Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

Chapter 234: Chapter 124: Intelligence Update, Opportunity to Return to Lorand City, Ingenious Use of the Mosquito Queen

But unknowingly, he had accumulated a substantial estate and established a firm foothold in the wilderness.

I wonder how many of the lords who ventured into the wilderness with him are still alive now?

Once these matters at hand are dealt with, I should make a trip back to Lorand City.

At that time, I can also see how to develop trade.

If the territory wants to develop, foreign trade is an essential path.

Although Weilu City seems peaceful now, it’s lacking in everything.

In these days, we need to accumulate more equipment and weapons…

The last piece, 3 Stars value.

After reading it, Lear immediately became excited.

He was just wondering how to utilize the hero talent with limitless potential of the Great Demon.

Unexpectedly, the intelligence system provided the optimal solution in the blink of an eye.

Mosquito Queen!

The 13th-level hero unit he had imprisoned is still not awake.

Previously, the blood essence of the Mosquito Queen was needed to extend the life of the Mire Wasp.

But with the Queen Bee transforming into a half-undead, and the Mire Wasps turning into Crimson Wasps, the lifespan restriction no longer existed.

The Queen Bee can continuously hatch new wasps using her own power, unconcerned about losses.

And the unique product of blood essence requires the other party to devour flesh and blood to produce.

Lately, corpses were needed in various aspects, and he hadn’t had time to pay attention, which made the Mosquito Queen seem nonexistent.

She’s just been imprisoned by the Ancient Treant Guardian, previously the Swamp Treant.

Unexpectedly, she can still be utilized now.

Lear felt a little better.

Overall, this intelligence update was rather ordinary, but the information about the Mosquito Queen was of great help to him.

With a stable blood supply, the Great Demon can fully exploit its attack advantage without restraint.

This is of extraordinary significance to these Level 15 heroes.

Unable to contain his excitement, he immediately got up and left the room.

Taking the Great Demon guarding the City Hall, he arrived in the central area, in front of the towering 10 Ancient Treant Guardians.

Although the territory had expanded considerably, he still arranged for the 10 Ancient Treant Guardians to guard the original spot.

Firstly, to protect the City Hall, the core building, and secondly, so that if enemies came from other directions, the central area could provide the fastest support.

The third reason was for convenience in storing treasures.

The Horn of Fertility was right under the roots of the Ancient Treant Guardians.

This treasure, more precious than a divine artifact, could only be effective if placed in the territory, and he could only rest assured if it was guarded.

Imprisoning the Mosquito Queen was just an incidental matter.

“My lord…”

The slow, deep voice of the Ancient Treant Guardian sounded.

Lear didn’t waste words and directly said.

“Bring out the Mosquito Queen.”

The Ancient Treant Guardian in front of him immediately nodded, its trunk swaying, and the roots below slowly wriggled, pushing up a cocoon wrapped in roots.

The roots unfolded to the sides, exposing the Mosquito Queen to the air.

With a concentrated gaze,

This Level 13 hero was currently penetrated entirely by roots, all of her energy controlled by the Ancient Treant Guardian.

As soon as she regained any energy, it would be consumed immediately.

To maintain her stable status, preventing any surprises.

Lear said softly.

“From now on, there is no need to devour the Mosquito Queen’s power.”

“But your roots need to remain controlling her consciousness… don’t pull out.”

“As long as the roots do not leave her consciousness, she won’t regain awareness.”

The Ancient Treant Guardian immediately complied, slowly withdrawing the roots penetrating the Mosquito Queen.

With the roots leaving her body, the Mosquito Queen’s aura immediately began to recover.

The scars on her body vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In no time, her aura had stabilized.

Perfectly showcasing the recovery abilities of a high-level hero.

Seeing this, Lear turned to look at the Great Demon beside him.

“Take 5 Bubble Beasts and go to the Land of Crimson Rot to fetch 1000 Demon corpses.”

He had left some as a backup, with 5000 corpses still hidden in the Land of Crimson Rot when he exited the relic.

In case of any urgent need.

Now the timing was just right.

The Great Demon immediately flapped its wings and left to find the Bubble Beasts.

Before long, bubbles filled with corpses were seen flying over.

Lear took no further action, instructing the little creatures to pile the corpses in front of the Mosquito Queen.

The Ancient Treant Guardian skillfully manipulated her, using sharp mouthparts to pierce the demon corpses.

Chh—

The mouthparts quickly secreted a mucus capable of dissolving flesh, and soon the corpses melted into blood, then devoured completely.

After absorbing the surging energy, the Mosquito Queen’s body quickly recovered.

After consecutively consuming 30 Demon corpses, the Mosquito Queen’s aura had returned to its peak.

The Life Energy contained within a Level 10 Fallen Demon was considerable.

The Ancient Treant Guardian did not stop, continuing the devouring.

With ample blood and flesh feeding, the Mosquito Queen’s energy began to overflow, and her abdomen slowly wriggled, starting to produce blood essence.

Once the Ancient Treant Guardian was no longer controlling her body, the Mosquito Queen made new movements.

Her body, driven by instinct, clasped the blood essence at her abdomen, bringing it to her mouth to dab with saliva, expertly adhering it to her body.

The motions seemed repeated countless times.

Blood essence gradually increased, and the Mosquito Queen completely covered herself with blood essence.

Just as Lear wondered how she could form a blood cocoon, a faint blood-colored energy emanated.

Those new blood essence seemed like budding sprouts, emerging from within.

While devouring, the blood essence increased concurrently.

In the end, a massive blood cocoon was suspended in midair, exposing a sharp mouthpart, with no trace of the Mosquito Queen’s figure.

Upon blood cocoon formation, its life energy became so intense that it left Lear in awe.

Transforming thousands of Level 10 Demon corpses entirely into blood essence—a colossal power!

Seeing this, Lear wasn’t in a hurry to stop, ordering another two thousand corpses for the Mosquito Queen to devour.

He also wanted to see the extent of her limits.

As the massive influx of flesh and blood energy poured in, the size of the blood-colored cocoon stopped expanding once it reached a certain scale.

But its color changed, shifting from a bright red to dark red, and finally the surface gradually revealed a silvery sheen.

The energy contained therein grew increasingly terrifying.

Blood essence… can it continue to advance to a higher level?

Lear’s gaze was filled with delight.

This indicated that her Life Energy would become even more abundant!

Once the two thousand corpses were entirely consumed, the surrounding blood essence had completely transformed into a mixture of dark red and light silver.

At the very core, even hints of golden light appeared.

Three thousand Demon corpses, stacked on the ground, would be a small mountain.

Now all transformed into blood essence around the Mosquito Queen.

The Life Energy it contained, like a volcanic eruption, was vigorous and abundant.

Watching it made Lear’s spirits soar.

No wonder it was 3 Stars intelligence! Damn precise!

This is a super blood reservoir!

Enough to support 7 Great Demons with ease!

He immediately called all the Great Demons, instructing them to use the Abyssal Curse to bind the Mosquito Queen!

We haven’t even reached the Mosquito Queen’s limit. If we keep feeding her corpses, I dare not imagine her Life Energy reaching unimaginable levels!

The Great Demons immediately followed orders, taking a step forward, coming before the Mosquito Queen.

The aura around them began to surge as the wings flapped, approaching the blood cocoon as if to embrace it.

They unfurled their wings, revealing a host of jagged, feral mystic symbols, all directed at the heart of the cocoon.

Those symbols pulsed with an arcane incandescence, like wild, undulating lightning behind a darkened veil.

The entire collective, from hushed stillness, moved in unison—twelve arms expanded forth, releasing streams of raw power into the air.

The amalgamation whirled into a fierce tempest, the energies visible, ebbing and flowing around the cocoon, tightening like ghostly chains upon the Mosquito Queen, binding every fiber of her being with their ethereal might.

This… was the essence of the dark magic, the curse of the deep abyss, leaving itself perpetually scored into the very sinews of her soul.

Despite the darkness of their task, the Great Demons continued unwaveringly, driven by their innate thirst for devastation, savoring the anticipation of power that they too would share, drawn from the Mosquito Queen’s augmented life essence.

The curse, ardent and raw, nestled into the core of her being. The Great Demons took what they needed, an eruption of spectral manifestations shaped like runes slithering across her form, an intricate lace of symbols each alive with purpose.

At this pivotal moment, the spell was complete. A triumph declared in the unnatural hush that followed.

Even now, as the Mosquito Queen remained suspended in her crimson cocoon, the silent promise of her potential surged on, a promise that the Great Demons were hastily securing.

The surrounding aura brightened into a vivid tapestry of bloody red and ghostly silver, illuminating the grove with a ghostly vitality that made even Lear wonder at its implications.

Yet he stood firm, his resolve only deepening, for every second crawled closer to a strategic crescendo that would see Lorand expand, a stronghold bolstered by the relics it now harbored and the forces it commanded.

A glorified constellation, this 3-star Mosquito Queen would be the key to unlocking fortunes and securing the territory’s future.

Awaiting that moment, the Great Demons reveled in the grim satisfaction of completing their dark task.

With the Abyssal Curse now etched into the Mosquito Queen’s very being, the stage was set for a revival the Wilderness would never forget— for the great expansion, relentless and inevitable, rooted now in the dense power of an ancient, resurgent hero.
