Images in the chat channel updated one after another, like stones smashing into a lake, stirring up surging waves.
“Damn, are dragons that fierce? Twenty of them annihilated tens of thousands of Undead Army units?”
“This Undead Army, if placed on Blue Star, would be a city-destroying disaster, yet it was completely wiped out in less than an hour! Too terrifying!”
“Those mysterious troops and dragons just now were clearly from the same faction. What kind of Lord’s army is that! Go, go, follow them and see.”
“Hiss… I suddenly thought of a possibility! You guys, could it be Lin Yi???”
“Holy crap! Brother, I didn’t even realize until you said it! Since Lin Yi can crusade against World Bosses, it’s reasonable for him to have such strength.”
“I just said those mysterious troops looked exactly like human soldiers. Lin Yi is too strong.”
“That’s not right, how do you explain those dragons? One or two might be tamed, but that’s nearly twenty of them!”
“Did you forget that Lin Yi obtained a random alien race lair before? What if it was a dragon lair???”
“Stop arguing! The Undead Lord’s total defeat is good for us. The trial barrier is about to be lifted. Let’s seriously consider how to survive next!”
“…Seeking main profession transfer scrolls.”
“……”
Deep within the Monster Mountain Range.
Hao Xingren repeatedly checked the images in the channel, his heart still deeply shaken!
He had thought that the army Lin Yi used to kill the World Boss yesterday was his entire main force.
He never expected.
The other party actually had a complete dragon squad!
And.
Other Lords only saw the spectacular scene of the dragons’ collective breath, but overlooked the equally powerful ground forces.
That single strike that pierced through the entire undead battlefield.
It was no different from the skill the female hero used yesterday!
It must have been her leading those spearmen to entangle with the Undead Army.
With cavalry support, even without dragons, Hao Xingren believed it was only a matter of time before the ground forces routed the Undead Army.
“Lin Yi is too strong!”
“I must cling to his coattails!”
Suddenly, a groan came from the wooden bed beside Hao Xingren.
The villager, who had fallen unconscious after dripping blood to recognize the Storage Ring as his master, finally woke up!
Hao Xingren quickly asked, “9527, are you feeling better?”
“You… who are you…?”
A barely perceptible glint flashed in 9527’s eyes, then he showed a hint of confusion, saying, “Lord… Lord, what happened to me?”
“Here, drink some porridge first!”
Hao Xingren was delighted. He slowly helped the other party up from the wooden bed and personally handed over a bowl of lean meat porridge, “Fill your stomach, then really feel what changes have happened to you!”
As he spoke.
He took out the ring he found in the ruins, “Try to open it! Take out everything inside.”
“Changes, huh.”
9527 took the porridge bowl but didn’t drink. He just quietly looked at the ring in the former’s hand, his expression indifferent.
“I’ll try to open it.”
……
Clatter.
After writing the last character, Long Tao let out a sigh of relief and slapped the quill pen onto the desk.
“These should be all the steps for improving the black water rice through grafting.”
“Fortunately, I’ve farmed for hundreds of years. Other reincarnators really wouldn’t remember this.”
“Bah, bah, bah! Damn, what nonsense am I talking!”
Long Tao stretched, took a small sip from his water cup, and unhurriedly opened the chat channel.
After all this time.
The Undead Army should have pushed to Lin Yi’s doorstep by now, right?
How exciting!
He was about to scroll the chat history to the very beginning, preparing to enjoy the entire process of Lin Yi’s demise.
“Lin Yi is so awesome! He annihilated the entire Undead Army! I beg for patronage!”
Pfft—
Tea splattered, and the content the Lords were hotly discussing instantly stunned Long Tao!
What the heck?
Annihilated the Undead Army?
Did you eat the wrong mushrooms, or am I not awake??
Long Tao sat up straight with a jolt and quickly scrolled through the channel’s chat history.
The further he read, the more shocked he became!
His chubby cheeks were soon covered in fine beads of sweat.
“What the hell are these dragons? Did he really obtain a dragon lair???”
“Even if he has dragons! But what about that strange ground force of yours…?”
“Three hundred against thirty thousand.”
“And they can still maintain high morale…”
“Haha, hahahaha.”
“Damn it!”
Long Tao’s body went limp, and he lay weakly on the chair, suddenly feeling that the world was incredibly absurd.
That was a Lich!
The unique nature of the Undead made them a top-tier race among second-tier civilizations!
They went all out but didn’t even see Lin Yi’s home before being ambushed and completely wiped out midway.
Anyone who didn’t know would think the two of them were in cahoots, deliberately farming experience.
“Darn it!”
The yellow paper, its ink not yet dry, was crumpled into a ball by Long Tao.
Purchasing high-tier slaves had territory level restrictions.
According to the current trend, he could no longer catch up to Lin Yi’s pace in terms of military strength.
“Poisoning can be a long-term plan.”
“For the near future…”
Seeing the countdown for the trial barrier’s removal, Long Tao’s eyes, narrowed to slits, grew increasingly bright.
“Such a terrifying growth rate for a low-level civilization is clearly abnormal!”
“Those young Lords from high-level civilizations must be very interested!”
“A second-tier civilization Lich can’t deal with you.”
“I don’t believe you can defeat a third-tier civilization Lord!”
Although Long Tao didn’t know much about third-tier civilizations.
But the Lich, who had just suffered a crushing defeat, surely knew more than him!
“I wonder if he’s dead…”
Long Tao muttered, taking out the bone fragment used to contact the Lich from the drawer.
…
Edge of the Monster Mountain Range.
The human mage Roer held his magic staff horizontally, facing the situation as if confronting a formidable enemy alongside dozens of Blood Guards, staring intently at the bloody mess beneath the statue.
The anomaly had continued from last night until now.
Initially, it was just a small puddle of blood, but now it had transformed into a blood cocoon.
If it weren’t for its shared aura with the Blood Guards, Roer would have cleaned it up immediately.
“Lin Yi…”
“Lin Yi!!”
“I’ll kill you! I’m going to kill you!!”
Suddenly, an angry roar came from the mass of flesh.
Under everyone’s horrified gaze.
A terrifying, skinless, crimson head squeezed out of the blood cocoon.
Blood flowed from its mouth, and its eyeless eyeballs darted around, making one’s hair stand on end.
The grotesque creature laboriously tore open the blood cocoon, its body’s muscle tissue continuously wriggling.
Only when its red feet touched the ground did it growl, “Roer, come with me to the Lord’s Hall.”
“You… you are…”
Roer’s body trembled, looking in disbelief as the other party gradually grew an outer layer of skin, “Are you the Lord?”
“Otherwise?”
Xia Jie retorted, abruptly raising his right wrist, which had already recovered completely.
Seeing the bloodline mark that was once branded gone, an uncontrollable surge of rage instantly erupted from his heart!
With Alex’s help, he had revived!
But the cost was the permanent loss of his royal bloodline!
This meant that the position he had yearned for since childhood was now completely out of his reach, with no possibility of contention!
The root of everything was that commoner named Lin Yi!
“From today onwards, you and I shall be mortal enemies, until death!”
