Chapter 546
Chapter 546 Underground Enemy
The excavation was going smoothly.
The supplies and resources in the camp had been well-prepared due to the full support of the Goblin Royal Family. Over a hundred boxes of magic energy batteries had been moved to the site to power the machines. It was more than enough to keep the more than two hundred machines functioning for over a month.
Three dozen boring machines had drilled a massive hole in the ground with their rapidly-spinning drills. The machines then disappeared from sight. If they were fortunate enough, they could dig a hundred meters downward before needing to stop. It was likely that they would run into the wall of a building or a massive boulder from that depth onward.
Neither of these possibilities was good news for the frail boring machines.
If the machines did run into such obstacles, they would either be destroyed by the impact or stop functioning and require aid from above.
Of course, there were also those individual machines which were fortunate enough to find a winding path downward amidst all the rubble and debris.
The excavation crew quickly revealed the approximate situation of the underground space as they delved deeper and further down.
The being shook the sting scorpion in their hand and cast off the dirt on it before opening their mouth and swallowing the creature with no hesitation. It started chewing.
The sting scorpion’s shell that was supposed to be as tough as alloy seemed to be ineffective against the teeth of this towering figure. A crunching sound rang out, and the scorpion’s shell cracked as blood splashed everywhere. The sting scorpion had actually been eaten alive.
Bug Adept Billis let out a pained screech. He felt an immense pain from his head.
He had a feeling that the being hadn’t just eaten his sting scorpion. That thing had also devoured the sliver of Spirit that he had attached to the scorpion.
Dammit! It’s him!
Billis endured the intense pain as he activated the communication crystal.
…………
Greem was dealing with a matter at hand when he received the news from Billis.
There was finally progress on that massive project of his that he had been plotting for a long time. It had taken plenty of preparation, but it finally worked.
The fish had taken the bait!
Leicester Vik. The person that had left their essence blood in the outside world and had indirectly caused Mary to be corrupted into an offshoot vampire had finally shown himself once more, after a long period of seventy years in hiding.
He had started to involve himself in the local affairs of the Vik Family after leaving Bloodcastle in Qatarselon. He was enjoying himself in the banquets of the nobles and reveling in the more physical pleasures.
That sounded like good news on the surface. However, what accompanied this news was colossally lousy news.
Unfortunately, Leicester Vik had also successfully advanced to become a Second Grade vampire.
That undoubtedly raised his position in the Vik Family to a level that was equal to several of the family elders!
It wouldn’t be an easy job to capture him, even if Greem had advanced to a Second Grade fire adept a few years earlier than him. With a single misstep, even Greem could fall at his hands.
After all, everyone knew how troublesome and challenging vampire adepts could be!
However, getting Mary to conduct a blood exchange and becoming reborn as soon as possible was extremely crucial for her future development.
While Greem was silently coming up with a plan to capture a Second Grade vampire adept, Bug Adept Billis suddenly sent him explosive news.
The enemy had appeared!
