Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate - Chapter 416 - 412: Fortune Favors the Bold
Early the next morning.
Lin You, as usual, headed into the Holy Sanctuary.
To his surprise, only after one night, news about the Realm Alliance had already come back.
“Haha, yesterday the Great Emperors of various realms went to the Realm Alliance together to apply pressure, making those guys not dare to make a sound.”
“I also heard it was said by high-tier lords in the Empire that they directly went to the Eternal Realm and Demon Origin Realm to demand an explanation.”
“Whoa, they’re so fierce? Those are among the Ten Great Realms.”
“What about the Ten Great Realms? This time the Holy Light Realm and Beast God Realm took the lead, they are not weaker than the Eternal Realm and Demon Origin Realm.”
“With so many Great Emperors watching, I guess the Realm Alliance won’t be able to stir up trouble anymore. Serves them right!”
On the Floating Islands, lords discussed animatedly, all talking about the Realm Alliance.
And this news seemed to have been spread from various Empires, almost becoming common knowledge.
Hearing their discussions, Lin You, who was somewhat worried, felt relieved.
According to his understanding, the sealing strength suppressing the terrifying presence in the Demon Plane requires Great Emperor Level or higher to shake.
Now, the Great Emperors with the Realm Alliance are under scrutiny, there’s no chance they can unlock those seals.
Which means.
They only need to guard against the mid-to-high-tier lords under the Realm Alliance to prevent them from causing incidents like the previous Sealing Arrays.
Understanding this, Lin You didn’t waste any more time and swiftly headed towards the entrance of the Plane.
“Lin You.”
Suddenly, a voice called out.
Lin You halted his steps and looked towards the source of the voice; it was Yan Lie and Situ Jian.
“It’s you guys, have you finished relocating your territory?”
Last time, Situ Jian had said he wanted to move his territory to Yan Lie’s Canglang Kingdom and then hurriedly left.
Now several days have passed, it should be almost done.
As expected.
When they came near him, Situ Jian smiled and said, “It’s pretty much done. We just need to gather some resources for construction, so I called this guy to help.”
He gestured to Yan Lie next to him.
“I’m telling you now, profits are split four-six. I get six, you get four.” Yan Lie pouted, appearing somewhat unwilling, probably hassled by Situ Jian during this time.
His disposition shows he dislikes trouble.
But for a friend, he’ll extend a helping hand. It’s just a case of tough words with a soft heart.
This is why Lin You is willing to befriend them.
As he was pondering.
Yan Lie already leaned over, making a cheeky expression and said, “Hey, Lin You, I’ve prepared the Tier Nine Materials, about that equipment we discussed… when can you help me with that?”
Since finding out Lin You had Dwarf Artisans capable of crafting Tier Nine Equipment, Yan Lie had been coveting it for quite a while.
For this, he even took several trips to the Nightmare Forest to hunt Tier Nine Demons, gathering materials.
Now, after finally running into Lin You, how could he let him go easily?
“Hand over the materials to me, I’ll have someone craft it when I return. Fifty sets might take a while.”
“No problem, as long as it’s done before the battlefield opens.”
Yan Lie chuckled happily, immediately opened the trade interface, and stuffed a bunch of Tier Nine Materials to Lin You.
Lin You glanced over briefly.
These materials are mostly shell-type, seems this guy wants to craft a batch of defensive equipment.
Without further thought, he directly stored them all in his personal space.
“By the way, Lin You, are you heading to the Nightmare Forest?” Situ Jian chimed in.
“Yep, I’m planning to go to the central area to seize the Origin Fruit.” Lin You didn’t hide it.
“Origin Fruit?” Yan Lie and Situ Jian paused, “That place has been quite chaotic recently. You better be careful.”
Evidently, they had heard about the Ancient Origin Tree.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be cautious.” Lin You smiled slightly, “What about you guys? Want to come along?”
“Probably not today.” Situ Jian shook his head, “We’re planning to head into the forest to hunt Tier Nine Demons and collect resources, don’t have time to do other stuff yet.”
“But since it’s on the way, let’s go together first.”
“Alright.”
With that, the three didn’t linger and set out together towards the Nightmare Forest.
On the way, they chatted about recent events, exchanged information, and so on.
It wasn’t until boarding the Mechanical Empire’s hovering train that Lin You suddenly remembered the Insect Type Skill Scroll he got from the Tier Eight Secret Realm and handed it to Situ Jian.
“This is… the Egg-Laying Skill Scroll!”
Seeing the scroll in Lin You’s hand, Situ Jian’s eyes instantly shone with excitement.
This extra skill is indeed highly attractive to Insect Types, even he couldn’t resist.
By using this scroll to cultivate an Insect Mother, he could have more Insect Species, maximizing the Insect Type’s advantages.
Because within the Insect Type, many skills are about group synergy.
The larger the group, the stronger the effect.
So naturally, the more the better.
“How about it? We’re friends, just offer something useful to me and we’ll trade.”
Lin You could see the excitement in his eyes and laughed lightly.
“Something useful to you?”
Situ Jian muttered softly and pondered deeply.
After a while, he recalled something, immediately taking out a different scroll from his personal space.
“How about this? I remember you were collecting this before.”
“Species Upgrade Scroll?”
Lin You directly called out the name of the scroll in his hand.
It was a scroll that could upgrade species to the same level as the Lord without consuming resources, and it was of Rare Level.
To allow the Royal Family to match his level, Lin You had previously collected a total of four such scrolls.
But he had eight Royal Species.
So he planned to collect a few more during the next Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, but he didn’t expect Situ Jian to have one too.
“Deal!”
Without hesitation, he directly exchanged the skill scroll in his hand with Situ Jian.
Now both parties got what they wanted, and everyone was happy.
Very soon.
The magnetic levitation train reached the border of the Mechanical Empire.
The three got off the train and came to the outskirts of the Nightmare Forest, bidding each other farewell before parting ways.
Yan Lie and Situ Jian hunted demons on the outskirts, while Lin You continued toward the center of the forest, with the Ancient Origin Tree as his target.
Only what surprised Lin You was.
When he rode the Demon Emperor Dragon to the vicinity of the Ancient Origin Tree, he found that fewer Lords had gathered here than expected.
Maybe it was related to yesterday’s incident, as there were only a little more than half of the usual Lords present.
Some Tier Eight Lords were even lingering on the edges, not daring to approach.
This made Lin You’s eyes light up.
Because once the number of people decreases, his chances of grabbing the Origin Fruit greatly increase.
As the saying goes, ’the timid die of hunger, the bold die of overeating.’
If he dared not take even this risk, then he might as well not continue surviving in this world.
“It’s starting!”
As he was thinking.
A shout suddenly rang out.
The Ancient Origin Tree remained the same, promptly exuding life aura and began condensing the fruits.
The Lords who had been watching saw this and didn’t hesitate, immediately driving their flying mounts to the ground, rushing toward the center area.
Lin You did not follow their steps but patiently waited in the outer area.
Because according to routine, those Tier Nine Lord Demons would appear in the center area, while Tier Eight Lord Demons would appear in the outer area.
Sure enough, just as he expected.
After the Origin Fruit fell, one of them landed not far from him, transforming into a twisted figure of an Origin Entangler.
This time, with fewer competitors, Lin You wouldn’t be polite.
The Lord Demon hadn’t landed yet, and he immediately charged with his forces.
“Do it!”
At his command, Barbaric Roar activated, and Lingxi, the Big Cannon, and Shadowless, the three Royal Species, attacked simultaneously.
Amidst the burst of sparks, three incredibly powerful attacks emerged, sweeping toward the Lord Demon and sealing off all its escape routes.
“Quick! Block him!”
The surrounding Lords also noticed Lin You taking the first action, their faces changing drastically, and the species at their side surged like tides, trying to seize the advantageous position before Lin You.
Among them, there were even a few Tier Nine Lords, whose species boasted formidable momentum, arriving in an instant.
And as their voices rang out, overwhelming attacks appeared, immediately engulfing the Origin Entangler.
The Tier Eight Lord Demon was slain on the spot!
However, unbeknownst to them.
Lin You was waiting for this moment.
Seizing the moment right after the Lords finished their round of attacks, and before new attacks could be initiated.
Shadowless, supported by Barbaric Roar, charged up with terrifying speed, its figure twisting.
Instant Shadow Skill, activate!
Already at extreme speed, it suddenly doubled, turning into an afterimage and swiftly snatching the fruit, dashing outward.
“Trying to run? No way!”
“Kill it for me!”
“Attack, don’t let it escape!”
The Lords shouted constantly, and their species formed an encirclement around Shadowless, leaving no gaps, with large-scale attacks erupting, sealing off all escape routes for Shadowless.
In this situation.
Even if Lin You used the Peaceful Domain, it wouldn’t help it break out of the encirclement.
But he remained unperturbed.
With a thought, Shadowless in the encirclement suddenly vanished, instantly teleporting to the back of a species at the farthest edge, delivering a slash.
It was the Instant Teleportation skill, Shadow Kill!
Originally just a displacement attack skill, yet Lin You used it to its fullest potential, locking onto a target outside the encirclement to break through the blockade.
And all attacks from the encirclement suddenly missed, making the Lords’ expressions change.
By the time they reacted again.
Lin You had already recalled his species and activated Void and Rapid Shadow to escape.
One skill was for stealth, the other for speed.
Both were born for fleeing.
No matter how the Lords desired to pursue, they couldn’t quickly locate his escape route.
Moreover, amidst such chaos.
As long as he slipped into the crowd and changed direction, who would remember it was he who snatched the Origin Fruit?
