Chapter 253 - 253 Hero Altar
253 Hero Altar
The fierce Boiling Goat Monsters felt the drain in energy and strength. The speed at which they swung their hammer was slower.
Some of them even came to a standstill. The troops wasted no time and attacked.
Only now did the Boiling Goat Monsters notice the mages. However, the monsters’ defense was still strong.
Unfortunately, mages were few, while the monsters were many.
The Night Devil Bees attacked from the sky. They shot their stingers at the Boiling Goat Monsters.
The Boiling Goat Monster, who was at a standstill with a warrior, swung its hammer.
Numerous cracks appeared on the sword blocking the hammer, and it shattered into pieces.
The Boiling Goat Monster did not give up. It swung the hammer again and smashed the Scorpion Warrior.
The warrior’s chest was fatally injured due to the impact of the attack.
The Boiling Goat Monster noticed something was wrong. The chest had felt soft like cotton when the hammer had struck.
This was one of the life-saving abilities of the Scorpion Warriors. They could turn as soft as cotton to lower the damage on impact.
“Charge!” Su Wan thought that the time was right for them to charge at full power.
Shi Linglong, Zhao Qingrong, and Lin Yao quickly sent their respective heroes and troops to assist. They were also worried about Su Wan. They knew that she rarely participated in battles.
Su Wan envied her friends. Their heroes were so obedient. They weren’t at all like Xu Yuan.
“Is your dragon being naughty with Ofunai? He didn’t come to fight. He has been holed up in the territory with Ofunai all this while. He is definitely up to something,” Zhao Qingrong said teasingly.
Su Wan was frustrated. He had refused to accompany them and had wanted to stay back with the little butterfly and Ofunai.
“Xu Yuan, do you want to come and help?” asked Su Wan through the shared communication. She hoped he would listen to her and save her the humiliation just this once.
However, Xu Yuan didn’t care. It was just an ore mine. He didn’t think he was needed to defeat a few useless monsters.
Su Wan cursed inwardly when she didn’t receive a response from him. She took out her anger on the Boiling Goat Monsters.
“You filthy, useless animals!” shouted Su Wan. “Kill them all!”
The advancing troops raised their weapons and attacked. Like butchers, they slaughtered the monsters in front of them. The Boiling Goat Monsters were torn limb from limb.
At the same time, numerous poison needles fell from the sky like lightning. The needles pierced one of the Boiling Goat Monsters, injecting its body with poison.
The troops charged in full force. They didn’t hold back.
The Boiling Goat Monsters had immense capability of inflicting physical damage, but now they were scurrying away in fear with nowhere to go.
They could destroy mountains. They could even fight the warriors if they tried. However, they had no solution for the venomous stingers raining down on them from the sky.
A warrior swung his sword in anger. Before the Boiling Goat Monsters could react, the sword split its chest. It fell on the ground.
The Scorpion Warriors stalled the advance of the Boiling Goat Monsters. Finally, they had the upper hand in this fight.
The mages cast their spells to restrict the movement of the Boiling Goat Monsters.
The Night Elves shot their arrows from the back. Su Wan and the others advanced from all sides. With everyone charging from all directions, the monsters were slaughtered easily.
Su Wan killed the leader of the Boiling Goat Monsters, putting an end to the fight.
[Congratulations, Lord Su Wan! You have successfully eliminated the Boiling Goat Monsters and gained victory in this mini-battle. You receive 200 Exp!]
[Congratulations on receiving a Hero Altar blueprint as a reward!]
“I can’t take this!” said Su Wan. They had fought equally in this battle. She didn’t feel it was fair for her to take the reward. Su Wan thought she was already gaining too many resources because her friends had included her in their discovery of the ore mine. Besides, the blueprint was too precious for her to take. People usually paid a lot of money to get a blueprint like that.
“Don’t be silly,” said Zhao Qingrong. “Take it. It’s yours. We’ve gained a lot from you too in the past. It’s only fair that you have this.”
Others felt the same. It was just a blueprint. It couldn’t compare to their friendship. Moreover, the stronger Su Wan became, the more they could bask in her glory.
“We are sisters! Just take it. We’ll distribute the resources equally.”
“That’s right.”
Shi Linglong and Lin Yao agreed as well.
In the end, Su Wan accepted the blueprint gratefully.
The four friends had displayed bravery and perfect teamwork in eliminating the enemies. They felt excited.
The hammers in the hands of the dead Boiling Goat Monsters dissipated.
This was one of the rules of the Overlord Plane. The weapons and equipment of the creatures lost power as they died.
Su Wan and the others didn’t pay attention to this and happily stepped into the ore mine.
The crystals and gems sparkled in the crevices of the mine. They looked beautiful as they reflected the light of the setting sun.
“They are so pretty!”
A system notification appeared.
[Do you wish to conquer this gem mine?]
The mine was first discovered by Zhao Qingrong, so only she could accept the prompt. Su Wan and the others got 230 tons of resources from the mine.
The gem was a necessary material to build the Hero Altar. Su Wan was happy. Today was a good day. She was ready to go back and show off in front of Xu Yuan.
After the fight with the Boiling Goat Monsters, Su Wan realized that she was powerful! In the past, she had never accepted the fact that she could be strong, too.
The four Lords explored the gem mine. When they found no other resources, they did not linger. They returned to their respective territories in satisfaction.
