Chapter 2784: Chapter 16: Mysterious Treasure! Lici Strikes It Rich_4
"Impossible!" Ming Luo Demon Lord shook his head, "Even if we assume that the Barbaric Giant Tribe from the front line has the ability to come to the rear, with the capabilities of the human Ji Taichang, why would he send such a small unit here to harass us? They would have already smuggled elite forces over and flattened our rear base."
"Hmph, I think it’s just a wandering tribe of Barbarian Giants doing something foolish, thinking there’s only one Demon Lord at our base, hence the wrongful intention of snatch and flee. Ghost Scorpion Demon Lord, White Bone Demon Lord, may I trouble you two to join me in teaching that Barbarian Giant Division a lesson."
"Well..."
Ghost Scorpion Demon Lord was tasked with the significant mission of the Great Commander Apocalypse, and he truly didn’t want to allow unexpected incidents, so he hesitated slightly.
"Lord Ghost Scorpion, having our logistics stolen will affect the frontline battlefield." Ming Luo Demon Lord hurriedly said, "Moreover, if that Giant Division succeeds, experiencing the taste could lead them to spread word, possibly attracting more enemies. If I act alone, I can mostly just drive them away. It’s better for the three of us Demon Lords to join forces and directly annihilate that Barbarian Giant Division to set an example."
"How about this, I’ll give up eighty percent of the Merit Points from this battle, to be evenly divided between the two Demon Lords. That’s quite a substantial amount of Merit Points~ Besides, the Heavenly Lake and our base are almost next door; even if anything unexpected happens, we can return for defense within days without causing any delay."
For the Void Sea, a journey of a few days really feels like being next door.
Hearing Ming Luo Demon Lord’s words, Ghost Scorpion Demon Lord and White Bone Demon Lord couldn’t help but feel tempted.
Facing one against three makes exterminating the Barbarian Giants easy, but the Merit Points and benefits are substantial.
Another point is that they are now resting at the rear base, and by rule, need to participate in the defense; if they simply watch the logistics getting stolen without reaction, those who have been jealous of their favor might not let such a good opportunity slip, and would definitely impeach them in front of the Great Commander Apocalypse.
"Since that’s the case, the three of us will set off together." White Bone Demon Lord immediately made the decision, "We’ll go quickly and return fast, and maintain smooth communication with the base to ensure timely assistance in case of any emergency."
In fact, Ghost Scorpion Demon Lord and White Bone Demon Lord were also not overly worried about this being a trick to mislead them away.
The task they were on was ordered internally, even within the Demonic Clan it’s confidential, known only by a few, including the Great Commander Apocalypse. As for the other demonic clan members, they merely know they went out on a mission, but not the specifics or where exactly they went, naturally leaving no room to specifically target them.
Having decided, the two Demon Lords, not ones to drag things out, immediately joined Ming Luo Demon Lord boarding the Dark Demon Palace.
Soon.
The Dark Demon Palace began to activate, then quickly accelerated, tearing through space and heading deep towards the Heavenly Lake to urgently aid the demonic clan’s transport fleet.
Before leaving, Ming Luo Demon Lord handed over base guarding responsibilities to Jeluo Junior Devil Lord, delegating him to oversee matters temporarily.
Though Jeluo, as a Junior Devil Lord, was still too young and inexperienced, it was only a matter of sitting in for ten days or half a month; Ming Luo Demon Lord didn’t worry too much, confident of returning soon.
******
Over the next two days.
Jeluo Junior Devil Lord diligently patrolled for two days, holding the Ming Luo Demon Lord Command with great vigor as he went around giving orders, arranging things, adopting somewhat of the majestic demeanor of the old Ming Luo Demon Lord.
On this day.
After patrolling the outskirts of the logistics base as he did the previous two days, Jeluo Junior Devil Lord couldn’t help but recall the bits of information accidentally divulged by Ghost Scorpion Demon Lord during a wine feast.
From what he heard then, the two Demon Lords seemed to have brought back an extraordinary treasure from the Realm of Ruin, currently stored in the most central warehouse, waiting for Ming Luo Demon Lord to help transport it.
What caliber of treasure would attract such attention from the two Demon Lords, even being highly valued by the Great Commander Apocalypse?
Youthful curiosity tends to be intense.
Each time the Junior Devil Lord remembered the significance expressed by the two Demon Lords, his heart would itch uncontrollably, eager to take a peek.
With them present, he had no chance; now, he held the Demon Lord’s Command...
As thoughts flickered through Jeluo Demon God’s mind, he could no longer restrain himself, casually finding an excuse to leave the patrol team, and then, as no one was paying attention, he stealthily carried the Ming Luo Demon Lord Command into the core warehouse.
The core warehouse was spacious, neatly lined with rows of spatial cargo, various goods dazzlingly abundant, and many locked with warehouse doors affixed with demonic clan prohibitions, mysterious in nature, and unclear what lay inside.
Jeluo Junior Devil Lord, having grown up in this base, had visited the core warehouse countless times, and was naturally very familiar with the interior.
His gaze brushed over the dazzling array of cargo and went straight to find the treasure brought back by Ghost Scorpion Demon Lord, keen to open his eyes to it.
Suddenly.
The space inside the warehouse suddenly exhibited a concealed space fluctuation.
Then, right before Jeluo Junior Devil Lord, a silent spatial rift opened within the warehouse.
Jeluo Junior Devil Lord’s eyes widened in disbelief.
