Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Zong Shen tilted his head and stared at the red-faced devil in the mirror with interest.

The effect of this mirror condensed by the contract was closer to that of a bronze mirror, which prevented him from discovering more details and appearance features of the devil. He could only vaguely see that this was a devil that conformed to human aesthetics.

I wonder if there is any illusion that can affect the subconscious perception.

After all, he didn't think the devil would reveal his true colors so easily.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the devil in the mirror didn't feel angry at all, but became even more energetic.

As long as the contract is not immediately rejected and destroyed, it means an opportunity.

As a master of playing with the mind, Landu Asmo is her real name. Every devil is a born businessman. They are good at weaving some clever lies, but they will not lie about their real names.

Because the real name is bound to the devil's contract, it is implicitly restricted by the rules.

Landu Asmo felt the essence of Zong Shen's soul, which was a soul with great trading value.

There were even some things in it that even she couldn't explain.

So she will never give up.

"Meditate and concentrate, and you can communicate with me by focusing your thoughts."

"Come on, say everything you want..."

"I can satisfy you~"

She said coaxingly, and stretched out her petite tongue to lick her two thin lips.

Hearing what she said, Zong Shen raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile, trying to concentrate on communication.

"Then, noble Lord Devil."

"I want to be the most powerful person in the world."

"Can you do it?"

He wanted to see if the devil in front of him could affect the Endless Continent.

This is a trial, and there will be no problem as long as a clear transaction contract is not signed.

I saw Landu Asmo winking, stretched out his somewhat deformed long fingers, and snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

"It turns out that I long for power!"

"You are not the first person to make such a request!"

"Let me see the world you live in."

"Contract No. 0912837, dimension tracing..."

She looked confident, which made Zong Shen feel curious.

After pondering for a moment, Landu Asmo seemed to have found something, and the smile on her face suddenly stiffened.

"Damn, it's actually there..."

"How dare you, human, play tricks on me!"

Landu Asmo roared furiously, which showed that the devil's power could no longer interfere with the Endless Continent.

Zong Shen shrugged, shook his head and replied.

"Dear Lord Devil, you are the one who said you can fulfill my wish."

As soon as these words came out, Landu Asmo across from him was startled for a moment, and then slowly recovered his smile.

"You are right, but the world you live in is rather special."

"But I believe we will have many opportunities to do transactions in the future."

"Keep this contract, through it you can call me at any time."

After saying that, without waiting for Zong Shen to reply, the mirror shattered into powder and disappeared.

Staring at the [Devil Contract (Special)] in his hand, Zong Shen put it away with his backhand.

In the portable storage compartment, this thing cannot be uncovered no matter how evil it is. It is safer than storing it in common storage items.

After all, this is a privilege given to every lord by the lord system, and it must be able to block the perception pouring in from the devil.

"I thought the devil was so capable, but he still couldn't break through the limitations of the lord system."

"But the guy who can issue so many contracts shouldn't be a small player."

"I'm afraid he's either a lord of hell on a certain level or a strong devil under the command of the Great Lord."

Zong Shen has looked up a lot of information about devils through the strategy module, so he has a rough understanding of their hierarchical structure.

It was a very chaotic world, and its foundation alone far exceeded that of the blood-burning demon dimension.

You must know that there is not only one demon dimension world in the void.

Now that this group of lords has arrived not long ago, it is the period when the lord system is under full control. What kind of devil, the cross-border devil leader, if he wants to touch the Endless Continent, he is afraid that he will receive a strong warning or attack.

Not to mention the gods that exist widely in legends and allusions, and whose beliefs are still spread in the endless continent, they don't dare to show up too much, and at most they send down some oracles and divine favors.

It was precisely because of this certainty that Zong Shen simply ignored the devil.

And in fact, the devil's temptations meant nothing to him.

Zong's talents don't need to make deals with the devil to gain power.

After putting away this contract, there was only one piece of loot left.

It was a space storage prop with rough manufacturing techniques.

The runes drawn on it are different from those drawn on the common space magic objects in the Endless Continent, and there are also traces of demonic energy emitting. It seems to be a temporary gadget created by Balnaha.

[Roughly polished space stone (orange)]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Effect: Advanced storage space (a space stone roughly made by the Dread Lord Balnahar, with a high-end storage space)]

[Due to the rough production techniques, the internal storage space is extremely unstable, and there is a certain chance of damage to items whose quality is lower than the fourth-level rarity level]

[(Enter the power of the devil to open)]

(The gadgets Balnahar made in the Forbidden Land, the contents inside may give you some surprises)

…

"surprise?"

The strategy notes were a bit off, but with everything in hand, he could naturally check it directly.

It just so happened that Zong Shen had the power of demons.

With a thought in his mind, he mobilized a wisp of demonic power and input it into the space stone.

The internal storage space opened smoothly.

There are many blood-burning weapons piled inside...

They are all condensed by Balnaha over the past ten thousand years.

In addition to the spear, there is also [Balnaha's Burning Blood Terror Claw].

The blood-burning weapon can be condensed once every one hundred years. After such a long time, it has been condensed one or two hundred times.

Balnaha chose to accumulate these extra blood-burning weapons.

In the blood-burning demon dimension, only great demons, that is, legendary level demons, can condense blood-burning weapons.

All blood-burning weapons can be stored for a long time, so in normal times, the great demons will generally condense the blood-burning weapons regularly, store them, and wait for them to be distributed to their henchmen during war.

Especially those big demons who can condense arrows and crossbows will accumulate all the blood-burning arrows and distribute them to specialized blood-burning archers. They can use the "blood-burning" characteristic to kill or severely damage the enemy's powerful enemies. By.

Balnahar is naturally no exception. As the guide notes say, it has not been idle for so many years.

It's just that now everything has come to an advantage for Zong, and has become the basis for his future rise.

It’s not the fault that Zong Shen is too strong, it’s just that Balnaha himself is too weak.

Weakness itself is the original sin, so Zong Shen desires to become strong.

With this batch of blood-burning weapons, Zong Shen can prepare a killer move for his confidants.

Among them are seven to eight hundred blood-burning spears, which can condense twelve at a time.

For the Dreadlord Barnahar, spears are disposable items in wartime. They can only be recycled after the battlefield is cleared when victory is guaranteed.

But to Zong Shen and his subordinates, every spear can be used as a four-edged sword to chop.

Of course, the durability of this thing is not high, and it is far not as powerful as another blood-burning weapon that Balnaha can condense - [Balnaha's Blood-Burning Terror Claws].

In addition to the blood-burning spears, the rest are more than a hundred amazingly large blood-burning claws.

As Balnahar's exclusive condensed blood-burning weapons, their quality level is fixed at the rare level.

It's just that the size doesn't meet the standards for human use.

The blood-burning arrow he picked up back then should have been shot by a smaller demon, but it could not be ruled out that the demons mastered the secret method of regulating blood-burning weapons.

No matter what, these blood-burning weapons are an important harvest. Take them all away first and figure out how to deal with them when you get back.

After simply cleaning the battlefield, he first let one of the [Demon Mirror Images] walk into the ruins.

The mirror body can last for up to four hours, and Zong Shen can easily command it with his mind, which can effectively assist in battles and serve as a scout.

However, considering that the skill of [Demon Mirror] requires a 12-hour cooldown, it is rarely used as a detection skill. This skill with a relatively powerful effect is more suitable for combat.

The mirror image continued to pass through the gray barrier, repeating this cycle several times. After confirming that there was no danger, Zong Shen himself walked towards the forbidden place.

It's a completely different feeling to enter it in person.

The familiar sense of change in time and space appeared, and walking into the forbidden place gave him the illusion of being teleported over a long distance.

The original two piles of bones here have lost more than half, and most of them have been consumed by Ansel's Spirit of Vengeance and Balnahar's Fusion.

The light was not too dim, because the runes on the barrier were continuing to shine.

There was a smell of decaying dust in the air, and thick dust accumulated on the ground.

Wisps of undead death energy are constantly steaming.

This place can be said to be the area with the highest concentration of undead energy in the entire mining area.

Zong Shen is still in the state of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Light shines unconsciously all over his body.

The holy light and the undead death energy are incompatible with each other. They are annihilating and conflicting with each other almost every moment, causing bubbles of black and white light to burst out around him.

These bubbles exploded with a "pop" sound, and then turned into nothingness.

The elimination reaction of the two is not dramatic, but quite frequent.

When he walked more than ten meters, the holy light on his body was partially suppressed.

Ignoring this collision of energy instincts, Zong Shen first walked towards the magic circle where a mummified undead was imprisoned.

This is the key to completing the next task entrusted by Ansel.

In the magic circle, the mummy and the undead were twisting and turning, and from time to time, a long black whip would gather and hit it hard.

Every time the incomplete light blue soul tries to struggle, it is quickly pulled and absorbed by the undead body.

In fact, this mummified undead body has become a prison that binds the soul.

Zong Shen glanced at it and immediately understood the details of this magic circle.

[Soul-forbidden whipping magic array (bright light level)]

[Some runes are damaged and cannot be closed automatically]

(It cannot be closed actively, but it can be closed violently. Destroying it can release the restrictions of the magic circle.

The mummified undead being restrained among them is the remains of Silver Moon Prince Ansel and the half of his soul that represents the love and kindness in his heart)

…

This is not the first time he has violently demolished a home.

This kind of magic circle is internal but not external. If you want to break it from the outside, you only need to destroy some of the runes.

Zong Shen took advantage of the fact that the holy light state was not yet released, and waved his hand to condense a few holy light bullets, then flicked his wrist and threw them towards the [Soul-Forbidden Whiplash Magic Array (Glory Light Level)].

"boom!"

The sound of explosion and impact came, and the circular platform where the magic array was located was instantly blasted with several holes.

Stones embedded with magic materials and pathways flew everywhere.

After being attacked, the operation of the magic circle suddenly stagnated, and then stretched out black whips in an attempt to counterattack Zong Shen.

This is the automatic counterattack mechanism that comes with the magic circle.

Zong Shen didn't take this seriously. He kept shaking his arms and threw out spheres of holy light bullets.

After another dozen bombardments, more than 80% of the outer runes of the magic circle were destroyed.

The remaining runes flashed and disappeared, looking very unstable.

In the end, the magic circle only lasted for half a minute before it was violently blasted away by Zong Shen.

The black chains and whips dissipated, and the mummy fell to the ground helplessly.

That half of the soul finally got a breather, and took this opportunity to break away from the extremely restrained undead body and came to Zong Shen.

"After more than 10,000 years, I finally found relief."

"Through the thoughts of the enemy soul, I know everything."

"I'm causing trouble for you!"

The blue remnant soul turned a few times, and then turned into a complete soul that was as big as a dwarf.

After seeing Zong Shen's ability to easily destroy Barnaha, Ansel also sincerely respected him.

This made Zong Shen feel that it looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Now all he needs to do is banish Ansel's soul under the moonlight to complete that task.

Facing the kind version of Ansel, he didn't say much.

The previous appearance of the spirit of vengeance made Zong Shen a little wary. It was better to keep things official for this kind of spirit.

So he nodded slightly and responded casually.

"Then please follow me. It should be daytime outside now. After tonight, you will be relieved."

After saying that, he asked the strategy module to retrieve and guide the items that could be found in the forbidden area.

As the core area of ​​the large ruins of Azshara Mine.

There are many treasure chests in the Forbidden Land, many of which are gold-level and diamond-level.

In addition, a batch of standard equipment and ordnance have been sealed in the temporary garrison of the resistance forces.

It's a pity that a large amount of supplies and high-end materials that were also sealed here were used to decorate the forbidden area. Otherwise, Zong Shen would have been able to obtain a large amount of precious materials, which would be enough to supply the territory's demand for high-end consumables in the future.
