Chapter 641 Fungus and the Dwarf Prince

Casius curled up in the cave, and the huge body like a hill rose and fell with his breathing, and hot white smoke continued to spew out.

At this time, the red dragon was like a moving active volcano, accumulating terrifying heat in his body, but this was only the power brought by the bloodline of the ancestral dragon. The power of Casius was far more than that.

The power of the sun god, the power of order, the flame of chaos, the origin of the elemental plane and even the origin of heaven were all mixed in that huge body.

If a mortal had such a complex and mottled power, he would have exploded and died long ago, but these powers fought against each other in the body of the ancestral dragon, and finally maintained a delicate balance, like a self-operating miniature world.

"Roar——"

The red dragon roared, spewing hot wind that distorted the air, and then slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his deep sleep again.

In the months since the Burning Empire occupied North Ethel, Cassius's body has been sleeping in the most active and abundant magical energy area. After all, it is Fianso, and the magic network around it is much more active than the remote wasteland of Anzeta.

However, Cassius has not been idle in the past few days. He not only controls the golden dragon incarnation to travel around, looking for allies to fight against the brutal evil dragon emperor together - that is, his own allies.

He also sent out an extra half-dragon incarnation, calling himself Count Hans, to play the game of solving cases and maintaining public order in Dragon Head City.

Yes, the game.

Now Cassius has stood at the top of the material world. His power is too strong. His every move will cause turmoil in the world, and there are fewer and fewer matters that he needs to deal with personally.

Cassius does not want to sleep all day like an ordinary dragon and lose the concept of time and life.

Therefore, he needs to do something extra to maintain his nature to prevent himself from being completely swallowed up by the powerful "dragon nature" of the ancestral dragon and becoming a complete beast.

"This sleep period is not very long, just three months, and the Empire has completely controlled North Issel."

Through the incarnation of "Count Hans", Cassius can truly understand the Empire's rule over Issel, and only Chief Minister Rump knows his true identity.

Although the people of North Issel are still not convinced and are somewhat "unaccustomed to the king's rule", their resistance has been mostly eliminated, and the new society under the rule of the Empire has gradually started to operate.

However, North Issel has not undergone much change yet, and the Empire's ruling method is mainly to maintain social stability, and has not touched the interests of some old forces.

Soon, the Empire's merchants and factory owners will flock to this undeveloped "virgin land", bringing towering chimneys, huge machines, long-burning electric lights, and - a new way of life to the people of North Issel. ,

"My body seems to have become much stronger, and this cave has become a little narrow."

Casius twisted his neck and looked down at his body, and found that his body had grown a lot. From the snout to the tip of the tail, it was nearly 60 meters long.

Moreover, after gradually digesting the power of the sun god, the red dragon's body was covered with a layer of light golden light, and even the pupils and the corners of the mouth had golden red flames, which made him look a little sacred.

"This power is very compatible with my body." Casius licked his lips, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal the greed that only belongs to the dragon.

"The power in the bodies of these dozen angels can bring me such an improvement. If I really ascend to the supreme position of the sun god."

Feeling the power in his body that seemed to burn everything, looking up at the sun hanging high in the sky and emitting thousands of feet of light, Casius immediately understood the choice of Aragon I.

Facing such a supreme and glorious position, who can remain rational?

Cassius looked at the magic communicator in the corner of the cave and found that it had accumulated several messages, all sent by Rump.

——I think the other party has successfully completed the task assigned by Cassius.

After years of getting along, Cassius has become accustomed to throwing all the troublesome work to the ogre magician, then falling asleep, and then accepting the other party's results with peace of mind after waking up, bringing Rump's "tool man" attribute to the extreme.

However, Rump is also very enthusiastic about sharing the worries of his master and fighting for the "great blueprint", and he will try his best to make things perfect every time.

"Beep——"

The light flickered in the communicator, projecting a magical image, on which was Rump's ugly and ferocious face, but at this moment he looked weak, and even the dragon scales could not cover the dark circles around his eyes.

"My noble master, you should have woken up when you saw this video. Congratulations on becoming stronger again."

After a few words of flattery, Trump went straight to the point and began to report the task assigned by Cassius: "The orc bodies you gave me are extremely dangerous, and they contain things that are enough to threaten the material plane.

Our researchers put these fungus-like orc remains in cultivation gardens in various environments. In just a few days, these orc remains multiplied in large quantities through the mycelium breaking and spore germination. Our researchers call them "orc spores."

The reproduction speed of orc spores is extremely fast. In a dark and humid environment, its number can increase dozens or even hundreds of times in a day.

When the number of orc spores reaches a certain limit, they will form something like a mushroom, and eggs will grow under the mushrooms, and inside the eggs will be newborn orcs. "

The ogre raised his hand, and images of the imperial cultivation park appeared in front of Cassius. The grasslands and wetlands were filled with huge green mushrooms, which were so densely packed that it made people feel scalp-numbing and creepy.

Trump continued, "Within a month, using the remains of the orcs you gave us, our researchers cultivated 1,200 green-skinned orcs. Physiologically speaking, they are a combination of animals and fungi." Symbiotic union, similar to the myconids of the Underdark, but far more powerful than them."

Trump waved his wand again, and a video appeared in the "PPT" report he produced.

"WAAAAAGH!"

I saw hundreds of green-skinned orcs trapped in cages. They roared chaotically and kept hitting the fence, trying to break through the barrier and go to the outside world to fight.

Outside the cage, Imperial researchers in chemical protective suits were carefully cleaning the remains of the orcs that had been torn into pieces by the wyverns to prevent these orc spores from spreading to the outside world.

In the glass isolation room next to it, bloody orcs were roaring, roaring, and struggling on the operating table.

Some of them had their arms and legs cut off, some had their chests cut open, and some orcs were even cut open vertically and made into biological specimens.

And those imperial researchers were carefully observing these cut tissues under the microscope, not caring about the green blood all over their bodies, and even their faces were full of excitement, shocked by this wonderful life form, and marveling at it.

Cassius stared at this bloody and terrifying R-rated picture, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Compared to the yelling green-skinned orcs, these Imperial researchers were more like real villains.

"As expected of a player."

——The native biology of Erezegai is not prosperous. Most of the biological researchers in these empires are experts in the field of biology from the earth.

They are extremely obsessed with the ecological system here that is "comparable to the real world". They stay in the game warehouse day and night, and even wrote a special "Erzege Biological Encyclopedia".

Trump in the video continued to report: "These green-skinned orcs are extremely strong, their strength is far greater than that of ordinary humans, and even close to ordinary ogres.

While they are aggressive, they are simple-minded, can feel almost no pain, and can also emit some kind of force field that disrupts spells. They are simply born tools of war. This is definitely not a natural product. "

"As expected"

Cassius rubbed his chin with his giant claws, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought carefully: "Such a familiar way of committing crimes is probably the work of the will of the abyss."

Sure enough, as soon as he thought of this, Trump said: "According to our investigation and research, the source of the power of these green-skinned orcs is likely to be an abyss lord."

As he spoke, Trump turned the page again.

A being covered in filth and looking like an unfinished human sculpture appeared in front of Cassius.

The torso is composed of flat sheets and curled fungi that happen to form a graceful female form, with four fibrous horns protruding from the brow bone.

Her lower body is a bundle of curly and thick whip-like pseudopods with fungus attached to the surface. Her skin was covered in sickening swirls of grey, blue, purple and black ringworm.

And those dark eyes were constantly moving, as if something was about to pour out of them, exuding an extremely chaotic and filthy aura.

"What the hell"

Seeing this, Cassius couldn't help but cursed and covered his eyes with dragon claws.

Such an appearance can no longer be said to be ugly, it is simply curious.

Even a dragon, a creature with a strong aesthetic tolerance, could not appreciate it. Cassius even had the urge to go to the bottomless abyss himself and burn this thing.

Trump introduced with a serious expression and a heavy voice: "This is the lord of the 222nd floor of the Bottomless Abyss, and the existence that we guess affects the orcs - the fungus lady Zugmoy.

We understand that Zurgmoi is a demon who controls fungi, often establishing disguised religions that are actually controlled by her true followers.

Thousands of years ago, she founded the Temple of the Elements, which believed in the essences of the four elements. However, the believers in the temple were all fungal creatures wearing human skin. "

Although he didn't want to hurt his eyes, Cassius still suppressed the discomfort and observed Mrs. Fungus in the image, with undisguised disgust in his pale golden pupils.

"The damn bottomless abyss actually created such a disgusting thing.

But he couldn't delay it any longer. In his memory, the orcs in his previous life had grown insignificantly for several years, and finally gave birth to a tide of beasts that covered the earth, causing a huge disaster. "

And now, now that they have understood the nature of these orcs, the Ember Empire must take action first to control the number of orcs. "

Thinking of this, Cassius's face turned cold: "Now North Issel has stabilized. In this case, marching to the Ugo Grassland in the northeast will also completely destroy the Red Blood Tribe.

As for occupying the mountain dwarf kingdom? For the current empire, it is just a matter of convenience. "

Soon, the communicator was activated again, and after a while, Trump's ugly face appeared in the magic image, becoming even more tired than in the video just now.

But after seeing the face of Lady Fungus, when he looked at Rump, Cassius thought that this ogre was also quite unique.

Rump's extremely tired face showed a rare look of excitement and joy: "Master, you are finally awake!"

Cassius nodded and gave an order directly: "Rump, tell the Imperial Senate to launch an offensive in the northeast direction. The Empire has rested for too long."

"Yes, Master."

Rump lowered his head and took the order solemnly.

Cassius's order did not need to be drafted by the Senate, let alone the consent of the Imperial Parliament - because the will of the Burning Emperor was the absolute will of the Empire, without any objection.

Blackstone Mountains, the capital of the Alpine Dwarf Kingdom - Avondeldan.

In the magnificent Dwarf Palace built on the mountain, a secret conversation was quietly going on.

".Remember, you must obey the orders of Lord Titus and live hard under the protection of his dragon wings." Ed said earnestly.

In front of him was a dwarf who was equally sturdy and strong, but his beard was not as thick as Ed's, and only covered half of his cheek.

He was Zen Klein, Ed's son, a prince who inherited the blood of the mountain royal family, and was also a strong and brave warrior.

Today, Zen is only in his fifties. According to the life span of the dwarves, he is still a young and energetic youth.

Zenn looked up and stared at Ed in front of him, his face showing resentment and confusion: "Father, why do you want me to leave here?

I am your son, but I am also a warrior of the Mountain Kingdom. I am not lacking in courage and faith. I will also live and die with Avenderdan, and let those invaders - whether orcs or dragons, see the heavy hammer of our dwarves!"

Ed looked bitter and sighed softly: "Zenn, I don't have much time to live, and I can't protect you anymore."

"Father, this, this is impossible! You are lying to me, right? You still look so strong and more energetic than me now."

Zen's expression became extremely shocked, and even his voice trembled.

Ed didn't explain too much, just shook his head, and then patted the dwarf prince on the shoulder: "Zenn, follow the Wings of Dawn.

Only in this way can the civilization of our Mountain Kingdom be continued." (End of this chapter)
