“Alright, I’ll follow you to Green Lotus City.”
Ultimately, Zhang Xiang nodded in agreement. At this juncture, following Song Yubai’s suggestion and making their way to Green Lotus City seemed to be their only viable option. If there were indeed foreign races within a 100-mile radius, their chances of survival anywhere else would be exceedingly grim.
“Can you tell us more about the Forest race?”
Song Yubai smiled and asked Zhang Xiang.
If they could acquire knowledge about the Forest race, it would undeniably be crucial information for them.
“Unfortunately, we don’t know much.”
Zhang Xiang revealed a helpless expression. Most of them had been thrown into the mine after being captured. They did not know much about the Forest race.
“It’s fine. Just tell me what you know.”
Song Yubai nodded. Then, he turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him, signaling them to take out some food and hand it to the people in front of him.
Other than Zhang Xiang, all of them were so thin that they looked like they could be blown away by a gust of wind. It was obvious that they had not eaten well.
“Thank you!”
“Thank you, General!”
Seeing the food, the people behind Zhang Xiang thanked Song Yubai one after another.
“The Forest race eats humans!”
Zhang Xiang’s words made Song Baiyu’s face turn serious.
“Are you serious?!”
Song Yubai asked with a stern expression. After all, they did not know much about the Forest race.
Even Mei Changge did not know that the Forest race would do such a thing.
“That’s correct. When they captured us earlier, it wasn’t just us in the mine.” Zhang Xiang said in a serious tone.
After he was captured, Zhang Xiang only learned about this situation because he feigned unconsciousness. He could even attest to witnessing a fellow human being being taken away and never returning.
“By the way, what does a stargate mean?”
Zhang Xiang asked Song Yubai with a puzzled expression.
Back then, he had heard about stargates from foreign races, but he did not understand what it meant.
“A stargate is a realm that was once your original homeland, but this is no longer the world you knew.”
Song Yubai explained briefly. He did not expect these people to also come from a stargate.
“Among the foreign races, I’ve also encountered some colossal trees known as Giant War Trees. Moreover, it appears that each foreign race can command these massive trees, much like Treants.”
Zhang Xiang thought for a moment and said to Song Yubai again.
Song Yubai was not surprised that the Forest race could control trees. However, when he heard about the Giant War Trees, his heart skipped a beat.
From the name, it was definitely not a simple tree.
The fact that they employed the term “war” in their name indicated that the Forest race likely possessed concealed strategies and tactics for warfare as well.
“As for the rest, I’m not very clear.”
Upon further contemplation, Zhang Xiang realized that this was the extent of the information he possessed. Nevertheless, Song Yubai found this information to be sufficient.
Just the information about the Giant War Trees made him mentally prepared.
“In that case, follow us to Green Lotus City now.”
Observing that Zhang Xiang had no further information to provide, Song Yubai resolved to expedite their return to Green Lotus City. If the Forest race were to realize that someone had escaped, they would undoubtedly pursue them relentlessly.
“Yes, my lord.”
Zhang Xiang nodded and followed Song Yubai and the soldiers back to Green Lotus City.
In the Desolate Forest, Sen continued to guide a group of Forest race members toward Green Lotus City. The Forest race was currently ahead of Song Yubai and his companions. Judging by their pace, the Forest race would reach Green Lotus City before them.
At that moment, the pits that had been excavated outside Green Lotus City had already been concealed.
Furthermore, many Flame Summits were placed in these pits.
As long as the Flame Summits sensed spiritual energy, they would erupt in flames. It was one of Guo Jia’s methods to deal with the Forest race. As for how to activate it, Guo Jia was also prepared.
He had learned from Xu Chu that most of the Mystic Yang soldiers had entered the Innate realm. Next, he only needed to wait for Song Yubai to return with the news to lure them.
As for Mei Changge, he knew what Guo Jia was thinking and did not interfere.
There was only one person he needed to deal with, and that was the Transcendents of the Forest race. However, the Transcendents would not attack easily.
Just as Mei Changge was gearing up to confront the Forest race, within Xia Wu’s territory, a substantial contingent of soldiers moved through the city, evidently undertaking some kind of preparations.
Xia Wu’s city was named Wu City. Just like Mei Changge’s city, it was built by the Great Xia Academy. However, there were no ordinary citizens in Wu City. They were all soldiers nurtured by Xia Wu.
One of the soldiers exuded a profound and chilling aura. They were all donned in black-scaled armor resembling the scales of snakes.
The eyes of these soldiers were particularly striking as they had vertical pupils akin to those of snakes.
These soldiers were Grade 6 soldiers he had nurtured from the black-winged statue he had exchanged from Mei Changge.
Black-scaled Snake Soldiers!
Not only were these soldiers powerful, but their snake eyes also had special abilities.
“My lord, the Gorilla race has surrounded Wu City.”
“You came just in time. After dealing with the Gorilla race, we can expand into the depths of No Man’s Land.”
Xia Wu’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Even though he was surrounded by the Gorilla race, he was still happy.
At that moment, outside Wu City, a large number of Gorilla race members were holding weapons as if they would attack soon.
These members of the Gorilla race resembled gorillas, each wielding black rods in their hands.
These black rods were crafted from ores extracted from a mine controlled by the Gorilla race. They were entirely black and extremely sturdy.
Xia Wu also took a fancy to the black ores. If he sold weapons made from black ores, he could exchange for a large number of resources.
“I wonder how Green Lotus’ and Liu Yuexi’s territories are faring.”
Xia Wu’s eyes were filled with anticipation. He guessed that the other two had yet to start a decisive battle with the foreign races.
“I hope we can meet again in No Man’s Land.”
Xia Wu smiled. Then, he put on his armor and walked out of Wu City with the Black-scaled Snake Soldiers, planning to start a decisive battle with the Gorilla race.
Mei Changge did not know that Xia Wu had fought the Gorilla race so quickly. At that moment, he was cultivating the Golden Crow Art in the Green Lotus Palace.
He even used the Nine Yang Spirit Fire to constantly temper his body from time to time.
“I’m about to advance!”
Mei Changge’s face was filled with joy. He felt the change in the spiritual energy in his body. Other than the fluctuation of the spiritual energy, the lotus willpower in his mind seemed to be constantly growing.
Furthermore, it was clearly larger than before. As the willpower lotus changed, a large amount of spiritual energy surged into his body.
He entered Transcendent Level 2.
“Finally. ”
Once Mei Changge had stabilized the spiritual energy within his body, he opened his eyes, wearing a joyful expression as he spoke.
Advancing to Transcendent Level 2 could have a significant impact on the potency of one’s divine arts.
Originally, the White Jade Spirit Body’s capabilities could be boosted by 50%. Yet, in his current state, it could attain up to 60%.
With each advancement to a higher Transcendent level, the lesser divine powers would also experience enhancement. Divine arts constituted one of the most formidable offensive capabilities within the Transcendent realm.
Now that his realm had upgraded, he was more confident in dealing with the Transcendents of the Forest race.
After Mei Changge stabilized his realm, his figure flashed into Lotus Flower Blessed Land.
At that moment, in Lotus Flower Blessed Land, the Fragrant Boars and the Gale Wolves had already been raised.
The various items needed to construct the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry were almost ready, and Xu Ding had successfully stepped into the Innate realm the day before yesterday.
This was what Mei Changge had learned from Guo Jia.
Xu Ding cultivated the Brute Rhino Technique. Coupled with Myriad Lotus Coins, his cultivation speed increased greatly. This was also the reason why he quickly entered the Innate realm.
At that moment, Xu Ding buried Flame Summits outside Green Lotus City and was sent into the Blessed Land by Mei Changge.
Moreover, he had personally subdued a Gale Wolf of the same realm as him.
After Mei Changge appeared in the Blessed Land, he contacted Xu Ding and asked him to go to the valley where the soldier pools were.
“It’s time to build the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry soldiers’ pool.’
Mei Changge’s eyes were filled with anticipation. He looked at the other soldier pools around him and chose another location. With a thought, he dug out a pool that was 100 feet wide.
At the same time, a large number of Soldier Stones appeared beside him.
The Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry was a Grade 6 soldier pool. Other than needing Soldier Stones, it also needed a statue containing willpower as the array core.
Mei Changge happened to acquire it through an exchange with Xia Wu.
He waved his hand again, and a wolf-shaped statue sat above the pool.
The wolf-shaped statue was entirely black, resembling obsidian. The wolf was depicted looking skyward.
It looked like it was howling at the moon.
“The Grade 6 soldier pool differs from other soldier pools. Not only do we need to utilize the statue as the core, but we also need to arrange a substantial number of Soldier Stones to create a distinct spiritual formation.”
Mei Changge thought of the structural blueprint of the soldier pool and his consciousness moved.
The Soldier Stones beside him floated up and down around Mei Changge.
Mei Changge’s eyes narrowed as the Soldier Stones swiftly soared toward the 100-foot-wide cavity, without overlapping one another.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Soldier Stones appeared to possess a will of their own. They descended into the pit and autonomously positioned themselves.
Mei Changge also felt the spiritual energy around him begin to fluctuate as if it were affected by something. It began to swarm towards the pit.
As Soldier Stones fell into it, the surrounding spiritual energy turned into spiritual water and poured into the pit.
The basic pit and soil were enshrouded in spiritual energy. But astonishingly, they crystallized as if they had metamorphosed into bricks. Due to their angular features, they were neatly stacked in the pit.
Interesting.
The corners of Mei Changge’s mouth curled up as he looked at the changes in the soldier pool.
Soon, all the Soldier Stones around him fell into the soldier pool, and the speed at which the spiritual energy flowed decreased.
At the pinnacle of the soldier pool before him, the statue had undergone a complete transformation aue to the array formation..
