Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1111: Chapter 904: Who Knows Who Will Have Bad Luck

The White Dragon Queen let out a long roar before slowly spiraling downwards.

”Blow! Blow the strongest wind as far as possible!” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ shouted loudly, ”Didn’t you guys make that trap yourselves! If you’re lazy, think about what you put in there!

Think about hundreds and thousands of you, and you’ll know how terrifying it is down there!

You wouldn’t let Edna get killed by her own people before she even steps outside, would you?”

Edna chuckled softly... then felt the gravity of the situation amidst the Old Age Striking King’s roar. Usually a roar from her Sanda King sister would hush the entire crowd, but the continuous shouting clearly indicated that the situation was so dire that one misstep could lead to total annihilation.

Watching the Undead Tribe nearly going mad with blowing strong winds, Edna silently reached into her robe and pulled out a magic scroll.

The storm created by the Undead Tribe was indeed quite powerful, blowing the scattered debris of plants and trees several hundred meters away.

But the Sanda King continued to shout, ”There’s a hole on the left, quickly, blow to the left!

If Edna gets poisoned, you’ll be sparring with me every day!”

The people of the Magic Cult and Black Rose knew well what this lady meant by sparring, and it basically involved besieging someone with the Wild Boar Legion... no one wants to wade into a muddy pit just by stepping outside.

So everyone capable of using Wind Magic was diligently working.

Edna felt countless BUFFs placed on her... especially those that required expensive, special materials to resist all elemental damage spells and rapidly neutralize toxins through divine arts... these were so costly that many among the Undead Tribe would rather choose to die than to spend on special defenses.

Indeed, the situation was quite serious.

Edna squinted her eyes and smiled, concentrating and observing, finally seizing the opportunity amidst the chaotic, swirling winds of varying directions. A terrifying tornado began to form in her hand... while she might not possess many Ninth Ring scrolls, the Eighth Rings were much easier to come by.

After all, her father... when Edna became a Seventh Circle Mage, her bracelet granted her access to the resources of an Eighth Ring Mage. This was the confidence that emboldened the young girl to venture out on adventures.

The enormous hurricane swept everything away, slowly devouring the small storms within it... then the ever-strengthening hurricane carried all the debris from the pit into that passage.

”Priest! Holy Rain.” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ ordered quickly.

Amidst a sky filled with golden-glowing rain, the beautiful and agile White Dragon, clutching a Vanda Tree with hundreds of people hanging from it, spun downward slowly towards the ground.

”Earth Magic, transform the soil!” Just as his feet touched the ground, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ shouted quickly, ”Move fast! We’ve reached the Underdark again!

Does anyone still want to have a close encounter with zombie Purple Worms?”

The moment the Undead Tribe landed, more than twenty people crouched down immediately, transforming the soil beneath their hands slowly into rock, like a vacuum cleaner thoroughly cleaning the land... possibly due to the small number of people, they chose the most basic transformation.

”Leonard, find a suitable place to plant the Vanda Tree, he should be able to monitor the movements underground, right?” Edna, a veteran of the Undead Tribe’s Underdark journey series, said. Lacking a strong mental fortitude, seeing the comprehensive shots of Purple Worms, zombies, and the Worm Mage makes it really hard to withstand until the end.

Thus she knew well that these ordinary rocks serve only as a preventive measure, ensuring those monsters can’t directly attack people, but they can’t stop them from coming out.

Instead, it’s better to let trees, with higher control over the land, monitor the underground movement.

Glancing at Edna, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ seemed to agree that her choice was better and immediately said, ”Earth Mages, go block up that cave entrance where we just threw things! Don’t wait for our people to walk in by mistake.”

Watching the mages swiftly summon mounts and dash over to block the entrance, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ turned to ask Edna, ”How are those people? Anyone hurt?”

Edna had earlier asked the Old Age Striking King to bring a few priests to check those from Quel Senta. So far, it’s been fine, just a few unfortunate ones got some scratches and bruises, at most a few ribs broken from reacting too slowly at the start. Under the all-encompassing Holy Rain, they healed quickly.

”All doing pretty well,” Edna replied with a smile, ”Shall we rest here today?”

”Yes,” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ nodded slightly, ”Miss Edna, take care and protect yourself well.”

Edna tilted her head slightly to look at him, ”You think this wasn’t an accident either?”

”Are there really any accidents in this godforsaken place of Toril?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ suddenly mused.

This time he really just intended to make some pocket change... Hill’s small town had many drinks with a nice flavor, though they were a bit pricey.

But to be fair, many of them came with added BUFFs!

The price can’t just be about taste or the cost of materials... it also depends on the BUFFs.

’Snow Cloud Peak’, though individually fed and unworried about the family’s hunger, found buying drinks regularly to be a heavy burden... Otherwise, he wouldn’t resort to protection tasks!

Especially since he was protecting Edna and Lynn’s brother... such a mission that must not fail, you can imagine how many brain cells would die.

Unfortunately, Lynn has been in contact with Hill for a long time and knows very well how to deal with them... If things don’t work out, just offer more money, and if that doesn’t work, simply switch families.

He can slack off and not earn that money himself, but can he watch other members of his family fail to earn it?

The Snow Old Dog, who initially wanted to ask for more, had to come honestly.

”Snow Cloud Peak” couldn’t help but sigh; he should have thought of it sooner. After all this time, it’s once again the moment when the war tasks start.

He has been so idle during this time that he’s almost forgotten how to think.

”Why sigh when you have nothing to do?” The Old Age Striking King said coldly from behind him, ”Even if you’re fortunate, you’ll sigh it all away yourself!

I ask you, should we send out a familial call for help right now?”

”Of course, we should!” Snow Cloud Peak forced a bitter smile, ”The money for protection tasks is indeed not enough to be shared by the whole family, but it’s better than failing.

If we can initiate the regional tasks, we wouldn’t lose out.”

The Old Age Striking King looked at him disdainfully: ”Isn’t that a given?

It’s a bit strange; I thought enemies would appear right after we dropped down, directly initiating the regional tasks!

Then we wouldn’t need to call for anyone, ugh!”

Snow Cloud Peak also couldn’t help showing a look of regret: ”Could it be that the enemy underground is also planning to come tomorrow morning? But we can’t wait! This location isn’t very good; it’s quite far from the Underground City, forget it, that money isn’t worth it anyway, starting the regional tasks’ rewards are better.”

The Undead Tribe, unable to achieve the best of both worlds, checked around the underground cavern with a head full of confusion... They’ve realized the size here is about the same as the valley above, so they’re being very cautious.

Edna is also somewhat surprised, busily instructing her team members to be careful and ready to retreat at any moment, temporarily staying close to the Vanda Tree.

The Vanda Tree, activated and blessed countless times, has defensive power far exceeding that of a warrior not yet transcendent.

While the people in the cavern are being cautious, Hill on the Floating Castle has a somewhat complicated feeling.

Shaer, laughing rare out loud, is happily speaking under the big tree: ”The Haber Family actually prepared quite thoroughly, there is indeed a Great Demon Commander’s Necromancy Knight Army waiting for them underground.

Of course, Haber didn’t expect Edna’s group to fall to their deaths; with the White Dragon Queen nearby, Edna certainly won’t die.

So if they find enemies waiting for them below, Edna and her group will certainly choose to fight desperately.

Necromancy Knight, a strong presence among undead creatures, isn’t easy to manufacture, if hundreds of Undead Tribe fought desperately, the losses would be too great.

Yet suddenly dropping thousands of meters deep, surely some people will get injured... Chaos will certainly ensue.

So these demons were planning to rush out while Edna and her group were healing... Guess where they originally hid?”

Hill looked at the giant screen... only the passageway chosen by the Undead Tribe is wide enough for a Knight Corps to charge through.

”The potions used by the Undead Tribe are effective even on undead creatures?” he couldn’t help but ask.

”What’s the difference between elemental bodies and undead bodies?” Celene replied with a grin.

”The poison used by the Undead Tribe is a bit odd.” Shaer said, puzzled, ”I can’t even tell what kind of poison it is, it’s like a hodgepodge, maybe it’s a hybrid of many poisons?”

”The Undead Tribe...” Hill reckoned it out suddenly, ”likes to use their failed Alchemy Potions against their kind... poisons and narcotics, most priests can dispel them.”

Celene ”Eh~” before saying, the strange types of elemental potions used by the Undead Tribe intrigued her more than Hill’s theory, ”Failed potions can do this?”

”Hmm...” Shaer recalled, ”I remember, once in the Elemental Realm, an Elemental Prince’s territory was treated as a garbage dump by some Archmage, who discarded a large number of failures.

And now, no element dares to go to that territory... even the Fire Element Prince was annihilated.”

”Alas...” Celene suddenly sighed, but she waited for no one’s questions... the Maiden of the Moon knew neither of the two would humor her, so she had to continue, ”What a pity, without crisis sensitivity, Edna is still just Edna.”

”What’s the hurry.” Shaer said flatly.

Celene complained loudly, ”Neverwinter has exploded! How is she not anxious yet?”

Hill turned his gaze to the roaring eruption of the great volcano in the North, ”The Haber Family, truly ruthless!”

”Having cooperated with demons already, you expect them to show any humanity?” Celene said sharply, ”Thank goodness Neverwinter Forest is big enough, and the dust hasn’t flown to your territory.”
