Chapter 167 – Law of the Jungle!
“Black Turtle Clan?”
Shi Kongshen frowned and looked at Yong Jingfeng, “You should know that we have a grudge with the Black Turtle Clan. How can we cooperate with them?”
Yong Jingfeng said, “Lord Shi, the fight between you two is just for your respective Dark Holy Stones. Since we all need Dark Holy Stones, we can naturally cooperate.”
“I have already asked for good news. There is a Pure Dark Holy Stone in the succubus territory. As long as we have this news, the Black Turtle Clan will definitely agree to cooperate!”
Hearing Yong Jingfeng’s words, Shi Kongshen’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Pure Dark Holy Stone? Is what you said true?”
Although he did not know why the black fog had engulfed this place, he discovered that there were a lot of Holy Stones here, which made Shi Kongshen very excited.
Originally, with the Dark Holy Stone in his hand, he did not know how long it would take to upgrade it.
But if he had the Pure Dark Holy Stone, then the time for him to break through to the Saint tier would be greatly reduced.
For this reason, even if he temporarily gave up his hatred with the Black Turtle Clan, it would not be so difficult to accept.
“Good! Since there is a Pure Dark Holy Stone, then I will talk to the Black Turtle Clan and cooperate with them.” Shi Kongshen moved his body and said softly.
Yong Jingfeng’s eyes flickered as he said, “Lord Shi, I personally feel that just joining forces with the Black Turtle clan is not enough.”
“Just now, I also told you that the Succubus territory has quite a number of rank nine soldiers, and the territory’s defense is very strong. Therefore, I feel that Lord Shi should find more allies.”
Ever since the last offensive army was completely wiped out, Yong Jingfeng had been searching for a way to take revenge.
The black fog changed, and Shi Kongshen and the nine-headed snake clan appeared around his territory, giving Yong Jingfeng hope.
By contributing magic crystals to Shi Kongshen and leading the hydra clan to plunder the surrounding territory, Yong Jingfeng gained the trust of Shi Kongshen.
In his opinion, this was an important opportunity for him to take revenge!
The ninth rank Shi Kongshen, along with the many Hydra clan and the Black Turtle Clan, was very powerful.
If he could find some other allies, it would be even more foolproof.
Hearing this, Shi Kongshen slightly lowered his head and said coldly to Yong Jingfeng, “What do you mean? Do you think our hydra clan is not strong enough?”
As a creature that was about to break through to the next realm, Shi Kongshen had the right to have their own pride.
To deal with a territory, especially a territory of a new lord, it was already a little shameful to ally with the Black Turtle Clan.
He did not expect this guy to want him to ally with other forces!
Yong Jingfeng’s body turned cold. He felt as if Shi Kongshen would devour him in the next moment.
It was still very dangerous to discuss matters with this unstable fellow.
If not for the drive of hatred, Yong Jingfeng would definitely not be together with Shi Kongshen.
Without any hesitation, Yong Jingfeng hurriedly said with an apologetic smile, “Lord Shi, you must be joking. I just want to be more cautious.”
“Moreover, we might encounter other rank 9 forces along the way. At that time, there might be friction. The stronger the force, the better.”
After the black fog mutated, there were many new rank 9 forces. Some were like the Hydra clan, with only their leader being a rank 9 force. There were even forces whose members were all rank 9.
The Shi Kongshen raised its head, its cold snake eyes flickering with a faint light.
Then, it looked at Yong Jingfeng and asked, “What other force do you want me to join forces with?”
Yong Jingfeng’s face lit up with joy, and then he said, “Lord Shi, the Black Flood Dragon Clan in the east, the Dark Centaur clan in the north, and even the Dark Shaman Demon Clan in the north are all people who can join forces!”
He naturally hoped that the more tier 9 factions he could join forces with, the better. This way, he would be able to more clearly break through the succubus territory.
Hearing Yong Jingfeng’s words, Shi Kongshen thought for a moment before coldly saying, “No! I can only tolerate joining Black Flood Dragon Clan. I can not consider anything else. Otherwise, how will I be able to split the Pure Dark Holy Stone?”
When Yong Jingfeng heard this, he was about to continue persuading, but when he saw Shi Kongshen’s cold gaze, he tactfully shut his mouth.
“Since Lord Shi is like this, then let’s join forces with the Black Flood Dragon Clan. I believe we can definitely break through the succubus territory. Lord Shi will also be able to obtain the Pure Dark Holy Stone as he wishes.”
Shi Kongshennodded, then looked at Yong Jingfeng and said, “Have you found your prey for today?”
Yong Jingfeng was stunned for a moment, then, he nodded and said, “I’ve long been prepared. Just like before, I’ll take the lead. Lord Shi, you will lead your clansmen to attack from behind. This time, the prey is a territory at the right rear of my territory. It’s a Tier 7 soldier. It’s very easy to deal with.”
Shi Kongshen nodded. “Just like before. After we break through the territory, the demon meat and magic crystals will all belong to us. The rest of the resources will all belong to you.”
Yong Jingfeng bowed and said, “Thank you, Lord Shi.”
Shi Kongshen’s eyes revealed a hint of disdain as he said indifferently, “Lead the way!”
…
In the succubus territory, Ren Qi was looking at the chat group in his communication device, wanting to see if there was any new news recently.
[ Everyone, everyone has felt some changes during the Black Fog’s mutation, right? There are quite a number of monster forces around my territory. ]
[ That’s right, I’ve also noticed that compared to the scattered monsters before, the monsters that appeared after the Black Fog’s mutation tend to be in groups, or in other words, they are of different races. ]
[ Yeah, just like the territories’ forces, they are entrenched in the new terrain, making it difficult for me to enter the new terrain to hunt. ]
[ That’s right, that’s right. It’s the same on my side. Once I enter the new terrain, I’ll be attacked by these monster forces. I’ll suffer heavy losses. ]
[ In the new terrain, there will definitely be new resources. Unfortunately, with the existence of these monster forces, I can’t develop them at all. ]
[ You’re still thinking about developing them? A few of the new lord territories around me have already been broken through by the monster forces. Among them, the new lord territories and soldiers have all been devoured. ]
[The same thing happened to me, even though I have Tier-7 troops.]
[ I heard that there was a mole on the side of the new lord. He then informed these new monsters to attack the other new lord’s territories together. There are more than one of them. ]
[ Damn it, we are in such a terrible place. The situation itself is very dangerous, and there are people who want to be traitors.]
[ It’s too late to say anything now. Let’s be careful. We must be careful of the monster forces in the new terrain. If we really can’t resist them, we should abandon our territory and become desolate hunters. It’s better than losing our lives.]
[ Desolate hunters? I’ve forgotten about them. How are the desolate hunters doing now? How long can they survive without the protection of the territory?]
[ I heard that most of the desolate hunters have died. Most of the remaining ones are seeking protection in the territories of the new lords. So far, I haven’t heard of any desolate hunters with good development. ]
[ … ]
Looking at the messages in the chat group, Ren Qi’s eyes flickered slightly.
He knew about the new monster forces after the black fog mutation, but he didn’t expect that the new monster forces from other places had already started to attack the territories of the new lords.
For the new lords, after the black fog mutated, there were many new terrains and monsters. This was a kind of disguised resource, but it was also a great test.
If Ren Qi hadn’t used a cannon to deter the elemental elves in the forest ahead, the elemental elves would have attacked his territory first after they attacked the dark elves.
The elemental elves were the first to be dealt with in order to obtain the resources in the new forest ahead.
As long as the problem of the elemental elves was solved, Ren Qi would be able to obtain the resources in the forest ahead.
Previously, Cyril’s investigation had revealed that there were many dark creatures in the forest ahead. It could become a new hunting ground in the succubus territory.
Just as Ren Qi was considering how to attack the Elemental Elves, a message appeared in the cloud private chat group.
Zhao Yuheng: “Everyone should have already seen the news of the monster faction attacking the new lord’s territory in the chat group, right?”
Li Tianlan: “Yes, it seems that many of the new lord’s territories have been attacked.”
Bel Hermione: “My side has also been attacked by the monster faction. It’s a Tier 8 wind dragon, and the leader is a Tier 9 dragon. However, they didn’t fight to the death. When they saw that they couldn’t break through my territory in a short time, they retreated.”
“It’s really strange. I feel that these wind dragons seem to have some hatred toward me, but it’s not too deep. I don’t think I provoked them.”
Ren Qi was a little embarrassed when he saw what Bel Hermione said. Could it be that when they cooperated, he was wearing the silver leaf wind dragon armor, which made Bel Hermione contaminated with the aura of the Silver Leaf Wind Dragon Armor?
However, what did this wind dragon have to do with the silver leaf wind dragon armor.
Hermione said, “Oh, that’s right. That Tier 9 wind dragon turned into a silver leaf wind dragon. It must have mutated when it used the power of the Holy Stone to break through to the next tier.”
Ren Qi looked at it. Oh, it matched.
The Holy Stone could increase the levels of monsters and soldiers. This was no longer a secret in the cloud.
For most of the upgrades, it would only increase their levels and their strength would be stronger. However, there would also be situations where they would mutate.
For example, a wind dragon would turn into a silver-leaf wind dragon, or Ren Qi’s succubus might turn into a death plague succubus or a war-killing succubus.
Compared to the mutation caused by the Holy Stone, Ren Qi’s mutated succubus had a much higher chance of evolving.
However, those who had already mutated into a death plague succubus or used a special succubus like a succubus would basically not undergo any more mutations.
Speaking of which, Elise had always been an ordinary mutated succubus. She was very powerful in all aspects. It was unknown if she would undergo any mutations after breaking through to the saint-level.
Tian Jizi said, “If it wasn’t for the cloud water flood dragon that was destroyed previously, I reckon that they would have attacked my territory as well.”
Xuan Ming said, “From the current situation, when the black fog mutated previously, we were quietly observing the changes. The monster forces that had just appeared in the new terrain were also quietly observing the changes.”
“Now that they have some understanding, they have started to attack the new lord territories around them.”
Zhao Yuheng: “That’s right, this will be another reshuffle. The weaker new lord territories will be swallowed by the monster forces.”
“And the stronger new lord territories can use their own strength to counterattack these monster forces and increase the strength of their own territories faster.”
Luo Ming: “The law of the jungle is really cruel.”
Ren Qi: “Everyone, be careful. If there are new monsters around the territory, try to destroy them as soon as possible if there is not much difference in strength.”
“I have a hunch that if we act decisively, the strength of these monster forces might soar.”
This was not Ren Qi’s dangerous overstatement, but a conjecture made after the incident with the elemental elves.
After all, the elemental sprite might have been suppressed by something, and its strength had weakened quite a bit. The other monster forces might also have such a situation.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally best to destroy the monster forces around the territory as soon as possible.
Zhao Yuheng said, “Ren Qi is right. If you can destroy the new monster forces around the territory, you must destroy them as soon as possible to ensure the safety of your territory to the greatest extent.”
“If you feel that it’s troublesome, you can ask for help in the cloud. We can all help each other.”
The others all agreed.
Ren Qi looked at the message in the chat group and smiled.
Although everyone said so, they would try it out first. If they could destroy the monster faction alone, no one would ask for help, after all, that would mean sharing the resources equally with the other members.
After two collaborations, although the cloud members’ tacit understanding had increased a lot, it also let them know how fertile the new monster faction was.
If they could eat a new monster faction by themselves, then they could easily double the territory’s resources.
No one could resist such a temptation.
Hence, the members of the cloud faction would try it out individually. If they could not, they would first cooperate with the new lord that they were close to.
For example, Tian Jizi or Xuan Ming would choose to seek help from Zhao Yuheng first, while Li Tianlan would choose to seek help from Ren Qi first.
These were all things that could not be blamed.
A day passed quickly. When night fell, Elise returned with her hunting party. The hunt today was also very fruitful.
After the mutation of the Black Fog, the number of monsters in the black fog forest had increased by a lot.
Especially when they went deep into the black fog forest, there were many monsters from the High Street.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Ren Qi looked at Elise and said softly. Then, he let her eat the demon meat of the cloud-water flood dragon and used the power of the Pure Holy Stone to improve her foundation.
After everything was done, Ren Qi called Elise to his side and told Elise the secret method to attack the elemental elves and increase her strength to half-step Saint-tier.
