Chapter 115: Conditions to Get Territory Token

Coming back to the present, Yang Wei stood frozen, staring at the pile of Blast Mushrooms stacked neatly into a small mountain on the stone bench.

Sweat dripped down his forehead as he muttered under his breath, "I don't know what this freak is going to do with all these Blast Mushrooms."

His eyes darted nervously between the explosive mushrooms, knowing all too well the consequences if even one of them went off.

Each one of those Tier 3 mushrooms was the equivalent of twenty to thirty kilograms of C4. If they all detonated at once... Yang Wei shuddered at the thought.

Meanwhile, Ram was oblivious to Yang Wei's panic, or rather, he didn't care.

He had an evil smile stretching across his face as he glanced at the experience bar on his attribute panel.

Each Blast Mushroom had given him a solid chunk of experience—about 0.7 to 0.9 percent each.

In total, he had gained 83 percent of experience just from all the spores that Yang Wei had begrudgingly handed over.

Combined with the previous experience he got when he was in Wood Spirit Realm, Ram's experience bar was already at a tantalizing 90 percent.

Just a little more, and he would reach Tier 3. Reaching Tier 3 would significantly enhance his control and purity of his Life energy and Spiritual Power.

So that he can do other things than what he is currently unable to do.

"Evolving those cavemen didn't give me any experience, but these mushrooms..." Ram thought, his grin widening.

They hadn't even drained that much of his Life Energy, costing only around 150 points per mushroom, and yet they provided more experience than expected.

He also speculated that the mushrooms' absorption of fire attribute energy from their surroundings could be the reason for their growth, making them less dependent on life energy.

"At this rate, I'll be able to upgrade to Tier 3 before any of those Half-Drow or Bio-Mechanical soldiers start fighting—or worse, attack the cavemen tribe we are at right now." As Ram pondered his next move.

Yang Wei's voice shook him from his thoughts. "H-Hey, are you really planning on using all of these? This... this is insane!" Yang Wei stammered, still drenched in nervous sweat.

Ram turned to him, that eerie smile still on his face. "Why not?" he asked, voice calm but with a mischievous edge. "You're the one who handed them over so willingly. You said you wanted to see what I can do, right?"

Yang Wei swallowed hard, feeling a strange mix of regret and curiosity. "I... I didn't think you'd actually pull it off! And this many? What do you plan on doing?"

Ram chuckled, the sound low and almost predatory. "Relax, I have bigger plans for these..."

Listening to her Ram's thoughts had flickered to Korrin instantly, remembering he was a Leader-type Fire Mage.

Even after evolving into a Half-Drow caveman, he still possessed the Leader attribute he inherited as a caveman leader.

"There are three conditions," she had continued. "First, the Leader-type monster needs to have a large territory under its control."

"The second condition is that the creature must be of General quality or higher."

"And finally..." She paused, her voice dropping, "The creature must undergo a blood ritual, passing the Divine Spirit Tree's trial."

"Only by surviving this trial can the creature obtain the Territory Token."

"Absorbing it could also trigger another evolution, potentially advancing them from General to Lord quality—or even beyond, if they're already a Lord."

That last part had made Ram's pulse quicken. Korrin was still only a Rare-quality creature, but with the amount of spiritual power, Ram had accumulated over the past few days, pushing Korrin to General quality was entirely within reach.

"And all I need to do is to satisfy the other two conditions, it's risky... but if I succeed," Ram thought as he looked at the sprawling cavemen tribe in the distance.

So far Korrin had gathered more than seven large tribes similar to his own and many other shattered cavemen into one large tribe.

Along with that he also gathered all the Source crystals that are buried under various cavemen tribes and summoned thirty more Elite Tier 3 Fire Mages of the same race Half Drow cavemen.

But, it was thanks to the sudden appearance of a large number of Bio-Mechanical soldiers that the Half-Drows, who had been ready to march towards the second floor of the void space, halted their advance.

Both sides had become unwilling to lose their current advantage in an all-out battle, fearing they would expose themselves to greater dangers or give their enemies an edge.

The uneasy stalemate left the helpless cavemen tribe caught in the crossfire.

The Half-Drows had turned their focus toward the cavemen, seeking to sacrifice more of them in order to summon even greater numbers of their kind.

Meanwhile, the Bio-Mechanical soldiers started killing those cavemen for wanting to stop the Half-Drows from summoning more of their kind.

Because with each new summoning, the fire mages grew stronger, tipping the scale of the battlefield.
