Arriving at the quadrangle courtyard, Rainbow sensed David’s presence well in advance and was already waiting at the door before he arrived.? Bernard stood there respectfully, awaiting the arrival of David and his queen.
Before long, the three figures of David appeared from the void.? Rainbow, with a clang, flew over and excitedly circled around David.? This surprised David, as he knew that all four flying swords had already recognized him as their master.? But Rainbow’s excitement was something he had never seen before.
So, David reached out his palm, and Rainbow promptly landed on it.? Feeling the warmth emanating from Rainbow’s blade, David suddenly understood.? Long-term companionship with Bernard had increased Rainbow’s intelligence considerably.? This made it appear childlike, getting incredibly excited whenever it saw its master approaching.
“Bernard, well done!”? Amidst his astonishment, David couldn’t help but praise Bernard, who was standing respectfully nearby.
Bernard, who was standing there respectfully, suddenly heard David’s praise and was momentarily taken aback.? Then, an excited smile appeared on his face.? Although he didn’t know why David was praising him, receiving praise from David meant he was doing something right.
This only solidified Bernard’s determination to be a competent gatekeeper.? After a quick tour of the quadrangle courtyard, David took Viola and Emlyn back to the wasteland world.? After all, the Zerg had not yet displayed their true strength, and he needed to strike first before they launched an attack.
David knew that the destruction of the Dark City must have been known to the Zerg.? Since they had become the most powerful force in the wasteland world, they must have guessed David’s intentions.? And David was not one to wait around.? David had to hold a knife to their necks before they raised their swords against David.
Upon returning to the Dark City, David had Viola issue orders for all members of the Kui tribe to mobilize and enter the western territory of the Zerg.? He did this because he wanted to assess the hidden strength of the Zerg.
Although David had seen the enormous and formidable Zerg King with his own eyes, its true power had not been revealed.? David needed to gather information because knowing one’s enemy was one of his survival principles.? Those Kui tribe members he sent out served as his scouts.
Viola didn’t hesitate to agree with David’s decision.? She was already devoted to David, and the leadership of the Kui tribe naturally rested in David’s hands.? Even if David sent her alone into the Zerg’s territory, Viola felt she wouldn’t hesitate.? In her heart, David was a figure comparable to a deity.
As all the members of the Kui tribe headed towards the Zerg’s territory, David instructed Emlyn to return to the spear and gave him three days.? In that time, Emlyn had to integrate the aura of the evil ghost properly and shed his infantile form.? Emlyn understood that David’s next opponent was the Zerg.
Without a second thought, Emlyn dove into the spear and began his training.? With Mandy not by his side anymore, David’s only helpers were Viola and Emlyn.
Compared to Viola, Emlyn’s combat power was significantly stronger.? So, before the major battle began, David had to help Emlyn complete his transformation into a formidable weapon.
At the same time, David, accompanied by Viola, followed the Kui tribe members and arrived at the territory occupied by the Zerg.? Memories of the first time he stumbled into this place crossed his mind.”
“David felt that this place had become even more desolate.? Not only was the yellow sand blowing everywhere, but the strong winds never seemed to stop.? The sand and wind felt like knives cutting into one’s skin, causing a sharp, stinging pain.? The atmosphere here also grew increasingly hostile, as if thousands of super-powered beasts were surviving in this area.? Hostility hung in the air, even obscuring the moon in the night sky.
Feeling the frigid and hostile air around her, Viola instinctively moved closer to David.? It was her first time in this place, and the unsettling scene and thick hostility made her nervous.? Her breathing became heavy, as if countless knives were twisting in her throat.
Seeing Viola’s painful expression, David quickly created a pocket of void space next to her, allowing her to breathe normally.
“This place is terrifying, even a hundred times scarier than the Kui tribe’s territory!”? Viola said with a frightened expression after taking a deep breath.
David silently nodded.? He had felt an invisible pressure as soon as he entered this area.? It was as if countless insects were descending from the sky, making it difficult to breathe.? Fortunately, David was at level 12, so he could withstand this pressure.? However, it was tough on the members of the Kui tribe.
So, David immediately created void spaces for all Kui tribe members, enveloping them in void to allow them to breathe and move normally.? With Viola, David continued forward.? When they reached a hill, David’s brow suddenly furrowed, and he stopped in his tracks.
“What’s wrong?”? Viola noticed David’s expression and asked quickly.
“There’s something unusual,” David said softly, then looked toward a massive cave behind the hill.? Compared to the Zerg King’s lair, this cave was noticeably smaller.? However, the soil above the cave gleamed with a metallic hue.? Even the land surrounding the cave emitted a dim metallic glow.
This puzzled David.? If he wasn’t mistaken, this was undoubtedly a Zerg nest, but why did the soil here look like this?
Following David’s gaze, Viola also immediately noticed this strange nest, but she had no idea about its significance. 𝘦.𝘰𝘳𝑔
After pondering for a moment, David took out the bronze compass from his pocket.? After rotating the pointers clockwise a few times, Clive’s run-down wooden house appeared behind him.? Clive seemed to have sensed something unusual here and walked out of the house even before David could speak.
“Why are you here?”? Clive asked David as he saw him.
David remained calm and pointed to the strange nest.? Seeing the nest, Clive’s expression darkened instantly.? After thinking for a moment, he said to David, “This is the nest of the Devouring Demon Centipedes.”
With that, Clive’s face became even darker, and he continued, “Devouring Demon Centipedes?”? Hearing this name, David was instantly puzzled.”
