Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate - Chapter 241 - 239: Demon Outbreak
Chapter 241: Chapter 239: Demon Outbreak
When the mutation of the new species was completed, it was already past noon.
With half a day left, Lin You spent hundreds of thousands of Magic Energy to replenish the lost species gap, and then went to the SSS-level Secret Realm twice.
For these two entries into the Secret Realm, the admission fee directly increased to 1.5 million Magic Energy.
Unfortunately, it seemed that his luck had run out, as both times he cleared the Secret Realm he only received a guaranteed Experience Ball and a 0.1% Origin Progress.
Not even a Species Token was given.
It was incredibly stingy.
However, after two trips to the Secret Realm, deducting the entrance fee and species losses, he still earned 1.5 million Magic Energy, so it wasn’t a loss.
“Forget it, let’s go back and buy some food first.”
Glancing at the sun slowly setting in the west, Lin You gave up the idea of continuing to clear the Secret Realm.
He directly teleported back to his territory and had Xue Changgui begin dealing with purchasing food from surrounding cities.
“Lord, regarding the matter of food, I already arranged for people to prepare it yesterday.”
Xue Changgui stood beside Lin You, speaking respectfully.
“Oh? It’s already done?” Lin You was slightly surprised.
He didn’t expect Xue Changgui to act so quickly.
“Yes, it’s basically ready, and several granaries have been expanded, just waiting for the purchased food to be transported over.”
“Hmm, well done.”
Lin You nodded in satisfaction.
He had a lot of trust in Xue Changgui’s capabilities.
For matters like these, he didn’t even need to say much, and it was already well prepared, alleviating a lot of his worries.
After pondering briefly, he asked, “How about the Cultivators, how’s the recent situation? Has there been any trouble with the increased number of people?”
“There were a few instances of Cultivators fighting in the city the day before yesterday, but with Elder Yue there, everything has been resolved.”
“Good that it’s resolved, go take care of your tasks, report to me if anything comes up.”
“Then, Lord, I take my leave.”
Xue Changgui bowed respectfully and turned to leave immediately.
Lin You also continued to busy himself within the territory.
…
The next morning.
Lin You left the territory early.
He first visited the Dwarf Tribe to collect the Tier Nine Equipment crafted by Mageon, then teleported through the Secret Realm Gate to the Holy Sanctuary.
To his surprise.
Today’s Secret Sanctuary seemed far more tense than usual.
Even though it was just morning, the streets were already crowded with a large number of passing lords and cultivators.
Even those from the Sect Academy appeared in teams, gathering towards the largest Floating Platform at the center, in a stance of readiness.
Could it be that the Demon riot is coming?
Lin You’s heart trembled.
As if responding to his thoughts, several lords engaged in anxious conversation passed him by.
“I heard that last night, the Aura of Chaos on the Main Plane suddenly intensified.”
“So fast? Could it be that the Demon riot is happening again?”
“It should be, many factions have already rushed over.”
“Then we should hurry over as well; it’s said that many Leader Demons will appear during the Demon riot, it’s a great opportunity to earn Origin.”
The people conversing were all Tier Eight lords.
They were naturally very confident in their own strength.
As long as they didn’t encounter Tier Ten Demons, there wouldn’t be much danger for them.
Moreover, with so many people gathered on the Floating Platform, a bit of caution would suffice.
But Tier Seven was different.
One misstep, and they could be wiped out by Tier Eight and Nine Demons.
Hence, it was rare to see Tier Seven lords joining in the fun.
Many even rushed back to their territories after receiving the news, avoiding this turbulent situation.
“Interesting.”
Lin You squinted his eyes.
As he saw figures continuously converging from all directions onto the gigantic Floating Platform, he also quickly mounted the Demon King Dragon and left the platform, flying toward the lower city area.
Soon, he arrived in front of the Shifang Pavilion, landing on the open space in front of the shop.
The rushing wind caused Lu Zhenxing, who was busy accounting, to hastily run out of the shop.
“So it’s Young Master Lin, I’ve been expecting you for a while.”
Lu Zhenxing gave a surprised look at the Demon King Dragon beneath Lin You before greeting him with a smile.
“As agreed, I brought the crafted equipment over to you.”
Lin You flipped off the back of the Demon King Dragon and summoned it back to his territory.
“You’ve crafted it so quickly?”
Lu Zhenxing’s eyes lit up.
An ordinary blacksmith typically takes at least three days to craft Tier Nine Equipment.
It had only been two days since Lin You took the materials from him.
He began to believe a bit more in Lin You’s claim about having Dwarves.
Then.
The two of them passed through the shop under the curious gaze of a few customers, entering the inner hall to start discussing the equipment.
As soon as they sat down, Lin You took out a slender Long Sword, as light as a feather, from his personal space and handed it to Lu Zhenxing.
[Equipment Name: Feather Dance]
[Equipment Level: Tier Nine]
[Traits 1: The sword is lightweight, imbued with Wind Attribute, increasing sword swing speed by 20%]
[Traits 2: Attacks inflict an additional 20% Wind Attribute damage.]
[Extra: Unenchant]
[Introduction: Crafted from Tier Nine Feather Tail Feathers, the sword is lightweight and can easily tear through the air.]
“A great piece of equipment!”
Lu Zhenxing couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration as he received the equipment.
As a cultivator, having successfully communicated with the gods, he could naturally see the information about this weapon.
When he saw that this weapon possessed an ability superior to other weapons, he was greatly shocked, and even somewhat excited.
If this weapon were to be sold, it would definitely be highly contested by those Lord Cultivators.
If there are enough of them, it’s not impossible to pull in a batch of customers from the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower!
The craftsmanship of this weapon is so superb that it’s the best he has seen in his life. Human blacksmiths could never reach such a level.
Only the Dwarf Race, renowned for being born for forging, could achieve this.
Which means…
Lin You really has Dwarf Artisans working for him!
Just thinking about Lin You mentioning his Dwarves could help forge Tier Ten Equipment made Lu Zhenxing’s heart tremble.
No more hesitating, he immediately said, “This indeed is the work of Dwarves. If Young Master Lin doesn’t mind, shall we start discussing cooperation now?”
“Of course,” Lin You smiled slightly.
Soon after, the two began discussing in the living room.
It took more than half an hour to finally reach an agreement.
Shifang Pavilion will provide materials and channels, Lin You will provide the crafting, profits will be split fifty-fifty, anything above Tier Ten will be separately calculated.
Lin You was very satisfied with this result.
After all, he only needed to provide labor.
While Shifang Pavilion had to provide the cost of materials, as well as various manpower and connections.
Of course,
Tier Ten Equipment is different.
This extremely rare item, the technology for which is mastered by Lin You’s side, must be largely controlled by him.
Shifang Pavilion urgently needed a piece of Tier Ten Equipment to suppress Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, so they didn’t make many demands.
They simply requested 20% of the profit to cover their expenses while providing materials.
Thus,
the cooperation between Lin You and Shifang Pavilion was successfully achieved.
Taking the Tier Ten materials received from Lu Zhenxing, Lin You quickly left the shop and hurried towards the Floating Islands.
It was already mid-morning.
The streets near the Floating Islands were fully armed, with many Tier Eight and Nine experts appearing, and vendors taking a stroll had significantly reduced.
Anyone with a discerning eye could feel the difference in atmosphere.
And just as Lin You was halfway there,
from the distant high sky came a sudden “boom” sound.
The entire sky, including the Floating Islands, shook violently.
“What’s going on? Is it an earthquake?”
“It seems like the Demon outbreak has started from the Central Island!”
“Has it started so quickly? It’s not even noon yet.”
“Quick, let’s leave here, don’t get involved.”
“Wait for me!”
The crowd on the street was exclaiming in panic and scattered to flee.
Some powerful ones hurried towards the Floating Island.
Lin You directly rode on the Demon King Dragon and followed them, reaching the sky above the islands in no time.
Sure enough.
The crack connecting to the Main Demon Plane had collapsed, shattering into a gaping void.
Accompanied by earth-shattering roars, countless Demons poured out from it.
The Lord Cultivators guarding outside issued orders, shooting forward boldly.
“Kill!!”
Instantly, shouts and cries of kill echoed in unison, spreading from the platform to the sky.
Lin You even saw, within the crack, several enormous Ox Demons appearing, far exceeding Tier Eight, knocking large groups of species soaring.
“Leader Demon!”
Near Lin You, a Lord similarly riding a Flying Species exclaimed.
Meanwhile, as Lin You approached, the attributes of the Ox Demon caught his eye.
[Name: Crimson Fury Ox Demon (Leader)]
[Race: Wild Beast]
[Level: Tier Nine (B-level)]
[Power: 4500 (+2700)]
[Constitution: 4500 (+2700)]
[Agility: 3800 (+2280)]
[Spirit: 3800 (+2280)]
[Skills: Heavy Slash, Crimson Fury, Fierce Charge]
[Chaos: All Attributes increased by 60%]
[Introduction: A monster with a Bull-Headed Beast Body, renowned for its formidable power, far surpassing ordinary Ox Demons in overall strength.]
“B-level?”
Lin You was taken aback.
Even in the Main Plane, Demons are categorized based on Aura of Chaos infection degree like in the Secret Realm?
Merely at B-level, power and constitution have terrifyingly reached above seven thousand points.
That’s outrageous!
Thankfully, he had the foresight not to get too close.
With such insane attributes, even the Cyan Rattan at full strength couldn’t match.
Let alone the Big Cannon unleashed at full capacity, it’s barely equal, but killing it would be impossible.
Tier Nine Demons are truly terrifying.
No more thinking about it, Lin You immediately had the Demon King Dragon retreat from the central platform, flew to another nearby platform, and watched the chaotic battle among the High-tier Lords and Cultivators from a distance.
By now, the area surrounding the Central Island was completely thrown into chaos.
Numerous Demons continued charging from the crack, rushing in all directions, attempting to breach the Lords’ defensive lines and wreak havoc in the lower city.
The citizens in those cities were also hiding or fleeing, with even the street-side shops shutting down, not daring to show their faces.
However, Lin You did not leave immediately.
Though he couldn’t face Tier Nine Leader Demons, he could certainly handle Tier Eight, right?
And these small floating islands scattered around, aren’t they perfect as natural sniper spots?
