Chapter: Chapter 480
In less than a day, all the sacrificial magic arrays hidden throughout the Eastern Territory were discovered one by one under Leticia’s super-powered radar. Afterward, starlight descended from the sky and struck their cores, completely destroying them.
As night fell, Bai Ling returned to the small mountain after running almost a full circle around the Eastern Territory’s great plains. Leticia had already made a bonfire and was roasting corn cobs she had found from somewhere.
The day’s work had left the Demon Lord’s expression somewhat tired, and her originally rosy cheeks showed a hint of unhealthy paleness. It was clear at a glance that her condition was not very good.
“Even gods have their limits.” Seeing Bai Ling return, Leticia beckoned to the Sword Sage, who had also been busy all day, and tossed her a roasted sweet potato. “Eat something to fill your stomach first. The Dragon tribe will bring other food later.”
Catching the sweet potato Leticia threw, Bai Ling didn’t mind the dirty ground and sat down on the grass next to Leticia. “The sacrificial arrays in the Eastern Territory are all dealt with. Are we going to the Southern Territory next?”
“No, I plan to go directly to the Northern Territory. Searching for arrays on such a large scale is a difficult pressure for me. Each time I do it, I’ll be weakened for at least seven days. By the time I finish dealing with the arrays in the Southern Territory, that big bird will likely have gained enough energy.”
“Moreover, the Southern Territory is not yet in chaos, unlike the Eastern Territory which has completely descended into a mess. Plus, the Dragon tribe is over there, so stabilizing the situation won’t be a problem. There’s no need to waste time there.”
“These sacrificial arrays are all part of a larger array group. The energy they absorb is all sent to the Northern Territory. As long as we follow the direction of energy transmission, we can find that guy’s hiding place.”
Leticia spread her hands, and magic emerged in her palm, forming an extremely complex schematic diagram.
“Here is the Eastern Territory of the Beastmen. The dark light spots on it are the sacrificial arrays we have already destroyed, and the thin lines connecting these spots are the energy transmission channels.”
The magic lines connecting all the sacrificial arrays emitted dazzling white light. They covered the entire Eastern Territory like a net, and the source was in the Northern Territory.
“So, we are going to attack here directly?” Bai Ling’s finger followed these magic lines, slowly moving to the area representing the Northern Territory.
“That’s right. That big bird god must be hidden in the Northern Territory. Probably more than half of the bird-like beastmen there are its followers. In other words, that’s likely their main base.”
Otherwise, how could the bird-like beastmen respond so promptly to the beastmen’s rebellion? Could it be that they all thought of the same thing and decided to overturn the Lion Beastmen’s royal tent at the same time?
What are the chances of that happening!
Leticia didn’t believe it. She was more inclined to believe that it was all the doing of the bird-like beastmen behind the scenes. These guys wanted to replace the Lion Beastmen’s royal tent and establish a new royal tent led by bird-like beastmen.
The beastmen flying in the sky and the beastmen running on the ground already had serious conflicts. After the racial war dominated by the Lion Beastmen ended in the beastmen’s defeat, the confrontation between the two factions became even more severe.
In the past, the bird-like beastmen at least showed some respect and responded to the Lion Beastmen’s calls. However, in recent years, these bird-like beastmen were unwilling to show any respect at all. They even drove back the Lion Beastmen’s representative in the Northern Territory.
“The Northern Territory is our Northern Territory.” This is what the chief of the largest tribe in the Northern Territory said to the Lion Beastmen who had been driven away by him.
However, Leticia didn’t know much about the dirty dealings between these two factions. She had already entered a state of giving up at that time and couldn’t be bothered to deal with these matters.
And now she didn’t need to know too much. Anyway, the Lion Beastmen were allies, and the bird-like beastmen were enemies. Even if these Lion Beastmen weren’t clean, it didn’t matter. They at least had a common enemy now.
That golden big bird, and the beastmen who believed in the golden big bird.
As long as the Lion Beastmen didn’t want to be overthrown, they could only grudgingly accept the olive branch extended by Leticia.
Leticia wouldn’t take their lives for now, but those rebels who believed in the golden big bird would really take their lives. When compared, even a fool would know how to choose.
No one would really attack their potential teammates, right?
“For other parts of the Beastman tribe, those lion heads should be able to keep them under control. No matter how chaotic the Eastern Territory is, it won’t provide any help to that dead bird now. We should take this opportunity to go straight for the kill, preferably to disrupt her revival ritual directly and shatter her consciousness, making her truly die once.” Leticia clenched her fist, her eyes flashing with cold light.
At this moment, the decisive Demon Lord of the past once again revealed her unique sharpness.
“Then we’ll depart tomorrow?”
“No, no, I’ll rest for a few days first. After finishing today’s work, I absolutely don’t want to get out of bed tomorrow.” Unfortunately, this sharpness disappeared after less than a few sentences. The lazy Demon Lord that Bai Ling was familiar with reappeared in the world.
“This is the Leticia I know.” Bai Ling couldn’t help but chuckle twice, and reached out to pull Leticia into her embrace, whispering in Leticia’s ear, “Then I’ll sleep in with you… No, we don’t even have a place to sleep in.”
They couldn’t sleep in the tent, right?
In response, Leticia expressed that Bai Ling was still too young. She raised her right hand, revealing the golden chain on her wrist. “Aren’t there places to live in the divine artifact’s space?”
As a being recognized by the divine artifact, Leticia could open the divine artifact’s space and enter it at any time. Moreover, her ancestor, Infino, lived in that divine artifact’s space, and there were quite a few empty rooms in that big house.
“Then I’ll have Linglong take this chain and head to the Northern Territory. We’ll hide inside to avoid the big bird noticing anything unusual.” Leticia revealed a wicked smile. Her strategy was called “Feinting in the East and attacking in the West.” “Once we find her, we’ll pop out and give her a big surprise!”
“By the way, has Ancestor still not come out of seclusion?” Bai Ling, on the other hand, was concerned about Infino’s situation. If Infino could awaken in time, their success rate against Huang would be higher.
Unfortunately, at least for now, Infino still showed no intention of coming out of seclusion.
“No, probably because the energy needed for Ancestor to break the seal is really a lot. However, the materials she needs are indeed difficult to collect. I haven’t found even one yet.”
Although it was said that the materials needed to contact the seal could be found among the beastmen, Leticia had been in the Beastman tribe for so long and had truly not found any materials.
Leticia really suspected whether those materials were indeed in the Beastman tribe’s great plains, perhaps her Ancestor remembered it incorrectly. She had even mentioned the names of those items to those lion heads, but the lion heads could only look at each other with blank faces and no clues.
Materials that even the lion heads of the royal tent had never heard of, well, the difficulty of finding them could only be said to be a bit too great.
“Let’s take it one step at a time. At worst, after dealing with that dead bird, I’ll make a trip to the desert. With my current strength, sandstorms shouldn’t affect me much.” If they couldn’t find them on the great plains, they would likely have to search in the desert.
Moreover, the names of those materials did have a desert-like flair, such as “Crimson Gold Sacred Bloodwood” and “Undying Fire Feather.” They sounded incompatible with the style of the great plains.
While the two were discussing matters related to Infino, a team from the Dragon tribe also arrived at the small mountain with dinner. The leader was Miss Linglong, who was undoubtedly the leader among the younger generation of the Dragon tribe.
“Letti, Bai Ling, I’ve brought you food!” The Dragon Girl’s demeanor had changed greatly compared to before. Previously, she might have still had some childishness, but now, her aura had completely transformed, becoming more mature.
In her own words, it was probably the last bit of power from the Dragon God that helped her improve her intelligence, instantly enlightening her as a beastman and giving her intelligence beyond the average.
In response, Leticia could only say, “As expected of a god, they can actually improve people’s intelligence.”
After happily finishing dinner, Leticia explained the plan to Linglong. “Linglong, do you think this plan is feasible?”
“Asking me? Actually, no matter what kind of plan it is, as long as you and Miss Bai are there to back it up, it will have a high degree of feasibility, right?” Linglong shrugged, indicating she had no opinion.
The existence of Leticia and Bai Ling guaranteed the lower bound of the plan. At worst, it would be a failed infiltration that would turn into a forced attack. Before that god resurrected, what could possibly stop these two from advancing together in the Northern Territory of the Beastmen?
Even binding all the strong individuals of the beastmen together might not be enough to withstand one move from these two working together.
With such a guaranteed level of strength, even the worst plan would have an extremely high success rate when actually executed.
Besides, Leticia’s plan wasn’t that bad, and the difficulty of execution wasn’t that great. The success rate could be considered acceptable no matter what.
Alright, since no one had any objections, the plan was settled. Leticia and Bai Ling would hide in Infino’s divine artifact’s space, and then Linglong would take the divine artifact to infiltrate the Northern Territory to find the whereabouts of that big bird god.
Once her location was confirmed, the two of them would pop out and give the uncooperative fellow a good beating, making her honestly go offline to have tea with Miss Dream God.
“Then, let’s all have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, Linglong, you’ll take this chain to the Northern Territory.” Leticia took off the divine artifact from her wrist and said to Linglong, “With your strength, you should be able to handle most enemies you encounter, right?”
“Even if you really encounter something, it’s okay. She and I will constantly monitor your situation and provide support.”
“Hehe, sometimes you should believe in me. I can turn into a dragon now, and my combat power is very strong!” After mastering the Dragon Transformation Technique, Linglong’s confidence had clearly increased significantly. After transforming from human form to dragon form, her combat power could at least increase by one tier.
Coupled with the gift she received from the Dragon God a few days ago, when Linglong transformed into a dragon, she could actually exchange a few blows with strong enemies like the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Realm!
Of course, she could only exchange a few blows, and after a few blows, she would be crying miserably. The huge gap in strength still existed.
However, with such strength, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she could walk sideways in the Northern Territory of the Beastmen, as she would hardly encounter any enemies. It was estimated that only a few beastmen in the entire Northern Territory had the strength to suppress Linglong, and Leticia truly didn’t believe that Linglong’s luck would be so good as to encounter one of them.
Even if she did, didn’t Leticia and Bai Ling have her back?
Secretly opening a small gap in the divine artifact’s space, and then launching a shameless sneak attack, they would definitely be able to kill that enemy.
Therefore, this plan was invincible!
After discussing some details, Leticia and Bai Ling bid farewell to Linglong and entered Infino’s divine artifact’s space.
The familiar yet strange big house appeared in their sight. Leticia, feeling no strangeness, opened the door and walked into the lifeless room, and was immediately met by Infino, who was holding a kettle and pouring water into a teacup.
“Ancestor?! Aren’t you in seclusion?” Leticia was dumbfounded. Why did she wake up now, when she could have woken up earlier or later?
“I’ve accumulated enough energy. I came out to see how the materials are being prepared.” Infino sighed, revealing a helpless expression. “You’ve gained quite a lot these days, haven’t you?”
A hint of surprise appeared on the face, which bore some resemblance to Leticia’s. She walked to Leticia’s side, sniffed, “This smell… Dragon and Huang? Have you had contact with them?”
“Ancestor, you know them?”
“I’ve heard their names, but I’m not very familiar with them… Strange, I remember they should have perished together. Why do you have their scent on you?”
Infino felt that she wasn’t old enough to have dementia, and she wouldn’t forget something like two gods perishing together.
After these two gods left the stage hand in hand, their successors had never appeared in the world again. Therefore, Infino could be sure that there was only one Dragon and one Huang in the world, and they were the ones who had died.
“That’s a long story. They both appeared to be dead, but in reality, they weren’t completely dead… Oh, the Dragon God is completely dead now, and I temporarily have the right to use the Dragon God’s authority.” Leticia summoned the Dragon God’s scepter. As soon as the golden scepter appeared, Infino immediately exclaimed.
“Heavens, your luck is too good! This is the Dragon God’s authority!”
