He rested that way, drained from exhaustion and depleted qi.“But they’re acting very differently. As far as I know, forest goblins never enter orc territory!

From that underground room, there was a tunnel that led them to a place outside the city. The tunnel extended into a hill, where a hidden facility had been built inside.There, Zhao Yun saw several large transparent crystal spheres. Each sphere contained a human body covered in cuts and stitches.He also noticed various magical devices specifically designed to keep the humans and other races used for experiments alive inside the crystal spheres.Tiny green creatures worked in groups, operating the magical instruments."Goblins..." Zhao Yun whispered."Correct! These goblins are the army of our great master. They operate these magical tools," said Junhui."Do you know who made these magical devices?" Junhui asked Zhao Yun."Judging by the tools, items, and mechanisms, I’d say these were made by dwarves. As far as I know, only they can craft magica

Meyleen said, her face indifferent."Do you both understand what you're supposed to do in the alchemist group's building in Umhel city?" Zhao Yun asked, scanning the surroundings."We understand.

Zhao Yun and the others were now sitting in line with Chu Hua alone in front of them"So, what can I do for you, Young Master Yun?" Chu Hua asked straight to the pointZhao Yun didn't answer immediately, he just glanced at Chu Hua briefly then leaned his back on the chair"I want several items that will be auctioned tomorrow. Please name the price, Lady Hua, and I will pay for it," Zhao Yun answered flatly but with emphasis."Young Master Yun, you know very well that it's impossible to do that.

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw a nine tailed fox beast with a height of four meters above the ruins of Dun Heng's house.They looked at Yanyi, one of the three main ancestors of the black cloud group, now standing under the head of the nine tailed fox beast while touching the snow white fur of the beast.They were all stunned when they saw the two auras that merged, where Yanyi's demonic aura synergized with the aura of the beast that appeared out of nowhere."Heavens!
