380 Snatching the Mine, Going to War

It was common knowledge in the magical world that it was difficult for magical beasts to submit to humans. However, young magical beasts, especially those before they hatched, were easier to tame than fully grown magical beasts. Some large factions could even tame the young of ferocious magical beasts. Even if they could not nurture spirit beasts with high intelligence, they could still use them as one of the combat powers of the faction.

The egg of the Demonic Devouring Insects which Dick had found currently might be able to be nurtured! The family clan had once nurtured a seven-color young peacock from its egg. This time, the egg might also be successfully nurtured. Moreover, this was the nest of the Demonic Devouring Insects, the best place to nurture the Demonic Devouring Insects. There was no need to build another environment, nor was there a need to move. He would just need to do a little set-up in the vicinity. With Norton, the grandmaster of magic formations at home, setting up a formation was a piece of cake. Coupled with the Old Ancestor at home…

After a quick thought, his mood, which had been ruined by the sudden attack from the Gale Wind Island’s elder, had turned for the better. Without the adult magical beast, the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects, he had in turn obtained an egg of the Demonic Devouring Insects. This was not bad.

… .

“An egg of the Demonic Devouring Insects, or it could perhaps be a mutated sacred beast. Very good…”

Romo had also seen the huge egg in the visitation screen. When he saw the egg of the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects, his thoughts were the same as Dick’s. This egg might become one of the Guardian Spirit Beasts of the Nicholas family clan. To an ordinary family clan, raising a spirit beast required countless resources and endless effort. Nonetheless, to Romo, it was easy. After all, he could exchange for all kinds of useful tools from the Ancestral Protection System.

As Dick had been the target of the Visitation Talisman, Romo had also seen the scene of Dick and the others being besieged by the swarm of Demonic Devouring Insects and then killing their way to the nest of the Demonic Devouring Insects and fighting with the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects.

In between, there were the unexpected and also dangers. However, as Dick and the others had aptly dealt with them, Romo only watched from the sidelines and did not intervene. The family clan was getting stronger, so the number of descendants encountering life-threatening situations would naturally decrease. Unless a huge figure appeared, or if there was extreme danger, he would just watch from the side.

Romo did not comment on the group of people from the Gale Wind Island who had jumped out from the core area of the Magic Stone Mine. So be it if they wanted to fight. At first, the leader had wanted to use the name of the Gale Wind Island to scare them. At that time, he had laughed. “The Gale Wind Island? Ten years ago, it could not scare the Nicholas family, let alone now.” The response of Dick and the others was also the attitude of the Old Ancestor. This Magic Stone Mine would definitely belong to his family clan! Such a huge Magic Stone Mine, everyone who saw it would be envious. The Gale Wind Island would probably not give up easily. There would definitely be follow-up actions. The Nicholas family had also to make preparations early. However, there was no need to be afraid. Come what may, they would resist and kill!!

At the Demonic Devouring Insects’ nest, Dick and the others had finished their inspection. The other group, led by Zoro, returned to the hovering flying ferry and joined Anthony and the others to discuss the situation. Then, Zoro brought Anthony back to the ancestral land, and the others stayed where they were to wait for orders.

In this area, there might be a battle later. Anthony had already accomplished his goal for this trip, so there was no need for him to remain in this dangerous place. Moreover, he still had to return to the clan to draft a plan for the magic mine and the Gale Wind Island.

With a Divine Mage leaving this place, the strength of Dick and the others, who were guarding the original spot, was naturally greatly reduced. However, the vanguard had already clashed with each other, and the next most dangerous occasion had not arrived yet. Even if Feng Da and the others suddenly counterattacked, Dick and the others, who had been on guard and had recovered, would not be as easy to deal with as before. “The enemy and our side are recovering. Until we’re confident, the two sides probably won’t make a move.” After all, currently, only two small teams were searching for the mine in the Calamity Mountain Range. The true ownership of this huge Magic Stone Mine would depend on the outcome of the battle later.

… .

The mine was an extremely important matter, so Feng Da had naturally also sent someone back to relay the news. In the depths of the Calamity Mountain Range, where they were currently at, the signal transmission of the communication magical treasure had been affected and could not be used. They had to get out first. Moreover, such an important matter like the Magic Stone Mine was impossible to explain in just a few words. They had to return to the Gale Wind Island to report.

The distance from the Magic Stone Mine to the Gale Wind Island was even further than to the Nicholas family clan. Therefore, the people from the Gale Wind Island, who had stayed behind, were even more anxious. Feng Da, who was leading the team, really wanted to kill Dick and the others to prevent them from reporting about the Magic Stone Mine. However… he was really not confident that he would be able to kill all of them. For now, he had no choice but to compete on the speed of news and reinforcements. Although they were not at an advantage in speed, Feng Da was very confident. “So what if the Nicholas family had occupied the mine first? When the main force of the Gale Wind Island arrives, this Magic Stone Mine will still belong to our Gale Wind Island.”

He knew that the Nicholas family clan had kept a low profile for the past ten years and had secretly nurtured four Divine Magi. However, between the family clan that had risen in ten over years and the Gale Wind Island, which had a legacy of tens of thousands of years, no matter how he speculated, the Gale Wind Island would win! Even if the Nicholas family clan had someone to back them and had the Divine Mountain Immortal Island, for a matter that concerned the Magic Stone Mine, how could a mere reputation force the Gale Wind Island to retreat?

Moreover, the one protecting the Nicholas family clan was not the Divine Mountain Immortal Island, but a Divine Mage from the island. It was said that Corsia had gone into seclusion ten years ago and was probably still in seclusion. She might not be able to come out to help.

… .

It would take some time for Zoro to return to his family clan. In fact, after he had left the signalless area of the Calamity Mountain Range, he would be able to contact his clansmen. To contact them through a magical treasure to send news and to personally report the news was actually not the fastest and most convenient method. However, Zoro and the others could not guarantee the fastest and ideal method, so they might as well use normal methods.

Soon, it was night time. In the Nicholas family palace, some people were asleep, and some continued to cultivate…

In the forbidden ground, Ron was in a hurry to make pills and could not rest. The Old Ancestor, Romo, had given Norton, who was focused on cultivation, a dream and told him about the Magic Stone Mine. He also had other instructions.

The next morning, in the family’s conference hall.

The previous head of the family, Norton, had gathered the core members of the family clan for a meeting to announce the mine and the instructions from the Old Ancestor. At first, everyone was happy. Anthony had really found the Magic Stone Mine, and a huge one at that! Upon hearing that the Gale Wind Island and the Nicholas family were fighting over the ownership of the Magic Stone Mine, everyone’s eyes narrowed and they became solemn.

This Gale Wind Island was certainly considered a big problem, but they were not afraid. Faced with the impending head-on confrontation, they were actually a little excited. They could show off their skills again. They had not had enough fun on the trip to the Beast Sect previously. Moreover, the Beast Sect trip was a great success, strengthening the dignity of their family clan! Everyone was very confident in the combat strength of their family clan. Coupled with the fact that this was the instruction of their Old Ancestor, there was no need to say anything. They would just fight!

After the meeting, everyone from the Nicholas family immediately jumped into action, preparing to rush to the Calamity Mountain Range. Even Ron had quickly finished refining a furnace of pills and stopped refining pills for the time being. With the experience from gathering their combat strength to attack the Beast Sect, the preparations were even faster this time. They were done in about a day!

Most of the important clansmen who were dealing with matters outside had rushed back. The first batch of reinforcements from the Nicholas family clan had gathered. Norton and Ron led them onto the Sacred Mist Ferry and set off!

The Sacred Mist Ferry rose into the air, escorted by the Five-Color Peacock. When the two representations flew out of the Holy Light City, everyone in the city was shocked.

What a familiar scene… What was the Nicholas family up to this time?!
