In a dark mountainous area, Wind's group arrived after several days of continuous travel.
"So this is Dwarves colony?" Wind asked. He had obviously read about it in his previous life but seeing was a different thing.
"Yes." Plant King said.
Wind nodded and glanced at his group. Currently Lan & Saiyu both were at level 8 Master realm. This was a powerful cultivation base. Their techniques were also quite good, making them strong cultivators. Lan's senses had become very perceptive towards earth element.
Old knight Hei was at level 4 Sage realm. Plant king was sporting level 5 in the same realm. Wind on the other hand was at level 10 Master realm. Even though he dual cultivated with the midget girl, he also spared some time to ruminate and practice the other techniques he had. These techniques were Spear of the Chieftain, Clown Combat, Earthworm technique, Yun Acupressure, Bloodline Tracking & 10000 li sight technique. He in the recent past had fully merged Clown Combat technique with Sword Dance technique. And also, with Spear of the Chieftain technique to considerable extent. These three were his main combat techniques.
"The Dwarves colony is deep under the ground." Plant King reminded. "There will be intense heat and pressure."
"How much deep are we talking about?" Wind frowned as he looked straight down, using the 10000 li sight to his maximum capability but still couldn't see any colony ruins under the ground.
"Very deep." Plant King said pursing his lips and worriedly looked at Saiyu. Among everyone in the group, she was the only ordinary person. Hei was resourceful, Wind was a genius with many tricks up his sleeve, Plant King himself had wood element constitution, while Lan had earth element constitution. But Saiyu had no special perks except her talent in sex.
"Wear this." Hei suddenly said, having the same thoughts as Plant King. He whipped out a full body knight armor from his spatial ring & gave it to Saiyu. She wouldn't be able to endure the heat and pressure under the ground otherwise. Needless to say, the armor provided great defense and allowed one to endure pressure and heat.
Saiyu nodded and stripped down naked immediately. Looking at her sexy body, Hei had an urge to smack her head and pin her down & fuck her hard! Plant King had similar thoughts.
"Let's not waste time." Wind said, as though sensing their thoughts. Hei and Plant King smiled awkwardly while Saiyu finished wearing the armor. It was silvery white in color, made of unique metal. It was clinging snuggly tight to her body. It was made for female knights & could adjust itself according to wearer's size. The breastplate fit perfectly and on the twin cups, there were even nipples shape protruding outwards. This armor fit like an additional skin! Plus it was still thin, showcasing Saiyu's curves perfectly. Wind glanced at her and he also had an urge to strip her half naked and fuck her hard! But he shook this thought off his mind and looked at Lan instead who was pouting, sensing the heated gazes of the three men on Saiyu.
"Lead the way alongside Plant King." Wind said to Lan. "I and Saiyu will be behind you two. Hei watch our backs." He assigned their positions. Soon the group left off. Lan created a smooth tunnel going deep underground. They were all skidding on it instead of running. Why waste energy? Lan had already mastered the Earthworm technique perfectly. Creating a smooth tunnel was very easy for her. The ground above them closed off, leaving no tracks behind.
A few miles away from there, Xiao squatted down on the ground. She was currently wearing dark green male clothing as those were the only ones available inside the spatial rings she had. These clothes were rather loose but still couldn't hide her bountiful assets. In addition she was wearing metallic armlets and light breastplate armor. Xiao squinted & used Tracker technique to look underground.
"It must be too deep, beyond my ocular range." Xiao murmured. "Alright, let's see how deep it goes." She stowed away her clothes and armor into the ring, getting naked & then her body turned watery which splattered on the ground, seeping into the soil and flowing underground speedily.
---------
A few miles away from there, a man stepped into the mountainous area. He was wearing a black cloak. He had messy brown hair reaching down to his shoulders. He was sporting a full beard and moustache too. His eyes looked tired as though he hadn't slept in a long time. He was Wu Shang.
"So it's downwards from here huh?" Wu Shang thought. "Dwarves colony where resides 'that' person."
'That' person was the elder of Order of Chaos who had mastered the healing aspect of Chaos technique. Wu Shang wanted to learn this aspect in order to heal Karisa- the nun he had taken a liking to and was obsessed with healing her mental ailment. Karisa was the first one to succumb to 10 years of full moon dual cultivation technique. She lost her mind and was later experimented upon and used for breeding demons. Despite that, Wu Shang still wanted to heal her, mostly for the sake of his obsession. Thus he looked for someone who knew healing aspect of chaos technique and his search ultimately led him here.
With a swift move of his hand, a snake-like demon emerged from his spatial ring. Wu Shang currently owned tens of thousands of demons inside his ring that continuously bred with the nuns of Order of Chaos to birth even more demons. Karisa was one of the unfortunate nuns trapped inside the formation. Wu Shang used beast manipulation technique to control all these demons. Through his enhanced cultivation which was currently at level 6 in Sage realm, it was easier for him to utilize the demons. However, he only needed one at the moment to dig into the ground.
The snake demon rose high up and then came back down speedily, pierced into the ground with its spiky head, burrowing into the soil and creating a tunnel for Wu Shang to follow in. Wu Shang jumped into it, going towards the Dwarves colony.
------------
Meanwhile in South Carny castle elder Kim was kneeling before Koldorus. The atmosphere in the main hall was too intense and morbid.
"You fools…" Koldorus muttered. "Xiao defeated a bunch of you when we attacked this castle. How could you underestimate her? Her cultivation even turned out to be higher than yours. You really are all fools!" Koldorus snarled in anger.
Kim had apparently managed to reach Carny and told everything to Koldorus. From Sana's betrayal, her bastard child with Plant King, their pursuit and death of Plant King, sleuthing in Raya city and the battle with Xiao in the forest to deaths of Ling and Pyrus and Kim's lucky survival; Koldorus learned about everything that had transpired thus far.
"I don't want a massive territory." Koldorus then said with a frown. I didn't attack Carny for land or resources. I did it for that heirloom. & now it's far gone along with Xiao." He shook his head. "It seems now I have to personally make a move."
He then looked at Kim sternly. "Heal yourself quickly. Grab any women you want for dual cultivation too. Recover your cultivation. We'll soon embark on an expedition. I must obtain that heirloom!"
"Understood, my king." Kim kowtowed weakly and excused himself immediately to proceed with the orders he had just received.
"Dwarves colony…" Koldoru murmured with a stern expression.
--------
"Keep running!" Wind shouted. "Lan, create a tunnel fork!"
"Yes master!" Lan shouted and created two more tunnels diverging away from their main tunnel.
"Hei! Plant King!" Wind exclaimed and the two sprinted off into the two tunnels.
Booom! The main tunnel was infiltrated with a blast and a large beast growled, chasing after Wind's group before reaching the fork in the tunnel.
This beast had a long earthworm-like body and was as thick as an elephant. It had no eyes or nose. Only a mouth which contained several spiraling rows of jagged sharp teeth. It opened its mouth and breathed in, sensing the surroundings. Confused, it ignored the branch tunnels and resumed chasing Wind in the main tunnel.
Not long ago, Wind's group was ambushed by this underground worm. It was at level 7 Sage realm, very ferocious and troublesome. No attacks could pierce its thick skin and it had no weak points. It chased after Wind's group relentlessly as they tried to shake him off.
"It didn't take the bait." Wind thought as he observed the beast's actions through the 10000 li sight technique. "…but it's alright." Wind smiled as he stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"Master?!" Lan was shocked. Her heart beat loudly as she feared that Wind was going to fight the beast by himself.
"You and Saiyu keep going." Wind commanded. "Keep creating forks. Don't stint on energy."
"…A-as you wish, Master." Lan said. "Please take care!" Saying so, she rushed away with Saiyu.
Meanwhile situation was direr than what Lan could see. In Wind's vision there were about 20 such beasts around them! This was a massive force. These beasts were all in sage realm and had tough bodies. If Wind's group travelled together, they'd be surrounded in no time. Hence they all split under his command.
"Their insides are weak." Plant King suddenly said. He was using the Whispering Travelers technique. Everyone in the group had learnt it for ease of communication over distance.
"I got chewed up by a beast and hence discovered this fact." Plant King added.
"…" Everyone fell silent at once. Plant King's recovery speed was ridiculous. He just got chewed to death and still survived. Needless to say, Plant King had injured the beast to death from inside and came out to continue luring the other beasts away.
"My armor is strong enough to pull this off." Hei said as he equipped a full head helmet on top of his already full-body armor and then turned around to lunge at the beast coming at him.
Chomp! He was gobbled up by the beast. Soon, the beast growled in pain and wriggled intensely, whipping up a commotion in the tunnel before dying. Hei came back out from its jagged toothy mouth unhurt.
In the other tunnel Wind too was swallowed up by the beast. The beast had tried to chew him to death but Wind's Perfect Body cultivation technique had provided him immense defense! He was like a stone in the beast's mouth. Unable to chew, the beast swallowed him whole and regretted it immediately as Wind stabbed it to death from inside by a golden spear.
Saiyu was extremely brave too. Her armor provided her defense equivalent to Hei's. She charged into a beast's mouth and killed it from inside. Wielding a sword, having learnt the Sword Dance technique from Wind, along with the silvery knight armor, she looked like a powerful female knight. Bathed in blood, she came out victorious, returning to Lan's side. Lan was continuously extending the tunnels and creating new ones for her comrades. She could sense up to a large distance due to her connection with the earth, thanks to her earth element constitution.
In such manner, Wind's group got rid of all the beasts and collated soon, resuming their journey deeper into the ground. They suffered no injuries but Lan was frowning, having spent much energy.
"Do you need some energy?" Plant King asked and Lan nodded. They stopped momentarily as Plant King whipped out his long thick penis and stroked it a few times, quickly ejaculating about a liter of semen. Lan had knelt and cupped her hands to receive the semen and quickly drank it all down. Her energy immediately recovered thanks to the vibrant wood element traits Plant King's semen contained. They then resumed the journey.
--------------
Boom! Boom! Kreee! Multiple beasts & demons fought each other in an underground cave, enlarging it through their battle as rocks and soil fell down, and the beasts' tails dug through the walls. Wu Shang observed this battle calmly. His demons quickly killed the earthworm beasts, despite being weaker than them.
"Quantity is a quality of its own." Wu Shang said smiling a bit and continued going towards the Dwarves colony.
Meanwhile Xiao was easily just seeping down the ground without troubles. Her journey was the smoothest.
-----------
After a whole day of digging through the ground and fighting underground beasts of different kinds, Wind's group finally landed in a vast underground cave. It was as big as an entire city!
"Dwarves colony…" Wind murmured. He looked around and found that the Dwarves colony had no ruins. There were just caves and tunnels dug out everywhere. Metallic ores and stones of all kinds could be seen inside there. If excavated, these had some value to them but there was nothing eye-catching.
"I thought there would be gold down here." Lan murmured. She belonged to a merchant clan. Naturally she'd be interested in precious stones and metals. Gold was inevitably what came to her mind when she learnt of an underground colony of dwarves.
"There might be some gold." Wind said with a smile. "But we don't lack it though."
"Uh, yes, I was just…" Lan stuck out her tongue. Being with Saiyu was having some influence on her, making her cute.
"The colony's central hub should be in the middle." Plant King said. "If Maurice is here, he'd go to the hub. We might find him there and Xiao's son too."
"Let's do so then." Wind said and the group ventured forth. They were here to find Maurice & Qiang who might know about Xiao's whereabouts. Wind on the other hand one other purpose- to find the clue of revolutionary army. He needed their aid in order to fight against Jiao.
Boom! The ground suddenly shook with a loud sound and split apart, changing the terrain.
"Earthquake?" Saiyu asked while dodging the stones that fell down from above due to the tremors in the entire cave.
"It's a strategy formation." Wind said with a frown. He could see under the ground. There was a hidden formation deep underneath. The ground above it split open and moved accordingly. Soon the formation revealed its structure.
"A multi layered formation." Hei uttered. "Each level must have its different hurdles?"
"Yes." Wind said, gazing into the dark abyss below them. The ground was more like a large staircase, leading deep underground into the heart of the formation. Each stair was like a huge ground, containing traps and beasts hiding in ambush.
"Well, ignore it. Charge straight ahead." Wind said. "Our goal is reaching the center of the cave, not some side quest which is obviously a trap. Who the fuck cares about what's at the bottom of it?"
"Pffft… hahahah!" Plant King laughed, followed by others.
"Your clear sight is quite amazing." Plant King said with a smile. "Alright. Let's go straight ahead.
Swoosh! The group moved speedily, traversing the cave. They all had multiple support techniques allowing them to look out for traps if any.
------------
In a room somewhere, a woman frowned and flipped a table in frustration.
"What nonsense is this!?" She shouted. "Why didn't they take the bait? Any logical person would walk down the formation to brave the hurdles, in order to seek what lies below. Why are they moving away from it?" She continued to grumble as she saw Wind's group in a magical mirror.
This woman was tall and had blue eyes which glimmered in the dark. Her hair too were deep blue and lustrous. Her skin was milky white and she had a beautiful face. She could literally rival Xiao in terms of beauty. What was worth noticing that she was sporting a pair of long elf ears! She also had a big rack! Her breasts were big…no; huge and plump! Even bigger than Xiao's! Her hips were also not lacking in size. She had a curvaceous body barely covered in a white gown. She was wearing blue bangles on her wrists as accessories.
"Humph. Don't think you can invade my territory and ruin my peace of mind without consequences. I have many traps along the way here." She smiled.
"Oh? You upgraded Dwarves colony?" Another woman asked as she stepped into the room through a secret door.
"!!!" The elf's heart jumped as she turned around and stared at this woman who had walked straight into her room.
"Long time no see, elder sister Aerin." This woman smiled venomously.
"Maya! Why are you here?!" The elf exclaimed while looking over at the group of people Maya had brought in with her. They all soon fanned out, surrounding the elf.
"Why do you think?" Maya asked back smilingly. "You're the last hurdle in our path. After getting rid of you, Order of Chaos will be completely in our grasp! Then we'll proceed with our thousands of years old plan, hahaha!" She laughed boldly.
"Wicked witch! Backstabbing vixen!" Aerin cursed as she felt apprehensive. There were 7 nuns with Maya. They were all in Master realm cultivation. But Maya herself had seemingly leapt up in cultivation, reaching level 2 Sage realm. But Aerin wasn't a push over either.
"You're inside my lair." Aerin spoke. "& I am at level 7 Sage realm. You stand no chance against me. I suggest you give up and surrender. I'll take pity on you and spare your life."
"Hahaha! You must be joking Aerin." Maya laughed. "Don't boast your level. We all know you're only a healer. You have no offensive or defensive techniques. You're a master of strategy formations and that alone is a strong skill but currently you're in the core of the formation you've set up. The formation cores are devoid of any traps or assault mechanism or even magic spells."
"…"Aerin's expression turned fearful. She had apparently been just faking confidence and trying to deter Maya's group but she'd been seen through so easily by the wicked Maya.
"Mmm. How dare you sport those massive udders and take the highest seat in the order of chaos?" Maya spoke as she walked towards Aerin slowly, instilling fear in Aerin's heart. "I'll chop off your breasts and then defile your purity before killing you!" A murderous aura spread into the room.
"Y-you! I've spent centuries in helping your human race!" Aerin shouted. "How could you harbor such malicious intentions towards me? I've never hurt any of you. I even helped your Order of Chaos over the decades."
"So?" Maya asked. "Is there a rule that kindness should be repaid with kindness? For our plans to succeed, you must die. Aren't you tired of having lived for so long anyway?"
"Don't take a single step forward. I'll curse you with my magic!" Aerin shouted.
"Humph! Hollow threats. If you had any curse magic spells, you would have already used them." Maya snorted and took out a whip, smiling at Aerin. "I'm going to have so much fun with you. Hehe."
The whip was slashed towards Aerin and made a cracking sound. Her feminine scream echoed in the room.
--------------
Outside, Wind's group was traversing rapidly. They encountered several traps and hidden weapons, pits of acid, beasts and whatnot. But against their powerful group, all the hindrances couldn't last a few minutes. But, this group suddenly met its match as dozens of dwarves emerged from under the ground.
"So, they do exist huh." Wind uttered.
"I could not see them." Hei informed.
"I couldn't tell them apart either." Lan added. "They all have large amounts of earth element traits, making them undistinguishable from the ground."
"They have some camouflage technique too." Wind said. "I couldn't see them with 10000 li sight technique."
"Well, no matter. I think we're on the right track." Plant King said casually. "Let's try talking things out."
The dwarves were all muscular midgets. They were as tall as goblins but were said to possess higher intellect and they were naturally several times stronger than humans. This group consisted of all Master realm cultivators carrying blunt weapons such as clubs and maces. Their eyes had no pupils and they had long facial hairs. They were also all naked. Their dongs were thick and as long as their legs. At once, Saiyu drew in a sharp breath and bit her bottom lip.
"Dwarves, we mean no harm." Plant King said aloud. "We're looking for a black man named Maurice and a young boy with him. Have you seen them?"
Graaaah!! The dwarves growled madly and sprinted towards Wind's group.
"Is that yes, or no?" Plant King asked again and then shrugged.
"Hahah!" Wind chuckled.
Shing! Shing! Shing! Swords were unsheathed as Wind's group prepared to fight the dwarves.
"Shall we kill them or spare them?" Hei asked. "They are endangered species."
"Extinct." Wind said. "These dwarves are seemingly all dead bodies being controlled by the formation under the ground here. They're like puppets."
"They aren't alive?" Saiyu asked while pouting. "Tch. Do you think they can still get an erection?"
"…" Paying her no mind, the group sprinted towards the dwarves to meet them in a bloody combat.
"Wait for me!" Saiyu called out, chasing after them.
The two groups collided and weapons clashed. Loud sounds echoed quickly after as numerous techniques were used.
--------------
Meanwhile in the central hub, inside a room filled with dwarf machinery and elf formation controls, several mirrors which showed the different scenes of the Dwarves colony; a curvaceous beautiful elf woman was backed into a corner. She had numerous whip marks on her white skin. Her thin white gown had been ripped from several places and was barely hanging by the threads.
"Why…why aren't my wounds healing?!" Aerin muttered as she revolved her chi through her meridians to use healing magic on herself. But the magic was ineffective on the wounds.
"Did you really think we would come unprepared?" Maya smirk and cracked the whip, attacked Aerin again.
"Kyaah!!" Aerin screamed and turned towards the wall only to be whipped on her back and hips.
Fwipp! Fwipp!! Maya kept lashing the whip at her, especially targeting Aerin's big round hips, ripping through the gown, revealing her sexy white buttocks before turning them bloody. There was a thong string stuffed deep between her hips. Maya smirked viciously as she stared at Aerin's ass and whipped her some more.
"I cultivate a unique type empyrean level poisonous technique." Maya spoke. "I acquired it specifically to deal with your healing magic. You have nothing that can protect you from me, Aerin."
"Think again." A familiar voice echoed in the room as a man draped in black armor walked into the room through another secret door. This man was bulky and black. He had short braided hair and clear black eyes. He was holding a large butcher-knife like blade in his right hand. Closely following him was a teenager boy, sporting shoulder-long green hair, baggy clothes but bright green eyes.
"Aerin still has some friends." The man spoke as he stood between the elf and Maya.
"Maurice & Qiang!" Maya exclaimed staring at the two.
