Chapter 266: Chapter 225: Richard Treated as Prey

Richard’s eyes brightened at the notification. And he read it a few more times.
The land of broken laws.
The remnants of the Battle of the Gods.
It was possible to obtain treasures the main plane didn’t have.
He raised his head and looked at the lake that floated in the air. It immediately stirred his interest.
The treasures were good. He loved treasures the most.
With a wave of his hand, he led the troop forward.
The closer they got to the broken lakes, the more shocked they were.
It could make countless broken lakes connected to the earth fly into the sky and never fall.
This kind of power was starkly beyond his knowledge.
Perhaps only in the dungeon, the President of the Scarlet Council who took out the plane stone from a collapsed plane with its bare hands and gave it to him, has the power.
It was a pity that the big boss only existed in the dungeon.
Richard floated up from Alves’s back when the troop was about twenty meters away.
He controlled the sand and slowly moved to the front of the shield that connected the sky and the earth.
He reached out his right hand and touched the transparent shield.
He immediately felt resistance like he pressed on a spring. The more force he used, the more pressure he felt.
“Can’t I enter?”
Richard’s brow furrowed.
While he looked at the mysterious map in his hand, which constantly gave him instructions, he suddenly had an idea.
He tried to touch the shield with the map.
At that moment.
The shield rippled like water, and he immediately went through it without any resistance.
He felt more comfortable.
He pulled back his hand and didn’t rush to enter. Instead, he silently opened the Black Gold System.
As expected, there were more detailed hints about it.
He discovered a notable area–the land of broken laws.
[Degree of Regional Rule Fragmentation: 2-stars ]
[Threat Level: Medium ]
[Special Rule: Unable to use spatial magic.]
[Prompt: Unable to increase the level of regional rules.]
[2-stars, medium danger.]
All of these were easy to explain, but the special rule made him thoughtful.
He could not use spatial magic… Is this related to the formation of the space bead?
When he looked up at the sky, the broken lakes were about twenty meters above the ground.
With brute force alone, even giants would not be able to carry it.
This could only be due to the rules of space.
Richard’s interest was piqued.
The weirder the rules, the more special the hidden things would be.
This area was very similar to the easter egg map in other games. Perhaps, one could find a divine weapon and a few dragon eggs.
He turned around and looked at the troop behind him.
“Sand condensation archers and undead soldiers, come down immediately and form a defensive line.
“Alves, bring all the air force back to Twilight City as fast as possible and take the bandaged mummies, scorpion warriors… Bring all the rare-level troops and above!”
The dark gargoyle immediately put down the two units and returned to Twilight City with Alves.
They flew at full speed, and it only took them two and a half hours to return to Twilight City.
Alves then immediately gathered the troops and carried them on the ground.
Alves transported even the weirdly heavy magic mechanical puppets such as the heavy sword warriors with the skeleton blood dragon.
But even so, it still took three full trips to transport the entire troop to this land of broken laws.
Richard couldn’t help but sigh at the lack of transportation.
It was not efficient to rely on flying units for transportation.
It was still fine for now, but once the battle situation became urgent, he might send the main force to act as the carriage.
However, he was glad that the sandworms would hatch in about ten days.
Those 100 meters long giant beings might be able to change the terrible traffic conditions in Twilight City.
When the time came, he would design a special carriage for the sandworms and let a giant beast with a body length of 100 meters pull the carriage.
That commotion was quite cool to think about.
“When I’m rich, I’ll raise nine sandworms to pull the carriage.
“Nine bugs pulling a carriage? Who else?”
Richard looked at the C-rank hero.
Baal, take the death knights and guard this place. If you see any enemies, contact me with the whisper crystal.
Richard didn’t want others to block his escape route.
“Yes, Lord.”
“Gunter, lead five teams from Twilight City to explore the way. Retreat immediately if you encounter any danger. Don’t linger in the battle.”
As a blood Lich who had a soul phylactery and could be resurrected, Gunter was the one who led the way.
After Richard gave the orders, he controlled the sand to place the map on the shield.
The troop advanced smoothly.
He only kept the map after the troop had passed.
Like a closed door, the shield was no longer accessible.
What surprised Richard, however, was that the feeling of the map guiding him forward was still there.
The destination that the map pointed him to was not this area, but a certain place in the area.
“It really became a GPS?”
As he pondered, he changed his direction and directed the troop to the area indicated on the mysterious map.
At the same time, he spread the dark gargoyles far away that would kill all possible dangers in the cradle.
One had to admit that this land of broken laws was mysterious.
He lifted his head and looked at the broken lake that floated above his head. It was a visual impact.
Especially in those broken lakes. There were even fishes that swam, which made it even more dreamy.
However, in such an environment, the gods’ vision was greatly affected.
Not only was the broken lane in the sky affected them, but the rocks of various sizes on the ground also became obstacles.
The only good news was that sand brimmed the cracks in the rocks.
The Twilight City troop was still in their home ground.
For safety’s sake, Richard slowed down the troop’s pace. That allowed the dark gargoyles to scout every corner.
However, while he was on high alert, he was surprised to find there were no enemies around him as he had imagined. There was not even the sound of the wind.
The surroundings were so quiet that they could only hear the troops’ footsteps sound and his own breathing.
Ten, twenty minutes. One, or two hours had passed.
Richard couldn’t find out how wide this land of chaos was, and his surroundings remained the same.
It was so quiet that it was strange.
Suddenly, it lifted his spirit.
When he looked down, the mysterious map in his hand suddenly emitted a faint blue light.
The feeling of guidance in his mind got increasingly closer.
They were almost there.
However, he did not relax. Instead, he gave another order.
“Everyone, be on your guard. We’re almost there!” He shouted.
The slightly loose formation of the troop immediately began to shrink and guard the surroundings in the most serious manner.
The dark gargoyle in the sky continued to survey its surroundings.
Richard was extremely defensive.
After he advanced for another ten minutes, Gunter who scouted ahead, suddenly sent a message through the whisper crystal.
It found a special area.
Richard looked at the map in his hand, which got increasingly brighter. His heart calmed down a little.
He had finally found it.
He led the troop and speed up to that area.
Ten minutes later, Richard suddenly stopped.
An extremely spectacular scene appeared in front of him.
A few hundred meters away, the surrounding broken lake had disappeared without a trace.
In its place was a huge river in the air. He felt like he was in the depths of the sea.
When he looked, he could see the deep blue of the river.
The river flew into the sky.
There was a transparent shield below the floating river that was like an inverted bowl, that isolated the lake.
In the middle, there was a colossal arched area.
The river above flowed around the arch which formed a dazzling scene.
However, voluminous blood and several corpses were left at the bottom of the river.
The corpses belonged to the twin-headed ogres.
They were like had been dead for a long time judging from the battle traces around them.
But surprisingly, the corpses did not rot at all.
It was like they stored them in ice.
Richard’s eyes hardened.
His eyes followed the corpse to the center.
The most special item in this area–
Twelve blue crystals, more than three meters in diameter and shaped like a warrior’s thick shield, were suspended on the ground half a man’s height.
The 12 giant crystals slowly rotated in a clockwise direction.
Through the gap between them, one could see a hollow crystal ball the size of a human head carved with countless mysterious runes.
The crystal ball emitted a special aura.
Space fluctuated.
The spatial energy surged.
The mysterious hollow core made Richard’s heart skip a beat.
Once the power within exploded, it would probably wipe out everything within a thousand meters.
The energy it contained was many times more powerful than the magic crystal that Gunter had refined into a soul phylactery that it had found in the ancient ruins.
When Richard took a closer look, he suddenly realized.
Hundreds of thumb-sized transparent crystals floated around the 12 huge crystals.
The spatial bead.
Richard’s pupils contracted.
This was the loot he had found on the twin-headed ogre.
He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the throb in his heart.
He turned to look at other places, but he didn’t find any traces of life.
The air was still terrifyingly quiet.
“Lord,”
Gunter reported to Richard as soon as it saw him.
“We didn’t find any enemies around here.”
Richard nodded and turned his attention to the special hollow crystal.
“No enemies?”
Could he obtain these treasures so easily?
He had never harbored the mentality of getting lucky.
Rather than believing he was the chosen one, it was better to believe in the saber in his hand.
His gaze turned cold.
“Troop, get ready! Prepare for battle!”
As soon as he gave the order, the surrounding troops immediately got into an attacking stance to prevent any possible enemies from appearing.
Richard waved his hand, and the sand on the ground formed a human figure.
Then, it floated into the air and slowly approached the hollow crystal ball that emitted spatial energy.
After they entered the 10-m boundary, Richard’s eyes lit up.
His eyes were wide open as he stared at the twelve giant crystals.
Under the reflection of the crystal, countless black dots suddenly appeared in the sky above the peaceful blue lake.
It was like a swarm of locusts.
An indescribable sense of danger welled up in his heart.
He suddenly raised his head.
In the lake above them, countless beings with fish lower bodies and human upper bodies that held special bows, arrows, and tridents appeared in their sight.
These half-murloc monsters were not as beautiful as the mermaids in the legends. Instead, they had ferocious faces and unspeakable viciousness and greed brimmed their eyes.
The way they looked at them was like… A hunter who captured its prey while hunting in the mountains.
At this moment.
A figure with a crown on his head, a body five meters tall, and countless times stronger than the other half-mermen swam out of the half-murloc men.
The other half-mermaids immediately backed down. Their eyes showed an extremely humble attitude.
The half-murloc with the crown appeared above Richard’s head.
It looked around through the lake water, and its ferocious face became increasingly horrifying.
A shrill voice filled with anger pierced through the lake.
“Lowly ogres, you only managed to lure in so little prey!”
“I’m going to hang you in the water and let the piranhas gnaw on your bones!”
Ancient murloc language.
Richard’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
For some reason, he felt a little ridiculous.
Was this mysterious map the bait that the murlocs used to fish?
And the twin-headed ogres that died on the ground were the result of biting the bait?
Have these half-mermen acted like tigers, enslaved the twin-headed ogre lord that he had killed?
And now, the half-murloc treated him as prey?
