Chapter 1184: I’m Here to Save You (Just Kidding!)
The Vein Land Imp was a much more precious strategic resource than Wendy and Rising Lizard.
Moreover, this Land Imp’s natural skill Metal Growth could multiply metal while increasing its power.
In the future, Lin Yuan would only need to obtain a small amount of any metal spiritual ingredient he needed, and he would not have to worry about lacking in that specific metal spiritual ingredient again.
As of now, the metal spiritual ingredient he lacked the most was Floating Silver, which could obscure a space and defend against prying eyes.
If he could gain control of the Land Imp, he would not have to search for Floating Silver anymore doggedly.
While Lin Yuan studied the Vein Land Imp, he noticed that it was sniffing excitedly as though it had discovered something extremely interesting.
Lin Yuan thought, Could there be an undiscovered mineral vein somewhere in this area?
If a mineral vein remained untapped, its aura would stay sealed, and only the Vein Land Imp would be able to sense it.
It would not be easy for spirit qi professionals to use feys to uncover mineral veins, and it usually only happened by chance or due to a miracle.
Resources were scarce on the outskirts of the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation.
Lin Yuan could not be sure about the Iron Hammer Federation as he had never been there, but there was only one small town at the edge of the Divine Wood Federation that could not even afford to sustain one Class 1 Creation Master.
As such, it was possible that a mineral vein in this area would remain undiscovered.
The Vein Land Imp subtly glanced at an area not far off before looking back in amusement at the members of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps and Sincere Merchant Group that were currently surrounded by the subterranean lifeforms.
It was as though these people were nothing more than toys to the Vein Land Imp.
Lin Yuan calmly stroked Genius’ soft fur, and Genius was also a picture of composure.
Meanwhile, panic had fully taken hold of Luo Ya.
The two balls of mud obstructed the Cold Winged Wind Dragonfly and Mist Reverse Poison Moth, and any movement on the two feys’ part would be closely shadowed by the balls of mud.
The Class 4 Land Imp was as powerful as a Platinum fey, and Luo Ya dared not order the Mist Reverse Poison Moth and Cold Winged Wind Dragonfly to defend against the Land Imp’s attack as it would either result in their deaths or them sustaining grievous injuries.
Even if the Mist Reverse Poison Moth and Cold Winged Wind Dragonfly could still fly in their injured states, they would not be able to outrun the Fungus Bats and Stone Status Monsters.
The entire scene plunged into despair as the subterranean lifeforms flowing out of the pinnacle Class 2 dimensional rift were like an unfolding disaster.
Only the gods had the ability to overcome disasters, and mere mortals were destined to die.
Although the Cold Winged Wind Dragonfly and Mist Reverse Poison Moth were blocked by the balls of mud and could no longer attack Fu Di, he did not feel relaxed.
He was the only spirit qi professional besides Luo Ya, who had summoned a Gold fey.
Since the Land Imp could not sense the Diamond/Fantasy Genius, Fu Di appeared to be the strongest person present.
However, both he and the Bite Flesh Vine were surrounded by subterranean lifeforms.
The ground beneath his feet gave way, and he almost fell into the hole that had suddenly appeared.
If not for the Bite Flesh Vine using its vine to grab hold of his arm, he would have fallen in.
Just as the Bite Flesh Vine was about to pull Fu Di out of the hole, an even larger hole opened up beneath the Bite Flesh Vine.
Both the Bite Flesh Vine and Fu Di tumbled into the hole.
A moment later, the hole started to close up.
Fu Di and the Bite Flesh Vine started to thrash frantically, and he screeched, “Luo Ya! Save me! If you save me, I’m willing to use the Bite Flesh Vine to protect the Mist Reverse Poison Moth and Cold Winged Wind Dragonfly! I’ll be your servant, and I’ll never defy you ever again! Save me, please!”
Luo Ya looked elated to hear Fu Di’s desperate cries.
Despite clearly having no intention of saving him, she said, “Hold on! I still have a fey that I haven’t summoned! Tell the Bite Flesh Vine to reach out of the hole, and I’ll use my fey to pull you up!”
She sneered and thought, Fu Di, do you think you’re worthy of being my servant? It’s child’s play for a Class 1 Creation Master like me to find a servant with a Gold fey. There are so many of you out there.
Not only did Luo Ya look down on Fu Di, but she also subscribed to the belief that only dead men told no tales.
If she saved him, there would always be the possibility of him saying something wrong, and she would not always be there to stop him with brute force.
As Fu Di continued to plead from within the hole, Luo Ya matched her tone to sound urgent and exerted.
Fu Di did as she said and instructed the Bite Flesh Vine to reach out of the hole. He also summoned the Silver Steel Thread Vine to slam against the hole to slow down the rate at which the hole was closing.
Additionally, Fu Di took out a long knife and hacked at the underground thorns in spite of the injuries he had already sustained.
The Land Imp’s strategy was to eliminate the biggest threat present, and it was already set on killing Fu Di.
However, the Land Imp treated Fu Di’s instructions to the Bite Flesh Vine to reach out of the hole as a provocation.
The Land Imp became more insistent on ending Fu Di’s life, so he and his two feys soon drew their last breaths inside the hole.
Now that Fu Di was dead, Luo Ya let out a sigh of relief.
She had noticed that the middle-aged man and elderly man she had seen in the tent had summoned pinnacle Silver feys and had forced the leaderless Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps out toward the wall of subterranean lifeforms.
Luo Ya was now resigned to the fact that this place was about to become her burial ground, and all she wanted to do now was die by Lin Yuan’s side with him thinking that she had a clean slate.
As such, she hoped that all the members of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps would die even more than she hoped to survive this disaster.
She had already come up with an excuse to explain her abandonment of Fu Di.
