You, a dragon, are farming in hell

The wasteland cleared for the evil dragon Destin will make it easier to steal his dragon dung later without any guilt.

Diding saw Sophia diligently clearing the land and was somewhat surprised.

He could tell at a glance that Sophia was probably the daughter of a nobleman when she was alive. In his mind, a noble lady should never lift a finger, let alone do any manual labor.

Unexpectedly, Sofia, this little devil, is quite capable when it comes to work. Although her movements are clumsy, she is seriously figuring things out. After working for a while, she naturally knows how to exert force.

It seems like we could nurture this little guy.

Diding looked past Sophia and into the distance, preparing to turn the entire Crimson Wasteland into his vegetable garden.

To do this, you first need to persuade those lord-level undead.

If they don't listen, then we'll have to make them move.

As a dragon, it's not unacceptable to be occasionally called an evil dragon.

It's time to put some pressure on the Lich King, Brian. He hasn't figured out a seed to grow after all this time; he definitely hasn't been putting in the effort.

Diding spread his dragon wings and flew toward the territory of the Lich King Brian. As he passed over Sophia's head, he lowered his altitude, grabbed Sophia with his dragon claws, and took her to find the Lich King Brian.

Since we've decided to raise this brat Sophia, we naturally have to show her the world and let her see the sights of hell.

Sophia, who was being carried away by Destin, stayed in the dragon's claw for a while before she realized that she was flying.

They were captured by the evil dragon Destin and taken to the heavens.

She only felt a sudden darkness above her head, and before she knew it, she was already in the sky.

Sophia glanced down at the ground and saw many skeletons stumbling and searching for hiding places on the dark red earth.

I also saw a corpse dressed in tattered clothes look up at the sky for a moment, then fall straight to the ground... playing dead?

Some transparent phantoms that were floating in the air quickly flew to the side, knelt down in the void, and dared not look up at the dragon Diding.

Is the dragon Destin really that terrifying?

Sophia realized that the actions of the skeletons on the ground, the zombies in tattered clothes, and the transparent phantoms in the void were all caused by the evil dragon, Destin.

They are afraid, they are terrified.

Did the evil dragon Destin merely pass by and yet terrify them so much?

Could it be that the evil dragon Destin is the king of this region?

Sophia looked up at Distin and saw only his metallic jawline and the bluish-purple lightning that flashed when his dragon wings flapped.

With a gentle flap of its dragon wings, Destin caused lightning and thunder to flash across the crimson sky, turning it a bluish-purple hue.

This scene is terrifying.

In other words, the dragon Didin had no intention of killing the skeletons and zombies on the ground. If he had, he could have simply flapped his wings a few times and those skeletons and zombies would have been wiped out.

Thinking about it this way, the evil dragon Destin doesn't seem so evil after all.

Even with such power, they didn't indiscriminately annihilate the undead in hell...

But where is the dragon Diding planning to take her?

She was also thinking of making a good impression and then asking the dragon Destin for a spatial ring.

Why don't you ask?

Just as Sophia was about to ask a question, she immediately noticed that the dragon Diding had lowered its altitude.

She instinctively looked down at the ground and saw a bone tower made of bones.

I also saw many skeletons, zombies, and some undead skeletons that looked like they were pieced together, lying on the ground.

A black-robed, skull-headed undead creature appeared atop the Bone Tower, its empty eye sockets glowing with eerie green soul fire.

He held a black and gold bone staff in his right hand, with a skull at the top. A red-eyed raven stood on the skull, flapping its wings and shouting, "The evil dragon is coming! The evil dragon is coming! Oh no, it's Lord Diding the evil dragon!"

Lich Brian looked up at the dragon Distin, who was descending in altitude. The change was too great. Back when Distin was still a fledgling dragon, he was so polite.

When they see him passing by in the sky, they will wave their dragon claws to greet him.

When I grew up, I would still wave my dragon claws when I saw him, but not to greet him, but to beat up this lord-level lich.

Looking at the sky filled with lightning and thunder, Lich Brian sighed. If he had known this thing would be so terrifying when it grew up, he shouldn't have bullied it so often when it was still a fledgling dragon.

Now things are really messed up. This thing starts bullying him all the time. Every time it descends on his territory, there's lightning and thunder, trying to scare this old lich.

The evil dragon Destin is too vengeful.

Diding folded his dragon wings and descended before the Bone Tower, meeting the gaze of the Lich Brian.

Lich Brian stared at Distin's vertical pupils, which flashed with blue-purple lightning, for a while, then raised his bone hand and cast a spell on his skull, turning it into a flesh-and-blood old man's face with white hair and beard.

This is illusion.

He transformed his face into that of an old man with white hair and beard, hoping that the evil dragon Destin wouldn't be so cruel when he bullied him.

"Lord of Thunder, I've watched you grow up, can you please stop... sigh... sigh... sigh..."

Before Lich Brian could finish speaking, Diding placed Sophia from the dragon's claw onto the bone tower, raised the dragon's claw, snapped his fingers, and a bolt of cyan-purple lightning appeared out of thin air and struck Lich Brian.

The soul fire within Lich Brian's skull was struck by lightning and ejected from the skull, floating in the air and emitting smoke.

Chapter 8 Planting Some Plants: Corpses Guard My Vegetable Garden

The Lich King Brann's soul fire opened its mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke.

The soul fire was split open, revealing a skull, and the bones beneath the black robe automatically disintegrated.

It's okay if the bones break apart, as long as the life box isn't crushed by the evil dragon Destin.

The evil dragon Destin should know that to truly kill him, his life box must be destroyed.

Knowing this, yet not doing so, suggests that the evil dragon Destin simply wanted to torment him.

If he resists, well...

The more he resisted, the more excited the dragon Diding became, and the more violently he beat him.

If he doesn't resist, the evil dragon Destin will simply deal with him and leave.

Some time ago, the evil dragon Destin asked him to research seeds that could be grown in Hell, and said that if he could research and grow the seeds, all the things he had done to persecute him in the past would be wiped clean.

He didn't believe it.

What is he?

Lich.

He had said similar things to some mages before he was a lich.

As a result, when he gets what he wants, he will continue to exploit those mages until he has squeezed out all their value.

Therefore, he didn't believe a word that the evil dragon Diding said.

If he were to actually develop a seed that could be planted in hell, the dragon Destin would exploit him even more ruthlessly.

The Lich King's soul fire drifted back to the skull, and the broken bones automatically regenerated.

The red-eyed raven atop Lich Brian's staff covered its eyes with its wings, too afraid to look at Distin.

Upon closer inspection of the evil dragon Diding, it feared that its soul fire would be destroyed by the thunderous power emanating from Diding's vertical pupils.

The evil dragon Destin is terrifying.

It dared not shout, lest the evil dragon Distin smash it flat with a single punch...

Sophia moved to a position closer to the dragon Distin.

This black-robed, talking skeleton... could it be the Lich Brian?

Liches are the most difficult undead to kill.

The lich can be resurrected after being killed, unless the lich's life box can be found to completely kill the lich.

"Have you figured out a seed that can be grown in Hell?" Didin asked the lich Brian.

"No, the seeds you gave me before weren't seeds, they were plant-type corpse monsters. I can modify plant-type corpse monsters, but I can't turn plant-type corpse monster seeds into edible food seeds."

Lich Brian thought that the dragon Diding was a bit crazy. It was one thing for a dragon not to think about how to become king of Hell, but to actually think about farming in Hell.

Can normal crops grow in an environment like hell?

There's no sun, no moon, and the rain isn't normal either.

Even if the land of the evil dragon Destin could actually grow crops, whether those crops would be edible after they matured is another matter entirely.

It's fine if they can't be eaten, but it would be hilarious if crops mutated and grew into plant-based zombies.

Instead of wasting time figuring out how to farm in hell, why not think about how to escape hell and farm in the human world?

"The plant-type corpse monsters I gave you will bear fruit. The Soul-Devouring Vine can produce fruit that looks like strawberries, the Ghost Face Tree can produce fruit that looks like bananas, and the Blood Crystal Tree can produce fruit that looks like apples."

I'll let you study the fruits of these plants... never mind, are you sure you can't transform these fruits into normal seeds?

"determine."

"If you can't even do this simple thing, do you deserve the title of a lich?"

“…”

Lich Brian wanted to say something to the evil dragon Distin, but the fruits of the Soul-Devouring Vine looked like strawberries.

The fruit of the Soul-Devouring Vine is a spirit, and the black spots on the spirit are poisonous thorns.

The Soul-Devouring Vine uses souls to attract skeletons, zombies, soul-devouring spirits, and other undead creatures that want to devour souls to strengthen themselves.

When these undead creatures approach the Soul-Devouring Vine, the vine will entangle them and devour their soul fire.

The ghost tree doesn't grow bananas, but ghost bones, which are used to lure and kill skeletons.

The fruit that the Blood Crystal Tree bears is not an apple, but a blood crystal.

Blood crystals are valuable and can be harvested, provided that you can avoid being attacked by blood diamond worms.

Where there are Blood Crystal Trees, there are bound to be Blood Drill Worms underground.

The evil dragon Tessine gave him the fruit of this plant to study. How did he study it?

There's no way he could transform a soul into a strawberry, even if you beat him to death.

"If you want to beat me up, just come and beat me up next time. There's no need to make things difficult for me like this."

Didin grinned, "Is he bullying Lich Brian?"

This was just a side job; what he valued was the Lich Brian's abilities—that guy had lived a long time and knew a thing or two about everything.

"Is it really impossible to transform the seeds of hellish plants into cultivable crop seeds?"

"Yes, if you ask me to modify those plant seeds so that the fruits they bear look better, I might be able to try. But to turn them into crop seeds, I can't do it, not even if you strike me with lightning."

Lich Brian glanced at Distin with his ghostly green soul fire, then said, "If you really want to farm, why don't you learn from the demons and see if you can escape from hell and farm in the human world?"

“Escape?” Distin looked up at the crimson sky. “Only the dead and demons who see hell as a prison are always thinking about escaping from hell.”

I consider hell my home, so why would I want to escape it? I haven't even finished exploring my own home yet, so what would I be doing in the human world?

If one day I go to the human world, it will be because I have explored this home and am tired of staying in it.

At that time, I might go and see the human world.

"?"

Family?

Do you treat hell like home?

Unable to escape hell, they resort to such words to beautify themselves?

Who would consider hell their home?

No undead being would consider Hell their home; every single undead being in Hell wants to escape.

"If you want to make hell your home, you first need to have a home in hell. Secondly, if you really want to make hell your home, then you need to transform this chaotic and disorderly Blood Wasteland into an orderly living area with ghost towns."

If you're interested, I can help you.

As the last sentence fell, the Lich Brian's eerie green soul flames overflowed from his eyes.

He couldn't do anything to the evil dragon Distin, but the other lord-level undead and demons in the Crimson Wasteland might be able to give the evil dragon Distin a hard time.
