Because the Dark Dragon wanted to kill David, all the zombie creatures in the Dark City were taken away from the city to achieve that goal.? As a result, only a few zombie guards remained within the city.
Mandy charged in and swiftly dispatched these zombies with her knife.? Now, the once bustling Dark City had become completely deserted.
At this moment, the Dark City was no longer one of the three major forces in the wasteland world.? This city had become a territory under David’s control.? Observing the tall city walls and sturdy structures around him, David nodded in approval.
It had to be said that the Dark City’s Three Brothers were indeed skilled builders.? However, now all their efforts belonged to David.? After familiarizing himself with the city’s layout, David began to take inventory of the city’s resources.? Following the instructions of the bronze compass, he arrived at a metal door on the right side of the main hall.
David tugged lightly, easily breaking a thick iron chain as thick as an adult’s finger.? He pushed open the iron door, and a dazzling light poured out.? Inside the room, piles of pronuclei were stacked—some were basic, others advanced, and some were even multicolored.
Seeing so many pronuclei, Viola couldn’t help but open her mouth wide.? Even the treasures her Kui tribe had collected for a long time wouldn’t amount to this.
David was also somewhat surprised.? He hadn’t expected the three brothers to leave him so many gifts.? Right in front of Viola, David unhesitatingly collected these pronuclei into his system’s storage.? His attention was drawn to the multicolored pronuclei.
The system’s voice sounded in his ear:
[Black Pronucleus: Supreme Defense Pronucleus, increases defensive capabilities of strongholds and bases by fifty percent.]
[Green Pronucleus: Supreme Healing Pronucleus, restores sixty percent of the host’s health within ten seconds.]
[Purple Pronucleus: Supreme Psionic Pronucleus, enhances the host’s psionic abilities.]
Listening to the system’s explanations of these colorful pronuclei, David nodded repeatedly.? He hadn’t anticipated that the wasteland world contained Supreme Pronuclei that surpassed advanced ones.? What’s more, these pronuclei’s functions weren’t just for assisting espers in leveling up;? they also enhanced the power of other facilities and abilities.
This was quite unexpected for David.? It was evident that the Dark City’s Three Brothers must have used these Supreme Pronuclei to build this city and even amplify the power of their own abilities.
With everything from this place entering David’s metaphorical pocket, he also discovered a large amount of jerky and other supplies for daily life.? However, compared to the pronuclei, these items had much less appeal to David.
After a few more rounds, David had thoroughly grasped the layout of the entire Dark City.? He had also made a decision—to relocate his base here.? After all, his current base had been chosen almost haphazardly.
Having this ready-made city was a good choice for him.? Furthermore, this location was free of Zerg influence.? When he would eventually clash with the Zerg, he could use this territory as a flexible rear base for both offense and retreat.
David looked at Viola and pondered for a moment before saying to her, “I’m going to move my base into this city.? If you’re interested, you can relocate the entire Kui tribe here.”? He said this because David believed that having the Kui tribe nearby might help him deal with minor troubles he wouldn’t want to personally handle.? For instance, clearing out zombie creatures, standing guard, and even gathering supplies.? This way, he could save a considerable amount of effort.
Upon hearing David’s words, Viola nodded in agreement without hesitation.? After experiencing so much, she had come to see David as someone who could protect her and even her Kui tribe.? If David were to leave them and come here alone, Viola believed that they would quickly be wiped out by the Zerg.? What’s more, she wanted to be by David’s side forever.? With this in mind, Viola’s fair cheeks flushed once again.? After tidying up the area briefly, they returned to the valley.
Before the migration, there was still one thing David had to accomplish: dealing with the other three super beasts in the Beast Forest.? He decided that before leaving, he must eliminate all of them.? So, he instructed Viola to return to the Kui tribe alone and begin preparing the migration plan.? Mandy was left behind at the base to recover.? David, on the other hand, made his way to the Beast Forest alone.
This time, entering the Beast Forest, David appeared confident and familiar.? The corpses of the unfortunate creatures were still strewn all over the place, and the thick scent of blood seemed as if it had never dissipated.? Standing in a clearing, David, who had long grown accustomed to the smell of blood, took out the bronze compass.? As the pointer settled, he gazed towards a lush and verdant woodland in the distance.
“Is it there?”? David inquired, sensing the presence from that direction.
Just then, the system’s voice sounded in his ear:
[Ding!? New task announced! ]
[Kill the remaining three super beasts within ten minutes! ] .
[Reward: 30 fragments of the Wasteland Staff for the host! ]
Hearing the system’s voice, a grave expression crossed David’s face.? He knew that the remaining three super beasts were likely stronger than the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger and The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider.? Furthermore, he had to kill them within ten minutes, which indicated the difficulty of the task.
For the first time, David felt that his system was a bit too demanding.? Wasn’t it essentially urging him to face these beasts head-on?? After calming down, David decided to act promptly.? After all, he had only ten minutes to eliminate the three super beasts.? Bringing them together would save time;? swift and decisive action had always been one of David’s combat principles.
David surveyed his surroundings and quickly came up with a plan.? He soared into the air, repeatedly unleashing the Star River Shattering Fist towards the surrounding forests.? The impact of his fist hitting the ground caused a tremendous roar.? Some hidden creatures in the woods began to howl and flee in panic.
David continued to guide their escape directions, luring them towards a particular woodland.? In a short time, the entire Beast Forest trembled as countless creatures, like mad creatures, dashed towards that woodland.? They seemed to be at the point where even a rustling breeze sent them into a panic, running for their lives.
Soon, over a hundred different types of creatures were driven by David into that woodland.? Seeing these creatures, a cold smile appeared on David’s lips.? He knew the trap was set, waiting for the prey to walk right into it.? At that moment, three extremely fierce roars echoed from three directions within the woodland, reaching David’s ears.
