Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate-Chapter 159 - 158: Bone-Chilling Cold
"Why did you seek me out?"
Lin You ignored the reactions of the people around him and asked directly.
"It’s like this, His Highness asked me to give you something."
Speaking, Zhou Yuanwei took a token out from his sleeve and handed it to Lin You.
"What is this?" Lin You looked puzzled.
"This is His Highness’s personal token. With this item, sir can come to the Prince’s Mansion anytime to find His Highness. Just now, you left in a hurry, so His Highness specially asked me to send it over."
"Alright, I’ll take it for now. You go back and tell the Third Prince that if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll visit the mansion."
Lin You took the token and stored it in his personal space.
He didn’t expect Qin Li to be so persistent in trying to recruit him.
After all, he was just a Tier Six Lord who had arrived at the Main City two days ago. He didn’t seem like someone worth recruiting.
And doing it in front of so many people, giving him the token.
Whether he took it or not, he would be labeled as part of the Third Prince’s faction, instantly pushing him to the opposite sides of the Eldest Prince and Second Princess.
Truly scheming deeply.
Indeed, nobody in the royal family is easy to handle; better to stay away from them.
With that.
Zhou Yuanwei bid farewell to Lin You and went back to report to Qin Li.
Lin You, under the shocked eyes of everyone, left the mission hall.
And when he passed by Pei Yushan and several others, he could clearly see their bodies tremble severely, their faces full of panic.
Until Lin You walked away, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and almost couldn’t stand, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Just now...
They were actually mocking someone associated with the Third Prince!
Not to mention Pei Yushan.
Even his companions beside him felt a chill down their spines, falling into deep fear.
Considering Zhou Yuanwei’s attitude towards Lin You, if Lin You said anything bad about them to Zhou Yuanwei, they might not be able to survive in the Empire, maybe even losing their territory!
How could they dare stay here? They immediately supported each other and fled, disappearing in an instant.
After today’s incident.
They probably wouldn’t dare to find trouble with Lin You ever again.
Of course.
Even if they wanted to trouble Lin You, he wouldn’t be afraid.
It would just take a bit more effort.
...
After leaving the main street.
Lin You didn’t pause, quickly arriving at the Teleportation Plaza near the city gates, directly teleporting back to his territory.
Because he suddenly remembered he had forgotten something.
Which was to upgrade Cyan Gang to Tier Seven first.
So once he returned to the territory, he called Cyan Gang over and took out two Experience Balls.
[Do you want to use the Experience Ball (Tier Six) on Tree Spirit General Cyan Gang?]
"Yes."
With a response, the two Experience Balls vanished, transforming into flowing light and merging into Cyan Gang’s body.
Swoosh!
Light shone.
[Congratulations, Tree Spirit General Cyan Gang has reached full experience and meets the requirements to upgrade to Tier Seven. Would you like to upgrade?]
"Upgrade."
Instantly, Cyan Gang’s nearly ten-meter body quickly grew taller, gradually expanding to an exaggerated twenty-meter height.
Its branches atop its head grew more lush, and its limbs became several times thicker than before.
Successfully evolving into a majestic Ancient War Tree!
Next.
Lin You had Cyan Gang stand in the Hero Transformation Pool.
After a glow of light, it finally transformed into a Heroic Species like Lingxi and the others.
[Name: Ancient War Tree Cyan Gang (Royal Family)]
[Race: Plant]
[Level: Tier Seven (97/2500)]
[Power: 1000]
[Constitution: 1000]
[Agility: 755]
[Spirit: 755]
[Skills: Hardening, War Trample, Barbaric Roar (Unleash an angry roar, raising all attributes of friendly units by 30%, lasting 30 seconds.), Gravity Field (Control gravity to form a gravity field around, slowing enemy actions while boosting friendly speed within the range.)]
[Commanding Battlefield: When this species is present, all friendly close combat units have their defense increased by 20%]
[Introduction: A massive ancient tree born for war, charging into battle, tearing apart enemy defenses, serving as the most solid shield and vanguard in warfare.]
Cyan Gang at Tier Seven finally fully displayed its astonishing battlefield talents.
Not only does it boast short-term bursts, but it also has a Gravity Field skill that other Ancient War Trees don’t have.
Its exclusive talent is excellent, significantly enhancing the survival ability of front-line units and providing excellent space for rear-line output.
Paired with the multitude of close combat Tree Demons summoned by the Ancient Natural Tree, it’s terrifying.
Even Demon King Dragon, Demon Consort Dragon, Blade Shadow Lion, and Cactus can benefit.
"Since that’s the case, let’s equip you with Moss and Thorn Shield as well."
Lin You considered for a moment, then allowed a Tier Seven Armored Moss to symbiosis with Cyan Gang, and arranged a Tier Seven Profound Turtle Thorn Shield for it.
In the blink of an eye, Cyan Gang’s attributes reached a very frightening level.
It instantaneously became his strongest close combat species!
Having done all this, Lin You finally felt satisfied and teleported back to the Main City.
Then he took Lingxi and several flying species out of the city, flying straight toward the battlefield, gradually leaving the Main City behind.
After spending an hour and a half.
He finally crossed the checkpoint, arriving at a forest area forty kilometers south of it.
Far off in the distance, he could already see a vast stretch of black water.
It should undoubtedly be Black Water Lake as mentioned in the commission.
Without much thought, he directly had the Demon King Dragon below him turn and rushed over.
And as he flew over the trees, he could vaguely see several figures engaged in battle in the forest, seemingly other lords hunting demons.
To avoid stirring up trouble.
Lin You accelerated over their heads.
Soon, he flew out of the forest, arriving near Black Water Lake, steadily landing by the shore.
The cold wind over the lake kept sweeping over his face, bringing a chill.
It seemed colder than he expected.
"Hmm?"
Just upon landing, Lin You couldn’t help but exclaim softly, his brow gradually furrowing.
According to the commission, the area around Black Water Lake should have many Black Water Crocodiles.
But now, it was silent all around, not a shadow to be seen, let alone Black Water Crocodiles.
Could it be that other lords got here first?
Or did he come to the wrong place?
Lin You wondered, jumping off the Demon King Dragon’s back and slowly coming to the edge of the lake.
His gaze wandered over the empty shoreline and the vast black water before him with nothing else in sight.
Yet upon closer inspection.
The surroundings of the lake still had many remnants of combat, seemingly just recently formed and not like marks left by crocodiles.
Something strange...
Lin You’s expression grew increasingly somber as he slowly retreated to where the species were.
He was a bit worried there might be some high-tier existence lying in ambush here, and losing his life over a commission wouldn’t be worth it.
With this in mind, he quickly jumped onto the Demon King Dragon’s back, planning to scout the area from the air first.
However, just at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The originally calm lake surface suddenly surged with massive waves.
Several terrifyingly powerful ice pillars suddenly burst out from the surrounding black water, shooting toward him!
The speed of those ice pillars was incredibly fast.
Even faster than most Tier Seven species!
Leaving no chance for the species beside him to rescue, they rapidly closed in on him, along with bone-chilling coldness, seemingly freezing him solid.
In a moment of life and death, Lin You managed to twist his body, narrowly dodging as the ice cone grazed past his shoulder.
Tearing!
His clothing shredded, leaving a gash on his shoulder as coldness seeped inside, seemingly freezing his very blood.
"Hm? You actually dodged it?"
