Chapter 38 The Enigmatic Storm Valley

“You can copy my abilities, but how can you copy my armor and my weapon?” Su Chen’s voice echoed in Lin Ke’s ears.

Lin Ke then turned his head to look at his opponent’s armor. There was not even a mark on the spot where he had cut him.

“This…”

Lin Ke wanted to say something, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. His body fell to the ground.

“The… The Knight was killed in seconds?”

At the castle, the soldiers who were controlling the defense towers had their jaws hanging in shock as they looked at Lin Ke who had collapsed.

“Even a sneak attack can’t defeat the opponent? The beast tide this time is simply a nightmare!”

The soldiers were all in despair, and they did not even have the desire to attack the orcs anymore. “I’ll give you two choices. First, hand over all your treasures. Second, let me kill you and I’ll go find the treasures myself.”

Su Chen cut open the city gate with his sword and carried Lin Ke into the castle.

“I… I… I’ll hand over all the treasures!”

Lin Ke’s voice was trembling, and tears were welling up in his eyes.

He realized that his castle had failed, and his territory had been successfully invaded.

Disappointed and upset, Lin Ke immediately sent this message to the chat channel.

Without a doubt, the other Bravehearts only thought he was joking, and so no one believed him.

After all, how could the chosen one, who had drawn five SSS-tier items in a row, be defeated by a beast tide?

Fortunately, Lin Ke was going to take Su Chen to find the treasure, so he did not have to show his shame in front of his subordinates.

Not long after, all the treasures in the Land of Thorns had fallen into Su Chen’s hands.

This time, not only did they collect a lot of materials, but they also picked up a large number of spoils of war, which could be exchanged for a lot of cultivation rooms.

However, among these treasures, Su Chen saw something that surprised him.

“Why do you have a Dragon Crystal? Don’t tell me you have dragon eggs too?”

A Dragon Crystal had appeared in Lin Ke’s treasure, which was beyond Su Chen’s expectations.

Lin Ke looked at the Dragon Crystal and sighed, “I found this in a place called the Crouching Dragon Cave.”

“That was a long time ago. We found a large number of Dragon Crystals, but we were attacked by the Demon Dragon when we left. The rest of the Bravehearts were all killed.

“I also used up all my items and threw away almost all the Dragon Crystals just to escape.”

Su Chen furrowed his brows and started analyzing based on Lin Ke’s story.

“Demon Dragon? Is it the Demon Dragon of Storm Valley?”

“It should be. There shouldn’t be any other dragons in this area,” replied Lin Ke.

Su Chen nodded. He already had some answers to himself.

“In that case, the Crouching Dragon Cave should have a connection with the Demon Dragon from Storm Valley. Based on Lin Ke’s answer, Su Chen had a plan in his mind.

“If I find a way to lure the Demon Dragon away and sneak into the castle, would I be able to steal what I want easily?” he asked.

Although it was ridiculous, Su Chen felt that the plan was feasible.

“Someone, go to the bushes outside the city and find Firestorm.”

Su Chen was ready to try this method. He sent someone to find Firestorm and asked Lin Ke to repeat what he had just said later.

“Remember, when we talk about it again later, don’t say that the Demon Dragon will be there, but mention that there are many Dragon Crystals in the cave!”

Lin Ke nodded and heeded Su Chen’s words.

After the Tauren Leader brought Firestorm, Lin Ke retold the story.

At first, Firestorm was puzzled. He did not know why Su Chen wanted to save him.

Then, his gaze turned to shock. Why did he tell him such an important thing?

In the end, Su Chen made him understand everything

“You’re too weak. Why don’t you go to the Demon Dragon Cave and find some treasures before you invade my territory?”

Firestorm was enraged by Su Chen’s statement. He gritted his teeth and glared at Su Chen.

“What an arrogant fella! When I find enough Dragon Crystals for that Lord, he will grant me even greater power. At that time, I will definitely take your head!”

The Dark Invasion ended, and Firestorm returned to The Dark World through the vortex.

However, Su Chen did not plan on returning to the Dark World. Instead, he darkened the Land of Thorns and continued to ask Lin Ke questions.

“How much do you know about the Spiritual Energy Crystals and Storm Valley?”

He had learned about Spiritual Energy Crystals in the Swordsmithing Valley. They were extremely rare and could be used to forge legendary equipment.

“There should be Spiritual Energy Crystals in Storm Valley, but it’s extremely difficult to get there.”

Lin Ke’s face was filled with fear again. He refused to recall anything.

“The Demon Dragon lives in Storm Valley and it is very special. I bet that before I tell you the reason, none of you will be able to imagine it.”

Lin Ke swallowed his saliva and deliberately slowed down the speed of his speech. He turned his head to look at the others’ expressions.

It was not until he saw Su Chen shake the longsword that he continued, “The Demon Dragon in Storm Valley also has to resist the Dark Invasion. It will also receive spoils of war and even have the right to the lucky draw!

“The most ridiculous thing is that the Demon Dragon in Storm Valley seems to be able to build and use defense towers!

“I’m even thinking that the Demon Dragon might have devoured countless Bravehearts and obtained their powers.”

Lin Ke’s revelation confused Su Chen immensely. What did he mean by the Demon Dragon also having to resist the Dark Invasion?

Was the Demon Dragon not a creature from The Dark World?

How could the creatures of the Dark World need to resist the Dark Invasion?

What was even more ridiculous was that the Demon Dragon was a dark creature. How could it be qualified to build a defense tower?

“Don’t tell me…”

An idea came to Su Chen.

“Could it be that there’s a Dragon Knight living in Storm Valley, and the Demon Dragon is the Dragon Knight’s mount?”
