Chapter 93: Chapter 92 Briefly reaching the peak_l

A stunning pillar of thunderbolt light shot up towards the sky, scattering the dense dark clouds hanging over the territory.

A second or two later, the boundless lightning began to shrink, turning into a thinning beam of light which slowly dissipated from top to bottom. All that remained was a charred figure shrunk within the scorched pit, still entwined with the remnants of the lightning arc.

influenced by the firm principles of Emperor Dead Bone, Duo Lai, wielding his massive hand, pummeled the deceased corpse incessantly, only stopping when he confirmed it was thoroughly dead. Seeing a crowd of monsters surrounding him, Duo Lai activated his Leap skill and disappeared into the waves of monsters.

In mid-air, he transformed into a pigeon and fluttered back to his territory, then resumed his human form, his hands on his hips, bursting into laughter.

Him, General Duo Lai, killed the enemy in one blow!

“Thwack-!”

Mu Yuan tapped Duo Lai’s forehead, “You made a lot of mistakes in this battle.” Even now, in human form, Duo Lai’s arm was still charred. He couldn’t control the wild power of the thunderbolt, and he had been seriously hurt.

This was the price of overreaching.

With Duo Lai’s attack power, it was indeed difficult to kill an ogre, a rare-rank, professional-level monster of thick skin and flesh, in one blow, but he had many ways to defeat this ogre without damage, and it wouldn’t take long.

“Ehehe-”

Duo Lai held his head attempting to pass the blame with his cuteness.

After the city defense battle, the skeleton warriors quickly emerged from the ■city’, retrieved the Soul Sand and Remnant Souls left behind by the monsters, and dragged these red-eyed monsters into the pits dug earlier for purification by incineration.

Duo Lai looked and felt a bit regretful.

But he couldn’t eat them. The Great Lord wouldn’t allow it.

Even if they were non-human monsters.

After all, these monsters were filthy. Mu Yuan was afraid that if Duo Lai devoured them, he would become dirty.

“Ding!”

“Prompt: Your territory ‘Tianyuan Territory’ is ranked first.”

On the Trial Golden List, the names of the territories at the bottom are tiny and inconspicuous. But the names of the territories at the top shine brightly, exuding an extraordinary presence.

At this moment, the name “Tianyuan Territory” had surpassed the previously ranked “Da Ri Territory,” ascending to the top and overlooking the world.

It appeared in the eyes of countless new lords and spectators!

“Tianyuan Territory, whose territory is this?

“I don’t know!”

-Even if it’s just the first day of the trial, even if he can only stay at the top for a short while, the Tianyuan Territory definitely has the ability to compete for the top twenty.”

“But boss, Tianyuan Territory…I’ve never heard of it.”

“Look it up!”

At this moment, the territories ranked in the top twenty or ten on the Trial Golden List all have some degree of fame.

Either they are live broadcasting themselves, or they are the well-known Second Generation Lords or corporate trademarks.

What about Tianyuan Territory? It’s neither.

It’s like it popped out of a crack in a rock.

Oh, it was previously ranked thirty-something. What other information is there?

“This might be a dark horse.”

Someone mused.

Second Generation Lord Jiang Luoxing, looking at the Tianyuan Territory at the top of the list, couldn’t help but wonder, “Could it be that mysterious big shot? It’s only the beginning phase, so it’s still unclear. Let’s wait and see.”

The first night passed quickly, and the real world welcomed the daylight. But the sky in the Eternal World was still dark, without a trace of daylight.

The red mist was also wafting around like an invisible monster lurking outside the territory; it didn’t seem to be thinning, but appeared to get denser.

Making use of the monster’s brief lapse in aggression, Mu Yuan began to arrange for his defensive soldiers to take turns to rest.

Organizing the rotation and maintaining the status of his own soldiers was key to surviving the Trial. His main force, the Skeleton Warriors, had a varying state of strength. After a long period of intense fighting, they would become worn out, their Soul Flames dimmed. However, their recovery was easier compared to other troops, it was suffice to absorb some versatile Soul Sand.

War, it’s all about Soul Sand reserves.

Before the war, Mu Yuan had saved more than ten Soul Crystal Coins. After each city defense battle, the amount of Soul Sand hasn’t decreased but instead has increased.

Now, the consumption is only on troop recovery and repairing worn-out equipment.

The real heavy consumers of Soul Sand, the defensive structures and the Dead Bone’s strategic skills, don’t need to be used at all.

The trial process is too smooth, even the simple earthen wall, till now, doesn’t have much damage.

It’s so peaceful that…

Lord Shepherd feels like such a poorguy.

-Aren’t these monsters too unenthusiastic? Isn’t it said that the Lord’s Trial is very intense and even the top rookies unavoidably suffer losses even if they pass smoothly?”

Yet, at his place, there are only a few dozen or a few hundred monsters rushing over after a while, the number is disappointing.

The evening glow drapes the land in a veil.

The dawn light again dispels the night.

In the real world, day and night alternate unceasingly.

Time quickly arrives at the third day of the trial, the Lord’s Trial on the Eternal Continent has become extremely intense, and has already entered a white-hot state.

in some rookie territories, the troops are already exhausted, armors are worn out, even the arrow towers have marks of monster attacks.

Some rookie Lords are roaring, their nerves stretched tight, constantly wiping out the incoming monster tides, making their rank on the Hanging Sky Golden List advance a little further.

Everyone is giving their all.

Mr. Mu wants to give his all but doesn’t have a chance. The ranking of the Tianyuan Territory on the Trial Golden List keeps falling, it has already fallen from being once the top to current 19th place.

He doesn’t doubt that if the pace continues like this, falling out of the top 20 is just a matter of time.

-Even though my own territory is as solid as a rock under the attack of the monster tide.”

-Even though the power of characters like General Dead Bone is strong, but …”

But why there isn’t a large monster tide attacking?

Mu Yuan has already guessed the reason, he feels somewhat toothache. -It’s probably because, due to my territory’s strong power, I thoroughly exterminated the surrounding monsters before, so much so that the monster density within ten kilometers, twenty kilometers of the territory has greatly decreased, they couldn’t even summon enough siege monsters during the trial period.”

Actually, the top second generation Lords would only target troublesome enemies when they clear the surrounding regions, they don’t want and don’t have too much spare energy to go around and systematically notice and wipe out every inch.

Except in Tianyuan Territory.

They have the Battle Falcon to scout in all directions, and lock onto each monster group;

They also have the Skeleton Corps to bulldoze everything, even if some soldiers die in battle, they can be resurrected under Dead Bone’s black smoke.

In any case,

It’s all his fault for being too strong and trying too hard!

But understandably, he has a wide exploration range and should also attract the attention of some powerful monster powers, right?

Mu Yuan sends the Hurricane War Hawk, into the red fog to seek monster traces, wanting to see if he can attract some over, but soon returns with nothing gained.

-The visibility in the red fog is limited, and the troops venturing out unknowingly would be eroded by it.

Even the Hurricane War Hawk that flew out for just a dozen minutes, when it returned, the eyes were already a bit bloodshot and needed to rest for half a day to barely recover.

There’s great horror in the red fog!

Even so, Mu Yuan keeps sending the Hurricane War Hawk out in turns to check the situation.

On the third day of the trial, around seven or eight in the evening, there are countless figures appearing in the red fog at the edge of his sight.

Rushing towards him.

Lord Shepherd sheds tears of joy..
