Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Hidden Upgrade Requirements!
Translator: Zayn_
Looking at its huge body and the pressure that could be felt even from this distance, a trace of shock flashed across Ren Qi’s eyes.
This was a Tier 8 black dragon!
Moreover, it was an adult Level 100 dragon!
It suddenly flapped its huge wings, and its huge body streaked across the sky above the black forest, leaving behind a bright flame that burned the forest below.
Soon after, Ren Qi saw the black dragon follow the black mist to the sky above his territory.
Ren Qi could even clearly see the black dragon’s eyes turning downwards for a moment.
Looking at the territory below and the succubus legion, the black dragon did not stop at all. As if it were looking at an ant, it lightly flicked its wings as it continued to fly to the mountain behind and quickly disappeared.
Only then did Ren Qi let out a sigh of relief. He stretched his somewhat stiff body.
This was an adult Tier 8 giant dragon!
With just a single dragon breath, his territory would probably be turned into ashes.
Fortunately, he was inconspicuous in the other party’s eyes, so he did not provoke the other party’s attack.
Ren Qi’s gaze landed on the mountain behind him.
The black mist lingered around the mountain, making it seem very mysterious.
Ren Qi did not know what was inside the mountain, but he hoped that the black dragon could stay far away.
Three days later, when the demon wave arrived, the surrounding monsters would all riot and launch an attack on his territory.
If the black dragon was around, it was very likely that it would launch a dragon breath on his territory in a frenzy, and that would be a disaster.
Elise came to Ren Qi’s side. She looked at Ren Qi and said firmly, “Master, you don’t have to worry. It’s only a Tier 8 dragon. When I advance to Tier 8, I’ll be able to fight it. If I advance to Tier 9, even killing it will be easy.”
Hearing Elise’s words, Ren Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “From what you said, it seems like you can advance steadily?”
Although the mutated succubus had a certain probability to advance its tier every ten levels, the probability was not very high.
However, Elise spoke as if she could steadily advance through the tiers.
Elise shook her head and said, “I can’t steadily advance, but as long as I have ten magic crystals, I can advance to Tier 7 without needing to improve my level.”
Ren Qi was stunned. He did not expect that his unique mutated succubus actually had such a hidden requirement to level up!
Using magic crystals to level up!
Magic crystals were naturally very precious!
Ten magic crystals in exchange for a single tier upgrade was actually quite a loss. The price-to-performance ratio could be said to be extremely low.
However, Ren Qi was stilll very tempted when he thought that his mutated succubus had a chance to advance to Tier 9 and become a fallen angel.
After all, even the weakest fallen angel was a demigod-level existence!
It didn’t seem like it would be such a loss to use magic crystals to level up now. It could be considered a long-term investment.
However, Ren Qi didn’t have that many magic crystals at the moment.
Moreover, if he had enough magic crystals, Ren Qi would still choose to level up the recruitment pool first.
After all, the higher the level of the recruitment pool, the higher the probability of summoning a high-tier mutated succubus.
However, it was good to know this news. In the future, if he had enough magic crystals, he could spend some to help a high-tier succubus raise its rank.
Elise’s words made the fear in Ren Qi’s heart disappear slightly.
Although his current strength was not enough to face a Tier 8 adult dragon head-on, he was still considered one of the strongest among all the new lords.
Of course, this was in addition to the overall defense of the territory.
The succubi in the surroundings began to clean up the battlefield, harvesting quite a bit of demonic meat and fur.
Order quickly returned to the territory, and some succubi continued to patrol the surroundings.
Ren Qi looked at the messages in the chat group for a while and found that the other new lords hadn’t encountered anything similar.
It seemed that the monster attack this time was aimed at him alone.
The state of the monsters just now was clearly not right. Even though they knew that the could not break through his territory, they still attacked without any fear of death.
It was as if someone was controlling them.
Ren Qi thought for a long time, but he could not find any clues. So he decided to take a rest.
Now that the first wave of the demon wave was approaching, he needed to maintain his mental state.
However, tonight’s monster attack also gave Ren Qi a sense of crisis.
Previously, Ren Qi had already exterminated most of the monsters in the forest. Although it was only a part of it, it still made Ren Qi somewhat relaxed.
Tonight’s monster attack told Ren Qi that this place was still a wilderness surrounded by monsters.
Moreover, the surrounding environment was very strange. He needed to be extra careful. The process of improving the strength of the territory could not be neglected.
After a night, Ren Qi woke up and opened the chat group. He roughly browsed through the previous messages.
Now, there were more and more trade messages in the chat group. After all, the demon wave was about to arrive, so everyone began to prepare.
Ren Qi once again put up 30 sets of black armor in exchange for high-level demonic meat. These black armors were quickly sold out.
Ren Qi left the bedroom and went to his territory. He first went to the warehouse and counted the resources.
Ren Qi now had about 50,000 kilograms of wood, 100,000 kilograms of stone, and more than 2000 kilograms of refined iron.
With these basic resources, he could expand his territory.
The newly formed territory was the size of a castle. As more and more succubi were recruited, it also needed to be expanded.
Moreover, after the expansion, the succubi would be able to better deploy their combat strength and strengthen the territory’s defenses.
Following that, Ren Qi came to the courtyard. Elise and the other Tier 6 succubi were waiting for Ren Qi to deploy them.
Ren Qi’s gaze landed on Risa, who was at the side. He suddenly realized that Risa had already advanced to Tier 4.
Risa had been recruited together with Elise. However, Elise had advanced to Tier 6 while Risa was still at Tier 3.
However, her level was the highest among all the succubi.
“Risa, when did you advance?”
Risa replied respectfully, “Reporting to master, I advanced to Tier 4 yesterday at Level 40. It’s all thanks to Master’s favor.”
Ren Qi nodded slightly. He had a guess about Risa’s advancement.
Perhaps the increase in combat experience could also effectively help the troops advance in level.
Of course, this was just Ren Qi’s guess.
Coming to the recruitment pool, Ren Qi began to prepare for a new day of recruitment.
The 18-winged fallen angel statue was still standing in front of the recruitment pool. Black fog lingered around its body, giving off a mysterious and imposing aura.
Ren Qi’s gaze was somewhat expectant. He didn’t know how lucky he was today, but he hoped that he could recruit high-tier mutated succubi.
After scattering enough energy crystals, two mutated succubi slowly walked out of the recruitment pool in front of him.
