96: Kobold High Priest
Over the next two days, Ye Chen continued to "fish" in the Demigod Great World, but unfortunately, his harvest was minimal.
He only caught a small fish, and after defeating it, he obtained tens of thousands of Tier 3 elite-grade python Kin.
Ye Chen threw them into the second layer of the Abyss along with the God Domain fragments, to keep the snake people company.
On this day, Ye Chen, who was wandering around, finally discovered another resource point.
Judging by its size, it seemed to be a floating small world.
In the Great World, various resource points or small worlds would often "refresh" and appear.
If these small worlds could be conquered, the various resources within them could be sealed into blank cards, and the small world itself could be transformed into a God Domain expansion card to enlarge the God Domain area.
Therefore, small worlds were even more valuable than regular resource points; once they appeared, they would inevitably trigger competition from all sides.
This time, Ye Chen's luck seemed quite good; this small world was extremely complete and seemed to have never been discovered before.
Ye Chen didn't hesitate to open the Abyss towards it, preparing to conquer this world.
As soon as the God Domain passage was established, Cain led the Blood Bats, Demons, and Worm Army, surging into the small world like a black tide.
This group of Demons belonged to the two hundred thousand elite-grade Demons from the Ailan World, given to Cain to enhance his strength.
The moment the God Domain passage was established, in the castle at the center of the small world, the Kobold High Priest seemed to sense an ominous aura coming from the north.
He immediately ordered the Captain of the Royal Guard to dispatch troops to investigate.
After receiving the order, the Captain of the Royal Guard quickly made arrangements.
Teams of kobold warriors, riding tall and mighty Dire Wolves, galloped towards the north to begin their search.
The High Priest gazed at the surging black clouds in the distance, silently praying in his heart that it was a false alarm.
Decades ago, this world did not originally belong to the kobolds but was the territory of powerful Ogres.
Those Ogres not only enslaved the kobolds for labor but also regarded their lives as worthless weeds, occasionally even capturing a few kobolds to serve as food.
For a long time, the kobolds had silently endured this oppression, until the High Priest's fate took a turn.
At that time, the young High Priest, during a mining process, unearthed a dragon egg that had long lost its vitality.
This dragon egg had existed for too long and had already fused with the ore vein.
Although the High Priest didn't know it was a dragon egg, he was inexplicably deeply attracted to it.
He picked up his mining pick and struck the giant egg repeatedly.
Finally, with relentless effort, a crack appeared in the eggshell.
Inside the egg at this point, the egg fluid had long dried up, leaving only a thin layer of dark brown solid at the bottom.
This bit of unknown substance, however, held an irresistible attraction for the High Priest.
He didn't hesitate to scrape it off and swallow it whole.
Unexpectedly, the essence of this dragon egg, which had existed for who knows how many years, produced a miraculous reaction with the kobold's bloodline.
After the High Priest finished digesting it, he broke through racial limitations in one fell swoop, transforming into a Dragonblood Kobold!
His physical fitness was greatly enhanced, fine dragon scales covered his entire body, and a pair of small dragon wings grew on his back.
His strength directly soared to Tier 5!
After becoming a Dragonblood Kobold, the High Priest's intelligence increased significantly, and he also mastered powerful lightning magic.
He first used magic to secretly deal with the Ogre guards in the mine, then gathered all the kobold miners and escaped from this prison.
He led everyone to forge weapons and armor from the iron ore they dug up, rescued one compatriot after another, and formed a powerful army.
Later, the High Priest mixed his blood into clean water and distributed it to the brave fighting kobolds.
The kobolds who drank the blood-water all broke through in strength, advancing to Tier 3 elites.
Subsequently, during a hunting operation, the High Priest successfully conquered the Dire Wolf leader, making it lead its pack to submit.
From then on, a group of elite kobolds gained exclusive mounts, becoming imposing wolf riders.
As the kobold forces grew stronger, the originally scattered Ogre tribes were completely unable to resist and were defeated one by one.
Many Ogres, instead, became slaves to the kobolds; the former master-servant relationship was completely reversed.
Finally, under the High Priest's leadership, the kobolds ruled the entire world and established their own kingdom at the center of the world.
And the mine that changed the High Priest's fate was also continuously excavated and mined by people he sent, leading to new discoveries.
It turned out that there was a huge rock cave inside the mine, hidden within which was a mysterious magic array.
Although he didn't know its purpose, the High Priest tried every possible method to activate it.
He first filled it with energy crystals unique to this world, but the magic array showed no reaction.
Afterwards, he tried various methods, until one time, he dripped his own blood into the magic array.
In an instant, the magic array emitted a faint glow, and the runes on it began to light up one by one.
However, when only twenty percent of the runes were lit, there was no further movement.
The High Priest gritted his teeth and splashed a large amount of fresh blood, but the remaining runes remained dormant.
From this, he deduced that the concentration of his own dragon blood was insufficient to fully activate the magic array.
But since there were no living dragons in the small world, the secret of the magic array could not be deciphered.
Helplessly, the High Priest could only temporarily give up the exploration, sending heavy troops to guard it, hoping for a change to occur.
He didn't wait for a change, but now a sudden turn of events had arrived.
Not a single wolf rider sent out to investigate returned with a message, which confirmed the High Priest's inner unease.
He immediately mobilized the kobold army and the Ogre legion, fully defending the royal city, quietly waiting for the enemy to arrive.
He didn't have to wait long; the vast Abyss Army appeared before his eyes.
Looking at this army that blotted out the sky, the High Priest gasped.
Among his own elite legions, there were only a little over twenty thousand Tier 3 kobolds, and even fewer Ogres, only three thousand.
And the overwhelming human army opposite, more than half of them were Tier 3 elites.
This battle would likely be difficult.
After a moment of contemplation, the High Priest decided to take a risk and rely on his own powerful strength to kill the enemy's commander.
His gaze locked onto a huge, earthy Yellow Wyvern in front.
On the Wyvern's broad back was placed a gilded throne, and upon the throne sat a pale-faced human.
Clearly, this person was the commander of this army.
The High Priest spread the wings on his back and slowly flew towards the opponent, simultaneously shouting loudly:
"Kobold High Priest - Zagor Thunderfang, requests a dialogue!"
Cain watched a strange-looking kobold flying towards him and found it quite interesting.
This world was not powerful, nor was its area large; there were only a million kobolds living here.
For Cain, his own army could take them all down in an instant.
Since this High Priest now wanted a dialogue, he might as well first listen to what he wanted to say.
