[Your subject Wu Tu’s loyalty has increased to 87!]

Zhou Zhou, who was walking on the road, suddenly saw this notification. He winced then smiled.

…

Half an hour later, the soldiers were done resting.

Zhou Zhou gathered everyone together and called for Nezario. Then, they headed to the Monster Ranch together.

“Unbelievable! Is this still the same monster ranch I saw yesterday? I see Elite Desert Fog Lizards, so many of them!”

…

The soldiers looked at the monster ranch in front of them in shock.

In just one night, the monster ranch had undergone a complete facelift. At this moment, the monster ranch in front of them was already crawling with Desert Fog Lizards of all sizes. There were even some at Elite-Tier!

What surprised everyone the most was that they were no longer as fierce as before.

These Desert Fog Lizards were either crawling slowly or lazing around like domesticated livestock.

“Big Brother Mu is really amazing. I can’t believe he made them so docile.” Bai Yi said in surprise.

Zhou Zhou shared her surprise but he was already mentally prepared, so his expression did not change.

“My Lord.” Mu Gu walked out of the ranch and said respectfully.

“How was the result from last night?” Zhou Zhou asked.

“It’s been a normal night. There are a total of 500 Desert Fog Lizards.”

“Among them are 256 Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizards, 220 Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Desert Fog Lizards, and 24 Elite Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Desert Fog Lizards!”

“It’s a pity that the monster ranch hasn’t reached the Green Bronze-Tier yet. Otherwise, I can create a Leader-tier or even Lord-tier Desert Fog Lizard!” Mu Gu said.

Zhou Zhou’s eyes flashed with excitement.

This was not just 500 Desert Fog Lizards. In his eyes, these were clearly 520 Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificates and 244 Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Books!

Zhou Zhou did not care about what Mu Gu said after that.

The ranch would level up sooner or later.

“Mu Gu, release them in batches.”

“Bai Yi, get the soldiers to kill them one by one!” Zhou Zhou said.

“Yes!” Mu Gu and Bai Yi said in unison.

“My Lord, this is the official opening of the Monster Ranch. It means a lot! Please have the honor of choosing the first batch of Desert Fog Lizards to meet their death.” Mu Gu asked.

“Sure.” Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and nodded.

He walked to the ranch fence and looked at the 500 Desert Fog Lizards. After looking at them for a while, he chose 10 of them that were lazing around on the ground.

“These 10 Desert Mist Lizards have been lying motionless on the ground for so long.”

“I must have seen too many of the same kind kill each other. I have decided to end their suffering. Just get them out and kill them.” Zhou Zhou said.

Desert Fog Lizards: ??? We’re just f*cking stuffed and don’t want to move!

“My Lord is right.” Mu Gu nodded seriously and walked to the entrance of the monster ranch. He opened the door and used the ability of the monster rancher to call the 10 Desert Fog Lizards out.

Bai Yi looked at the soldiers behind her.

“Who feels like they’re about to break through? Stand up and kill these Desert Fog Lizards yourself! Don’t try to take advantage of the situation. I know where your strengths are.” She glared at everyone.

Whoosh!

More than 50 people stood up. They looked at each other and charged at the 10 Desert Fog Lizards and took care of them in less than 10 seconds.

One of the soldiers looked pleased in no time.

“Officer Bai! I’ve broken through!”

“I’ve broken through to Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Sword Shield Soldier!” The others looked at him enviously.

“Go back to the group.” Bai Yi smiled and nodded. The soldier chuckled foolishly and turned back to the group.

For the next hour, everyone repeated this process in eliminating the Desert Fog Lizards in the monster ranch.

Zhou Zhou was not idle either.

He got someone to move the Desert Fog Lizard’s corpses over while he collected the loot.

More than an hour later, all 500 Desert Fog Lizards were eliminated.

16 people had broken through to the Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade, three had broken through to the Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade, while Zhang Cang and another subject who had followed him the earliest had broken through to the Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade!

Other than that, Zhou Zhou also obtained loots from 500 Desert Fog Lizards.

520 Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificates and 244 Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Books had been obtained!

There were also 1,584 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores!

16,320 units of flesh (Black Iron-Tier Elementary, Intermediate and Advance Grade)!

A total of 1,156kg of water bags!

24 Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Sand Stealth Technique!

Zhou Zhou asked Bai Yi to call all the Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade and Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade soldiers over. Then, he took out 44 Sand Stealth Techniques from his Spatial Ring and distributed one to 44 of them.

It was all accumulated over this period of time. He decided to release them at this point in time.

“This is the Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade, Sand Stealth. Consider it a reward for your advancement. I’ll treat you well when your strength advances to a higher level and you make more contributions. In addition, we will go and suppress the Scarlet Lord faction where the Black-Tailed Fog Scorpion is. You should be able to use this Sand Stealth Technique.” Zhou Zhou said.

“Thank you for the reward, my Lord!” Everyone was extremely excited.

Skill books were very precious treasures to most Professionals since the drop rate of monsters was too low on the High Continent.

Even kingdom-level forces had very strict jurisdiction over skill books.

The adjective ‘a skill worth a thousand gold’ was not wrong at all.

They did not expect their Lord to be so generous as to reward them with the skill book.

At this moment, their loyalty to Zhou Zhou had increased!

Zhou Zhou saw the system notification on that but said nothing about it.

After that, he brought everyone back to Blazing Sun City. Then, he went to the Gate of Summoning and threw in the 244 Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Books he had just obtained.

Sword Shield Soldiers walked out of the Gate of Summoning like a tide.

Under Bai Yi’s guidance, they joined the rest of the soldiers and Zhou Zhou’s troops expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The soldiers who saw this scene sighed with emotion.

“I walked out of the Gate of Summoning this morning. I didn’t expect to see someone else walk out of here today.”

“If it weren’t for the Desert Fog Lizards, would I have met my Lord? We’re so lucky that the Desert Fog Lizards exist.”

“His Lordship’s golden hand is also the key.”

“Now that you mention it, I want to go to the monster ranch later and burn some incense for the Desert Fog Lizards.”

“Let’s go together. Even though the Desert Fog Lizards are our mortal enemy, they also provide us with food and upgrades!”

“Why are there no female soldiers…”

…

A moment later, all 244 Sword Shield Soldiers walked out of the Gate of Summoning.

At this point, the number of soldiers under Zhou Zhou’s command had reached 869!

“Let’s do it again tomorrow! The number of soldiers under my command will officially break through to 1,000!” Zhou Zhou’s heart was burning with ambition.

Following which, Zhou Zhou asked Ashburn for potions before bringing the soldiers, doctor Zhang Qianjing, Nezario, and the mechanostriders convoy to the territory of the Black-tailed Fog Scorpion.
