Chapter 336: A sudden attack at the bottom of the valley of despair

Chapter 336: A sudden attack at the bottom of the valley of despair (Happy May Day!)
[Body of the Abyss] This organization is somewhat special.

Although it was established four hundred years ago, it is little known that the undead race has a long, almost eternal lifespan, and does not have the three major desires of the living.

This leads to all members of this organization being very low-key.

It's so low-key that there isn't even a rumor about it.

Even the three legendary "Undead Kings" in the legends of human countries, the Dragon Dark Night Mage, the Giant Dark Night Mage, and the Shadow King of Terror, were not invited.

Just to avoid attracting attention!

It can be seen that the difficulty of contacting the [Body of the Abyss] is that you can only passively wait for the opponent's members to appear.

"The news of the leader's death" might be a good thing...

This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind. He has now returned to the lava zone, and his plan to recruit Brian was successful.

Given his talent and natural abilities, it's worth recruiting him. The only thing to worry about is that this incident may have a devastating effect on Brian's character.

"The leader wanted to contact the [Body of the Abyss], but he was going in the wrong direction from the very beginning." Tang Zheng thought of what the leader had done and shook his head.

[Body of the Abyss] does not want to attract attention, whether it is the action of "Chiranon" 20 years ago that shocked various countries, or the big commotion it is making in the hilly areas now.

This kind of high-profile behavior is doomed to fail!
Therefore, Tang Zhengcai felt that the spread of the news of "the leader's death" might not be a bad thing.

The authenticity of the leader’s identity is actually not important!

"If we want to lure these people from the Abyss, the only bait we can use is knowledge."

Tang Zheng was thinking as he walked on the hot ground, heading towards the lava sea.

The undead have lost the desires of the living, but this has indirectly made their thirst for knowledge even stronger, especially for some "magical knowledge".

The leader created the "Death Knight" and "Soul Eater", two legendary undead powers, which also spread with the end of the hill incident.

People from [Body of the Abyss] will surely be interested.

"True Dragon King, I don't know which one it is."

Tang Zheng has arrived at the cliff of the lava sea. Looking at the hot lava flowing below, a hint of depth appeared in his eyes.

The most important reason why he wanted to get in touch with the [Body of the Abyss] was because of the True Dragon King who had taken control of the organization.

Such an important clue.

Tang Zheng has no intention of letting it go. Only by obtaining more detailed information can he better understand this unknown True Dragon King and thus avoid or utilize its strength.

"Plop!"
Tang Zheng's figure jumped down from the towering cliff.

Wow!
A pit was sunken on the surface of the semi-liquid red flowing magma, and a large amount of flames spewed out from it.

Tang Zheng was not affected by the high temperature and flames at all. He drilled into the depths of the magma sea and disappeared.

——The Valley of Despair.

The oasis where the human tribe lives.

The dry and sultry climate did not affect the humans who were farming near the oasis water sources.

Seeds are very precious.

In this desolate valley, every seed represents survival and hope.

Yalaer filled two wooden barrels with water from the oasis spring, held one barrel in each hand, and walked carefully to the newly reclaimed farmland.

For each place where seeds are planted, scoop up water with both hands twice to water the plants, without wasting a single drop.

I was busy until noon.

Yalaer straightened her back, stretched out her wheat-colored arms, and wiped the sweat off her cheeks that were stuck to her silver hair.

Seeing the farmland after irrigation, Yalaer smiled happily.

By the time autumn comes, they will surely harvest a lot of food, although they are not short of food now.

The gray dwarves were wiped out, and a lot of grain and food had been transported to their oasis, but who would complain about having too much stored food?

Just had a simple lunch.

As usual, Yarar put on her armor again and patrolled the oasis with a spear in hand. It was a very hard job.

The tribe had a sparse population, and it was the busy farming season, so most of the patrol work had to be done by herself.

Yalaer didn't find it tiring; instead, it was one of the few things in the day that she looked forward to.

It's been half a year.

"Who knows, the hero will come back someday." Yala believed this in her heart, but she was also a little worried.

Will the hero encounter any danger? My grandfather told me that places outside the oasis are full of various unknown dangers.

along the way.

There were people greeting each other everywhere, and Yalaer responded to them one by one.

"Sister Yala." A timid voice came from not far away.

Yalaer stopped and looked at a young man who was running towards her from not far away. He had a gray face and torn clothes.

No one in their tribe was good at making clothes, and there was a lack of such materials. In addition, the climate in the valley was always hot, so most people didn't actually wear much.

The cuffs and hem of the boy's clothes were obviously too big, but they fit him very well. They were obviously from the gray dwarves, and maybe they were stripped from a corpse.

A very common situation.

"Little Nick, what's wrong?" Yarar seemed to be very familiar with the boy. She bent down and spoke with a smile.

"this is for you."

Little Nick spread his hands and took out a fist-sized fruit.

Yalaer rubbed Little Nick's head and took the fruit: "You're welcome, I still have to go on patrol."

"Sister Yala, when will the hero come back?" Little Nick asked hopefully.

The smile on Yalaer's face dimmed a little, and then disappeared in an instant: "Sister doesn't know either, but she will definitely come back."

"Why do you keep asking about this during this period? You should help your aunt cultivate the land and stop thinking about it."

Yala stretched out her finger and lightly touched little Nick's forehead. She smiled brightly on her wheat-colored face, waved her hand, and walked out of the oasis.

Watching Yalaer's back gradually leaving.

The timid look on Little Nick's face disappeared, and his face was filled with coldness and disgust, with a hint of gold appearing around the outer ring of his black pupils.

"I hate waiting!"

"I—hate you the most!"

A thick malicious whisper sounded barely perceptible:
"There shouldn't be other humans in this place!"

"Supreme King... Is this a punishment for disobeying your orders... No, no..."

Little Nick's face was slightly distorted and then returned to normal in an instant, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

He has been waiting here for half a year, but the other party has never shown up. It doesn’t matter, he has plenty of time!
It's approaching dusk.

Yalaer also finished inspecting the area around the oasis and was about to return to the oasis when she noticed a black figure appearing in the desert, walking towards her with his back to the setting sun.

Sudden situation!
Let Yalaer raise her spear and be on guard.

"Yara, long time no see."

Yalaer was startled at first, then loosened her grip on the spear, her face full of surprise and excitement: "My hero!"

Crackling

The flames of the burning bonfire danced in the night, and the people of the oasis tribe danced happily around the bonfire, looking at the food piled in front of them.

Tang Zheng helplessly said to Yalaer who was kneeling beside him, "This food is enough, no need to add more."

"it is good."

Yalaer's cheeks were illuminated by the bonfire, and she nodded with a smile.

"Yara, go get a cup of boiled water." When Chief Dielon saw his daughter's appearance, he coughed lightly and spoke in a vicissitudes of life.

Yalaer's smile paused, and she left Tang Zheng reluctantly.

"Yara is much more cheerful than before."

Tang Zheng turned around and said to Chief Dielon.

"This is all thanks to the hero."

Chief Dielon bowed, his tone respectful but with a hint of emotion: "That child had to shoulder a lot of things before, and everyone put too much pressure on her."

"If it weren't for the hero who rescued us and wiped out the gray dwarves, we would have probably disappeared from this valley."

Chief Diyelon once again expressed his gratitude solemnly: "We in the Oasis Tribe have no way to repay you."

All the people in the tribe were saved by the young man in front of them, who was also a human being like them, although his origins were mysterious.

But for their Oasis clan, it is not a problem at all if it weren't for the fact that the hero had no intention of doing anything.

Chief Dielon is planning to give up his position as chief.

"How is the oasis where the gray dwarves are now?" Tang Zheng asked with a serious expression.

"According to Lord Hero's plan, after we withdraw from the Gray Dwarf Oasis, we will give this oasis to the Orcs."

“But the other party has not shown any interest. Currently, this oasis has been in a desolate state.” Chief Dielon immediately responded in a serious tone, with doubt and confusion in his eyes.

It was a complete oasis!

If their human race were not so rare, with only a few thousand people, they would not be able to occupy two oases at all. If someone gave them an oasis for free, they would definitely accept it.

Tang Zheng was calm and not surprised by this answer.

After arriving at the Valley of Despair, Tang Zheng took the lead in using teleportation magic to go to the oasis of the gray dwarves and checked the situation there.

The question just now actually has a part of the purpose of testing.

After all, half a year has passed, and it is still unknown what has happened to the human side. A simple test can determine whether he will trust the Oasis Clan next.

"It is indeed strange."

Tang Zheng frowned slightly.

An entire oasis was vacant, but the orcs showed no interest in it at all. This was a desolate desert area with a lack of water.

"Have you gotten any other information from the orcs?" Tang Zheng spoke again.

Chief Dielon did not dare to hide anything and said, "We use the weapons, food and other resources we got from the gray dwarves to trade with the orcs."

"The process went smoothly, but we didn't get much information about the outside world or the Orc Kingdom. It seems that we didn't know much about the Orcs either."

Chief Dielon gave a detailed explanation, fearing that Tang Zheng might be dissatisfied with the result and suspected that he had not done his best.

strange!
Tang Zheng seemed to be thinking about something. He always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't find out what was wrong for a while.

"If the clan leader doesn't mind, could you please tell me about the past six months in more detail?" Tang Zheng said to clan leader Dielon.

"No problem, hero."

Chief Dielon began to introduce, bit by bit, what had happened in the past six months, especially the transactions with the orcs.

People dancing in celebration.

Noticing that Tang Zheng and the clan leader were talking about something, they stopped dancing and playing, and lowered their voices, for fear of disturbing Tang Zheng and the other one.

Not long after, Yalaer also brought warm water and sat quietly on the side, adding water to Tang Zheng and Chief Dielon from time to time.

The night passed quickly during the communication.

A hint of white appeared in the east.

The flames of the bonfire had gone out and were emitting blue smoke.

Tang Zheng came back to his senses from his thoughts and noticed that Chief Dielon had a tired face and his eyelids were twitching constantly, trying hard not to fall asleep.

Not far away, on the ground, the people of the oasis were lying on the ground, snoring loudly. It was obvious that this group of people had accompanied him all night.

"Yara, please let everyone go back and rest first."

Tang Zheng spoke softly to Yalaer beside him, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

He noticed something was wrong!

The orcs could actually trade very smoothly with humans. You have to know that humans are an inferior race in the eyes of these sub-humans.

Even if it was because of the destruction of the gray dwarves, the orcs would not show such a friendly attitude.

Also!

Tang Zheng also discovered a problem that he had overlooked, which was why the gray dwarves attacked humans!
The reason why the gray dwarves attacked humans was because of the lack of water and the surge in their population, which resulted in the oasis being unable to support the entire gray dwarf tribe.

That's the problem--

Why did the gray dwarves wait until the oasis could no longer support the size of their entire tribe before launching their attack, instead of wiping out humans in advance?

With the ability of the gray dwarves, it can be done in advance.

"It's a bit like we have no choice but to exterminate humans." Tang Zheng muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming solemn.

"Hero-sama."

A timid voice sounded.

Tang Zheng came back to his senses and looked across at a boy of about eleven or twelve years old who was walking towards him cautiously.

"you are?"

Tang Zheng tried his best to put on a gentle smile and spoke softly.

"His name is Little Nick." Yalaer helped Chief Dielon up and spoke first with a smile.

"Oh, Nick, what's up?"

"Um...Hero-sama, is he the only one here?"

"Yes, it's just me." Tang Zheng smiled.

Little Nick Nick lowered his head slightly and muttered: "It turns out there is only one person."

In an instant.

Little Nick appeared in front of Tang Zheng in the blink of an eye, as if he had teleported.

Tang Zheng's eyes changed instantly.

"Air Explosion Fist"!
The small fist was swung out, and the air in front was broken in an instant. The spreading impact visible to the naked eye hit Tang Zheng in front of him.

Boom!

A roar like thunder exploded out of nowhere.

Tang Zheng's figure turned into a black stream of light, smashing the big trees in the oasis and blasting into the desert in the distance.
