Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 316: Chapter 314: Resources Delivered to the Door

All around Lin You’s territory is an endless battlefield.

It is evident that a large-scale war once took place here.

The ground is littered with worn-out weapons and corroded bones, likely centuries old.

Perhaps a realm where fortune was stripped away long ago.

Even older than the Tier Six battlefield he last entered.

Back then, the demons he encountered retained a trace of their past consciousness.

Here, however, the demons are completely demonized, transforming into emotionless skeletons driven solely by slaughter.

Lin You had barely ventured far from his territory when a large number of skeletal demons began to emerge, forcing him to clear them as he cautiously advanced.

The level of these demons matched the S-level of the previous Beast Tide.

The closer he got to the battlefield’s depths, the denser they became, and other species of demons began to appear.

“It seems the Lord Demon is definitely within,” Lin You muttered, his gaze penetrating the demon-infested depths.

Those startling roars earlier were clearly the cries of the Lord Demon.

To acquire the battlefield treasures, they must be vanquished.

This distinguishes the Tier Eight battlefield from the low-tier ones.

Unlike low-tier battlefields, treasures aren’t automatically refreshed after a certain time.

Treasures in Tier Eight battlefields are not easily acquired and might face ambushes from other lords, requiring careful planning.

Other lords are likely similarly cautious, still exploring and avoiding rash actions.

“Hmm? Hold on,” Lin You suddenly ordered the troop to stop, his eyes caught by a commotion in the demon group ahead.

In the demon group less than a kilometer away, a figure leads a swarm of Insect Species, advancing slowly.

Another lord, exploring outside their territory, just like him!

As Lin You noticed him, the other noticed Lin You, immediately stopping, gaze wary.

They stared across the battlefield, neither making the first move.

Lin You preferred not to engage in battle yet, focusing on exploring the surrounding area.

The Insect Lord was shocked by the sight of Lin You’s species, eyes narrowing slightly.

It wasn’t the diversity of Lin You’s species that startled him.

Reaching Tier Eight meant having more than five species types.

What astonished him was the aura emanating from those plants, even from afar, exerting an oppressive presence.

This person.

Very strong!

Not ordinarily strong!

The Insect Lord quickly concluded, heart shaken.

Even with the distance obscuring detailed information about those plants, he was certain.

If he fought against Lin You, victory would be unlikely; escape was the only choice.

Yet, retreating directly back to his territory would expose its location, a foolish move.

Thus, gradually.

He withdrew with his insect army in a different direction, carefully tracking Lin You’s movements.

The brief encounter ended as both vanished from each other’s sight.

“Let’s go, explore other areas,” Lin You remarked, glancing at the direction of the retreat, before continuing his exploration with the plants.

Now, he’s 100 kilometers from his territory.

Even if discovered, pinpointing the territory wouldn’t be easy without extensive flying species searches.

However, such searches simultaneously reveal the enemy’s location, making it risky.

Quickly.

Lin You toured a 100-kilometer radius without finding other territories.

The only lord he encountered was the Insect Lord.

Most were likely still bunkered, using newfound resources to strengthen or replenish species lost in the Beast Tide.

Lin You was an exception, losing no core species, only needing to recover the Power of Nature, avoiding recruitment delays.

[Warning! Your territory is under attack!]

[Warning! Your territory is under attack!]

[Warning! Your territory is under attack!]

Suddenly.

The continuous alerts echoed in Lin You’s mind, shattering his thoughts.

“My territory is attacked?” Lin You’s visage darkened, glancing toward his territory.

In less than two hours of his departure, someone’s attacking, likely nearby lords.

“Let’s go back!”

With a shout, he swiftly mounted the Demon King Dragon, recalled his species to the Origin Space, hurriedly returning to the territory.

…

Meanwhile.

At the base of the slope where Lin You’s territory was situated.

Two figures led a massive group, encircled the slope, attacking frantically.

“Quickly resolve those plants, we must destroy the territory before he returns!”

“Damn! There’s a protective shield, break it now!”

The two, indeed lords from the same realm.

With Elemental Type and Mechanical Type species extensively bombarded the territory’s protective shield, explosive sounds ringing incessantly.

Ordinarily speaking.

In a territory with a Lord, unless there’s overwhelming strength, few people are willing to attack.

After all, the Lord has the home advantage, and as long as there’s Magic Energy, troops can be recruited endlessly.

Even in a war of attrition, they can be worn out to death.

Yet now, Lin You is not in the territory.

Without the Lord, the species cannot multiply, making it a perfect opportunity for an attack.

“I didn’t expect to be so lucky, coming across a windfall of resources so soon after arriving.”

“Just a little more effort, and the protective shield will soon break!”

The two Lords shouted excitedly, commanding their troops to attack.

The Elemental Species led the charge, blocking the plants and Cannibal Flowers that continuously emerged from the Vine Forest.

The Mechanical Species in the rear provided fire support, bombarding the protective shield.

The combined forces of the two had six to seven hundred troops, and they were not weak.

The protective shield with a durability of ten thousand could not hold for long in front of them.

Before long, the durability of the territory’s protective shield finally dropped to its lowest point, starting to show cracks.

Seeing this, the two immediately felt invigorated.

“Damn, finally broke it. Didn’t expect these plants to attack so fiercely.” The Elemental Lord cursed.

“Indeed.” The Mechanical Lord nodded silently, “This Lord’s strength is quite formidable, with such strong species, it’s good he’s not here. Looks like we’re about to receive a huge resource windfall.”

“Hahaha, this is great!”

The two were elated, their faces full of pride.

But they didn’t know.

The species they were facing now were merely proliferated bodies and summoned creatures.

But because the two were in a low-lying area, they couldn’t clearly see the situation within the territory, nor could they sense much aura.

The giant vines, standing still, were mistaken for some kind of plant-type defense, and they didn’t pay much attention.

Of course.

Before the attack.

They even taunted outside the territory for quite a while.

Only after confirming that no one responded, did they finally make their move.

Now seeing the protective shield about to shatter.

They couldn’t hold back and immediately shouted orders to their respective species to attack with full force.

Crack!

Finally, with a crisp sound, the protective shield shattered completely, disintegrating into countless fragments and dissipating into the air.

“The protective shield is broken, attack with full force!”

“Charge! Destroy his Territory Core first!”

The two Lords were obviously veterans.

As soon as the territory’s defenses were breached, they immediately redirected the species to focus their long-range attacks on the World Tree in the center of the territory.

As long as the Territory Core is destroyed, and the Lord perishes.

Then all these plants will die off, posing no further threat to them.

Only fools would waste time fighting them.

However.

Was it really as easy as they imagined?

As the two excitedly led their species up the hill.

The entire hillside suddenly filled with a faint, indistinct Poison Mist.

Purple, pink, and red mists intertwined.

They spread from the center of the territory to all sides of the hill.

“Something’s not right.”

The Mechanical Lord quickly noticed something amiss, stopping midway up the hill.

The Elemental Lord was also uncertain, looking around.

Unlike inexperienced Low-tier Lords, their numerous battles had long tempered their senses and caution beyond ordinary people.

They didn’t notice it due to the terrain earlier.

But when they charged up the hillside, they suddenly realized something was wrong.

Because those giant vines seemed to be moving!

And they were exuding an extremely terrifying aura!

“Not good! It’s an ambush, retreat quickly!”

The Mechanical Lord exclaimed in shock, quickly commanding his mechanical leopard to change direction, the booster jet bursting into speed, racing back at a rapid pace.

The Elemental Lord was not slow either.

With the Wind Element mount’s hurricane boost, he accelerated and turned towards the foot of the hill.

Not hesitating for a moment!

Unfortunately, they were still a step too late.

Just as they reached two-thirds down the hill, with a thunderous roar, countless giant vines suddenly rose around them.

Amidst the violent tremors, they trapped them and their species on the hillside.

“Damn! These vines are alive!”

At this moment, the faces of the two Lords finally changed.

Earlier, because the vines were obstructing from the outside, they couldn’t lock onto the true form of the vines, so naturally, they couldn’t see the vine’s attributes or sense its aura.

They had assumed it was merely a larger ordinary vine.

After all.

Who the hell has ever seen a Tier Eight species this large?

At least, they had never seen it before.

But as they turned around and saw the huge figure gradually emerging in the center of the Vine Forest, their eyes widened suddenly.

Especially when they saw the information interface pop up before their eyes, their hearts surged with immense waves.

This plant that encompassed the entire hillside.

It was actually a plant-type species!!
