I Live on the Land in Global Games-Chapter 76 - 75 Qingshan Alliance

Meeting Mu Ying’s gaze, everyone nodded involuntarily, of course, they did!

“I’ve filled up my Slaughter Experience, I’ll leave the final strikes to you all, and the loot drop will still be 20% for each ghoul, but I might ask you to station someone to watch the Replica gate.

If a ghoul appears, notify me, and I’ll have the sparrows help send the message.”

Mu Ying laid out her thoughts, not wanting to spend a lot of time as she did today waiting for ghouls.

“Of course, no problem!” Nie Ying said without hesitation.

“We have no objections either, we are taking advantage.”

“Agreed.”

The mountain climbing club and Huo Shaobai’s group also nodded in agreement.

The other smaller teams and stragglers naturally had no objections either, as they all depended on each other’s cooperation to barely handle the ghouls and needed Mu Ying’s assistance even more.

“With so many of us here, accounting for the majority of the combat force in the territory, why don’t we form an alliance?

We operate independently on a daily basis, but unite against larger threats or for significant matters concerning the entire territory,” Huo Shaobai seized the opportunity to suggest.

He always wanted to unite all the vital forces within the territory to present a united front.

Mu Ying looked at him surprisingly, a real talent indeed; official folks sure were different.

She didn’t really mind.

If it came to forming teams and building her own power, Mu Ying had considered it, but with her personality, she preferred to focus single-mindedly on cultivation and improving herself rather than dealing with the complexities of interpersonal relationships.

After all, with the backing of her own territory, the benefits of forming a power were limited and would take up her cultivation time, making it even less conducive to keeping her certain secrets.

Her identity as a Lord couldn’t be hidden forever; the forums were already filled with posts analyzing the territories, and not long ago, someone claimed to be a Lord, calling for people to join them.

It wouldn’t be long before people noticed the difference between territories with and without lords, and the anomalies of Qingshan Village couldn’t be concealed much longer.

The human heart is unpredictable, and relying on the protection of a power is not secure; only one’s own strength can be relied upon.

However, she wouldn’t allow a single power to dominate in her territory, as that could pose a threat to her.

But the loose alliance that Huo Shaobai mentioned was not bad; it had some cohesion but not too much power, minimal restrictions, and she could involve herself in it.

After some thought, she nodded, realizing that the Ghoul Replica wasn’t an isolated case, and there would definitely be other times when unity was necessary.

Having an organization was certainly better than everyone fending for themselves.

After some consideration, the other teams also nodded in agreement.

After all, what Huo Shaobai had proposed for the alliance wasn’t much different from their current model of cooperative monster hunting.

It didn’t even require a designated manager for the alliance.

It simply meant that when teamwork was needed, they could communicate battle plans through the alliance, and supervise each other to protect their respective interests in group activities.

Every team and individual was both a manager and a participant of the alliance.

No matter one’s strength, the amount of say they had, whether they were part of a team or a lone wolf, everyone had the right to refuse the orders of the alliance.

The Qingshan Alliance was thus born.

But aside from this name, there weren’t any significant changes.

The creation of the alliance had just made everyone feel slightly more secure about the distribution of benefits after battle, without having to worry about being backstabbed.

Mu Ying’s life became even more relaxed.

When there were monsters that teams couldn’t handle, they would seek her help, providing her with opportunities to practice without needing to scout for monsters as she had before.

She resumed her routine life of planting trees and farming.

Each day, she would collect tree saplings in the forest, take them back to her Plantation to nurture, and then transplant them all to the edge of the forest.

Occasionally, when ghouls emerged, she would rush over, following the sparrows that came to alert her.

With Divine Movement Technique, Forest Traversing, and Enhanced Attributes, her speed in the forest was extremely fast.

The few individuals who initially sought to take advantage by entering the replica had not reappeared, and it could almost be certain they were dead.

After that, no one harbored any luck about entering the replica for easy benefits.

Scouts from various teams kept an eye on the replica.

As soon as something arose, they would notify the entire alliance, and then everyone would gather to encircle and eliminate the ghouls.

For the first four days, several ghouls emerged each day, the numbers varying, typically appearing from evening until early morning.

All these ghouls were left outside.

After cutting off their tongues and fingernails, the remaining bodies were also burned, to avoid being dragged back and consumed by ghouls in their absence.

The day before last, no ghouls appeared.

They waited another two days, and still, no ghouls emerged, causing many people to grow restless and wanting to go inside to check things out.

Mu Ying insisted on waiting another day before deciding to join everyone in entering the Ghoul Replica.

This was because the replica allowed easy entry and exit, with so many people together, in case of danger, it wouldn’t result in an immediate wipeout of the entire group.

She wanted to see what the situation inside was like—if it was manageable, they would fight; if not, they could always return later.

It was important to have a clear understanding.

Considering the ghouls’ preference for nocturnal activity, Mu Ying and her group chose the peak of the midday sun to probe the replica.

But as soon as they stepped through the Replica gate, Mu Ying knew their plan was futile.

The replica was pitch-black, devoid of even a speck of light.

The others hadn’t even lit their torches or cast the Light Brightness Skill before the sporadic roars and footsteps frightened them, prompting them to quickly run back toward the Replica gate.

The number of ghouls far exceeded their expectations.

Mu Ying saw clearly that there were about twenty ghouls sniffing around in the darkness below, a greater number than those that had emerged from the replica previously.

Moreover, their bodies were generally much more robust than those that had ventured out, indicating a likely higher level.

This was a tomb chamber of considerable size, with the Replica gate located on a set of steps on one side of the chamber’s main hall.

In the center of the hall, on top of an opened bronze coffin, sat a creature larger than the other ghouls.

Mu Ying took one last look at them, and before they could approach any closer, she stepped out of the Replica gate.
