From Mu Ya, no information was obtained regarding the nest of the Undead race.
The spirit-infused map also had no such information.
However, since Undead creatures had appeared, there was no way there wouldn't be a nest nearby.
Therefore, Xiao Mo was convinced that the nest was likely deep underground.
After all the troops had returned, Xiao Mo convened an Immortal-Demon Iron Guard.
He had once been an elder of the underground Dwarf tribe, and he understood the underground world quite well.
Through this Immortal-Demon Iron Guard, Xiao Mo finally confirmed that not far from the underground Dwarf tribe, there was indeed a mass grave that had been abandoned for countless years.
That mass grave was the old lair of the Skeleton Warrior, one of the Undead races.
And the strongest in this Skeleton Warrior nest was their leader, a Skeleton Warrior at the peak of the Spirit rank.
Upon learning all this, Xiao Mo fell into thought. At this moment, Mu Ya approached him again.
"Lord, the information about the strength of the Skeleton Warrior leader might not be peak Spirit rank."
"Because, only when the Undead race reaches the Monarch rank can they condense an undead mark with soul fire!"
Hearing Mu Ya's words, Xiao Mo was slightly taken aback, then nodded.
It had to be said that Mu Ya's reminder was very pertinent and timely.
Otherwise, if he had only sent a team to deal with a peak Spirit rank opponent, the losses could have been heavy.
With this in mind, Xiao Mo directly summoned Xian Qing'er, Mo Wuxin, several special Immortal-Demon troops, and those Immortal-Demon troops that had already advanced to the Spirit rank.
He also called for the Woodman Priest Mu Ling and Mu Ke.
Soon, the summoned Immortal-Demon troops and natural woodmen gathered before Xiao Mo, saluting him in unison.
"Today I encountered a team of Skeleton Warriors and annihilated them. They were likely scouting the territory. Through investigation, I have basically confirmed that their nest is in a mass grave in the underground world. Their leader should be a Skeleton Monarch who has only recently entered the Monarch rank."
"I need you to go to the underground world now, have the underground Dwarves lead you to the nest! Annihilate them completely! If you encounter any situations during the process, handle them yourselves!"
Xiao Mo said in a loud voice with a blank expression.
"Yes! Master (Lord)!"
The Immortal-Demon troops and the two natural woodmen responded respectfully in unison.
Then, Mo Wuqing slightly sensed the location of the underground Dwarf tribe and casually drew a circle on the spot.
Immediately, a spatial portal filled with mysterious power appeared, and the Immortal-Demon troops and natural woodmen rushed in.
The next moment, the spatial portal disappeared, and the Immortal-Demon troops and natural woodmen vanished without a trace.
When they reached the end of the portal, they found themselves in the dim underground world.
They were currently on a high platform, facing a tall statue.
Below the platform, thousands of underground Dwarves were kneeling and worshipping the statue.
Every morning and before nightfall, the underground Dwarves would worship the almighty Lord Saint, praying for his protection.
During these two periods each day, Xiao Mo's statue would emit a crystal-clear milky white halo, appearing incredibly sacred.
This was the unique radiance of faith, originating from thousands of devout believers in the underground Dwarf tribe.
Priest Mu Ling was truly startled by the scene before her.
"This... this underground Dwarf tribe has also surrendered to Lord and become his believers?"
Xian Qing'er, standing beside her, smiled faintly, her expression filled with pride.
"It is their honor to become the Master's believers and receive his protection! This shows they have found the right path!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ling nodded thoughtfully and exchanged a glance with Mu Ke. They both saw a hint of anticipation in each other's eyes.
They hoped to believe in Lord and become his believers as well, but they were unwilling to have faith forcefully instilled in them.
The natural woodmen needed to progress step by step, earning Lord's protection through their own abilities.
A short while later, Mo Wuxin, after communicating with the Dwarf Elder, returned with a few Dwarves.
Then, the Immortal-Demon tribe's contingent, led by a few Dwarves with fanatical expressions, set off in a mighty march towards the underground mass grave.
Within the Immortal-Demon tribe.
Xiao Mo did not rest, but instead took stock of the day's troop hunt spoils.
Including his own day out, the total harvest was one thousand four hundred and thirty Immortal-Demon Stones, twelve Soul Crystals, and two unknown blueprints.
After storing the Immortal-Demon Stones and Soul Crystals, he directly appraised the blueprints.
Unfortunately, they were just two very ordinary blueprints, with nothing particularly surprising.
One was a [Intermediate Residential Building Blueprint - Thatched Hut], which could be used one hundred times, meaning one hundred thatched huts could be built at once.
The other was a [Intermediate Defensive Building Blueprint - Defensive Wall], capable of building a defensive wall encircling the entire territory's influence.
Without hesitation, Xiao Mo used the [Residential Building Blueprint] on an empty space.
A moment later, one hundred brand new thatched huts, neatly arranged in rows, appeared before Xiao Mo.
As for the [Defensive Wall Building Blueprint], Xiao Mo directly listed it on the trading platform for four hundred Immortal-Demon Stones.
The Immortal-Demon tribe already had defensive walls, so this blueprint was no longer useful.
Rather than keeping it, it was more practical to sell it on the trading platform for some Immortal-Demon Stones.
His pricing was very fair, not at all exploitative.
After all, although the chance of obtaining blueprints increased with the scale and strength of the Lord's troops, and Lords had more blueprints in hand, not all Lords were lucky enough to get blueprints. Many Lords had yet to see what a blueprint looked like.
Therefore, up to this point, blueprints were still relatively valuable and easy to sell.
With Xiao Mo's current pricing, the [Defensive Wall Blueprint] would soon be bought by another Lord.
As for the food obtained, Xiao Mo kept a small portion and listed the rest on the trading platform.
When he only had Immortal-Demon teams, those troops didn't need food, but it was different now.
Now he had the Immortal-Demon Death Squad, the Immortal-Demon Iron Guard, the Chong Tian Que, and the Black Blood Dragon Python to feed.
Xiao Mo had listed over two hundred thousand units of food on the trading platform, but no Lords had made large-scale purchases yet.
However, Xiao Mo was not in a hurry.
Since the food wouldn't spoil on the platform, if it wasn't sold now, it didn't mean it wouldn't be sold later.
Just as he was about to close the trading platform, Xiao Mo suddenly remembered something.
He then directly exchanged the stored wood and stone for some fruits, flowers, and honey on the trading platform.
These were for the natural woodman troops' rations.
These natural woodmen were all vegetarians, and although they could obtain food themselves, it was always good to stockpile some for emergencies.
