Divine Realm: Starting with the Broken Bone Dragon

"These villages are all empty."

"Moreover, there are no signs of a battle or any trace of other races around. It's as if they knew we were coming and withdrew in advance."

Lin Fan's solemn voice rang out. Beside him were Law 1, Law 2, and Number 1, who was possessed by Jiang Mengyao, and Stone 1, which he used as his mount.

"They're clearly afraid of our Skeleton Legion. If you ask me, we should just sweep through them! No matter how many hellish beasts they have, I, Stone One, will take them all down with one punch!"

Shi 1 stood up and began to speak with bold words. He crossed his arms and looked up at the sky.

Law 1 looked up, glanced at Lin Fan on Stone 1's head, raised his staff, and a mud spell instantly formed under Stone 1's feet.

Above Shi 1's head, a second-tier spell—Increased Gravity—prevented him from even taking off. He sank into the swamp, with only his head sticking out.

"Not bad, not bad at all. You didn't get me dirty. Your control over magic has improved quite a bit!"

Lin Fan stood up and offered a rare compliment.

Of all the blessed clans in the divine realm, the one he trusts the most is Law 1. Not only is he intelligent, but he also acts with great discretion, unlike Law 2, who is incredibly stubborn.

"So what should we do now? Continue pushing forward?"

Jiang Mengyao glanced at the silent village, stroked her chin, and then heard a click.

Oh, I forgot she's number one now.

This was a situation even Lin Fan had never encountered before, let alone her! How could he possibly know what to do...?

Wait a minute, this sounds more like—luring the enemy in deep?

Lin Fan's thoughts flashed, instantly connecting a series of events.

Hellish beasts that flee at the sight of a skeleton army, deserted villages, and the possible encounters of other demigods!

He attacked villages, but not a single hellish beast escaped!

But this only applies to him!

These hellish beasts are thick-skinned and move quite fast. Even if it were another demigod, they might not be able to wipe them all out. The hellish beasts that ran away as soon as they saw the legion were not out of fear, but because they were going to—report the news!

If even one hellish beast manages to escape, the news will spread to other villages and towns, allowing for a large-scale retreat and the gathering of troops...

As for why the information about these hellish beasts could be sent so quickly, Lin Fan didn't know. But with such a large secret realm, how could it be lacking in items?

Who knows what kind of remote communication technology they might have!

Now, if they want to continue exploring the secret realm, they can only follow the will of these hellish beasts and go deeper, or they can return to the divine realm now and end this battle.

Lin Fan believed that he was definitely not the only one who had thought of the other party's scheme, but this was an open conspiracy!

No demigod would choose to abandon such a large secret realm and retreat; they could only grit their teeth and continue to delve deeper into the secret realm.

After thinking through the possible scenarios, Lin Fan shared his guesses with everyone.

A fire flashed in Jiang Mengyao's eyes, and a divine decree was immediately issued.

The 100 million-strong skeleton army immediately split into three equal groups and began to return along the same route.

"A million skeletons are guarding an invasion passage in the Divine Realm; that should be enough to hold out until we return to defend."

Jiang Mengyao spoke softly.

"Yes, that's more than enough, even more than enough."

Lin Fan nodded in agreement, pressing down on Shi 1's head with one paw, signaling him to behave.

"So, what about now?"

"Of course, we'll continue on our route."

......

In reality, the skeleton army was not moving slowly, but compared to Zhou Junyu's entire wolf rider force, they were still a step slower. At this time, Zhou Junyu had already joined up with the orcs.

"You have a gargoyle too?"

Looking at the gargoyles following the orcs, Zhou Junyu was somewhat shocked. Could these gargoyles really fly that fast? His wolf riders had only just joined up with these orcs!

"Yes, it flew from the direction you came from. I thought the first person to meet me would be this gargoyle demigod, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Huo Zhengye was also somewhat surprised; he really hadn't expected the gargoyle to fly so fast!

Meanwhile, from the east, millions of centipedes began to scurry in.

"I didn't expect this place to be the demigod of this gargoyle. What a pity."

Qin Wugong sighed – he had come here eagerly to curry favor with someone powerful!

After testing the gargoyle's defensive capabilities and finding them to be even more outrageous than his armored centipede, he immediately changed course. Instead of continuing eastward, he turned westward, intending to meet up with the gargoyle's demigod. Unexpectedly, the area was filled with lush green kin, a color completely different from the gargoyle's!

However, since he was already there, he naturally didn't mind traveling with this demigod, after all, the other party had cavalry and looked quite strong.

When he arrived in front of these green creatures, he was stunned to find that there were two familiars and two gargoyles.

Where are my thighs?

I don't want goblins and orcs!

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

"There are three of them now. The gargoyles' flying speed is a bit ridiculous, isn't it?"

Zhou Junyu couldn't help but speak up. If he had known that this gargoyle was stronger than he had imagined, he would have changed course and gone to find the big boss long ago!

Huo Zhengye and Qin Wugong nodded repeatedly.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked your names yet. My name is Zhou Junyu."

"Huo Zhengye".

"Uh, Qin Wugong."

The two looked up at the centipede in front of them.

"Brother, we know your clan is centipedes, you don't need to emphasize it. Besides, aren't we asking your name?"

Huo Zhengye frowned and spoke. This person was emphasizing his race because he thought his clan was very strong and wanted to take the lead in the group of three.

"Yeah, brother, could it be that you...?"

Although he hadn't finished speaking, Zhou Junyu's eyes had already turned cold. Since this person looked down on their two clans, he naturally wouldn't beg to ask for the other person's name.

"Uh, no, brother, my name is Qin Wugong. Qin as in the Qin Dynasty, Wu as in useless, and Gong as in kung fu..."

Qin Wugong spoke helplessly; he knew this would cause such a misunderstanding.

"Oh, brother, you really can't blame me. I never expected your name to be centipede."

The orc controlled by Huo Zhengye scratched its head sheepishly, its eyes darting around.

"Haha, that's a good name, bro. Look at the mess this has made."

Zhou Junyu chuckled, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet for a moment.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. When I first awakened, my classmates looked at me even more strangely, and some even changed their names on the spot."

Qin Wugong shook his head nonchalantly, appearing quite 'carefree'.
