Chapter 176 The Crisis of the City of Ruins! A Powerful Counterattack!
"But! I refuse!"
Greed flashed in Xue Donglai's eyes, but he instantly regained his composure and decisively shook his head.
"why?"
Scorpion frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
His figure also began to slowly retreat.
"Ha! Why so many questions? Since you're here, don't leave!" Xue Donglai sneered, and with a wave of his hand, two seventh-level guards immediately blocked Poison Scorpion's path.
"You think these two can stop me? Besides... what benefits did the Dragon City Lord give you? Why are you helping them?" Poison Scorpion couldn't understand.
To conquer Dragon City, the fortress, Poison Scorpion made multiple preparations.
Before coming to find Xue Dong, he went to the second floor first.
They successively found the elders of Flame City, Hurricane City, and Divine Weapon City, as well as the two temple envoys.
In short... they searched for all the experts with sixth or seventh-level strength and used both threats and inducements.
If we can win over a dozen or so seventh-tier experts from several factions, we could potentially destroy the entire Dragon City!
To the chief's surprise, all of them refused!
Xue Donglai, the young city lord of the ruins city, even stepped in to help Longcheng hold him off!
"what!"
Suddenly, a scream rang out from the inner city.
The chieftain's expression suddenly changed, realizing that something had gone wrong.
He had to get there immediately and seize the glowing tree amidst the chaos.
"Uncles, don't let him cause trouble in the inner city!" Xue Donglai shouted.
"Don't worry, young city lord, we've got it covered!" the two guards said confidently.
Seeing the two of them holding off the scorpion, Xue Dong looked towards the inner city with a helpless smile on his lips.
Everyone assumed... he came from the great city of ruins.
He is the young city lord of the city of ruins, with a noble and unapproachable status!
But the truth is... the current city lord of the ruins city, whose father, the city lord of Xueye, has accumulated many hidden injuries due to years of fighting and killing.
After my father turned fifty, various hidden injuries erupted, and his body nearly collapsed.
As a result, the situation in the city began to become turbulent.
Powerful external forces covet the city's industries, while internal rebels lurk...
The city of ruins is now in grave danger, so his father has no choice but to send him out of the city.
Originally... Xue Donglai was already somewhat desperate, and could only try to make connections with outstanding figures everywhere and make further plans.
However, he was utterly astonished when he experienced the healing effects of that energy drink.
If Father can drink this energy drink, is there any hope of him recovering?
Even a small recovery would at least ease the tension in the City of Ruins.
If the City of Ruins were at its peak, Xue Donglai might have joined forces with Black Soil City out of greed and taken strong measures against Dragon City, either by robbing or stealing.
But now... he has reached an agreement with Xiao Yu.
He buys goods worth 50 in Longcheng, and Xiao Yu will sell him Night Glow Dew.
However, like everyone else, Xue Donglai would be staying here for many days since the trade fair had just begun. Moreover, his main goal was to buy divine weapons, so he wasn't in a hurry to shop.
I mainly wanted to see how effective the glow-in-the-dark tree was.
Now... bathed in this emerald light, he felt his physique strengthen.
With his sharp eyesight, he could clearly see that drops of dew had condensed at the brightest point of the glowing tree.
That must be the real luminous dew.
If one could drink that dew, the effects would surely be incredibly potent.
This treasure, capable of improving physical condition and healing old injuries, is absolutely priceless!
Let alone spending 50, even 500 million would be worth it!
If a problem can be solved with money, then it's not really a problem!
On one side are notorious, utterly unruly bandits and robbers...
On the other side is the Lord of Dragon City, who possesses numerous treasures and whose strength is still completely unknown!
Even a fool knows what to choose!
"Lord of Dragon City, all I can do for you is hold off Poison Scorpion to prevent him from destroying the inner city! As for the other scum, let me see... the true power of Dragon City."
Two temple messengers from the wealthy district shared similar ideas with Xue Donglai.
Black Soil City only saw the glowing tree as a treasure and wanted to steal it.
But... all they saw was the Lord of Dragon City. The real treasure was the Lord of Dragon City!
It would be foolish to offend the Lord of Dragon City for the sake of a glowing tree!
However... the two simply stood by and watched the show, choosing not to take sides.
If the Lord of Dragon City can't even handle some petty thieves, he doesn't deserve those treasures!
……
"Hahaha...Dragon City, it's nothing special!"
In the inner city, led by Poison Madman, a group of men in black jumped off the city wall and headed for the city lord's mansion.
At first... after witnessing the defenses of the outer city, they assumed that the inner city was even more heavily fortified.
But now it seems that Dragon City's strength may be a facade, or perhaps Dragon City has too few strong individuals, all of whom are used to guard the outer city, leaving the inner city quite empty.
In addition, the chieftain arranged for people to incite riots in the outer city, and the guards in the inner city were also transferred out.
Therefore, they easily infiltrated the area with hundreds of people, and no one noticed.
"Hehe! As long as we successfully steal the glowing tree, we'll all be rich!" A short, skinny bandit looked at the endless plants and vegetables, his eyes filled with greed.
With the glow-in-the-dark trees, Black Soil City will soon have an endless expanse of plants and vegetables.
All the people who participated today are heroes, and their status has risen accordingly!
"Huh? This plant vine can actually move? Hiss~" The short, skinny bandit was walking along when he suddenly felt his ankle get tangled in a plant vine. He was curious and wanted to get closer to take a look.
As a result, I got pricked by something.
A sharp, piercing pain shot through him, and before the short, thin bandit could even utter a sound, he collapsed to the ground.
He was instantly paralyzed, his eyes wide open, his mouth agape as if he wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound at all.
He could only watch in despair as the vines entangled him, dragging him little by little into the depths of the plant.
"Rat, where are you?" Noticing his companion was missing, another bandit nearby called out in confusion. He took a few steps closer, then also felt something prick him, and then...
There's no after that.
Similar situations are occurring in many parts of the inner city.
"Something's not right! How come so many people are gone all of a sudden?" Somewhere in the inner city, Poison Madman tried to contact his men using gestures and code words, but found that far fewer people were responding to him.
"Everyone! Be careful!"
The madman immediately used a coded message to warn him.
However, his response was...
"what!"
Several screams rang out.
Followed by.
Du Feng saw that, from the city wall hundreds of meters away, a burst of flames suddenly erupted.
He could vaguely see several figures in the firelight, which were his own men.
A fifth-tier expert and two fourth-tier experts vanished in the blink of an eye!
"Not good! There are still terrifying experts in Dragon City!" Upon seeing this, Poison Madman's expression changed drastically.
At this moment, he understood perfectly well that Dragon City was far stronger than he had imagined!
