All humans transmigrated to a parallel world, where every one of them was a king with the territory. They participated in a game called The Ranking of Kings and fought to become the best nation. The rankings were determined based on various aspects such as military, technology, commerce, culture, and religion. In the game, the kings would awaken different attributes of the land. Someone exclaimed, "My Renewable Resources attribute allows me to enhance raw materials such as timber and minerals. I want to build the strongest empire of commerce!" Another king challenged, "My King of the Undead attribute allows me to summon dead souls to fight for me. Who dares to stand in the way of my troops of one million undead?" The third king declared, "My Integrated Production attribute will ensure that technology is being implemented efficiently. You foolish barbarians, watch as my nation advances a few centuries ahead of yours." The fourth king said, "My Miracle Summon attribute can increase the efficiency of evangelism by 1000%. I look forward to the day when my nation becomes the top religion in the world." … Li Xiang revealed a pondering look as he looked at his attributes shown on the virtual data panel. [Attribute 1: Devils' Den (SSS rank, unique)] [You acquired the original birthplace of the Dragon Clan. All the legendary dragons are now under your command.] [Attribute 2: Devouring Lands (currently A rank, evolvable)] [When you annex the territory of other kings, you seize their attributes as well. Furthermore, you can level up these attributes to even higher ranks.]

Chapter 1: SSS-Rank Talent, Demon Lair!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

[Welcome to the Myriad World Continent!]

[This is an open-world game.]

[It is also a game where one plunders resources.]

[Every survivor will receive their personal lord talent for their future growth and development.]

[You will lead your subordinates to expand your territory as a king, competing with myriad countries for hegemony, and conquer the world!]

[Countless opportunities and challenges are waiting for you to explore.]

[In here…]

[You can even gain eternal life!]

…

When Li Xiang woke up in a daze and found himself on barren land, he knew that he had not heard wrongly.

He had really transmigrated.

And he had even come to such a godforsaken place.

There were no buildings around him. In front of him was an endless plain, and behind him was a black mountain covered in rocks. There was no life at all.

The sky was gray, and even the ground was gray. Deep roars came from afar from time to time, making people feel unusually oppressed.

"The struggle for hegemony of myriad countries… is this my territory?"

Li Xiang took a deep breath and frowned.

At this moment, another voice sounded in his mind.

[The lord of a country!]

[From now on, you will receive three days of novice protection!]

[During this period of time, your territory will not be invaded by any foreign enemies. You can rest assured in developing your territory.]

[After three days, the protection will disappear. You will face the test brought by the terrifying creatures that live on the Myriad World Continent!]

[The initial beast tide will sweep through the territories of all the country lords in the Myriad World Continent. If the country lord dies, you will forever lose the chance to compete with the myriad kingdoms for hegemony, as well as the chance to live forever!]

[You have obtained basic land — area 10km x 10km!]

[Do you want to establish it as a country construction site?]

"Yes!"

Li Xiang did not hesitate too much.

From this information, it was not difficult to know that the Myriad World Continent was not safe. There were many terrifying creatures.

Being unarmed, he did not want to deal with such an existence. It was better to develop for a period of time first.

Soon, a golden light rose from the border of his territory, isolating this land from the outside world.

[The country has been established. Ruler, please expand your power to your heart's content!]

Next, it was time to develop the strength of the country.

n0𝗏𝞮𝓛𝐮𝑆𝓑.𝗰0𝑚

Li Xiang studied it carefully and realized that if he wanted to develop the country, he could do it from five aspects.

They were [Military, [Technology, [Business, [Culture, and [Religion].

Each sub-category had its own unique aspects, and each had its own advantages.

Basically, the lords would determine which sub-category they wanted to choose based on their awakened lord attributes.

This type of lord attribute was completely random, and there were strong and weak.

It was split into ranks from F to SSS, a total of nine ranks, and the strength of each sub-category would increase.

Those who managed to draw strong attributes would naturally be able to expand their territory and even establish their own country and empire.

The Military and Technology branches were undoubtedly those who walked this path.

Those who drew weak attributes would have to think of ways to form an alliance with those talented kings. They could even provide resources to curry favor with the strong ones in exchange for protection.

Talents like Business, Culture, and Religion could not protect themselves in the early stages, so they could only choose to do this.

Of course, the most basic types of soldiers were available. As for whether they were weak civilians or well-trained soldiers, it all depended on luck.

Basically, everyone hoped that they could awaken a very strong talent.

Unfortunately, this system announced the probability of each rank's talent awakening.

Along with the F-Rank talent being 50%, when added together with the E-Rank and D-Rank talent, it accounted for 90% of the total probability.

Basically, most people's talents would fall within this range.

As for the highest SSS-Rank talent, the awakening rate was only 0.05%.

One could imagine that with such a large probability span, the improvement brought by a high-rank talent would definitely be exaggerated.

"It would be good enough to be able to obtain C-Rank."

Li Xiang did not have much hope for his own luck, and he was thinking about how to know what talent he had awakened.

The next moment, a virtual information panel appeared in his field of vision, displaying rows of words.

[Personal Information, [Friend Information, [World Chat Channel, [Cross-Border Trade Channel, and so on.

These menus could be opened.

First, he checked his own information.

[Country Lord: Li Xiang]

[Talent: Demon Lair (SSS-Rank, only one), Territory Devour (Able to grow, current A-Rank)]

[Power: 5 (Affects soldier's attack)]

[Agility: 3 (Affects soldier's attack speed, movement speed, and critical rate)]

[Intelligence: 4 (Affects soldier's skill release efficiency and power)]

[Vitality: 2 (Affects soldier's defense and HP)]

[Strength: Mortal]

[Country Rank: Primitive Tribe]

[Country's Core Soldiers: None at the moment]

[Country's Building: None at the moment]

[Equipment: None]

[Resources: None at the moment]

…

"SSS-Rank talent?"

Li Xiang rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

The highest rank talent was drawn by him?

Moreover, he seemed to have more than one talent?

Li Xiang breathed quickly and took a quick look again.

[Demon Lair (SSS-Rank, only one): You have obtained the birthplace of the primitive demon, and all the demon soldiers in the fantasy legends fight for you.

[Territory Devour (Able to grow, current A-Rank): When you devour other hostile and neutral territories, you can also devour their territory attribute and raise it to a higher level!

"Damn! This is real!"

"The only one SSS-Rank talent, and an A-Rank growth-type talent!"

"Aren't I invincible now?"

Li Xiang was extremely excited.

Just from that "only one" words, he knew that this demon was definitely a top-rank soldier, and its strength was definitely extremely powerful.

The stronger the initial soldier, the higher the starting point.

This meant that compared to the other country lords, in the early stages, he could quickly accumulate resources, expand his territory, and increase his strength, leaving the others far behind!

However, this Demon Lair had not been set up yet, so he could not breed demons for the time being.

Li Xiang turned his head to look at the pitch-black mountain behind him. He looked at the cave on the mountainside, deep in thought.

Chapter 2: This World Is Full of Danger

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"This mountain is at the center of the territory, and the terrain is so steep that no living creature can touch the cave except for the flying units."

It was a good place.

From the panel, he was just a mortal.

This meant that he had no way to fight against the native creatures of this world.

However, this was not a big deal. He was the ruler, the man who was going to lead his subordinates to conquer the world.

The soldiers and generals under him were what he relied on.

Li Xiang immediately decided to treat this place as a barracks.

A notification immediately sounded in his head.

[Do you want to set up the Demon Lair?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes!"

Boom!

Along with a rumbling sound.

A hint of blood color appeared deep in the cave, and the overall appearance of the cave changed drastically.

When he looked at the cave again, a corresponding panel appeared.

[Demon Lair: The only soldier building]

[Rank: Rank 1]

[Initial Soldiers: None at the moment]

[Unlocked Soldiers: None at the moment]

[Special Effect: A new demon can be spawned for every level (0/1)]

[Level Up Requirement: Fuse with a territory]

…

Rank 1, just enough to spawn a demon.

Li Xiang could not help but look forward to it.

He immediately chose to start spawning!

Unfortunately, he only realized at this moment that he had to wait half an hour.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Xiang began to look at the other menus.

[Friend information] was empty.

[Cross-Border Trade Channel] was also quiet.

Only the [World Chat Channel] had an exclamation mark on it, and it was very noisy.

When he went in, he saw countless people talking inside.

"Damn it, what is this place?"

"Who can tell me what these transparent creatures floating in the air are? Help, I don't want to die yet…"

"Idiot, if you don't want to die, don't run around. Quickly put the barracks in the territory and let the initial soldiers deal with them!"

"My initial soldiers are E-Rank Missionaries. If I don't level them up to the Holy Guards, I won't have any offensive skills. [E-Rank Missionary Illustration Manual]"

"A moment of silence for the unlucky guy upstairs. Just now, someone was running around with D-Rank Hatchet Men. Now, the grass on the grave is three meters tall."

"E-Rank is already very good. Sigh, I only have an F-Rank Slime. It doesn't know anything except spitting. [F-Rank Slime Illustration Manual]"

…

Li Xiang opened the illustration manual and took a look. He almost laughed out loud.

[Missionary]

Quality: E

Growth Rate: 1

Rank: 1

Attack: 3-5

Defense: 2

HP: 50

Skills: None at the moment

…

The other one was even worse.

[Slime]

Quality: F

Growth Rate: 1

Rank: 1

Magic Attack: 2-3

Defense: 1

HP: 70

Skills: None at the moment

…

n0𝗏𝗲𝓛𝓊𝓈𝗯.𝐜0𝑀

As expected of the soldiers at the lowest grade.

If they could not suppress the quality of the soldiers with numbers, no one would be able to defeat them in a one-on-one fight.

Li Xiang even felt that he, a mortal, was stronger than these two types of soldiers!

At this moment, the system's broadcast rang, and everyone heard the same voice.

[All rulers from Earth have successfully awakened. Starting to divide the regions now…]

The voice paused for a moment and then rang out again a few seconds later.

[All rulers of Region 0042 have completed their talent statistics. F-Rank talent possessors: 27; E-Rank talent possessors: 16; D-Rank talent possessors: 11; C-Rank talent possessors and above: 4!]

The output rate of high-rank talent was even lower than the published data.

Li Xiang did not expect that out of the 58 people in his region, only four had awakened C-Rank talent and above.

It was like a pyramid; the higher one went, the fewer there were.

From the world chat just now, it was not hard to know that even D-Rank soldiers could not do whatever they wanted in the protection zone. This meant that the rulers with E-Rank and F-Rank talent would have a harder time surviving.

As the regions were divided, the echelon rankings also appeared.

This was the strength ranking of the rulers in the region.

Li Xiang took a look. He was shockingly ranked first in the [Military Potential] rankings!

The chat in the region that just came out had already exploded.

"Damn it! There are only four people in the first echelon? Is this a joke?"

"Even the D-Rank soldiers in the second echelon have a hard time clearing the monsters in the territory. Doesn't this mean that there are only four people who can protect themselves in the novice stage?"

"I don't think so. The C-Rank soldiers might not be much stronger than the D-Rank soldiers."

"Are you sure? [C-Rank Murloc Illustration Manual]"

Li Xiang wanted to open it and see. The attributes were indeed much better.

[Murloc]

Quality: C

Growth Rate: 3

Rank: 1

Magic Attack: 15-30

Defense: 7

HP: 350

Skill: [Spear]

…

It was at least ten times stronger than the Missionary!

And as the level increased, the growth rate would widen the gap.

With such a panel, it was believed that after having a certain amount of base, it would not be too much of a problem to deal with some wild animals.

It was an easy thing to solve the problem of individual meals.

As for whether they could leave the novice protection zone to explore the wilderness, that was unknown.

This naturally caused many people to go crazy for it.

"Boss, please bring me along! I can serve you tea and water, and I can even warm your bed if you need me. I know all 72 postures, you can play however you want!"

"Damn it, count me in! Boss, you can use my territory resources as you please, and you can take the barracks too. As long as you give me a meal!"

The Murloc King replied, "Hahaha, alright, alright, this Murloc of mine is a marine soldier. When it grows up, it might even be able to transform into a dragon. Wait until I go out to clear the area, gather resources, and evolve a wave, then I'll come back and bring you guys to have a good time!"

"Boss is awesome!"

"Boss, please share the view of clearing the area!"

[Murloc King has activated the view sharing!]

In the time it took, all the rulers of Region 0042 clicked on it. Even Li Xiang was no exception.

He also wanted to know what was outside the territory.

He saw the Murloc King leading his four Murloc underlings through the side of the territory first. On the way, they encountered wild beasts. They surrounded and attacked them one by one, killing them without any danger.

The territory was safe now.

However, there weren't many resources in his territory. There wasn't even a water source.

The Murloc King was proud of himself. In the regional chat, he said that he was definitely the first person who could go out to explore. No one could beat him.

Then, he swaggered out of the novice protection zone, ready to find a water source.

In the end, he encountered his first crisis.

It was a group of [Pecking Falcon]. He couldn't see their attributes, but there were many of them, and they were led by one [Pecking Falcon King].

The Murloc King ordered his subordinates to raise their spears and shoot.

In the end, the stone spears were instantly deflected the moment they hit the fur of the Pecking Falcons, forcibly deducting a bar of HP.

The Pecking Falcons flew over and attacked with their sharp, hook-like beaks. The four Murlocs were killed in an instant. The Murloc King, in his panic, couldn't escape the claws of the demons.

Even the corpse was eaten by the Pecking Falcon. The scene was only interrupted when the eyeball was swallowed by the Pecking Falcon King.

Chapter 3: Six-Winged Succubus, Four-Digit Attack!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Xiang could not help but frown slightly.

Compared to the outside world, the initial territory in the novice protection zone was indeed much safer. There were only a few ordinary wild beasts and no monsters.

Everyone watching was shocked.n0𝗏𝖊𝗅𝗎𝓈𝑏.𝑪0𝓂

"… It ended just like that?"

"… The Murloc King is finished…"

"Yeah… It's too wild. Even if he's talented in the beginning, he might not be able to keep his life."

"Oh my god, are the creatures outside the protection zone so terrifying that even C-Rank soldiers would be killed instantly?"

"I'd better just obediently explore within the territory… and quickly raise the rank of the soldiers."

"There are still three days left. Can we obtain enough resources to raise the current soldiers to a level higher than the Murloc's attributes?"

The chat channel fell into momentary silence.

Everyone knew very well that it was very difficult!

The difference in attributes between them and the Murlocs was about ten times. For F-Rank and E-Rank soldiers like them, they simply could not do it in the short term.

The only way was to rely on the strong!

Thus, a group of people sent friend requests to Li Xiang at the same time.

Since they wanted to suck up to a strong player, it was naturally the strongest one.

Li Xiang ignored them, acting very cold.

There was no other reason. It was precisely because the system notified him that half an hour had passed. The Demon Lair had produced its first contracted creature — the Six-Winged Succubus!

The Demon Lair did not have initial soldiers. It only had a chance to summon a demon, and the grade was random.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the lair. He saw a thick black gas fly out from within and land in front of him. Gradually, it condensed into a seductive figure.

Her skin was white and bright, and she wore a black corset that had materialized. There was a pair of small sharp horns on the top of her head, making her look somewhat cute.

However, she did not have wings, probably because her rank was too low, so she did not evolve.

Moreover, her appearance was somewhat young and tender, looking like she was only seven or eight years old.

Even so, she looked like a beauty.

"Greetings, Demon Lord!"

The Six-Winged Succubus knelt on one knee and placed her hands on her chest. Her head was lowered as she bowed to Li Xiang. Her attitude was as respectful as a devout believer.

In her heart, Li Xiang was the creator of the demon race.

No matter what orders he gave, even if she had to sacrifice her life, she would not hesitate.

The template of the Six-Winged Succubus appeared in Li Xiang's eyes.

[Six-Winged Succubus] (Boss-Rank Unit)

Quality: SSS

Race: Demon

Growth Rate: 10 (Full)

Rank: 1

Magic Attack: 500-1000 (5%)

Defense: 200 (2%)

HP: 3,500 (2%)

Skills: [Kiss of Appeasement, [Whip of Excruciating Pain, [Invert All Living Things, [Invisibility]

…

"Damn it!"

Li Xiang cursed and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

After confirming that he had not seen wrongly, he was overjoyed.

His first contract demon was actually so powerful!

Ignoring the stats on the panel, just the skills alone, there were as many as four!

After a simple look, both [Kiss of Appeasement] and [Invert All Living Things] are controlled skills, but one was a single target, and the other was a group.

Whip of Excruciating Pain was a skill with extremely high attack power. On the other hand, Invisibility could allow the Six-Winged Succubus to quickly escape from battle when its strength was lacking. It could be said that it had both offense and defense.

So what if he didn't have any initial soldiers?

Li Xiang laughed.

Hehe, he had a big boss!

This time, he had the confidence to go out and explore.

He rubbed his somewhat shriveled stomach.

The first element of survival was food. Filling one's stomach was the most important thing to do at the moment.

"Let's eliminate the threat in the territory first."

Li Xiang made up his mind.

Unlike the Murloc King, he would not rashly run out of the protection zone.

This world was so strange. Who knew if he would encounter an existence that could instantly kill a Six-Winged Succubus?

One had to be careful.

It just so happened that there seemed to be traces of cattle roaming in the depths of the plains. They should be the strongest creatures in this area, so they shall be used as practice!

Such violent creatures with rough-skinned and thick flesh might be a nightmare for people with weaker soldiers.

But for Li Xiang, this was just the beginning of an opportunity.

He did as he had planned and directly brought the succubus out.

After walking for a long time, he found that about twenty buffalos were looking for food.

They were extremely majestic, and each of them was more than five meters tall.

The succubus was not even one-third of the height of these creatures.

"Succubus, can you take care of them?" Li Xiang asked with some uncertainty. He could not see the monster's attributes and could not determine the difference in attributes.

The Six-Winged Succubus's young face was full of determination. "Demon Lord, please rest assured, this mission is not difficult."

Li Xiang hesitated for a moment. "Hmm… Let me see the power of your skills first."

He thought that if he could not fight them after controlling them, he could still run away.

"Yes!"

The Six-Winged Succubus walked step by step towards the herd. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

Invert All Living Things!

"Moo!"

Suddenly, the eyes of the herd turned red at the same time. It was like a demonic sound had entered their ears, affecting their minds. In the next moment, they actually started to bite and fight each other.

Li Xiang's eyes lit up slightly. This skill was pretty good. It could not simply be classified as a control skill.

Unfortunately, his Intelligence points were not high, so the duration of the skill was not that long.

After about ten seconds, the herd gradually woke up from their frenzied state and stopped. They all looked at Li Xiang and the succubus as if they had found out who the culprit was.

However, it was already too late.

In the chaotic battle, half of the buffalos were heavily injured.

The succubus drew her whip from the void, which became the last straw that pressed down on them.

The four-digit damage caused the buffalos to fall down one after another, completely losing their life force.

"How simple."

Li Xiang could not help but sigh.

The Murloc King was killing one opponent in a group. He was killing one group of opponents with one attacker.

At this rate, it was not impossible to deal with the crisis three days later.

[Ding, congratulations for slaughtering neutral or opposing creatures in the world, ruler. The "Survival of the Fittest" achievement has been activated. Bronze Treasure Chest x 1 is hereby awarded!]

"There's actually an achievement?"

Li Xiang opened his hand, and an ancient treasure chest fell into his palm.

Opening it, he saw that there was a ring inside.

[Storage Ring: Has a space of 10 x 10 cubic meters. Can be used to store items.

Li Xiang directly handed it over to the succubus.

"Take care of these buffalos. Bring back all the useful materials."

"Yes, my noble Demon Lord!"

Chapter 4: Selling Ten Times Higher in the Trade Channel

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The succubus was very obedient and immediately began to deal with the carcasses of these buffalos.

Soon, a large number of resources were stored in batches inside the Storage Ring.

Among them were materials such as cowhide and horns.

Cow horns could be used to make hats, and cowhide could be used to make armor and shoes.

In this time of material scarcity, everything could be used.

In addition, there were ten units of high-quality beef and twenty-five units of ordinary beef.

This was a systematic statistical method, and Li Xiang did not know how much there was in a unit specifically.

But he knew that this much meat was enough for him to eat for a long time.

If he did not deal with it quickly, it would probably spoil in a few days.

Li Xiang returned to the cave first and used the grass and branches to build a simple bed.

The air was very dry today, so there shouldn't be any rain, so he didn't build a roof.

The succubus carried the supplies one after another. The buffalo in the Myriad World Continent was gigantic. Even after they were dismembered, it was difficult for the Storage Ring to hold a few more.

From this, it could be seen how bountiful the harvest this trip was.

After he was done with all this, the sky darkened.

Li Xiang let the succubus start a bonfire and started roasting meat.

By the time a piece of the beef shank was completely roasted, a few hours had already passed.

Li Xiang devoured it in large mouthfuls.

There wasn't much taste, and it was difficult to chew.

This wasn't important. What was important was that it could fill one's stomach.

The succubus was also given a piece. She was the main contributor to this battle, so naturally, Li Xiang wanted to treat his right-hand man well.

However, the succubus looked like she wasn't interested in the beef.

"What's wrong, Succubus? Is it not to your liking?" Li Xiang asked with concern.

"No, Demon Lord." The succubus shook her head. "I've already eaten enough souls just now. I'm not hungry yet."

"Eaten souls?" Li Xiang was slightly startled.

"Yes!" The succubus smiled faintly, revealing two sharp teeth. "Demons only need to eat the souls of dead creatures to grow. We don't need to eat these things."

"I see."

Not needing to eat saved a lot of worries.

This meant that no matter how many demon soldiers Li Xiang raised in the future, he wouldn't need to consider logistics.

Moreover, they could grow and evolve through battle.

Li Xiang looked carefully. The succubus seemed to have grown a little taller than when she was born. Her appearance was also a little more mature, but it wasn't particularly obvious.

He believed that after her rank increased, she would be able to grow to around ten years old.

When that time came, her attributes would definitely be even more explosive!

Li Xiang stretched lazily.

While eating the roasted meat, he opened the regional chat channel.

A bunch of people was crying out bitterly.

"Heavens, why is this damned beast so hard to kill? Even after all my soldiers died, they weren't able to cause much damage to it!"

"Who isn't the same? We have to starve on the first day, the days are too hard to survive."

"I'll accumulate for two days first. Once there are more soldiers, then I'll go and challenge again. I've already collected a pot of bugs. Tonight, I'll rely on them to replenish my energy."

"Ugh! The one from above, you're so disgusting. Don't you know how to make traps!"

"I've used traps to capture a few sparrows. I can feed myself, but I can't feed my soldiers. Right now, their loyalty is constantly decreasing. I suspect that if I don't give them something to eat, they'll eat me."

"Hehe, why don't you slaughter these soldiers and eat them? Anyway, there are free refills every day, and it's a waste not to eat them. [Great Sea Turtle Illustration Manual] is very fragrant, but unfortunately, there are no spices."

"Yours is an aquatic animal soldier, and I'm raising humanoid soldiers. How can I eat them?"

Li Xiang smiled slightly, casually took a photo, and anonymously sent it out.

"[Picture] The first meal was delicious. It was full of calories. Unfortunately, there were too many that I couldn't finish, and I don't know how to store them. Do any of you know any methods of storing it? Care to share it? It's a sin to waste food!"

A group of people clicked on it and saw a man's back in the picture. Beside him, large pieces of beef were piled up like garbage, forming a small mountain.

The most ridiculous thing was that there was a beautiful little loli in tight black clothes helping to tidy up the bed. It looked like he was camping instead.

For a moment, everyone's state of mind collapsed.

"Darn it! Isn't this too ridiculous? We're all starving, and you are eating beef!"

"Is this the life of a boss?"

"I'm completely convinced. Boss, do you mind if I ride on your coattail? Just give me some meat."

"Big Brother, Big Brother, look at my figure. Do you need someone to warm your bed? [Picture]"

"This auntie, please have some self-respect. Your leg circumference is almost as big as the boss's waist circumference."

…

At this moment, the system once again sent a world announcement.

[Ding, respected rulers, the first day of survival training has come to an end. The Trading Mall has officially opened. All items can be traded with others through barter. Or, they can be recycled at the selling price of the mall in exchange for general currency. General currency can be used in the future trading system of the mall. If a certain amount of currency is being circulated in the world, the auction channel can also be activated!]

The group of people who originally wanted to seek Li Xiang's protection through various means shut their mouths after hearing this announcement.

In fact, everyone knew that Li Xiang wouldn't help strangers just because of a few words.

Moreover, everyone didn't know the location of their respective territories, and they didn't dare to leave the novice protection zone at will.

They were just trying to win Li Xiang's favor.

But now, the trade channel was open.

This meant that Li Xiang could trade his food with them.

But in contrast, they also needed to take out the corresponding chips.

The regional channel fell into a short silence.

Many people didn't have the ability to kill monsters, but there weren't dangers everywhere in their territories.

After a whole day of exploration, many people had accumulated a small number of low-grade resources, such as wood and water.

It was believed that these big shots might not have the time to collect these materials, and it would interest them.

Therefore, the channel resumed its bustle, and messages popped up one after another. All kinds of exchange requests were all for food.

Some provided water, some provided wood, and some provided ore materials.

There were even some people who were willing to give up their initial soldiers, and even cede territory in exchange for food.

Li Xiang could not help but sigh.

Hunger made people go crazy.n0𝗏𝖊𝗅𝗎𝓈𝑏.𝑪0𝓂

Unfortunately, these soldiers were all trash, and the territory was too far away from him. It was not a border area, so Li Xiang could not be bothered with them.

However, other resources could be exchanged for a portion.

Li Xiang directly started to formulate the trade rules.

There was a suggested price in the mall. One unit of meat for ten units of water or two units of stones.

He directly increased the price by ten times!

Meat for water: 1:100!

Meat for wood: 1:30!

Meat for stones: 1:20!

High-quality meat would be doubled!

Furthermore, he felt that the market in Region 0042 was too small, so he directly sent out the trading rules in the world channel once.

He also put up nine units of high-quality beef and 21 units of ordinary beef!

A total of 30 units flooded the empty trade channel.

Instantly, the world channel exploded.

Countless rulers were deeply shocked.

Chapter 5: Basic Tool Making Illustration Manual, Rank First in Business!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

On the first day of descending into this Myriad World Continent.

A ruler who could produce 30 units of food was definitely a super big shot!

After all, the vast majority of rulers didn't have the ability to survive in the initial territory.

Not to mention hunting and gathering food.

Some of the lucky ones who had C-Rank or even B-Rank initial soldiers could only make ends meet.

After feeding themselves and their soldiers, there was basically no food left.

In this environment, food, a necessary resource for survival, was extremely precious.

However, this price deterred a large number of people.

The official suggested price didn't cost much.

But he increased it by ten times?

Is this even beef?

It's more like dragon meat!

Many rulers were denouncing Li Xiang as an out-and-out profiteer, maliciously raising the market price and exploiting the labor of others.

Because the name of the trader would appear on the trade channel, naturally, Li Xiang became famous.

Almost every second, messages criticizing Li Xiang would flash across the World Chat Channel.

It was clear that he had offended billions of people.

However, Li Xiang did not care.

At this stage, there was no market for food.

Although there were 30 units of meat, in such a large market, it could only meet the needs of a very small number of people.

There would always be someone else to buy it.

He didn't expect an entire unit to be exchanged. He just needed to exchange as much meat as he could.

[Losing one-fifth of a unit of beef, obtaining six units of wood!]

[Losing one-hundredth of a unit of beef, obtaining one unit of water!]

As expected.

After a short while, the transaction information started to jump.

In just a few minutes, the 30 units of meat were sold out.

Most of them were wood and stone resources, but there was very little water.

It seemed that in this world, water was also a scarce resource.

At the same time, there were millions of friend requests.

Li Xiang ignored them all.

These people just wanted to ask if he had any food and wanted to continue the exchange, so there was no need to pay attention.

However, there was a message that piqued his interest in the regional chat.

"Excuse me, Boss Li Xiang, I have a good item here. Can I exchange it with you for a unit of meat? [Basic Tool Making Illustration Manual]"

This person's profile picture was a cat's head, and it was very cute. Li Xiang opened the illustration manual to take a look and was slightly surprised.

[Basic Tool Making Illustration Manual: It can be used to make pickaxes, shovels, axes, hoes, and other basic tools.

The value of this illustration manual could be imagined. For this person to be able to obtain such a valuable item on the first day, he must either have very strong abilities or very good luck.

Therefore, he asked, "Where did you get this thing? It has great uses in the future. But now you're exchanging it for a unit of meat?"

"It was on the body of a wild corpse that I found by the roadside. Sigh… I also know that this thing is very useful, but I'm too hungry. Moreover, I don't want my soldiers to betray me after losing their loyalty, so I can only do this. "

"Alright, let's trade. I'll put it up first. You keep an eye on it."

"Okay, Boss."

Then, Li Xiang started the trade.

Meat for illustration manual: 1:1

Soon, the illustration manual was in his hand, and no one stopped him. It seemed that not everyone could produce this kind of illustration manual.

Especially on the first day.n0𝒱𝞮𝓵𝑈𝔰𝐛.𝒞0𝓂

"Thank you, Boss. My initial soldiers don't have any combat ability. If I didn't have this meat, I might have to meet God on the third day." The other party thanked him on the channel.

Li Xiang learned the illustration manual directly, then, he replied, "Every soldier has its own unique usage. Since you don't have any combat ability, then don't think about fighting. Focus on developing the business and continue to collect these things. You can trade them with me anytime. I won't treat you unfairly."

"Ah! Don't worry, I won't let you down!" The other party was overwhelmed by the favor.

When the others saw this, they also started to send out all sorts of messy material illustration manuals.

"Boss, what do you think of this? [Broken Canvas]"

"That's just a piece of junk! Why don't you look at mine! [Unknown Liquid]"

"??? Are you sure that's not something that you produced yourself, and you're even trying to sell it? Boss Li Xiang, take a look at this. It might be some kind of tool to open a dungeon! [Strange Rotten Eyeball]"

Li Xiang had already exchanged for what he wanted, and he still needed to keep some meat for a rainy day, so he directly closed the chatbox.

The group of people still did not understand what was going on and continued to display it.

Until the person who had just exchanged the [Basic Tool Making Illustration Manual] spoke up.

"All of you, calm down a little. Go and take a look at the [Business] ranking. Who is in the first place? With this financial ability, he could just announce on the world channel what he wanted. With Boss Li Xiang's tastes, would he take a fancy to these things that you guys sent out?

The crowd checked one after another, and only then did they realize that Li Xiang was already at the top of the Business rankings. Moreover, he was also at the top of the Military rankings!

This meant that in Region 0042, Li Xiang was undoubtedly the number one person!

The crowd instantly became sour grapes.

They criticized the person who relied on an illustration manual to ride on Li Xiang's coattail.

Someone angrily stated, "Damn it, don't try to act like you've suffered from grievances when you've gotten a good deal. If I had your kind of luck, I would have directly given the illustration manual to Boss Li Xiang. I wouldn't even want the meat!"

"That's right. Do you know the difference between a moment of pleasure and a lifetime of pleasure? Trying to ride on the boss's coattails with this? You're dreaming!"

Cat Head quickly retorted, "Cut the crap. I've already sold half a unit of beef. The price is the same as Boss Li Xiang's. If you don't want to starve, you can exchange it yourself."

"Damn! You're learning way too fast. What a lowlife!"

"It's up to your speed to grab the goods. If you continue to scold, you're going to starve today!"

"Screw you!"

"…"

Chapter 6: Succubus's Ability Evolution! Flame Flogging!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

[Congratulations, ruler. You have obtained the achievement of the number one "Business Overlord" in the regional business rankings. You are hereby rewarded with a weapon that adapts to your soldiers, and your soldiers' ability will be strengthened once!]

The sun rose. When Li Xiang woke up, he heard such a joyous piece of good news.

He was instantly energized.

"What a good start!"

It was the second day of the novice protection period, and it was also the penultimate day. With such a reward, the Six-Winged Succubus would be able to increase its chances of fighting against the beast tide.

Without saying a word, he used it!

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Six-Winged Succubus's exclusive weapon — Flame Whip!]

[Please choose the ability that the Six-Winged Succubus needs to level up!]

[Kiss of Appeasement, [Whip of Excruciating Pain, [Invert All Living Things, [Invisibility]!

"Enhance Whip of Excruciating Pain!"

Li Xiang was resolute.

As the succubus' only attack method, what else could be evolved other than this?

[Hint: [Whip of Excruciating Pain] has been upgraded to [Flame Flogging]. The target that is hit will receive additional continuous burning damage.

"It actually has additional attribute damage?"

Li Xiang was surprised. This was definitely a huge increase for the succubus.

Then, he looked at the attributes of the weapon.

[Flame Whip] (exclusive to Six-Winged Succubus)

Grade: Legendary

Attack: 200-350

Power: 13

Agility: 10

Equip Level: 1

Characteristics: It has the fire attribute ability. It can greatly increase the killing effect of the same attribute.

Additional Effect: Attributes can grow with the user's rank

Exclusive Characteristics: When used by the Six-Winged Succubus, it can gain an additional 30% attack power bonus.

…

Li Xiang was already numb to it.

In terms of equipment grade, according to the system notification, from low to high were common, superior, excellent, perfect, master, unique, legendary, and ancient.

Above that, there were even godly weapons that only gods could control!

Although the Flame Whip was only a piece of legendary equipment, with its additional effect growth characteristics, it would definitely not be weaker than some ancient equipment in the future.

Just this Rank 1 initial weapon would probably be able to suppress the attributes of an A-Rank soldier.

The Six-Winged Succubus was indeed worthy of being an SSS-Rank boss. It was indeed extraordinary.

"Looks like the development of the territory can be put on the agenda."

He held his chin and pondered.

The attributes of the Six-Winged Succubus were too perverse. After equipping a weapon, its maximum attack power was close to 2,000.

The original tyrant in the territory, the giant buffalo, had been taken away by her two skills from before, not to mention that she now had a weapon after being enhanced.

The main reason was that there was no water in the territory, and wood and stones were pitifully scarce.

To build a city-state, these two kinds of resources were indispensable.

"I can't just rely on trading to obtain these things. The lifeline of the resources must be in my hands."

Li Xiang felt that since he had such a good start, he should take a more comprehensive route.

A new day should start with new actions.

Li Xiang did not hesitate any longer and brought the succubus to search for a water source.

At the same time, he inspected the territory to see if there were any other threats.

The territory was 10 km x 10 km. It was not considered big, and they quickly circled around and walked to the border.

The border was protected by a golden barrier, and the creatures outside did not dare to invade.

They walked along the border of their territory and found a water source after walking half round.

Unfortunately, this source of water happened to be outside of Li Xiang's territory.

Li Xiang took a deep breath.

"Succubus, should we go out?"

The tragic state of the Murloc King was still vivid in his mind.

The succubus's expression was firm. "No matter what dangers we encounter, Demon Lord, I will always be by your side."

"Alright! Let's go!"

Li Xiang took a step forward and crossed the protective barrier.

To be honest, he did not feel anything else when he came to a land that did not belong to him.

The air was not fresher, nor did the scenery look better.

"If I want to claim this piece of land for myself, I should chase the original ruler out or eliminate him, right?" Li Xiang said uncertainly.

It was the second day of the "game" of the competition for the hegemony of the myriad worlds. No one knew how to expand territory.

Everything had to be explored by himself.

The unknown was often the most dangerous.

"Damn it, I have a succubus by my side. What's there to be afraid of!"

Li Xiang began to cheer himself up.

Taking a deep breath, he began to walk deeper into the unfamiliar territory.

Along the way, they met some wild beasts, but they were all killed by the succubus with one whip. While he had obtained a lot of food, it also made Li Xiang feel much more confident.

The places outside the territory were not as terrifying as he had imagined.

Soon, they passed through the forest and arrived at an open grassland.

In the center, there was a campsite.

"Cam! You idiot, I told you not to bring food into the tent to eat. This would attract those dirty rats!"

A muscular humanoid creature walked out, gave a tight slap to another person of the same size beside the pile of rocks, and said in a muffled voice, "Do you want their feces mixed in those delicious raisins!"

The person who was slapped touched the back of his head and whispered, "Oh, Jed, it's not my fault, it's the glutton in my stomach."

"Don't do this next time!"

"Got it…"

Li Xiang observed everything.

"So it's the barbarians…"

The system automatically translated the language he couldn't understand.

This was a tribe with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. Their strength was due to their innate divine strength. Other than the ancient titan tribe, no one was their match in terms of strength.

And their weakness was also very obvious. They had cognitive inflexibility.

Li Xiang pondered for a moment. Should he think of a way to trick them into moving?

n0𝑣𝗲𝓵𝓊𝑠𝗯.𝒸0𝐌

After thinking about it, he decided to forget about it.

The barbarians were stubborn. They would not leave the place left behind by their ancestors even if they were beaten to death. It was better to suppress them by force.

This world did not need mercy. Killing all of them would be simple and straightforward!

Chapter 7: Subjugate the Territory, Construction That Was a Hundred Times More Efficient!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lee Xiang directly walked out with the succubus.

The barbarian called Cam saw them, and there was a trace of surprise on his face.

"Eh? There are two dwarves here. Hey Jed, come and see!"

Jed also looked over and laughed. "Two dwarves? It's clearly a gnome and a dwarf!"

The succubus's expression darkened. "Those who insult the Demon Lord shall die!"

Jed laughed even louder. "Hahaha. Cam, did you hear that? This dwarf said that she wants me to die. This is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life."

Cam held his belly and laughed.

"Little girl, maybe you should stand on my shoulder and tiptoe next to my ear to say it again. I'm afraid that I've heard wrongly."

As he spoke, Jed walked forward and patted the succubus's shoulder with his big hand.

The succubus narrowed her eyes and struck out brazenly.

She stretched out her petite palm and pressed it on the barbarian's little finger.

The smile on Jed's face froze.

Because he realized that no matter how hard he tried, his palm could not reach out even a tiny bit!

The succubus's face was ice-cold, like a ghost from the netherworld.

She used all her strength at the same time and snapped her fingers!

Crack!

The crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Jed's expression changed drastically. Along with the intense pain in his hand, he finally could not help but shout out loud.

"Ah! Damn it! What did you do to my hand!"

n0𝒱𝓔𝓵𝗎𝑆𝑩.𝓬0𝗆

Up until now, Jed still did not think that the little girl in front of him had defeated him using her strength.

The succubus didn't say anything at all. She pulled out her exclusive weapon, the Flame Whip.

For a moment, the blazing flames enveloped the entire area.

The air became restless, affected by the powerful elemental power.

Jed took two steps back. No matter how simple-minded he was, he knew that the situation wasn't right.

It was dangerous!

He immediately wanted to leave.

But the succubus wouldn't give him this chance.

When Flame Flogging was unleashed, the tip of the Flame Whip spat out dozens of fire snakes and ruthlessly lashed onto Jed's back.

-1743!

Through the system notification, Li Xiang clearly saw the damage caused by this attack.

With the addition of the skills and the Flame Whip's damage, just one whip successfully made this barbarian fall to the ground, unable to get up. He was burned by the subsequent corrosive flames and cried out in pain.

It was visible to the naked eye that the thick-skinned barbarian's HP had dropped by more than half.

At the same time, the fire snake landed on the nearby grass, and with a bang, it ignited a huge fire. It quickly spread to the entire barbarian tribe as if it was a living hell.

Cam watched this scene in a daze.

Another eight barbarians ran out of the camp.

Seeing the flames all around the place, and also the succubus who was holding the Flame Whip in the middle who was about to punish Jed, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Oh my god, she can control the flames!"

"It's the Fire God!"

"Jed has angered the Fire God!"

"Oh my god! What did this idiot do!"

"Kneel down! Beg for the Fire God's forgiveness!"

A group of burly barbarians knelt on the ground, kowtowing and apologizing continuously.

It seemed that they treated the succubus like a god.

This time, the succubus was stunned by their actions.

The hand that was suspended in the air did not know if it should land.

After all, the Demon Lord did not say that he wanted to kill them.

She could not help but turn her head to look at Li Xiang, seeking the Demon Lord's opinion.

Li Xiang already had an idea in his heart. Looking at the group of barbarians, he said indifferently, "If you submit, you will live. If you resist, you will die."

The barbarians behaved abnormally obediently. "Yes! If Lord Fire God has any orders, feel free to say them. The barbarian tribe will definitely not refuse!"

The succubus could not help but correct loudly, "The one you want to submit to is not me, but the Demon Lord!"

Demon Lord?

The barbarians exchanged glances. They had never heard of this so-called Demon Lord.

However, since he could become the Fire God's master, he must be an even more incredible existence!

One of the barbarians who looked like the leader immediately shouted, "I am willing to follow the powerful leader!"

The rest of the people agreed.

"I'm willing too!"

"Me too!"

"… And me!" Jed, who was heavily injured on the ground, also raised his hand, looking miserable.

[Ding! Congratulations, ruler, you have successfully subdued a barbarian unit x 10. It can be used for gathering, building, and fighting. Loyalty 90%!]

Li Xiang nodded slightly.

Very good, they were indeed simple-minded.

He did not expect that he would be able to subdue this tribe by accident.

It was all thanks to the reward of ranking first place in business. Otherwise, it would definitely not have such an effect.

Next, it was time to fuse the territory.

"Succubus put away all these flames."

"Yes, Demon Lord!"

The succubus only waved her hand lightly. The flames that were originally surging with momentum disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a trail of burning marks.

This move made the ten barbarians respect the succubus as a celestial being. At the same time, they respected Li Xiang, the Demon Lord.

Li Xiang came to the interior of the barbarians' stronghold and started to use his other talent.

[Territory Devour]!

This talent could devour the original attributes of other territories and raise them to a higher level.

When the territory core of the barbarian tribe fell into Li Xiang's hands, he successfully saw the unique ability of this territory.

[Waste to Build (E): Construction speed increased by 10%.

The construction ability was very important to Li Xiang.

Direct annexation!

[Ding! Ruler, congratulations on successfully obtaining the first neutral territory. The original ability "Waste to Build (E)" has been upgraded to "Great Construction (S)"!]

[Great Construction (S): Construction speed increased by a hundred times!

It was strong!

Li Xiang could not help but grin.

If there were no comparisons, there wouldn't be harm.

Compared to Great Construction, Waste to Build was simply the dregs of dregs!

Territory Devour was indeed worthy of being an A-Rank talent that could grow. It was so strong that it made one's hair stand on end.

With this ability, as long as he did things related to construction in the future, he would be a hundred times faster than others!

With a flash of golden light, the barrier of the protection zone spread towards the border of Xinjiang.

Soon, this piece of land would officially belong to him.

"I don't have to worry about running out of water now, but there are ten more people in the territory. I have to quickly prepare a place to live."

These barbarians were not like the succubus, who had blind faith and worshipped Li Xiang. Their loyalty would decrease with the treatment and environment.

Once it falls below 60, it could trigger a mutiny.

A lot of wood and stones were exchanged yesterday, and now is the time to put them to good use.

Chapter 8: Goblin Threat, Mini Boss Barbarian

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After returning, the first thing that Li Xiang did was to level up the Demon Lair that had met the requirements. Then, he ordered the barbarians to cut down the wood.

The materials exchanged were not enough. A wooden house needed at least 15 units of wood to build, but there were ten people here, so that would be 150 units.

The shortage of materials had to be harvested.

However, the barbarians were uncivilized. It was equivalent to the primitive tribes in the stone age. They did not even know how to make a fire and lived a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

If they were to use stones to cut wood, even if ten people worked together, even if they were barbarians with innate divine strength, they would not be able to get many units of wood in a day.

The efficiency was too low.

Fortunately, Li Xiang had the [Basic Tool Making Illustration Manual] in his hands.

It contained the principles of how to make a wood-cutting axe.

After teaching them everything, a group of simple-minded barbarians could easily make it.

When they personally experienced the convenience of tools and cut down the first tree, their faces were filled with surprise.

"Combining stones and wood can have such a powerful effect. Heavens, how did the lord come up with this idea?"

"And that… whetstone, it really can sharpen a stone so much!"

"This kind of wisdom can only be possessed by the Sorcerer God, no wonder the Fire God worships the lord so much."

"The power of wisdom! If I had even a tiny bit of the lord's wisdom, the last time when I competed for the position of the tribal leader, the one who succeeded wouldn't be Carl but me!"

"Forget it, Bart. With that small body of yours, you are only fit to smell God Carl's farts!"

"Hehe, Carl is no longer the leader. Idiot, you called him a god, then what do you take the new lord for?"

"The Lord is the king of all gods; is there a problem?"

"Why are you shouting so loudly; do you want to fight!"

"Fight then! Why would I be afraid of you!"

Bang!

The two barbarians did not get along and started fighting.

Li Xiang, who was watching all this from afar, could not help but become speechless.

He glanced at the even sturdier barbarian beside him and shook his head slightly.

How silly.

Why was this race like a bunch of children, fighting so easily?

Carl scratched his head. Was the lord unhappy?

He immediately shouted, "Bart! Sam! You two idiots hurry up and chop down the trees. If you waste any more time, I'll take care of your butts tonight!"

Li Xiang was speechless.

Well, he's even worse than these two.

However, after Carl's shout, Bart and Sam became obedient.

It was unknown whether they were afraid of Carl's night attack, or because Li Xiang, the new lord, was present, so they went to work obediently.

There were a total of eight of them, and they worked in groups of two, which was very efficient.

A tree with a diameter of more than a meter was cut down by them violently, and it only took them a few minutes to cut it down.

On the contrary, the subsequent flaying, pruning, and segmentation took more time.

Jed had originally wanted to come and help.

But seeing that this guy was heavily injured, so Li Xiang let him have a good rest.

There was one good thing about the barbarian's physique, which was a quick recovery.

The burns on his body did not cause him any physical harm other than pain.

The fracture of his pinky was not a big deal. He could recover in a few months.

After the others had harvested a certain amount of wood, Li Xiang asked them to split half of their people to build the camp.

Moreover, he gave the order that apart from building their own houses, they would also prepare accommodations for Li Xiang and the succubus.

The group of barbarians naturally didn't resist and agreed happily.

After that, Li Xiang didn't bother with them anymore and let the succubus go out to hunt wild beasts.

While harvesting experience and souls, he also prepared more food that the barbarian tribe needed to consume.

Judging from their appearance, this group of people definitely ate a lot.

It was impossible not to have a reserve of food.

Meanwhile, he brought Carl to patrol the territory.

Li Xiang wanted to prepare to go to the new territory to determine the location and the approximate number of resource points.

Unexpectedly, after Carl heard Li Xiang's intentions, he revealed a troubled expression.

"My Lord, for your safety's sake, if you want to go there for a walk, it would be best to bring the Fire God… Ah, no, it's Lord Succubus. I'm not confident that I can protect you…"

Li Xiang smiled faintly. "Why, are there really terrifying monsters in the territory?"

"That's not it…"

Carl answered truthfully, "It's just that recently, the surroundings of the territory aren't too peaceful. There's a group of despicable creatures constantly thinking of invading us."

"What is it?"

"Goblins, an extremely greedy and violent race."

A look of disgust appeared on Carl's face. "Their own territory has been snatched away by others. Now, they're relying on their own tribe's large population and fast reproduction speed to invade other people's territory. They're despicable and shameless!"

Li Xiang chuckled but didn't say anything.

He didn't expect the barbarians to be peace lovers.

This was out of his expectations.

But he wasn't worried that these goblins would invade his territory.

n0𝓋𝗲𝑙𝓤𝐬𝔅.𝒸0𝔪

After all, the novice protection period was still in effect. As long as he didn't do anything stupid, he would be safe.

However, he still took another look at Carl.

He pulled out this guy's stats panel.

He wanted to know what level this guy was at to be afraid of a group of goblins who were only fit to be the lowest level monsters in the game.

[Carl] (Elite-Rank Unit)

Quality: A

Race: Human

Growth Rate: 5

Rank: 5

Attack: 100-250 (5%)

Defense: 120 (2%)

HP: 2,500 (2%)

Skills: [Berserk, [Divine Power, [Battle Intent Roar]

…

Compared to the succubus, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

No wonder Carl was afraid of the goblins.

He was already Rank 5, yet he only had this little bit of attributes. His skills were also the one-on-one combat type. If he was surrounded by a bunch of goblins, even if these goblins had the attributes of C-Rank murlocs, Carl probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Group battles were too weak.

However, in terms of individual strength.

Among the A-Rank soldiers, the barbarians' offensive abilities could be considered top-notch.

After all, they had three buffs for their skills.

Once all of them were buffed, they would be like mini-bosses!

At this moment, a notification appeared in his mind.

The Demon Lair had successfully leveled up!

Chapter 9: Rank 2 Demon Lair, New S-Rank Soldiers, SS-Rank Demon Eye of Insight!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

[Ding! Congratulations, ruler. Your Demon Lair has been successfully upgraded to Rank 2. You have obtained new soldier types — Black Wing Demon (Against the sky), Vine Whisker Demon (Against the ground)!]

[Do you want to spawn a new demon?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes!"

At this moment, Li Xiang hurried back as he was not in a hurry to check out the resource points anymore.

He was more concerned with his military strength than these trivialities.

When he arrived at the Demon Lair, Li Xiang pulled out the panel data, looked at the contents, and became depressed again.

Call —

[Black Wing Demon: S-Rank soldier, extremely strong attack, medium defense, has very fast movement ability, is good at chasing, consumes 3000 Soul Points to spawn one.

[Vine Whisker Demon: S-Rank soldier, average attack, extremely high defense, able to use demonized vine whiskers to restrict any ground unit, consumes 3,000 Soul Points to spawn one.

Current Soul Points: 370

Soul Points were obtained by killing creatures.

Li Xiang had only killed a group of buffalos before. Based on the average soul strength, one had contributed 10 Soul Points.

If he wanted to recruit an S-Rank soldier, he would have to kill a total of 300.

Li Xiang was helpless.

How could there be so many monsters in the safety zone for him to kill?

Fortunately, there was a consolation prize.

A new demon was being spawned.

The first time a succubus appeared, it was a Boss-Rank unit that could crush everything.

What kind of surprise would the second time bring him?

Li Xiang was looking forward to it.

Half an hour had become extremely long at this time.

However, he had a good way to pass the time.

Li Xiang wanted to come to the place where the barbarians worked hard.

They were very efficient. Under the effect of the Great Construction, in just a short while, ten houses had taken shape.

Li Xiang was not here to inspect the work. He stepped forward and said, "Bart! Sam called you an idiot. Let me see your reaction as a man!"

"Roar! I want to beat him up!"

Bart went to settle the score with Sam in a huff. He came to the logging area and gave the other party a direct punch.

Sam was not a person who would not fight back. He did not even question why the other party hit him. He just raised his leg and kicked!

Wonderful!

n0𝐕𝑬𝑙𝓊𝔰𝗯.𝚌0𝗆

Li Xiang laid down and watched the show.

Carl was speechless.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

When Li Xiang heard the news of the successful spawning of the demon, he immediately got up and left.

At the same time, he did not forget to ask Carl to clean up the mess. He did not want those two idiots to fight endlessly.

Outside the Demon Lair, a black gas also landed in front of Li Xiang and gradually condensed into a form.

The second demon was somewhat special.

It was a floating ball. Its entire body was scarlet. There were two cracks on the front, one big and one small.

[Eye of Insight] (Special Unit)

Quality: SS

Race: Demon

Growth Rate: 9

Rank: 1

Attack: None

Defense: ???

HP: ???

Skills: [Contemplation, [Absolute Defense, [Spell Rebound, [Eye of Six Paths]

…

SS-Rank Special Unit!

The Demon Lair did not disappoint him. It was so generous.

However, this thing did not have any attack power. Its defense and HP were also in a state where they could not be seen. Li Xiang did not know what its uses were.

The skill was a little complicated, so Li Xiang could only click on the details to see the explanation.

[Contemplation: Every time you use the skill, you will fall into contemplation until your energy is fully charged.

[Absolute Defense: Passive skill. Your entire body is covered in a light film. It is not easy to receive spiritual damage.

[Spell Rebound: Uses the main eye in the center to amplify and return the attack.

[Eye of Six Paths: Splits into multiple sub-bodies, allowing accurate insight into the surrounding information, quickly understanding resources and danger.

Overall, it was a support-type demon.

Although it did not have any combat ability, Li Xiang was already very satisfied.

What did he need to care about the most in this Myriad World Continent?

Soldiers strength? Resources?

None of them.

In this world, what he needed to be wary of the most were the dangers that lurked around him all the time and everywhere!

The Eye of Six Paths skill just happened to give Li Xiang the ability to see ahead, allowing him to stay one step ahead of the disaster.

At this moment, the large crack of the Eye of Insight slowly opened, revealing the pitch-black pupils inside.

"Greetings… Demon… Lord…"

The voice was a little tender and delicate. Upon closer inspection, it came from a small crack.

He did not expect the Eye of Insight to have such a contrasting side. As a demon, it had a voice that was not very ferocious.

"Introduce yourself to me," Li Xiang said calmly.

"Yes… Demon Lord…"

The Eye of Insight began to describe with a lisp.

It turned out that this thing belonged to the eye demon category.

The eye demon had almost the strongest offensive ability among soldiers of the same level. Not only could it bewitch people with its large eyeball, but it could also release a powerful ray attack.

However, the one before him was a little special. It preferred to focus and meditate, so it had become the [Eye of Insight].

It called itself a scholar and knew everything.

After figuring out the use of the Eye of Insight, Li Xiang immediately gave the order.

"Go and investigate all the places outside the territory. If there's any news, inform me."

"Yes, my Supreme Demon Lord!"

The Eye of Insight was as loyal as the succubus.

It immediately used [Eye of Six Paths].

Immediately, its body began to crumble and split into hundreds of [Small Eye of Insight]. They scattered in all directions and rushed to the edge of the territory at an extremely fast speed.

It looked like it could obtain a lot of information at once.

It could scout out the situation around the territory.

Subsequently, Li Xiang wanted it to pay attention to some resources. Once there were any findings, it would immediately report them.

In the end, the Eye of Insight did not react at all.

Only then did he realize that the Eye of Insight's main body, which had already shrunk a lot, was already in a state of focus under the influence of the first skill, [Contemplation].

If he wanted to wake it up, he had to wait until it was fully charged.

Li Xiang was very troubled.

If that was the case, what could the Eye of Insight do even if it received any news?

It won't be able to report at all!

Chapter 10: The Wonders of the World, the Ancient Well of Darkness!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was just as he had imagined.

Not long after, a part of the eye demon's nerves that had been exposed after the sub-bodies had been stripped of its main body suddenly began to throb incessantly as if it was saying something.

But Li Xiang was not the roundworm in its stomach.

Who knew what this thing was saying?

There was nothing he could do.

Due to the special ability of the second demon, he had to personally make a trip and call the succubus back.

He wanted to see if she, who was also a demon, could read the information of the eye demon.

The succubus gently placed her hand on the beating nerve.

A wisp of black gas rose and floated above the eye demon. It gradually gathered and formed a pitch-black vortex.

The vortex spun faster and faster. Suddenly, a red bolt of lightning streaked across the vortex and split it apart. Then, an image appeared from the inside.

It looked like the first view of the small eye demon.

"Intruders!"

A sharp voice came from the inside. As the line of sight moved, two creatures with crimson skin and sharp ears and noses appeared in the image.

They were short in stature and held large sticks with stone spikes in their hands. They looked fierce.

Most importantly, they were not wearing any clothes.

Their privates were exposed in front of everyone.

The succubus snorted and turned her head away.

These should be the goblins that Carl had mentioned.

The two goblins held the spiked clubs and swung them at the small eye demon. With a snap, the scene was cut off.

"Let's change to the other side." Li Xiang looked at the succubus.

The succubus continued to press her hands on the small eye demon's twitching nerves, but this time, she would not look at the vortex.

Just looking at these ugly things would dirty her eyes.

Soon, the image lit up.

This time, it was the scene of the small eye demon hiding at the top of a tree.

Below them were groups of goblins charging forward, attacking a simple village surrounded by a fence.

This village did not even have a decent house, and there were a group of cute cat-eared ladies guarding it. How could they resist the invasion of hundreds of goblins?

In just a moment, the entire village was destroyed, and all the cat-eared ladies were captured alive.

The next moment.

The goblins stripped the cat-eared ladies naked and hung them on a tree, binding their hands. At the same time, they tied their legs to the ends of a wooden stick, not allowing them to close.

After that, a few goblins stepped forward and used their dirty hands to caress their bodies, taking turns to vent their bestial desires.

The painful and despairing voices of over a hundred cat-eared ladies were heard from the screen, causing Li Xiang to frown slightly.

This race was truly disgusting.

Although the succubus didn't say anything, a hint of disgust appeared in her eyes.

She believed that if a goblin appeared in front of her, she would not hesitate to kill him.

As for rescuing this group of pitiful cat-eared ladies, she had never thought about it.

As a qualified demon, she would not put herself in the shoes of anyone other than the Demon Lord, nor would she have any senseless sympathy.

And Li Xiang had no intention of being a hero.

Such things were countless in the Myriad World Continent. It might happen every minute and every second. With his current strength, he was not qualified to care about it.

Moreover, the eye demon was in such a state.

It was indeed somewhat difficult to deal with such a huge race with only the succubus and ten barbarians.

However, looking at the direction of this group of goblins, it seemed that they were planning to expand their territory to his side.

He had to make preparations early.

Perhaps, the danger of the beast tide that would happen on the third day once the novice protection period ends would be this group of goblins!

At this moment, the eye demon's nerves jumped again.

Li Xiang gave a look. The succubus understood and obediently switched the scene for him.

This time, it had nothing to do with the goblins.

It was one of the small eye demons that had discovered an ancient well in the depths of the forest. There seemed to be unique energy spreading out from it.

And the territory of this ancient well happened to be an ownerless land.

And it wasn't far from his place.

Li Xiang immediately planned to go over and take a look.

Danger and opportunity coexisted.

This thing might be useful to him.

At that moment, Li Xiang had Carl carry the eye demon, and they went out with the succubus.

He ordered the other barbarians to continue building residences, and the group of four headed south.

Soon, after passing through the barrier of the protected zone, they entered the neutral zone.

The only creatures they could meet here were neutral.

As long as they were lucky enough, they would not be attacked by them.

If they were unlucky, when they encountered such high-level and ferocious beasts, a big battle was inevitable.

Today, the goddess of luck seemed to be on Li Xiang's side.

The journey was peaceful. After passing through two territories, they arrived at their destination very smoothly.

When they saw the ancient well emitting a dark purple aura with their own eyes, an intoxicating light appeared in the succubus's eyes.

"This aura… is so comfortable… it seems to be able to replenish my strength."

"Really?"

Li Xiang was slightly surprised. Why didn't he feel anything?

"I wouldn't dare to deceive the Demon Lord." The succubus had a sincere expression.

Li Xiang turned his head to look at the eye demon in Carl's arms. To his surprise, the eye demon actually woke up from its deep thoughts.

"Ah! What a comfortable energy!"

It exclaimed and sensed its own condition. "I seem to be able to use my ability again. Eh, didn't I have to sleep for three days and three nights in the past?"

It seemed that this was really the work of the ancient well.

Only Carl's body was trembling.

"L-Lord… this aura… is so terrifying… can I step back a little…"

Li Xiang gave this fellow a strange look. He was feeling fine, so how could a big man like him not be able to stand it?

However, he still said, "Alright, you can go first."

"Thank you, Lord!"

As if he had been pardoned, Carl hurriedly ran out without turning back.

Suddenly, a system bell rang.

[Ding! The world's first wonder (Ancient Well of Darkness (S-Rank)) has been discovered. Congratulations, Ruler Li Xiang, for obtaining the permanent ownership of this wonder (it can be conquered and change ownership). The region's culture has reached the first place, and the "Profound Foundation" achievement has been unlocked. A weapon that can adapt to your soldiers is obtained, and the soldier's ability can be strengthened once!]

n0𝓋𝗲𝑙𝓤𝐬𝔅.𝒸0𝔪

Li Xiang was stunned.

It wasn't because of other things.

But because of the system's prompt…

It was global!

Chapter 11: The Eye Demon's Exclusive Weapon, [Demon Seed, and Fission Rebound!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The regional chat instantly exploded.

"Boss Li Xiang! The eternal God!"

"Boss Li Xiang! I want to have your babies!"

"Boss Li Xiang, do you still need a leg accessory on your coattail! Ah? You don't need it anymore, then do you mind having another bootlicker?"

The world channel also exploded!

"What the hell? What did I see? Boss Li Xiang is causing trouble again?"

"One of the S-Rank wonders of the world. Damn it, I don't know what effect it has, but I'll be a sour grape first!"

"Damn it, are you for real? I'm still searching for resources in the territory, and the boss has already developed to the point of expanding the cultural foundation?"

"A global system announcement, do you think it's fake?"

"Could it be that this particular wonders of the world just happens to be within his territory? How could he go outside the protection zone the next day? Didn't a big shot who had an initial S-Rank soldier try it yesterday? It didn't work at all."

"If none of us can do it, it doesn't mean that Boss Li Xiang can't do it. So what if it's just an S-Rank Elite-Rank unit? Who knows, maybe Boss Li Xiang has an SSS-Rank!"

"Scram, what SSS? Why don't you say God-Rank? There's a limit to bragging about others, right? Currently, the best starting talent announced in the entire world is an S-Rank. If you want to advance to SS, you'll have to spend countless resources, not to mention SSS. Do you even know what the chances of drawing SSS are? And you're saying it so casually?"

"The boss keeps a low profile and doesn't want to tell you guys. What's the problem with that? Hmm?"

…

The regional chat was filled with people fawning and bootlicking. They wished they could type a few more eye-catching words to attract the attention of Li Xiang, the big shot.

Meanwhile, the world chat channel was filled with endless arguments. Countless people were divided into two camps; one side was praising, and the other side was trampling.

Perhaps it was because the price of beef was too expensive.

In general, more people thought that Li Xiang was just lucky.

Some people even called Li Xiang an eye-catching clown, saying that the system announcement was a false report and that the ranking data was bugged.

Although this kind of idiotic comment didn't hold water, some people still said it.

After all, no one in this world wanted others to be better than them. They were not in the same region, so they didn't have any conflicts of interest. Naturally, they wouldn't be like the group of people in the region who would fawn and be a bootlicker.

If one were to insult others, one would be able to let himself, who was not having a good time, gain a sense of satisfaction.

Li Xiang completely ignored these comments. These people were too pathetic.

When the beast tide arrived, it would be the first round of purging.

Only those who could survive would have the right to speak.

He began to check the effects of the Ancient Well of Darkness.

[Ancient Well of Darkness (S)]

Type: Wonders of the World

Status: Not in effect (It's not near the main base or not within your territory)

Wonder's Effect —

[Dark Corruption: Able to convert other specific types of soldiers into dark types.

[Dark Recharge: Able to recharge dark-type soldiers at high speed.

Note: Dark types include, but are not limited to demon types, vampires, skeletons, ghouls, ghost-type, and other types of soldiers.

No wonder the eye demon was able to recover. It was because of the Dark Recharge.

If that was the case, then this wonder would be a natural match for his demon army!

However, there was a problem.

This thing could not take effect. There was no way for this effect to exist in the territory all the time.

According to the hint, in order for this wonder's effect to work on him, one of two conditions had to be met.

First: the main base must be built here.

Second: the territory of the well had to be annexed by his territory.

The first condition was impossible. After all, the mountain where he was born was already very good, and the Demon Lair had already reached Rank 2.

If he dismantled it and relocated it, the succubus and eye demon would probably disappear along with it.

If he summoned it again, he might not be able to get such a high-quality demon.

He could only choose the second condition.

However, there was another problem.

When they came to this land, they had bypassed a mine.

And that mine was the area that the goblins occupied.

If they wanted to annex this area of the Ancient Well of Darkness, they had to clear out the area occupied by the goblins in the middle and occupy it at the same time!

Li Xiang hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he could not resist the temptation of the Ancient Well of Darkness and decided to go all out!

It just so happened that there was a reward for increasing the strength of the soldiers when the culture category reached the first place. He would not stop until he was done, and it shall be used on the succubus!

[Ding, your succubus has been upgraded recently, it cannot evolve its skill again.]

Alright, there was actually a limit, so he would give it to the eye demon!

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Eye of Insight's exclusive weapon – Demon Seed!]

[Please choose the ability that the Eye of Insight needs to level up!]

[Contemplation, [Absolute Defense, [Spell Rebound, [Eye of Six Paths]!

Li Xiang hesitated for a moment.

There was no need to level up the first two skills, and the Eye of Six Paths was already very good. It was estimated that even if it was strengthened once, it would only increase the number of small eye demons that had split out, and the benefits would not be high.

The eye demon only had [Spell Rebound, which could be used to deal damage, so it was better to make it stronger.

That would be it!

[Hint: [Spell Rebound] has been leveled up to [Fission Rebound]. The rebound is no longer limited to the main eye in the center. When the Eye of Insight is split into small eye demons, each small eye demon will increase the damage of the attack by the opponent and rebound it, as well as release enough blazing light to blind the enemy.n0𝓋𝗲𝑙𝓤𝐬𝔅.𝒸0𝔪

Holy crap!

Li Xiang widened his eyes. He did not make the wrong choice!

As expected of an SS-Rank demon. Its skills were not much weaker than the succubus's.

In this way, he would have an extremely wide range of counter-attack-type skills.

It was equivalent to the more the opponent attacked, the more painful the damage!

Good stuff!

He liked it!

After checking the attributes of the Demon Seed, it became even wilder.

[Demon Seed] (exclusive to the Eye of Insight)

Grade: Legendary

Equip Level: 1

Characteristics: All skill levels 1!

Additional Effect: Every time you use your ability, you will receive a 10% boost, the upper limit is 300%, and it lasts for 2 hours!

Exclusive Characteristics: When the Eye of Insight is used, it can extract the soul force of the creature until it dies!

Chapter 12: Initiating an Attack on the Goblin's Lair!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Demon Seed, an exclusive weapon, had a bit of a special attribute.

It was different from the Flame Whip.

It didn't have any attack and attribute bonuses, only pure ability bonuses.

Even so, it could still give enough bonuses to the Eye of Insight.

With the increase in skill level, its power would be even stronger!

Moreover, it would also have a percentage increase in the ability's boost attribute, allowing its damage output to rise to a whole new level!

Li Xiang could even imagine the scene where the eye demon would go and find trouble with the goblin tribe after it had stacked up to 300%. When the other party throws a stone over, it would use Fission Rebound and return a nuclear bomb to them instead.

Hmph! Fair and just!

It's very reasonable!

After the eye demon obtained it, it exclaimed, "Isn't this the legendary treasure of the ancient times in the tribe? It's actually in the hands of the Demon Lord. Oh my God."

Li Xiang grinned. "Eye demon, it just so happens that we have the Ancient Well of Darkness recharge to help us. We have to use our abilities a few more times to maximize the damage!"

The eye demon was confused. "Demon Lord, are you making a scholar like me practice magic power? Oh… This is too difficult…"

"I didn't ask you to learn magic. Just do it. I have my own plans." Li Xiang glared at it.

The succubus also glanced over. Why did this new companion seem to be a little disobedient?

Should she teach him a lesson?

The eye demon's body trembled. As if sensing danger, it hurriedly released its skills.

With the addition of the Demon Seed, it could already summon more than two hundred small eye demons at one go.

In a short while, all of them spread out and continued to expand their horizons, clearing out the fog of war outside of their territory.

Li Xiang waited by the side.

At the same time, he told the succubus to help him shift the perspective of the other small eye demons to further understand the goblin tribe's situation.

The small eye demons were very powerful.

Under their fearless exploration, the fog of war near Li Xiang's territory was almost completely uncovered.

Moreover, he also obtained information on the location of the goblin tribe, the types of soldiers, and the number of goblins.

This was his confidence in winning!

Goblins had a total of four types of soldiers. They were divided into goblin infantry, goblin archers, goblin cavalry, and goblin shamans.

The strength of their abilities ranged from low to high. Among them, the goblin shamans usually had the status of elders and had the authority to lead.

They even knew some superficial spells.

That was the so-called skill.

However, to the succubus and the others, it was nothing.

It was just that there were too many of them, and it was not easy to deal with them.

But after Li Xiang observed for a long time, the weakness of the goblins was very obvious.

It was lust!

They were too promiscuous!

It was just nightfall, and the sky had not completely darkened yet. Many goblins on duty had already rushed to the cave excitedly. They pulled out the cat-eared ladies that they had captured in the afternoon and abused them in the grass.

"No wonder the reproduction rate is so fast."

Li Xiang sneered.

How could it not be fast if they were copulating every day?

But at this time, it was often the time when their guard was the lowest.

It could be said that the entire goblin tribe was having fun, doing all sorts of improper things. There were no exceptions from shamans to infantry!

n0𝗏𝐞𝓵𝔲𝔰𝒷.𝔠0𝑀

If they attacked at night at this time, would they be able to withstand it?

…

It was deep in the night.

Four figures were like ghosts, moving through the forest as if they had become one with the darkness.

"The goblin sentry is in front."

Li Xiang swept his gaze over. "Succubus, you go."

"Yes! My Supreme Demon Lord!"

The succubus accepted the order and left.

Li Xiang's old face turned red. He liked this title!

Carl was deep in thought.

Next time, should he add some words like supreme, ruler of a myriad world, king of all gods before addressing the lord.

In front, the succubus was very fast.

She was already dressed in tight black clothes, but now she had transformed into the Queen of Darkness…

Oh no, she was still a girl.

But even though she was so young, her attacks were still quick and decisive.

In just a moment, the heads of the two goblins who were on top of the cat-eared lady had been cut off.

Fresh blood sprayed onto the cat-eared lady's white body.

She looked at the headless corpse in front of her and instinctively cried out loud. Then, she quickly covered her mouth.

"You're safe. Leave quickly."

The succubus spoke indifferently.

Her expression was cold. She did not have the warm and respectful attitude she had when she faced Li Xiang.

The cat-eared lady's delicate body trembled as she pushed away from the goblin that was still pressing on her body. She pulled the dirty thing out of her body, knelt down, and bowed deeply to the succubus.

She had never thought that she would be saved by a seven or eight-year-old little girl.

Then, a tall figure came into view.

Carl took off the animal skin clothes on his upper body and handed them to her.

He gave a simple and honest smile. "Are you alright? Hurry up and leave. We can't stay here any longer."

"Thank… Thank you…"

The cat-eared lady came back to her senses and hugged the animal skin tightly. She gritted her teeth and looked at the cave. "I can't leave… My tribesmen are still inside…"

Li Xiang also walked over, followed by the Eye of Insight.

"I'm here to find trouble with the goblin tribe. If there's a fight later, I won't be able to guarantee the safety of your tribesmen. So, you're already lucky to be able to keep your life. Go out and leave a spark for your tribe."

The cat-eared lady didn't say anything.

With just a few people, it was completely unrealistic to think of defeating thousands of goblins.

But there was nothing she could do.

This man was right. It was better to leave a spark for the tribe.

She looked at them deeply with gratitude and silently limped into the darkness. Her figure gradually disappeared.

They were all warriors!

"Let's go and find trouble with them. We'll go to the deepest area first and kill the leader first."

Li Xiang snapped his fingers. Carl and the succubus took the lead. He and the Eye of Insight followed closely behind.

Most of the goblins were in the cave.

Their way of life was also relatively primitive. A large group of people lived in the cave. They spread hay on the ground and use it as a bed. It was very simple.

The cave was very dark. Other than the goblins' panting and howling, there were also the screams of female creatures.

Demons were born with excellent eyesight. They were originally a race that belonged to darkness. Walking in this place was no different from walking in the daytime.

Li Xiang could also be considered a demon lord, so he would receive a certain bonus. After adapting to it for a while, it would be easy for him.

It was even more so for the Eye of Insight. Such a dark environment was more suitable for it to hide.

Only Carl was a little uncomfortable.

The goblins were completely unaware and immersed in their many-on-one game.

However, at this moment.

A ray of light lit up in the depths of the cave.

"Uza!"

A loud shout.

It was the goblin language.

Through the system's translation, it meant that someone had come.

The surrounding movements instantly fell silent.

It was visible to the naked eye.

The goblins were already looking at them. When they saw the succubus, their eyes lit up.

A figure wearing animal skin and holding a long banner suddenly appeared in the depths.

It was the goblin shaman!

The leader of the goblin tribe!

Chapter 13: The First Battle, and the Succubus Leveled up!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Xiang narrowed his eyes.

To defeat the enemy, one must first capture the leader!

"Succubus, control him!"

The succubus knew that time was pressing, so she did not speak this time. She placed her hand on her lips and made a kissing gesture.

"Mwah."

Pink heart-shaped energy was generated, and she accurately aimed it at the shaman.

[Kiss of Appeasement]!

The succubus's single target control skill!

It could use its own charm to control the target unit!

The shaman became sluggish on the spot. His body swayed from side to side and his eyes were blurry. He was completely subdued by the charm of the succubus.

As expected of a succubus!

She had the ability to charm all living beings at such a young age. What would happen when she grew up in the future?

"Let the shaman order these goblins not to be on guard. We are here as guests."

Li Xiang thought of a way to annex this goblin tribe.

The succubus immediately used her ability to communicate with the shaman.

The shaman was also very obedient and told all the goblins not to move. They were friends.

In the end, the goblins did not react.

They turned a deaf ear to the shaman's words.

Pairs of lecherous eyes stared at the succubus's petite body, filled with evil desires.

"What a perfect gift."

"Since we're friends, you wouldn't mind letting me enjoy such a beautiful body, right?"

"Ga ga! I want to possess her soft mouth!"

"Get out of my way. I'm the only one who can experience her tightness!"

"First come, first served, charge!"

Amidst the howls, countless goblins swarmed over, causing the situation to go out of control.

The succubus's eyes were filled with anger. She raised her hand and grabbed the Flame Whip, unleashing Flame Flogging towards the goblins who had just spoken lewd words.

The flames lit up, carrying scorching energy as they swept out in all directions.

The goblin infantry fell one after another. Their naked bodies were like paper in front of the succubus's high attack power.n0𝓋𝐞𝓵𝗎𝗌𝕓.𝑐0𝑀

Unfortunately, the few goblins who had spoken dirty words were too far away, so her skill did not hit them.

However, this round had harvested a large number of souls, and they were all absorbed by the succubus.

[System Notification: Your succubus has successfully leveled up to Rank 2!]

How did she level up just like that?

Li Xiang raised his head to look.

The succubus was bathed in white light, and her entire body began to undergo subtle changes, growing bit by bit.

After she had completely absorbed the souls, the light dissipated and when she reappeared, she had already transformed into a twelve or thirteen-year-old teenager.

She was less tender and became more beautiful, and she was filled with youthful vitality.

Instantly, the goblins became even crazier.

However, they also knew that the succubus was not someone that could be easily controlled. The infantrymen dispersed one after another, not giving the succubus the chance to attack again.

Immediately after, a row of goblin archers appeared behind them. They were holding something that looked like a cannon barrel. With a bang, they shot out large nets, trapping the succubus.

The succubus tried to use Flame Flogging to whip away these annoying things. However, as soon as the flames landed on these nets, they were quickly extinguished.

These things seemed to be immune to the damage of the fire attribute.

The whip's movement was also restricted, so the damage was greatly reduced.

In Li Xiang's field of vision, there was a toughness bar above the net, which had only lost less than one-tenth of its original value. Only by destroying this toughness bar would he be able to save the succubus.

It would be very difficult for her to break through the restriction from inside.

Carl roared angrily and slashed left and right with the logging axe in his hand. He helped Li Xiang clear the goblins that were swarming up around him, making him unable to go over to support her.

But without the succubus's deterrence.

Even if Carl could kill one goblin with his axe, it would be nothing to the goblins.

The wave-like goblins completely ignored Carl, the mountain-like barbarian. The infantry closed in, and the cavalry circled around to block their path.

A group of archers was still hiding in the darkness, eyeing them like a tiger eyeing its prey, bringing them great pressure.

"Eye demon, what are you waiting for!"

Li Xiang snorted coldly.

The eye demon hiding in the darkness was shocked. It hurriedly shook its body and split into hundreds of small eye demons.

The eye demon itself did not have the ability to attack.

But after it had its own exclusive weapon, it could continuously absorb the souls of its targets.

More than 200 eye demons formed a defensive line, guarding around the succubus and Li Xiang. They shot out black rays in unison, piercing into the brains of the goblins who wanted to break in.

In just a few seconds, they completely lost their ability to move and collapsed weakly.

A 300% increase was indeed strong!

However, this ability did have a cooldown time and could not be unleashed indefinitely. The small eye demons also fell into a short period of weakness.

The goblins were initially shocked by this sudden battle situation, but after realizing that the eye demons did not continue to attack, they swarmed over.

Li Xiang frowned.

No! There were too many of them!

The archers had already begun their attack.

After a round of volley.

Carl's HP had already dropped by a large chunk.

Many small eye demons were also surrounded and beaten to death by the infantry that had rushed up.

The strongest succubus was even restricted by the net, and she would not be able to come out for a while.

Was he going to fail miserably when he brought a top-rank army with him, only to be defeated by a bunch of bottom-tier monsters?

Li Xiang clenched his fist. He could not accept such an outcome!

He turned his gaze and saw the shaman that was being controlled.

An idea flashed through his mind. That's it!

"Succubus, get that shaman to attack these goblins!"

The succubus immediately understood. A red light flashed in her eyes and she began to give the order.

"Argh!"

The shaman let out a sharp cry, and his voice became louder and louder.

[Battle Notification: The Goblin Shaman has activated the skill Noise Wave!]

Many goblins felt a splitting headache from the impact of this skill's sound wave. They could not help but cover their ears in an attempt to relieve some of the pain.

However, what followed was an even more shrill cry as well as a blinding red light.

[Battle Notification: Eye of Insight has activated the skill Fission Rebound, absorbing the damage from the Noise Wave. It has successfully increased the rebound by 1.4 times. It has also released the light of the fallen. It will last 10 seconds!]

The dark cave suddenly became as bright as day.

The goblins were collectively restricted by the skill. They held their heads in their hands and squatted on the ground, their HP continuously decreasing.

However, the lethality was still somewhat insufficient.

After all, this skill was calculated based on the attack power of the shaman. There was no way to kill all of them in one go.

However, this was already enough!

Li Xiang immediately gave the order, "Now! Carl, save the succubus. We have to hurry!"

"Yes! My Lord!"

Carl threw the axe to the ground and clenched his fists.

Then, a red glow appeared on his thick body.

All the muscles in his body began to expand rapidly, and his blood vessels bulged. His body grew taller by a lot.

He went berserk!

Carl's eyes were red. He grabbed the net that was trapping the succubus and pulled hard!

Rip!

An insignificant tearing sound rang out, but it successfully opened the path of destruction for the goblin tribe.

Chapter 14: The Succubus and the Eye Demon's Combined Attack Obtained a Victory!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After the succubus escaped, her eyes were ice-cold. She held the Flame Whip in her hand, and flames rose from her body. She was like a real fire god.

She was enraged.

As a noble demon, she was actually trapped by a group of small goblins.

And it was in front of the supreme demon lord.

If she acted so incompetent, would the demon lord look at her again in the future?

"Hmph!"

The succubus snorted coldly. Endless firepower was gathered in the long whip, emitting a destructive power.

At the tip of the whip, the head of a huge dragon even materialized, roaring at the goblins in front.

Li Xiang suddenly said, "Succubus, use Flame Flogging to hit those small eye demons."

The succubus was stunned. Weren't these goblins their enemies?

Although she didn't know what the demon lord was thinking, she still did it without any doubts.

The Flame Whip was swung out fiercely, and flames shot out, covering all the small eye demons.

[Battle Notification: The Six-Winged Succubus has used the skill Flame Flogging on the Eye of Insight, dealing 0 damage!]

[Battle Notification: The Eye of Insight has been attacked by Flame Flogging. Due to the effect of Fission Rebound, it has successfully absorbed all of the energy, increasing the rebound by 2 times. It has also released light of the fallen, lasting for 10 seconds!]

Li Xiang's eyes lit up.

This was the inspiration he got when the eye demon absorbed the shaman's skill.

If Fission Rebound could absorb the succubus's attack and increase the rebound, it would definitely be a destructive existence for the goblins present.

Originally, he was just holding on to the mentality of giving it a try. At most, he would lose some small eye demons. With the Ancient Well of Darkness around, it would be as if there were no losses for the eye demons.

However, he did not expect to succeed in one go!

Rumble!

The violent fire energy had already become the death god of the goblin tribe.

Their eyes had already been burned by the Eye of Insight's light of the fallen, and they were temporarily blinded.

It could be said that without knowing it, their bodies were instantly melted by the high temperature, and they died without a trace.

In just a few breaths' time, the goblin tribe had lost more than half of its members.

Only the goblins at the entrance and the depths of the cave were spared.

Unfortunately, the female creatures that were abused by them were also doomed.

Li Xiang was unmoved.

In such a situation, saving people was unrealistic.

He was not a saint. He could not risk the lives of his subordinates, the succubus, Carl, and the eye demon for these unrelated creatures.

Because of this, these lives were converted into Soul Points and became nutrients for the succubus.

Her beautiful face changed again, becoming more mature and more charming.

Although she had not leveled up, she was not far from becoming an adult.

The power of Flame Flogging was astonishing.

With the Eye of Insight's skill and the five-fold increase of the exclusive weapon, not only did she kill a large number of goblins, but she also created a deep pit in the cave, revealing the not-so-spacious passages inside.

The lair was completely destroyed.

And below, it should be the mine that the goblins occupied.

Li Xiang glanced over and saw that it was full of iron ore, which had not been transported away yet. They were casually piled up in the mine tunnel.

Next, it was a massacre banquet.

Li Xiang wanted to take advantage of the goblins that were still blinded, to have Carl and the eye demon block the entrance and kill all the goblins!

He led the succubus to the depths of the cave and arrived in front of a few goblins who were lying on the ground and wailing.

These were the few who had spoken indecently in the beginning.

"Succubus, they have insulted you, so you should be the one to end their lives," Li Xiang said calmly.

"Demon Lord… Thank you…"

The succubus felt a warmth in her heart. She did not expect that the noble demon lord would care about her feelings all the time.

Immediately, her admiration and respect for Li Xiang deepened.

Li Xiang smiled. "Let's do it."

"Okay!"

The succubus nodded heavily. A cluster of flames appeared on her fingertip, and she casually threw it out.

The flames split in mid-air and landed at the feet of the goblins.

Whoosh!

The flames soared and directly covered their calves.

The goblins cried even more miserably.

But the succubus's eyes did not have a hint of pity. It even deliberately controlled the spread of the flames.

Only when the flames burned their calves into charcoal did the flames rise bit by bit.

Most of the creatures in the Myriad World Continent had tenacious vitality.

In Li Xiang's eyes, it meant that they would never die unless their HP became empty.

The goblins had about 700 to 800 HP. After being burned by the controlled flames, it reduced their HP by 10 points every five seconds.

To them, it was definitely a long torture.

Li Xiang glanced at the succubus.

It was as expected from a demon of the demon race. Its revenge was indeed ruthless!

It was believed that these few minutes were definitely the most difficult time for these goblins in their lives.

Finally, when the flame rose to their chests, their HP finally dropped to zero. After a final howl, they offered up their souls.

The entrance of the cave was basically cleaned up. Carl and the Eye of Insight took care of all the goblin cavalry.

Now, only the goblin shaman and a portion of the archers were left.

Carl held a stone axe covered in blood and stared at them.

As long as the Lord gave the word, he would definitely clean up this group of despicable and disgusting creatures!

The 100 goblins did not dare to move recklessly.

In a situation where the tide had already turned, archers with low defense and low HP were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Not to mention that the succubus had just used extremely cruel methods to burn and kill a few of their compatriots.

Now, in their eyes, the succubus was no longer the female plaything that they used to vent their bestial desire, but she became a god of slaughter!

A god of slaughter with ruthless means!

For a moment, even the sound of breathing could not be heard in the silent cave.

"Eye demon."

Li Xiang's voice suddenly sounded.

"Honorable Demon Lord, please give me your orders!"

The Eye of Insight immediately floated forward, waiting for instructions.

Li Xiang pointed at those goblins. "Take away all the souls of these idiots. I want them to become idiotic slaves, mining for me in the mine for the rest of their lives!"

n0𝒱𝓔𝓵𝑢𝓈𝕓.𝒸0𝓂

"Yes, Sir!"

The eye demon immediately took action.

The exclusive weapon, the Demon Seed, had the ability to extract souls.

If a soul was completely extracted, it would naturally lead to the death of a creature.

However, if these goblins' souls were half extracted, they would become puppets controlled by others because their souls were incomplete, and they would not have complete self-awareness.

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Soon, the eye demon finished its order.

[Ding, congratulations, ruler. You have successfully subdued a goblin unit x 137. It can be used for gathering, mining, and combat. Loyalty: 0%!]

These goblins were all idiots. They would listen to anyone's words. Therefore, a loyalty of zero would not cause these goblins to start a mutiny.

As long as he guarded the entrance of the cave and did not allow others to enter, these goblins would always listen to his orders.

Very good!

The mineral resources were also available!

Li Xiang nodded his head in satisfaction.

This was only the second day after the start of this king's game. He already had two major resources, water, and minerals. He believed that his future development would be much smoother and much faster than others.

At this moment, the succubus suddenly leaned over and said softly, "Demon Lord, there seems to be something inside the cave. It seems to be… crying."

"Huh?"

Li Xiang looked inside. It was too dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

It was probably a female creature that hadn't been pulled out for intercourse. These goblins couldn't hide any treasures at home.

"Since that's the case, eye demon, go and check it out. If there's anyone, just bring her out."

"Yes!" The eye demon immediately floated towards the depths of the cave.

Li Xiang ordered the goblins to move the iron ore out from the place where it had just been pierced through. The succubus stored it in the Storage Ring, and each trip would earn about five units of iron ore.

Not long after, the eye demon returned.

It brought a female human out.

Her clothes were still intact, and she did not seem to have been violated. Her entire body was muddy, and her face was covered in dust. She looked average, but her pair of blue eyes were very lively, as beautiful as gemstones.

The most eye-catching thing was her golden curly hair.

When he saw this, Li Xiang had already confirmed that the person in front of him was a lord.

She was the same as him, a ruler in this world.

"You… You're Boss Li Xiang?" She said in slight surprise.

Li Xiang raised his eyebrows and asked, "You know me?"

"Who doesn't know you in Region 0042…"

She looked excited. "I knew it… who would appear in this place? Only you have the ability to wander outside the protection zone the next day."

Li Xiang wanted to laugh. "What about you?"

"I'm here for Katie…"

She seemed to have just remembered and hurriedly asked, "Oh right! Boss Li Xiang, have you seen a dog-eared lady here? She was just captured…"

"Who's Katie?" Li Xiang asked in puzzlement. "Another lord? You guys have formed an alliance now?"

She shook her head and said, "No, that dog-eared lady is called Katie. She's also my good friend. She was on a treasure hunt and accidentally entered the goblin's territory and was imprisoned. I originally wanted to see if I could find a chance to save her, but I was discovered by their scouts and was captured together."

Li Xiang was speechless.

Indeed, if one didn't do something stupid, they wouldn't die.

Not surprisingly, that dog-eared lady named Katie was a soldier of this lord.

Risking her life to get out of the protection zone for a basic unit was quite something.

There weren't many lords that were this kind.

Well, it would be even less in the future.

After all, in a world like this, merciful people wouldn't last long.

However, with such a heart, they would definitely be popular.

After chatting for a while, Li Xiang got to know the name of this female lord.

Her name was Sally. She was the person he had previously traded with, the person with a cat head. Her soldier talent was beast-eared ladies.

Currently, she could produce three types of beast-eared lady soldiers.

The dog-eared lady was one of them. She was good at treasure hunting. The [Basic Tool Making Illustration Manual] was found by Katie.

Other than that, there was also the cat-eared lady who was good at healing and the fox-eared lady who was good at negotiating.

The tribe that he had observed through the small eye demon's perspective, which had hundreds of cat-eared ladies, belonged to her. Through the food that she had traded with Li Xiang, she had obtained a large number of resources from others to develop rapidly.

"Why did you create so many cat-eared ladies?"

Li Xiang raised his question.

This kind of army that could only do healing was useless no matter how many there were.

Sally explained, "Yesterday, I established diplomatic relations with a tribe at a neutral territory through the fox-eared ladies. Their leader was injured and could not recover, so I created more cat-eared ladies and prepared to help them treat their leader. This way, at least one of the directions of my territory would be safe.

Li Xiang was suddenly impressed by Sally.

This woman was not hopeless. At least she knew how to make plans for the future. She was just unwilling to sacrifice and could not achieve great things.

"That's a good idea. Unfortunately, you should not have any territory now."

Li Xiang pinched his chin and said, "When I came, I saw a tribe surrounded by a fence being swept up by goblins. All the cat-eared ladies became their exclusive property. None of them escaped."

"Ah…"

As if she was struck by lightning, and her expression was dull. "Isn't there a novice protection period… how could… how could…"

"Perhaps, because you went out. When the lord left, the home was no longer protected." Li Xiang said his guess.

Sally couldn't help but cry. "It's all my fault… I killed them… boohoo…"

"And your good friend Katie, if nothing goes wrong, she just died in my battle to exterminate the goblins." Li Xiang continued.

Sally was sobbing so much that she couldn't speak. It seemed that she really had feelings for these beast-eared ladies.

Li Xiang shook his head. "What do you plan to do next? Wander around? Or find an ownerless territory to rebuild your home?"

"I don't know…" Sally wiped her tears. "My talent doesn't have any combat ability. Even if I improve my quality, I don't have any combat skills. It's very difficult to deal with external enemies. Now that my territory is gone and my resources are gone, I don't know what else I can do. I can only wait for death."

"If you don't mind, you can come to my territory."

Li Xiang took a fancy to the beast-eared lady's support ability, he smiled and said, "Of course, you have to prepare the accommodation and food yourself. I will only provide protection. In return, you have to serve me. To be more precise, you have to submit to me. According to the system's rules, you have to give me 30% of the daily income."

"Is that okay?"

A glimmer of hope appeared in Sally's eyes.

It was only a 30% tribute. Compared to surviving, it was nothing!

Li Xiang raised his hand and sent out the invitation.

n0𝑣𝐄𝓁𝑈𝔰𝑩.𝐜0𝚖

Instantly, Sally received a system notification.

[Ding! Ruler Sally, Demon Lord Li Xiang sent you a subordinate invitation. Do you agree?]

"Yes!"

Chapter 16: Dwarven Manufacturing Technology? S-Rank Territory Attribute, Military Expansion!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After Sally agreed, Li Xiang received the corresponding notification.

When he looked at Sally again, there was an additional panel in front of him, which recorded the various resources and production capacity of Sally's beast-eared lady tribe.

Hmm…

They were all zero at the moment.

The personnel was also zero.

It seemed that he had to divide a region in the territory and let her develop.

This was a good thing.

Li Xiang currently had two pieces of territory in his hands.

Together with the goblins' mine that he had just taken down, that was three pieces.

Once it was connected to the area of the Ancient Well of Darkness, that would be four pieces.

As the size of the territory increased, it became more difficult to defend.

With the current number of soldiers, Li Xiang couldn't defend himself fully.

Once the novice protection period was over and there were foreign invaders, these territories would be easily taken away by others.

It was better to let Sally be responsible for a region.

This way, he only needed to send soldiers to defend. As for how to defend, he would leave it to Sally to worry about.

It was equivalent to the feudal system in ancient times.

Sally was the city lord who had military power.

As the king, Li Xiang didn't need to think about how to govern the city; he only needed to manage these city lords.

However, Li Xiang wasn't able to implement this plan at the moment.

The number of soldiers he could use was too little.

Including the group of silly barbarians, there were only 12 people.

The demon race's manufacturing conditions were too harsh. A soldier cost 3,000 Soul Points, which was an astronomical figure in the early stages.

He didn't know how many Soul Points he would gain from killing over a thousand goblins in this battle.

After he returned, the first thing he would do was to create soldiers!

He would be like Sally, creating soldiers without restrictions!

She was doing it to establish relations, while Li Xiang was doing it to protect his territory!

But now, there was a more important thing waiting for him to do.

n0𝔳𝑬𝐋𝑢𝓈𝚋.𝐂0𝐦

Devour the goblin's core territory!

Bring this territory into the territory of the demons!

This thing was usually in the tribe's residence.

At this moment, Li Xiang led the succubus and Sally along the cave, searching deeper.

Along the way, they obtained many spoils of war.

Among them were a large number of defensive equipment and weapons.

Most of them were simple and crude, and their craftsmanship was about the same as that of the barbarian tribes.

After going through them one by one, they accidentally found a few well-made pieces of equipment, which had special effects just like the net that could trap the succubus.

[Wolf Armor]

Grade: Superior

Defense: 30

Power: 7

Vitality: 5

Equip Level: 5

Enchantment: Able to resist the impact of water-type energy to a certain extent.

…

The armor was pretty decent.

Due to the high equip level of the armor, the additional attributes were even half of that of the Flame Whip.

Li Xiang casually threw it to Carl. "Put this on. It will make you stronger."

"Thank you for your gift, my Lord!"

Carl had no clothes to wear, so he put them on. Sure enough, he felt a power coming from this armor, which made him feel like he had to get it out of his chest.

Most importantly, this equipment also had an enchantment ability.

In the future, if he faced water-type units, not to mention the stats on the attack panel, Carl would be more useful than the succubus, who was restrained by attributes.

This was definitely not something that goblins could make!

Li Xiang was more concerned about this.

If he could obtain this kind of manufacturing technology, then wouldn't the demon army be invincible in the future?

"Eye demon, didn't you call yourself a scholar? Come and see what kind of technology this is made of."

"Hehe! Demon Lord, this is my specialty!"

The eye demon started to speak obscenities and walked forward eagerly. After a simple glance, he said with certainty, "This is the craft of the dwarves!"

"Dwarves?" Li Xiang recalled for a moment. The region of the fog of war that the small eye demons had explored did not seem to have any traces of the dwarves.

"The dwarves seem to be nearby." Sally suddenly said, "But I can't remember where it is. It should be near my original territory."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Xiang said indifferently, "It seems that the goblin tribe has a deal with the dwarven tribe. When the dwarves come to trade again, we will know where they live."

Then, he pointed to the deeper part of the cave. "Let's continue."

"Yes!" Sally nodded.

The group continued to walk inside.

Finally, at the deepest part of the cave, they found the core of the goblin's territory.

Li Xiang started to use his talent's power.

Not long after, the system sent a notification.

[Ding! Congratulations, ruler. You have successfully obtained an enemy territory. Your original ability, Reproduction Machine (C), has been upgraded to Military Expansion (S)!]

[Reproduction Machine (C): Increase the willingness to reproduce.

[Military Expansion (S): Within the territory, the number of soldiers will automatically increase by 100 times for every new type of soldier.

Li Xiang's eyes lit up.

Just now, he was worried that the territory was too big and that there would be no soldiers to guard it.

Now, this solved the problem.

The demon race did not need to consume food to survive, nor did they need any housing, and they could survive as long as they were in the Demon Lair.

The effect of [Military Expansion] did not pose any burden to him at all!

Using it to play with the flow of soldier creations was the best.

After doing all of this, Li Xiang immediately got Carl to temporarily guard the entrance of the cave and brought the others back to the Demon Lair.

The barbarians at home had already completed their mission.

Ten wooden houses were completed easily.

In fact, in a day, they even built a small palace for Li Xiang.

The scale of the palace was dozens of times larger than the wooden house they lived in!

As expected of an S-Rank construction project, its efficiency was simply unrivaled.

Li Xiang was not stingy with his compliments and rewarded them with two units of beef for them to eat and drink as they pleased.

When the barbarian tribe started the bonfire banquet, Li Xiang also went to the Demon Lair to check his Soul Points.

[Demon Lair]

Current Soul Points: 63920!

Chapter 17: Demons,Trade With the Dwarves!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

There were already over 60,000 points!

From the looks of it, a goblin could contribute a little more Soul Points than a buffalo. There were about 50 of them, which helped Li Xiang to accumulate his first batch of soldier creation resources.

"Let's start to create 10 each. There will be 2,000 of them after a hundredfold increase. It should be enough for the time being."

Li Xiang began to operate.

Soon, dense red lights flew out from the Demon Lair one after another and landed on the empty ground in front of him, materializing into terrifying-looking demons.

They knelt down on one knee towards Li Xiang and cupped their fists towards the lord.

"Greetings, Demon Lord!"

The attributes panel of the two demons also popped out.

[Black Wing Demon] (Elite Unit)

Quality: S

Race: Demon

Growth Rate: 7

Rank: 1

Attack: 150-270 (5%)

Defense: 80 (2%)

HP: 1,700 (2%)

Skills: [Rapid Claw, [Bloodthirsty Frenzy, [Light of Destruction]

…

[Vine Whisker Demon] (Elite Unit)

Quality: S

Race: Demon

Growth Rate: 7

Rank: 1

Attack: 100-130 (5%)

Defense: 140 (2%)

HP: 2,000 (2%)

Skills: [Vine Whisker Bind, [Furious Whip, [Fountain of Life]

…

The corners of Li Xiang's mouth curled up. He could not help but laugh.

These two soldiers were really strong!

They were only at Rank 1, and their attributes were already enough to compete with Carl, a Rank 5 elite barbarian unit.

He believed that if he were to let them out, it would definitely cause a bloodbath. It would be like a boss descending, easily destroying a ruler's tribe!

Not to mention, he still had 2,000 of them!

But then again, 2,000 soldiers, was that too many?

Obviously, for a country, it was not much.

In his current territory, it would be very difficult to even surround half of the border.

But was this little?

On the second day of arrival in the Myriad World Continent, it was rare for rulers to have 200 subordinates.

2000 people was definitely not a small number!

When he thought about being able to command so many people, Li Xiang's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Next, it was time to arrange where they would go.

The territory was so big, so naturally, every region had to have troops to patrol.

Guarding was required for three particular places.

The Ancient Well of Darkness, the mine, and the water source.

Li Xiang sent 500 soldiers each. The aerial unit, the Black Wing Demon, and the ground unit, the Vine Whisker Demon, were split in half. He ordered them to guard these three places well.

The demon soldiers did not have any objections and completely listened to Li Xiang's command.

Of the remaining 500 people, Li Xiang left 200 to guard the Demon Lair.

The other 300 people were sent to guard Sally's tribe after dividing up the territory she could control and help to develop.

Of course, there were conditions.

During the guarding period, the casualty rate of these demon soldiers could not exceed 10%.

At the same time, before Sally's novice protection period ended, she had to provide resources to create 100 barbarians and 300 cat-eared ladies to coordinate defense and resist the beast tide.

Sally was suddenly under a lot of pressure and ran to develop overnight.

She believed that with the help of these demon soldiers, it would not be very difficult to achieve the goal.

To build soldiers according to one's respective talents, there had to be a corresponding building.

It was equivalent to a barracks.

In fact, Li Xiang wanted to be able to build these units after merging the core of the territory of the barbarians and goblins. However, he did not have any interest in these soldiers at the moment. Not only did they cost resources, but they also occupied the population.

It was the most suitable task for Sally to do.

Li Xiang yawned.

After working hard all day, it was time to sleep.

It was a good time to experience the palace that the barbarians had built for him.

…

Li Xiang woke up in the morning light.

The succubus and the eye demon were guarding by his side, not leaving at all. They were afraid that a foreign enemy would invade and assassinate the demon lord.

Li Xiang smiled and greeted them.

Then, he briefly washed up. After eating roasted meat for breakfast, he went to Sally's territory to inspect the situation.

After a night of painstaking effort in collecting resources.

Sally rebuilt a village again.

With the efficiency of the Great Construction skill, the originally simple and crude fence was upgraded into wooden stakes that were connected like a small city wall.

Hmm…

It was a bit too much to say that it was a city wall, but it was more like a knockoff.

The barracks to build the beast-eared lady units had also been built.

With the help of 300 demon soldiers, there were already more than a dozen beast-eared ladies living in the village. It was believed that the scale would be several times larger in no time.

Not bad!

This progress was considered very fast.

After today, the novice protection period would be over. When the beast tide invaded, with Sally around, Li Xiang estimated that he would suffer more than twice the difficulty.

The cat-eared lady's healing ability was indispensable.

Now, he only needed to develop steadily and wait for the army to take shape!

At this moment, Carl returned.

"Lord!"

He was panting as he jogged. "I've finally found you. There are a few dwarves who came to the mine. They say they want to trade. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"They're here already?"

Li Xiang did not hesitate. "Let's go. We'll go together."

The succubus and the eye demon followed closely behind.

When they arrived at the mine, they saw that the two dwarves were guarded by more than ten Vine Whisker Demons. They did not dare to move.

Li Xiang stepped forward and sized them up. He asked, "Are you the ones who traded with the goblin tribe? What did they trade?"

"Yes… Yes, Demon Lord."

A dwarf said with a trembling voice, "The goblin tribe used minerals to trade with us for smelting and casting technology, but they were too stupid to learn it, so they traded for weapons and equipment."

Carl couldn't help but snort. "Do you know how many innocent tribes you dwarves have helped the goblins to destroy?"

n0𝔳𝑬𝐋𝑢𝓈𝚋.𝐂0𝐦

"This has nothing to do with us… We dwarves have no choice. This is the only mineral resource in this area. If we don't trade with the goblins, we won't be able to use the skills that we use to survive!"

He spoke in agitation and couldn't help but take two steps forward. He wanted to hug Li Xiang's leg and beg for mercy, but he was treated as a threat. The succubus and the eye demon blocked in front of him. A few Vine Whisker Demons roared at the same time, and the skill's luster appeared.

The dwarf was so scared that he trembled and fell to his knees with a plop. "D-Demon Lord, please don't eat me. My flesh is very sour, and it doesn't taste good at all…"

"I won't eat you."

Li Xiang snapped his fingers.

Following that, a group of goblins brought out iron ores from the mine and placed them in front of the dwarf.

"Bring these ores back. I'll continue to trade that the goblin tribe made with you, and it'll be fair and just."

"This is the deposit. I need weapons that match my race; can you do that?"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 18: Flower Goblins Surrenders, S-Rank Abundant Harvest With 100 Times Growth Rate!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The two dwarves were stunned for a moment and exchanged glances.

The demon tribe wanted to make a deal with them?

And it's fair and just?

Who'd believe it!n0𝒱𝓮𝓛𝑈𝗌𝑏.𝑐0𝑚

This demon brother should take a look at these goblins with dull eyes before he lies.

He had already enslaved them, so how could he use the words "fair and just"?

The two dwarves were speechless and panicked.

They were afraid that if they didn't agree, their bodies would be torn apart by a few demons in the next second.

But if they agreed…

They were afraid that their race would follow the same path as the goblins and become the slaves of the demons.

"Take these ores back and tell your lord about it while you're at it. Let him think about it."

Li Xiang knew that they couldn't make the decision. He smiled and said, "As you just said, this is the only mine in this region. If you don't trade with me, what will you do to survive?"

This was a threat!

A proper threat!

The two dwarves immediately confirmed their thoughts.

The demons wanted to enslave them!

The demons wanted the dwarves to make good equipment and weapons for them!

On the surface, they were smart enough to remain calm. But after saying that they would bring the news back, they grabbed the ores and ran away.

Li Xiang raised a finger, and two Black Wing Demons flew up.

"Come back after confirming the location of the dwarves' tribe."

"Yes, Demon Lord!"

The Black Wing Demons followed the dwarves from afar.

"My Lord, why don't you go and destroy these dwarven tribes that are aiding the evil? Why do you trade with them normally?"

Carl did not understand. "The goblins have done so many bad things, and the dwarves are responsible for half of it."

He was the only one who dared to question Li Xiang's decision.

Li Xiang admired him very much and asked with a smile, "What benefits do we get if we kill all the dwarves?"

"Avenge for the dead tribesmen!" Carl said righteously.

"Do you know them?"

"No."

"Then why do you want to avenge them?"

"I…"

Carl choked on his words and stammered for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with a reason.

Li Xiang smiled faintly. "To put it simply, hatred is an emotion that arises after someone harms your personal interests. Then let me ask you something. Since you don't know the tribesmen and the goblins have never successfully invaded your territory, where does your hatred come from?"

Carl scratched his head. He couldn't explain it. He had pure disgust towards the goblins' actions and pitied the creatures they bullied.

"I know you want to be a hero, but you should also know that not everyone can be a hero. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Before you do something, ask yourself how much ability you have and see if you can shoulder the responsibility.

Li Xiang patted his shoulder and walked back in light footsteps.

"Idiot!"

The succubus glared at him fiercely, and her pretty face had a cold expression.

She hated people who did not listen to the demon lord and questioned the demon lord's choice the most!

The eye demon shook its head, which only had eyes, and sighed softly. "The Demon Lord's thoughts are much deeper than mine."

As it spoke, it also left.

Leaving behind Carl who was still in a daze.

What did the Lord just say?

He seemed to know these words.

But when they were put together, he couldn't understand them?

…

The matter regarding the dwarf tribe temporarily came to an end.

After Li Xiang returned to his residence, the first thing he did was to go to Sally's stronghold and ask about the tribal situation where the leader needed treatment.

Since he wanted to develop, he naturally had to understand the strength of the nearby tribes and make corresponding preparations.

From the conversation, he learned that the leader of the tribe was a flower goblin. They belonged to a completely neutral camp and were especially fond of peace.

They had been attacked by the goblins before, but they still had a certain amount of strength. They had successfully repelled the goblins, but they had also paid a considerable price.

It sounded like a tribe that could be won over.

Perhaps they could be subjugated by him like the barbarians.

Li Xiang immediately asked Sally to send the fox-eared lady to negotiate with the flower goblin tribe.

Then, he took the barbarians and a dozen demon soldiers out to hunt.

Food was still very important. Whether it was for trade or stock up, it was necessary.

Finally, when it was approaching noon, the demon soldiers escorted the fox-eared lady and brought back the news.

The flower goblins had expressed their willingness to form an alliance with the demon race and help each other, but not now.

Because of the goblins' invasion, the flower goblin leader, the flower goblin mother tree had sustained irreversible damage.

The mother tree was like a mother to the flower goblins. It was the only hope for the entire tribe to reproduce.

Now that it was about to wither, all the flower goblins were thinking of ways to restore it.

In the end, they learned from a wise man that if they wanted to restore the flower goblin mother tree, they had to find a wonder-ranked water source.

Only by watering it could it be restored.

"A wonder-ranked water source?"

Li Xiang laughed.

Wasn't the Ancient Well of Darkness, which he had just obtained, one of them?

However, using such a precious thing in exchange for "mutual help" was a little disadvantageous.

Li Xiang immediately said to the fox-eared lady, "Send a message back and tell the flower goblins that I have a wonder-ranked water source, and I can also lend it to them. However, the prerequisite is that the flower goblins must submit to me and not form an alliance."

"My Lord, I understand what you mean."

The fox-eared lady very coquettishly bowed to him and then set off on her journey.

In the afternoon, she returned with a lustrous green ball of light in her hand. Li Xiang recognized at a glance that it was the core of the territory.

Things went unexpectedly smooth.

It made sense when he thought about it. The flower goblins were already at the end of their road.

In Region 0042, the Ancient Well of Darkness was probably the only wonder-ranked water source. If one didn't choose to submit, only death awaited them.

Now that they had taken the initiative to hand over the core of the territory with sincerity.

Li Xiang did not stand on ceremony and directly used his talent's ability to devour it.

[Ding! Congratulations, ruler. You have successfully obtained a neutral territory. Your original ability, Ample Harvest (A) has been upgraded to Abundant Harvest (S)!]

[Ample Harvest (A): The growth rate of the land crops in the territory will increase by 10 times, and the output will increase by 10 times.

[Abundant Harvest (S): The growth rate of the land crops in the territory will increase by 100 times, and the output will increase by 100 times.

"It's just like wish fulfillment."

Li Xiang was worried about the source of food for the 100 barbarians and the goblin slaves in the future. As the number of soldiers increased, hunting alone would not be able to satisfy their daily consumption.

At this time, he had to expand the variety of food to let the barbarians change from a pure meat diet to an omnivorous diet!

The goblins shall become vegetarian!

With the increase in the growth rate of crops, no matter how many people, he would be able to afford it!

Chapter 19: Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree, a Lifestyle Type Soldier, and Honey Roasted Meat!

Coincidentally, the fields owned by the flower goblins were also included in Li Xiang's territory.

As long as the crops were planted, with the addition of both production speed and yield, there would be a harvest very quickly.

With sufficient food, productivity would guarantee abundance, and obtaining resources would become faster and faster.

This was a process of accumulation. If Li Xiang wanted to develop, he had to go through this stage.

And this day had come way earlier than the other rulers.

Li Xiang was very satisfied.

Since the flower goblins had already made their stance clear, he naturally wouldn't be stingy.

He immediately got the eye demon to head to the flower demon tribe and guide them to the Ancient Well of Darkness.

After waiting at home for a while, the system notified him.

[Official Notification: The Flower Goblin Mother Tree has successfully revived. Due to the existence of the Dark Corruption skill, the Flower Goblin Mother Tree has demonized and evolved into a Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree!]

At the same time, a corresponding panel appeared on Li Xiang's interface.

[Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree] (Boss-Rank Unit)

Quality: S

Race: Demon

Growth Rate: 9 (Full)

Rank: 10

Magic Attack: 0

Defense: 500 (2%)

HP: 15,000 (2%)

Skills: [Photosynthesis, [Immunity, [Wild Growth, [Procreation]

Introduction: The Flower Goblin Mother Tree has lived for more than 10,000 years. It has a good understanding of the local terrain and various resources. It has a special item [Soul of Wood].

…

[Ding! Congratulations, ruler. You have successfully unlocked a new solder type — Dark Flower Goblin!]

The Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree was similar to the eye demon. They were both demons without any attack skills.

In comparison, the Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree was purer. Unlike the eye demon, which could reflect damage, she could only take a beating on the spot and be used as a meat shield.

The only question was whether the Dark Flower Goblin would be the same as her.

Li Xiang then went to the Demon Lair and created one.

With a hundred times amplification, a hundred flower goblins flew out from the depths of the lair at the same time and landed on the empty ground. They were neatly arranged.

This group of creatures had a human upper body and a tree lower body. They looked quite strange, and their looks were not bad either.

Every part of their body was very interesting, and it made peoples' thoughts run wild.

Especially the pair of 36D bosom, which were right in front of Li Xiang. Moreover, there were 100 pairs of them. It was difficult for him not to let his imagination run wild.

"Cough!"

Li Xiang's expression did not change as he looked at his attribute panel.

Just as he had imagined, the attack attributes of these Dark Flower Goblins were very low, so low that they could not even be compared to C-Rank Murlocs.

The only acceptable things were their HP and defense, which were in line with the standards of an A-Rank soldier.

The types of skills were also biased towards lifestyle.

[Planting, [Honey Making, [Winemaking, and the [Rosemary Pollen] skill which had control ability. According to the introduction, it was used to knock out wild boars.

With this method of killing wild boars, the animal would be in a good mood before they die. It would result in an excellent quality of meat, which in return, produces high-quality meat.

He did not know if it was true.

Li Xiang couldn't be bothered to test it himself, so he let the flower goblins get creative in the territory.

In the end, they really did send him a late, exquisite lunch.

The taste of the high-quality wild boar meat was chewy and smooth. After smearing it with the honey they had gotten from God knows where, there was an additional layer of rich fragrance. Compared to the original roast beef, it was easily crushed by several levels.

He would never eat ordinary quality meat again!

When his taste had changed, Li Xiang opened up the chat channel to see how everyone was doing.

"Ahhhhhhh! Please, someone with a good heart. I'm starving to death. There's not even any bark or roots left in the territory that I can go to. I only want one-tenth of a unit of meat. Ah, no, one-hundredth of a unit is fine too! I just want to eat my last full meal before the beast tide arrives!"

"This brother is really pitiful… but I can't help either. I have more than ten soldiers waiting to be fed. I can only live frugally…"

"Sigh, it's not easy for everyone. It's already the third day, and even eating a full meal is difficult. How can we resist the beast tide?"

"I think the lords in the region should unite and announce the coordinates. The nearby ones should support each other and develop the basic resources first. Strength comes from numbers."

"Hehe, a fool did that the day before yesterday. Do you see him speaking up now?"

"If you want to die, go and die alone. Do you think all the lords are good people? Don't you know that the novice protection period doesn't prevent the annexation of territories and the plundering of resources?"

"One monk has water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. People who understand this naturally understand. When people who don't know each other gather together, they will only scheme against each other. They are afraid that if they exert a little more strength, they will drag each other down."

"That's right. Moreover, I heard that the difficulty of the beast tide is determined according to the condition of the lords in the territory. If there are more lords in a territory, it would be even more dangerous."

"So… People like us who don't even have food to eat still have a chance to survive?"

"… The ones who are not having enough to eat, I suggest that you reincarnate early and stop torturing yourself."

"…"

…

Very good. The regional chat was as miserable as ever.

He could continue trading!

He turned to look at the trading area.

There were already quite a few items in there.

There were all sorts of items, from weapons and equipment blueprints to wood and stone resources.

Only there was no food.

It was obvious that the market was too big to meet demand. These items should be scarce resources for a long period of time.

The Dark Flower Goblin had brought back nearly fifty units of high-quality pork.

If it was all thrown out, it would definitely be able to be exchanged for a lot of resources.

However, Li Xiang was not in a hurry to trade it.

Instead, he roasted ten units of high-quality pork, smeared it with honey, and threw it out in batches.

[Honey Roasted Meat: Provides a large amount of satiety. The warm and sweet taste can make you and your soldiers happy. The exchange cost is ten times the recommended price in the mall. Currently, there are only three units left!

Once this thing was up in the market, the world channel immediately caused a huge uproar.

What was going on?

What was Boss Li Xiang doing!

Many of them were gnawing on the bark of the trees and eating grassroots.

And he was having a good time.

He even created Honey Roasted Meat?

Were they really from the same world?

Chapter 20: Excellent-Ranked Weapon Manufacturing Blueprint!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Xiang's living conditions shocked most people, but at the same time, they were feeling extremely sour.

It had only been a few days, and he had already created food with seasonings?

Looking at the special effect of the Honey Roasted Meat that could make people feel happy, many people were tempted.

There was no other reason. It was precisely because, after more than two days of experience and adventure, the initial soldiers under them had more or less lost a certain degree of loyalty.

Once their loyalty dropped, it would not be so easy to make up for it.

Using this Honey Roasted Meat as a reward seemed to be a good choice.

However, this food was too expensive!

Originally, the recommended selling price of high-quality meat was twice as expensive as ordinary meat.

Now that it was even processed high-quality meat, it was even more expensive.

Originally, the selling price of pork and beef was the same. The exchange rate for wood was 1:30.

Whereas this Honey Roasted Meat directly rose to 1:110!

What kind of joke was this?

How many trees would they have to cut down!

Currently, most people didn't have any tools, and there were only a few basic soldiers in the territory. They hadn't expanded their population yet.

The production of all kinds of resources was very low.

Even if they didn't go hunting or collect food like berries, just cutting down wood was already good enough to produce five units a day.

n0𝓋𝑬𝗅𝗎𝑆𝒷.𝑐0𝓂

With such a small amount of wood, after deducting the cost of the natural wear and tear of the building every day, there would not be much left.

In comparison, Li Xiang's Demon Lair was very convenient. Resources would only be needed when recruiting soldiers. There was no cost for leveling up and daily living.

Only the wooden houses that the barbarians lived in would lose one percent of their wood every day due to the elemental power that permeated the air of the Myriad World Continent.

Ten wooden houses plus the palace would only cost one unit of wood.

This bit of resources was completely unburdensome for the barbarians who had tools in their hands.

Therefore, this Honey Roasted Meat was not something that an ordinary person could afford.

The initial soldiers had to have at least a ruler of B-Rank or above in order to have a surplus of resources to purchase this "luxury item".

Li Xiang had no intention of using Honey Roasted Meat to exchange for normal resources.

His goal was the only Weapon Manufacturing Blueprint in the trade channel.

However, Li Xiang did not contact the other party.

Because this would give the other party a chance to raise the price.

He believed that the ruler who could obtain the blueprint but did not use it himself would not be very capable. He was probably lucky, just like Sally.

He believed that the other party would definitely see the business opportunity in the Honey Roasted Meat at this time.

As expected, and not long after, Li Xiang received a private chat message.

Just as he thought, this person did not have the materials to make weapons, and he did not have the corresponding forging craft. He could only exchange it for resources.

"Boss Li Xiang, I am very interested in your Honey Roasted Meat. I have a [Unknown Grade Weapon Manufacturing Blueprint] in my hands. Do you think we can do an exchange?"

"How much do you want to exchange it for?"

"Twenty units, how about it?"

Daylight robbery!

Li Xiang couldn't be bothered with it.

It would be a miracle if he agreed to this price.

This was equivalent to 2,200 units of wood. How long would his barbarians have to chop it for?

"Trying to take advantage of me?"

Li Xiang chuckled. He wasn't in a hurry at all.

He closed the chat and looked at the trading area. He found that the Honey Roasted Meat that he had put up for trade had already been snapped up.

The notifications kept ringing one after another.

In a short while, three units of Honey Roasted Meat were sold out.

Soon, many people in the world channel gave feedback.

This meat could indeed increase the loyalty of subordinates!

This set off a meat craze.

Li Xiang decided to fulfill their demands and roasted another unit of meat. However, he asked Sally to help sell it on consignment at a price of 1:120, creating a phenomenon of a second-hand trader trying to raise the price.

Although some people on the chat channel scolded Sally for this behavior, the unit of Honey Roasted Meat was quickly sold out.

There was no other reason.

Some people saw a business opportunity!

The Honey Roasted Meat that was sold reappeared on the market again, and the price was pushed even higher.

This time, the person holding the weapon blueprint could not sit still.

He kept sending messages in the private chat, lowering the price from 20 to 15 and then to 10.

Li Xiang still ignored him.

This made him anxious.

If this continued, the weapon blueprint in his hands would become less and less valuable.

Maybe even one unit of Honey Roasted Meat would not be worth it in the end.

He gritted his teeth and sent this message.

"Boss Li Xiang, it was my fault before. I shouldn't have recklessly raised the price, but no matter what, what's your estimated price? At least tell me, as long as it's suitable, we'll make a deal at one price?"

"Two units of Honey Roasted Meat, no bargaining."

"Huh? Isn't this a little too low…"

"Block me then, and stop contacting me."

"No, no, no…"

This person was very helpless. After thinking carefully, two units could be exchanged for a lot of resources. It could accelerate his development for more than ten days.

The early stage of development was extremely precious. This was to lay the foundation, which could determine whether he could walk ahead of others in the future.

Not to mention that there would be a beast tide soon. If one could not withstand it and the person died, then even if the weapon blueprint was left in one's hands, what use would it be?

Why not exchange it for some wood and stones, build houses, expand the population, and increase safety.

"Alright! I agree. Boss, when can we make the deal?"

"Just wait."

Li Xiang smiled slightly and finally relented.

The roasted meat took some time, and after it was done, the sky darkened a lot.

The third day was about to end.

Li Xiang took advantage of the time and opened the blueprint in his hands to check the manufacturing requirements.

[Weapon Manufacturing Blueprint]

Grade: Excellent

Manufacturing Requirements: Iron Ingot, Master-Ranked Forging Craft

Weapon Type: Sword, Spear, Bow

Attribute Summary —

Attack: 30-50 (-20% to 20%, determined according to the weapon type, the bow type is the lowest, the spear type is the highest)

Power: 5

Agility: 4

Equip Level: 5

…

"Not bad."

Li Xiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This attack power had already surpassed that of a C-Rank soldier. Whether it was equipping the Black Wing Demon or the Vine Whisker Demon, it could bring about a decent increase in attack power.

If he could enchant it through the dwarf tribe, he could obtain even more powerful effects.

"I wonder how the discussion of the dwarves is coming along."

Li Xiang turned to look at the succubus. "Come, bring up the view of the small eye demon that's following them."

The succubus took a step sideways and slapped the eye demon's head.

The blood-colored black gas condensed into a vortex, and the scene appeared.

The voice of the dwarves came from within.

"King! They have an army of five thousand demons, and there's no way we can win!"

Chapter 21: Pointing Swords at the Dwarves

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

There were two dwarves in the picture. One of them was respectfully reporting what had happened to him in the mine.

He was the one who had spoken those words.

Li Xiang was confused.

Since when did he have five thousand demon soldiers?

There were only five hundred demon soldiers stationed in the mine!

Did the dwarves not know how to count?

"Five thousand? Humph! Hans, shut your big, bragging mouth!"

The dwarf who was called the king raised his gourd and gulped down a mouthful of strong wine. "You said that there were 800 ghouls in the West Mountain when there were only eight, and the 2000 aquatic demons in the East River were exaggerated by you when it was only 20. In the end? Weren't they all defeated by the King of the Hill, which is me?"

The dwarf wanted to cry, but he had no tears. The king had never seen the terrifying appearance of those demons.

How could this race be compared to those ghouls and aquatic demons?

And… There was indeed a lot of them!

"Pass down the order; the entire tribe will prepare for battle!"

The Dwarf King waved his hand. "It's just a few demons. The dwarves are not afraid of battle!"

The dwarf wanted to persuade him again.

However, the Dwarf King had already made up his mind. He had an expression that said, "If you dare to back out of the battle, I'll give you a good beating." The dwarf didn't dare to say anything else and could only go out and give the order.

Li Xiang let the succubus stop displaying the picture.

"How could he be so stubborn?"

He couldn't help but shake his head.

The dwarf actually wanted to fight him. This was something he had never expected.

After all, how could a tribe that couldn't even deal with goblins take the initiative to fight him, who had enslaved goblins?

No one knew what the dwarf had said to make the dwarf king so stubborn.

"Eye Demon."

Li Xiang shouted.

"My Honorable Demon Lord, please give your order." The eye demon was already on the right track, and his attitude was ridiculously respectful.

"Get the Black Wing Demon that was tracking them to come back. Also, use the small eye demons to scout the area near the dwarf tribe and find the nearest route. We'll take the initiative to attack and scare them."

"As you wish!"

"Oh right." Li Xiang asked again, "Can you continuously release your abilities now?"

"With the help of the Ancient Well of Darkness, I can already do it, Honorable Demon Lord."

"That's good."

Li Xiang nodded.

The skills of the eye demon were indispensable. It was the key to cooperating with the succubus to deal with large-scale area damage.

Of course, he did not want to exterminate the dwarves. After all, he still had the weapon blueprint that he needed their help to forge.

But deterrence was essential.

Apart from that, he had to give them some benefits.

"Does he like to drink?"

Li Xiang noticed the King of the Hill drinking many times in the short picture. Since the Dark Flower Goblin happened to have the Winemaking ability, he might as well let them bring some mead made from honey over.

By tempering justice with mercy, he believed that the dwarves would submit to him, the demon race.

…

The Eye Demon and the Flower Goblins began to move.

The Eye Demon was very efficient. In less than ten minutes, it handed over a map of the territory of the dwarves.

It marked the areas that they had to pass through before they could march from the main base to the dwarf tribe.

It had investigated the kinds of threats that they would encounter in the place and whether it was neutral territory for Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was very satisfied and looked at it carefully.

The Eye Demon explained from the side.

"Demon Lord, from our location to the dwarf tribe, there are three paths to choose from."

"Two of them have lords guarding it, and one is a neutral territory."

"But there is a group of offensive creatures in this neutral territory, called Poisonous Man-Eating Bees."

"Although they don't have much intelligence, they are very poisonous and live near the dwarf tribe. When they go out to collect honey, they often attack these dwarves."

Li Xiang nodded and smiled. "Then let's go to this region. We will help the dwarves solve this problem, and they will definitely be grateful to us. There's no reason not to make weapons for us."

"Demon Lord, you are far-sighted. I'm far inferior to you."

"Alright, alright. Stop fawning. Go and check on the Flower Goblins' winemaking progress."

"Demon Lord, the Flower Goblins are working very hard. They are almost done."

"So fast?"

Li Xiang was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the winemaking process would also receive a hundredfold efficiency increase. This would save a lot of time.

Thus, he waited in the territory for a while and made some Honey Roasted Meat. After the mead was ready, he gathered an army of 1,000 soldiers and headed towards the dwarven territory.

It was worth mentioning that in order to strengthen his reputation, Li Xiang created another 40 Dark Flower Goblins.

This soldier had two summoning conditions. One was to not add honey, and each unit would consume 500 souls. The other was to add two units of honey, and it would only consume 50 souls.

The Flower Goblin tribe already had a lot of honey reserves, so Li Xiang took advantage of it.

The hundredfold increase turned into an army of 4,000 Flower Goblins.

n0𝐯𝓮𝗅𝑢𝚜𝐁.𝗰0𝗆

Although in reality, only 500 Black Wing Demons and 500 Vine Whisker Demons had the ability to fight.

But this did not affect him conquering the dwarven tribe.

How many people were there in the dwarven tribe?

Only 200 to 300.

He believed that when they saw the demon army approaching the city, they would definitely not have the intention to resist.

Even if the King of the Hill was determined to go his way, the other dwarves would not follow and send themselves to death.

Very soon, the army arrived at the neutral territory.

Facing the Poisonous Man-Eating Bees, the wood type Vine Whisker Demons, which were immune to poison, were the first choice to deal with them.

With just three or four Vine Whisker Demons charging in and activating their [Furious Whip] skill, they easily destroyed the nest of the Poisonous Man-Eating Bees and obtained several thousand souls.

Moreover, they obtained a large amount of EXP and became the first batch of Vine Whisker Demons to level up.

They swept away all the spoils of war and handed them over to Li Xiang.

[System Notification: You have obtained the Poisonous Man-Eating Bees Stinger x 172!]

[System Notification: You have obtained a Poisonous Man-Eating Bee Nest!]

The stinger contained poison and could be used to enchant. The bee nest had a synthesis option and could be used to make [Detoxifying Beeswax].

Anyone who had been stung by a Poisonous Man-Eating Bee could apply the Detoxifying Beeswax to quickly relieve the pain.

"I'll treat it as a gift to the dwarf tribe."

Li Xiang did not need it, so he did not feel any heartache if he gifted it as he continued to lead the army forward.

Not long after, the army arrived at the city gates.

Chapter 22: Subduing the Dwarf Tribe!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Soon, dozens of dwarves rushed out of the dwarven workshop. They looked at the demons in front of them in horror and hurriedly called for their companions.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of well-equipped dwarves formed a formation in front of them, but they did not dare to act rashly.

The eye demon and succubus looked at each other and began to move.

The combination of Flame Flogging and Fission Rebound was used, forming a rain of fire that filled the sky. A terrifying high temperature swept out.

The dwarves were surrounded by flames. They were in a dilemma as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

The succubus took a step forward and opened her hand. The flames that rose in all directions became more intense, and she looked at them with a kind expression.

"Don't be nervous. I don't have any other intentions. I just want to invite the King of the Hill to come out and chat with our Demon Lord."

These words were very polite. Naturally, it was Li Xiang who wanted her to do this.

The dwarves in front looked at the raging flames around them, as well as the tens of thousands of demon armies, and could not help but swallow their saliva together.

How was this called without any other intentions?

Such a large formation naturally alarmed the King of the Hill.

It was different from the panic of these ordinary dwarves.

When he came out, he did not show any fear in the face of the demon army. He was still a tough man with a huge hammer in his hand. He stood in front of the dwarves with a majestic presence.

Li Xiang saw it and thought, "This leader is indeed not afraid of force. Fortunately, I prepared two moves."

Then, he took out the [Detoxifying Beeswax] and looked at the succubus.

The succubus passed the beeswax to the King of the Hill.

"I heard that you were very annoyed by the harassment of the Poisonous Man-Eating Bees, so the Demon Lord specially led troops to clean them up. This is a gift for you."

The King of the Hill sized her up. After confirming that the succubus had no intention of attacking, he took the thing.

When he opened it, his eyes lit up slightly.

It was actually Detoxifying Beeswax. This thing could only be obtained after the Poisonous Man-Eating Bees were completely eradicated.

He did not expect that once the demons made their move, they would solve the long-standing problem of the dwarves.

This power was definitely extraordinary!

The King of the Hill swept his gaze across the mountains.

Damn it.

It really was 5,000 demons!

That accursed Hans!

Why did he have to tell the truth?

According to his habit of bragging, shouldn't 5,000 people be said to be 500,000 people!

Damn it!

His judgment was wrong!

If he had known that there were so many demon troops, he would have definitely agreed to the deal!

While he was cursing Hans in his heart, the King of the Hill remained calm on the surface.

In front of so many subordinates, he absolutely could not embarrass himself!

Now that the demon race had a kind attitude, he naturally would not take the initiative to pull out his sword.

"May I ask, my demon friend, why have you come to my dwarven workshop this time?"

"Naturally, it's because of the deal we discussed earlier."

The succubus waved the Flame Whip in her hand. "I believe that your subordinates have already told you of the Demon Lord's requirements. Have you considered it?"

"You want us dwarves to forge weapons and equipment for the demon race?" The King of the Hill said in a muffled voice.

"No, it's not just that."

The succubus smiled happily, revealing two sharp demon teeth. "The Demon Lord requests that you hand over the core of your territory and submit to our race."

"What! Impossible!"

The King of the Hill shook his head heavily. "Dwarves will never be slaves!"

"You will not become slaves, just a part of the demon race."

Li Xiang opened his mouth at this time and said lightly, "The dwarves will be protected by the demon race in the future, and the resources in the territory will be at your disposal."

A few Flower Goblins walked up, carrying a large pile of freshly brewed mead.

Opening the seal, the fragrance of the wine immediately filled the air.

Many dwarves revealed intoxicated expressions when they smelled the fragrance.

Li Xiang observed the expressions.

Dwarves were addicted to alcohol and would never be able to resist such temptation.

n0𝓋𝔢𝗅𝓊𝔰𝗯.𝓬0𝑚

He immediately added, "As long as you submit, there will be an unlimited supply of this high-quality mead in the future!"

When he said this, the dwarves were overjoyed.

Even the King of the Hill's expression was a little shaken.

It was not that he was not determined.

It was just that this wine… was too fragrant!

A few dwarves in the crowd could not help but go forward and ask Li Xiang if they could taste it first.

He generously said that they could taste it.

The dwarves could not wait to rush forward.

When they taste it…

Ah!

This accursed sweetness!

How could there be such a delicious wine!

The dwarves who had drank were all moved. They repeatedly expressed their willingness to submit to the demon race.

Since they couldn't win, they wouldn't lose their lives if they joined. They would even have wine to drink every day, so why not?

After someone took the lead, the other dwarves followed suit.

The number of people who submitted increased.

From ten to a hundred, then to the entire tribe!

In the end, only the King of the Hill remained silent.

"How is it?" The succubus was already prepared to use force. How could a big man dawdle, wasting the Demon Lord's time?

"I… I…"

The King of the Hill was stammering. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed heavily and put down the hammer in his hand. "Sigh, forget it, forget it. Some people are suffering from bee venom. I… I will repay your kindness!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand. "Carlo, bring the core of the territory over."

"Yes, my King!"

A dwarf in the crowd hurried into the workshop.

Before long, he came out with a grayish-red crystal in his hand.

The King of the Hill took it and handed it to Li Xiang with both hands.

"I hope you will treat my dwarves well."

Li Xiang smiled. "Don't worry, as long as I have a sip of wine, you will have a bite of meat."

"No, no, no, why don't we change the conditions… I prefer to drink wine a little more."

"Hahaha."

Li Xiang laughed heartily and gestured for the Flower Goblin to hand over the remaining mead to the King of the Hill.

The King of the Hill's eyes were shining. In fact, he had wanted to drink it for a long time. It was just that he couldn't embarrass himself in front of so many people.

Now that he had already submitted, he no longer held back and started to swallow the mead like a whale.

"Good wine!" The King of the Hill looked satisfied.

Chapter 23: On the Eve of the Beast Tide

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Xiang heaved a sigh of relief. After successfully subduing the dwarf tribe, the strength of the demon race could once again increase by a large margin in a short period of time.

Next, he began to devour the core of the dwarven territory.

Not long after, a system notification came.

[Ding! Congratulations, ruler. You have successfully obtained a neutral territory. Your original ability, Excellent Equipment (A), has been upgraded to Superb Craftsmanship (S)!]

[Excellent Equipment (A): Double the output of the resources used to forge equipment. At the same time, the production process of weapons, defensive equipment, accessories, etc. has increased. The production rate of excellent-grade equipment has increased by 1%.

[Superb Craftsmanship (S): The output of the resources used to forge equipment has increased by a hundredfold. The overall production process of weapons and defensive equipment has increased. The production rate of excellent quality equipment has increased by 10%, perfect equipment by 5%, master equipment by 2%, unique equipment by 1%, and the enchantment skill has further improved!

[Conquering the Enemy Without Fighting] (Special Attribute): There's a certain probability to make the enemy surrender while not needing to cross swords with the enemy's army.

[Congratulations, you have attained five types of subordinate soldiers, and the achievement "Gradually Entering the Optimal State" has been unlocked. You have also obtained the reward, Elementary Enchantment Technique Illustration Manual!]

[Congratulations, ruler. You have successfully subdued the Dwarf unit x 344, which can be used for construction, smelting, combat, and loyalty 90%!]

What the heck, taming a dwarf tribe actually gave him so many rewards!

Li Xiang was shocked.

Both of them had an A-Rank basic territory attribute. Why did it feel like the dwarf tribe was stronger than the Flower Goblin tribe?

There was a 1% chance of producing a piece of unique equipment.

Wasn't this powerful?

As long as he had enough materials, he might be able to equip all the demons with a unique-grade weapon!

After all, the succubus's Flame Whip was only a legendary-grade weapon, which was only one grade higher.

How much difference in attribute could a unique-grade weapon have?

Moreover, there was a second territory attribute, but it had not been upgraded. It should be a fixed racial effect.

Overall, the gains were great.

The loyalty of these dwarves was not low. This meant that they had really submitted, and not because of force.

It seemed that the mead and beeswax had not been prepared in vain.

After winning the hearts of the people, they would do things more diligently in the future and would not deliberately slack off.

Li Xiang raised his head to look at the sky.

It was already late at night.

He did not know if the beast tide would arrive in the early morning. He had to make preparations immediately.

"Everyone from the dwarf tribe will follow me back. Take everything you need. Don't leave any behind!"

Li Xiang began to give orders.

At the same time, he had the Eye Demon take the Black Wing Demon to the mine to carry the iron ore materials.

He was prepared to start smelting weapons tonight.

The group of people split into two groups.

The Vine Whisker Demon helped the dwarf tribe to move.

Li Xiang and the succubus went ahead and returned to the main territory.

The first thing was to find Sally.

"Have you prepared all the resources I want? The protection period is about to end."

Sally had two dark circles under her eyes. "Don't worry, Boss. I've already given priority to preparing the resources to summon the barbarians for you. However, I only have over a hundred cat-eared ladies on my side, so I probably won't be of much help…"

"It doesn't matter. Let's make the barbarians first. We need to use them now. I'll share the right to create units with you."

"Okay."

Sally then built a barracks to summon the barbarians in her stronghold and entered the number 100.

The next moment, countless barbarians swarmed out. The space in the stronghold was not enough in the blink of an eye.

A hundredfold soldier creation!

Sally was dumbfounded.

"Didn't I only summon 100 people? How did it become 10,000?" She looked at the notification in shock.

"This is one of my territory attributes." Li Xiang asked after explaining, "Didn't you enjoy the attribute's effect when you summoned the cat-eared ladies?"

Sally shook her head in a daze. "No, I just felt that your demon soldiers' creations were quite fast…"

"It seems that if it's just a vassal relationship, you won't be able to receive my talent and territory attribute bonuses."

It didn't matter if Li Xiang only knew about this now. After all, with the current number of soldiers he had, the cat-eared ladies' healing didn't matter that much.

However, for the sake of safety, he still ordered these barbarians to build a defense in the initial territory.

They would cover 10 km by 10 km of land!

This was a huge project.

Using stones as the foundation, and then using red-hot molten iron to build a steel wall.

With the Great Construction's hundredfold bonus efficiency, the construction period was greatly shortened.

The dwarves also began to move under the command of the new lord.

Countless iron ingots and wood were constantly transported to the newly built workshop.

Everyone was working hard.

They must create the first batch of enchanted weapons before dawn, as the demon lord said!

n0𝓋𝔢𝗅𝓊𝔰𝗯.𝓬0𝑚

Not long after, with the efforts of many parties, a half-meter tall city wall was erected at the border. The foundation was also very solid.

Although it was not tall, it was already quite large.

Li Xiang's goal was five meters!

This way, the Black Wing Demons could face the beast tide by throwing spears at the top of the city wall!

The Vine Whisker Demons' Furious Whip could also assist in dealing damage.

He did not want to use his subordinates' bodies to fight against the beast tide.

That would cause serious casualties, and there was no need for that.

During the development period, every single soldier was very important.

Even if he had the hundredfold soldier creation bonus.

After all, it was not easy to accumulate Soul Points.

There was no other tribe as large as the goblins in the area of the fog of war that he had explored.

While he was busy reading the [Elementary Enchantment Technique Illustration Manual, Sally came looking for him.

"Boss Li Xiang, I want to help too."

Li Xiang didn't even raise his head. "Then you go to the west city wall and coordinate with the defense. If there are injured people, you can help treat them."

"No…" Sally hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she said, "I want to say… I'm prepared to fully submit to you!"

Li Xiang raised his head and glanced at her. He chuckled and lowered his head to look at the illustration manual. "Later, I'll see if I can share the territory attribute with you. For now, you go and do your own thing."

"That's not what I meant…"

Sally was a little anxious. She didn't surrender because of Li Xiang's talent attribute bonus!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The city walls that Boss Li Xiang had built had directly surrounded her stronghold.

What did this mean?

This meant that the boss would have to face the onslaught of the beast tide alone.

Sally felt that she had taken advantage of the other party's protection and development when she did not even help at all, and she felt really bad.

The guilt and gratitude caused by the sense of being indebted to him made her already have the intention of giving up the core of her territory.

If she could not help, then she would hand over her territory talent for the boss to use!

At that moment, Sally explained a few more sentences.

She expressed her intentions.

Li Xiang only smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I know. It's just that I'm really a little busy right now. If you're free, you can go to the dwarven workshop to help control the weapons produced. At the same time, you can also classify the quality. With the help of the system interface, you would be the most suitable person to do this."

"I'll go right now!"

Sally immediately took action. She was very happy.

It seemed that being able to shine in the demon race was a very exciting thing!

Li Xiang watched as she gradually walked further and further away. Then, he placed his gaze on the illustration manual.

After reading through the general contents, he pinched the space between his brows a little tiredly.

The succubus very considerately asked, "Demon Lord, are you in trouble?"

"Sort of."

Li Xiang put down the illustration manual. "This book records many enchantment methods. Perhaps it's a skill that the dwarf tribe doesn't have control over, but the difficulty is that enchantment requires a lot of materials that I've never heard of, and I don't know where to get them."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Eye Demon.

The Eye Demon immediately expressed its stance, "Honorable Demon Lord, although I'm a scholar, I don't know anything about these things at the moment. It's more appropriate for you to ask the dwarf leader."

Li Xiang casually threw the illustration manual to him. "Take it and ask. Try It."

"Yes, Sir!"

The Eye Demon left.

After a period of time, Sally hurried over with a large pile of weapons in her hands.

n0𝒱𝑒𝑙𝓊𝐬𝓑.𝓬0𝓂

"Boss Li Xiang, the first batch of weapons are already out. They're all here. Do you want to take a look?"

Li Xiang glanced at them. Because the Weapon Manufacturing Blueprint for making weapons was of excellent quality, the probability of each quality was increased because of [Superb Craftsmanship].

There were about 50 weapons in the first batch, and half of them were of perfect quality. There were also a few master-grade weapons, and their attributes were much higher than the original ones.

For example, a master-grade [Spear of Death]'s attack directly broke through an excellent quality equipment's upper limit of 60 to 80!

This attack power was close to the lower limit of the Vine Whisker Demon's attack power.

But the quality was quality, and efficiency was efficiency.

Li Xiang was not very satisfied with this manufacturing speed.

There were only 50 weapons in the first batch. He had a total of 2,000 demon combat soldiers and 10,000 barbarians. When would he be able to fully equip them?

"Only this much?" He asked.

Sally hurriedly replied, "Actually, the first batch produced more than 200 weapons. However, due to the rush of work, many defective products did not even reach superior quality, so I did not bring them. I had them throw them back into the furnace to be reforged."

"The success rate is so low."

Li Xiang frowned slightly. There was only a one-quarter success rate. No wonder the output was not high.

He thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Let the dwarves continue to work. It doesn't matter if you slow down. You must ensure the success rate. Don't reforge the defective products. I will sell them in the trading area later."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

Sally patted her head in annoyance. "I'm so stupid. Even if these weapons are of common quality, their attributes are not inferior to the attack of E-Rank soldiers. The rulers outside will definitely fight over them!"

"Unfortunately, there is no enchantment."

Li Xiang shook his head and asked, "Has the King of the Hill read the book that I asked the eye demon to send over? What did he say?"

"He said that there are many enchantment methods that are unheard of, especially those materials. He had no idea where to get them."

"Okay."

It seemed that most of the weapons could not be enchanted this time.

Li Xiang then gave the 170 Stinger to Sally and asked her to send them to the dwarven workshop to enchant the best batch of weapons with poison.

Time passed bit by bit.

The golden light that had been protecting the territory in the distance also gradually dimmed.

In the depths of the darkness, there seemed to be countless creatures making restless noises, staring at them with covetous eyes.

Li Xiang opened the world channel to take a look, and the announcement at the top of the system had changed.

[Respected rulers, the novice protection period is coming to an end. At that time, you will be attacked by all the neutral creatures living nearby. The larger the territory, the difficulty of the beast tide increases. Please protect yourself well and use your soldiers and buildings for defense. Once you survive the beast tide, you will be able to survive!]

The chat below was moving non-stop as they were all discussing the matter of the beast tide.

Following the announcement, many people who didn't have an attack attribute felt a glimmer of hope.

After all, according to the contents of the announcement, killing the beast tide wasn't the only option. If they continued to defend, they would be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Overall, the atmosphere of the chat was still very positive. Compared to the first day, it wasn't as pessimistic.

Li Xiang had a headache.

If he had known that the beast tide had such a rule, he would not have been in a hurry to expand his territory.

He looked at the system panel.

Currently, there were six territories under his jurisdiction.

What did this mean?

The ruler of another territory would at most face four waves of neutral creatures' attack during the initial beast tide.

If he was lucky and there were other rulers nearby, the number would decrease.

As for him?

Looking at the distribution of the territory, he would at most have to face twelve waves of the beast tide!

It was very annoying!

Li Xiang had a headache.

"Forget it, I'll just treat it as training since there are souls and EXP to be collected during the beast tide."

He could only comfort himself like this.

Just as he was feeling depressed, Sally came back with a sword.

"Boss, look! Look at what the dwarves create!"

Li Xiang took a look.

Chapter 25: For the Glory of the Demon Lord! For the Tribe!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Holy crap!

What a unique weapon!

Li Xiang was dumbfounded.

He could never have imagined that.

With the blueprint for making an excellent quality weapon and the dwarves' craftsmanship, it could actually forge a Commander's Sword with such exaggerated attributes and additional abilities.

Not only did it have both strength and agility, but the attributes were also much more than what was written on the blueprint.

Just this alone provided about 20% of the attack power and movement speed of all the troops under his command.

Not to mention the two special abilities, [Personal Conqueror] and [Death Battle, which could bring huge improvements to the troops.

If it wasn't for the fact that it couldn't grow, its overall value would definitely surpass that of the legendary Flame Whip.

It would be best if he used this sword himself!

Unfortunately, Li Xiang was still at Rank 1 and could not equip it.

"How should I level up?"

As questions surfaced in his mind, the system answered in a timely manner.

[1: Kill the monsters personally.]

[2: Share the EXP gained with the soldiers (obtain 10%).]

[3: Build a training ground and let the units which are elite-ranked and above impart combat experience.]

[4: Devour the core of the other rulers' territories.]

…

So that's how it was.

The first option was not very realistic. Li Xiang had no combat ability at all. It was already a little difficult for him to face the wild chickens of the Myriad World Continent alone. In a sense, he was powerless.

Unless he could use the Commander's Sword right now. The Poison Flame skill combined with the refinement effect, Kill, would be very powerful in a one-on-one fight.

The second option seemed okay, but it was a bit of a drain on his subordinates' HP. He had to activate it on his own, which would slow down the leveling speed of his soldiers.

The third option was not bad, but he did not have the time to construct this building at the moment, so he had to put it aside for now.

There was no need to consider the fourth option.

There was no other ruler in his territory besides Sally.

At the moment, only the second option was suitable.

Hence, Li Xiang chose to activate cancer mode. As long as his soldiers killed any unit, 10% of the EXP would be given to him.

However, leveling up here was not as simple as killing a few monsters in an online game.

Back then, the succubus had split half of the EXP from over a thousand goblins, but it did not level up to Rank 3. This showed how difficult it was.

"I wonder if I can let my subordinates receive the buff from the Commander's Sword during the beast tide."

Li Xiang naturally hoped that he could use this divine weapon as soon as possible.

However, the heavens didn't grant his wish.

It was already close to midnight, and the protective light was about to dissipate. It was already too late to train at the last moment.

It was better to focus on dealing with the beast tide!

The city walls had already been built to a height of nearly seven meters, more than twice the height of the tall barbarians.

The progress was faster than expected.

It was just that the thickness was not enough. If they were to encounter a huge buffalo, even the wall made of molten iron would be breached.

"It seems that we have to set up the barbarians at the back."

Li Xiang was actually unwilling to choose to fight the monsters when his subordinates did not have armor and equipment.

n0𝗏𝐄𝑙𝑈𝓈𝒃.𝗰0𝔪

However, there were no related blueprints in the trade area. The beast tide was imminent, so he could only make this decision.

The barbarians would be the second line of defense behind the city wall.

If the city wall was broken, the Black Wing Demons could bring the Vine Whisker Demons and retreat safely. They could then go behind them and defend for a second round.

Time passed bit by bit.

Sally had already distributed the eighth batch of weapons.

All the Black Wing Demons were equipped with long spears, and their attack power had greatly increased.

The remaining weapons, including those whose quality was below excellent, were handed over to the barbarians for temporary use.

At this time, even if they had a little more attributes, they would have a higher chance of winning against the beast tide.

The succubus and the eye demon guarded Li Xiang's left and right. They looked at the golden light in the distance that was on the verge of collapse and was ready for a big battle.

"Roar!"

It was like a roar from hell.

After this roar that was filled with the desire for flesh and blood, the golden light suddenly disappeared.

For a moment, the mountains and wilderness were filled with the sounds of response.

Countless rushing sounds were rapidly approaching the city wall in the darkness.

Soon, the first uninvited guest was revealed under the weak elemental light between heaven and earth.

It was a leopard that was four meters long.

Its body had patterns that were surging with flame light.

It seemed to have an attribute ability.

Following its appearance, more similar figures appeared in the forest behind him.

He did not know if the other three city walls were also dealing with such beasts.

Li Xiang raised his Commander's Sword high.

"Everyone, listen to my orders! Prepare to fight! Face the enemy!"

His voice reverberated in all directions.

Because his level was not high enough, it was very difficult for him to raise this sword.

But even so, Li Xiang still gritted his teeth and persevered, maintaining that moment of heroism.

The Black Wing Demons on the city wall spread their wings and raised their spears. "For the glory of the Demon Lord!"

Thousands of barbarians roared in response. "For the tribe!"

"Kill!"

"Roar!"

The Flame Leopards roared, and their small mountain-like bodies quickly approached the city wall.

The Black Wing Demons took advantage of their height to attack first.

The dark-red Light of Destruction transformed into deadly rays and accurately hit the Flame Leopards below.

At the same time, they threw out the spears in a gorgeous arc out of their hands, and it was pierced into the enemies' bodies.

They were all equipped with the best spears, and their attack power was extremely high.

Even though they were only Rank 1, they still dealt a huge amount of damage to these wild beasts.

For a time, the Flame Leopards that had just come into contact with the city walls lost a lot of HP. Some of them were unlucky enough to be targeted by the Black Wing Demons, and they were even instantly killed!

This damage was truly terrifying!

Li Xiang could already see that his EXP bar was slowly increasing.

However, these Flame Leopards were not characters that would not fight back after being hit.

They tried to use their jumping ability to reach the top of the city wall and engage in close combat with the Black Wing Demons.

However, as S-Rank soldiers, the Black Wing Demons were born with high intelligence. They were very agile and dodged the pouncing attacks. They allowed the Vine Whisker Demons at the back to use Furious Whip back at them.

Occasionally, there would be a Flame Leopard that managed to come up, but in the next second, it would be bound by the Vine Whisker Demon and be killed by them.

After that, the Vine Whisker Demons could also use their long vine whiskers to retrieve the spears that the Black Wing Demons had thrown out, allowing them to launch the second round of long-range attacks.

After rounds of attack, the Flame Leopards were completely restrained, and their numbers were rapidly reduced.

These creatures could also spit fireballs.

Unfortunately, an attack of this level was completely ineffective against an iron wall that was smelt during high temperatures.

However, this was a problem for the barbarians guarding the city gates.

The city gates that were constructed at the last minute were made of wood, and could not be watered with molten iron.

As a result, in the first wave, they encountered a leopard that possessed the fire attribute.

A few fireballs fell.

The city gates were burned, and there were large holes.

The following battle situation was somewhat tragic.

The barbarians were practically using their own lives to fill in the gaps.

This kind of creature with the strength attribute completely ignored the armor and damage reduction. If they encountered it, they would be burned by the flames and would be seriously injured!

Chapter 26: Reaching the Top of the Leaderboard!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The battle was tragic!

But even though the barbarians at the city gate had fallen one after another.

They still did not have the slightest intention of retreating.

They resolutely charged forward.

Using only their physical bodies to resist the power of the elements!

"Eye Demon!"

Li Xiang could not stand it any longer. "Help them!"

"Yes!"

The eye demon moved quickly and directly split out over a hundred small eye demons, piercing through the barbarian's formation.

Once a fireball came, the small eye demons would definitely appear and block this fatal blow for them.

However, even if the Flame Leopards didn't have elemental attacks, their physical strength was still not to be underestimated.

They had exceptionally sharp claws.

With a single palm strike, even the barbarians with thick skin and thick flesh would lose more than one-tenth of their HP.

This attack power could already be compared to Carl's.

As a normal unit, the barbarians were obviously not a match for them.

Against such elite-ranked monsters, they could only be suppressed.

However, they had the advantage of having more people.

With the help of the eye demon and the succubus, the weapons in their hands could also provide a certain amount of attack power.

Defending the city gate was not a very difficult task.

"I didn't expect the first wave of the beast tide to be so fierce."

Li Xiang could not help but worry about the situation at the other city gates, so he shared his view with Sally.

Sally immediately accepted it.

She was on the right side of the city wall of Li Xiang.

She led more than a hundred cat-eared ladies to guard the back of the city gate.

n0𝓋𝔢𝗅𝓊𝔰𝗯.𝓬0𝑚

The cat-eared ladies kept waving their hands and releasing healing light, greatly reducing the pressure on the barbarians at the frontline.

Although it was not as easy as Li Xiang's side and the losses were unavoidable, there was no big gap.

It seemed that there was no problem here.

Then, he used the small eye demon to get a view of the other two city gates.

The southern side was guarded by the dwarf tribe.

They were wearing armor and holding all kinds of weapons. They actually used their equipment advantage to rush in front of the barbarians and fight the Flame Leopards in close combat.

Especially the King of the Hill. He wielded a sledgehammer that was enchanted with the lightning attribute. With a single strike, the Flame Leopards in the surrounding area were stunned.

Immediately after, they were killed by the barbarians who caught up with them that were wielding axes.

"Why do they look like they're having an easier time defending as compared to my side?"

Li Xiang felt that it was a little ridiculous. He had the eye demon change its view and look at the last place.

This was a place guarded by the Dark Flower Goblins.

Wood-type creatures like the Flower Goblins were naturally suppressed by the fire element.

However, their advantage was that their skin was thicker than the barbarians'.

Even if they received double the magic damage, their long HP bars would still be able to last for a long time.

When the Flame Leopard's elemental ability was exhausted, it would also reach the end of its life.

The barbarians' single-target damage was not a joke.

In addition, the Black Wing Demons and the Vine Whisker Demons at the city wall contributed to the area of effect attack, so their killing efficiency was not slower than Sally's.

It seemed that the four city walls were stabilized.

Li Xiang was relieved.

He immediately ordered the succubus to attack with all her might!

When these Flame Leopards faced the Succubus, the Goddess of Fire, their elemental power instantly became insignificant.

Flame Flogging descended.

Dozens of Flame Leopards died on the spot, and even their carcasses were burned clean.

A sparkling white light shone, fusing into Li Xiang's long EXP bar.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, ruler, you have successfully leveled up to Rank 2. You have gained 5 attribute points!]

Without saying anything else, he added all the points to Power!

That was the most important thing!

After all the soldiers received a 5% attack bonus.

It further accelerated the death of the Flame Leopards.

At this moment, Li Xiang noticed a jumping exclamation mark in the upper right corner of the system panel.

He opened it and saw that it was the leaderboard for the battle against the beast tide in Region 0042.

First Place: Li Xiang, 1042 points

Second Place: Sally, 33 points

Third Place: Chris, 27 points

Fourth Place: Bam, 26 points

Fifth Place: Han Cheng, 23 points

…

He had no idea what it was for.

Maybe rewards would be given to those who made it to the list.

But the gap was quite big.

Nobody in the region had more points than him in the fight against the first wave of the beast tide.

This was a little too much.

It looked like the beast tide would also spawn corresponding numbers according to the ruler's military strength.

"I wonder if there's a world ranking board."

Li Xiang observed for a while, and he found an arrow pointing to the right.

After clicking on it, the ranking board was successfully switched.

[Resisting the Beast Tide's World Ranking Board]

First Place: Li Xiang, 1,042 points

Second Place: Lin Fan, 855 points

Third Place: Baston, 644 points

Fourth place: Henry, 581 points

Fifth Place: Anonymous, 572 points

…

It seemed that there were quite many high-ranked soldiers in the world.

Those who had more than 500 points probably had initial soldier units of S-Rank and above.

Maybe they were at SS-Rank.

And Lin Fan, who was 200 points ahead of the third place, probably had SSS-Rank talent just like him.

However, he had never heard of this person's name before. He was probably a low-key or reserved person. He had only appeared in front of the public now.

"The rankings don't represent the strongest. Maybe some of the people with good initial talent didn't develop their military strength, so they didn't face many beast tides, and their points couldn't increase."

Li Xiang felt that there were so many people who had come to the Myriad World Continent.

No matter how low the probability of drawing an SSS-Rank talent was when placed in such a large base, the final number wouldn't be small.

There would always be more experts than one could imagine.

However, at the moment, the one who seemed to be the strongest was himself.

After all, the demon race was an SSS-Rank initial soldier that had only one attribute!

Adding on an A-Rank growth talent, if he wasn't invincible, then who was?

In the arena.

The beast tide was still ongoing.

The first wave of Flame Leopards hadn't been killed off yet, and another terrifying roar came from afar.

Not long after, the second wave of beast tide arrived one after another.

It was a pack of hungry wolves!

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 27: Heavy Losses

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Compared to the first wave, the second wave of the beast tide was much easier to deal with.

Wild wolves without elemental power were not as much of a threat to the barbarians and flower goblins.

They could not even break through the defense of the dwarves.

However, according to hunters, creatures like wolves had always been said to have iron heads and bones.

This showed that wolves had extremely high defenses.

In the Myriad World Continent, they were even more so after being strengthened.

The Black Wing Demons' spears and Light of Destruction rays could not even break through the layer of black fur.

When the barbarians' swords and great axes attacked them, they only incurred scraped damage.

"Don't tell me these wolves have over ten thousand HP?"

Li Xiang was very doubtful.

[Battle Notification: Barbarians have activated Berserk, attacking Shadow Wolves, dealing 81 damage!]

[Battle Notification: Black Wing Demons have activated Light of Destruction, attacking Shadow Wolves, dealing 114 damage!]

[Battle Notification: Vine Whisker Demons have activated Furious Whip, attacking Shadow Wolves, successfully hitting their weak points, dealing 887 damage!]

Huh?

Why did it suddenly deal close to 900 damage points?

Li Xiang raised his head and looked over. A Shadow Wolf's HP bar had dropped by two-fifths under this attack. From the looks of it, the total HP of a wolf was only around 2,000.

The reason why it lost so little HP was that its defense was too high.n0𝐕𝑬𝑳𝑈𝑠𝑏.𝒸0𝑀

"Weak point…"

Li Xiang mumbled as he stared at the Vine Whisker Demons' movements. At the same time, he observed the words of the battle notification.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

More than ten seconds passed. After comparing dozens of Vine Whisker Demons' attacks, a look of realization suddenly appeared on his face.

"So it's the waist!"

"The wolf's weakness is on the waist!"

Li Xiang immediately ordered all soldier units to focus their attacks on the Shadow Wolves' waist.

For a time, the effect was very good!

The Shadow Wolf, which originally needed dozens of attacks to kill, was now easily dealt with.

Now it only needs a few attacks to finish off. It became much more efficient.

These beast tide creatures that could have relied on their thick skin and flesh to scratch the city wall were killed in an instant.

They turned into a stream of EXP and soul into Li Xiang's bag.

A lot of demons and barbarians on the front lines have leveled up.

Pretty sure that they'll have an easier time in the coming battles.

However, there were simply too many beasts in this wave.

A yellow bar that represented toughness appeared above the city wall.

Under the fearless attacks of these creatures, even though they did not cause a large number of casualties to the soldiers inside the city wall, they still lost close to 10% of their toughness.

"I don't know if it can last until the end…"

Li Xiang was a little worried.

If these wild beasts were to get close, these 10,000 barbarians would not be enough.

Fortunately, the damage output of the Black Wing Demons and succubus was high enough.

Many Shadow Wolves were instantly killed before they could even attack the city wall.

As a result, when the second wave of the beast tide ended, the toughness of the city wall was still 83%.

The weapons forged by the dwarves contributed greatly.

At least, it increased the killing efficiency of these soldiers by 50%.

"We still have to think of a way to slow down the rate at which the toughness of the city wall is dropping. Who knows, we might have to fight twelve waves."

Li Xiang turned his gaze to the city wall and suddenly said, "All Vine Whisker Demons, listen up. If any wild beasts come close to the city wall, use the vines to bind them first and then use fire to kill them!"

"Yes, Demon Lord!"

Soon, the third wave arrived.

It was a group of filthy rodents that liked to eat corpses.

They had a very strong bite force.

With one bite, a small hole was gnawed on the iron wall.

Li Xiang's arrangement was also effective at this time.

Because they stood in a centralized position, the Vine Whisker Demons could often cast a skill that could bind several of them at the same time.

In this way, their damage to the wall was very limited.

They managed to survive this wave.

After that, Li Xiang use the same method to resist the beast tide, which was very effective.

In the blink of an eye, seven waves of the beast tide had passed.

During this period, Li Xiang also encountered the second wave of beasts with elemental attributes.

However, they had a trashy ability, blindness.

This ability could be ignored by demons who were on the defensive side.

The Black Wing Demons and the Vine Whisker Demons on the city wall were using their skills to clear enemies on the ground.

The barbarians at the gate just kept slashing at the front.

They didn't panic at all.

Not to mention the small eye demons that were assisting from the side.

After reflecting the light, these wild beasts were even more blind than them.

They even attacked their companions.

They reaped what they had sown.

"It should be over soon, right?"

Li Xiang stood at a corner of the city wall and looked into the distance.

After nine consecutive waves of defense, the sky had already turned white. He believed that the beast tide would not come again after daybreak.

Li Xiang took a look at his EXP bar.

Rank 4, 96%.

He was just a little bit away from equipping the Commander's Sword.

However, he kept having a feeling of unease in his heart.

The city walls were all damaged.

During the great battle, the toughness had dropped to 17% and was on the verge of collapse.

The barbarian tribe had also suffered great losses.

The huge tribe, which originally had 10,000 people, had only a few hundred people left scattered behind a city wall.

Moreover, each of them was injured, and the total number did not exceed 2,000.

The Black Wing Demons and Vine Whisker Demons that fought from afar were still relatively complete, but their stamina could no longer keep up.

Although they were members of the demon race, they were still living creatures and not war machines.

They would get tired after fighting for a long time.

Right now, only Lin Fan and Li Xiang's world ranking points were still increasing.

Perhaps only their territory was big enough to attract so many waves of beast tides.

Or perhaps they had died in the impact of the beast tides.

However, Li Xiang still left everyone far behind.

He was ranked first with 24,000 points.

And Lin Fan, who was ranked second, only had 6,000 points.

It was four times more than that!

The effect of hundredfold soldier creation was evident in this "System Version Activity".

Unfortunately, with the loss of Li Xiang's soldiers, the number of beast tides decreased.

Otherwise, his points might have doubled.

Chapter 28: Dark Ghouls

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Why aren't they here yet?"

Li Xiang looked at the sky getting brighter and couldn't help but show a suspicious expression.

Could it be that it was the last wave?

Suddenly, the succubus stood in front of him to his left and said softly.

n0𝒱𝑒𝑙𝓊𝐬𝓑.𝓬0𝓂

"Demon Lord, a very evil power is approaching us."

Keke…

A strange sound came from the tall grass.

Li Xiang focused his eyes and saw a group of creatures crawling on all fours with an extremely high degree of decomposition.

As his rank increased, he could already read the target's attributes.

[Dark Ghoul] (Elite-Rank Unit)

Quality: A

Race: Dark Type Ghoul

Growth Rate: 7

Rank: 8

Attack: 360-820

Defense: 240

HP: 7,200

Skills: [Gnaw] [Frenzy] [Corruption Plague]

…

[System Notification: Due to a large number of corpses in your territory, you have successfully attracted the invasion of dark-type otherworld creatures. Please be prepared!]

Hearing the notification sound.

Li Xiang almost jumped up and cursed.

The beast tide was not coming, but the invasion of otherworld creatures?

And it was a Rank 8 elite-ranked unit?

What kind of joke was this?

This attack was almost on par with a Rank 1 succubus!

Looking at the group of Rank 4 demon soldiers and barbarians.

Li Xiang wanted to cry but had no tears.

A double level difference would probably bring about a 30% hidden attribute suppression.

How could he block them!

However, when all of them rushed out of the forest and arrived at the foot of the city wall, he heaved a sigh of relief.

There were not many Dark Ghouls.

There were only about 100 of them on one side of the city wall.

It was not impossible for 500 to 600 of them to appear in one wave.

The Vine Whisker Demons had already begun to restrict their movements.

However, due to their low ranks, the effects of their skills were greatly weakened.

After the Dark Ghouls were confined for a few seconds, a hint of blood appeared on its body.

It had gone into a frenzy.

All of its attributes increased.

With a swipe of its claw, the vine whiskers were instantly torn apart.

After a few rounds of attacks, the city wall was on the verge of collapsing.

"Retreat!"

Li Xiang no longer intended to defend to the last.

Without the city wall as support, close combat would definitely cause the death and injury of those low-ranked barbarians.

He had to reassemble his forces.

After sending a private message to Sally, Li Xiang informed the other tribes through the small eye demons to return to the mountain where the Demon Lair was located.

The dwarves and flower goblins rushed over one after another.

They suffered heavy casualties.

Especially the dwarf tribe.

There were originally hundreds of people, but now there were only about twenty of them.

The King of the Hill was injured, and it looked like he didn't have any combat ability anymore.

"My Lord, those ghouls are too strong. The city wall has fallen." He and Carl, who were defending together, looked ashamed.

"It's not your fault, as long as they're okay."

Li Xiang patted their shoulders, and he turned his gaze to the Flower Goblin tribe.

Originally, there were 4,000 Dark Flower Goblins, but now, there were only 1,000 survivors.

They didn't have the ability to attack, but after experiencing ten waves of beast tides, they could still maintain a quarter of their survival rate, which was already very good.

This was thanks to the control effect of [Rosemary Pollen, which provided a large amount of buffer time for the battle line.

"Get in formation!"

Li Xiang pointed at the ghouls that had broken through the city wall and were charging towards them. "The Flower Goblin tribe and the Vine Whisker Demons will defend at the outermost perimeter. Use your skills to restrict them. Every second counts! The barbarian tribe and the dwarf tribe should try their best not to get close to them. Their bodies are infected by the plague. If you were wounded by them, you will get infected! The Black Wing Demons will pay attention to the ghouls closest to them. You have to focus on firing at the ghouls so that their numbers could quickly reduce, or else the front row would not be able to hold on! The cat-eared ladies' healing should not stop. No matter how tired, you must persevere. It will be the last battle!"

"Kill!"

The response shook the heavens.

Not long after, the ghoul tide arrived!

The strange thing was that each of them was carrying a beast corpse on their back.

"What is it used for?" Li Xiang could not figure out the reason.

After a round of attacks, the ghouls used their actions to tell him the answer.

They grabbed the corpses on their backs to their mouths and used their gnawing skills to devour them wantonly. Their HP instantly increased by more than 1,000 points per second.

This was too shameless!

They could not be killed at all!

Immediately after that, the ghouls that followed after the ghoul broke free and charged forward. They could usually take the life of a Flower Goblin with just a few claws.

Within a short period of time, the battle line was on the verge of collapse.

"Succubus, Eye Demon, attack together!"

Li Xiang couldn't sit still anymore. He had survived the first nine waves. He couldn't possibly fall at this last moment!

The succubus and eye demon understood.

Having worked together once before, they released Flame Flogging and Fission Rebound skills with ease.

This time, it triggered a threefold increase!

Boom!

With a loud boom, this skill, which could be considered a forbidden spell, covered all the Dark Ghouls present.

The blazing flames even melted the iron sheet covering the city wall in the distance, revealing the stone that was being burnt red-hot inside.

The ghouls at the center of the skill lost 80% of their extremely long HP in an instant.

Moreover, they were continuously reduced by the sequent burning effect.

Li Xiang thought that if it weren't for the small eye demons constantly deflecting the heat energy around them, they might have been wiped out by this skill.

The succubus's attack power was no joke.

Now that she was Rank 4, she had over 2,000 basic attack power with her weapon.

Compared to when she was Rank 1, her attack power had more than doubled.

Adding in the 30% attack power bonus and the increased damage from the eye demon's skill, she had almost killed the frenzied Dark Ghouls that were at full HP.

Although it did not die, the corpse of the beast that was used to recover its HP had already turned into ashes in the high temperature.

For the Black Wing Demons, dealing with the ghouls with low HP was very easy.

A round of Light of Destruction shot down.

The dozens of ghouls at the front fell one after another, turning into a large amount of EXP points and Soul Points.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, ruler, for successfully reaching Rank 5!]

Killing monsters of different levels gave him a lot of EXP.

Most importantly, he could now equip the Commander's Sword!

Without saying anything, Li Xiang grabbed the unique weapon with a flip of his hand.

Immediately, a majestic power was transferred from the sword, giving him a feeling that he had to spit it out.

He couldn't help but shout.

Golden light spread out from the sword and spread across the entire area.

The soldiers who were hit by the light were greatly energized as if a special power had awakened from their bodies.

The effect of [Personal Conqueror] was activated!

Chapter 29: The Unique Legion Magic Shield, the Succubus With 7,000 Attack Power!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

This characteristic had a 20% increase in attack power. Together with the additional 22 points of power from this sword, it directly increased the attack power of everyone present by nearly half!

Originally, the Black Wing Demons could only deal single-digit damage by throwing their spears, which only counted the attack power of their weapons.

But now, it had risen to three digits, which could greatly break through their defenses.

The Light of Destruction caused them to suffer even more, and they fell like wheat getting harvested.

With enough damage dealt from the back row, the losses in the front row became very low.

The Flower Goblins and the Vine Whisker Demons that were immune to the poison would not be instantly killed by the ghouls.

Sometimes, they would receive damage once or twice, but the lost HP would quickly recover under the cat-eared ladies' healing light.

The line of defense instantly became indestructible.

The succubus's skill's cooldown was a little long, but she relied on her high attributes to charge into the ghouls with low HP. She could take down one of them with a whip.

He won!

Li Xiang's lips curled up into a faint smile.

The Commander's Sword was very crucial.

If he hadn't reached Rank 5 by now, the ghouls would only need to kill the Flower Goblins and Vine Whisker Demons to recover their HP.

In this way, the succubus and the eye demon's skills wouldn't be of much use.

Although the succubus was strong, she couldn't kill all the ghouls in one go.

Moreover, her rank was not high. If she fell into the elite-ranked Dark Ghoul horde, she would be in danger.

However, everything was over now!

The last wave of the beast tide had become the target of torture.

Hundreds of ghouls had lost more than half of their members in a short period of time.

Just as Li Xiang was considering whether to change the defensive line and crush them, the ghouls suddenly stopped attacking and turned around to escape.

At the same time, the system issued a notification.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to all rulers who can still hear the broadcast. You have successfully withstood the initial beast tide. In a while, you will be rewarded according to the number of points you have obtained. The more points you have, the better! In the future, you will still be facing unknown threats. Please be on guard at all times and maintain full vigilance so that you can walk further and further in this world.]

[System Notification: Congratulations, Ruler Li Xiang. You are ranked first on the Resisting the Beast Tide's World Ranking Board. You have received a reward of 3 ranks and 3 ranks for all soldier units. Due to your outstanding performance, you have received an additional reward, Legion Magic Shield (Unique). Congratulations on being ranked first in the region's resisting the beast tide's ranking board. You have received a reward of 2 ranks and 2 ranks for all soldier units. Due to your outstanding performance, you have received an additional reward of 80% resurrection for all soldier units that have died!]

Rank?

Soldiers' recovery?

These were not important!

Li Xiang immediately opened the Legion Magic Shield's equipment panel. This was the best item!

[Legion Magic Shield]

Grade: Unique

Defense: 270

Power: 35

Vitality: 21

Equip Level: 10

Characteristics: [Party Protection] — The wielder will increase the armor defense of all ally units in a certain area by 30% and provide an additional 10% damage immunity.

Special Effect: [Demonic Aura Protection] — Summons a demonic aura to protect oneself. The toughness is related to the number and quality of ally units nearby.

Additional Effect: Increases the wielder's defense by 35%.

Additional Effect: Increases the wielder's attack by 30%.

…

This attribute was really overbearing!

It was a shield that could both attack and defend.

The best part of the unique equipment was the large increase in attributes.

After equipping such a level 10 shield and adding the additional attribute points that came along with the level 5 system reward, after adding all of their strength, it directly provided a 90% increase in attack power for everyone.

It was 90%!

And not 9%!

When he looked at the panel, the succubus's attack power was almost over 7,000!

It was only the third day!

Countless soldiers had difficulty even breaking through 100 attack points.

He already had a subordinate with an attack power of 7,000?

How terrifying!

Li Xiang was a little carried away. He began to consider whether he should take a stroll on the land outside of Region 0042.

However, now was not the time to go out and explore. He still had to repair the damaged city walls.

At the same time, he would make more weapons and strive to equip everyone.

The whole day went by.

Sally had accumulated a lot of points because her cat-eared ladies never stopped healing. She was ranked second in Region 0042.

The reward she got was not bad. It was a large number of basic resources. She could make a lot of soldiers and continue to develop.

Li Xiang got a lot for free.

First, the dwarf tribe needed to expand. Second, the goblins needed a lot of manpower.

The more mines there were, the faster weapons could be built.

Only then could the requirements of the hundredfold soldier creation be met.

As the population increased, the food supply became a problem.

Fortunately, there was a lot of meat to be recycled in this beast tide. Otherwise, this problem would not be able to solve in a short time.

But this was not a long-term solution.

The most important thing was to let the Flower Goblins farm.

It was nighttime.

Li Xiang's territory was 10 km x 10 km, and the city had just begun to take shape. There were already close to 60,000 people living there.

Among them, 20,000 were Barbarians.

They were the core of the construction. The city walls, houses, workshops, and so on. All of these had to be done by these people.

10,000 Flower Goblins were in charge of collecting seeds, farming, and expanding the variety of food.

The 10,000 Dwarves were used to create equipment for the frontline combat personnel.

The 10,000 Goblins dug in the mines day and night, providing raw iron ore for the dwarves.n0𝚟𝓮𝑙𝓊𝐬𝒷.𝚌0𝗆

The rest were Li Xiang's own demon soldiers and Sally's beast-eared ladies' tribe, which added up to less than 10,000 people.

In fact, after such a battle, the Demon Lair had already accumulated over 870,000 Soul Points. If he wanted to increase his soldiers, he could summon tens of thousands of them at any time.

However, he did not do so.

Li Xiang felt that the Black Wing Demons and the Vine Whisker Demons could not be used as main combat soldiers, so there was no need to recruit more.

As long as it was enough for the time being.

It would not be too late to use the Soul Points until there were new soldiers.

"Sally, how's the situation with the weapons?"

Li Xiang opened a private chat and asked.

Sally had already brought the beast-eared ladies to change their jobs to classify the weapons for the dwarves. During this time, there were a few more unique weapons, but the effects were all individual buffs. There was no special effect like the Commander's Sword.

Such weapons were naturally handed over to Carl and Sally to use.

"Boss, currently more than 60% of the people are now equipped with weapons of excellent quality and above. Currently, there are 5,000 defective weapons accumulated in the warehouse. Do you want to trade them?"

"Yes, bring them over."

"Okay."

Not long after, Sally rushed over with over 1,000 beast-eared ladies. Common and superior quality weapons were piled on the ground.

Li Xiang put all of these weapons up for sale. The price was still 10 times the recommended price.

For a moment, the world channel was in an uproar.

Chapter 30: Arms Dealer?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Damn, am I seeing things? There are weapons on sale in the trading zone? People are selling these things now?"

"These can only be obtained by attacking a neutral tribe, right? The beast tide has just ended, how could there be enough soldiers and time to attack others!"

"Pay attention to the seller. It's Boss Li Xiang!"

"Ah? It's him, then it's fine."

"… I just flipped through the items. Boss Li Xiang has a total of 50 pages of weapons, 100 pieces per page. I'm very curious where he got so many pieces of equipment."

"A terrifying amount? What's terrifying is the quality! [Quenched Long Sword (Superior) Illustration Manual] look at this sword, darn it. It has both power and agility, 35 points of maximum attack, and it also has a special effect, it's simply superb!"

"What the hell. It actually has such a high attack. It's even higher than my two soldiers tied together. If I had this sword during the beast tide, wouldn't I be able to kill it directly?"

"But it's so expensive. This sword actually costs 4,000 units of wood or stones. Who can afford it?"n0𝚟𝑬𝗅𝑢𝐬𝔟.𝔠0𝑀

"Profiteer! Definitely a profiteer!"

"Boss Li Xiang's classic ten times the recommended price. If you want to buy it, then buy it. If you don't want to buy it, then forget it."

"That's right. If you have the ability, then sell it. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to bear to part with it!"

"Sigh, even the cheapest one costs a few hundred units. How long will it take to save up the materials?"

"I can also exchange it for other valuable items. I got some special items from this beast tide. The recommended price is more than a hundred units. I feel like I can exchange it for a better weapon."

"The ranking reward gave me an item that can sell for 1,000 units of stones at the recommended price! It said that it was some enchantment material. Damn it, I thought it was useless at first, but now I can directly take off!"

"I'm so envious. Unlike me, I don't have anything… sigh."

…

Soon, the sound of successful transactions rang in Li Xiang's mind one after another.

It seemed that many people had made a small fortune because of this beast tide.

However, in the end, all the profit went into his pocket.

The most valuable material at the moment was the enchantment material.

It was called an ice crystal ore. It was a relatively rare treasure.

This material had been marked in the Elementary Enchantment Technique Illustration Manual. It could be used to advance enchantment and improve the effects of ice-type enchantment.

Since it was not useful at the moment, he threw it into the warehouse!

Other than that, most of the items were not worth his attention. He took them out from the system mailbox one by one and gave them to Sally to categorize.

Currently, there was no market for weapons.

When a weapon gets sold, there will be one less for sale.

Therefore, the notification of the successful transaction kept ringing.

In the blink of an eye, less than half of the 5,000 weapons were left. Most of them were common quality trash weapons. Not only did they have low attacks, but their additional attributes were not high either.

Those who had the ability would look down on them, while those who did not have the ability would not be able to afford them.

However, Li Xiang had no intention of lowering the price.

Not being able to afford them was only temporary.

As long as these weapons were hung there, the rulers at the bottom would work hard to develop and buy one.

As time went by, it would add up. He wanted to see the day when his own resource warehouse was filled to the brim.

[Ding!]

[You have received a private message!]

Huh?

Someone was looking for him?

Li Xiang opened it and saw that it was a person with a wolf head.

The profile picture was linked to the initial soldier type. Li Xiang's profile picture was a ball of purple gas. It looked very chaotic and looked very evil.

It was not difficult to determine that the enemy's soldier was a werewolf. According to the legends, it was also a powerful race. Its rank would not be lower than a B-Rank.

It should be a person with resources.

So Li Xiang looked at the message.

Werewolf King: "Brother Li Xiang, my initial soldier is an A-Rank, and I have a proposal where both of us can make money together. I wonder if you are interested."

Li Xiang: "Speak."

His reply was straightforward and cold.

Werewolf King: "Well, I am currently fighting with a king with a Tauren army, but our strength is not that different, so I want to buy some weapons from you."

Li Xiang: "What can you offer me?"

Werewolf King: "After I take down that idiot's territory, it will be split into 70/30. You will take 70%, and I 30%, I'll help you collect the resources and send them over, how about that?"

Li Xiang smiled.

The most important thing in a territory was the core.

He didn't mention a word about this, he was "sincere" indeed.

He replied immediately.

"I'm not interested in his territory. If you want weapons, you shall submit to me."

"Impossible. I won't bend over or bend my knees for anyone."

"Goodbye."

Li Xiang blacklisted him directly.

If he didn't agree, then forget it. He wouldn't waste his time on such a person.

But not long after, he received another private message.

The avatar was a bull's head.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Li Xiang laughed out loud. Two rulers were fighting over there, and they came to him one after another to buy weapons and equipment?

Then what was he?

An arms dealer?

He opened the message and saw that it was indeed the Tauren King who was fighting with the Werewolf King.

But the content was slightly different.

Tauren King: "Boss Li Xiang, I'm being targeted by the Werewolf King next door. Can you help provide me with a batch of weapons? I'll return them to you when I'm done."

Li Xiang: "Do I know you well?"

Tauren King: "Please, Boss, only you can help me now. If I don't have this batch of weapons to support me, I'll definitely be exterminated by the werewolves!"

Li Xiang: "It has nothing to do with me. Of course, if you really want a batch of weapons, it's not impossible. If you submit to me, you can get 500 excellent quality spears."

Tauren King: "… Submit… This might not be possible. How about this, Boss. I'll cede a part of my territory to you. There's a wonder in there. If I use this to exchange for weapons, you definitely won't be losing out."

A wonder?

Hearing this word, Li Xiang's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

At present, he knew very little about wonders.

But it wasn't difficult to learn from the various descriptions of the Ancient Well of Darkness.

Wonders were unique to the territory.

They had special effects.

They could be stacked.

The higher the grade, the stronger the effect.

Those above S-Rank were very rare. There might not be many of them in the entire world.

To be honest, Li Xiang was tempted by this condition.

Chapter 31: Encroaching Upon the Forest of Ice and Fire!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

He could not help but ask further.

Li Xiang: "What is the name of that wonder, and what is its use?"

Tauren King: "This wonder is called the Forest of Ice and Fire. I do not know what its use is, nor am I clear of its grade. I had sent scouts to investigate it previously. I had originally planned to go in to extract resources, but who knew that it would be filled with methane gas and poisonous gas. I sent dozens of Tauren to force their way in, but only one came out alive. They said that there were powerful wood-type creatures guarding the depths. Sigh, if it wasn't for the beast tide and the heavy losses from this exploration, I wouldn't be unable to defeat the werewolf next door.

Li Xiang thought for a while. "Wait a moment. I have something to do."

Tauren King: "Mm-hmm, Boss, hurry up, I… It is quite urgent."

Li Xiang then closed the chatbox.

Forest of Ice and Fire…

He had never heard of this name. It could be said that he knew nothing about it.

Therefore, he had to ask someone to confirm what the Tauren King said was true.

"Eye Demon."

"My respected and noble Demon Lord, what can I do for you?"

"Have you heard of the Forest of Ice and Fire?"

"Huh?"

The eye demon was stunned for a moment.

Forest of Ice and Fire?

What was that?

Although he was a scholar, he wasn't the kind of scholar who memorized the names of all the places in the world.

He would definitely not have memories of places that the small eye demons had not explored!

Seeing its expression, Li Xiang knew that it was hopeless.

He shook his head and left.

There was still one person in the territory that he could ask.

The Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree!

She had lived for more than ten thousand years, so she must be very knowledgeable!

"Forest of Ice and Fire?"

Upon hearing this name, the Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree was very surprised. "Lord, how did you know this name?"

"I heard it by chance. Why, is there a problem?" Li Xiang did not give a detailed explanation.

The branches of the Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree trembled slightly, and its huge body shook twice. Countless green leaves fell with it, condensing into a beautiful woman full of charm.

She was different from the ordinary Flower Goblins whose lower body was a tree. She had a pair of slender legs, and her skin was delicate and snow-white, like white jade.

"That place… is the home of the Flower Goblins…"

Her voice had a hint of poignant beauty, making people involuntarily feel a sense of heartache and want to pity her. "It's been a long time since I've gone back to take a look. I really miss that place…"

"Please give a brief introduction of the situation in the Forest of Ice and Fire." Li Xiang did not have the habit of asking about other people's past.

The Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree nodded gently. The longing in its eyes disappeared as it slowly narrated.

Li Xiang listened patiently.

The Forest of Ice and Fire was just as the Tauren King had said. The air was filled with a poisonous fog.

The terrain and landforms were also the same.

Most importantly, the Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree told him something that the Tauren King did not know.

Deep in the Forest of Ice and Fire, there were ice crystal ores, winter thorn grass, the essence of wind, lava, and other rare treasures.

They were all precious resources that could be used for enchantment!

If that was the case, then he was determined to obtain this wonder!

The difference between a weapon before enchantment and after enchantment was too great.

For example, although Li Xiang had never used the [Poison Flame] enchantment ability before, just the data displayed on the panel was enough to attract his attention.

Hence, Li Xiang immediately contacted the Tauren King and asked him to send the location of the Forest of Ice and Fire over. At the same time, he sent someone to send the weapons over.

The Tauren King did as he was told, and he was very grateful to Li Xiang. He wasn't worried that Li Xiang would send soldiers over to flatten him. He praised and laughed, addressing him big brother.

This made Li Xiang feel a little embarrassed.

At that moment…

[System Announcement: Congratulations to Lin Fan for discovering a wonder. He has become the fifth ruler to possess a wonder. The Cultural Competition Mode has been successfully activated!]

[Cultural Competition Mode]

…

[System Notification: Attention, your cultural ranking has dropped. Current ranking, second!]

Li Xiang raised his eyebrows.n0𝚟𝓮𝑙𝓊𝐬𝒷.𝚌0𝗆

Unknowingly, he had been stepped down by someone?

Although he knew that there were countless powerful people in this world, so he definitely wouldn't be able to occupy the first place in all the rankings, he didn't expect this day to come so early.

To be honest, after this Cultural Competition Mode was released, he was quite greedy for the first place reward.

After all, the effect of the Ancient Well of Darkness was obvious. If he could double the succubus's charging efficiency, then the frequency of Flame Flogging would also be doubled.

With the eye demon, the world could be wiped out!

He definitely wouldn't give such a good thing to anyone else.

When the Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree heard that Li Xiang was going to send people to the Forest of Ice and Fire, it turned around and took out a small green ball.

"My Lord, if you want to go, you must bring this with you. It can protect you from the creatures in the Forest of Ice and Fire."

It was the [Soul of Wood].

This object should be very important to her.

If he didn't save her life, the mother tree would never hand it over.

Li Xiang smiled. "I won't go this time, but I'll let your tribe's team leader, Lina, lead the team to the Forest of Ice and Fire to gather resources. I'll leave this Soul of Wood to her later."

The Dark Flower Goblin Mother Tree appeared hesitant. "But… the Flower Goblins don't have the ability to protect themselves… the journey is so far, I'm afraid that they'll…"

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to follow." Li Xiang interrupted her. "Their mission this time is to collect. Only collecting."

Only then did she feel relieved.

Soon, ten thousand newly recruited Dark Flower Goblins set off under Lina's lead.

The Forest of Ice and Fire was located outside Region 0042. It was a long journey, so it should take some time.

Li Xiang sent another 1,000 Black Wing Demons, 1,000 Vine Whisker Demons, and 2,000 Barbarians to protect them.

With such a powerful force, he believed that most of the rulers would not plot against them.

A whole day passed.

At noon the next day, the Tauren King sent news that the weapons had been received, and he handed over the territorial rights of the area where the Forest of Ice and Fire was located.

Li Xiang's ruler panel also showed the relevant information.

Unfortunately, the territory was not connected, so there was no way to obtain the strange effects of the Forest of Ice and Fire.

…

In the afternoon, the Tauren side took the initiative to attack the werewolf tribe's residential camp.

With the weapons, the attributes were completely suppressed, forcing the werewolves to flee.

"Damn Li Xiang! He must have assisted the Tauren tribe!"

The Werewolf King took the rest of the pack into the jungle. "Just wait and see! Don't think you're the only one who can get the equipment!"

Chapter 32: Subduing the Second Ruler, Demon Beast Bloodline!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A few hours later.

Li Xiang suddenly received a call request from the Tauren King.

"Could there be an accident?"

Li Xiang thought for a moment and chose to answer the call.

A simple and honest voice sounded.

"Boss Li Xiang, something bad has happened. Those werewolves collected a batch of armor from God knows where, and its defense is exceptionally high. Even if my subordinates were equipped with superior-quality weapons, they could not cut them down."

When the Tauren King spoke, it was accompanied by rapid gasps as if he was running for his life.

Was he criticizing him? Or was he asking for a change of weapons?

Li Xiang instantly thought of two possibilities. He couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although he had given him defective weapons, at least half of them were superior-quality.

It was more than enough to deal with a battle at their level.

In fact, they had also won the battle, allowing the Tauren tribe to occupy a lot of territory for nothing.

But now, the Werewolf King had thought of a way to get better equipment.

That was because the Werewolf King was very capable and powerful enough.

Why did he look for him?

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me." Li Xiang's voice was flat. "Once the weapon is sold, it will not be returned or exchanged."

"I'm not here to return it… Boss, didn't you send a lot of soldiers to guard the Forest of Ice and Fire… I'm thinking…"

The Tauren King hesitated for a moment, but finally opened his mouth, "I want to ask for your help, to send some soldiers to protect me for a period of time… of course, there's a reward."

Li Xiang chuckled. "What do you take me for, a mercenary? Bribing me with some money or resources?"

The Tauren King immediately choked.

That's right.

Li Xiang was currently number one in both the Military and Business rankings and number two in the Culture rankings.

He was even more outstanding on the beast tide's ranking board, surpassing the second place many times.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was number one in the world.

Would such a ruler lack resources?

The Tauren King couldn't help but feel despair. If he couldn't get Li Xiang's help, then he would really be wiped out by the Werewolf King.

However, Li Xiang's second sentence gave him hope.

"Of course, if you're going to join me and submit to me, then it's only right that I help you."

There was a hint of temptation in Li Xiang's voice. "If you agree, I'll also give preferential treatment to you and your soldiers. You'll get 5% of the resources in the warehouse, and there will be an endless supply of even better weapons. How about it?"

The Tauren King fell silent.

He had heard this phrase twice.

The olive branch was extended by the world's number one person. Since he was just a small A-Rank initial soldiers' ruler, it would be a complete lie to say that he had no thoughts at all.

However, if he could survive on his own, how could he be willing to rely on others?

This was the reason why he had refused before.

But now, the werewolf tribe was chasing him relentlessly.

If there was no external assistance, it would be a dead end.

Now, the opportunity was right in front of him.

Li Xiang even offered such a good condition.

To be honest, he was tempted!

"I definitely won't have a good life if I fall into the hands of the Werewolf King. Alright! Boss Li Xiang, I'll follow you! I'll follow your lead in the future!"

[Ding!]

[The Tauren ruler has applied to become your subordinate tribe. He has taken the initiative to offer the core of his territory. Do you agree?]

"Yes!"

After Li Xiang accepted the request, he immediately mobilized the soldiers in the Forest of Ice and Fire. "You should head west. My subordinates will go and receive you."

"Thank you, Boss!"

The Tauren King sincerely thanked him.n0𝒱𝓔𝗅𝓊𝗌𝗯.𝓬0𝕞

No matter what, he could finally live on!

After ending the call, Li Xiang began to check the system panel. He discovered that the core of the Tauren King's territory had already been sent by mail.

It was directly devoured!

[Ding! Congratulations, ruler, for successfully obtaining a piece of ruler's territory. The original ability Beast Bloodline (A) has been upgraded to Demon Beast Bloodline (S)!]

[Beast Bloodline (A): When a beast soldier is being nurtured, there is a certain probability of receiving the Beast Bloodline's bonus, increasing its attack and defense.

[Demon Beast Bloodline (S): When a beast soldier is being nurtured, there is a certain probability of having a genetic mutation, becoming an even more powerful demon beast.

Li Xiang's eyes lit up.

Mutate their genes into a demon beast?

Damn, he wondered if he could let others ride on it and combine it into a cavalry unit.

If he could, once the number of such soldiers increases, they will form a powerful fighting force and become very powerful on the plains.

If they encounter a crisis like the beast tide again, there is no need to passively defend the city.

Li Xiang was very satisfied.

It could only be said that using a small number of resources in exchange for an S-Rank territory talent was a huge profit!

Very quickly, the first batch of demon soldiers rushed to the battlefield and saved the Tauren King, who only had a dozen people left.

The Black Wing Demons were the fastest, and their damage was also the highest.

Now that they were Rank 10, they were all equipped with weapons of perfect grade and above, and their attack power had long exceeded 1,000.

How could these werewolves be a match for the Black Wing Demons?

They were easily dealt with!

It was easier than chopping a watermelon!

The Tauren King saw this and had a preliminary estimate of Li Xiang's strength.

It could only be said to be unfathomable!

Even an A-Rank werewolf soldier was instantly killed.

And it was even under the condition of wearing armor.

Even SS-Rank soldiers might not be able to do it, right?

The Tauren King's rank was not low. Immediately, he checked the details of the Black Wing Demon's attributes through the system.

Then, he stared at the four-digit attack attributes and cried out in surprise.

"What the heck! It's clearly a group of S-Rank soldiers. Why is their attack so high?"

He could not understand.

Although his Tauren had not reached Rank 10, they were at least the type with high attack power among the A-Rank soldiers.

In the end, when compared to the Black Wing Demons.

They are not even one-fifth of it.

While the Tauren King had suffered a huge blow, he also had respect for Li Xiang.

Hanging out with such a big shot would definitely have a bright future!

It was a pity.

When the Werewolf King saw that something was wrong, he immediately ran away.

In the forest, the Black Wing Demons were not easy to track, so he could only give up.
