Global Mining.

Chapter 967 Yulia retrieves the Ancestor, the village attack ends.
However, the roar of mining carts not far away caught Da Chun's attention.

Chamber of Commerce Channel [Black Dragon Envoy Popona]: Has the guild leader returned?

Black Dragon Princess?

"I am back!"

To his surprise, Da Chun went forward to take a look and saw that it was the Black Dragon Princess directing the Earth Flame Giants to load ore onto the mine carts.

The giants of earth and fire also shouted, "The great Wonima is back!"

Uh... Am I amazing? This is the first time an ordinary NPC in the tribe has ever treated me like this.

Hello everyone!

Da Chun immediately asked Princess Heilong, "Are you transporting ore?"

Popona sighed helplessly, "It's all for business. Everyone in the guild has either gone to Void Dragon City, Shadowstream City, or ascended to switch factions, so I'm the only one left to transport the ore. Also, the Horde's amethyst fish are selling very well, and the Mammon family keeps getting orders."

Da Chun sighed, "The tribe only trades with our guild, you must be really working hard."

Popona laughed and said, "It's not too hard. Only our guild can enter the tribe. The customers' transport teams are waiting outside the tribe's barrier. I just need to transport the goods out of the tribe, and they can take over the transport outside. In addition, the guild leader has made a name for himself in the surface world, and all the previous debts have been settled. So the guild will basically be profitable after this trip back."

Damn it! ?
Da Chun asked in surprise, "Is Azazel's reputation not enough to talk about? Must I have to talk about it first?"

Popona laughed, "It's different. For a large family like the Azazel, a poorly managed merchant guild can declare bankruptcy and abandon its operations at any time. So, in the past, even though our guild had a thousand-year history, it was considered to be on the verge of bankruptcy. No one was willing to cooperate on debts; they only wanted to sue the family for compensation. But it's different now that the guild leader has established a reputation. It shows the development prospects of our guild. Even Mr. Dios's debts could be repaid with materials and various cooperation agreements..."

Ah! So, in short, your alt accounts can start making a profit right after the server opens, right?
It's not easy... Speaking of which, my main and secondary accounts can now be interconnected through shadow banking. What benefits will this bring?

Overjoyed, Da Chun asked about the important matter: "I saw your mother, the Black Dragon Lord, in the surface world. She transformed into the image of a nun in black and even established a church."

Popona laughed and said, "She said she went to Ironflame Village to see my younger brother who is a guardian deity. But knowing her curious nature, she'll probably be playing around for a long time."

Play?
Da Chun asked for clarification: "Is she plotting against the Emperor?"

Popona laughed: "The entire Black Dragon City has flown into the void to fight the Emperor, so Mother should naturally do something too."

Just as I expected! Since we're all on the same side against the Emperor—

Da Chun asked, "I felt quite wronged during the trial at the Golden Throne last time. Now that I'm stronger, I want to go back to the Golden Throne to take revenge. Do you have any suggestions?"

Popona solemnly said, "With the Guild Master's current prestige, he can go directly to the Dragon God Temple in Black Dragon City and apply to launch a war against the Golden Throne."

Da Chun was shocked: "So, you mean I can get Black Dragon City to send warships to fight?"

Popona: "Yes, the fleet is estimated to be around three to five ships. If we can achieve some success, we can apply for more warships later."

At this point, Popona took out a pendant carved with a dragon head: "This is my token. With this token, the guild leader can mobilize up to five warships."

Mobilizing warships, huh? Isn't that what the Ten Elders did before? I've finally reached the point where I can enjoy my privileges—wait a minute!
Da Chun asked clearly, "Do I need privilege points to mobilize warships?"

Popona laughed and said, "No need, it's entirely based on the president's reputation. If the president needs more warships, he can also use his special privileges."

Could there be ten?
Da Chun thought for a moment and said, "Actually, my plan is for the fleet to provide cover for me while I secretly infiltrate the Golden Throne."

After all, he was now a massive energy entity, unlike the small Karami he once was. His self-righteous invisibility in the village was seen by the apprentice guardian deity, Pava. The difficulty of infiltrating the Golden Throne was even greater; sending a fleet for cover was the optimal solution.

Popona smiled and said, "Don't worry, the fleet will follow your tactical commands."

very good!

Da Chun couldn't wait: "Then Miss Popona, take your time. I'll set off—or rather, go see the chief first."

"Okay, leave this to me."

After all, it wouldn't be right to go home and not see the leader.

When Da Chun arrived at the Amethyst Mountain where the leader was located, the earth and fire giant guards outside the cave entrance were all shouting, "Welcome, great Wonima!"

Dibiron's voice came from the cave: "Welcome, welcome!"

Haha, this scene is full of emotional value. It seems I should go home and visit more often.

Da Chun greeted the leader, whose head was half covered in crystal flowers: "Greetings, Leader. Has your eye healed?"

Dibiron laughed and said, "It's not that fast. Your progress is as fast as the growth of the amethyst flower. I've decided to give you the tribe's highest-level reward."

With a wave of his hand, a black flame billowed out of the mud, and the space around the flame rippled and blurred.

—Asura Class Prompt: You have discovered an energy entity that can greatly enhance Chaos Power.

Da Chun was stunned: "Chaos?"

Dibilong solemnly said, "That's right, this is the Chaos Fire from the Earth's core. It takes a thousand years to collect such a small amount. It requires a ritual to fuse with your current Earth Flame Godhood. Once the fusion is complete, you can activate it to generate a Chaos Shield, which can resist and disintegrate attacks from various gods and demons."

Da Chun was shocked: "Does this mean that if I activate this Chaos Shield, I can also break down the divine power's detection of me?"

Dibilon asked in surprise, "Why would you care about reconnaissance?"

"My next plan is to infiltrate the Golden Throne, which is why I need to shield myself from the Emperor's divine power."

Dibiron sighed, "That's hard to explain. It's like an invisible person entering water. Even if others can't see him, they can see the ripples around him. The Chaos Fire is actually similar to these ripples. Even if the Emperor can't see you, he can see the disturbances around you."

Da Chun got excited: "What I want is for the Emperor not to be able to see me directly, and for my fleet to cause disturbances in the surrounding area."

Dibiron: "Very good. Now you can sit down and not move. Wait for the fusion to complete."

The next moment, the fluctuating black fireball enveloped Da Chun, forming a black energy shield around him.

—System notification: The fusion of Chaos Flames has begun, current fusion progress 1%...

The progress bar has appeared again, but it's already at 1%, so the progress isn't too slow.

Now that the alt account is free, let's switch to the main account to carry out the plan. The soul of the main account should also go back.

This time, however, Tifa was still asleep, and Da Chun couldn't bear to wake her. Instead, he greeted Siren and said, "Goddess, my soul has returned first. My body is now under the control of Little Fa... We must also be careful in dealing with the lord mission of the First Sage."

The siren laughed, "Don't worry, I've got you covered." Although she wasn't entirely at ease, she had no choice but to feel reassured.

Da Chun activated the core of the Raven's soul container, releasing the soul. The next moment, Da Chun began to fly through the void.

The flight lasted a full ten minutes, and Da Chun's vision began to blur.

System notification: Congratulations! Your soul has been separated from your body for a considerable period of time, gaining a great deal of experience. Your Spirit +10 and Mana +500.

—System notification: Your soul has been separated from your body for too long, the return distance is too long, and you have entered a state of soul fatigue, with insufficient integration with your body for the time being.

It's been a long time since I felt my spirit leave my body, and I feel so energetic!

Eileen was overjoyed: "Welcome back, my dear! You must be tired, so please get some rest."

Da Chun was also very touched; "Darling, I was worried about you too..."

If she hadn't been entrusted with drinking, she'd probably be playing the old married couple game with me by now.

Eileen smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me first."

They all put me at ease; it felt like an old leader was going to a sanatorium.

The large Beelzebub communication is still not working, so Da Chun needs to find something to do. Suddenly, he discovers that the arena icon has been restored after he was released from prison.

Yeah, it's been days since we've had a match, we don't want to get eliminated in the preliminaries.

Let's have a competition then.

Just as Da Chun entered the arena to continue enjoying the long-awaited cheers and group photos, his phone rang again. It was Zhou Qing: "Brother Chun, why did you suddenly start playing a match?"

Mr. Zhou, you seem like a stranger to me. Why do you have to call and ask about such a small matter?
Da Chun laughed and said, "Of course it's because I haven't played a match in a long time. Anyway, I just AFK during matches, so it doesn't affect anything."

Zhou Qing said, "As long as it doesn't affect Brother Chun. Just now, the magic tower in the village was acting strangely. Brother Chun, please take a look at the video—"

In the video, a faint red mist appears around the magic tower before disappearing. The entire process takes less than a second!
Da Chun didn't quite see clearly: "Is this the red mist that President Zhou is talking about?"

Zhou Qing: "Yes! I can slow it down frame by frame. It seems like the fog is being absorbed into the tower. At the same time, the siege intensity suddenly drops, and many monsters turn and run away. It feels like the siege is about to end!"

Da Chun asked in surprise, "Does the siege end once all the leaders are gone?"

Zhou Qing said, "Yes, I suspect that the red mist is the Blood Demon that has been missing all along! The Blood Demon may have infiltrated and hidden in the magic tower, so this can also be considered a retreat and escape, which means the attack on the village is about to end."

Holy crap, Bloodseeker's in the tower? As expected of President Zhou, I was wrong, you only call when it's something really important!
Da Chun asked in surprise, "Is it that easy to get into this tower?"

Zhou Qing provided a video: "Just now, three witches came out of the magic tower to guard the orchard. There should only be one witch left in the magic tower, and its defensive capabilities have decreased, so the possibility of the Blood Demon infiltrating is extremely high."

The video is from the orchard's perspective, and the witches stationed there are the dark elf Orica, Medusa Medardia, and the fallen angel Kasha. The one remaining to guard the magic tower is the vampire Julia.

The solution that Uriel just mentioned is to guard the orchard. He and the witch will go to the orchard to protect the fruits of my labor in reviving the orchard.

and so……

Is this Blood Demon the ancestor of the Julia family? Back then, my alt account bought the Heart of the Blood Demon from the Treasure Shop. To support my alt account's S-rank trial, Julia used the withered Heart of the Blood Demon to create a substitute for me, allowing me to escape Michael's artifact attack in Valhalla. The fact that she could create a substitute further demonstrates her extensive family knowledge and close connections.

Then there's only one possibility: Yulia took this opportunity to hide her family's ancestor! This is what the Dragon King meant when he said the Blood Demon had his own plans; so that's what it was all about!

Having taken back the ancestor, Yulia's strength must have leaped forward again, becoming terrifyingly powerful.
Da Chun offered his assessment and strategy: "Don't worry, President Zhou, it's a good thing! It's not infiltration. The white-haired witch guarding the tower inside has most likely recruited this Blood Demon. Her strength should have jumped to the strongest witch. If there are any suitable members in the royal team who are related to the Blood Clan, you can try to curry favor with her as much as possible! Maybe you can trigger some hidden race skill mission."

Zhou Qing was shocked: "Recruiting Blood Demons? So this witch herself is also a vampire?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Qing was overjoyed and said, "Then this witch will surely advance to the mentor level, right?"

Da Chun was also delighted: "Yes, this is confidential, we can't let others see it."

Anyway, Uriel went to guard the orchard, so he didn't see it, and the biggest surveillance threat was eliminated. I just wonder if those baka team members in the village were as quick-witted as him and saw it.

Zhou Qing was overjoyed: "Understood, this is top secret. As long as this Blood Demon Master stays, we'll keep currying favor with her forever—"

At this point, Zhou Qing changed the subject: "Brother Chun, during the time we were on the phone, a few more strangers ran away. It seems like it's over. It's a pity we couldn't learn as much as we did in the Southern Canyon Village last time."

Da Chun remembered something: "Now that it's over and Curry's canal laborers have been cleared out, the main thing is to replace Baka's contract, right?"

"Absolutely, the royal commander will go to see the village chief immediately..."

That's great. To be honest, seeing the huge benefits achieved in the China region makes Da Chun feel inexplicably fulfilled in his life.

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

It was already 2 AM during the game, and although the players weren't engaged in any intense battles, they had no choice but to stay up all night.

The butler came over to report: "Gentlemen, Da Chun has appeared at the arena and is taking photos with the players again."

Michael was stunned: "He's only just starting to play? He's only just logging in?"

Sariel said in a deep voice, "Sure enough, he must be the kind of person who often stays up all night to direct the team from behind the scenes. He only goes online at this time after staying up all night."

Uriel said in a deep voice, "I must say, the command was excellent. The members of the Broken Bottle Merchant Guild in the orchard and that Jiang Moyu girl group suffered almost no casualties and even gained a lot of experience and monster-killing materials. Fortunately, the experience-farming activity has come to an end, and the siege monsters have begun to retreat back into the mountains."

Sila was stunned: "Isn't there a Blood Demon? Why are these monsters retreating?"

Uriel said, "The situation is indeed one of retreat! Perhaps the Blood Demon has also retreated?"

Xila laughed and said, "That's possible. After all, I rescued the Blood Demon from prison on a whim, so he's not exactly a proper siege leader. Perhaps he was coerced by the Dragon King into launching the village attack."

at this time:

—Ironflame Village Regional Channel: Congratulations! Ironflame Village has successfully defended against the ancient monsters' attack on the village, and Ironflame Village's reputation has been greatly increased.
