When the troop went out these past few days, it was not just for hunting. Finding the entrance of the wyverns and the underground world was an essential mission.

“We have already investigated the area where the wyverns appeared last time, but we haven’t found anything.

“What about Xina?”

“We didn’t find any trace of Lady Xina either.”

Richard frowned slightly.

After the wyverns attacked Twilight City, they disappeared without a trace.

Even Xina, who had gone to look for the wyverns, had disappeared.

It gave him a bad premonition.

But when it came to finding people, there was no better way than to increase the number of people.

An hour later, all the troops that had spread out returned.

Richard put the matter of the wyvern and Xina aside for the time being and focused on the Dark Temple.

He was very curious.

‘What kind of treasures are hidden in the Dark Temple?

‘There should be a few divine artifacts in the temple, right?’

After Richard gathered the troops, he felt like he had killed the boss of the novice village, which had once given him a headache.

The god’s ancient tree was now in his pocket, and only the Dark Temple was left.

This attack could not only bring the air force.

After Richard thought about it, he began to send orders to the troops.

Rare-level troops — Bandaged Mummy 51, Poison Scorpion Warrior 58, Giant Axe Death Knight 42, Sand Condensation Archer 100, Crazy Sand Mage 75,

Rare-level troops — Dark Gargoyle 120, Axe of the Dead 40,

Glorious-level troops — Heavy Sword Warrior 30.

Crown-level troops — Skeleton Blood Dragon 1, Skeleton Demon 5.

Bring all the above troops.

Guardian Mummy, Cursed Pharaoh, and 100 elite-level Axe of the Dead guarded the territory.

With the god’s ancient tree, the safety of the territory had been fundamentally reduced.

After the troops were in order, Richard looked at Karu, who came in a hurry.

“Karu, send some more people to look for Xina. Since she promised to return as soon as possible, no one had seen her for a few days. Maybe she’s in trouble.”

It was highly punishing to look for a person whose whereabouts were unknown in this vast desert. It could only be said to be a matter of luck.

“Yes, Lord.”

After Richard gave a few more instructions, he didn’t hesitate anymore. With a wave of his hand, he led the troop to the Dark Temple.

This time, he had gathered the most powerful elites of Twilight City.

He would flatten the map in one go.

After he left the territory, the troop moved very slowly on the sand.

But he was used to flying fast, so he couldn’t bear it.

He was about to take the Tibetan soldier card to collect some of the troops, and the dark gargoyles dragged away the rest.

Richard lowered his head to look at the heavy sword warrior five meters high on the ground. And his eyes suddenly lit up.

He thought of how he had dived into the bottom of the lake to control the sand platform to avoid the templar dragoon’s detection.

He immediately got the troop to stand close to him.

The yellow sand on his body surged with light.

In an instant, the sand on the ground condensed into a strange desert boat.

The front section was shaped like a boat, while the back was an open sand platform.

Richard’s maximum magic energy was raised to 4,000 points after the bathe in dragon’s blood.

While he stood on the sand, his magic energy recovered up to 60 points per second.

It was already a supremely extraordinary range.

Using the Beyond A-rank energy, Yellow Sand Control, to control the level of magic energy recovery, he began to manipulate the desert boat and move forward.

‘Rustle!’

The desert boat, which had pulled hundreds of troops, began to move on the sand.

Richard stood at the front, like a captain controlling the rudder. The yellow sand that glowed on his body was the only energy source.

At first, he was not fast.

After he became familiar with it, he began to control the uneven sand in front of him to become smooth, making it easier for the desert boat to move forward.

He even made the desert boat fly across some huge steep slopes that forcefully crossed them.

The scene looked massively cool.

His speed gradually increased. And in the end, he ultimately experienced the thrill of racing…

“Controlling the yellow sand is the ultimate essence of this glorious-level Lord of Yellow Sand… It’s simply amazing.”

Richard, who surfed in the desert, nearly got high.

With the artificial desert boat, the troop moved extremely fast.

The journey, which was supposed to take three to four hours, took half an hour.

When he saw the dense and broad shrubs in front of him, he waved his hand and caused the desert boat to collapse.

The troop immediately turned into battle mode.

Richard was sublimely satisfied with this mode of transportation.

Not only did he come with a wave of his hand, but he did not have to consider the big problem of parking.

As the troop increased, he could also expand the range of the desert boat and pull in more people.

The only thing that restricted him was the consumption of magic power.

After two months, the shrubs grew increasingly denser.

Richard waved his hand and let Gray lead two teams of dark gargoyles to scout for news.

A moment later, Gray returned to report.

The Dark Temple did not make any extra movements, but the temple guards outside had already reached two squadrons.

Richard was deep in thought.

“Twilight City has been developing for the past two months, and this temple hasn’t stopped growing either. Its strength has increased quite a bit.”

He decided to go check it out personally after some thought.

He waved his hand, summoned the skeleton blood dragon, and sat on its back.

They took off.

The six teams of dark gargoyles behind them followed and guarded.

Although the skeleton blood dragon with a wingspan of 20 meters was not as strapping as the templar dragoons, it was still immensely intoxicating a Crown 1-star and a level-10 rating.

The skeleton blood dragon and the broken dragon wings that covered its entire body were like rubies. This made it look tremendously cool.

Its appearance alone was enough to be used as a mount, not to mention other things.

The only pity was that there was no noble girl in the desert. No matter how handsome he was, no one could see him…

‘Hu! Hu!’

Richard did not hide his figure and directly drove the skeleton blood dragon to the center of the bushes.

The 20-meter-tall tree appeared in his line of sight.

Under the tree, the temple with nine giant stone pillars in front of it was particularly eye-catching.

Colorful patterns of ancient gods were carved on each of the stone pillars.

The aura it emitted made people’s hearts tremble as if they fastened some strapping demons inside.

Behind the stone pillars, the temple’s open door emitted a faint light that gave people a particularly mysterious feeling.

In front of the temple, more than two squadrons of temple guards surrounded the perimeter.

These temple guards were no different from the ones he had seen for the first time.

The black armor with the picture of a human-faced lion reflected a cold light in the mottled sunlight through the leaves.

In their hands, they carried a strange weapon with a curved blade at the front and a straight handle.

They wore pointy hats with two colorful ribbons on their heads, which made them look like the pharaoh’s guards in Egyptian mythology.

Guard of the dark Temple of Ankham, level 8, Rare 3-stars.

He had previously regarded them as powerful existences that he could not stop. But now, they could no longer stop him.

The temple guards on the ground also noticed Richard in the sky. They all raised their heads and glared at him with angry eyes.

The skeleton blood dragon roared when the troops sensed the enemy’s unkindness.

The dragon’s power swept down.

But this action seemed to have violated some taboos.

A wave-like aura surged out from the Dark Temple.

Like the collapse of an endless abyss, the terror hidden in darkness and evil opened its eyes from the fog.

At this moment, the sky and earth seemed to have darkened.

Only darkness and evil remained.

Richard sensed the unspeakable surging power and was shocked.

Could there honestly be something terrible hidden in the Dark Temple?
