39: Resource point competition
Upon hearing the divine oracle, the Sand Monsters, Sand Scorpions, and other creatures occupying the resource point simultaneously raised their heads, their crimson pupils burning with the desire for battle.
Yellow Cloak stroked the patterns on his cloak and pondered for a moment, then finally waved his sleeve, sending out the Desert Dragon:
"Dragon King, lead your dependents to meet the enemy! The Sand Monster clan will continue mining the Mithril ore."
This Mithril mining area, buried by yellow sand, was a valuable resource point that Yellow Cloak had spent half a month locating.
As a rare metal that perfectly conducts magic, equipment forged from Mithril allows magic to transmit and amplify quickly, and each piece of raw ore is priceless.
This Mithril point was discovered by Yellow Cloak not long ago, and some of it had already been mined.
Fortunately, Mithril ore is relatively soft and easy to mine.
The Sand Monsters transformed into liquid, seeped into the ore layer, wrapped around the mining picks, and began striking; the sounds of their continuous hammering echoed through the mine.
With a large portion of the Mithril ore still unmined, Yellow Cloak naturally wouldn't give up.
This time, the enemies were not strong and could be handled by the Desert Dragon.
The Desert Dragon led its subordinates in the direction indicated by the Main God.
Sure enough, a few shiny black Goblins and spiders appeared in their sight.
Looking further back, a large group of Goblins, armed with wooden sticks and stones, advanced slowly while remaining vigilant.
Although these Goblins seemed stronger than ordinary Goblins, in the Desert Dragon's eyes, they were nothing special.
A low dragon's roar marked the beginning of this battle.
Hearing this low growl from the top of the food chain, the Goblins couldn't help but tremble with fear.
Meanwhile, the desert creatures were already accustomed to their boss's roar; encouraged, they charged headlong towards the black-skinned monsters.
Seeing the enemies charging forward, the spiders were the first to recover.
After a hiss, the spiders all rushed forward.
These spiders,go through the transformation and enhancement of the Abyss, had reached elite-level strength.
Although they were the weakest characters in the entire Abyss, they were still stronger than these ordinary desert creatures.
Only some second-tier desert beasts could stop the spiders' advance.
The Desert Dragon's face darkened as he watched these small spiders cause damage to his subordinates.
His sharp claws slammed heavily into the ground, and Earth Elementals spread out from his claws.
Below the spiders, spikes of earth rose from the ground.
Spiders that couldn't dodge in time were impaled by the spikes and died instantly.
Seeing their boss unleash his power, the subordinates cheered and collectively attacked the spider monsters, taking advantage of their weakened state.
The Goblins, however, weren't idle; they didn't dare to engage in close combat but instead threw various miscellaneous objects from afar.
Stones, wood, bricks, even underwear...
Some even took out warm “Oli Ge” and threw them with force.
The warm “Oli Ge” flew freely through the air, then disintegrated and scattered, covering the ground.
The Desert Dragon, who was feeling triumphant, was hit in the face by one of them; puzzled, he even sniffed it vigorously.
Then, an earth-shattering roar echoed across the entire battlefield.
"Today...all of you will die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, strong winds whipped up sand, and a fierce sandstorm emerged from around the Desert Dragon.
Seeing this, the Goblin army turned and fled without looking back.
Although they were cannon fodder, they still had a belief in survival.
"Fortunately, I acted cautiously and wasn't far from the Divine Domain passage," the leading strong Goblin said thankfully.
The Desert Dragon naturally wouldn't let these hateful little black-skinned creatures go.
He charged towards the Goblins, carrying the sandstorm with him.
The low-strength Goblins were no match for the Desert Dragon and were quickly killed one by one by the sandstorm.
Only the strong Goblin managed to escape into the Divine Domain passage with astonishing speed.
The enraged Desert Dragon plunged into the Divine Domain passage, wanting to tear this last black-skinned creature to shreds.
However, he didn't realize that there were more than just small black-skinned creatures in the Abyss...
On the other side, Zhou Mingjie, seeing that the two Divine Domains were fighting, didn't hesitate.
He piloted his Flame Divine Domain to land on the brown Divine Domain from another direction.
Yellow Cloak, seeing another enemy appear out of nowhere, quickly gathered the Sand Monsters who were mining Mithril, preparing to meet the enemy.
The Sand Monsters transformed into Desert Wolves and rushed towards the edge of the Divine Domain.
Zhou Mingjie was unaware of this; his army had already landed.
Leading the charge were over a thousand Centaurs, now well-equipped and magnificent in their aura.
Following them were the Snake-man Warriors, powerful Snake-man Warriors moving swiftly across the ground.
Finally, there was the main force, composed of Snake-man Archers, Snake Man Priests, Snake-man Beastmasters, and Fire Elements.
The entire army had a well-rounded professional composition, excellent equipment, and its combat power was a notch stronger than before.
Facing this luxurious army, Yellow Cloak's face immediately changed.
This was not something his desert army could contend with.
Even the Desert Dragon would likely suffer a bitter defeat against such a powerful enemy.
He hurriedly recalled his army to defend and simultaneously shouted across the distance to Zhou Mingjie.
"Big Shot, don't make a move; this Mithril mine is yours. I'll leave immediately."
Zhou Mingjie chuckled after hearing this.
"Leave? You killed so many of my big brother's precious soldiers; where do you think you're going?"
Yellow Cloak was stunned upon hearing this. Aside from slaughtering those black-skinned Goblins and spiders these past few days, he didn't seem to have provoked any trouble.
Could it be...
Thinking of this, he focused his consciousness on the Desert Dragon's side.
Indeed, the once arrogant Desert Dragon was currently being chased and gnawed on by a group of Worms.
And the group of desert subordinates he had brought with him had long since turned into a pile of bones.
Yellow Cloak felt a bitter taste in his mouth; he had been careless.
He hadn't expected to be defeated here today.
But he still held a glimmer of hope and shouted:
"Two Big Shots, my subordinates were ignorant and offended you two. I apologize to you here."
"This Mithril mine can be considered a gift of apology to you two. What do you think...?"
Zhou Mingjie let out a strange laugh:
"What kind of talk is that! This Mithril mine was originally ours; there's no need for you to pretend to be doing us a favor."
Yellow Cloak quickly responded:
"Yes, yes, yes, it was my ignorance as a subordinate; I didn't recognize the treasures of you two Big Brothers. How about... you name a price?"
At this moment, Zhou Mingjie looked at the Desert Dragon, who was being chased back into the Divine Domain by the Worms, and his eyes lit up slightly.
"Easy to say. I think your little dragon is good. Compensate with ten or eight of them, and this matter will be settled."
Yellow Cloak's face fell upon hearing this.
"Big Brother, this Desert Dragon was something I obtained from a resource point in this Great World; it's the only one."
Zhou Mingjie shook his head regretfully:
"Then there's nothing I can do. I gave you a chance, but you're useless."
With that, he stopped talking nonsense, and the army began marching towards the central Divine Domain.
Yellow Cloak knew that this matter would be difficult to resolve peacefully, so he pulled out a card from his cloak and threatened:
"Don't force me. This is a communication card that can send a signal to all surrounding Divine Domains. At that time, it will be hard to say who will win."
After hearing Yellow Cloak's words, Zhou Mingjie's expression became somewhat grim.
The Ten Thousand Races Battlefield adheres to the Dark Forest Law; all Divine Domains are cautious, fearing to expose their location.
If this communication card were used, it would be no less than lighting a large fire in the Dark Forest, attracting countless tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves.
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Ye Chen's Divine Domain.
