King Sanye was a little disappointed when he failed to obtain the mining rights and sales rights of the Dragon Kingdom Fire Crystal Mine, but the reasons given by King Taotie were irrefutable. The cause of the turmoil in the entire world was the use of the Fire Crystal Mine in the hands of the Golden Shield Empire.

Attempts to challenge the World Bank's position in international trade.

If the Emerald Forest gets the Dragon Kingdom's fire crystal again, I really don't know what problems it will cause. The Shuojin people will definitely be unhappy, and maybe they will put the Emerald Forest on the list of sanctions.

The Emerald Forest does not have the strength to challenge the World Bank, nor does it have a leader like the meteor, so it may not be a bad thing not to touch the fire crystal.

Next, Luke discussed trade cooperation with Agatha and the Clover King.

The dragon has a lot of treasure, but it is ultimately limited. Even if all the treasures in the dragon's lair are collected, it will not be enough to meet the subsequent series of expenses. This world confrontation is very different from ancient wars in terms of the resources and wealth consumed.

None of them can be compared to ancient wars.

Therefore, in the Dragon Kingdom, we cannot exhaust our efforts and must establish a trade chain that can continuously provide liquidity.

Both the Golden Shield Empire and the Emerald Forest have completed the industrialization of their countries and have a huge demand for raw materials. The Dragon Kingdom has no industry, but raw materials are everywhere in the mountains and plains, and selling resources can make money quickly.

After several days of negotiations, Luke, as the Taotie King, signed multiple trade cooperation agreements with the Golden Shield Empire and the Emerald Forest respectively. The Dragon Kingdom can provide wood, herbs, alchemical raw materials, coal, and seafood for export.

While the Golden Shield Empire and the Emerald Forest obtain raw materials from the Dragon Kingdom, they also need to provide industrialization assistance to the Dragon Kingdom.

King Taotie specially approved Jinjing Town as a special economic port of the Dragon Kingdom. In addition to the mining and transshipment of fire crystals, the Golden Shield Empire was obliged to transfer some of its heavy industries to Jinjing Town. The factory was jointly held by businessmen from the Dragon Kingdom and the Golden Shield Empire. The Dragon Kingdom

Have final decision-making authority.

In her own business, the left hand takes precedence over the right hand, and of course Agatha has no objection.

Then there is the assistance and cooperation between the Dragon Kingdom and the Emerald Forest in the fields of alchemy and light industry. These are what the Emerald Forest is good at, and the Three-leaf King certainly has no objection.

Cooperation agreement signed.

The Dragon Kingdom officially extended its tentacles into the world through the Golden Shield Empire and the Emerald Forest.

Agatha left King's Peak reluctantly after returning home with a full load.

When the two were alone at night, Luke told her that he was going to visit the underground world as the new king of the Dragon Kingdom.

Agatha didn't expect that Luke would head to the underground world non-stop just after he became the king of the Dragon Kingdom. She didn't know when they would see each other after this separation.

But Agatha knew...the bigger picture was more important.

The turmoil in the world caused the Shuojin Civilization, Angel Civilization, Purgatory Civilization, and Dragon Kingdom Civilization to respond fiercely.

Shuojin Civilization, the Council of Elders was reorganized, and Tan, a former debt collector, came to power. Many policies of the World Bank are undergoing rapid transformation, and Shuojin people are actively preparing for war.

In the angelic civilization, the Sword of Oath launched a coup, killed the previous archangel, and assumed the position of archangel as the chief holy angel. Sky City was ruled by fanatics and was also actively preparing for war.

Purgatory civilization, now the whole hell has been turned into a pot of porridge.

The dragon civilization elected a new king after a lapse of thousands of years.

Among the five ancient civilizations, only the Shadow Civilization did not seem to react much. After assassinating the Shuojin elders, there was no movement from the rulers of these underground worlds.

News spread from the underground world that many Shadow Clan members were assassinated, but the assassins have never been found.

All the Shadow Clan are excellent assassins.

He was assassinated, and we still don’t know who did it. It can be said to be a mockery of the entire shadow civilization.

Now all the Shadow Clan are holding their breath and vowing to find this assassin.

Luke knew that Sky City was working on connecting ancient civilizations, and angels had appeared many times in the Dragon Kingdom. They would definitely not let go of the shadow civilization.

No matter what ideas the Shadow Civilization has about the future world structure, it is necessary to know what state the Shadow Civilization is in now.

Therefore, Luke must go for this underground execution.

And go as soon as possible.

Not long after Agatha left the Dragon Kingdom, Luke received a reply from the Shadow Civilization.

As an ally in ancient wars, the Shadow Civilization was quite polite to the Dragon Kingdom. The letter congratulated King Taotie on becoming the king of the Dragon Kingdom and invited King Taotie to visit the underground world.

The invitation letter from the underground world arrived, and Luke made a detailed list of everything in the Dragon Kingdom, and then handed it over to King Tyron to perform the king's duties on his behalf.

After everything was arranged, Luke led the twilight dragon and the seven-headed dragon to leave the Dragon Kingdom and head to the underground world.

The underground world has a name, Gruzerei, which means "Land of the Labyrinth" in underground language.

The entrance to Gruzerei is located in the Antarctic of the world, where there is a deep pit covered with thousands of meters of ice and snow. Entering the deep pit through a gap in the ice is the underground world Gruzerei. The entire underground world is a complex

Labyrinths, some large caves, are home to a variety of underground creatures.

Some of the chiefs of the underground tribes are the shadow tribesmen who were parasitized by the shadow parasitic element.

Before going to Gruzerei, Luke had acquired knowledge of this underground world.

Social relations in the Gruzerai underworld are similar to those of ants.

The hierarchy of an underground biological tribe is fixed from birth and remains unchanged forever. The chief has absolute authority that cannot be questioned. At the bottom are the tribal leaders, warriors, overseers, and at the bottom are the prisoners.

All creatures are in their place and do not question the upper class.

Even if they let themselves die, they will not raise any questions.

There have been players who have tried to change the social system of Gruzerei and spread the idea that "princes and generals should live in harmony"... but none of them succeeded.

There is a supreme ruler in Gruzere.

He was the original shadow parasite. After the host died, he did not choose to change the host, but relied on the powerful spiritual power left by the host to survive.

Strictly speaking, future shadow parasites are his separated iterations.

His name is Darkest.

The owner of the Gruzerai underworld.

Luke led his dragons to fly south across the ocean and arrived at the coldest place in the world.

Antarctica is a restricted area for life. There is nothing here except endless glaciers. The deep pit leading to Gruzere is just under the glacier and can be reached through some cracks between the ice layers.

As a former ally, the dragon knows which fissures are both safe and allow for quick access to Gruzerei.

The dragons arriving at the South Pole change formation.

The black dragon Bale flew to the front, leading the dragon group to fly as the pilot dragon. The dragon group formed a line formation, with the dragons who had been to Gruzerei flying in front, and the twilight dragons who had never been to Gruzerei were at the back.

.

The group of dragons advanced quickly against the strong wind. Under the leadership of the black dragon Bale, they climbed over a mountain range. After reaching the top, they immediately entered into a dive.

An icy canyon appeared on the back of the mountain.

The Bingling Canyon is ten meters wide and less than one meter narrow. Bale, the black dragon, led the team into the canyon, and other giant dragons entered the canyon one after another without slowing down and roaring.

After entering the canyon, the environment inside becomes more complex.

There were protruding ice ridges everywhere, and unexpected turns. The dragons maintained their speed and shuttled through the gaps in the glacier with extremely flexible flying postures. In some narrow places, they needed to fold all the dragon wings before using them.

Only with magic help can you pass smoothly.

Luke, wearing dragon armor and spreading his dragon wings, was in the middle of the group of dragons. He was dodging obstacles at high speed, making him feel like he was playing a dodge flight game.

Fortunately, Luke's flying skills are quite good, and the human form is more dexterous than the dragon form, so he didn't have the embarrassing incident of crashing into the ice.

The flying speed was fast. As soon as Luke found the feeling on the track, the dragon group rushed through the glacier and rushed into a huge pit of unknown width.

The giant dragon summoned a fireball for illumination, but the light could not reach the edge of the giant pit. In this boundless darkness, even the giant dragon seemed extremely small.

After entering the deep pit, the dragons did not dare to fly so fast. They formed a three-layer defensive formation and maintained a controllable descent to prevent dangerous things from jumping out of the darkness.

The danger in the dark makes the dragons cautious.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, the dragons finally reached the bottom of the pit. There were countless passages extending to the underground world, most of which led to a labyrinth with nothing and no end. The black dragon Bale looked for the mark and found the path leading to the grid.

Ruzerai's Passage.

The dragons continued to shuttle through the passage.

After flying for about two days, the dragons finally arrived in the open underground world.

There are mountains and rivers here. There are stars composed of luminous obsidian above, providing Gruzerei with a visible glimmer of light.

In the plains between the mountains and rivers, there are also farmlands cultivated by underground races. Edible fungi and moss are planted in the farmlands, and the prisoners work in the farmlands under the supervision of overseers with whips.

The arrival of the dragons immediately attracted the attention of the underground race.

Several harpies flew close with flapping wings.

Harpies have a humanoid body, with the head of a human woman, arms with eagle wings, a slender waist, and feet with eagle claws. Harpies have no hands, but their claws are as flexible as their hands.

"Dragon..." The harpy headed by the leader was very nervous when facing so many dragons, but her duty allowed her to finish her sentence: "This is the territory of Chief Romanchenko of the Shadow Clan. Dragons, you are intruding.

Gruzerei, is there something important?"

Eiffel in human form flew forward, and she took out the invitation letter from the Dark Chief.

"The Taotie King of the Dragon Kingdom came to Gruzerei for a friendly visit at the invitation of the Dark Chief, the ruler of Gruzerei."

"The Gluttonous King!"

The harpy noticed the humanoid dragon surrounded by dragons.

The news that the Dragon Kingdom has elected a new king has spread in Gruzerei. Some information about King Taotie has naturally been known to the underground world.
