Heroes' Prison

Chapter 485 - 475: The Second Safest Place in the World

At this moment, Huang Yi’s choice would affect the fate of countless creatures in the Dragon Sea and the countless players on Hero’s Continent! The lives of innumerable beings were in his hands!

Huang Yi took a deep breath and decided to use the last and most reliable method at his disposal.

He took out the conch and immediately transmitted his voice to the Sea Dragon Emperor, "Sea Dragon Emperor, in which direction is the Central Continent?"

"To the northwest of the Dragon Sea!" The voice of the Sea Dragon Emperor quickly came through.

Huang Yi immediately turned his head, gazing into the northwest with determination!

His eyes seemed to penetrate the endless barriers of seawater, crossing vast spaces, envisioning that immense land!

That was the center of the world—Central Continent!

The Oskan Royal Academy was there!

The Central Continent was the epicenter of power and authority in The Second World, a pillar that firmly supported the world! Only there would it be truly safe, for without the direct intervention of The Seven Archdemons, no one could threaten Central Continent. As long as they could get the Ancient Giant there, it would be very difficult for the high-ranking members of the Demon Clan to retrieve it; they would only be able to watch helplessly.

With a sense of great righteousness, Huang Yi took out the shining golden whip and with a flick in the void, he issued the last command to the Ancient Giant—

"Ancient Giant, thank you for your body’s contribution to this world. You have prevented a catastrophe. Now, please rush toward the northwest at full speed, and don’t stop for anything! Keep moving forward! Keep moving forward! Cross the seas to reach the Central Continent!"

Huang Yi’s tone was like a farewell to an old friend. The Ancient Giant was his ultimate weapon, but now such a weapon had exceeded the realm of his control, and he had to let it leave.

"Splash!" Upon hearing Huang Yi’s command, the Ancient Giant’s body, hidden at the bottom of the sea, suddenly rose, towering high into the clouds like Optimus Prime, re-stabilizing between the ocean and the sky with a robust and resounding backbone.

With its rise, the already calming sea surface once again churned with huge waves, and the corpses of the Demon Clan shook violently. The watching Fallen Messenger was startled, swiftly dodging to avoid any mishaps.

The next moment, the Ancient Giant changed its direction and charged full force toward the northwest!

As it progressed, the ocean seemed as if it would never calm down again. The waters were dramatically parted to the sides wherever it passed, creating a series of tsunamis.

"Trying to escape? It won’t be that easy!" The Fallen Messenger immediately gave chase, biting down hard on the Ancient Giant and focusing on its direction of travel. But as the Ancient Giant began to run, it was so fast that the full-speed flight of the Fallen Messenger was barely enough to keep up without allowing it to get lost, let alone stop it.

Soon, the Ancient Giant had disappeared from that sea area, with the Fallen Messenger trailing far behind. One could imagine that the high-ranking members of the Demon Clan coming to assist would also follow the Ancient Giant closely, being led far away. By then, Dragon Sea and Hero’s Continent would be thoroughly safe.

"Splash!" Just then, at a certain unremarkable quiver in the water, Huang Yi finally emerged from beneath the waves. He looked toward the direction where the Ancient Giant had disappeared, as if all hope was placed on it, the road ahead now for it to walk alone.

Without Huang Yi’s commands, the Ancient Giant would tirelessly and lonely proceed forever. It would pass through many seas, causing numerous tsunamis, crush island after island, causing countless earthquakes, and continue to traverse the oceans, heading straight for the faraway Central Continent!

It was like a satellite that had lost control from the ground, destined to fly alone into the depths of the universe, never knowing how long it would take until it crashed into a planet, and was ultimately forced to stop.

And Central Continent was that planet. Once the Ancient Giant reached Central Continent, it would undoubtedly attract the high attention of the Oskan Royal Academy, who would surely send experts to subdue that Giant General and securely imprison it. But they wouldn’t be able to control the Ancient Giant, because the Giant General’s Whip was in Huang Yi’s hands. Without the whip, even if subdued, the Ancient Giant would be nothing more than an immobile corpse.

One day, Huang Yi would go to Central Continent and take back the Giant General, but for now, he would let it temporarily reside with someone else.

Huang Yi withdrew his gaze and looked around at the vast ocean. As the Ancient Giant and the remaining demons left, the area suddenly quieted down quite a bit, leaving only the severe shaking of the tsunami aftermath.

"Puh!" Huang Yi spat out a mouthful of black seawater. Countless demons had perished here, tinging the water the color of ink, and Huang Yi’s face was still smeared with remnants of demon flesh and blood.

This sea area was no longer suitable for living. The blood of the demons was to humans what the blood of the Ancient Giants was to the demons, corrosively potent. If Huang Yi weren’t protected by the Sea Dragon Emperor Armor, he estimated that it would take less than ten minutes before he would corrode into a pile of white bones.

At that moment, he was akin to wearing a protective suit while lying in a sea of sulfuric acid.

Yet this was also an incomparably vast treasury!

The invasion of the Demon Clan was a disaster, but it was also an opportunity!

The Experience Points granted by demons were much higher than those offered by ordinary monsters. This news had spread from the continents that had been previously invaded by the vanguards of The Seven Archdemons. Some players found that after killing minor demons, the Experience Points were ridiculously high. Despite the risk of leveling down, many continued to hunt them down.

Moreover, certain demons that surpassed the rank of Holy Domain contained something known as a Demon Core within them, the essence of the demon’s life. Upon reaching the same Level as the demon and consuming the Demon Core, one could Level Up instantly, which was almost the same as the Level-Up Potion Huang Yi possessed.

Additionally, materials from the Demon Clan were treasures in themselves. For example, the teeth of demons, when worn, could ward off a portion of Demonic Damage and enhance one’s survival chances. Meanwhile, the blood of demons could cause tremendous harm to players. When applied to weapons, it significantly increased the damage dealt to players. If the demon’s blood was directly splashed on a player, it was practically like dousing them with sulfuric acid.

In the nations invaded by the Giant Generals, many players acquired these demonic treasures and sold them at high prices in the auction house. Guilds like the Hero Guild and the Sun Guild, which had the capability of conducting Transoceanic Trade, had imported some demon materials from those continents, exorbitantly priced but also incredibly effective.

This evening, although Huang Yi hadn’t received any Experience from the death of the demons, the entire sea area in front of him was filled with endless demonic treasures – a mountain of gold laid before him!

He immediately shared his current coordinates with the logistical minister of the Hero Guild, Little Riddler, saying, "Dispatch all the Dragon Fang Battleships immediately to gather the spoils at my coordinates!"

After going public, the Hero Guild’s development had accelerated at an unprecedented pace, and the fleet of Dragon Fang Battleships had already surpassed three hundred. These battleships were primarily engaged in trade with continents around the world, but now Huang Yi called them all over. There was no trade more lucrative than the corpses of demons in the sea.

Upon their arrival, it would be like picking up money – a scoop would yield a mass of corpses! Although Huang Yi had temporarily lost the Ancient Giant, he had gained access to an almost boundless treasury.

Next, Huang Yi’s forehead wriggled, and he immediately opened The Third Eye, beginning to search amongst the countless demon corpses ahead of everyone else! He was certainly going to claim the best materials for himself.

His Third Eye was incredibly powerful, functioning like a scanner, and coupled with his Treasure-Sniffing Cat’s treasure-sniffing ability, the combination ensured that no treasure could escape his discerning eye.

"Hmm? A Demon Core!" Right at that moment, Huang Yi spotted a Holy Domain Rank demon corpse about a hundred meters ahead with a Demon Core inside it!

He rushed over immediately and extracted something from that Holy Domain demon – a bead the size of a thumb, black and semi-transparent, slightly soft to touch, but with a richly concentrated aura.

Huang Yi knew this to be a Demon Core. He had seen what they looked like on the forums before, and this one was exactly the same. He promptly checked the Attributes.

[Demon Core—Level 119] (Grade A, Special Item)

This is the Demon Core of a Level 119 demon. When used at Level 119, it can increase one’s Level by 1.

This Demon Core, compared to Huang Yi’s Level-Up Potion, had its own advantages and disadvantages. The Level-Up Potion could be used before reaching Holy Domain Level 100 without a specific level restriction, and one could use as many bottles as desired as long as they were below Level 100.

The Demon Core, however, was only usable beyond the Holy Domain Rank at a specific level and could only be used once per level. If Huang Yi found two Level 119 Demon Cores, one would be wasted since after using one, he would immediately rise to Level 120 and could no longer use another Level 119 Demon Core.

Huang Yi stored the Demon Core in his storage ring, planning to use it once he reached Level 119. It was like banking levels ahead of time, ensuring rapid advancement when the time came.

"Hmm, the teeth of this Holy Domain demon aren’t bad either; they can block a considerable amount of Demonic Damage." Huang Yi then pulled out a tooth from the Holy Domain demon. The demon was dead, and its teeth were loose and easy to extract.

The tooth was black, shaped like a canine and felt substantial in hand.

[Demon Clan’s Fang—Level 119] (Grade A, Material)

This is the fang of a Level 119 demon. When mounted on equipment or worn, it can provide 11.9 Demon Resistance. A person can only wear one at most. (To be continued.
