Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 187: Chapter 186: Tier Eight, Fearful Beldam

Time flows swiftly like water.

In the blink of an eye, only half a month remains until the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms opens.

Since Lin You obtained ten Tier Seven Territory Essences and 100,000 Honor Points from Qin Li, he hasn’t participated in any battles or mingled in the main city.

Instead, he stayed within his territory to recuperate and develop it.

He used the Magic Energy he had just earned to summon craftsmen to build city walls, dig new canals, and recruit the population.

Yellow Sand City expanded from a small town to a medium-sized city, with its population successfully surpassing the ten thousand mark.

Including the Dwarf Race, the population neared thirteen thousand, and it continued to increase daily.

Many people were attracted by the rapid development of Yellow Sand City and its trade with the Flame River Kingdom and moved there to settle.

Passing merchants and cultivators were countless, drawn by the city’s abundant resources.

The entire Yellow Sand City had become the largest city within the borders of the Great Wilderness Kingdom.

This transformation was largely due to Lin You’s massive investment of resources, achieving such changes in just a few months.

Other lords, even if they wished, could not accomplish the same feats.

After all, they had to spend substantial Magic Energy to recruit species again to compensate for their losses in battles.

But Lin You was different.

He possessed the Infinite Reproduction Skill, and most of his losses were among the Reproduction Species, which didn’t require extra Magic Energy for recruitment.

Unknowingly, this gave him a significant resource advantage over other lords for territory development, which was one of his strengths.

Today marked the completion of Yellow Sand City’s new district, and Lin You arrived there early in the morning with Xue Changgui to inspect the construction progress.

“Lord, the outer city is basically completed, only lacking some basic buildings. Should we continue to hire craftsmen for construction?”

Walking on the road, Xue Changgui spoke to the nearby Lin You.

During this period, due to Lin You’s substantial resource investment, many craftsmen were hired, speeding up the progress significantly.

But correspondingly,

Lin You’s Magic Energy was depleted rapidly, leaving only a few tens of thousands.

He pondered for a moment and said, “Not for now. Leave the remaining buildings to the original city’s craftsmen to construct slowly. For now, focus on the population resettlement and land allocation. You’re attentive, so I’ll leave it to you to arrange.”

“Alright, I’ll handle it properly,”

Xue Changgui responded respectfully.

After discussing some issues about the new district’s planning, Lin You left with a few species by his side.

On his way back, a notification rang in his mind.

[Congratulations, Mad Beldam·Cyan Rattan has reached full experience and meets the upgrade requirements for Tier Eight. Upgrading requires consuming ten Tier Seven Territory Essences. Do you wish to upgrade?]

Finally, after such a long accumulation, Cyan Rattan’s experience was maxed out!

Lin You’s face lit up with joy, and without hesitation, he chose to upgrade, hurrying back to his territory.

From a distance, he saw Cyan Rattan’s body enveloped in a radiant glow, with vines around it rapidly growing.

The most surprising thing for Lin You was Cyan Rattan’s main body.

It even surpassed the Tree of Life in height, blooming an enormous Blood Flower at its crown.

The surrounding Thorn Forest extended nearly eight hundred meters, bursting through the city walls into Yellow Sand City, causing nearby residents to exclaim in surprise.

Cyan Rattan’s upgraded attributes immediately caught Lin You’s attention.

[Name: Fearful Beldam·Cyan Rattan (Royal Family)]

[Race: Plant (Hero)]

[Level: Tier Eight (0/5000)]

[Power: 2200 (+250)]

[Constitution: 2500 (+250)]

[Agility: 450 (+250)]

[Spirit: 2000 (+250)]

[Skills: Devouring, Blood Poisonous Mist, Forest of Fear (enemies in the Forest of Fear naturally experience fear, with their Spiritual Attribute reduced by an extra 10%), Bloody Frenzy]

[Earth’s Gift: Wound recovery speed increased by 50%]

[Introduction: One of the three branches of Corruption, Fallen, and Fear Beldams, born for war; its blood greatly amplifies its potential, fighting more vigorously as it battles, exerting a powerful suppression on the enemy’s spirit.]

“So strong!”

Lin You couldn’t help but exclaim, slowing his steps gradually.

The Tier Eight Cyan Rattan not only saw its attributes skyrocket to over two thousand points, but its skills also evolved.

In the forest’s range, the spiritual attribute is additionally reduced by 10%!

This means that any enemy within this entire eight-hundred-meter radius would be affected by it!

The reduction in spirit translates to decreased skill power, and they become more susceptible to control from the Enchanting Beldam; this enhancement was indeed monumental for him.

It’s no exaggeration to say that

Within the Fear Forest, Cyan Rattan is nothing less than a god of its Tier!

No one dares challenge its status!

Excited, Lin You hastened his pace, rushing back to his territory.

Soon,

he noticed other notable changes.

The giant vines of Cyan Rattan were darker and denser than before.

Entering the forest, hardly any sunlight penetrated through, creating a chilling atmosphere, even shrouded in a faint mist, lending the entire forest an air of mystery.

Let alone an enemy, even he found it slightly eerie, no wonder it diminished spirit.

Reaching his territory underneath Cyan Rattan’s main body, he realized the Tree of Life could barely accommodate Cyan Rattan, with massive roots stretching outward, almost a colossus.

It seemed after the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, he needed to upgrade his territory as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he worried Cyan Rattan might overwhelm the Tree of Life.

With that thought, Lin You opened his territory information to take a glance.

[Territory Name: Tree of Life]

[Territory Level: Tier Six (523/500)]

[Territory Durability: 2000/2000 (+2000)]

[Recruit Species: Plant Type]

[Recruitment Number: 120/120]

[Territory Introduction: The lord’s survival foundation, possessing various functions; if the Territory Core is breached, the lord perishes.]

[Upgrade Requirements: Wood (3000/3000), Stone (5534/3000), Iron Ore (3309/1500), Copper Ore (3147/1500), Magic Energy (44720/5000), Tier Six Territory Essence (26/10)]

[Note: Plant Type Territory Trait, self-sufficient in wood.]

…

Indeed!

His territory now fulfilled all conditions for upgrading to Tier Seven.

He simply hadn’t rushed to upgrade yet.

With his current strength, handling typical Tier Seven was fine, but he couldn’t confidently deal with seasoned Tier Seven lords.

Moreover, the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms is a convergence of heroes, featuring not just one enemy.

He wasn’t arrogant enough to believe that a single Tier Eight species could sweep across hundreds or thousands of lords from different realms and seize the Battlefield Treasure from their hands.

Not to mention capturing the Faith Treasure Pearl appearing at the end.

So he decided to hold off the upgrade, heading to the Tier Six battlefield to gather resources and treasures, stabilizing his roots before ascending to Tier Seven.

This way, he’d be more confident in the upcoming war between the realms.

“It’s just half a month left…”

Lin You murmured to himself, his gaze growing deeper.

In half a month, who knows how many would perish in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms.
