Chapter 1260 - 1260 1259 The Beginning of Extraction

Chapter 1260: Chapter 1259: The Beginning of Extraction Chapter 1260: Chapter 1259: The Beginning of Extraction “This Eye, I can’t use it at all before Opening the gate.

Forcing a fusion would not only damage the Demon Eye but might even harm the brain… No rush, such a treasure should be used when Opening the gate, might even help me push into deeper realms afterward.

Really… I didn’t expect to be able to completely strip away the Eye, Tomb Lord, you really are something, hahaha!”

Staring at the test report for [Vortex Eye], Han Dong couldn’t restrain the excitement within his body and began to laugh wildly in the laboratory.

For a full half hour, his eyes became bloodshot, and his throat slightly torn.

Reviewing his experiences in “The Tombs” so far, Han Dong’s gains could be described as substantial.

1. By using a zombie Body that wasn’t his own and the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic], which ranks among the top within Corpse Collection, he completed a premature Opening of the gate in the Foreign Domain, gaining gate-opening experience that ordinary life forms simply couldn’t obtain.

2. Through Practicing “Corpse Float Inner Classic,” he intersected with Academician Du and got involved with the Floating Corpse heritage relating to the World Origin.

3. Through his relationship with the Tomb Lord, he acquired [Vortex Eye] from a Formal Employee.

The gains mentioned above are equivalent to 100% completion of some Fate event… Not to mention that as long as everything goes smoothly next, Han Dong will obtain a share of the equity.

“Next, I’ll take care of the [Main Heart Lock Chain] for the Tomb Lord; Togu must be very familiar with the structure of the chains by now.”

After a brief rest in the cave, just as he was preparing to return to the barracks.

A green Demon Qi suddenly diffused throughout the cave.

“Hmm… Great Demon? No, why does this aura feel somewhat familiar…”

Right Arm has already revealed the structure related to Bloodhounds.

Only to see = at the cave entrance, a myriad of venomous snakes surged inward… However, the snakes weren’t fast, they didn’t seem to be targeting Han Dong; the massive number of venomous snakes merely acted as carriers, transporting a Great Demon into the cave.

Immediately after, a familiar voice emanated from within the snake multitude.

“Mr. Han, it’s really you!”

A figure whose corpse was covered in venomous snakes and holding a stone club slowly emerged from among the snakes.

“Zhang Xiliang… you’ve had a Breakthrough?”

The chance encounter here was with the ‘ruffian’ Han Dong first met in Corpse Country.

He didn’t expect this unintentional move to progress to such a stage.

“I was taken back deep into the Demon Region by those Monsters from Broken Dragon Cliff, and because of the Special Traits you bestowed upon me, I was acknowledged by an elder of the Demon race.

According to the elder, zombies and Monsters share the same origin.

My combination is quite rare, coupled with my decent innate talents, I have a very good prospective Development.

After the elder’s careful guidance and cultivation within the cave walls, I have condensed a Nei Dan.

The Nei Dan is [dark green], different from a Demon Pill, but not quite like a Black Elixir.

I came here specifically to thank you, Mr. Han, for all the opportunities you’ve given me along the way.”

“You took the opportunity yourself, no need to thank me… You must have come all this way to find me for more than just to say thanks, right?”

“Hmm, I’ve thought long and hard during my cultivation and have decided to abandon my zombie identity, living in the Demon Region from now on.”

“That’s wonderful! Very good!”

“Ah… okay.” Zhang Xiliang was slightly embarrassed, as he expected Han Dong might have something to advise him.

At that moment, Han Dong suddenly placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Speaking of which! Since you’ve decided to give up your zombie identity and must have secured a foothold in the Demon Region, even earning a certain status and position, right?”

“Yes! I am now recognized as a Great Demon and have also gained favor from an elder… Currently, I have my own territory in Demon Valley.”

Han Dong’s gaze showed the care of a leader, his hand gently patting Zhang Xiliang’s shoulder:

“That’s not bad.

Using your current maximum relationship in the Demon Region, roughly how many Monsters could you call upon?”

“The maximum… If I request it from the elder, I might be able to get assistance from within Demon Valley; I’m not sure how many exactly.”

“Before you completely sever ties with your zombie identity, could you do one more thing for me?”

You have two days, the sooner the better… Within this time limit, take the demon race to the barracks area, as I need to make use of the demon race’s power for a matter.

This letter is for the elder you are acquainted with; I believe he will make the right decision.”

Han Dong took out the pen and paper he always carried with him and wrote a letter on the spot, also leaving a mark at the bottom right of the letter with “Death Jade” in combination with his own fresh blood.

“What exactly is the matter?”

“It concerns the separation of Corpse Country from the current world.

Should it succeed, the Corpse Country floating in the sky along with many floating islands will depart, and all the cadavers will be separated out… The deadly gas spread throughout the world will also dissipate, and all things will be revived.

This letter details related information; hand it over to that elder, and I believe he will cooperate.

You’re the pivot for this task; make sure you handle it well.”

“Certainly!”

Zhang Xiliang immediately merged with the snake swarm and swiftly headed towards Demon Valley.

Han Dong watched the swiftly departing snake swarm, a smile on his face, “I never expected the seed sown by chance to actually sprout.

If the demon race can assist, things should go more smoothly… The world’s rules originate from all things; if we can truly call upon the demon race, things might become even smoother.”

…

[Chain Area]

The locksmiths, slender as coolies, continued their work as usual.

Togu, in the shadows, savored such a painting of pain. He even longed for a way to transfer the locksmiths’ pain onto himself… It had been a long time since he had tasted pain that was novel and fulfilling.

“Togu, what are you up to? How’s the analysis of the rule chains’ structure coming along?”

“Master, I am admiring the ‘pain’ here… The analysis of the chains was completed five hours ago, ready to coordinate with you at any time.

However, besides needing to utilize your Node power,

we still need sufficient [Power] to pull out the chains… The power needed here must be able to lift Corpse Country and the surrounding floating islands; the provider of this power must also be a ‘living creature’, which may necessitate the sacrifice of tens of thousands of cadavers.”

“Mm, the ‘manpower’ for power supply has been found, though we need to wait for some time.

Let’s sleep on it, and start the ‘Cutting Plan’ tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

…

The next day.

Palace – Taiji Hall

Due to Shentu Yang’s death from dereliction of duty, Wang Shiheng, whose legs had recovered, resumed his position as the Ministry of War.

Currently, Wang Shiheng was kneeling before the curtain, receiving the military talisman back from the Tomb Lord’s hands.

“Minister Wang, there is something I want to ask you… I have heard that you had a very good relationship with Han Dong when you were acting as the Governor at the barracks.”

“Your Majesty, it was indeed with the assistance of this young friend that this humble official was able to recover his legs. I hear he is now a special envoy personally appointed by Your Majesty?”

“That’s correct, Han Dong has played a significant role in advancing the Corpse Country plan; has he recently borrowed a large number of troops from you?”

“No… It has been quite a while since this humble official last saw this young friend.”

“Didn’t he go to the barracks yesterday?”

The original plan was for Han Dong to borrow a large number of hands when executing the plan to pull out the chains… The Tomb Lord was prepared to sacrifice a large number of cadavers.

Just then.

A tremor transmitted from the Main Heart Lock Chain shook the entire Corpse Country; everyone could feel the same level of vibration.

At the same time, a spy arrived at the entrance of Taiji Hall at the highest speed to report an extremely urgent emergency:

“The watchposts outside the barracks have detected a [massive scale] demon surge, comparable to the turmoil in the Demon Region during the founding of the nation… At least the presence of over thirty Great Demons has been felt!”

“What! At this time?!”

Wang Shiheng was greatly alarmed, his body involuntarily running towards the outside of the hall.
