Lord of the Magical Beasts

“Master, I’m Elizabeth, and I have finally achieved an advancement.” As a “swooshing” sound echoed out, the Thousand-handed Blood Vine that turned into a Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva flew toward Yang Ling, and she spoke as she prostrated to him respectfully.

A queen?

Queen Elizabeth?

Yang Ling sweated profusely as he looked at the tall Thousand-handed Blood Vine, whose name was Elizabeth.

There was once a famous Queen Elizabeth in the old United Kingdom’s history, and she held power for 45 years. In that period, the United Kingdom’s economy was thriving, and literature had a glorious period. The famous author Shakespeare was born then, and their military got one of Earth’s strongest naval forces.

A queen! A lash, and a queen!

Yang Ling recalled the famous queen Elizabeth due to the Thousand-handed Blood Vine’s name, and he recalled another implication of the word “queen” in some Japanese Animes. The Thousand-handed Blood Vine was originally a Bloodsucking Vine with many tentacles, and as he looked at her resized, pretty face, her sexy body, as well as the noisy vines that danced in the sky, he couldn’t help but get some inappropriate thoughts about this.

The other queens held lashes, while the Thousand-handed Blood Vine had innumerable vines, and if she used all of them to lash someone, who would be able to bear it?

It was vile. It was really too vile!

“Stand up! You don’t have to call me master. Just call me lord like them.” Yang Ling shook his head and got rid of those vile thoughts. He said, “That is right! Elizabeth, which stage did you advance into?”

“The High-Level Deity Stage! Lord, I have advanced directly into the High-Level Deity Stage.”

The Thousand-handed Blood Vine stood up and flew excitedly into the air. As a “swooshing” noise echoed out, it stretched out innumerable tentacles, and they instantly penetrated a giant boulder a hundred feet from her. The boulder was filled with holes, turned into what looked like a honeycomb. Soon after, she let out a long cry and summoned over the innumerable Demonic Vines hiding in the cave.

After the Thousand-handed Blood Vine devoured the Demonic Vine King’s body and absorbed its Godhead’s energy, she didn’t just become a High-Level Deity by luck; she still inherited the Demonic Vine King’s innate gift and prestige. She could command all Demonic Vines, and she became the most unique Demonic Bloodsucking Vine King in the innumerable Planes. She couldn’t just command the Bloodsucking Vine Army; she could also command the Demonic Vine Army, and she became a true Queen of Vines.

A High-Level Deity!

When Yang Ling looked at the honeycomb-like boulder and observed with his senses the intense Energy Ripples within Elizabeth’s body, he was overjoyed. The addition of a High-Level Deity would greatly increase the Magical Beast Army’s prowess. He didn’t expect that, even though he had failed to tame the Demonic Vine King in time, he would get a rarer Demonic Bloodsucking Vine King, instead.

It didn’t seem like the Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva Elizabeth’s fighting prowess was any stronger than the Demonic Vine King, but she had greater potential. She had the Devouring Gift, which the Demonic Vine King didn’t possess, while her innumerable tentacles turned tougher.

“Good, pretty good. Let’s go and see what is in the cave’s depths.” Yang Ling wore a smile across his face as he observed the powerful Elizabeth and the innumerable Demonic Vines behind her.

Yang Ling experienced the power and the terror of those vines in the great battle, even though he had just used the Life-Sealing Domain to freeze a large number of Demonic Vines. If he moved those vines into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension and used the Beast Soul Altar to fuse them with numerous Bloodsucking Vines, then he might get a strong army of Mutant Demonic Bloodsucking Vines.

In addition, there was a lot of precious Pure Gold Sand in the cave. In the past, none could venture into the cave and dig out Pure Gold Sand Ore due to the obstruction of the Demonic Vines. But now, the situation was different, and the Thousand-handed Blood Vine that evolved became the queen of the numerous Demonic Vines. This meant that the whole cave was within his grasp.

“Yang Ling, you should go inside by yourself, and you should be careful in the way. If you run into any dangers, retreat promptly. We will bring up the rear for you outside and we will provide support for you.” After the Chief Elven Priestess muttered to herself irresolutely for a moment, she decided to stay outside. She didn’t plan to venture further with Yang Ling into the unfathomable cave. She had already consumed a large amount of Divine Power by summoning the Green Giant, and she must seize the time to recover.

“It’s fine. Even if we run into greater danger, we can still retreat in time. You can set your mind at ease.” Yang Ling asked Elizabeth to show them the way at the front and entered the cave, along with the Corpse Wizard King, Hydra, and others. He explored the interior carefully. He had the commander, Elizabeth, as well as a large group of local-born Demonic Vines to open up a path for him; this was why he felt quite relieved.

Swoosh!

The numerous Demonic Vines showed the way, and this was why Yang Ling’s group managed to quickly advance in the unfathomable cave. Everything was like they expected. They didn’t run into any other dangers, and the ferocious Demonic Vines were now docile, like sheep. They all made way for them!

On the way, Yang Ling casually dug out ten pieces of Pure Gold Sand Ore as big as his palm. As he ventured further into the cave, the ore size didn’t change, but their purity turned higher, and their quality became more excellent. If the ore was used to make weapons, it would surely make extremely sharp weapons.

Should he craft heavy armor or a large number of Pear Blossom Crossbows with the Pure Gold Sand?

Yang Ling looked at the hard Pure Gold Sand Ore in his hand and pondered inwardly how he could use them in a short time. A weapon factory was already built in the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension thanks to the efforts of Master Aaron and the Six-Winged Angel Leader Ophelia, and they had a large number of skilled workers, as well as comprehensive facilities. As long as they dug out enough Pure Gold Sand Ore, they would be able to start crafting weapons and equipment promptly.

The Pure Gold Sand Ore was quite hard, and if they used it to craft heavy armor, that armor would have shocking defensive power. It could be used to make Heavy Mammoth Cavalry, and it could be also used to craft Pear Blossom Crossbows, as well as crossbows arrows with a penetrative power greater than ordinary arrow by a great margin. If they applied the poison made by Alice on the arrows and shot them at the enemy, then even a powerful God-Level Expert would probably not dare to face them head-on.

The offense was the best defense!

Yang Ling quickly made a decision. He planned to craft a straightened version of Pear Blossom Crossbows.

The cave was quite deep, and this was why the crowd had to travel for a whole hour at a high speed. They were surprised to discover a large plaza in the depths of the cave, and small Demonic Vines’ seedling could be seen everywhere here. This region wasn’t like other places, and the soil was quite soft and damp here. It seemed like this was Demonic Vines’ reproduction and cultivation region. If one pried open the thick layer of soft soil, he would find Pure Gold Sand Ore of varied sizes underground, and there were even large pieces in a large expanse.

“Tsk, tsk. They have grown up by absorbing the Pure Gold Sand. It’s no wonder that those Demonic Vines’ tips are so tough.” When Yang Ling saw numerous Demonic Vines’ saplings taking root in the hardened Pure Gold Sand, he finally understood everything, and he understood why the mutant Demonic Vines were so tough.

“Lord, there are many excellent Pure Gold Sand Ores underground, and there are large reserves there.” The Thousand-handed Blood Vine Elizabeth stretched out her innumerable tentacles and penetrated the ground’s depths with it. She managed to quickly verify that there were reserves of Pure Gold Sand.

“It’s good… pretty good. Don’t let off even a single piece and dig out all of them.”

As Yang Ling spoke, he quickly took action and moved the innumerable Demonic Vines’ saplings into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. He built a large base for Demonic Vines near the Bloodsucking Vine Base before he summoned Ophelia and the other Blood Angels, as well as the numerous Sea Tribe’s warriors. They started digging out the Pure Gold Sand at the highest speed possible.

Pure Gold Sand Ore was quite hard and couldn’t be dug out by ordinary people. But they had the Demonic Vine Army, led by the Thousand-handed Blood Vine, so they quickly dug out piece after piece of excellent ore. Ophelia, the Corpse Wizard King, and others were also helping, and they quickly piled up the ore out from the depths so that it would be easier for Yang Ling to move it into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension.

There were innumerable Demonic Vines, the sturdy Sea Tribe’s warriors, as well as many powerful Magical Beasts. The cave quickly became buzzing with activity, and the crowd directed by the Six-Winged Angel Leader Ophelia divided up the work well. They started bustling quickly. The number of excellent Pure Gold Sand Ore extracted turned higher, and they quickly pilled up a mountain of them.

The strength was in numbers!

Yang Ling had the support of the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension, and he could get all personnel required. If he wanted a special tool, he could also order it quickly. If ordinary people discovered the Pure Gold Sand Ore inside the cave, they wouldn’t manage to dig out much of it in a whole year, even if they had a way to dig it out. But Yang Ling could dig out a large amount of Pure Gold Sand Ore in a meager two hours.

Yang Ling instructed the crowd to speed up and dig Pure Gold Sand Ore through the night before he turned around and walked out of the cave. The Six-Winged Angel Leader Ophelia and the Corpse Wizard King had outstanding management ability, so he didn’t have to worry about every detail with them here. He just had to come inside every so often to collect the Pure Gold Sand Ore into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension.

After the domain and Wizard Pagoda’s dimension was expanded, Yang Ling got more talented and outstanding followers, and he could now make more time to train. He could use his energy on studying the mysterious Wizard Spells and Laws, and he also had more time to pursue the trails of the Ancient Wizards.

“Yang Ling, is everything all right? Why did you come by yourself?” When the Chief Elven Priestess saw that Yang Ling had come out quickly by himself without the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and others, she got worried. She was afraid that an accident would occur again!

“I’m all right and it’s quite fine.” Yang Ling looked at the Chief Elven Priestess, who was concerned about him, and chuckled. “Priestess, just set your mind at ease. At dawn, I will offer you another gift.”

The Pure Gold Sand Ore in the cave’s depths was of excellent quality and there were large reserves of it. This was why Yang Ling didn’t mind offering the Sword God, Chief Elven Priestess, and Richardson a pile for every person.

“Did you discover a vein of Pure Gold Sand Ore in the cave’s depths?” Richardson’s eyes lit up, and he managed to quickly guess the gift mentioned by Yang Ling after he pondered over this. If he got the tough Pure Gold Sand, he would manage to craft a true weapon of a Cutting Edge Warrior, and he would manage to further increase his offensive power.

“That is right. I have discovered a vein of ore. It doesn’t have a large expanse, but it has large reserves.” Yang Ling chuckled and said with a smile, “If it’s possible, I hope that we will rest and reorganize our troops here for three days before setting off toward Sunset Plains.”

The Thousand-handed Blood Vine, Ophelia, and the others were quite swift and they quickly dug out pile after pile of excellent Pure Gold Sand Ore. But it wouldn’t be possible for them to empty the whole vein of ore in a single night. The Graveyard of Gods and Devils was filled with perils, and if he didn’t take advantage of this chance to take out all ore, he probably wouldn’t get another chance to come back, as this region would be shortly occupied by another person.

“Fine, no problem. I don’t mind waiting for a long time as long as I can get enough Pure Gold Sand to craft a murderous toy,” Richardson agreed readily. As long as he thought that he might get a chance to craft a weapon with Pure Gold Sand, he would get excited. Even the Wanderers’ leader didn’t have an objection, and the Sword God Gerald and the Chief Elven Priestess would also not oppose this.
