Chapter 196 - 195: Blueprints Acquired, Half-Dragon Man
Chapter 196: Chapter 195: Blueprints Acquired, Half-Dragon Man
“Ah—”
A heart-wrenching scream erupted in the market.
Lin You looked at the fiftieth corpse lying in front of him, his gaze calm.
And at the edge of the market, more than thirty Lords were gathered.
They had all rushed over from other places, attempting to seize the Battlefield Treasure.
Yet at this moment, they all looked at Lin You and the plants beside him with faces full of horror, none daring to approach.
Because those who dared, perished…
They simply couldn’t understand why there was such a terrifying existence within this battlefield.
A single person easily counter-attacking against dozens of Lords, and possessing so many monstrous species.
Especially that gigantic and absurdly twisted plant, it wasn’t something that could be cultivated by humans!
“What do we do? Do we continue?”
A Lord from a certain team quietly asked, his eyes filled with fear.
Other Lords nearby had the same expression, only remaining silent.
Just as they were deciding whether to leave or stay.
The species belonging to the Lords killed by Lin You began to rapidly shrink, as Immortal Flowers grew, joining the already enormous legion.
Witnessing this, the Lords trembled harshly once more.
No longer daring to linger, they shouted to their teams: “Retreat!”
In the blink of an eye, surrounding Lords fled and retreated, taking their species away from Lin You’s area, leaving the market suddenly empty.
Lin You watched the Lords scatter and flee, not pursuing them, nor bothering to chase.
Instead, he summoned the plants back, checking battle damage.
It must be said, Lords who survived to the second day were much stronger than those from the first day.
After the previous battle, he lost more than fifty Reproduction Species, and even half of his previously created Immortal Flower Legion from zombies was gone.
After all, facing the combined assault of so many elite Lords at once.
No matter how strong he was, it was impossible to escape unscathed.
But fortunately.
The plant’s main body suffered no casualties, and under the recovery aura of the Deceit Willow and the Elf Master’s group healing, they began splitting again into Reproduction Species, soon recovering to peak status.
His main combat strength still relied on Tier Eight Lingxi Cyan Rattan and Immortal Flower Legion.
This loss had little impact on him.
Seeing the corpses around him gradually transforming into Immortal Flowers, he relaxed, taking out the newly acquired blueprint from his personal space.
[Building Name: Species Base (Blueprint)]
[Building Level: Increases with Faith Level]
[Building Function: Can enhance various species types, with different effects depending on inserted Species Secret Treasure, can drop.]
[Construction Requirements: 2000 timber, 2000 stone, 1000 iron ore, 1000 copper ore, 500 magic powder, 10,000 Magic Energy]
This was the second time Lin You saw a territory building with the word “species.”
The first one he saw, Tower of Species, was extremely powerful, almost the most important building in his territory, and the foundation of his strength enhancement.
Seeing another building with the word “species,” he couldn’t help but feel anticipation, wondering what powerful role it would play.
According to the introduction.
It could enhance various species types, depending on inserted Species Secret Treasure.
Similar to the Blessing Sanctuary in Yellow Sand City.
However, Blessing Sanctuary was beneficial to the territory, while this was beneficial to species.
The problem was, he had no idea what the so-called “Species Secret Treasure” was or where to obtain it.
He recalled seeing something in the area channel where other Lords discussed this, but hadn’t paid attention.
It seemed a chance to inquire would be needed upon returning.
With that in mind, Lin You stored the blueprint away, into personal space.
After scanning the surroundings, he set off with the plants toward the city center, soon leaving the devastated market behind.
…
“Did you hear? A ruthless person emerged on the east side of the city, single-handedly challenging dozens of Lords and wiping them out.”
“Wow, one against dozens? That’s insane!”
“Not just insane, but ridiculous. This was heard from those Lords who escaped during my intelligence gathering.”
“So… what do we do? The east side is not far from us.”
“I think we should leave here, better than encountering that madman.”
“Agreed, I don’t want to die here.”
On a street in Dayan City, two Lords quietly discussed, spreading the major event that had just occurred in the city.
The news of Lin You’s spectacular display of power, exterminating dozens of Lords at once, gradually spread among Lords, causing a stir in the city.
Many Lords who received the news were skeptical, taking their species far from the eastern area.
Some did not believe it at all, continuing their exploration in the city.
Others, more astute, vaguely guessed Lin You’s identity.
Because just recently, the number of kills for first place changed.
[Kill Chart]
First Place: Lin You [Primordial Realm] Kill Count 211
Second Place: Ren Junhao [Primordial Realm] Kill Count 69
Third Place: Lovis [Illusion Demon Realm] Kill Count 66
Fourth Place: Wu Zongming [Rakshasa Realm] Kill Count 65
…
[Magic Ability Chart]
First Place: Lin You [Primordial Realm] Magic Energy 715,000
Second Place: Skemond [Abyss Realm] Magic Energy 228,000
Third Place: Ren Junhao [Primordial Realm] Magic Energy 209,000
Fourth Place: Long Caesar [Dragon Venerable Realm] Magic Energy 200,000
…
That’s right!
Because of the fierce battle just now, Lin You’s kill count soared to over two hundred, further widening the gap with the second place.
The accumulation of seventy thousand Magic Energy was enough to make countless lords green with envy.
In other words, if they could kill Lin You now, they could directly obtain seventy thousand Magic Energy.
But that’s not the most important thing.
According to circulating news, Lin You likely possesses one or even two Battlefield Treasures!
Two treasures…
If they could obtain them, their enhancement would be absolutely enormous!
Furthermore, Battlefield Treasures are guaranteed drops upon killing!
As the saying goes, men die for wealth and birds for food.
With the temptation of such vast resources, one self-proclaimed strong lord after another starts heading towards the east of the city, searching for Lin You’s whereabouts, attempting to seize his resources.
Even some highly ranked lords joined in.
If there was anyone among them who was the most rational and had no such thoughts.
It would likely be Meng Kun.
Because he was among the few who had fought against Lin You and survived.
He had personally experienced the terror of Lin You, and even recalling it now sends a chill down his spine.
Seeing those lords flock toward the eastern direction, not only did he refrain from joining them, but he also felt an evil pleasure at their misfortune.
“Go, go, hurry and die. It’s best if you all go. Let’s see how you die then.”
Meng Kun thought maliciously in his heart, feeling incredibly jubilant, even the gloom from the massive loss of his species was lifted.
Then, he took a few subordinates and species and left the area, continuing to clear out zombies and penetrating deeper into the city.
…
While Lin You was on the move, he didn’t know that he had been targeted by the lords.
At that moment, he was constantly killing the surrounding zombies to clear a path.
With the falling of swathes of zombies.
Finally, as the afternoon arrived, he successfully traversed the outer streets, reaching the inner city range.
He suddenly took in the view of the inner city.
“This is…”
Lin You’s eyes widened in surprise, gazing at the massive palace gate at the end of his sight.
It was actually a majestic and towering Imperial Palace.
And surrounding the Imperial Palace, a large number of zombies of various shapes had gathered, even Tier Eight zombies were not few!
But what shocked him the most was the city walls above the palace gates, where numerous gray-white roots were growing, almost covering the entire palace wall and continually spreading outward from the palace.
Could the Source of the Plague be inside this Imperial Palace?
Lin You’s expression became grave.
Even though he was at a very far distance, he could feel an extremely oppressive aura through the palace gates, and even the air was thick with the scent of blood.
He traced the bloody scent, looking towards both sides of the palace gate.
In the next instant, his pupils suddenly constricted.
What did he see?
Piles of corpses!
Just heaps of them piled up like garbage in the deep pits beside the palace walls, reaching a height of tens of meters!
A single glance, and the ground was covered with bones.
Blood flowed from the corpses towards the surroundings, staining the nearby ground black-red.
This was at least… the mass killing of over ten thousand people to achieve!
Lin You was incredibly shocked.
These people obviously rushed towards the palace during the disaster and were killed.
What on earth happened to drive them to such madness?
Could there be something life-saving inside the palace, or did they simply want to shelter inside it?
The more Lin You thought, the more puzzled he became.
And at that moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps and several shouts suddenly came from behind, rapidly approaching him.
“I heard that Lin You is in this eastern area of the city, let’s keep searching, no way can we let alien races from other realms get ahead.”
Huh?
Looking for me?
Lin You’s eyes gradually narrowed.
With a wave of his hand, the plants around him spread out, hiding behind buildings along the streets, while Cyan Rattan withdrew its vines back to the ground, hiding its main body.
In the blink of an eye, only a few plants remained by Lin You’s side.
Sure enough, not long after, a team of lords appeared at the street corner, hurrying towards him.
But what surprised Lin You was.
These so-called “people” were not humans, but towering figures covered in scales—Half-Dragon Men!
“Look, Brother Caesar! There’s a human ahead!”
At this, the swiftly approaching Half-Dragon Lord noticed Lin You on the street and halted his steps.
The teams on both sides thus faced each other across the street.
After taking a moment to scrutinize each other, a Half-Dragon Man covered in golden scales stepped out from the team, gazing at Lin You with arrogance.
“Human, I have questions for you. Answer obediently if you don’t want to die.”
They clearly didn’t consider Lin You a threat, seeing him alone.
Lin You’s expression remained calm, observing the species around these alien races; they were almost all Sub-Dragon Type species, and all reached Tier Seven or above.
Especially the leading Half-Dragon Man, riding a massive pure Earth Dragon, its presence nearly Tier Eight.
And earlier, the other Half-Dragon Men seemed to call him Caesar.
Could this guy be Long Caesar, the Magic Ability Chart’s fourth place?
Thinking of this, Lin You’s gaze towards the other changed, as if he were looking at a mobile money bag, gleaming brightly.
