Sorcery Monarch Part 2

Chapter 311: Why is Bay Territory So Wealthy?

"Ahhh...!"

A piercing scream echoed through the dark underground tunnel.

The Sky-Splitting Lizards, caught in the barrage of heavy crossbow bolts, were instantly turned into pincushions.

Over ten Sky-Splitting Lizards were killed on the spot, and the remaining ones turned to flee.

Compared to their initial stubborn resistance, the Sky-Splitting Lizards had begun to adapt to the presence of adventurers.

These dangerous creatures, with their excellent reproductive abilities and ever-growing combat experience,

Were becoming more of a problem for the adventurers.

However, they had clearly never faced a large-scale assault by adventurers before.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have lost over half their numbers before retreating in panic.

This wasn't the first group of Sky-Splitting Lizards to meet this fate—every group along the way made the same mistake.

With everyone equipped with crossbows, simple rotational firing was enough to deal devastating damage to the Sky-Splitting Lizard swarms, numbering in the tens or even hundreds.

"Gather all the loot; it will be distributed and rewarded after the battle."

The adventurers unanimously agreed with Bay Territory's approach.

If this were any other person or territory, they might have worried about the loot being skimmed off.

But when it came to Bay Territory, these adventurers would even defend its reputation themselves.

"Bay Territory's trustworthiness is unmatched!"

"I advise you not to get clever—those security golems have taught plenty of people hard lessons!"

"You'd better follow orders, or you might lose contribution points!"

"Contribution points are valuable—you can trade them for a gold coin directly!"

"But on the flip side, you can't buy contribution points with gold, and they aren't transferable."

"And one more thing—if you've got grudges, don't settle them in Bay Territory; take it to the Bloodmoon City arena."

"Bay Territory doesn't hold back when it comes to killing!"

"..."

After hearing this advice, the new adventurers quickly went from dismissive to accepting, all in just two hours.

This happened because Bay Territory's elite forces demonstrated their overwhelming power.

Leading the charge was Beelzebub, who, rather than wearing his usual heavy armor, showcased extraordinary agility.

His twin axes whirled through the air, and any Sky-Splitting Lizard that leapt toward him was split in half with a single blow—without exception!

Beyond his savage combat prowess, Beelzebub emitted an intimidating red glow that sent chills down many adventurers' spines.

Just one glance at him gave them a palpable sense of mortal danger.

Many imagined themselves in the place of the swift-moving Sky-Splitting Lizards and realized they wouldn't have a chance to retaliate or dodge Beelzebub's seemingly chaotic but unstoppable attacks!

If Beelzebub were the only threat, people might only be cautious.

After all, his large frame made it easy to spot and predict his movements.
