Chapter 1204: Power of the storm (Part 1)
Sometimes, the Dead Lands could seem much calmer than they actually were.
On the surface, for many kilometers, hundreds and even thousands, nothing might happen. If it were mountainous terrain, only the wind would rush through the rocks. In other regions, blizzards raged, and in places like the Corrupted Volcano, where fire and ash reigned, rivers of lava flowed.
Such places could not be abandoned, for they were full of energy that saturated both the precious energy crystals and the simple dust that covered the ground.
Monsters were everywhere, but most of them could hide in caves, wander peacefully across the vast lands, or quietly absorb energy on a small piece of land that belonged to them.
There were many options, and one of them was to stay deep underground and act according to a plan, as the Kirani Bugs did.
None of them sought to become the strongest. They all followed the instructions of their leader and did their job.
The Kirani Bugs weren’t the only ones who did this, staying underground was an effective strategy for a large number of monsters, especially if they had all the necessary conditions for it.
But sometimes it didn’t work.
From time to time, powerful monsters would come to the surface to clash and find out which of them was the strongest, which of them deserved to live.
Most of the time, it was all about territory or resources, but… what happened at the Corrupted Volcano was, in a way, a unique case.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
