GDK 835: Murder and plunder
The underground base was made up of many square-shaped rooms stacked uniformly. Some of them were for storing items and some were for cultivation and dwelling. They were yellowish crystals embedded on the walls glowing with faint and warm evening lights. It was just bright enough to see things.
There were various unique defensive boundaries, powered by energy crystals, deployed around the base. Kage and his gang survived mainly by raiding the merchant caravans that traveled through the Fringe. They stored the goods they plundered in the warehouse section of their underground base to keep the items safe with them while looking for buyers.
The underground base was well defended. There were two highgod each securing each wing of the underground base. Most of the inhabitants of the Fringe dare not raid Kage’s base or even mess with his gang. Not all of them were afraid of Kage, but they were all certainly afraid of Salas.
Kage and his gang had grown bossy and unbridled because they had this enormous figure called Salas to lean on. They were not afraid of any gods living in the Fringe, save the followers of other Sovereigns. Most gods dared not mess with Kage because of Salas.
One after another, demon generals noiselessly flew out from Han Shuo and spread to the entire underground base. They covered every region and every chamber in the base, giving Han Shuo a complete vision of the entire base. It was better than using wallhacks in a video game.
After a while, Han Shuo put on a smile and instructed Han Tu, “Seal every path to the surface.”
Han Tu smiled mischievously before he stepped backward, leaned against the wall, and fused with the soil.
After carefully sensing for a moment, Han Shuo said to Han Hao and Rose, “Kage isn’t in the base, but that doesn’t matter. We will kill everyone inside and take everything they have.” He then turned to Han Jin and said, “The ores they stole from you aren't in here. It’s most likely that they are with Kage.”
“It’s no big deal,” Han Jin put on a smile and said, “Let’s get these bastards.”
Han Shuo nodded and calmly instructed, “Fire at will. Leave none alive.”
Han Hao and Rose charged into the base as soon as Han Shuo finished those words. They started murdering in two different paths. Miserable shrieks would play wherever they went.
Han Jin, Han Mu, Han Shui, and Han Huo also started raiding the base together. They could kill any midgod in split seconds just by using the bizarre energies on them and their telepathic teamwork. They did not even need to fuse their energies.
Han Shuo, however, stood where he was like a rock. He commanded the demon generals he positioned in every corner of the base to transform to their material form of sinister dark shadows and started wreaking havoc. At this time, there were close to a thousand demon generals in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon. He even had a few dozen demon generals of the highest grade refined using highgod souls. Han Shuo could easily cleanse the underground base with just his swarm of demon generals.
Even if there were twice the number of gods defending the underground base; even if Kage was home, they would still stand no chance against Han Shuo and his party. One after another, these followers of Kage shrieked miserably and collapsed.
In usual days, they were the aggressors, plundering and murdering the merchant caravans. But now that they were getting a taste of their own medicine; when they saw their accomplices rapidly fall to the enemy, they were terrified. They hastily ran to the tunnel that connected to the surface, trying to flee for their lives.
But unfortunately for those people, their only way out had been tightly sealed by Han Tu. Soon after entering the tunnel, they found that it was a dead-end and that earth-spikes were suddenly growing from the walls around them and the tunnel was collapsing. Most of them were impaled and crushed to death in a moment.
When under the ground, Han Tu’s strength would be amplified by several folds!
In this situation, even when pitted against a highgod, Han Tu would have the confidence to kill the expert by utilizing his environment, making attacks and defenses using the energy of earth all around him. No one could use the energy of earth better than he could.
Han Tu utilized earth energy excitedly and made the underground chambers shrink and collapse. Many of Kage’s henchmen could not react in time and were squashed alive. Those few who managed to escape from their rooms would find earth walls blocking their paths and trapping them.
Before they could escape from the earth-walls, an earth-dragon appeared out of nowhere and rammed the few midgods to death. Han Tu laughed heartily as he maneuvered the earth-dragon around. It slithered around the base and massacred Kage’s followers who were trapped in their own base.
It took Han Shuo and his party just minutes to kill the fifty or so gods in the underground base. Han Shuo had also released his Cauldron of Myriad Demon to collect the divine souls from the dead bodies.
“We are followers of Lord Kage. His Lordship is under the hegemony of Sovereign Salas. What you are doing now is the same as challenging the sovereignty of Lord Salas. You are courting death!” an expert with highgod strength yelled fiercely when Han Hao pointed his bone spear at him. His heart, however, was quivering in fear.
