Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate-Chapter 249 - 247: Struggle for the Treasure

"Roar—"

A roar filled with unwillingness echoed throughout the Thousand Stone Forest.

Under the frenzied assault of the Realm Lords, the Calamity Ancestor Turtle’s shell was finally pierced, and it collapsed to the ground.

Seeing it grievously injured and near death, all the Lords felt a simultaneous shock, slowly advancing towards it with their species.

Obviously, they all wanted to rush forward immediately to seize the rewards dropped by the Lord Demon.

Lin You naturally thought the same, having long aimed his cannon at the weak points of the Calamity Ancestor Turtle, ready to fire.

Gradually.

The Lords began to hold their breath, and the atmosphere became tense.

"Go up and finish it off!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.

An Eight-tier Demon-type Lord hidden among the crowd suddenly erupted.

Beside him, a Nine-tier Demon raised a Dark Long Spear, swiftly swooping towards the heart of the Calamity Ancestor Turtle.

Thud!

Howl!!

The sound of flesh being pierced was accompanied by a terrifying scream from the Calamity Ancestor Turtle, echoing in the ears of all the Lords.

[Congratulations, you successfully killed the Eight-tier Lord Demon and gained 100,000 Magic Energy points.]

The sudden change startled all the Lords.

No one expected that among the crowd there was hidden an Eight-tier Lord, who even brought a Nine-tier Species!

Just then, with a "Bang", the Calamity Ancestor Turtle’s body exploded, shattering into countless energy fragments that condensed into glowing items in the air.

Scattered like the Fairy scattering flowers.

Among these, there was a Tier Eight Territory Essence, ten Tier Seven Territory Essences, and three treasures glowing with golden light!

At the moment these items appeared, the Eight-tier Lord was the first to act, heading straight for the Tier Eight Territory Essence and the nearest treasure to him, putting them in his arms, then turned around and fled.

"Not good! The treasures were stolen!"

"Quick, stop him! Don’t let him escape!"

"Put down the treasures!!"

The Lords shouted angrily, finally reacting, immediately surrounding the Eight-tier Lord.

The Eight-tier Lord knew the principle that two fists can’t fight four hands.

Even though he had a Nine-tier Species, he couldn’t withstand the surge of Eight-tier Species. With a leap, he was carried into the sky by his Demon, flying away from the encirclement at top speed.

As for the remaining Lords, they were instantly thrown into chaos, frenziedly rushing toward the remaining treasures.

"Act now!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a low shout suddenly rang out from the crowd.

The Lords and Species in motion felt a wave of intense pain coursing through their bodies, rapidly growing clusters of blood-colored dandelions.

"What’s going on!? What is this ghastly thing?"

"Careful! It’s Plant-type Bloodsucker Dandelions!"

"Quick! Dispelling healing!"

The Lords gasped in shock, their faces changing dramatically.

Before they could react, part of the Lords’ bodies spasmed, a great mass of dandelions exploding in their abdomens, gravely wounded on the ground.

Others were dragged by the dandelions growing externally, desperately removing them while moving towards the treasures.

Unexpectedly.

The mushrooms scattered on the ground suddenly blew up.

"Boom boom boom—"

A series of violent explosions shook the entire scene fiercely.

[Killed Alternate Plane Tier Seven Lord, gained 200,000 Magic Energy, Tier Seven Territory Essence x1]

[Killed Alternate Plane Tier Seven Lord, gained 340,000 Magic Energy, Tier Seven Territory Essence x1]

...

Listening to the continuous notifications in his mind, Lin You paid them no attention.

Amidst the chaos, he had already reached the center, snatching a treasure and three Tier Seven Territory Essences without even looking, then recalled the land species to his territory, mounted the Demon King Dragon, and fled.

"Not good! He stole the items, quickly chase!"

"Flying Species, quickly block him!"

The Lords realized and roared as they chased after Lin You.

In just a blink, Lin You found himself blocked by a group of Flying Species outside the encirclement, surrounding him from all directions.

"Break through them!"

Lin You’s face hardened, directly ordering the Demon King Dragon.

The Demon King Dragon let out a high-pitched dragon roar, alongside other Plant Dragons, activating the Shadow Skill, and charged outside.

Lingxi, meanwhile, was leading the Fairy Legion, continuously waving the Magic Staff, dealing with the advancing species.

"Roar!!"

Seeing more and more species blocking the way, the Demon King Dragon beneath Lin You erupted with Dragon Mighty, fiercely brave.

In its furious roar, it directly smashed forward a swarm of species into meat paste, breaking through the encirclement, retreating swiftly.

Those species in chaos attempted to chase, but Lingxi took charge of the rear, raising the Magic Staff high, and the Power of Nature surged wildly.

Swish!

Countless leaves suddenly gathered, weaving into a massive green net in the air, shooting toward those species quickly.

In an instant, the bodies of the species fell like rain, constantly dropping.

Even the Eight-tier Species couldn’t withstand the might of Lingxi’s strike!

"Let’s go!"

Lin You decisively accelerated, swiftly escaping into the depths of the Thousand Stone Forest.

Over ten minutes passed before he finally shook off the last batch of pursuers, descending into a dense forest below to hide.

"Whew—"

"Finally made it out."

Lin You let out a long breath, an uncontrollable joy on his face mixed with lingering fear.

The Tier Seven Lords of these realms are indeed extraordinary.

If he hadn’t been prepared, using the Blood Gu Dandelion and Mushroom Demon King to set things up in advance by spreading the dandelions and Explosive Mushrooms, it would have been hard to create chaos, let alone snatch the treasures and escape.

Moreover, he was surprised.

After the Tier Eight Lord Demon was killed, it dropped so many treasures and Territory Essences, including a Tier Eight Essence.

No wonder even Tier Eight Lords were attracted here.

There might even be Tier Nine Lord Demons in the deeper areas.

If that’s true, wouldn’t a pile of Tier Eight and Nine Territory Essences be dropped?

Thinking of this, Lin You seemed to understand why high-tier Lords are rarely seen in the outer regions.

Probably, they’ve gone deeper to compete for the Tier Eight and above Territory Essences.

After taking a deep breath, he began to assess his recent spoils.

Three Tier Seven Territory Essences from the Lord Demons, combined with those obtained during the chaos, totaling 15.

Including the 5 left from before, it’s just enough to upgrade two species to Tier Eight, exceeding his expectations.

With this, not only have the materials for upgrading the Big Cannon to Tier Eight been gathered, but also one extra Tier Eight upgrade.

Had he known, he would have left all the demon kills to the Big Cannon during previous Secret Realm runs.

Lin You helplessly opened the attribute interface of the Big Cannon: experience 980/2500, not even halfway there.

of those experience points came from the Experience Treasure Pearl.

Even relying on the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, it would take a long time to fully accumulate.

Looks like he’ll have to find time to run more Secret Realms, using the experience bonus of the Forest Sage to boost its experience.

The Tier Seven Demons in the Secret Realm are plentiful enough; a couple of runs should fill it up.

If he’s lucky enough to drop a Secret Treasure or Species Token, that would be even better.

Thinking of this, Lin You lowered his head and looked at another item in his hand.

A cross resembling the Angel-type Sacred Artifact he sold earlier.

Except that its color is somewhat dark golden.

[Artifact Name: Resurrection Cross]

[Artifact Effect: Use at the Territory Core to directly resurrect a designated species, consuming a large amount of Magic Energy, one-time-use artifact.]

This is...

A species resurrection artifact?

Lin You’s face lit up with joy, among the drops from the Lord Demon, such a rare artifact was included.

It can directly resurrect a dead species.

In other words, he no longer has to worry about his Royal Species dying unexpectedly.

Though it consumes a lot of Magic Energy, considering the preciousness of a Royal Species, it’s definitely worth it!

This journey to the Demon Plane truly resulted in huge gains.

He even feels like staying here indefinitely.

Moreover, due to the many Lords he recently killed, his Magic Energy has surged to over four million, more than from running Secret Realms, and faster.

Though those easily defeated were weaker Lords with less Magic Energy.

But the sheer quantity makes up for this.

Just tens of thousands each; after several kills, it reached over a million, with Territory Essences, prosperity is imminent.

Of course.

This requires similar large battles every day.

"Forget it, let’s head back to recuperate for now."

Lin You shook his head helplessly.

With nightfall approaching, he no longer lingered in the forest.

Mounted on the Demon King Dragon, he flew high into the sky.

From a distance, he could already see the towering Ancient Tree marking the entrance to the plane, ensuring he wouldn’t get lost.

Quickly.

He returned to the area covered by the light curtain, and went through it.

Soon after, other Lords who participated in the Lord Demon assault began to arrive back from outside.

Upon closer inspection, each appeared extremely disheveled.

Some were even charred, with half their hair burned off.

During the chaos, Lin You had intentionally reduced the number of dandelions and mushrooms from the Primordial Realm side, only causing a minor disturbance.

Yet even so, numerous Lords still fell victim, left in dishevelled states, visibly irritated.

"Damn! If I find out who threw the bomb, I’ll beat him up!"

"You’re lucky, just got a burnt scalp, I got blasted into the dirt, nearly trampled to death."

"Whichever sly fellow buried mines in advance, they’re damn hateful!"

"Those dandelions too, spent ages removing them, and realized the treasures were snatched away, lost many species too, such a loss."

"Didn’t you get a consolation prize of 100k Magic Energy? Enough to summon new species..."

As the returning Lords cursed, they quickly entered the space portal, disappearing from the Demon Plane.

Overall.

Due to the Celestial Demon Projection being nearer here, the losses for the Primordial Realm Lords were relatively smaller, without significant casualties.

And as the Lords continually returned, the outside gradually darkened.

As the light of the blood moon overshadowed the sun, nightfall completely enveloped the plane.

Faintly.

The sun and moon in the clouds seemed to transform into a pair of eyes, quietly watching the vast land below.
