286 The Cowardly Lords
Su Wan sought Lin Yao’s help. She made her cast a levitation spell to make the eggs fly in the air.
Fortunately, Lin Yao was a mage and knew many useful spells. If Su Wan had Zhao Qingrong instead, they would have been able to carry only two eggs with them.
Su Wan prepared to leave the tunnel finally. When the Sandworm returned to the tunnel, it would definitely go crazy because of the missing eggs. It was better to leave soon.
Just as they were about to leave, Su Wan decided to check the area one last time. She extended her perception to cover the whole area. She felt a fluctuation underneath the sand.
She found more eggs buried deep in the sand. If it wasn’t for the True Eye of the Demonic Dragon, she wouldn’t have found it. The illusion cleared, and more eggs slowly appeared before her.
These eggs were smaller than the others she had found just a moment ago. The eggshells were of a faint golden color. There were mysterious patterns on the shell.
‘What is that?’ thought Su Wan.
[Ancient Sandworm Egg]
[Level: Level 1]
[Status: Weak lifeforce]
[Note: Able to incubate but difficult to hatch because of weak lifeforce.]
Su Wan couldn’t see any more attributes of the eggs beyond what the True Eye of the Demonic Dragon revealed to her. However, she thought that these eggs weren’t so weak.
There must be a way to make them hatch. ‘I will take them back. Xu Yuan might know of a way.’
After carefully levitating the newly discovered eggs, they did not linger in the area any longer.
Su Wan looked around for any treasure that she might find in the nest. Unfortunately, there was nothing. The creature wasn’t a dragon that hoarded trinkets, after all.
Lin Yao refused to take any of the eggs for herself. She was disappointed that she had embarrassed herself with her magic before. So, she let Su Wan keep everything as compensation for her failure.
Su Wan gladly accepted them. She was sure that the eggs were useful.
Thinking about the creatures she would have under her command after the eggs hatched, Su Wan was ecstatic.
They did not dawdle any longer. They escaped.
Just then, they felt the earth tremble. The creature might have discovered the missing egg.
Su Wan and Lin Yao fled in the opposite direction to the nest. Due to their camouflaging ability, the eggs did not leave an aura to be discovered.
However, the Sandworm was now so angry that it attacked everything in its sight. The troops above suffered a devastating blow.
The earth crumbled, and the valley started collapsing. The troops were terrified. They had no idea what had happened to make the creature so furious.
The Sandworms gathered in droves and razed the valleys to the ground. Every troop on the ground felt the brunt. None survived.
The situation had spiraled out of control. The troops in the air were alive. However, they were horrified watching those on the ground die brutally.
In an area with such complicated terrain, it was extremely difficult to pursue Su Wan and Lin Yao who could fly.
After the landslide, Su Wan and Lin Yao had hidden underground. However, the Lords still had hope of finding them. But now, everything had spiraled out of control.
Su Wan had somehow angered the creatures which hunted the Lords and their troops, while she escaped.
When the word reached the commander of the Light-Types, he was enraged. They had come here with the sole goal of hunting Su Wan. They hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.
The Light-Types had suffered a heavy loss. They were in a dire situation. They all needed to escape. If the Dimensional Portal closed down and Dark-Types appeared out of nowhere to fight them, everything would be over.
The Light-Types felt helpless anger at their situation. The other Lords also had mixed feelings about the situation.
“Su Wan really can’t be killed so easily, can she?”
They had tried and failed miserably, with hundreds of troops dead and still dying. Could Su Wan even be killed?
The Lords were flabbergasted. They had been so full of confidence when Su Wan and her friend disappeared underground.
In the end, they were the ones who were trapped and killed brutally. Thousands of troops were dead. Many Lords had died as well.
Their downfall was tragic and brutal. Most of them were killed in the landslide or at the hands of the hideous Sandworms. However, they knew that the cause of this disaster was Su Wan and Lin Yao.
In the alliance of the four Lords, Su Wan was the strongest. If they didn’t defeat her now, it would be impossible to do so in the future.
Su Wan and Lin Yao used various tactics to beat them into submission.
“I don’t want to see them ever again!”
The Lord in charge of the battle report deleted the post. After that, he never posted again. The other Lords were silent.
They had spent so much effort and mobilized more than a million troops to fight Su Wan, but they had ended up like this.
They didn’t know what to feel. Was Su Wan that strong, or was she truly invincible?
The difference between their strength and Su Wan’s was huge. However, they thought they could defeat her if many of them banded together. This time, the Dark Demon Dragon hadn’t even intervened.
They all felt uneasy. Nobody wanted to talk about Su Wan anymore.
The lord who was flying right above watched the Sandworms come out of the ground and devour his troops. He turned away and left quietly.
They vowed never to fight the four Lords ever again.
Su Wan ran deeper underground and kept the True Eye of the Demonic Dragon activated, lest she encountered any sudden surprises.
The troops of the Light-Types watched the tragedy unfold. They did not intend to make a move at all. If the Light-Types had a hero of the highest level, they would have sent it underground to find Su Wan, but they didn’t have anyone who could fight the Sandworms. They had severely underestimated Su Wan.
