Chapter 369: Oldman Small Town

Chapter 369: Oldman Small Town

Kanun was an expert that could compare to the peak experts of the Southern Summer Country like the Refined Ruler and the Burning Sun Ruler, but in this Forest of Chaos, he could only be considered a third rate expert.

The War Hounds Kingdom’s Fang King with a cultivation in the 3rd True Spirit Layer was not even a match for Vivian, so there was no suspense in this fight at all. Chu Tian could have just sent Vivian alone because with the «Void Escaping» special nature, as long as the attacks did not surpass a certain threshold, they would not have any effects on Vivian no matter how many attacks there were. Therefore, as long as the little fox found Kanun’s position, Vivian going in alone would have a chance of killing him.

This was not an especially hard or dangerous mission.

Of course, in order to prevent Kanun from using any special techniques to escape, the dwarves thought Chu Tian was risking himself to participate in this battle. In order to kill more people and cause more chaos, Chu Tian brought the others with him. After all, this little effort and risking one’s life to help made a large difference in the dwarves’ eyes.

Vivian’s spatial attacks consumed too much energy, so she was not destined to be someone that could fight group battles, she could only be responsible for killing important targets. In terms of killing large amounts of enemies, she could not compare to Chen Bingyu.

“The count is dead!”

“The count is dead!”

When Kanun was sliced into pieces, the entire spider people army fell into chaos. The spider people could easily pass information through their silks, but sometimes this could cause trouble. For example when fear explode, it could easily add fuel to the flames.

The spider people army had an average strength in the 9th Body Refinement Layer and the overall battle strength of the army was even above that of the Southern Summer Storm Cavalry. The tunnel was filled with the spider clan’s traps and the defenses left behind by the dwarves, so if they could calm down, they could fight with their current superiority and defend this mine.

But in a world with a large variance in personal strength, experts were not just the leader of armies, there were almost equivalent to a spiritual prop. When leaders were killed, the moral would be completely destroyed.

“Kill, disrupt their formations!”

Chu Tian did not need to give the order as Chen Bingyu and Dongfang Haoran charged forward like two meteors. Two peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer experts, both of whom had powerful attacks and defenses, unless they met True Spirit Realm experts or they used up all their spirit energy, it would be hard to beat them.

The Spirit Insects were not fearless like the Spirit Beasts. After these people killed four-five hundred people and their spirit energy had been consumed so their attacks were weakened, the spider people army’s generals began to control the situation as they began to fight back.

But before their resistance could even begin.

“Damn insects! We’ll show you the dwarves’ rage!”

The angry dwarves opened the front door and charged in to take back their home. The dwarves wildly attacked the spider army without any fear of death. The spider army’s attention was held by Chu Tian’s group, so when the dwarves charged in killing form their back, this caught the spider people army off guard.

Fear filled the air once again.

The spider army’s morale had completely collapsed and it couldn’t be gathered again.

If it was only several experts, they could win after they expended their spirit energy. Now that several thousand dwarves were attacking them, even if the spider army had the advantage, their morale was not the same. This mine tunnel was the dwarves’ homeland, their ancestral inheritance, and the basis of their making a living, so it was worth them putting their lives down for it. This was just a stolen region for the spider army, their leader was already dead, and this region did not have any meaning, so there was no need of them to sacrifice their lives for it.

In the end, when the battle ended.

Less than a third of the spider army escaped and the others were all killed by the dwarves in the mine.

Not even a tenth of the dwarves had injuries and had obtained this kind of glorious victory, this was all depending on the help of these five outsiders. The dwarves were straightforward, so of course they wouldn’t go back on their word.

The dwarf chief led several dwarven elders to sincerely thank Chu Tian. He then immediately said, “We have taken inventory of the warehouse and all the dwarven weapons and equipment have been taken by those damn fellows.”

The dwarf chief felt very hurt when he said this. That was the high level items of two-three generations of dwarves and now it had all be stolen, how could they not feel hurt, “Most of the materials are still here, so according to the agreement, half of it will be used as a commision. This is the reward you deserve!”

The dwarves’ words gave them a bit of information.

“Kanun moved away all the equipment forged by the dwarves?” Chu Tian emphasized asking this question. Of course he believed the dwarves because he believed the dwarves would not lie to others, “That could mean there is another power behind Kanun. What are the dwarves planning to do now that you’ve recaptured the Oldman Mines?”

It wasn’t just possible, it was certain!

“No matter who is behind him, the dwarves are not afraid!” The dwarf chief firmly announced like a sacred vow, “The tenacious dwarves will not give up our homeland even to the final drop of blood!”

Truly a muscle brain, there was no medicine for this fellow!

Chu Tian said in a tentative voice, “Actually, I have an idea. If the dwarves can accept it, perhaps you can guard your territory and the Oldman Mine will be several times more prosperous as before.

The dwarves were in a bit of disbelief.

“I’ve never lied to others and definitely would not deceive the friendly dwarves.” Chu Tian revealed a smile and his eyes were clearer than a spring in the moonlight, “I believe the dwarf’s mine is already revealed. Does the chief think the same?”

The chief gave silent agreement.

There were at least seven-eight powers that already knew the location of the mine.

Chu Tian continued by saying, “According to the dark forest principle, the Oldman Mine is now a torch in the dark forest, so it will attract many countless hunters and enemies in the dark. The dwarves are righteous, so they can only defend and can’t attack others, does the chief agree to this?”

The chief silently agreed once again.

“The dwarves are not willing to let go of their home even if they face extinction. This is actually a very hard thing to accomplish, after all, to defend your homes, just bravery and determination is not enough.” Chu Tian poured a bucket of cold water over the dwarves first before presenting his idea, “This situation cannot become any worse, so why not take the initiative to advertise the mine and use this chance to obtain alliances? Why don’t you unite some smaller powers and form an Oldman Small Town? You have to know, the Oldman Mine has already been looted once and its position is known by everyone, so it will help protect a little town. This is because the only person following the dark forest principle is not just you all.”

The Oldman Mine had already been exposed.

Any small and weak power in the dark forest had to hide themselves, there was no escape once they exposed themselves. They either had to escape or wait for death. If the dwarves tenaciously held on, they would be swallowed by others eventually.

Chu Tian’s words actually moved the dwarves.

The position of the Oldman Mine had been exposed. Since they were in this situation, why didn’t they just let everything be known. They would reveal everything and let all the large and small powers know about it?

Chu Tian continued to explain, “The Oldman Clan is a small power on the edge of the Forest of Chaos and does not have any attraction to the powerful forces in the depths of the Forest of Chose. This also means that the ones coveting the mines right now are just the surrounding small and middle sized powers. Once the dwarves reveal themselves to everyone around here, the small and middle sized powers will be worried instead. Because they know in their hearts that even if they capture this place, they would just be taking a hot potato. This place has also been looted by the Spirit Insects, so no one will try taking that risk.”

The human’s words were not groundless.

Chu Tian said this and let the dwarves think it over, not saying anything else.

“Come, come, come, time to work!” Chu Tian had Vivian and Yingying set up an array. When the dwarves saw the moves of the humans and elf, they were very curious and surprised. First they took out five-six strange containers filled with energy before drawing a very strange source energy array.

“Space Warehouse, open!”

They spent over two hours to finish the array. Their condition was different from the laboratory, Vivian had to personally use her spirit energy to activate the power cylinder and array.

The space began to distort.

Finally a black hole appeared!

Chu Tian immediately shouted, “Dongfang, big sister Bing, put in the materials!”

Because the Space Warehouse’s free space was limited and Chu Tian did not bring many energy columns, he could not transport all the items the dwarves gave him, but he would at least transport the important portion first. This was the materials needed to make the Storm Rifles and Source Energy Cannons.

When they saw the humans placing the materials into the Space Warehouse.

The dwarves were all stunned because they have never seen such a strange thing before. After the energy in the columns were about to be consumed, Chu Tian knew it was the limit.

“It’s about time, close it!”

“Alright!”

Vivian was sweating from maintaining the source energy array. When she heard Chu Tian’s orders, she immediately was relieved as she closed the source energy array.

Meng Yingying said in a satisfied voice, “If the company has these materials, they’ll be able to make quite a few cannons. Only, our communication network hasn’t been set up, so how will elder sister know that we transported those materials?”

“No need to worry!” Vivian laughed as she said, “I finished a detection technology before we left. This detection will be activated whenever the Space Warehouse is opened no matter where it is, so there will be a reaction in the laboratory. I think big sister Meng Qingwu should have noticed it by now and should be calling people to unload the items!”

“Then that’s great!” Meng Yingying was assured, “We’ll deliver the rest in a while!”

The dwarves couldn’t hold it in anymore as they surrounded them in curiosity, “What did you just…..”

“That was called a Space Warehouse!” Vivian proudly explained the functions of the Space Warehouse, “Are you jealous? This was something Chu Tian invented and you can’t find this anywhere else on the continent, it is unique!”

The dwarves all looked at each other in blank dismay.

They could all see shock in each other’s eyes.

If the dwarves also had this Space Warehouse, would they be looted by powerful enemies? What origins did these humans have, why were they able to take out such amazing technology?!

Chu Tian did not seem willing to discuss the matter of the Space Warehouse, “What does the chief think of my idea?”

“This method could work…..” The chief said with a sigh, “But for an exposed little town, where do we go to find an ally we can rely on? After all, everyone in the forest has ulterior motives!”

“This is true!” Chu Tian had been waiting for this sentence for a while, “Actually, our Miracle Commerce is interested in investing in the Oldman Little Town. The dwarves will still be in control of the Oldman Little Town, but Miracle Commerce would use this town as a transit point and a small trading base. Of course, as an ally, Miracle Commerce would shoulder the task of protecting the Oldman Little Town!”

What was Miracle Commerce?

The dwarf chief was filled with indecision.

“Why is uncle dwarf still hesitating?” Vivian couldn’t help saying, “Wondrous technology like the Space Warehouse, our Miracle Commerce has a bunch of them! If you work with our Miracle Commerce, the dwarves definitely won’t suffer a loss!”

The dwarves discussed this. Since they couldn’t keep the Oldman Mines, why not just take a bet?

These people were not only strong, they seemed to have an extraordinary background. Moreover, they helped recapture Oldman Mine which was a great favour to these dwarves, so most of the dwarves were willing to believe them!

“Alright! We agree!”

“Then from this day forth, Oldman Mine will now be changed to Oldman Small Town!”

Chu Tian chuckled to himself.

They really were too easy to coax.

He had travelled far to come here and the most important task could be considered finished.

Miracle Commerce had established their first foothold on the edge of the Forest of Chaos. This foothold had a significant meaning, it meant that Miracle Commerce could use it as a springboard and spread their influence through the entire Forest of Chaos.

They had finally taken the first step!
