Chapter 1009: A Giant Shadow (Part One)
While Great Priest Nash explained everything to Fei and others, the battle between the two sea creatures finished.
The monster that lost the battle looked like an alligator, had a hard, black shell, and grew six pairs of fish fins on its body. The only fate of a loser in battle here was death. This sea creature’s giant body was torn into pieces, and the stinky blood dyed the seawater in a circular area of about ten kilometers in diameter. Also, the shredded flesh and severed limbs were everywhere, the nose-piercing foul smell permeated the air, and the beach quickly turned red as well. The scene was terrifying.
As a result, everyone had to pinch their noses and fly into the air.
“What should we do next? Are we going to fly across this ocean?” Fei asked while frowning.
At every location on Azeroth, oceans and seas represented great danger.
This ocean before the group seemed endless, and such terrifying demon beasts were not only living around the coastline. If they ventured deeper into the ocean, they might run into even more terrifying existences. If they somehow ran into a sea creature that was in the True God Realm deep in the sea, the entire group might be wiped out.
“Don’t worry; we will be picked up.” Great Priest Nash smiled mysteriously and said, “The beach is relatively safe during the day. Let’s set up the campsite here for now, and we will be picked up before the sunset. Then, we will cross the ocean. They aren’t far from here.”
Fei was surprised when he heard that.
However, he didn’t ask more questions. They just went to the part of the beach that wasn’t stained by the blood of the sea creature, and they put up the campsite and rested.
On the way from Chambord to here, Torres and others cultivated diligently. As soon as they had time, they cultivated. It seemed like they were stimulated by the orc masters. Now that they had free time to cultivate while waiting, they got into the zone quickly and didn’t waste a single second.
Valkyrie Elena also entered Diablo World to level up.
She was already a Hell Mode level 100 Magic Archer, which was the upper limit in Diablo World and equivalent to the peak Burning Sun Realm. She couldn’t level up further. On the other hand, her Paladin bloodline was at Hell Mode level 88, and it was about to reach the peak as well.
Surprising to Fei, Elena’s situation was quite different from his in this area.
Although Elena’s strength couldn’t increase further after reaching Hell Mode level 100, she somehow activated a skill system. She could kill monsters to get additional skill points, and she could obtain mystical and novel skills.
These skills didn’t exist in the seven classes in Diablo World. They were terrifying, and they were mostly related to archery.
It was clear that Elena was on another cultivation path compared to Fei.
Right now, Fei was studying a few books that he brought along with him while sitting inside his tent.
After passing Diablo World with all seven of his characters, Fei obtained a mysterious reward that he couldn’t understand, and he couldn’t increase his strength further. Therefore, the king had to find ways to increase his strength aside from Diablo World. Killing undead creatures in the real world and harvesting mystical energy was one of the ways. Until now, this method seemed to work well; two of his seven characters reached the mid-tier Demi-God Realm.
However, this method for increasing strength had a critical drawback; there wasn’t an unlimited number of undead creatures.
Right now, Fei had killed more than 80 percent of the zombies and other undead creatures inside the territory of the former Anji Empire and outside the Capital of Anji. Their number decreased drastically, so their evolution speed also dropped. It was hard for emperor-level zombies to appear among them.
Chapter 1009: A Giant Shadow (Part Two)
The amount of mystical energy that the rest of the zombies and monsters of Hell could provide for Fei was only enough for one of the five remaining characters to reach the Demi-God Realm; that was the limit.
Of course, there was another way.
If Fei were willing to break the bright magic arrays around the territory of the former Anji Empire, letting the undead energy spread across the region, he would have almost an unlimited number of zombies to harvest and almost an endless streak of mystical energy.
However, as a good young man who grew up on Earth and was more civilized, Fei couldn’t lower himself to do such a terrible and sickening act.
To Fei, if no more evil creatures would appear and provide him with mystical energy, he must try to find another path to increase his strength.
Therefore, in the last while, Fei put a lot of time and energy into reading and studying some of the top-tier cultivation methods on the continent, hoping to find something useful for him.
Also, the king was trying to figure out how he could go from the Demi-God Realm to the True God Realm; it was a hard problem.
Ever since Great Priest Nash said that true gods and even godly kings appeared in the Behemoth Orc Tribe, Fei kept a note in his mind.
Different from the Azeroth Continent where many great wars occurred between humans, destroying many inheritances and cultivation techniques, even though the orcs lived in harsh conditions, they didn’t experience internal or external war and destruction in the last 1,000 years. Theoretically, they should have kept many complete cultivation techniques from the Mythical Era.
If Fei could borrow some of the ancient records and study them, he might be able to find a way to become a true god. After all, [Demon King’s Wisdom] and [Demon King’s Sword] didn’t have information on this.
-Further away on the beach-
Orc masters like O’Neal and Nowitzki were fighting and practicing with each other, using this method to strengthen themselves.
Fei wasn’t sure what Great Priest Nash was doing. Since this fox-man entered the beast leather tent, he rarely showed himself. Perhaps he was performing the daily prayer that orc priests did and cultivating.
After everyone had lunch at noon, Great Priest Nash drew a giant totem symbol on the white beach; it was almost circular and had a diameter of about 100 meters.
“This totem symbol is for showing our location,” Nash explained.
Fei thought for a while as he observed the totem symbol, and then he continued reading his book.
As time passed by, people were mostly cultivating on their own in the afternoon.
When it was closer to the night, the roars and cries of the sea creatures got louder and sharper. Gradually, many giant black figures appeared on the surface of the sea.
This should be what Great Priest Nash mentioned before. Since the night was approaching, the amphibian sea creatures were about to get on land and have fun.
The danger was gradually approaching the coastline.
At this moment, a streak of soft, golden flames suddenly shined on the giant totem symbol on the beach, and this light shot into the sky.
“They are here! Guys, get ready! The people who are here to pick us up are here!” Great Priest Nash shouted in excitement.
Everyone quickly disassembled the campsite in a hurry and packed up everything.
Fei looked at the seemingly endless ocean and got curious; he wondered what method the orcs were going to use to carry so many people across this ocean without disturbing and alerting these terrifying sea creatures.
Surprising to Fei, those people didn’t come from the sea.
Instead, something directly descended above everyone’s head, looking like a helicopter that was doing a vertical landing.
The large shadow quickly appeared in the sky and blocked the light of the setting sun, and the envoys of Chambord all gasped in shock.
