Chapter 211 - Gargoyle Flower! Another Holy Stone!
Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Gargoyle Flower! Another Holy Stone!
Seeing the attacks rapidly approaching the city walls, Scarlet Rose’s expression grew even more unsightly.
Following which, an energy barrier rose up from within her territory, quickly enveloping the entire territory.
This was a defensive tool that Scarlet Rose had exchanged for a Holy Scroll.
Ever since the video of Ren Qi being attacked had spread, many of the new lords had begun to take an intense interest in defensive barriers that could cover the entire territory.
Scarlet Rose was no exception. She had used a holy scroll to exchange for this defensive tool that could cover the entire territory.
!!However, this defensive tool’s energy barrier could only defend against attacks Tier-7 and below. It could also defend against Tier-8 attacks, but its effects would be greatly weakened.
However, this defensive tool had one advantage, which was that it didn’t need to consume energy crystals. It could completely rely on its own defensive strength.
One after another, attacks smashed onto the defensive barrier that enveloped her territory, causing ripples to appear.
She knew very well that this energy barrier wouldn’t be able to hold on for long. After all, her defense wasn’t strong enough.
Without any hesitation, she ordered the cannons on the city walls to fire, and a large number of cannonballs shot downwards.
The black turtles immediately turned their backs on her territory, receiving all of the cannonballs.
Maggie led the support succubi as well, equipping the turtles with pitch-black energy shields to help them block the incoming attacks from the city walls.
After a round of volleys, Scarlet Rose discovered that the turtles only shook a few times, not receiving any damage.
On the contrary, the fierce attacks from the other side started to shake the energy shield covering her territory, producing muffled sounds.
Her brows instantly furrowed.
She understood that if this continued, her territory would sooner or later be breached.
However, she didn’t have any better ideas at the moment.
The hellhounds on the city walls also continuously opened their mouths, spewing hellfire downwards.
However, compared to the hellfire that Elise had released, the hellfire that these hellhounds spat out was a just trash. It was directly blocked by Maggie’s energy barrier.
Ao Xing and the Black Flood Dragon clan began to attack the Scarlet Rose territory from the sky.
Along with muffled sounds, the energy barrier that enveloped the territory began to crack.
The plague succubi also activated their abilities. A large amount of plague energy spread towards the sanguine primrose territory.
This plague energy could even penetrate the energy barrier in front of them and enter the territory.
At this moment, Irene rode on a dark dragon and arrived above the Scarlet Rose territory.
Two pitch-black longswords appeared in her hands. With a leap, Irene leapt up from the dark dragon beneath her. The pitch-black longswords in her hands intersecting, and she directly slashed down at the energy barrier that enveloped the entire territory.
“Boom!”
Following a loud muffled sound, the pitch-black longsword in Irene’s hands directly slashed across the energy barrier.
“Crack Crack Crack!”
The sound of grinding teeth rang out as numerous cracks instantly appeared on the energy barrier.
Soon after, with a crisp sound, the entire energy barrier shattered.
Beside Ren Qi, Risa brought the death succubus beside her into the shadows and disappeared.
Soon after, Risa’s figure appeared on the city wall and began to attack the surrounding hellhounds.
Elise and the rest quickly surrounded and attacked the city wall.
Han Wu, who was below, opened his mouth and inhaled a breath of air. After which, he opened his mouth and spat out an energy light wave towards the front.
“Rumble!”
This energy light wave directly landed on the city gate in front of the Scarlet Rose territory. Following an intense muffled sound, it directly blasted open the huge city gate in front of them.
Following which, the black turtles and the remaining succubi charged in.
At this moment, the Scarlet Rose on the city wall had already sunk into a state of madness. She began to crazily make the surrounding hellhounds explode their essence and tear at the succubi in front of her.
Unfortunately, she was already at the end of her rope.
Scarlet Rose was also very clear about her current situation. The fear in the depths of her eyes quickly disappeared, leaving behind only madness.
She immediately took out a small knife and slashed her wrist.
Large amounts of fresh blood gushed out from her wrist, quickly spraying onto the city walls below.
The thick stench of blood instantly spread out, causing her face to reveal an intoxicated expression.
Following that, a smile appeared on her face, quickly turning into a loud laugh.
As the stench of blood spread, the blood-colored flowers on the surrounding city walls began to extend rapidly, as if they were suddenly given the ability to move.
Gargoyle Flowers!
These blood-colored flowers were Tier-8 items obtained by Scarlet Rose!
This was a type of trap flower!
Normally, they would go into hibernation. By devouring flesh and blood, they could reproduce and expand the range and power of the trap.
However, these Gargoyle Flowers were very strange. Every once in a while, they needed to devour the blood of the lord. Otherwise, they would mutiny.
To activate these Gargoyle Flowers, the conditions were also very strange.
It was not that the enemy had to be within the attack range, but that the lord’s blood aura was needed to activate them!
A large number of Gargoyle Flowers rose up and quickly opened their petals. Like a bloody mouth that was in full bloom, they devoured the succubi on the city wall.
Elise and the others frowned and began to attack the Gargoyle Flowers that were attacking crazily.
As the flowers’ attacks were too strange, some of the succubi who were not far away from the flowers were devoured.
The grinding sound of chewing caused the surrounding succubi to change their expressions.
Elise opened her palm and a large amount of hellfire started to rain on the Gargoyle Flowers.
Irene led the battle succubi and cut off the surrounding flowers, then rescued the succubi that were swallowed.
Maggie also brought the healing succubi to the succubi that were swallowed, helping them heal their wounds.
The succubi that were swallowed by these flowers were covered with all kinds of bite marks, as if they had been bitten by many big mouths.
A few succubi that had been saved too late had already lost their breath.
Seeing this, Elise and the others attacked even more frantically, quickly killing the Gargoyle Flowers and the hellhounds.
Meanwhile, Risa’s gaze fell on Scarlet Rose, who was not far away!
Sensing her murderous gaze, a smile appeared on Scarlet Rose’s pale face.
Following which, she leaped into the air.
Right after hat, a few hellhounds leaped up and bit down on Scarlet Rose’s body.
Her expression suddenly stiffened as a look of extreme pain appeared on her face.
Following which, she bit her lip and waved her right hand.
On the lower right side of the city wall, a gigantic Gargoyle Flower suddenly leaped up and opened its huge petals, swallowing Scarlet Rose and the hellhounds that were biting her.
Gulp!
The gargantuan Gargoyle Flower swallowed them, and the terrifying grinding sound of its teeth rang out once more.
The gargantuan Gargoyle Flower had another effect, which was that after swallowing a lord, it could greatly stimulate its bloodline and grow into a Tier-9 trap.
The gargantuan Gargoyle Flower had previously obtained a large amount of power through devouring flesh and blood, and it could be considered close to Tier-9.
Now that it had devoured the Scarlet Rose, the bloodline power in its body was instantly activated, and its body rapidly expanded.
Sharp thorns extended from the branches of the Gargoyle Flower, flickering with a cold light and appearing incomparably sharp.
Following that, the Gargoyle Flower was like a long snake, directly extending its body on the city wall and heading towards the succubi.
Without any hesitation, Elise blocked in front of the Gargoyle Flower.
With a slight movement of her palm, a huge Shadow Lotus rose from beneath the Gargoyle Flower and swallowed it.
However, the Shadow Lotus was quickly torn open as the Gargoyle Flower opened its bloody mouth and bit down at Elise.
A cluster of intense hellfire condensed in Elise’s hand. She took this opportunity to throw it into the mouth of the Gargoyle Flower.
At this moment, a shadow flashed across the spot. Elise’s figure disappeared in an instant, and she appeared in the distance.
At this moment, the Gargoyle Flower smashed heavily onto the city wall, emitting an intense muffled sound.
Following which, the Gargoyle Flower began to shake its body frantically.
After devouring Scarlet Rose, the Gargoyle Flower had become a Tier-9 complete trap and was extremely powerful.
However, it was a pity that it was facing Elise!
As a Tier-9 complete mutated succubus, Elise also possessed the hellfire that specialized in dealing with plants. She immediately used a ball of hellfire to teach the Gargoyle Flower a lesson.
Very quickly, a large amount of hellfire began to appear on the Gargoyle Flower’s body, quickly spreading towards its core.
The Gargoyle Flower let out an unwilling cry before it heavily smashed down towards the bottom of the city wall.
With the death of Scarlet Rose, the remaining hellhounds were immediately defeated. Some of them even began to flee frantically, wanting to leave this place.
Ten minutes later, Ren Qi arrived at the top of Scarlet Rose’s city wall. The surroundings had already quieted down.
Ren Qi had only paid a small price to conquer this Tier-4 territory.
With Ren Qi’s current combat strength, a Tier-8 new lord wouldn’t be able to resist him at all.
Unless he had a stronger defensive method that could stop Ren Qi’s troops from fighting a war of attrition outside the territory, Ren Qi could easily destroy a Tier-8 new lord’s territory.
Soon, the succubi entered the territory and began to clean up the battlefield.
Ren Qi also went to the warehouse in territory, preparing to collect his spoils of war.
Opening the warehouse, Ren Qi’s eyes lit up.
The warehouse in the Scarlet Rose territory was filled with all sorts of resources.
There were all sorts of large chests, and when Ren Qi opened one of them, he saw a large amount of energy crystals hidden inside.
There were also some chests that stored magic crystals, and there were many of them.
Ren Qi noticed that these chests that stored energy crystals and magic crystals weren’t of the same specifications. Instead, they were all sorts of chests, and there were many signs of other territories on them.
It seemed that this Scarlet Rose had done a lot of killing and looting.
After taking out all the resources, Ren Qi asked the succubi to tidy them up before placing them on the turtles’ bodies, preparing to take them back.
After doing an inventory, Ren Qi was very happy with the results.
There were a total of 60,000 energy crystals and a total of 1,000 magic crystals. The harvest was very rich.
This woman only had 60,000 energy crystals and she had already taken out 50,000 energy crystals as a reward. It seemed like she had no intention of giving it to him.
To think that he had thought that she was a little rich lady.
Pulling these resources, Ren Qi left the territory of Scarlet Rose and headed towards the frost pool.
Very quickly, Ren Qi brought the large group back to the front of the frost pool.
When they arrived at the frost pool, Ren Qi saw that Wang Muyu had already collected the corpses of the hellhounds and the Tier-8 soldiers.
At this moment, Wang Muyu was commanding the soldiers to retrieve the corpses of the frost rhinos.
The corpses of these monsters were slightly bigger. Wang Muyu’s soldiers were so tired that they were panting. However, Wang Muyu did not stop for even a moment.
When he saw Ren Qi, Wang Muyu was stunned for a moment. Clearly, he was surprised that Ren Qi could return so quickly.
However, he then walked over to Ren Qi.
“Big Brother 77, according to your instructions, we are currently salvaging the corpses of these monsters. We have already salvaged more than half of them. There are still some that are about to be salvaged.”
Ren Qi nodded his head in satisfaction. He opened his mouth and said to Wang Muyu, “Well done.”
Then, Ren Qi asked Elise, Ao Xing, and Han Wu to help.
At this moment, Wang Muyu took out a crystal and handed it to Ren Qi.
“Big Brother 77, this was found from the corpse of a frost rhino. It’s similar to the crystal that many people bought at a high price in the chat group recently. It should be something precious. I’ll give it to you.”
Wang Muyu didn’t know that he was holding a Holy Stone in his hand. He didn’t know what a Holy Stone was either.
It was just that this crystal was very similar to the one that many people in the chat group bought at a high price recently. Wang Muyu took it and kept it for Ren Qi.
Looking at the Holy Stone in Wang Muyu’s hand, Ren Qi’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect there to be such a pleasant surprise.
Then, Ren Qi took the Holy Stone in his hand.
This holy stone wasn’t too big, but it was half the size of the Pure Dark Holy Stone in Ren Qi’s possession.
This was a Water Holy Stone. It could absorb the souls of water-type creatures, and then increase the strength of water-type creatures.
Ren Qi took this Water Holy Stone and prepared to go back and merge it with his Elemental Holy Stone.
With the integration of this Water Holy Stone, his Elemental Holy Stone’s soul power conversion efficiency would increase by a lot.
Soon, the rest of the corpses of the soldiers and the frost rhinos were salvaged.
Ren Qi looked at the large number of soldiers’ corpses and did not let the black turtles carry them back. Instead, he let the succubi disintegrate them on the spot.
With so many corpses and the frost rhinos, it was better to disintegrate them.
On the other hand, Elise, Cyril, and the others held the bag that could store soul power and began to quickly collect the soul power of the dead soldiers and frost rhinos.
Wang Muyu, who was at the side, also instructed his soldiers to help the succubi disintegrate them. He looked like he was sparing no effort.
Ren Qi naturally knew that Wang Muyu was trying to curry favor with him.
However, Ren Qi didn’t think of doing anything to Wang Muyu because there was no need for that.
Moreover, the other party was forced to do so.
“Do you know where the territories of these Tier-8 soldiers are?” Ren Qi pointed at the corpses on the ground and asked Wang Muyu.
Scarlet Rose had already been destroyed, but the territories of these Tier-8 soldiers had yet to be plundered.
They had already delivered themselves to their doorstep. If he didn’t go to their territories, he would be letting them down.
Wang Muyu was stunned for a moment before nodding, “I know. I know where their territories are. I can bring Big Boss 77 there.”
Ren Qi nodded and did not say anything. He waited for the succubi to deal with the corpses of the soldiers and monsters.
By the time the succubi finished dealing with the corpses, it was already afternoon.
After some simple repairs, Ren Qi asked the succubi to peel off the edible meat and various ingredients from the soldiers and place them on the black turtles, letting them carry them.
As there were a lot of them, almost every black turtle was covered in various items.
All of the black turtles had turned into cargo turtles, and the large group of them began to head towards the territories of the five Tier-8 troops.
Because these new lords had already died, Ren Qi did not expend much energy and directly charged into the territories of the Tier-8 lords.
After entering, Ren Qi naturally did not hesitate to plunder and take all the resources inside.
By the time he had finished plundering all the resources in the territories of these five new lords, the sky had already darkened.
“Big Brother 77, the sky is already dark. Why don’t you guys go to my territory to rest for the night and return tomorrow?” Wang Muyu looked at Ren Qi and said sincerely.
Hearing Wang Muyu’s words, Ren Qi looked at him and nodded slightly.
After arriving at Wang Muyu’s territory, Ren Qi realized that the other party actually had a Tier-3 territory. Among the Tier-7 new lords, this was considered pretty good.
After entering Wang Muyu’s territory, Ren Qi got the succubi around him to rest.
Wang Muyu looked at Ren Qi and bit his lip.
After that, he ran to his warehouse and took out something before returning to Ren Qi’s side.
“Big Brother 77, if I want to follow you in the future, please give me a chance. I don’t have much to offer, so I’ll give this to you. I hope you can promise me.”
Ren Qi, who was about to have dinner, was shocked when he heard Wang Muyu’s words.
Then, he saw the item in Wang Muyu’s hand.
It was a crystal!
It was a Holy Stone!
