.

The Red Widow smiled at her.

Carolina snorted coldly and turned away.

When she saw Red Widow coming out of the reception room safely, she knew that the host must have accepted Red Widow's surrender.
