Lord of Plenty

"Waterspout!"

Six surging streams of water rushed up from the ground, then intertwined in midair, forming an even larger waterspout.

As the waterspout slowly moved, the piles of bones on the ground were like dust sucked up by a vacuum cleaner, and were swept into the air one after another. The blue water and white bones together constructed a strange and terrifying picture in the sky.

As the bone plain on the ground was washed away by the waterspout, a huge bottomless tunnel suddenly appeared on the ground. Looking at the obvious traces of artificial excavation, Kun was full of surprise.

It was not a natural underground cave or underground crack as he thought, but a deep tunnel made of long bricks that looked like wood and stone. The broken walls and ruins around it showed that there were originally buildings on the ground here, but they had been completely destroyed, leaving only this tunnel.

Kun guessed that the blood horror wolves from countless generations ago accidentally discovered this place, and then used it as a fixed nest for their own reproduction. The thick bone plains that were obviously not paved in just a few years or even decades were evidence.

Dawn touched the new scratch on the tunnel. It was called a scratch, but it was actually thicker than his thigh.

"It should be that when the earth dragon forcibly expanded the passage, it collapsed the bone mountain built by the magic wolves. After all, bones will gradually become brittle over time. The weathered bones at the bottom can withstand the weight of the magic wolves, but they can't withstand the ravages of a huge earth dragon. The bone mountain collapsed and became a bone plain, which not only buried the underground entrance, but also wiped out the traces of the earth dragon's actions. No wonder we can't find it no matter how hard we look."

Kun nodded. Dawn's speculation was similar to his, so there was no need to say anything more.

"Let's go, let's go down and take a look."

"Do you think there will be treasures here?"

Kun laughed and said:

"I don't know if there are treasures, but I know there must be an ancient dragon and the blood wolf queen waiting for us below. Be careful, don't get the treasure, but be bitten by the dying monster. That would be too stupid."

With a wave of the magic wand, a ball of light emitting hazy white light jumped and appeared beside Kun, spinning around him like a naughty elf.

"Illumination", an elementary light magic, can provide stable lighting, and the ability to weakly dispel negative energy such as miasma and undead breath, which is not practical.

There are also very few light mages who practice this magic. After all, low-level mages don't have much magic power. Instead of wasting limited magic power on this flashy magic, it is better to carry a magic stone lamp with you.

Kun is different. He has too much magic power and recovers quickly. Even if he releases ten illumination spells in one breath, the magic power consumed is not as much as he recovers in one breath. This consumption can be basically ignored, so Kun never carries any magic stone lamp, and there is not even a magic stone in his storage ring.

Not only light magic, but also water magic, earth magic, and even dark magic, Kun can use them all, without even chanting spells. It looks very powerful, a full-system magician, but it is actually a bluff.

Legendary magicians above the third level can do it, but they can only simulate the elementary magic of each system. It’s just that Kun’s law power is too high, which creates a false impression that he can use all-system magic.

Just like the water tornado he used just now, it looks like that, but it is actually the six elementary "torrent spells" combined together to imitate.

And Kun spent a lot of energy studying these basic magics in order to one day be able to draw inferences from one instance and find the missing air conditioner "condensate", which is the "universal medium" that truly realizes magic.

The research progress is not ideal, but it is normal. If it is so easy to find, it cannot be hidden for so long. Countless generations of wise wizards in the entire magic world have all ignored it intentionally or unintentionally, and even do not have the most basic concept, as if it does not exist in this world at all.

Before entering, Kun did not throw a few more fireballs into the tunnel. Since the blood horror wolf regards this place as its own nest, there will be no air circulation problems. Even the possible defenses and magic traps have probably been dismantled by the blood horror wolf.

After entering the underground tunnel, Kun's position in the team remained unchanged. He was at the core of the team. Because no one could predict what dangers were ahead, it was no longer Dawn who took the lead, but two warriors holding magic stone lamps and mainly responsible for defense.

However, the magic stone lamp, which is the size of a water cup and only half the size of a normal lantern, continuously emits dazzling brilliance, illuminating the passage that is enough to accommodate the three blue-armored bear kings.

Although it is not big, the magic stone lamp is actually very expensive. The kingdom uniformly charges one gold coin per lamp. In terms of cost, the magic stone plus those cheap crystal sheets are only one silver coin at most. The expensive part is the labor. Mage apprentices are required to engrave magic-inspiring runes inside the magic stone lamp. It is the same routine as the magic stone accessories on the clothes of the nobles. It is a business monopolized by the Mage Association.

As everyone went deeper into the underground, the tunnel that was originally spacious enough for everyone to walk hand in hand began to shrink slowly and narrow. Around the wall, there were more and more new scratches left by the claws of the earth dragon. But what was surprising was that no matter how many scratches there were on the wall, they were only a shallow layer and did not penetrate deep into the inner wall of the tunnel to affect the overall structure of the tunnel.

"What material is this underground passage built with? It is so hard that even the claws of the ancient dragon can't penetrate it?"

"Dong Dong Dong~"

With a little curiosity, Kun stretched out his hand and knocked on the tunnel corridor that stretched for hundreds of meters underground. Suddenly, a crisp sound of gold and stone vibration echoed.

"The whole piece of cut mineral raw stone seems to be wrong?"

The touch on the hand is very strange, the touch of chalcedony, like stone, but the sound after knocking is like a hollow drum, very crisp.

"What is this?"

Not caring about the dirt, Kun lay on the wall of the tunnel with excitement on his face. The agate color, translucent stone, with fine patterned annual rings on it, this is definitely the cobalt jade tree known as the ten thousand year wood!

Cobalt jade tree is not the name of a tree, but a kind of existence similar to jade wood, which is the so-called petrified wood.

Ordinary jade wood is a tree buried deep underground. Because of the special preservation environment, it does not rot, but as time goes by, the molecules move, and the cellulose on the wood is slowly replaced by silicon compounds, changing from wood to stone.

The Wannian Wood is a special material formed when trees are immersed in pure elemental liquid and washed by the elements for thousands of years.

Theoretically, as long as the elements in the atmosphere are concentrated to a certain degree, liquid will be formed. If these elemental liquids do not evaporate and continue to infiltrate the surrounding stones, they will become a magic stone vein after tens of millions of years.

The reality is that the magic stone vein cannot be re-bred in a short period of time, and it is impossible to artificially create magic stone veins. Those precious elemental liquids that can only be extracted and gathered by special instruments are diluted by the world all the time, just like Kun in the blue star.

Natural places where elements gather are rare, and cobalt jade trees are even rarer. Such a rare and special material is actually used to make bricks for building houses? Kun didn't know whether to scold those guys who built here for squandering natural resources or to be grateful for their blindness.

"Sir?"

"Ahem, nothing, let's keep going down."

Unlike the earth dragon that was making so much noise that it couldn't be covered up, the cobalt jade tree was originally a legendary material. Apart from Kun, even Dawn, a well-traveled warrior, probably couldn't recognize what these 'long bricks' were.

Wealth is something that should not be exposed if it can be. This underground corridor that can't see the end after walking more than 200 meters is all paved with ten thousand year old wood. Even Kun, a fourth-level great wizard, felt a little hot for a moment.

What is treasure?

This is it.

And this is just a corridor leading to the real treasure. With such a huge harvest, Kun can't help but look forward to the next treasure hunt.

"There is light ahead." A front-row soldier suddenly reminded everyone loudly.

The downward steps were finally completed. After a short platform, everyone came to the gate of the underground ruins. The half-meter-thick granite door had been destroyed long ago, leaving only a small half of the door still standing. The surviving half of the door was embossed with a winged monster. Because of the serious damage, Kun could not tell what the monster on it was.

"Look at the pattern decoration on the edge of this stone door. It is obviously the architectural style of the ancient elves."

The ancient elves, also known as the sun elves and moon elves, are half-elemental and half-flesh life born from the mother tree of life. Like the dragon clan, they are third-level life after adulthood. They have a long lifespan and are naturally powerful. They are not the same race as the existing elves, and the relationship is similar to that between humans and sub-humans.

In the period when the ancient elves ruled the Yongxu Continent, not only the existing elves were classified as sub-elves, but also humans and dwarves were all classified as sub-elves. Their status was the same as that of the current orcs. Those who looked good were captured as slaves, and those who were not good-looking and useless were not even as good as livestock.

A truly powerful civilization is never kind.

"That means we may have discovered a relic from the Elf Empire?"

Everyone was delighted. The Elf Empire was the most glorious civilization in the history of Yongxu Continent. Even the coins handed down from that era were enchanted with anti-counterfeiting magic and had unique numbers, which were of great collection value. If we could find those lost Elf books, magic props, and Empire-standard magic swords here, then this trip would undoubtedly be a great harvest.

"Lord, let's go in quickly..."

Before a warrior with an excited face finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a sword light suddenly attacking him. He didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously raised the magic stone lamp in his hand to block it with his backhand. The weak magic stone lamp was instantly cut in half by the long sword, and the sword also pierced into the warrior's arm. Fortunately, the arm was not cut in half like the magic stone lamp.

"Lucas, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Lucas' eyes were blurred, and he didn't respond to everyone's questions. He just kept muttering:

"Treasure, treasure, all mine, mine..."

Dawn looked serious and ordered:

"Lucas should have fallen into the trap here and was bewitched. Control him first. Be careful not to touch the suspicious items on him. Go."

Just as the soldiers of the guards surrounded the crazy Lucas little by little, another soldier was caught in the trap. The long sword in his hand chopped at the team members around him without warning. Fortunately, Dawn was watching closely this time, and no tragic accident happened. The crazy sneak attacking soldier was subdued by Dawn himself.

The two crazy soldiers who were tied up and even had shoes stuffed in their mouths to prevent themselves from being hurt were pushed in front of Kun by everyone.

"Lord, do you think they are under a spell?"

"It's not "Racial Charm" or "Mental Interference". Their pupils are green. This is a symptom of being possessed by ghosts."

Kun raised his head and looked at the dark corners where the light could not reach. Although he could not see it with his naked eyes, he was sure that there must be countless pairs of green eyes hiding there, looking at them with hatred.

"There are probably quite a few warriors who can possess and enter the ranks. It's really a pillow sent when you are sleepy. Don't think of running away. All of you should stay and make contributions to this lord."

Kun's mouth curled up a sneer. Ghosts are the negative mental power left by the tragically dead creatures. Don't feel sorry for these things. They are just a collection of negative mental power and cannot represent their existence before they died.

Moreover, these despicable beings would never dare to attack the existence that killed them, even if they became ghosts. They would only wait until the murderer left before attacking innocent passers-by.

Reaching out and taking out a shriveled gray-white seed from the space ring, Kun threw it on the ground casually.

"Life Magic—"Growing Vine"!"

As the green magic circle took shape in an instant, countless emerald green vines instantly emerged from the shriveled seeds, densely packed like weaving a large emerald green net in the entire space, and then countless white flower buds grew on the vines.

Xiao Qiaoer felt that these buds were very cute, so he wanted to get closer to take a closer look, and the white buds happened to bloom at this moment.

"Kacha", Xiao Qiaoer suddenly dodged, sweating profusely as he looked at those white flowers that were originally fresh and cute, but now hideous and terrifying, with fangs. His nose was almost bitten off just now.

Is this a flower?

The whole space is filled with these white magic flowers that keep opening and closing and biting the air, like a group of demons dancing wildly. Xiao Qiaoer has only dreamed of this terrifying and absurd scene in nightmares.

Kun smiled and comforted the people who were frightened.

"Don't be afraid. These white nightmare flowers only look scary. They can only bite spirits and pose no threat to physical beings. They are really just flowers. Even if you get bitten, you won't even break the skin. Well, it's healed now."

First, the strange-looking white flowers withered instantly, and then the green vines withered one by one. Plants born from life magic are like this. Once the magic supply is cut off, they will die immediately. There is also more than half a bottle of white fine sand in Kunshou's crystal bottle.
