Lord Of The People: I Recruited A Mutant Succubus From The Start Novel - Chapter 158

Hearing Xuan Ming’s words, the surrounding people frowned slightly.

If the Goblin Kingdom was below the ground, their combat power would be greatly reduced.

Putting everything else aside, they couldn’t possibly let Hermione’s Silver Dragon drill into the ground to fight, right?

Zhao Yuheng also didn’t want her Undying Blood Phoenix to become a drill chicken again.

Moreover, there was lava below the area that she had taken out previously. The Undying Blood Phoenix’s movements were still alright, but this was real land. How could she burrow into it?

“If we can’t enter the underground to fight with the Goblin Kingdom, then we’ll think of a way to lure these goblins up,” Ren Qi said.

Xuan Ming shook his head. “These goblins are very careful, or rather, they’re rather timid. If they receive a scare, they’ll burrow into the underground and not come out. It’ll be very difficult to lure them out.”

Zhao Yuheng also nodded and said, “Previously, we also roughly put on a show about how to fight these goblins, but we don’t have any good ideas.”

“If it is a head-on battle, we are not afraid at all, even though the Goblin Kingdom has a very large number of people.”

“But the problem now is that if we attack with great fanfare, we will directly scare these goblins. They will burrow into the underground Goblin Kingdom and not come out.”

Tina, who was behind Ren Qi, whispered, “Master, do you want to use our previous method?”

Ren Qi knew that Tina was talking about the method to charm Boots and Tarusa.

Frowning and thinking, Ren Qi shook his head and said, “Previously, it was Tarusa’s attack, and we happened to capture it. Then, the charm succeeded. Now, where can we find a goblin elder to charm them?”

“Moreover, it’s too slow to charm them one by one.”

Belhermione said, “I think we should first observe the jungle above the Goblin Kingdom, look at the terrain, and then discuss how to carry out the attack.”

Li Tianlan also said, “I agree. Although we have the information of Xuan Ming, we still have to see the surrounding terrain with our own eyes.”

Zhao Yuheng nodded. “Alright, that’s it for today. Night is coming. We will each scout the surrounding terrain of the Goblin Kingdom. We will discuss countermeasures tomorrow and then attack.”

After a short discussion, the few of them quickly left Xuan Ming’s territory and went to scout the Goblin Kingdom’s terrain.

Ren Qi also brought along Elise, Tina, and the other succubi. They sat on the eight dark dragons and headed towards the forest in front.

The forest that had just appeared in front of the Xuan Ming’s territory was very dense. It was somewhat similar to the black fog forest, but it was not as gloomy as the black fog forest.

When they arrived above the forest, Ren Qi’s dark dragons led them to patrol the sky above the forest.

After flying for a long while, Ren Qi discovered that there was a huge river inside the forest that ran through the entire forest. It was as if the river had separated the entire forest from the middle.

There were many goblins below. It could be said that they could meet goblins who were hunting in every part of the forest.

When these goblins saw the huge dark dragon flying above them, they would fearfully enter the hole that could allow them to enter the underground world.

They would only come out when the huge dark dragon was far away.

The situation was the same for Bell Hermione. When the huge Silver Dragon streaked across the sky, it would cause panic among the goblins in the forest below.

Li Tianlan brought the five elemental thunder qilin soldiers and began searching the ground below.

She could clearly discover that there were many monsters in this forest, but most of them were not high-level. The goblins were almost high-level hunters in this forest.

However, they were very timid. When they saw that the situation was not good, they would immediately dig into the ground.

…

As night fell, Ren Qi and the others returned to the territory of the dark nether world.

The soldiers began to rest, but Ren Qi and the others were still in the meeting hall.

Hermione was the first to speak. “From the current investigation, these goblins are indeed very timid. The moment there is any movement, they will go underground.”

“It seems that the only way to effectively attack the goblins is to go deep into the ground. However, we are not familiar with the underground situation. Moreover, there is a limit to how much we can fight underground.”

Li Tianlan said, “If it really doesn’t work, my five elemental thunder qilin will go underground and harass the Goblin Kingdom, forcing them out.”

Ren Qi shook his head and said, “No, it’s too dangerous for the five elemental thunder qilin to go underground. Moreover, it might not be able to drive these goblins out. We have to think of another way.”

Xuan Ming said, “I have quite a number of bombs and grenades on my side. They can be transported underground to detonate and force these goblins to come up.”

“However, my troops have investigated before. The situation below the ground of this forest is very complicated. If we want to blow up the ground below, I’m afraid it’s unlikely.”

“Moreover, there are many entrances to the underground kingdom of the goblins. Even if we can blow them up, they still have a way to avoid it.”

Tian Jizi said, “Then what should we do? Just Wait and see? F * ck, if we really can’t do it, we can directly tear up the ground of the jungle. Let’s see where they can hide!”

Zhao Yuheng glanced at him and said, “Then go? It’s best if you tear up the entire jungle.”

Tian jizi smiled and said, “I’m just saying it in anger. Don’t mind me.”

Ren Qi thought for a moment and said, “When I was exploring the terrain, I found that there is a large river in the middle of the jungle. It’s very wide. Can we draw the river water into the Goblin Kingdom and force them out?”

Xuan Ming’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good idea.”

Zhao yuheng nodded and said, “We can try it tomorrow.”

The others nodded as well. This was the only feasible method at the moment.

Ren Qi looked at Xuan Ming and said, “You should be able to build something similar to a canal, right? Transport the water from the river to the entrance of the underground Goblin Kingdom.”

Xuan Ming nodded. “Sure, I’ll do it right away.”

Zhao Yuheng said, “Alright, everyone go and rest first. We’ll try this method tomorrow.”

The few of them left the meeting hall and prepared to rest.

Ren Qi also returned to the succubus’ base.

The succubus were now stationed in the Xuan Ming territory, in a more remote place.

Ren Qi was arranged to be in a room not far away from the succubus territory.

Ren Qi had just laid down on the bed and was about to rest when Tina pushed the door open and walked in.

“Master, we haven’t done the reverse feeding today.” Tina looked at Ren Qi and smiled.

Ren Qi’s throat rolled for a moment before he said, “ERM, since we’re here today, we won’t do the reverse feeding, right?”

What if he made some noise and was discovered by others? Where would he put his face?

He didn’t want to be regarded as some pervert who had defiled his own military.

Tina walked over to Ren Qi by the bed and said, “Master, they you can’t stop taking the medicine, so you can’t skip the feedback. It’s only ten minutes. I won’t be like Sister Risa and torture you for the whole night.”

As she said this, Tina directly climbed onto the bed.

Ten minutes later, Tina walked out with a satisfied look on her face, leaving Ren Qi lying on the bed, panting slightly.

Walking out of the room, Tina just happened to bump into Risa. A smile appeared on her face as she said, “Sister Risa, master is in the room. Do you want to go in?”

Risa’s face was slightly red as she said, “I don’t think so. After all, we’re outside now. Moreover, master still has something to do tomorrow.”

Tina nodded and said, “That’s true. If Sister Risa goes in, it will probably be an entire night.”

Risa’s face turned red as she turned around and left shyly.

Looking at Risa’s back, Tina shook her head.

“I wonder what kind of personality Sister Risa has as a succubus.”

“However, I don’t think Sister Risa would look like this on the bed. After all, she has the body of a succubus. When she gets emotional, she won’t be able to control herself.”

Tina bit her lip and looked at Ren Qi’s room behind her. A hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.

If she had known earlier, she would have only told her master one way!

…

The next morning, Ren Qi directly got up and walked out of the room.

After a simple exercise, Ren Qi took the breakfast that Risa had prepared and started eating.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t carry out the recruitment today.

However, it was a good thing that the number of recruitment could be accumulated, as long as it didn’t exceed three times.

If they could finish off the Goblin Kingdom within three days, they would be able to return quickly and not waste the opportunity to recruit.

Zhao Yuheng and the rest also walked out and greeted each other.

After eating breakfast and feeding their respective troops, the group immediately set off towards the forest in front of the Xuan Ming territory.

Xuan Ming had also made preparations. After a night of forging, the troops of the territory had created a thousand-meter-long round iron pipe and a pump.

The few of them combined their troops and formed an army, marching majestically into the forest.

In the forest, the goblins had also discovered Ren Qi and the other troops and hid in the underground caves.

Ren Qi and the others ignored them and quickly headed towards the river in the middle of the forest.

When they arrived at the edge of the river, Ren Qi directly inserted one end of the iron pipe into the river.

Following that, after the adjustment of the Xuan Ming Army, the other end of the iron pipe was inserted into the entrance of a goblin’s underground cave.

“Let’s begin.” Zhao Yuheng looked at Xuan Ming and nodded lightly.

Xuan Ming nodded as well and immediately activated the large water pump.

Large amount of river water began to be drawn out and poured into the iron pipe. It began to surge out rapidly and irrigate the entrance of the goblin underground kingdom.

Ren Qi and the others also led their army and scattered in all directions, preparing to attack the goblins that would be forced out later.

A large amount of water flowed into the underground entrance of the Goblin Kingdom, pouring in quickly.

At this time, in the Goblin Kingdom, the goblins were reporting to the goblin king about the situation outside.

“Your Majesty, there are many high-level life forms outside, and there are even dragons. The risk of going out to hunt is getting higher and higher.”

“That’s right. Those lords are very powerful. Even the weaker ones are at least level 8.”

“Your Majesty, what should we do now?”

The king of the goblins was a fat man. He sat on the throne and listened to the goblins around him, his eyes rolling.

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen. Our Goblin Kingdom has survived until now because we are cautious.”

“The Goblin Kingdom is underground. Those giant dragons won’t be able to break in.”

“When they know that we are hard to deal with, they will leave automatically. Just tell the clansmen to be careful.”

“Oh right, how is the monster hunting going? I feel that I have reached the threshold of upgrading. I need the soul of the monster to activate the power of the Holy Stone.”

A goblin elder said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. I have ordered my clansmen to work overtime to hunt. The monsters will be sent to me continuously.”

“Unfortunately, the level of the monsters above is not too high, so the soul power provided is not too strong.”

“If, I mean if, you can kill the soldiers above, your Majesty will be able to enter the saint-level soon.”

Hearing the goblin elder’s words, the Goblin King’s face revealed a hint of yearning.

However, he quickly regained his senses and looked at the goblin elder. “Don’t say such things in the future. That’s a giant dragon. It’s not something we can withstand, let alone hunt!”

Although the Goblin King was at the ninth level, and was about to reach the threshold of advancement just like the Dark Elf Queen, he still felt fear towards the giant dragon.

His timidity was engraved in his bones.

The Goblin King had only relied on the power of the holy stone to advance to rank 9. Although his strength had increased, his fear of high-level creatures had not decreased by much.

Just as the Goblin King was imagining the scene of him advancing to the next level, he suddenly heard the panicked voice of a goblin.

“Not good! Not good! The river is pouring in! The river is pouring in!”

Along with this panicked voice, a large amount of river water surged out from the passage that the goblins had entered the underground kingdom, quickly flooding the entire goblin kingdom.

The surrounding goblins became flustered.

Seeing this, the Goblin King said calmly, “Don’t panic, it’s nothing serious. Quickly open the passage and dredge the water flow.”

“I understand!”

The goblin elder beside him nodded, then hurriedly instructed the goblins to open the channels in the Goblin Kingdom.

These channels were built to dredge the rainwater. They could connect to the depths of the earth and drain the water flow.

Large amounts of river water flowed along the streets of the Goblin Kingdom, then quickly flowed into the channels and disappeared.

Above, Ren Qi and the others had been waiting for the goblins to come out, but they had not been able to do so.

“How much water has been poured into it?” Zhao Yuheng asked with a frown.

Xuan Ming replied, “It has already been poured into it for an hour. According to the speed of the flow of the water in this iron pipe, it should have already flooded the Goblin Kingdom.”

“Why haven’t they come out yet? Could it be that there’s another passage?”

Zhao Yuheng shook his head and said, “That’s not possible. You’ve already checked all the entrances to the underground Goblin Kingdom in the forest. All of us have troops watching over them. If any goblins come out, they will definitely be discovered by us.”

“Based on the current situation, these goblins might have some means to get the water that has flooded into their homes out.”

“Xuan Ming, use the scouting machines to investigate.”

Xuan ming nodded and then began to command some scouting machines to go deep into the underground Goblin Kingdom.

Because of the river water flowing backwards, the Goblin Kingdom was in a state of panic. Therefore, Xuan Ming’s scouting machines were not discovered.

If it was before, some of these scouting machines would have been destroyed.

Soon, Xuan Ming learned about the situation in the Goblin Kingdom through these scouts.

“There is a passage in the Goblin Kingdom. All the water we pourede in has been cleared.”

Ren Qi and the others frowned when they heard Xuan Ming’s words.

“What should we do now?” Hermione asked.

Tian Jizi said, “Who cares? Let’s keep pouring water in. I don’t believe that they can pour all the water from the river.”

Ren Qi shook his head and said, “It’s impossible to pour all the water from the river. Moreover, since the other party already has a way to deal with it, it’s meaningless. We have to think of another way.”

Tian Jizi said, “It’s really troublesome. They still need to use their brains. If it were up to me, I would just go in and attack.”

Ren Qi did not say anything. He looked at the river in front of him and thought for a while. Then, he looked at Xuan Ming and asked, “Is this iron pipe of yours resistant to high temperatures?”

Xuan Ming nodded. “It’s all made of fine iron. It’s extremely resistant to high temperatures.”

Ren Qi nodded when he heard that. Then, he smiled and said, “Since water isn’t enough, let’s use fire!”

“Fire? Don’t tell me you want the Undying Blood Phoenix to spit fire into the iron pipe and send it down?” Xuan Ming frowned and said.

Ren Qi shook his head. “We’re not using fire directly. We’re using fire to launch an attack.”

“Lord Zhao, get your Undying Blood Phoenix to come over. Spit fire to increase the amount of water and form a high-temperature gas. Then, this iron pipe will transport it down. Since they want to hold it down, we’ll give them a proper steam bath.”

Xuan Ming’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He slapped Tian Jizi’s thigh and said, “That’s a good idea!”

Tian Jizi gritted his teeth and said, “I also know that this is a good idea. But can you slap your own thigh?”

Xuan Ming smiled embarrassedly. Then, he directly revealed the side of the iron pipe.

Then, after extracting a portion of the river water, the Undying Blood Phoenix spat out flames and directly evaporated the river water in the iron pipe.

The temperature of the Undying Blood Phoenix’s flames was extremely high, and it could quickly turn the river water into high-temperature gas. A large amount of high-temperature gas could ensure that the high-temperature gas would not cool down in a short period of time. Then, it was directly transported down the iron pipe.

“Elise! Come over and help!” Ren Qi said to Elise at this moment.

Elise heard this and quickly rushed over. He understood and released the hellfire into the iron pipe.

Hellfire was very difficult to extinguish. If it was transported down, it could keep the temperature of the gas constant.

As the river water continued to evaporate, a large amount of high-temperature gas entered the iron pipe and quickly entered the underground Goblin Kingdom along the iron pipe.

Because of the high-temperature gas, the entire iron pipe began to turn red and hot.

This was caused by the high temperature.

At this moment, in the Goblin Kingdom, the Goblin King was on his throne thinking about how the river would flow.

This was obviously not rain water, but something to do with the lords and soldiers.

The goblins who had just received the news came back to report that their team that had just revealed themselves were killed by the soldiers guarding outside. Only a few goblins came back.

Now, it seemed that they had to hide inside.

Those lords and soldiers’ target was the Goblin King, so he decided to play with them.

The Goblin King had played the game of cat and mouse many times.

He, the mouse, was not so easy to catch.

The river water that poured in had been effectively controlled, and the panic of the surrounding goblins had also calmed down.

The Goblin King also wanted to return to the palace and use the holy stone to continue increasing his power. He wanted to see if he could quickly increase his life level.

If he could reach the saint level, then he would no longer have to be afraid of those people outside.

At this moment, a thick white hot gas surged into the Goblin Kingdom and quickly spread in all directions.

Because the Goblin Kingdom was extremely vast, the hot gas in the narrow passageway was suddenly diluted by the large space around it and merged into the air around the passageway. There was not much heat.

However, this hot gas was continuously transported in.

Soon, a large amount of hot gas completely covered the surroundings and surged into every corner of the Goblin Kingdom.

A large amount of high-temperature gas continuously poured in, causing the temperature in the Goblin Kingdom to continuously soar.

From the initial bit of heat to the end, all the goblins felt that the heat was unbearable.

And after half an hour, the air in the Goblin Kingdom became very stuffy and hot, like a huge sauna.

All the goblins inside felt that it was difficult for them to breathe, and their skin began to turn red.

The Goblin King’s eyes turned red. He had never encountered such a situation before.

The opening of the passage could not block the surrounding high temperature gas.

“Your Majesty, what should we do now? If we don’t let our clansmen out, I’m afraid we’ll suffocate to death here.”

The goblin elder looked at the Goblin King and said anxiously.

The Goblin King’s expression also became very ugly. He thought for a moment and said, “Survival first is more important. Let our tribesmen go out first and try to escape in all directions. You take the Goblin elders and charge out with me.”

The Goblin King had already thought it through. He would let his tribesmen face the first wave of attacks while he and the Goblin Elders ran behind.

After bringing the holy stone, the Goblin King quickly left with the goblin elders.

Soon, goblins appeared on the ground one after another. They were all forced out.

As soon as these goblins appeared, they were killed by the soldiers who had been waiting for them.

At this moment, the Goblin King and the goblin elders came to a relatively hidden passage and came to the top.

They wanted to escape through the secret passage!
