Chapter 1727: 577. What’s wrong with other names? Why insist on “Root”? See, something went wrong, right? – Extra update [19/30]_3
“Have the scouts already advanced to this point in droves?”
Murphy pondered to himself:
“It seems the Black Disaster’s army has already started to spread outwards. Marching from near Moss Valley to Blackflame Mountain Pass will take no more than ten days.
The Black Disaster…
The Black Disaster is truly coming.”
“There are a bunch of mischievous Wolf People bullying the weak in the valley ahead! We righteous ones cannot ignore this. You charge from the ground, and I’ll support from the air! After winning the battle, all the meat goes to the Cannibal Demons, and all the money goes to the Bear Goblins; I won’t take a penny!”
The Vampire Lord hesitated no more.
He stood up from Dazhuang’s broad shoulders, pointed forward to his henchmen, and shouted:
“Go! Charge!”
“Awooo! Meat! Delicious meat! Tender and juicy Wolf People steaks!”
Cannibal Demon Military Governor Dazhuang yelled as he began his charge, and the other Cannibal Demons followed suit, sprinting forward. These small giants, over five meters tall, ran at incredible speed, and the ground-shaking momentum made Murphy very satisfied.
What excellent Formation Breakers!
With better armor and weapons, they could definitely become the best monstrous infantry under Maxim’s command! It seems he needs to find a way to recruit more Cannibal Demons into the army.
These guys are the easiest to deal with; as long as there’s food, they’re ready for battle.
The issue is just that they eat a bit too much, but that’s not really a problem. If simply providing food can keep his country away from the threat of the Black Disaster, the Wolf Queen Majesty would definitely not hesitate to reward her loyal Governor of Transia.
The Cannibal Demons and Bear Goblins began their charge, while Murphy had already flown into the sky, hidden by the Shadow Cloak obscuring the sunlight, and casually took out the replica Night Luck Shotgun from his back. Although he had gained shooting specialization during the Blood Covenant with Adel, Murphy had focused on swordsmanship, making his shooting skills quite average.
Now was the perfect opportunity for some shooting.
The best thing about this Creator’s Gun in his hand was that it didn’t require physical bullets.
“Aim, shoot! How hard can it be?”
Suspended in the air, Murphy raised the gun and quickly locked onto a Wolf Person in the valley below through the auto-aim scope; the latter was finishing off a fallen Goat Man.
“Bang”
Using Murphy’s spiritual energy pool as the ammo storage, the gathered spiritual energy formed a bullet that flew out from the gun barrel, triggering the Night Luck special effect, which granted the bullet a “Piercing Critical” effect.
The fierce Wolf Person raised its knife with a sinister grin, but the next second, half of its body was instantly torn apart, blood gushing everywhere, frightening its Throne Wolf.
This brutal damage made Murphy very satisfied.
Though he had aimed at the guy’s head, the bullet hit the Wolf Person’s behind.
But that’s no problem at all!
Unfortunately, Murphy’s luck was spent for today; despite firing over ten shots afterwards, he couldn’t trigger the special effect of the gun again, quickly losing interest in gambling on luck.
**Damn!**
Listening to “Bloody Captain” Babro bragging, he claimed that after acquiring the gun, nearly every shot carried a powerful status, earning him the title of the luckiest man on the Misty Sea.
Moreover, the battlefield didn’t require Murphy’s support with bullets; after the red-eyed Cannibal Demons charged into the valley, the fate of those Wolf People cavalry was already sealed.
Dazhuang swung his Scrap Steel War Hammer, sending two Wolf People along with their wolves flying into the air.
The two unlucky ones were dead upon takeoff, and as they fell, a greedy Cannibal Demon jumped and caught them, chomping down with “juices spattering.”
The group of over twenty Cannibal Demons could walk sideways in the Dark Mountain Range, and the Wolf People, realizing they were unmatched, immediately retreated. But on the other side, Bear Goblin Cavalry were waiting; a chaotic barrage of explosive bullets eliminated the last chance for these unfortunate Wolf People to escape.
The desperate Goat Men were stunned.
They trembled in horror at the terrifying scene of Cannibal Demons “devouring everything,” and although the Wolf People had killed many of them before, at least for an instant, these robed Goat Men started to feel pity for the Wolf People’s plight.
The fate of being caught by a Cannibal Demon was definitely the most horrifying in all ghost stories in the Dark Mountain Range, especially when a Cannibal Demon with wild ideas intended to showcase their “astonishing” culinary skills; even a quick death was a luxury you couldn’t afford.
“Hey! How can you Goat Men have no conscience whatsoever?”
The Goat Men prepared to escape while the Cannibal Demons were feasting, lest they become part of a hearty meal as well. But just as they were helping each other leave, Murphy descended from the sky, aiming his shotgun at them.
The Vampire Lord said with annoyance:
“I and my righteous Cannibal Demon partners saved you all, and you don’t even say thank you? Furthermore, are you civilized Goat Men from Vidia Abyss City? I guess you’re part of the ‘Dark Root’ organization?
You’re here monitoring the Fallen Goatmen in Baphomet Canyon, right?”
“Y-you! How do you know us?”
The leading Goat Woman was taken aback, this furry being with reverse curved hooves and oversized buns, who knew how to embellish her hair with gold and silver jewelry, exclaimed:
“It’s rare for outsiders to know about Dark Root… Wait! You’re a vampire from the Blood Vulture Clan? Ah, that’s wonderful. The elders have been looking for our powerful ‘Honorary Elder’ Lady Triss for years. Excuse me, is she still around?”
“What?”
Murphy was dumbfounded.
He asked in return:
“My dear Triss is actually an ‘Honorary Elder’ in this ridiculously named Goat People organization called ‘Dark Root’? How many secrets are there in Triss’s past waiting for me to discover? Ah, she’s truly a mysterious woman.”
