Chapter 314 - 314 Not Even Letting The Corpses Off
314 Not Even Letting The Corpses Off
“I don’t need the heroes of Dark Region City.” Su Wan waved her hand.
“Then what is it that you request?”
“I need you to help me spread a message throughout the underground world,” said Su Wan. “You can spread the message that I am recruiting heroes to my territories from the underground world. As long as they can offer what I seek, they will be given a place in my territory and will have to live on the surface.”
Felix was relieved. “Leave it to me! I will make sure everyone hears about this.”
The influence of Dark Region City in the underground world was huge. Su Wan smiled. She would definitely find some heroes who would be willing to join.
The next day, the Dark Region City spread the news far and wide.
To the people from the surface, the underground world represented a wealth of resources. To those in the underground world, the surface represented safety, food, clean water, and fertile lands.
The possibility of being able to live on the surface was a very attractive prospect in itself. Su Wan’s offer of recruitment spread like wildfire.
Su Wan was still unaware of how much of an effect her words would have on the underground world.
That day, Su Wan was woken by Felix.
Although there was no sun in the underground world, the residents still divided their time into day and night. The glowing moss dimmed after twelve hours which signaled to the residents that it was nighttime.
“Vice President Su Wan, I remember you saying that you wanted to buy corpses of wild beasts?” asked Felix as they were having breakfast.
“Yes!”
“Some of the underground troops went on a hunt and brought along many corpses of the wild beasts if you want to have a look. They have been preserved in the south of the city.”
“Would you be willing to take me there? I’ll buy those that I need.”
One of her troops, the Rotten Cavalry, could devour corpses to become stronger. These corpses could also nurture the Night Devil Bees.
Felix was more than willing to show her the way. After breakfast, he led the way to the south of the city. As they headed out of his mansion, Su Wan looked around curiously.
This was the first time she was strolling in the streets of the Dark Region City. The buildings here were completely different from the ones on the surface.
The houses on both sides of the street were built with stones. They were as strong as fortresses. Even a catapult might not be able to blast through. The roof was like a small awl with an arc, and the sharp blade was of steel.
It wasn’t a roof to block the rain, but a weapon to defend against enemy invasion.
The houses were connected to each other very closely. They looked like teeth. Long, narrow, and sharp.
If the enemy launched an attack from the sky, the residents could avoid injury and hide in their homes. Moreover, the houses were attached to caves, which functioned as shelters. The residents could escape to the shelters directly from their houses.
This place was designed to withstand a war. They had thought of all kinds of possibilities.
Su Wan was curious. In such a place, it was no wonder that the dwarves couldn’t attack using their cannons. Even if the enemies were many, they couldn’t do much damage here.
While Su Wan looked around with curiosity, the residents also stared at her.
With Felix personally accompanying her through the streets, they felt that she was someone important. Besides, the aura was apparent enough to show them that she was from the surface. She looked and felt different.
“Have you heard? That human Overlord is recruiting heroes. If she takes a fancy to them, they will be taken back to the surface! I heard the surface is full of vitality. They have food and clean water!”
“It might be just a rumor. Why would humans be willing to recruit underground heroes? Aren’t they afraid?”
“Did you see the Dark Demon Dragon with the human Lord? Do you think the humans will be afraid of underground heroes with someone like him on their side?”
“That’s true, but… who knows what we will find at the surface? What if they want to take us to the surface and murder us?”
“Are you an idiot? Do you know how powerful that Lord is? Why would she take so much effort to recruit heroes from here just to murder them?”
The residents talked and discussed. They were very curious about the surface world.
However, no one dared to step forward and pester Su Wan. They respected and feared Felix. They stood at the side and watched.
“Felix, our trade shouldn’t just be limited to weapons and equipment. Important and legendary items dropped by beasts could be traded too.”
Felix nodded. He promised to spread the word through the underground world. He was sure that other areas would be happy to hear this.
It also benefited Felix. As a middleman, the more striking things he could find for her, the more his city would benefit from it.
After a brief discussion, they arrived at the place, where the corpses of the beasts were preserved and stored. Crisp white grasses covered the corpses.
Su Wan had seen this type of grass before. It seemed to be native to the underground world and prevented the corpses from rotting. It was called Flowing Light Grass.
The monster’s corpse was faintly discernible from among the leaves.
“This is the monster we hunted.” Felix scrunched his nose. The stench was unbearable.
The underground monsters were poisonous and inedible, which really frustrated him. He was only here to show it to Su Wan, in case she wanted to buy it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even look at it.
The monsters were of no use in the underground. They were also very difficult to hunt.
If not for the depleting food resources, Felix wouldn’t have agreed to trade corpses of wild beasts with Su Wan. It just wasn’t worth it. The hunters often got killed by the monsters in the process.
Su Wan looked at the dead beast with interest. The monster seemed to be at least Level 10.
