Chapter 440: Chapter 302: The Goblin Prince, A Path to Certain Death! (5.6K)_3
Under its command, the Deathremains Territories slowly underwent changes. The edges of some territories became elongated; the centers of others slightly rose to form small hills; a corner of others indented inward.
If viewed from higher above, it would be discovered that the edges of many adjacent territories resembled two meticulously designed gears, ready to interlock perfectly at any moment.
But,
These territories did not merge together.
Within various Deathremains Territories, Skeleton creatures crawled out from the ground one after another, gathered at the center, and their jaw bones clicked up and down making "ka ka ka" cries, as if reciting some incantation.
They lacked Spiritual Wisdom, but they were extensions of the powers of the various Skeleton Lords, part of each respective Lord.
The chanting grew louder, eventually carrying out of their domains, intertwining and resonating with each other under a unique rhythm.
A black fog surged, covering the skies above each Deathremains Territory.
In the vagueness, each White Bone Wilderness seemed to expand a little. No, not seemingly, under the coordination of the mysterious rhythm and the resonance and contact between the territories, each Deathremains Territory began to expand.
The barren earth spread inch by inch.
Grim bone fragments, like young sprouts, grew and pierced through the soil.
After a matter of seconds, fourteen Deathremains Territories truly merged together, forming a vast White Bone Wilderness.
The merging of the Deathremains Territories was not the end, just the beginning.
In the blink of an eye, the entire White Bone Wilderness began to spread and expand at a speed much faster than before, countless times so. The grim white bones across the wilderness grew as if they were injected with steroids.
In just a moment, large swathes of White Bone Forest had formed.
This place was no longer a White Bone Wilderness; it had become a White Bone Forest.
A cold, spectacular White Bone Forest spread out.
The vast Bone Forest exuded an awe-inspiring coercion, a place that could both transmit deep, oceanic energy and bring extremely horrifying augmentation to the various Skeleton Lords. It even possessed a terrifying, indescribable suppressive power.
Big is strong, big is beautiful.
Through fusion and evolution, the scope of the entire White Bone Forest had even surpassed that of General Dead Bone's Wraith Sacred Mountain.
Of course, this power was not real; it was also borrowing the power of Army Soul Resonance. Once the time was up, they would revert back to their original state.
No matter if they revert or not, just ask if Mr. Skull is impressive right now.
"Impressive, very impressive."
Sario, swaying its tail, exclaimed in amazement.
It was just a little brother dragon, what else could it do if not echo along? And to be honest, the coercion spreading from the White Bone Forest was indeed terrifying.
If the entire forest bore down on it, Sario even doubted it could move a single Dragon Claw.
So terrifying!
Wait, if 'Bone Two' and the others have become this strong, how can it continue to be the Frost Giant Dragon above all Undead, but beneath only one Skull?
It seemed that its group status had dropped again.
Sario fell into contemplation.
'Bone Two' looked at Bone Four, "Our divine powers are now fully accomplished. It's time to leave our seclusion and lend a hand to Boss, right? Charge, let's join Boss and slaughter the enemies chaotically!"
Bone Four: "←_←"
Bone Four: "Since when did you get the delusion that Boss needs anyone's help?"
Impossible, absolutely not...
Er, it seemed rather true.
'Bone Two' once again fell into contemplation.
...
At the same time,
In the northern part of the Tianyuan Territory, an overwhelmingly powerful being was striding through the air. Making no attempt to conceal himself, where he passed, Monster Tribe either bowed their heads in submission or trembled in fear, none daring to bare their fangs at him.
Because he was the king among Goblins, he was the Monster King.
He stationed high in the sky, surveying his surroundings as if the world was his hunting ground. He spread his Domain across thousands of kilometers, searching for a precious land that suited his needs.
"This area won't do either."
"The same here, this place has been under the rule of two Overlords for decades; all the desirable spots have been taken. But I need the support of the Wolf Overlord, and I can't choose a lair too far away."
"Moreover…"
To the east, the great river roars into the sea, mysterious and unknown.
To the west, the Red Leaf Forest was said to be the domain of the 'Blood Tree King.' That was a legendary realm existence far more powerful than he, even stronger than Sword Saint Tianhe, and he certainly wouldn't provoke it.
Beyond the Red Leaf Forest further to the west, there seemed to be Overlord Powers occupying the area as well.
The only choice he had was here.
The Goblin Prince stepped slowly through the air, opening his domain after covering a certain distance to sweep the surroundings. Domain probing, although not omnipotent, was far more reliable than the information one could get from eyes and ears.
As an old legendary realm being, the Goblin Prince's mastery of domain usage was expert, if not at its peak.
At the same time,
General Dead Bone was walking silently between the mountains and forests. His steps seemed slow, but he actually traversed hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Where he passed, either the monsters had no detection, or they were annihilated on the spot without leaving the slightest trace of combat.
"I have already carried out a probing attack on the Jackal Man tribe, and they took me for another monster, without detecting anything wrong, but..."
"I also wasn't able to probe much information about the Wolf Overlord backing the Jackal Man tribe."
All clues indicated that the existence of the Wolf Overlord was real.
Yet, the location of the Wolf Overlord remained a mystery.
Unlike the conspicuous large tribes, the Wolf Overlord had hidden itself very deeply.
"This indeed is a very tricky and dangerous enemy!"
Without eradicating this formidable foe, his mind couldn't be at peace.
Of course, he would need to devise a long-term plan, as he was, after all, too weak and lacking in strength.
To pinpoint the headquarters of the Wolf Overlord and Cobra Overlord, Dead Bone also had some ideas. The simplest strategy was, tracking.
The Overlord Power rearing these Monster Tribes certainly didn't do it for nothing.
These Monster Tribes, visible on the outside, monitored all sides and controlled various resource-rich lands.
The Sophora Forest; the black iron veins; the sharp crystal;
In these days, Dead Bone had discovered several monster tribe-controlled resource lands. The rare items mined and collected from these sites couldn't possibly be for the tribe leaders' personal enjoyment alone; they must be supplied to the overlords above.
Including the resources obtained from those few outdoor structures.
By tracking the supply teams, it was possible to find the headquarters of the Overlord Power.
This plan might not be feasible, but Dead Bone had prepared several alternative plans, ready to be tested one by one.
Suddenly, as if a ripple spread through the air, the whole forest fell dead silent for a moment, and then as if nothing had happened, the roaring of monsters resumed in the distance.
An illusion?
It was not!
'It's a domain.'
Dead Bone was certain of it.
The Goblin Prince's mountain domain didn't reveal itself completely; as a legendary figure who had cultivated in this realm for quite a long time, he knew how to use his domain subtly.
Just like now, he simply used his domain as his eyes, spreading it thinly to significantly reduce consumption. At the same time, the entire domain became formless and invisible, like a gentle breeze.
But it still couldn't escape Dead Bone's perception.
He was not only certain that a vast domain was engulfing the forest, but he also found this domain quite familiar!
He had seen this domain from afar!
Dead Bone stood still as the silence of stone, behind him, a Bone Eye quietly emerged, gazing in the direction the domain had come from.
His gaze seemed to bend, piercing through the layers of leaves and branches, and spotted the Goblin figure standing high in the azure sky, godlike and demonic.
A... Goblin Legend!
This was the third time Dead Bone had seen this legendary figure!
What was he doing?
He seemed to be lingering persistently!
Was he searching for the Tianyuan Territory?
He must have nefarious plans!
He already had the path to death!!
