Chapter 1379: Chapter 1043: Before Departure_2

Based on the blood quality and quantity offered, different conversions will be made. The lowest grade is the cheap blood like that of Dog-headed Men and Rat-men, and the tax rate is the most severe. Almost every visit almost leads to extermination.

Born quickly, harvested quickly.

It’s almost like Hell’s chives.

As the edge of the Depth Area, the desolate Rusty Tower Forest cannot escape the tax of the Fallen Country— the tax here is constant, requiring the offering of blood equal in weight to a Crowned one.

Either pay the blood tax when the Fallen Country’s legion arrives or take away a Crowned one.

No exceptions.

When unable to pay, it’s not uncommon for Hell to be slaughtered for blood collection.

Now, not only are the Snake-men beginning migration, but long before that, countless villages have already started fleeing. After a taste for the feast of Crowned ones, Huai Shi couldn’t be bothered with the small fish and shrimp.

"Is there a destination?" Huai Shi asked.

"You need not worry, sir," said the Elder. "We have villages in every depth. People from two villages have contacted me, and no matter where, young ones and pregnant women are precious members."

While answering, the Elder’s expression remained calm, unmoved by the village’s departure.

Snake-man migration is not uncommon.

By nature, they don’t stay in one place for too long. Once a village’s population grows too large to sustain survival, it will voluntarily split and initiate new migration.

Moreover, they are often recruited by the Owner of the Great Mob in various depths for combat.

Gathering and dispersing are common.

Snake-men, naturally cold, do not fear death, nor do they care about parting. As long as the laws and the blessing of The Eternal Ring remain, and they can return to their homeland after death, nothing else matters.

Now, the original High Priest has become the new Owner of the Great Mob, replacing the Elder employed by Huai Shi, continuing to lead the new village to migrate.

And the Elder will remain as the leader of the Undead Army and White Scale Guards, continuing to serve Huai Shi until the war ends.

Not only that, he also carries a new mission.

——To recruit more mobs for Huai Shi.

Having too much money is troublesome.

Spoils of war are so plentiful they’re unused.

After completely destroying the village where five Crowned ones were located, Huai Shi naturally accepted their remaining property, including their lives.

Including the treasury.

Beyond a large number of rare materials and treasures, what was most abundant were various disaster coins and equivalences used for transactions between Hell.

For Huai Shi, these things were only useful to melt down into outer armor.

All battle junk.

According to his plan, these unused things were supposed to be thrown to the Elders, but the size of the fortune was so excessive that the Elder calculated that, including himself, even selling himself ten times might not repay this reward.

Out of respect for Huai Shi and pride as a warrior, she proposed a new plan.

Realize it on the spot.

Aside from leaving a portion as tail payment as compensation for the Evergreen Village, all other properties were used to recruit other mobs.

So far, a total of four Snake-man villages from neighboring depths have responded to the Elder’s call, willing to serve Huai Shi.

With the Elder’s guarantee for their credibility and loyalty, Huai Shi was not worried about trouble.

Moreover, he has now been enshrined with the Emblem of Verdancy, becoming a hero and spiritual leader for the Snake-men, possibly bringing additional morale boosts.

Huai Shi simply handed all these matters over to the Elder to resolve.

Shortly after the blessing ceremony ended, he had already returned to the current transformation workshop of the Sun Boat.

After complex outer cleaning and disinfection, Huai Shi finally changed into light clothing, entered the airtight chamber, and skillfully fetched a can of soda from the fridge.

Finally, he can rest!

He slumped lazily on the chair, took out his phone, wanting to watch an update. He realized when the screen lit up that there was no signal in Hell.

Moreover, the accumulated updates had all been watched already.

Even half of them were leave slips!

Huai Shi frowned: The damn author writes so little every day; after a month, they’ve only got seventy or eighty thousand words and still sends out knives. It’s too much slacking!

Next time, just bind them in Hell to write!

"Back already?"

In the inner layer of the workshop, Anton came out holding a stack of blueprints, glanced at Huai Shi on the sofa, and paused slightly.

"You look much calmer," he asked curiously, "Did something good happen?"

"Hmm?"

Huai Shi was puzzled, "Did it?"

"Yes," the old Professor nodded, "At least you don’t seem as frightening."

Huai Shi was slightly surprised.

But had nothing to say in return.

As a hero safeguarding the Current Circumstances, a member of the Heavenly Kingdom Genealogy, he unabashedly stirs up war and slaughter in Hell, not even leaving a retreat or chance for enemies, exterminating all, not even sparing Souls and corpses.

He shook his head self-mockingly.

Does this mean he is beginning to lose himself, become depraved, and indulge in power and desire?

"To a certain extent, I quite like Hell."

Huai Shi sighed softly, "Though I possess certain talents that aren’t considered good, here, I can freely express myself without worrying about harming those I care about and wish to protect, causing irreversible evil consequences...
