Chapter 969 - 554: Zong Shen: Cheating Is Really Sweet! [Requesting Monthly Tickets] [5K]

Pour this lake water over the Flame Demon Boss to cool it down.

It can maintain a cooling effect for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, it can also cool the lava in those cracks.

This allows Zong Shen to attack in close combat with peace of mind, without being scorched by high temperatures.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen ordered the Summoned Warriors to continue their attack.

As Summoned Warriors, they are fearless of heat and do not fear death.

They only loyally carry out Zong Shen’s commands.

Upon receiving clear orders, they initiated a close attack immediately.

Zong Shen could see tens of points of burn damage appearing atop the Summoned Warriors’ heads every second.

The temperature close to the Flame Demon Boss is very high.

The Summoned Warriors at this moment seemed to be attacking a furnace.

Zong Shen took a look and then returned to his original spot.

He ran again beside the Flying Tiger and mounted it directly.

His actions were observed by other Lords.

No one on site could act like Zong Shen, treating the vicinity of the Flame Demon Boss as an amusement park.

Moving freely back and forth.

Everyone held the Flame Demon Boss in awe, not daring to get too close.

Only Zong Shen was an exception.

Fortunately, everyone basically knew that he was the strongest among the regional Lords.

He might even be the strongest among all Universal Lords.

The previous two golden banner announcements had already made him the center of attention.

Moreover, they earned him substantial reputation.

Almost all the Lords implicitly acknowledged his strength.

Although, in reality, no one had actually witnessed his full combat prowess.

However, this didn’t prevent everyone from imagining it.

You must know that imagining is one of humanity’s innate instincts.

The imagined scenarios tend to be more exaggerated than the real ones.

Zong Shen didn’t care about how other Lords viewed him.

He was a very pragmatic person, uninterested in pretending for appearances.

Riding the Flying Tiger, he headed back the way he came.

Preparing to make a trip to Lake Heart Island.

In this period, more and more Lords began to gather here.

This was the situation Zong Shen hoped for.

He needed a large number of Lords to reduce the Flame Demon Boss’s blood volume.

At least reduce its Life Value below 40% before proceeding.

This target, relying solely on him and his warriors, would inevitably require much more time.

For this round today, Frost Magic Gemstones are definitely unusable.

However, with his old-time trump card, Zong Shen was still confident of taking down the Flame Demon Boss within 6 to 8 hours.

Anyway, the methods he couldn’t use, other Lords couldn’t use either.

Yet, today it seemed unlikely to achieve any special achievements or golden banner announcements.

But Zong Shen didn’t care.

As long as he could obtain points as usual.

The Flying Tiger’s flying speed was slightly slower than the Eagle.

But for Zong Shen, its speed was still considered fast.

The location of Lake Heart Island was more than 10 kilometers from his territory.

Riding the Flying Tiger from the location of the Flame Demon Boss, it took him only four or five minutes.

When the massive body of the Flying Tiger flew over Lake Heart Island.

Several Lords were arriving by the lakeside just then.

These Lords each brought a dozen warriors, gathering by the lakeside, seemingly collecting water.

Besides the most common Wolf Cavalry in the region.

These Lords also brought a significant number of Crossbowmen and Mages.

Ranged Warriors and Mages were all riding on Grassland Horses.

Among the Lords, Grassland Horses were also the most common mounts in the region.

Usually, during travels, the Warriors rode horses while farmers rode in carts and ox-drawn carriages.

If conditions allowed, very few would foolishly choose to march on foot.

Just walking from here to the location of the Flame Demon Boss would take at least several hours.

Moreover, during the journey, there would be fatigue, requiring rest and food replenishment.

These issues stemmed from traveling on foot.

Therefore, Grassland Horses had essentially become widespread.

If worse comes to worst, getting a few Grassland Oxen to pull carts would be more efficient than walking.

As for the sources of Grassland Horses, there were many ways.

In the villages of Indigenous People, there were villages that raised a large number of horses.

For example, when Zong Shen was traveling to Boss Bang, he encountered a village that specialized in horse-rearing as its primary livestock business.

The main livestock industry of the Sitanos Village was raising cattle and sheep.

While that village relied mainly on raising horses.

But whether the Lords obtained their horses through purchase or plunder, no one knows.

Normally, a single ordinary Grassland Horse could accommodate two riders.

So, at this current stage, a territory only needed five or six Grassland Horses to meet travel demands.

If the number of horses was fewer, they could opt for the Grassland Horses to pull carts.

Decreasing speed, increasing load capacity.

In any case, it was much faster than walking.

At this moment, these Lords collecting water by the lakeside were preparing to head to the Flame Demon Boss battle site.

Coincidentally, they ran into Zong Shen, who came to store water by the lake.

When the massive figure of the Flying Tiger swept across the sky.

The Lords below were all very tense, even preparing their Ranged Warriors for an attack.

Only when they glanced up at the Flying Tiger hovering tens of meters above, preparing to land.

After simplified information appeared before their eyes, did they understand.

In their vision, the Flying Tiger’s information clearly read.

[Scorpion-tailed Tiger Leader]

[Overlord Level]

[Tamed War Beast of Lord Zong Shen 1999514]

Since the battle was within the region.

Zong Shen did not use the Guide Module to change his name information.

You should know, he had a understated alias named "Ma Huateng".
