Chapter 1088 - 593: Uses of the Unknown Beast Egg

Zong Shen disdainfully stepped on the key with his war boots, twisting his heel a few times.

Only after the key was covered in mud did he pick it up, draw out a blade of grass to wipe off the saliva-soaked dirt, and store it in the storage grid.

Its speed in killing the Little Flame Demon was even faster than Zong Shen had anticipated.

The armor spikes launched from the bone cavity at its tail dealt significant piercing damage, and coupled with its ability to fly, allowed it to quickly complete the kill and return to Zong Shen’s side.

The second to return was Necromancer Rasama.

With a gentle flick of her thumb, she tossed the Flame Demon Key to Zong Shen and stood silently to the side with her head lowered.

During the battle, she did not use powerful high-tier undead magic, as Zong Shen hadn’t heard much commotion.

She probably used the Quadruple Death Spirit Arrow or another undead magic with a shorter cooldown.

If she could fly as fast as the Flying Tiger, her kill speed might have exceeded that of the Flying Tiger alone.

But it was nothing compared to the Beast Egg, which could directly devour magic elements.

Zong Shen observed, advanced, launched a probing attack, and threw the Beast Egg.

The entire process took just about two to three minutes.

The Beast Egg took only a dozen seconds to completely drain the Little Flame Demon.

Nevertheless, the Flying Tiger and Rasama could still complete the kill in almost the same time.

This was enough to show that ranged attacks indeed had better effects on the Little Flame Demon.

About half a minute after Rasama returned, the Blood Wolf Gujate, entrusted with high hopes by Zong Shen, finally returned to his side belatedly.

Its battle armor remained pristine, with the extraterrestrial star alloy having unique properties.

The Little Flame Demon’s Blazing Realm couldn’t leave any mark on the armor surface.

Gujate was also silent, nodding to Zong Shen, handing him the Flame Demon Key.

Then he stood behind, pretending nothing had happened.

This guy’s attack efficiency was slower than Zong Shen had expected.

However, he was unaware that during the battle, Gujate did not focus entirely on attacking.

Instead, he continuously tested various physical and chemical properties of the Little Flame Demon.

In his understanding and worldview, there was no concept of "magic creatures" or "elemental creatures."

All creatures beyond the Iron Blood Warriors were classified as extraterrestrial beings.

Under such a cognitive condition, Blood Wolf Gujate’s curiosity was almost bursting.

Its Iron Blood Armor did not fear typical high temperatures, and even if using wrist blades or bone spears aggressively, it could quickly defeat the Little Flame Demon.

However, to satisfy his curiosity, he deliberately slowed down his attack pace and tried various attacks, deriving many interesting conclusions from the Little Flame Demon!

As the team regrouped, excluding the temporary combat squad’s gains, just the three of them along with the Flying Tiger secured 4 Flame Demon Keys in this wave.

In this light, the small goal of 1250 Flame Demon Keys shouldn’t be difficult.

If he were more diligent, leading the Beast Egg to battle all night, the harvest could be much greater.

With the Beast Egg’s elemental absorption capability, the Flying Tiger’s mobility, and the guide module’s precise targeting of Little Flame Demons, even after the temporary combat squads returned to the territory, he alone could continuously eliminate quite a few Little Flame Demons.

Having a reliable countermeasure made Zong Shen’s enthusiasm rise.

Let’s go to the next stop!

Zong Shen climbed to the back of the Flying Tiger’s neck.

Rasama and Gujate also returned to the Flying Tiger’s back.

Under his command, the Flying Tiger flapped its wings and flew north!

...

Meanwhile, in Zong Shen’s territory, one temporary combat squad after another was ready to set out.

Under Luna’s overall arrangement, they headed out to different directions one after another.

The two high-tier cavalry corps and Favide’s Lion Skeleton Knight Assault Team were the first to leave the territory.

From a high-altitude view, these temporary combat squads looked like black lines drawn by pen tips, slowly yet steadily heading to various directions.

The number of Territory Warriors was large.

Completing reasonable group compositions and arranging expedition plans was quite a task.

When Wenresa was not in the territory, Luna became the mainstay of the combat heroes.

Thus, the current territory’s combat heroes, with Luna at the core and Korby and Doris supporting, were organizing all the warriors.

They were assembling warriors of all tiers and classes into reasonably composed squads.

This included those self-trained warriors inherited from unclaimed territories.

The composition of warrior units within the territory was rather complex, covering all tiers and classes.

Therefore, to disassemble and reassemble them into temporary teams with the capability of quickly eliminating Little Flame Demons required effort.

Zong Shen only performed a rough deployment, delegating the most complex and challenging tasks to Luna and the others.

This was considered a form of training for them.

Based on the current pace of team arrangement, it would take at least another half hour to complete.

The current situation is also a preview of future expeditions.

Especially as the number of subjects increases, any large-scale mobilization will become exceedingly cumbersome.

It won’t be as convenient and fast as previous small team expeditions.

That’s why Zong Shen is determined to establish an administration hall and military command department.

Aside from searching for more Heroic Level talents and building a large Heroic Command Node.

He also needs to establish more efficient administrative and command agencies.

These are all preemptive actions taken by Zong Shen.

They are also issues that every lord must face once they reach a certain stage of development.

Solving these problems early can maintain rapid territory development to the greatest extent.

The development strategy prepared by Zong Shen now is the issue that most middle-stream lords will need to confront a year and a half later.

The construction and development of the territory is a long journey.

Zong Shen is merely moving faster than others.
