Chapter 238 The gap between players

A small plane located in another direction.

The continental terrain here is dominated by wild mountains and ancient forests, full of primitive scenes that are very attractive.

The mountains in the wilderness are towering and majestic, with peaks and ridges overlapping, as if they are the backbone of the earth. They crisscross and stretch endlessly, like a mysterious ancient painting. Under the sunlight, the rocks of the mountains shine with a metallic luster, appearing hard and cold, while at the foot of the mountain, the dense primeval forest is like a green ocean, with tall and straight trees and lush branches and leaves, covering the sky.

There is not much civilization in this land, as if there are no intelligent creatures.

Ancient ferocious beasts that cover the sky and the sun, monsters with powerful bloodlines, super vegetation with long lifespans, and all kinds of magical creatures were born on this land and then grew rapidly.

Compared with these divine creatures, ordinary creatures are so weak that their so-called props and inscriptions have no chance to develop at all.

The path of transcendence is the path for the creatures in this plane.

Learn from the outside world and strengthen yourself.

Only by doing everything possible to improve their strength can relatively ordinary creatures survive and reproduce here.

The creatures here are mainly ancient ferocious beasts and ancient descendants. They each occupy a piece of land and basically do not expand, living only within their own one-third acre of land.

Abundant resources and land are enough for those ferocious beasts and monsters to live well.

On the east side of the continent, a towering mountain reaches into the clouds, like a giant standing between heaven and earth.

This high mountain is called Wanlong Mountain, and it was originally the territory of a demigod-level dragon.

That giant dragon is the strongest lord within a thousand miles. It is extremely powerful and is the top existence even in the entire plane.

Then, as the black dragon king Nidhogg descended into this world and defeated the giant dragon with a crushing force, the ownership of this territory changed and it became Nidhogg's territory.

At this moment, there are a large number of dragon races living on Wanlong Mountain. Some are ferocious beast races, and some are monster races. However, they all have one characteristic: they are huge in size and have very strong combat power.

On the top of the mountain, there is a huge and magnificent palace.

Inside the palace, Nidhogg sat on the throne in the form of a dragon man, looking a little dazed, listening to his subordinates reporting on the battle situation.

"My king, the Demon Flower Plain has been taken. The Demon Flower Lord refused to surrender and has been killed. In this battle, we killed four ninth-level Saint Realm warriors, forty-seven eighth-level Legendary Realm warriors, three hundred and seventy-eight seventh-level Epic Realm warriors, and countless sixth-level warriors."

A Black Scale Dragon General below looked at the statistical information and said slowly: "We have harvested 1254kg of life source, high-level crystal cores, as well as high-level forging materials, life seeds, and spiritual materials."

"Okay, you don't need to report these things to me. According to the original rules, 30% will be sent back to the Eternal Night Plane, 20% will be placed in the Qunlong Mountain Treasury, and the remaining 50% can be distributed among yourselves."

The black-haired young man on the throne stretched out his hand to interrupt him, and then said half-instructively: "I don't care how you distribute it, but if any soldier complains to me about not getting the proper reward, I will only hold you accountable." As he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from his body, pressing down on the Black Scale Dragon General like a heavy stone, causing him to feel his body sink immediately.

"As you command, my king!"

The Black Scale Dragon General knelt on one knee and replied very carefully.

"If you have nothing else, go down." Nidhogg waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, the Black Scale Dragon general quickly retreated.

Without Nidhogg waving, someone came up immediately. It was a dragon general with four wings growing on his back. His aura reached the limit of the ninth level and was extremely powerful.

"My king."

By the time all the generals had reported their intelligence, more than ten hours had passed.

Nidhogg sat on the throne with a tired look in his eyes. It was not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue.

Nidhogg stretched out his wings and stretched his body. He regretted it very much: "If I had known this would happen, I would have asked the Empire to send more people here. Reporting the situation every day is really annoying."

As the supreme leader of the Eternal Night Empire here and the lord of the Dragon Territory, Nidhogg has to receive reports from his generals every day, which makes him particularly irritated.

In the past, when he was in the plane of eternal night, he didn't care about anything and simply transferred power to others to manage it. Unless there were particularly serious problems, Nidhogg would not even show up.

But after coming here, it doesn’t work anymore.

The first is the issue of the severity of the matter. There is no trivial matter in war, and Nidhogg must be involved in almost all wars. Even if he doesn't have to understand the full situation, he at least needs to know whether the war is won or lost.

Secondly, this is the trial ground assigned to their dragon clan. Handing it over to them was originally intended for them to gain experience, and it would be somewhat inappropriate if the empire took over in full.

Therefore, apart from arranging some manpower to help them stabilize the rear, the Eternal Night Empire did not give them much assistance.

Let them do whatever they want here.

"Others are vying to be the boss, but you are actually looking down on it." A middle-aged dragon man with red scales on his body and a very strong figure walked in. When he heard Nidhogg's words, he said jokingly.

This is also a giant dragon, and a powerful demigod-level dragon at that.

His name is Bazel, a being conquered during the early days of the empire's conquest of other demiplanes. At first, he was only at the ninth level, but after many rounds of baptism, his bloodline was strengthened and he successfully broke through to the demigod level.

"It's easy to talk without any pain in your waist. You will behave yourself if you sit here for a few months." Nidhogg glanced at him and said unhappily.

"Okay, don't be so stressed. The Empire doesn't ask you to complete the capture immediately. We still have a lot of time." Another dragon man walked in. He was also a dragon, and a female dragon at that.

However, unlike Nidhogg and the other two, this giant dragon named Martina has not reached the demigod realm, but is only at the ninth level.

But relying on his powerful bloodline talent, his fighting ability is not weaker than some weak demigods.

"Martina, you're back too. How's the situation over there?" Nidhogg sat up a little straighter, obviously surprised at the return of the female dragon.

"Don't mention it. We still haven't broken in. Those monsters are too strong. It's too difficult to defeat them all in one go. Unless you transfer the first few legions to help me, we should be able to break in." Martina shook her head and looked at Nidhogg with some anticipation.

"Don't even think about it. The legions ahead have their own tasks and don't have the time to help you."

Nidhogg quickly shook his head and advised, "If we can't get in, then we can't get in. Just spend our time slowly. Just treat it as training. We are not in a hurry anyway. We have plenty of time."

After staying here for a while, Nidhogg realized that it was not realistic for them to completely occupy this world in the short term. Even in recent years, with the help of the Empire, the Dragon Territory has developed rapidly, not only adding more than a dozen dragons, but also a large number of Dragonborn have completed their transformation. In terms of combat power alone, it can even crush some players.

But even so, it is impossible for the Dragon Leader to capture this plane.

The gap in size between the two sides is too big.

Even though a large number of Dragonborn warriors are acting recklessly in this plane, conquering this territory today and destroying that territory tomorrow, in fact, their speed of killing is not as fast as the natural growth of this plane.

It is also for this reason that, in the eyes of those local creatures, the current Qunlong Mountain is just a territory that is slightly stronger than the original Qunlong Mountain, and there is nothing special about it.

The truth that Nidhogg could understand was naturally understood by the Eternal Night Empire, which had many wise men. That was why they sent Nidhogg and the Dragonborn here for only one purpose: to use the resources accumulated locally to allow the warriors of the Dragon Territory to undergo further transformation.

The same is true for others such as the Infernal Hounds, Dark Nagas, and Sky-Splitting Beasts.

It's funny to say, because they are progressing so fast, the empire can no longer afford to support them relying solely on the resources of this plane.

This inability to support them does not mean that we cannot maintain their daily consumption, but that we cannot provide the best resources so that they can improve their own strength at will.

There is no way. Although the Eternal Night plane has been unified, it has not yet completely transformed. In addition, the promotion time is too short and the resource foundation is relatively shallow. The scale of the Eternal Night Empire's army is so terrifying that it is normal that it cannot keep up.

For those warriors who have reached an extraordinary high level, the resources they spend on daily training alone are a bottomless pit, not to mention improvements in other areas.

The Eternal Night Empire naturally cannot be perfunctory about the improvement of its warriors, and everything must be the best.

When this plane is unable to provide for them, they can only be sent out to obtain resources on their own.

If we can protect ourselves and control the intensity of the war.

In fact, this is also a very good method. On the one hand, it can solve the resource problem of one's own cultivation, and even replenish some resources to the empire. On the other hand, it can also improve one's strength in battle, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, the premise of all this is that they are strong enough to withstand the dangers in the plane.

In most of the void planes, the creatures therein have generally reached the sixth level of transcendence, and there are also many in the epic realm, legendary realm, and even the holy realm. If you are unlucky, you may encounter a demigod.

Even though Transcendent Level 6 is very common in the Eternal Night Empire, and even the high-level legions have reached double digits, in fact, most of the players and their clans today are still mainly Transcendent Level 5. Their elites are still Transcendent Level 6, and they are only ordinary Level 6.

The sixth-order legion sent in cannot actually run rampant. If they are unlucky and encounter a demigod, they may even be destroyed in a short time.

Therefore, for most players, such an environment is not a "trial ground" at all, but a bloody meat grinder. Sending your clans in is no different from sending them to their deaths.

You know, even the Eternal Night Empire has sent out several armies that are top-notch.

No matter what these armies encounter, they will be powerless to resist.

The void plane is indeed an undeveloped treasure land, but there are very few players who have the ability to develop this treasure land, and there are even fewer players who can develop multiple planes at the same time.

Another dark void.

There is no life plane here, not even many void beasts, it is dead silent.

Meteorites of all sizes gathered together to form a meteorite swarm.

One of the larger meteorites had a surface full of pits and rolling mountains, and the terrain was extremely strange. There was no life on it, and no living creatures were visible.

Even the hardiest vegetation cannot survive here.

And it was such a place that welcomed a group of guests at this time.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

"The mineral vein is just ahead, everyone speed up."

A large-scale orc army was marching on the meteorite. They were divided into dozens of teams and headed to different locations.

These orcs are strong and sturdy, and their extraordinary levels have generally reached the fourth level. Although they cannot be said to be very powerful, they are still pretty good.

The accompanying magician released detection magic from time to time to search for the exact location of the mineral vein.

One of the teams stopped quickly, and the seventh-level magician at the front pointed to the ground below and said, "This is it. Let's hurry up and mine."

Several earth magicians in the team immediately cast magic, and a crack appeared in the ground, through which fragments of ore could be seen.

The rhinoceros orc did not hesitate either. He swung the fine iron hoe in his hand and started digging.

bang bang bang-

After a short while, a large amount of rare ores were dug out, transported to the rear, and piled up. When the quantity reached a certain level, they were stored in storage tools.

Above the sky, an illusory light and shadow stood in the void, watching everything below.

"Such a large meteorite should contain enough mineral veins for me to dig for a long time." Looking at the rare ores that were being continuously excavated, Chen Ming couldn't help but smile.

As an ordinary player, although he was promoted to the middle realm, he was not actually doing very well.

He didn't get very good rewards in the early stage, and his ranking was very low in the qualifying round. After being promoted, he didn't get any benefits except enjoying the benefits of increased spiritual energy.

Without any organization or mutual aid, or help from any big boss, we have to rely on ourselves for everything. It can be said that it is extremely miserable.

The expansion of this plane has come to a standstill, and it has no ability to capture a half-plane, and it can't even defeat the void beasts on some meteorites. He can only slowly explore the void, looking for those dead meteorites to obtain mineral resources.

The meteorite under his feet is the resource source that Chen Ming spent several years and even destroyed several incarnations of divine power to find.

There are no void beasts here, so his followers can mine the minerals as they please.
