Chapter 1125 - 606: The Lord’s Positioning and the Value of the Poison Swamp

Zong Shen maintained a cautious distance from the other Lords.

He neither actively participated in the [Regional Channel] like Medina and Jiang Yi to establish social connections between Lords.

Nor did he rely on plundering or using other Lords for development like Sangui Yingshu and Wang Xuan.

For Zong Shen, who had the Guide Module, robbing Lords was actually a low-yield behavior.

It was like losing a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

Instead of doing this, he might as well dig up more relics.

Not to mention, he hadn’t thoroughly explored even the Mine yet!

After all, his development progress was already far ahead of other Lords.

Moreover, the Lord System was more inclined to encourage cooperation among Lords.

Although the Lords now are not considered strong and may flee in panic before the Little Black Dragon,

This is because the Lords are all fighting far away from their Territory.

And the number of gathered Lords hasn’t reached the threshold of Little Black Dragon’s tolerance.

Each Lord’s Territory more or less has warriors to guard their home and various Defense Arrow Towers.

This time, the battle was not an all-out effort.

Except for Zong Shen and Jiang Yi, the other Lords in the region had no idea there was a powerful Pure-blooded Black Dragon residing in the Poisonous Mist Swamp.

For most participating Lords, their motive to enter the Poison Swamp was exploration, treating the swamp as an ordinary danger, underestimating its threat level.

This situation arose from a lack of information.

Zong Shen did not want to mock those Lords, because he knew not everyone could organize the entire picture from a "God’s perspective."

Without his "advantage," he could very well be an ordinary Lord lost in the crowd.

Ready to lose his life due to an unwise exploration decision.

Besides, the various challenge activities of the Lord System constantly instill the concept that "risk and reward are proportional."

Corpses piled in risk will forge the throne for the successful and fortunate.

All considered, the Lords’ thirst for adventure and exploration will gradually increase.

Thus, it’s not fair to say these Lords are reckless or careless; the reasons are multifaceted.

Humans themselves are extremely complex creatures.

Among them are the stupid, the dull, the honest, and the loyal.

Also, there are the conservative, the stubborn, the bold, and the aggressive.

Even knowing death is certain, some are willing to die generously for their ideals.

Some fear death, while others do not.

Therefore, no behavioral template can fully interpret and represent the human race.

Adventurers are not qualified to ridicule the cautious ones.

Those who preserve themselves have no right to call those who die generously stupid.

It’s just personal choices and different natures.

The reverse is also true.

It is the complexity of human nature and diversity of character that grant humanity its brilliant social civilization.

Zong Shen profoundly agreed with this.

Before the second act begins, that is, before the second batch of Lords arrives, he will strive to complete regional Lord integration, rallying all usable forces, merging them to have the ability to compete with the Indigenous People.

One Lord is like sand, a hundred Lords are like a mound of yellow sand, what about a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand, a million?

Furthermore, Lords, like Giant Dragons, have very obvious potential for growth.

Relying on the convenience and Lord challenges provided by the Lord System, all Lords will gradually grow.

Even the most conservative Lord has more growth potential than ordinary Indigenous People.

In other words, all Lords are also a kind of "resource."

If utilized properly, they can become Zong Shen’s best assistants for dominating the Continent.

In this situation, plundering and assaulting Lords would be a waste.

This has been discovered by many people in the region since the [Legion] function appeared.

This highlights the differences in individual vision and choice.

As a Lord with exceptionally advanced development progress, Zong Shen naturally understands this.

Therefore, he maintains a cautious distance, not interfering with the Lords’ normal development and cognitive evolution.

He only needs to reap when the time is ripe.

This is the true essence of gathering all possible strength.

Lord’s Influence and relationships are an unavoidable topic in development.

Zong Shen constantly maintains a sense of crisis, always striving to create optimal strategies.

Only then can he face future challenges.

Including the "Third Act" mentioned by the mysterious Lord Chen Rui.

No matter what situation will arise in the future, more preparation and awareness are never wrong.

Thinking of this, he smugly smirked, no longer looking at those Lords below.

Zong Shen immersed his mind in the Storage Grid, quickly retrieving a pill.

It was the previously obtained [Antitoxic Pill (Blue)], equivalent to Tier Three quality, able to resist the invasion of poisonous mist.

The light green mist above the entire Poisonous Mist Swamp was thinning.

After losing Xiaoheizi’s support, the toxicity of the mist was greatly reduced.

The mist here originates from the swamp environment transformed by the Black Dragon combined with some Natural Type poison casting.

The two complement each other, resulting in the mist reaching half the toxicity of Tier Three.

Therefore, the Antitoxic Pill is sufficient to deal with the weakened mist.

This place is not far from the Poison Swamp, and in just two or three minutes, Xiaoheizi carried Zong Shen down into the Poison Swamp.

The entire swamp was an irregular ellipse.
