I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1092 - 574: Using Heart Demon Dao Soldiers as Bait to Fish for Ghost Hunters

"As expected, I had a hunch before that the device in the world coordinate rift zone wouldn't be able to teleport me. I have to give myself a push."

In the icy snow, Gu Shanhai couldn't help but quip.

The space technology of the Elf Clan is quite advanced; even within their own technology, it ranks first. After all, to traverse worlds and collect materials, besides their own world-traversing ability, they must rely on technology and magic for assistance.

If Gu Shanhai hadn't reacted swiftly back then, the entire world coordinate rift zone would have reported an error.

The commotion would definitely not be small, and all elves would rush over to investigate immediately.

The entire world coordinate rift zone is the lifeline of the Elf Clan; any error is not a minor issue.

"Next, I'll collect some materials to report back."

The Elf Clan doesn't have too many requirements on the types and quantities of materials, mostly focusing on knowledge, food, and medicine. If none can be found, equipment and steel are also acceptable, or even returning with nothing at all.

This world-traversing is inherently random, so the Elf Clan cannot set restrictions.

"The world is small, civilization extinct, life nonexistent, and soon the world will perish."

"It's unlikely to endure the freezing of Destructive Frost."

Gu Shanhai can immediately tell the situation of this world; this is the fate of most small worlds encountering Destructive Frost. The possibility of survival cannot be said to be nonexistent, but it's so negligible it's almost dismissed.

If the Wizard World hadn't overlapped with the leaves of the World Tree, it would face the same fate, since the Wizard World is even smaller and weaker than this world.

"This time, I should be able to muddle through."

Honestly, if Gu Shanhai hadn't yet absorbed twelve worlds, he would consider slowly consuming this world completely before returning.

"However, I still need to find something to report back with, otherwise returning empty-handed would be too inappropriate."

Generally, elves who return empty-handed do so mostly because they've encountered danger and must retreat; otherwise, they would return with some materials.

"What a pity, couldn't encounter a Ghost Hunter. Otherwise, I'd truly want to catch one and see what it looks like." Gu Shanhai was somewhat curious.

Gu Shanhai has seen a lot of research on Ghost Hunters in the Elf Clan's knowledge archive. After departing from the ship far from home, the Elf Clan's few combat losses comprise ninety percent due to Ghost Hunters.

Later, with advanced technology, they could match Ghost Hunters somewhat evenly, but the elves generally avoid engaging with them unless necessary. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Thankfully, Ghost Hunters also don't attack elves. They determine strength not by overall power but by individual prowess.

So even if elves wear armor to become very strong, in the eyes of Ghost Hunters, they're just little sprouts wrapped in iron armor. The strength lies in the elves' equipment, not the elves themselves. If the equipment had souls, they would not hesitate to act, but since the equipment lacks souls, they aren't interested in the elves.

Unless it's the strongest of the Elf Clan, they won't trigger a Ghost Hunter's pursuit.

Initially, Ghost Hunters targeted elves naturally due to the Elf Clan's strong members, and after hunting them, Ghost Hunters ignore the Elf Clan.

When elves encounter Ghost Hunters, they seldom engage and only retreat immediately.

The presence of Ghost Hunters in a world indicates there are legendary strong entities within that world. If a fight breaks out, the commotion would be enormous, and what if they are unlucky and get caught in it?

Both sides fight with all their might; the Elf Clan has no business meddling.

As for the fact that Ghost Hunters once hunted their strong members, so there's enmity?

Indeed, there's enmity, but sacrificing their people for such a futile hatred would be detrimental to the Elf Clan's development. If the Elf Clan had ten million people, they'd help the natives fight the Ghost Hunters without hesitation, but there are only a thousand or so, losing even one reduces their potential production value significantly.

Over years of wandering and struggling, they've formed very flexible ideologies; those who aren't flexible have mostly perished.

"To slack off, I need to find a suitable place to settle temporarily and only return after a month."

A month's time isn't long, otherwise returning in merely one or two days would result in little material collection.

As for materials, just let the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers handle it; their work efficiency is exceptionally high anyway.

"Heart Demon Dao Soldiers should count as legendary strong beings, right?"

Gu Shanhai's mind wandered, and he suddenly thought of it.

"Actually, they do."

The Heart Demon Dao Soldiers indeed act as odd-job workers for Gu Shanhai, but in essence, they're slaughter weapons and soldiers, even having formed a civilization, albeit a combat civilization, all concealed by Gu Shanhai, their leader. Gu Shanhai is even stronger than them, capable of reducing all Heart Demon Dao Soldiers to cry in agony with just one slap.

With a significantly reduced value, they can only serve as odd-job workers for Gu Shanhai and form part of the civilization system.

"If I release a Heart Demon Dao Soldier, could it entice the Ghost Hunter?"

"Wait, do Heart Demon Dao Soldiers have souls?"
