Chapter 1900: Chapter 1060: Storm of Greed, Soul Stone Speculation! (Part 2)
Su Lin’s time on Earth during the struggle era, even though human technology hadn’t progressed, its nuclear weapons, exceptionally powerful laser beams, armor-piercing bullets, and seventh-generation warplanes could, to some extent, threaten the Ancestral Species.
So, much of Earth human peak-period experience is beyond comprehension for civilizations and forces accustomed to respecting the strong.
Now, Su Lin is preparing to exploit the resource trading weaknesses of the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and Plunderer Federation to orchestrate a feast of wealth!
The Erosion Spirit King is tasked merely with cooperating with some undercover agents under the Wolf Lord’s command to manage a few tasks!
Moreover, in the Erosion Spirit King’s view, these two Star Nebula Great Clans are clearly hesitating and considering defecting to the “Unspeakable” and the Sky-Cunning Beast,
If merely accomplishing some effortless tasks entrusted to him by the Wolf Lord could make them give up completely, there’s a chance they’d willingly become vassals of the Undead Holy Sect,
Then it would be a monumental achievement!
Therefore, the Erosion Spirit King eventually agreed to all of the Wolf Lord’s demands, deploying his countless trillion-level Undead Army Group at the periphery of both forces, and publicly announcing the procurement of soul stones from the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and Plunderer Federation.
Soul stones are the essence condensed from soul spirits, they are far more valuable than blood stones, star stones, and luck stones.
Because soul stones have a wide array of applications.
Such as nurturing soul power, enhancing soul body cultivation, maintaining clear divine sense,
when the soul spirit is exhausted or injured, a large amount of soul stones is needed for healing, even many soul spirit-type heavy weapons, soul spirit-type star energy weapons, etc., require considerable consumption of soul stones.
Thus, soul stone prices have always been ten times that of blood stones, star stones, and luck stones.
At times, even higher.
And for a vast soul body-like force like the Undead Army Group, it is already a major consumer of soul stones, the news of intending to procure soul stones now hasn’t drawn any attention from the official and unofficial fronts of the two forces.
After all, this is an ordinary affair.
Yet, unbeknownst to anyone, within this seeming normality, a plot, like a starry-sky tsunami, is slowly being arranged and unfolded!
…..
At this moment, in a castle at the confluence of the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Undead Army Group, Su Lin and his party had long concealed their energy, transforming their forms to blend in among various species groups.
“Wolf Lord, with the Undead Army Group’s public announcement to purchase soul stones, indeed many Exotic Beast Tribes are selling to them, resulting in a slight increase in market price.”
The Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, after understanding the current situation, returned to report to the Wolf Lord.
Even she, who hadn’t taken a step away from the Wolf Lord, as a follower and War Emperor, couldn’t imagine how the Wolf Lord dared to promise that within ten thousand years, these two Star Nebula Great Clans would no longer have the power to switch alliances or start great wars?
It’s important to recognize these are two Star Nebula Great Clans!
Perhaps currently ranked lower than Wolf Pack Civilization, but their strength as Star Nebula Great Clans is genuine and untainted!
So, when the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly followed the Wolf Lord to meet that Marquis from the Undead Holy Sect,
She felt both awe at the Wolf Lord’s ability to plant an undercover agent of such high status!
And awe at the Wolf Lord’s promise!
“Yes, good. Next, instruct the Dream Guards to disperse and secretly start purchasing soul stones, buy as many as possible until the entire market is emptied of soul stones; I want every Exotic Beast and faction within these two Star Nebula Great Clans to understand, this moment soul stones will become the most sought-after hard currency in this region!”
Su Lin noticed the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly’s astonishment, but he gave no explanation.
Because these tactics come from some small tricks circulating on Earth.
Just that these small tricks leverage human’s greed and inherent flaws, and exploit market loopholes.
And now, these traits are present in these two Star Nebula Great Clans as well.
Especially since the Western Star Core has been at war for years, causing all forces to disregard the resource trading system.
Given this lack of attention, it offers Su Lin genuine manipulation room!
Ten thousand years?
Su Lin even feels that this timeframe is too lengthy!
Because once the storm of greed and financial trouble fully arises, it often requires a very short period to destroy everything,
leading to humanity’s ethical breakdown, causing a collapse in standards!
Especially in this era where resources are more precious than life!
Back in Earth’s human era, with strong regulation, such financial turmoil and storms of greed could disturb societal survival,
So in this unregulated place, where no major clan would foolishly buy for middle and lower-tier Exotic Beasts and military power,
Su Lin is eager to see how deep this collapse in mindset among various Exotic Beasts can go when it occurs?
After all, in this age under the Dark Starry Sky, these Exotic Beasts are not willing and docile citizens.
They all understand one principle, that is “live yourself, not worry about others!”
When unable to survive, an extremely brutal and hideous scene of humans eating humans, beasts eating beasts is bound to play out.
…..
Standing before Meng Hu, gazing at Meng Hu’s expression as if looking at a lifeless corpse with cold indifference, devoid of emotional waves.
An intense aura of danger instantly enveloped the entire body of the Invincible Fierce Tiger, causing him to take a deep breath, as if he was fish on the chopping board, ready to be butchered, this feeling nearly shattered Meng Hu’s mindset; the Invincible Fierce Tiger didn’t understand why the White Wolf didn’t just kill him directly, rather expending effort to bring him from the ice layer back to the Land of Adventure, this fear of the unknown surged in Meng Hu’s heart, yet in this moment of weakness, he lacked any power to resist, even amid inner panic, in the Land of Adventure, the White Wolf’s territory, it was futile.
Su Lin scrutinized the Meng Hu before him, like an exalted master surveying his slave brought back, eyes showing indifference.
“Aoo—” Su Lin softly howled to the Wolf Clan beside him, indicating the Wolf Clan to take away this dying Siberia Tiger, and guard him well.
The Wolf Clan beside swiftly figured it out, several members coming together to drag Meng Hu away; his wounds were abraded against the ground, and the already festering injuries oozed fresh blood again, the long bloodstains stretched from Su Lin’s feet all the way out of the cave, seeming endless.
Su Lin watched this trail of blood, his gaze still calm like water in an ancient well.
As for the remaining Variant Species Flesh, Su Lin then awarded based on merit, a process all Wolf Clan eagerly anticipated, for them, nothing was more important than food.
A few Wolf Clan started eyeing the Variant Species Flesh in the distance with ravenous intent, eyes gleaming with aggression, as though waiting for Su Lin’s order would unleash their instincts, charging towards the Variant Species Flesh.
Su Lin’s gaze moved to the two towering figures standing by, Xiao Hui sensed their Wolf King’s imposing gaze and quickly straightened up, while Little Lone Wolf kept a respectful and lowered posture, which pleased Su Lin quite a bit.
As the Lead Wolf, Little Lone Wolf wields tremendous power but still faces Su Lin with reverence.
And Xiao Hui, as usual, with a lively nature, even with evolved intellect acts like an eight-year-old, carefree, dreaming of following Su Lin into battles, spreading the Wolf Clan’s prestige across the Arctic.
Facing the two White Wolves who stay loyal and made significant contributions in the recent battle, Su Lin generously rewards them with three hundred pounds of flesh, the unexpected bountiful reward delights Xiao Hui into a loud joyful howl, and though Little Lone Wolf remains composed, his excited howl reveals the joy of both White Wolves to Su Lin.
Other Wolf Clan, as long they participated in battle and achieved commendable feats, were also rewarded with bounties.
