King from scratch

After his words, the noisy voice disappeared, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky brightened up again.

Hovering in the air, Ole King raised his head subconsciously. After the darkness that obscured his vision disappeared, the scenery farther away came into his sight.

That was a scene that no one had ever seen before, the true appearance of the anger brewing in the entire kingdom.

There are numerous creatures all over the sea, beach and even land, familiar, strange, unseen, and extinct underwater creatures emerge one after another.

There are so many of them that they can cover the surface of the sea, and their types are so rich that even Ole King cannot distinguish them completely. Still recognizable.

"Father God," Ole King muttered to himself.

The reason why Ole King can remain calm is because these marine creatures are not amphibians, they cannot leave the ocean, which to some extent ensures the safety of everyone present.

But when Ole Jin's sight fell in front of him again, his composure disappeared in an instant.

Although marine life cannot go ashore, the sea is only a part of the entire kingdom. The kingdom is vast enough and far more magical than people imagine.

The creatures gushing out from the mouth of the collapsed cave were both familiar and unfamiliar to Ole King.

Familiarity lies in the fact that it was once famous, and everyone in this continent knows everyone.

Strangeness lies in the fact that it has been too long since its famous era. As a race that was exterminated by intelligent creatures because of danger, it has no reason to reappear.

The out-of-control situation regained control in the power of the king.

The iron-eating ants pouring out of the cave were also quiet, only the sound they made when they crawled was still in my ears, bringing distant memories.

Iron-eating ants are not ants. To be precise, they are reptiles that live in underground caves. They are good at digging holes and can eat anything. Soil, plants, meat and even metal are all on their diet.

Iron-eating ants are small in size and low in combat effectiveness, with a single-unit strength of only 0.3. Even normal adult human males have higher single-unit strength than them.

But the problem is that their ability to survive is the most powerful of all known creatures. They can survive in magma, crawl under severe cold, and survive even if they are divided into two halves.

Even more unfortunate, iron-eating ants never appear in numbers of one or two, they are gregarious creatures, herds of whole populations that come together.

It will not be scattered, and there is no possibility that someone will encounter another group of iron-eating ants in the endless forest at the same time as the human kingdom encounters iron-eating ants.

Because there is only one group of iron-eating ants in the whole world.

So when you see an iron-eating ant, that means you're going head-on with a whole colony of iron-eating ants.

Most of the races with weak individual strength have extremely strong reproductive ability.

This means that the number of iron-eating ant populations encountered head-on may be in the hundreds of millions.

This is not a false finger, as a creature that lives underground, has no shortage of food, gathers the entire population and has a strong reproductive ability, their number often exceeds the imagination of intelligent creatures.

When there are only hundreds or thousands of iron-eating ants, there are still creatures that can hunt them.

But when the unit of quantity of iron-eating ants becomes [-], the concept of natural enemies no longer exists.

Even Ole Jin, who is a dragon, will retreat in front of the iron-eating ants.

After the number of iron-eating ants reaches a certain limit, the amount of food they need will also exceed a certain limit. Even if it is not for their original intention, it will cause devastating consequences to the places they pass.

This is why it became extinct.

In order to obtain more food, the iron-eating ants multiplied wantonly on the top of the mountains, and they came fiercely, posing a great threat to the dwarf kingdom that had not yet been divided.

So the Dwarf Kingdom invited the most powerful forces on the mainland at that time, including humans, elves, mages, and dragons, to join forces to encircle and suppress the iron-eating ants, and finally eradicate them completely.

This siege ended with the extinction of the iron-eating ants, but its influence has continued to this day.

Several major mine veins in the dwarf kingdom were devoured, and the three main mountain ranges on the top of the mountains collapsed. The traces left by the iron-eating ants spanned the entire top of the mountains, causing thousands of wounds in the belly of countless mountains on the top of the mountains. Hundred holes.

As the main battlefield of the dwarf kingdom, the mechanical legion that once shocked the world was wiped out in this siege, and the dwarf kingdom that lost its mineral veins could not reproduce the mechanical legion—this is the main reason for the gradual decline of the dwarf kingdom.

In the end, the dwarf kingdom came to a fragmented ending.

And this is based on the premise that the dwarves have built a rigorous and seamless military facility on the top of the mountains.

In the most powerful era of dwarves, the dwarf kingdom was known as an impenetrable fortress. Under the protection of countless machinery and defense facilities, it had the confidence to defy all kingdoms on the mainland.

Iron-eating ants destroy all of this.

And now, it's reappearing.

Anuta appraised the cave cautiously, and glanced over the palm-sized iron-eating ants with scales. Thin, dense, sharp teeth and sharp claws are their typical signs.

They crawled on the ground, building a barrier between the king and outsiders.

In the short, inexplicable silence, Ole Jin, who was hovering in the air, spoke first: "I seem to have come to the wrong place, you go on, I still have something to do..."

"You came to the wrong party," He Xingwen interrupted him: "If I guessed correctly, you are a member of the expedition team contacted by Ai Zhijin?"

Ole Jin glanced at Anuta who was standing among the iron-eating ants.

Anutha cut in to introduce them.

"A golden dragon traveling in the mainland, Ole King."

"King, initiator and organizer of the expedition."

Ole Jin narrowed his copper-bell-sized eyes and stared at the young human king: "The flower of hope in the land of death, Ai Zhijin's description is always so apt. It's really an impressive welcome ceremony."

"This is not a welcoming ceremony."

He Xingwen corrected his words and said kindly: "This is the consequence of your actions."

"Gudong" There was a loud swallowing sound from Ole King's throat.

He hovered in the air for two seconds thinking about what would happen if he turned his head and walked away.

Iron-eating ants can't fly...

Ole Jin glanced at the small and fragile creatures on the ground. It is true that iron-eating ants cannot fly, but when their number reaches a certain level, there is actually no difference between the air and the ground.

Because they drown everything.

But being able to fly is always more advantageous than walking on the ground.

Ole Jin had a small plan to turn his head and run away, but Anuta made a sound in time to dispel the idea that this might lead to further deterioration of the situation.

"Because before that, they didn't know you and your kingdom." Anuda said: "But now, I believe they all respect you and your kingdom enough."

He Xingwen glanced at the druid who built a fortress with plants.

The plants shrank, as if time went backwards. The vibrant plants turned back into seeds, revealing Lincoln who was covered by the plants. He retracted the seeds, bent slightly towards He Xingwen, and ran all the way along the steps of Anudati: "I respect Your arrangements for all living things in your kingdom."

This is the truest portrayal of this world, where the weak prey on the strong.

All respect comes from your strength, not from moral constraints—to be precise, the morals of this world are different from the moral definitions of the earth.

The morality recognized by the human beings on the earth is only applicable to the earth.

Crossing the distance between two worlds, it is undoubtedly a very presumptuous idea to ask a different world that has been reborn from despair to abide by the morals of the earth.

Therefore, He Xingwen does not force everyone to abide by the morals he abides by. He just uses his strength to formulate the rules that should be followed on the kingdom's territory.

He Xingwen looked down at the iron-eating ants on the ground. Unlike the sub-bears, they did not bring him any sense of danger, and he did not find the reason why Lincoln and Ole King were facing enemies.

After the kingdom's anger subsided, the iron-eating ants did not return to the ground—it was not that He Xingwen ordered them to stay where they were, but that they had no intention of going back.

He Xingwen: "What is this?"

Before Lincoln and Ole King could react, Anuta took the lead in explaining: "The iron-eating ant is an omnivorous reptile that lives in groups, and its individual strength is around 0.3."

Ole King lowered slowly and landed on the ground.

In appearance, he is a very typical western dragon.

Fat belly, long wings, short front paws and hind paws enough to support a huge body, and a long neck.

He landed on the ground where there were no iron-eating ants, but when he stretched his neck, he leaned in front of Anuta, and the airflow he exhaled during the conversation messed up Anuta's hair.

"It's really a new world bordering us." He turned his head, and put his head in front of He Xingwen again: "Since you don't know iron-eating ants, why did they resurrect in your territory?"

Anuta wiped the spittle off his face, and continued his unfinished sentence: "This is a creature that is extremely dangerous because of its large number."

He Xingwen took a step back to avoid his spit: "No one knows the answer to this question..." He paused for a moment and asked Ole King, "Are you very interested?"

Ole King shrank his head back - a rare display of self-knowledge that dragons don't often have.

Of course, Ole King believes that any human being in the presence of iron-eating ants will spontaneously develop all kinds of human virtues that they do not have.

"It's amazing," Ole Jin glanced 'covertly' at the phoenix on He Xingwen's shoulder with his gong eyes: "After all, many races have been extinct in a long time..."

He took a sip of saliva, and after persisting for 2 minutes, his nature was exposed: "The one on your shoulder... looks like a phoenix."

He Xingwen glanced at the golden phoenix on his shoulder, and reached out to hug it down. Ole Jin stared at him closely, watching him let go of his hand, and the phoenix flew high towards the forest. , he almost flew up with flapping wings.

Before doing so, the iron-eating ants all over the ground made him restrain his impulse—then he moved a few steps aside, and stood on the ground without iron-eating ants again.

"There seem to be more and more iron-eating ants on the ground." Lincoln interjected in time, bringing back the topic of wandering.

Just like those grasses, he couldn't establish contact with these iron-eating ants, and the creatures in this kingdom rejected him.

He Xingwen: "You woke it up."

That sounds like a backlash.

But Anuta had no intention of arguing this point. He looked at the black area that could not stop spreading, and realized that the underground iron-eating ants were still pouring out. Obviously, before no one knew, its scale had already reached a certain level. A staggering number.

"It's very dangerous," Anuta reminded the king: "They need enough food. After the number reaches the peak, they will not leave a single inch of land." Don't say that no grass will grow, even the soil will not be left .

He Xingwen felt that they seemed to have misunderstood something.

"I'm not a druid." He Xingwen said frankly, "I don't have the ability to communicate with wild beasts."

Amidst the sound of vibrations, the Asian bear carrying a metal box slowly approached from a distance.

"Father God, a live adult Asian bear?"

Ole King let out an exclamation, and moved small steps aside to make way for the Asian bear who was about the same size as him.

Anuta glanced at Yaxiong who had become a tool man, and then fell on He Xingwen again.

"Then what are you going to do with them?" Anuta reminded the king friendly: "They are not only very dangerous to us, but also to your kingdom."

"When their number grows beyond what your kingdom can bear, your kingdom will be the first to face the disasters brought by them."

"They'll eat whole kingdoms."

He Xingwen glanced at the crawling iron-eating ants.

The system spoke at the right time, and he was very sure of it: "They won't do that."

"reason?"

After being slightly taken aback, Anuta realized that this was not a question to him, but a question from the king to another unknown creature.

"Because, you are the master of the kingdom." Perhaps because he knew how many times he had answered He Xingwen with this sentence, this time the system added an extra sentence: "You created the kingdom."

"And it's part of the kingdom."

He Xingwen found the problem: "But it is an extinct creature in this world."

The system doesn't deny it: "Obviously, this is one of those few questions we still don't have an answer for."

"But at least I am sure that your people obey you, your kingdom belongs to you, you are the ruler of the kingdom, and the only master of the kingdom."

These words are vague, exaggerated and excessive, like some kind of vocabulary abused in a game to make players spend money, it is difficult to make people feel a sense of real emotion.

Especially in the beginning, when the kingdom only had two NPCs and didn't even have a village, it was more like some kind of over-promoted advertising slogan, false and powerless.

Even now, it still looks extremely exaggerated, out of place in a kingdom with only two cities.

But who knows, whether this exaggerated vocabulary is really just an exaggeration, rather than an appropriate description?

He Xingwen ended his simple conversation with the system and turned his attention back to his eyes.

"Obviously, everything that happened in the kingdom cannot be deduced according to common sense." He Xingwen trusted the system, as always.

"Since you are here to form an expedition, we can discuss this."

He Xingwen glanced at Ole King's huge body, thought for two seconds whether the other party could enter the main city, and came to the conclusion that he should be able to land on the square in the center of the city, then turned around and walked towards the main city go.

"You just leave these iron-eating ants alone?" Ole Jin glanced at the spreading black area on the ground, and felt that the other party's choice was like choosing slow suicide.

"Obviously, the king has his own way."

Lincoln rationally thought about the distance from here to the Everlasting Forest, and under the thought that even if he suffers, the human king will suffer first, he quickly gave up unnecessary worries and followed He Xingwen's footsteps.

"I don't think the king will let the worst happen."

The only reliable Anuta present comforted Ole Jin: "The kingdom has been creating miracles, so you can trust the king's ability."

"I'm the only one worrying about co-authoring?"

Dragon Island is located in the South China Sea. In terms of distance and sense of security, it is much better than the endless forest next to the Land of God's Fall.

Ole Jin patted his wings, flew into the air again, and followed He Xingwen's footsteps.

Before Anuta took a step, he turned his head to look at the black area that was still spreading, and frowned.

"Damn it! What the hell is that?"

"What a big golden dragon!"

"Why is it the Western Dragon? It doesn't look mighty at all..."

"Do you have the ability to say it again in front of it?"

"Glittering gold, it looks rich."

"Dragon finally appeared in this broken game. When the map was introduced to Dragon Island, I began to look forward to it. Will there finally be dragon-related quests?"

"The king has brought back a dragon?"

"Why did this dragon fly towards the main city? The main city does not allow players to enter now."

"It's just to avoid the players. I suspect that the plot of planning has not finished yet."

"It's a dragon..."

"You said in this game, is it possible to have a dragon knight or something?"

"Then I'm going to explode!"

Until the figure of Ole Jin disappeared from sight, the players still looked in that direction reluctantly.

Ole King stood in the center of the square and looked around curiously. NPCs were busy with various tasks, turning a blind eye to a golden dragon.

"There are so few people." Ole King concluded.

Considering that Ole Jin could not enter the conference hall, this conversation was held in the city center, not far from the altar.

Ole King's eyes wandered over the altar, attracted by its radiant architectural surface.

"Do you believe in gods?"

"Obviously not."

Ole King took small steps, stretched his neck, and approached the altar.

As the most magnificent building in the entire kingdom, the altar combines divinity and magnificence, shining with a style of painting that is different from that of the entire kingdom.

Ole King stretched out his front paws, and slammed the gleaming gemstone on the top of the altar...it didn't slam.

Ole King glanced at his claws, then at the human building in front of him, back and forth, very unbelievable.

He is a dragon!

This is simply an insult to him.

He stretched out his claws again, and the two claws grabbed the top of the building together, trying to overturn the building in one go, proving his strength.

But even though he was furious, the altar remained untouched, peaceful as if it was integrated with the world.

Anuta reminded the other party: "Destroying national public property is a violation of the kingdom's laws."

Ole King, who changed his posture to compete with the altar, pretended that he didn't hear anything.

Anuta continued: "There are at least three demons who died directly because they violated this law."

Ole Jin withdrew his claws, as if he had just heard what Anuta said, and asked in surprise: "Your kingdom still has demons?"

He Xingwen: "The Kingdom welcomes all intelligent creatures, as long as they abide by the laws of the Kingdom."

Lincoln, who was watching quietly, interjected: "Death directly? As far as I know, demons are not a race that can be easily killed."

Ole King put his paws in his mouth, put his huge head between them, and inserted forcefully into the conversation: "Obviously, the king has a secret weapon that can kill with one blow."

He sprayed another pile of spittle, but this time it was blocked by a plant that opened its branches in time before it fell on Lincoln's face.

Lincoln's voice came from under the net of branches and vines: "Then you should pay more attention to your behavior, don't forget, you are stepping on the king's territory."

"Then," Ole King calmly skipped the topic, "let's talk about business."

"The lost treasure of the dwarf kingdom?"

Ole Jin stared at the small human with golden pupils the size of a gong: "Ai Zhijin told me that you have obtained the permission of the dwarves?"

He tilted his neck, and the huge shadow moved with it.

Words spit out from his mouth.

"Qiuyuan Tribe? Dongnulie Family? Dwarf Elder Group? Which dwarf force allowed it?"

"The dwarves have never admitted that there are treasures in the dwarf kingdom," Ole King muttered in a low voice, "Don't you be fooled by some dwarf?"

"This kind of permission is not just what anyone says."

He Xingwen was surprised by Olei Jin's focus: "I thought you didn't care about these things."

"You think I'm stupid? Can an unreliable license find something?" Ole Jin stared, and began to suspect that the person in front of him was a liar: "Back then, the black dragon searched the entire mountain peak, and there was still nothing. I didn’t find it. If there is no reliable news this time, I won’t participate.”

In fact, He Xingwen really has no reliable news...

But even without these, the judgment from the system is far more reliable than reliable news.

Anunda interjected: "The king's permission comes from Andysu King."

"This name sounds familiar..." Ole Jin repeated it several times, remembering the reason for the familiarity: "The descendant of the Xishan dwarf king? The main combat faction in the dwarf elders?"

He Xingwen interrupted the conversation: "Sounds like he's famous?"

"Of course." Ole Jin proudly showed off his knowledge: "As the most prestigious young leader among the dwarves, he is very famous for his attitude towards war—be prepared for war, at the time of the life and death of the dwarves."

Lincoln interjected: "If it had been him, the license would obviously have been very strong."

Ole Jin wandered his mind and realized: "But in this case, he should be the organizer and initiator of the expedition. Why is the human king initiating this expedition?"

In the silence where no one answered, Ole King came to a conclusion: "He joined the human kingdom?"

Lincoln subconsciously opposed this guess: "Impossible."

"It's said that the Druid's mind is not very bright, and it seems that they are right." Ole Jin leaned over, stared at Lincoln and said, "This is the only reason that can be explained."

Lincoln: "So, you mean, the dwarves have betrayed the kingdom of the dwarves?"

"The dwarf kingdom has been gone for many years, and it has betrayed the dwarf kingdom."

Ole Jinxu muttered: "This can only be called, the dwarves' brains finally came to light, and they knew that reunifying the dwarf kingdom is impossible at all, so they settled for the next best thing and chose to leave the last card for the dwarves. "

"Human king, let's talk about the reward."

After Ole King confirmed that the commission was reliable, he couldn't wait to change the subject—he didn't have any in-depth interest in whether Adisseo King joined the human kingdom.

In fact, he didn't care about anything other than treasures at all, let alone the smoke of war.

Even if the entire continent is caught in the flames of war, it is impossible to have an impact on the Dragon Clan.

As one of the most powerful races known so far, the Dragon Island located in the South China Sea is separated from the major powers in the mainland. The geographical location of the Dragon Island and the established fact that the number of dragons are rare ensured that they are enough to stay out of the matter.
