Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate - Chapter 390 - 387: Assassination
Safety warning?
Lin You was slightly surprised.
Generally, such warnings only appear when the overall difficulty of the current area exceeds the Lord Level.
That means.
The monsters in this area are at least Tier Eight and above.
Moreover, the probability of encountering a Tier Nine Lord is very high!
“Tier Nine huh…”
Lin You’s face was serious as he looked toward the dense forest outside the city gate.
This area is vastly different from the previous Land of the Dead; though there are many trees, the sun shines brightly.
Walking through it, one could still see rays of sunlight piercing through the gaps.
This results in lush foliage at the top, with equally peculiar plants growing beneath.
Lin You dared not be careless, and immediately summoned all species besides the Cyan Rattan, allowing the Demon Emperor Dragon and Demon Queen Dragon to fly through the canopy into the sky to scout.
The Ancient Tree Legion led by Cyan Gang spread out, forming a fan shape in front of the team to clear the path.
“Set off!”
With an order, the entire team began venturing into the forest, gradually leaving the Mechanical Empire behind.
However, Lin You was unaware.
Shortly after he left.
A figure quietly emerged inside a building near the city gate, staring deeply in the direction he disappeared.
…
“Swoosh!”
In the forest, a sound of air-breaking rang out.
Just after venturing not too far, Lin You immediately encountered a monster attack.
Dozens of shadows rushed out from the tree canopy in the distance, swiftly surrounding him.
Lin You’s eyes narrowed, immediately making out the shapes of the shadows, seeing they were half-human-height Ginseng Spirits.
[Name: Corrupted Ginseng Spirit (Ordinary)]
[Race: Plant]
[Level: Tier Nine (C-level)]
[Power: 4020 (+2010)]
[Constitution: 4200 (+2100)]
[Agility: 4280 (+2140)]
[Spirit: 4000 (+2000)]
[Skills: Earth Escape, Shadow Strike, Root Spike]
[Chaos: All Attributes increased by 50%]
[Introduction: A mutated spirit of a ginseng, possessing great escape ability and exceptional speed, prefers to appear in groups.]
This was merely the forest’s outer edge, yet Tier Nine monsters had already appeared.
And suddenly, dozens showed up, indeed the danger level was much higher than previous areas.
Typically, Tier Eight Lords have at most a few Tier Nine species.
Apart from some Lords with special means to enhance species strength, wouldn’t they have to flee on sight?
Fortunately, here it was only the outer area, the monsters’ chaosification degree was low, only reaching C-level.
Without hesitation, Lin You immediately commanded the plants to attack.
In an instant, a large number of vines shot out, passing through the gaps between the Ancient Tree Species, wrapping toward the incoming Ginseng Spirits.
Unexpectedly.
The foremost Ginseng Spirits’ figures flickered, easily evading the vine entanglement.
Then, their roots transformed into blades, slicing through the obstructing vines and continuing to charge at the team.
Such speed, hard to see with the naked eye.
“Attack!”
Lin You shouted to those around him.
In an instant, the Ancient Tree Army moved up, and the other rear output teams also joined the fray.
Massive attacks flew toward the front, landing among the Ginseng Spirit squad, triggering a series of violent explosions.
The most outstanding performance came from the Pea Shooter Legion.
Led by the Big Cannon, they directly wrapped around nearby tree trunks and branches, attacking from a high position, shooting a dense pea barrage from all directions, pushing the advancing Ginseng Spirits back.
This was precisely the rebound effect of the Destruction Dragon Flame Secret Treasure!
Additionally, after the Pea Shooters reached Tier Eight, the Pea Shooter skill also evolved into a double-shot phase.
Though unable to turn the Big Cannon’s Deadly Sniper into a double bullet, the ordinary flat shooting was exceptionally fierce.
Every strike released a string of Dragon Flame-wreathed pea bullets, defeating several Ginseng Spirits in no time.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a breaking-air sound echoed.
Lingxi, holding the Purple Orchid Staff, finally made a move, a sharp Wooden Thorn streaking violently, with a “poof,” pierced through a Ginseng Spirit attempting to pass the ancient tree defense line, striking it dead on the spot.
In the next second.
The Ginseng Spirit’s body suddenly blossomed with numerous violet flowers.
The corpse transformed into energy, emanating clusters of Violet bouquets, spreading in all directions, covering nearly a hundred meters instantly.
The passive effect of the Purple Orchid Staff.
Triggered!
Directly creating a Violet Garden at the location of the Ginseng Spirit’s corpse.
A few Ginseng Spirits, caught off guard, rushed into the garden, causing the entire garden to emit a strange glow.
Soon after, roots and violet flowers entangled upwards.
Unexpectedly generating flower vine monsters resembling the Ginseng Spirits within the garden.
[Name: Corrupted Ginseng Spirit (Replicated)]
[Race: Plant]
[Level: Tier Eight]
[Power: 3015]
[Constitution: 3155]
[Agility: 3210]
[Spirit: 3000]
[Skills: Earth Escape, Shadow Strike, Root Spike, Life and Death (when the replicated body is defeated, the enemy’s original body’s attributes decrease by 10%; when the enemy’s original body is defeated, the replicated body gains 10% of the original body’s attributes, until the Violet Garden disappears.)]
[Introduction: A replica of the Corrupted Ginseng Spirit, possessing the same abilities as the Ginseng Spirit, created by the Violet Garden.]
Since the Purple Orchid Staff was only Tier Eight, all replicated bodies could reach at most Tier Eight.
However, even so.
The replicated bodies still inherit half of the Ginseng Spirits’ attributes, exceeding 3000 points on average, and gained the Life and Death skill.
Lin You observed carefully.
The replicated bodies could not benefit from aura and skill bonuses, as they replicate the already aura-enhanced attributes.
Lin You was mentally prepared for this, so he didn’t feel concerned.
In just the blink of an eye.
The replica constructed of Violet and roots had already charged at the Ginseng Spirits who mistakenly wandered into the garden, launching a fierce attack.
After several exchanges, the replica, with lower attributes, was defeated.
Before dying, the violet on its body transformed into violet marks, attaching to the Ginseng Spirits, decreasing their attributes by around 5%.
“As expected…”
The replica’s Spirit was half that of the Ginseng Spirits.
And the Spiritual Attribute directly affected the power of Skills, immediately reducing the curse effect of Life and Death by half.
Even though Lin You had anticipated this result, he still felt a bit frustrated.
Cross-tier battles against Demons indeed put one at a disadvantage.
Unless the Spiritual Attribute reaches the requisite level, the full effect of Skills cannot be unleashed, otherwise, it will undoubtedly be significantly reduced.
This is probably one of the main reasons why higher tiers are so confident when facing lower tiers.
However, with the Skill testing complete, he did not waste any more time.
He directly gave the plants an order: “Alright, finish them all off.”
As the voice fell, Cyan Gang suddenly let out a roar, enveloping all the plants in a large swath of red light.
Under the 30% attribute boost from the Barbaric Roar, the plants’ attributes completely overpowered the Ginseng Spirits, swiftly concluding the battle by killing more than half of them.
[Killed Tier Nine Demon, gained 2525 points of Magic Energy.]
[Killed Tier Nine Demon, gained 2500 points of Magic Energy.]
[Killed Tier Nine Demon, gained 2514 points of Magic Energy.]
…
A series of notifications popped up, quickly accumulating nearly 100,000 Magic Energy.
The remaining dozens of Ginseng Spirits, seeing that the situation was bad, turned and fled, disappearing into the ground in no time.
The battle ended there.
“Go and devour the corpses, keep moving forward.”
He said to the Cannibal Flower Legion beside him, and then Lin You continued to lead the team to explore further.
And so.
The entire morning, he operated in the outer areas.
Because the deeper in, the higher the Chaos level of the Demons.
S-level attributes almost matched those of his Species, and many appeared in groups.
Once the number exceeds three hundred, it becomes very challenging to deal with.
It’s better not to take that risk.
Luckily, his fortune was good.
Approaching noon, he finally encountered a group of Tier Nine Cannibal Flower Demons.
Among them, there were even five Leader-level Cannibal Flowers!
[Name: Corrupt Cannibal Flower (Leader)]
[Race: Plant]
[Level: Tier Nine (B-level)]
[Power: 4360 (+2616)]
[Constitution: 4500 (+2700)]
[Agility: 4280 (+2568)]
[Spirit: 4330 (+2598)]
[Skills: Devouring, Corrosion of Earth, Earth Spike]
[Chaos: All Attributes +60%]
[Introduction: The leader of Cannibal Flowers, possessing stronger attributes than ordinary Cannibal Flowers, and capable of manipulating the earth.]
The attributes of the Tier Nine Leader were almost equivalent to Tier Eight Lord Demons.
Though killing them won’t yield Treasures, they can still grant Power of Origin.
Moreover.
They are not as rare as Lord Demons.
Definitely the best target for farming Power of Origin!
“Quick, clear out those Cannibal Flowers first!”
“Lingxi, block the rear.”
“Cyan Gang, Barbaric Roar!”
Lin You stood among the plant troops, continuously issuing commands to eliminate the surging Cannibal Flower Demons.
And at the instant Barbaric Roar was activated.
Shadowless vanished instantly, maneuvering near the five Cannibal Flower Leaders among the group, with a glint of cold light.
Shadow Killing Skill, engaged!
It teleported behind one of the Cannibal Flower Leaders, and with its spiked daggers, tore through the air with a sharp thrust.
“Psh!”
Green ink splattered.
The slender flower stem of the Cannibal Flower Leader was cleaved in half at the waist, its head rolling to the ground.
[Killed Tier Nine Corrupt Cannibal Flower (Leader), gained 100,000 Magic Energy.]
Right after.
With a loud bang, the Big Cannon joined the fray.
A bullet containing destructive power pierced through all the Cannibal Flower Demons in a straight line, finally exploding on another leader.
[Killed Tier Nine Corrupt Cannibal Flower (Leader), gained 100,000 Magic Energy.]
The two strongest individuals took action.
Instantly two leaders were down.
And what delighted Lin You immensely was.
The Magic Energy and Origin obtained from the Tier Nine Leaders were akin to those from Tier Eight Lord Demons, expanding his Origin Space by 20 meters in range.
Cross-tier monster killing is just too satisfying!
No more wasting words, seizing the remaining duration of the Barbaric Roar, he immediately issued the order to attack.
In less than five minutes, the battle was entirely concluded, all Cannibal Flowers decapitated, and the Origin Space expanded another 30 meters in range.
Then, several notifications suddenly sounded in Lin You’s mind, indicating that several species had gained full experience, momentarily stunning him.
“Already at full?”
He hurriedly opened the experience of his Species to check, finding indeed several had reached full value.
Even the rest had mostly surpassed 4000 points, just a step away from the full value.
This was all credited to cross-tier monster killing, granting 10 experience points per Demon, much faster than killing those of the same tier.
At this pace.
In no more than two days’ time, all species would reach full experience value, making him unable to suppress his joy.
However, at that moment.
A strong sense of crisis suddenly struck.
The spot where he stood abruptly, without warning, manifested a blood-colored array, enveloping him completely!
