Chapter 937 Any Survivors?

"How long do you think this is going to take?"

Kyuuu… Luna cocked her head to the side and looked at the egg curiously while she and Liam patiently waited for it to hatch. Everything in the entire hive hill was taken care of except for this single special golden patterned egg.

"I don't know, master." The little fox answered in confusion.

"It's fine. It's fine. It was a rhetorical question." Liam scratched his head and continued staring at the egg.

He really wanted to know just what level this one would be when it hatched, but they had already been waiting here for about half an hour, and it did not look like it was going to happen any time soon.

After a few more minutes, Liam gave up on the endeavor. "Ok. Let's not waste any more time here. Better to pack up and go to the next one soon." He walked forward, picked up the egg, and, to Luna's surprise, stored it in his spatial artifact.

The two of them then proceeded to walk out of the hive hill. Outside, the soul minions were still busily harvesting mana cores, other materials from isons, and also the orichalcum metal slabs from the hive hill.

On the other side, Alex was moving around the group and busily healing the guild members one after the other. Kang Minah and another woman whom Liam was not familiar with were assisting her and trying to learn the healing skill from her second hand.

Overall it looked like both groups would need another solid hour or two to finish up things here, even if they made the decision to come back for the Orichalcum metal later.

But it was fine because Liam had plans of his own that he wanted to work on in the meantime. The first thing that he wanted to do was survey this area.

Liam called forth a batch of his faster soul minions, including the wyverns and the higher-leveled ones like Crawford, Dimitri, the six-winged lion, the striped white tiger, and the elves and barbarians.

He then sent them scattering in different directions to check out the general condition of this district. They were currently in one of the southern China districts, and Liam was pretty sure that the population in the area had already been mostly wiped out.

This unfortunate sector of the country had not only been targeted by the first wave of the apocalypse and the vampires but they were also assaulted by these isons.

Unlike their guild base, Liam hadn't arrived here immediately to take care of these creatures, and from what he had seen so far, very few people, if at all, should have the strength to defend against something like this swarm.

They were strong, fast, agile, poisonous, and possessed sharp metallic limbs and wings that were capable of laying waste to most of mankind.

Liam doubted if anyone disorganized and inexperienced would even be able to survive these creatures for a couple of minutes.

Especially with the way they tended to strike together as a group, by now, they should have laid waste to the whole district and killed every living being in sight.

And who knew just how many of these hive hills had popped up all over the world?

At least in his last life, humanity had lasted for another few months, but this time it looked like the entire world was going to be massacred with this single wave.

This was the difference between the hard mode of the apocalypse and the nightmare mode of the apocalypse.

Liam sighed and did not want to dwell too much on things that were beyond his control.

What he wanted to do now was search if, by some random miracle, some survivors escaped this mass extinction event and perhaps offer the guild's assistance to them.

Of course, like everyone else, they would also have to pay the dues if they wanted to be part of the guild.

While he was not heartless enough to leave these people stranded here, he also wasn't a bleeding heart to just do all of this to help whatever was left of humanity.

The second reason why he was sending out the soul minions was to check if there were more evolved beasts in the region and also if the isons branched out and perhaps started building a secondary hive somewhere else.

To be best prepared against these bizarre insects, he first had to study their behavior and attack patterns in more detail.

Taking these things into consideration, Liam sent out the soul minions with clear instructions. Now that his army was busy at work, he started the other thing that he was planning to do in these couple of hours.

He walked over to the guild group. "There are two beginner dungeons in this area. Is anyone rested enough to want to try them out?" Liam smiled and announced, not caring to explain what happened to the third dungeon._.com

Immediately the several ears listening to him perked up, and everyone looked at Liam with sparks in their eyes. They were still somewhat tired, but currently, the whole guild was in high spirits.

Their levels had shot up, their adrenaline was still running rampantly, and the fact that they might have to face these insects once again and perhaps even more of the higher-leveled insects both terrified and excited them at the same time.

At this time, running the beginner dungeons would be a piece of cake and not to mention an easy way to bump up their level a little bit more.

That too, they might even be able to clear the entire dungeon from top to bottom in a single go and unlock the advanced version just like Liam had done!

Several people immediately stood up, and their hands shot into the air.

"Boss, I am ready to go!"

"Guild leader, I can do it!"

Almost all of the guild was ready to fight except for the few who were somewhat heavily injured and needed more rest.
