Chapter 623: Splitting the Loot
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Fearing Yang Ling’s powerful abilities and cruel methods, none of the wanderers from the wanderers’ campsite dared to chase after them, nor did they dare to harbor any errant thoughts. Even if Yang Ling truly had a protective Divine Weapon on him, that was something that they could not obtain.
After giving the wanderers with errant thoughts a harsh lesson, Yang Ling and his group moved forward quickly. They were extremely fast, getting further and further away from the wanderers’ campsite and deeper into the vast Sunset Plain.
Just like the Campara Forest and the other places in the Graveyard of Deities and Demons, the Sunset Plains was also fraught with danger. Perhaps it was due to the rich resources in the area or the suitable climate and environment, but there were Magical Beasts of various kinds in the area. Common cows and sheep could be found in other large plains, while Magical Beasts could be found in every corner of the Sunset Plain. Often, the field would look lush and green, with beautiful sceneries spanning to the horizon, but there would be terrifying Magical Beasts lying in ambush within the grass, and people would suffer from a terrifying siege if they were careless.
Luckily for them, Wilcox had a wealth of experience and led the group far away from many dangerous spots. Even if they suddenly encountered any terrifying Magical Beasts, they still managed to make their way around the threat with Yang Ling’s timely warning. They would either move further away from the area or join forces and eliminate the threat!
“Sir Wilcox, when will we reach the Wandering Castle in the Sunset Plain?” A wanderer who had just entered the Graveyard of Deities and Demons for the first time spoke as he caught up with Wilcox, who was leading the group at the front.
“Wandering Castle?” Wilcox laughed as he looked at the vast Sunset Plain. He smiled and said, “At our current speed, I think we will not be able to reach the Wandering Castle even after a year. However, as long as we manage to reach the Astonvela Manor that is situated ten thousand miles away, we will be able to rush rapidly to the Wandering Castle by riding on flying Magical Beasts. Then, we can infiltrate the Moon River from another direction!”
“Ride on flying Magical Beasts? Do we have that many Black Crystals?”
“Richardson and I had done the calculations, we should have no problem for a one-way trip on the cheapest flying Magical Beast. However, while we will have no problems going there, making our way back on the flying Magical Beasts will be troublesome!” Wilcox shook his head when he thought about the exorbitant fee needed for the flying Magical Beasts.
Whoosh…
The group moved fast, gliding past the field. With the experienced Wilcox leading the way and with Yang Ling warnings of danger and providing the group with support, the group felt more at ease. However, after journeying for an entire day, even if the Divine-level wanderers had no problems, the Gold-cloaked Warriors who only had abilities at the sage level and domain level were all exhausted, getting slower and slower.
“Sir Yang Ling, the sky is getting dark, and we have been traveling for an entire day. Everyone’s tired. Why don’t we rest at the hill in front for a night before continuing on the journey?” After having traveled continuously for an entire day and seeing that the Gold-robed Warriors and elves were exhausted and unable to move, Wilcox stopped in his tracks and sought Yang Ling’s opinion.
The strong were more highly regarded!
A truly strong fighter with exceptional abilities would command respect no matter where he went, Yang Ling was no exception. Richardson and the demoness had intentionally fallen to the back of the group to flirt, no longer concerning themselves with the specific course of action, and Wilcox was only responsible for leading the way like a guide. Since that was the case, Yang Ling had unknowingly become the de facto leader of the group.
“That’s good, let’s go!”
Seeing the panting Gold-cloaked Warriors and elves behind him, then looking at the slightly awkward God of Swords and Chief Elven Priest, Yang Ling smiled. He led the bald Mammoth Butler and Thousand-handed Blood Vine Elizabeth in accelerating once again, heading straight for the hill not far away.
The hill was not large, not much taller than the field itself, and this made it difficult to defend. However, one could have a view of the entire area surrounding them when standing on the hill, which meant that they would not have to worry about a surprise attack from a large horde of Magical Beasts. With everyone’s efforts, they soon set up many tents on the hill.
“Sir, these are the divinities and Space Ring we obtained after killing Evil Wolf Travis and his group at the campsite!” The Corpse Wizard King was all smiles, taking a sip of rum before taking out the spoils of war.
He was more experienced than anyone when it came to cleaning up the battlefield. He had not only led the Dark Dragon King and the rest of the group in retrieving tens of divinities, but he had also pillaged the Space Rings of many bandits, not letting even their weapons and armor go. He had left nothing behind, obtaining the wealth of the bandits had accumulated over the years.
The wealth of Evil Wolf Travis?
Looking at the pile of Space Rings in front of Yang Ling, everyone in the group rushed over to the area where Yang Ling was. While they were jealous that Yang Ling had obtained several divinities, they were more curious as to what Travis’s wealth looked like.
In the past, Evil Wolf Travis had led a great number of bandits and pillaged territories with expansive areas, accumulating an obscene amount of wealth. Even though he had later on suffered from the fatal attacks of the Longbarton family and had not been able to move most of his fortune away in time, he still had several valuable items in the Space Ring that he carried with him.
“We are rich, robbing a bunch of bandits is much better than being bandits ourselves and robbing the commoners!” Seeing the people starting to make their way over to him, Yang Ling smiled, then opened the Space Rings in front of them and retrieved all of the items inside.
The Magical Beast Territory had developed rapidly, and Yang Ling had lost much interest in the pursuit of wealth, especially after he saw the giant changes in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. He did not mind sharing the spoils of war with the people. In his eyes, strength was the most important thing! With immense strength, he could have whatever he needed.
Wala…
As the hundreds of Space Rings got opened, valuables of various kinds piled up on the small hill. There were precious magical scrolls, ancient insignias of immeasurable value, premium custom-made weapons and armor… In fact, there were even several hundred divinities of different elements. The item that took up the bulk of the treasures were the Black Crystals that were the common currency across the major dimensions. They piled up like a mountain!
“My God, the number of Black Crystals here is about several thousand, or even tens of thousands of times that of what we earned in the past ten thousand years!”
“A battle ax that had been mixed with Pure Gold Sand… My God, are my eyes playing tricks on me?”
…
Seeing the mountain of treasures before them, the group was still shocked even though they had been mentally prepared for this! This was especially so for the many Gold-cloaked Warriors and elves who had abilities only at the sage or domain level. They stared at the alluring divinities, incredibly excited!
The Graveyard of Deities and Demons was extremely dangerous, but it was also filled with many opportunities. The divinities that were almost non-existent on the Tailun Continent were piled up before them. They saw the hope of rapidly advancing to the divine level!
“These are the spoils of war we obtained by shedding our blood and sweat, take whatever you need!” Yang Ling let out a faint smile when he saw the incredibly excited Gold-cloaked Warriors and the similarly agitated wanderers.
When he had just entered the Graveyard of Deities and Demons, every divinity was extremely precious to him. However, in his current state, as his abilities got stronger and stronger, he accumulated more and more wealth, and he no longer had any regard for ordinary divinity. Only the divinity of a High-level Deity or stronger was worth his time in incorporating and understanding!
“Brother Yang Ling, thank you, our Bellimore family will forever be an ally of the Magical Beast Territory!” Looking at his excited tribespeople, some of them even passionately crying, the God of Swords, Gerald, bowed toward the generous Yang Ling, extending his hand to take several dozen divinities from Low-level Deities.
“Sir Yang Ling, this battle-ax is extremely important to me, thank you!” A wanderer who specialized in close combat fetched over a heavy battle-ax and respectfully bowed in front of Yang Ling.
…
The people took whatever they needed, choosing the item most suitable for them from within the mountain of treasures. Some chose valuable divinities, others took the expertly made armor and weapons, and some chose magical scrolls with immeasurable value… Even though they could choose at will, all of them knew their place. No one was foolish enough to claim everything as their own. After all, if not for Yang Ling suddenly attacking the enemy at the critical moment, some of them might have already lost their lives back then. How would they have the opportunity to obtain these riches?
If Yang Ling’s powerful abilities had won him the respect of the group in the past, then his generosity had now won him the sincere reverence of the people!
After instructing the Corpse Wizard King to give the people a handful of Black Crystals each, Yang Ling waved his hand and kept all of the items, handing them over to the Blood Angel Ophilia and the rest of the angels in the Wizard’s Pagoda’s Space to sort them out slowly. After chatting a little with the rest of the group, Yang Ling headed into his tent and sat down cross-legged, then took out a Dragon Head Ring with three heads before closely examining it.
He had obtained a total of twelve Dragon Head Rings back in the Gibra Temple back then. Amongst those, there were three rings each that had one and two heads, five rings with three heads, and one with five heads. This showed just how powerful the people from the Solomon Divine Branch that had barged into the Gibra Temple were!
Twelve Divine Duty Experts had been exterminated in the Gibra Temple even though they took action together. Yang Ling could not imagine just how terrifying Artest, the one the bald Mammoth Butler spoke of, was!
“Is he a Divine Duty Expert at the level of a Core Deity, or an even more terrifying Dimensional Wanderer?” Yang Ling shook his head, focusing his attention on the Dragon Head Ring in his hand.
Just a Dragon Head Ring was enough to get the Blood Angel Ophilia to advance from a six-winged to an eight-winged angel, giving her a great boost in power. He could not imagine what kind of power he could produce if he managed to successfully crack open the rings with the three heads and reforge them!
Perhaps it would aid the Corpse Wizard King in breaking through the bottleneck and push him directly into the level of High-level Deity, transforming him into a Divine-level Corpse Wizard Kin. Perhaps it could allow the demoness to advance and transform as soon as possible, becoming a true woman. If he could quickly dispel the ring with the twelve dragon heads, he might be able to set up a preliminary Magical Beast Divine Branch within a short amount of time, rapidly boosting the battle capabilities of the entire Magical Beast Army!
