nTime passed quickly.

nIt seemed to have happened in the blink of an eye.

nThe scorching sun that had been hanging high in the sky a moment ago dissipated its original heat and began to fall towards the western horizon.

n

"The end of the novice period is getting closer and closer. Only tonight's time is left!

"

n

"Time seems to be passing even faster!

"

nMike looked at the dense forest outside the castle that was gradually dimming.

nIn the blink of an eye, a day's time was about to pass.

nAfter tonight, the Beast Tide was about to arrive.

nTime was also becoming more and more pressing.

nThe earth dragon team led by Barr was about to return to the castle and end the hunt in the afternoon.

n

"The number of wild monsters hunted this afternoon is not that many.

"

n

"It seems that they are mainly investigating other local forces.

"

n

"There are only about 200 corpses of wild monsters hunted.

"

n

"Around 3,000 units of food and some monster materials have been collected.

"

nIf the earth dragons that were wiped out were included, today's hunt could be considered a bumper harvest.

nIn terms of energy stones, they had also harvested 40.

nHowever, this was already pretty good.

nAfter all, there were energy stones harvested every day.

nOver time, the conditions for upgrading the dragon lair could be met.

nThe number of energy stones in the warehouse also increased to 134.

nThe food was put on the shelves of the space exchange.

nThe monster materials were still sent to the little loli in the underground world.

nAt the same time, the earth dragon meat that was put on the shelves had all been sold out.

nNormal earth dragon meat, elite Earth dragon meat, and commander-level earth dragon meat.

nThey were all sold out.

nThe earth dragon was an Asian dragon-type monster with the bloodline of a giant dragon.

nIts meat could barely be related to a giant dragon.

nThis attracted many Castle Lords to rush over and buy it.

nAfter the earth dragon meat was sold out, Mike naturally made a huge profit.

nIn total, he obtained 25,000 units of wood and 18,000 units of stones.

nThe wood and stones in Mike's warehouse had long met the requirements for upgrading the Dragon King Castle to a town.

nAt present, all he lacked was refined iron.

nHowever, he would not stop buying after meeting the requirements for upgrading.

nAfter all, after upgrading to a town, he still needed to upgrade later.

nFor example, upgrading to the main city, kingdom, and empire needed a huge amount of upgrading materials.

nIf he bought more in the early stages, it would be easier to upgrade later.

nMike also looked at the castle's warehouse.

nHe carefully calculated the resources he had now.

n

"There are 142,330 units of wood, 64,500 units of stones, and 1,620 units of refined iron.

"

nOf course, Mike packed up the other monster materials and gave them to the Little Loli in the underground world.

nOther than wood, stones, and refined iron, there were only energy stones and strange crystals.

nThe 3,000 units of food that had just been put on the shelves today could be exchanged for a large amount of wood and stone.

nAfter the auction ended, he should be able to obtain a large amount of refined iron.

nWhether it was the wood and stone needed to upgrade the castle.

nOr the wood and stone needed to build the Holy Dragon Palace.

nHe did not need to worry about any of them.

nThe materials he had in reserve right now...

nWere all completely enough.

nBut as for refined iron, he only had as much as 1,600.

nIf he wanted to do both at the same time, he still needed as much as 13,000.

nBut the Little Loli in the underground world still had nearly 5,000 units of refined iron in stock.

nIf that was the case, he still needed more than 8,000 units of refined iron.

nIt all depended on whether the Castle Lords who were auctioned off tonight would give it their all.

n...

nAt the same time.

nIn the dense forest about six kilometers away from the Dragon King Castle.

nBetween the dense leaves.

nA huge figure gradually appeared.

nThe sphere of influence of the Dragon King Castle was three kilometers in circumference.

nBarr did not follow the earth dragon team back to the Dragon King Castle.

nInstead, he continued to search for the local forces of the other world continent hiding nearby.

nHe had not gained anything in the past few days.

nBut this afternoon, he was far away from the Dragon King castle.

nHe finally found traces of the local forces.

nA few short gnomes were shuttling through the dense jungle. They were extremely fast and agile, like big rats running fast.

nBar flapped his huge wings and followed behind these gnomes.

nInstead, he followed them, wanting to find the gnome tribe or nest.

n

"Run quickly!

"

n

"Go back and report to the chieftain that humans have invaded our territory.

"

n

"They created traps to capture and kill our clansmen!

"

n

"Unforgivable!

"

n

"Ask the chieftain to send a powerful army of gnome warriors to destroy those shameful humans!

"

nThe gnomes ran extremely fast.

nThe dense thistles and thorns could not slow them down at all.

nIn the blink of an eye, a few gnomes ran for two to three kilometers.

nFinally, they disappeared into a tree hole.

nThis was an ancient tree that was hundreds of meters tall, with luxuriant branches and leaves.

nA few meters away from the ground, there was a tree hole that was less than a meter in diameter.

nIt seemed to be formed naturally.

nThis tree hole was one of the entrances to the gnome's nest.

nBarr stopped there.

nThe Gnome's nest or tribe must be hidden in the underground world behind the tree hole.

n

"The entrance has been found!

"

n

"Go back and report to my Lord!

"

nBarr marked his position and turned to fly away.

nBefore long, he was far away.

nBut suddenly, several arrows shot towards him.

nTheir speed was extremely fast, and their angles were extremely tricky.

nBarr was a level 6, so he was naturally not afraid of ordinary long-range attacks of this level.

nHe waved his dragon claws and sent the arrows flying one by one.

nTurning around, he saw a group of humans surrounding him.

nAmong them, there were a few humans who were holding onto a large net made of vines and were directly closing in on him.

n

"Catch him!

"

n

"It's obviously a dragon!

"

n

"It's a rare monster!

"

n

"Even if we can't subdue it, we can still make a lot of money selling it!

"

n

"Big Brother Mike killed a group of earth dragons and made a lot of money!

"

n

"This is a dragon with a bloodline higher than earth dragons!

"

nA group of more than ten human warriors surrounded Barr.

nThe strongest was a tier 5 while the weakest was a tier 2.

nAt the back, there was a youth.

nHe was shouting orders, his expression agitated.

n

"You're courting death!

"

nBarr spat out a pitch-black fireball.

nThe huge fireball flew past.

nThe huge net of vines was instantly burnt to ashes.

nThere were also a few human warriors that were hit by the aftershocks, dying on the spot.

nAt this time, another arrow flew over.

nBarr ignored it and charged towards a tier 5 elite human warrior.

nYou, an elite human warrior, have a serious expression.

nHe held a wooden sword.

nAs he retreated, he unleashed his battle skills.

nJumping a few meters high, he slashed towards Barr.

nThe sword light was dazzling, slicing through dozens of meters, cutting through several trees.

nHowever, it did not hit Barr.

nInstead, Barr was forced to approach him.

nFacing the dragon claw that fell from the sky, he could only raise the wooden sword in his hand and try his best to block it.

nSwish, swish, swish!

nThe first claw broke the wooden sword.

nThe second claw cut open his defensive leather armor.

nThe third claw sent his head flying!

n...
