Lord Of The People: I Recruited A Mutant Succubus From The Start Chapter 188 – Exploring the Hidden Treasure!  

Ren Qi rode on the dark dragon and brought Tina along with him. Under the trembling flight of the dark dragon, they arrived in front of the half-dead Ao Xing.

Blackie also followed them and stood on Ren Qi's shoulder. It glared at Ao Xing as if it was warning him not to act rashly.

Ao Xing's heart was as dead like ash. Without the flood dragon pearl, he had basically cut off the possibility of advancing to the saint level. This made him feel very uncomfortable.

Looking at Ao Xing, Ren Qi said, “If you lead your clansmen to submit to me, I can guarantee that your clansmen will not die.”

Ao Xing's eyes lit up. He looked at ren qi and asked, “How do we submit?”

Ren Qi pointed at Tina and said, “Just hand over a wisp of soul energy to her.”

Hearing that, Ao Xing said angrily, “You want me to become her slave! That's impossible!”

Ao Xing could accept submitting to her, but if he handed over a wisp of soul energy, the nature of his soul would change. Then, he would become her slave and would never be able to turn over a new leaf.

Ren Qi raised his eyebrows. “I'm only giving you a way out. Whether you want it or not is up to you. I believe that the few dark dragon big brothers around have not eaten their fill yet.”

Ao Xing glared at Ren Qi, but he soon calmed his temper.

He knew clearly that what the guy in front of him said was right. This was its only way out. If it didn't agree, not only it, but the entire black flood dragon clan would also be exterminated.

However, handing over a wisp of soul power and becoming the other party's slave… what was the difference between that and death?

Ren Qi looked at the black flood dragon and said softly, “That Yong Jingfeng brought you guys here to attack my territory. It should be for the Dark Holy Stone, right?”

“My territory no longer has the Dark Holy Stone, but I have the Pure Holy Stone. If you choose to submit, I can let you use the Pure Holy Stone. You only need to hand over half of the monsters that your black flood dragon clan hunts, and the rest can use the Pure Holy Stone to increase your strength.”

Hearing Ren Qi's words, Ao Xing's eyes, which had already lost their color, suddenly shone with a bright light.

“Pure Holy Stone? You have a Pure Holy Stone?” Ao Xing looked at Ren Qi and said in disbelief.

Pure Holy Stones were even better than Dark-type holy stones. Ao Xing really couldn't believe that this guy in front of him actually had a Pure Holy Stone.

“Of course! There's no need for me to lie to you.” Ren Qi nodded slightly.

Ao Xing's breathing instantly became hurried. He looked at Ren Qi and asked anxiously, “Are you really willing to let me use the Pure Holy Stone?”

Ren Qi nodded and said, “It's not just you. Your Black Flood Dragon clan can use the Pure Holy Stone as long as you submit to me.”

Upon hearing this, Ao Xing nodded without hesitation and said, “Alright! I promise you!”

If he could use the Pure Holy Stone, even if he had lost the Flood Dragon Bead, he would be able to condense it again. Moreover, it was possible for him to break through to the Saint realm.

As for whether he was a slave or not, saying such words was a little strange.

It was not that I wanted to become a slave, but I just wanted to do something for my master.

As he spoke, Ao Xing forcefully supported his already-weak body. He separated a wisp of soul power and handed it over to Tina.

Tina didn't hesitate at all. She directly absorbed this wisp of soul power and turned it into absolute loyalty to Ren Qi.

Ren Qi could also sense Ao Xing's soul state through this wisp of soul power.

Ao Xing's life and death were now in his hands with a single thought.

Ren Qi nodded his head in satisfaction. In this battle, he had lost about 100 black flood dragons and two white-headed black flood dragons.

Although some of them were injured, once they recovered, they would have a complete tier 8 battle prowess.

Such a harvest was still very good.

Next was the Hanwu Turtle Clan.

As soon as Ren Qi landed, Han Wu rushed over to Ren Qi.

“Master, please take me in! I knew you weren't an ordinary person. My respect for you is unparalleled.”

“I wanted to switch sides just now and join your arms, but I never got the chance.”

“Wu Wu Wu, the heavens have pitied me. Master, since you're here, our Black Turtle clan will have a future.”

Han Wu had already heard Ren Qi and Ao Xing's words just now.

It originally wanted to live. When it heard that Ren Qi had the Pure Holy Stone, it immediately submitted.

Han Wu came here for the Dark Holy Stone. Now that Ren Qi had something better, and his well-being still under the other party's control, what else was there to say?

Join him!

It had to be said that Han Wu had thoroughly studied the way of survival.

Ren Qi was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the Black Turtle Clan's patriarch to be so tactful.

“Han Wu! Stop flattering yourself. Master, the Black Turtle Clan's turtle shell is very hard. I think it can be used to make armor. It's absolutely solid. Why don't we kill them?”

Ao Xing looked at Ren Qi and said flatteringly.

Although Ren Qi allowed him to use the Pure Holy Stone, Ao Xing knew that he wouldn't be able to use it for a long time.

With Han Wu's addition, the time he could use the Pure Holy Stone would be even less.

When Han Wu heard that, he immediately exploded.

“Ao Xing! What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you say just now that you don't want to be Master's slave? What are you still doing here? Hurry up and get into the belly of the dark dragons!”

Ao Xing said angrily, “What are you talking about, you stupid turtle?”

“I'm talking about you, you coward. What's wrong? Bite me!” Han Wu's four limbs instantly shrank into the turtle shell, and he looked at Ao Xing and said righteously.

“Alright, stop quarreling. Since you want to submit, then hand over a trace of your soul power,” Ren Qi looked at Han Wu and said directly.

Han Wu did not hesitate as he happily handed over his soul power to Tina.

After Tina absorbed and refined it, Ren Qi instantly sensed Han Wu's soul power.

Ren Qi was extremely happy that the Black Flood Dragon clan and the Black Turtle clan had been subdued.

When the dark dragons in the sky saw this, they flew back to the large mountain that was covered in black fog behind the succubus territory under the lead of the dark dragon.

Ren Qi's eyes flickered as he watched the dark dragons disappear into the black fog that covered the large mountain.

Previously, Ren Qi knew that the large mountain behind his territory was very mysterious. Now, it seemed that it had become even more mysterious.

There were actually dark dragons inside!

Although only sixteen dark dragons had appeared this time around, who knew if there were even more dark dragons inside?

Perhaps there was an entire clan.

Moreover, before the other party left, the dark dragon that was the leader of the group had mentioned a fortuitous encounter that made Ren Qi somewhat puzzled.

What fortuitous encounter?

20 Tier-9 complete succubi!

It seemed that this so-called fortuitous encounter couldn't be done without sufficient strength.

Ren Qi was still some time away from 20 Tier-9 complete succubi, so he wouldn't consider this matter for the time being.

After letting the succubi clean up the battlefield, Ren Qi brought the Black Flood Dragon clan and the Black Turtle clan back to his territories and divided them into regions.

Ren Qi's territory was large enough for them to live in anyway.

After making the arrangements, Ren Qi looked at Ao Xing and Han Wu and asked, “Do you still have any clansmen left?”

Ao Xing said, “We are different from your lords. We don't value our territories that much. It's just that it's more comfortable to live there. That's why we left ten clansmen there. I can ask them to come over.”

Han Wu also nodded and said, “That's right. Because we knew that your territory was very powerful, our Black Turtle clan only left five clansmen there. We have brought the others.”

Master should be able to tell that the hidden lure of the strength of the master's territory was strong.

Ren Qi nodded and said, “What about precious resources? For example, energy crystals or magic crystals. Didn't you guys stay in your territory for a long time?”

Ao Xing shook his head and said, “Ordinary magic beasts would probably stay in the territory, but we black flood dragons can swallow energy crystals and magic crystals and store them in our stomachs. We can carry them around with us.”

As he said that, Ao Xing had his clansmen spit out energy crystals and magic crystals.

Two hundred black flood dragons spat out 40,000 energy crystals and 400 magic crystals.

Ren Qi's eyes flickered as he watched the black flood dragons' stomachs flatten.

When the corpses of the black flood dragons outside were brought back, he would be able to obtain nearly 20,000 energy crystals.

“What about you guys? Did you swallow them too?” Ren Qi looked at Han Wu and asked.

Han Wu said with disdain, “How can we be so disgusting? Our energy crystals and magic crystals are hidden in our turtle shell. It's very clean.”

As he spoke, Han Wu shook his body, and a large number of magic crystals were shaken out of his turtle shell.

Ren Qi roughly counted, and there were about 200 of them.

Looking at Han Wu's huge body, it seemed that it was not that difficult to put it in.

The otherturtles also received Han Wu's order and shook their bodies. A large number of energy crystals were shaken out of their turtle shells and scattered all over the ground.

There were around 20,000 energy crystals.

Such a harvest was not bad.

At this moment, Han Wu looked at Ren Qi and said, “Master, I'd like to report that Ao Xing still has a Dark Holy Stone. He didn't hand it over.”

Ao Xing's face turned green. He looked at Han Wu and said angrily, “What do you mean I didn't hand it over? I just remembered it and was about to hand it over.”

As he spoke, Ao Xing opened his mouth and spat out a black crystal. It was a Dark Holy Stone.

This Dark Holy Stone was not too big. It was about one-third the size of Ren Qi's previous Dark Holy Stone.

Ren Qi glanced at Ao Xing and knew that it was not hidden on purpose.

Although the Black Flood Dragon clan and the Black Turtle Clan had submitted to him because Ao Xing and Han Wu's soul power had been controlled by him, with the Dark Belief Tower around, as long as there was enough time… they would become completely loyal to Ren Qi, just like his troops.

After settling the matter between the Black Flood Dragon clan and the Black Turtle Clan, Ren Qi came to Li Tianlan and Li Linan's side.

At this time, Li Tianlan and Li Linan were commanding their troops to come back and reorganize.

Ren Qi looked at Li Tianlan and Li Linan and said, “Thank you for coming to support us this time.”

Li Tianlan waved her hand and said, “I didn't help much.”

Not long after the five elemental thunder qilins and the dwarves charged into the battlefield, the dark dragons arrived. The five elemental thunder qilins and the dwarves had basically just gone through a formality and suffered some injuries.

Ren Qi shook his head and said, “You can't say that. No one expected the dark dragons to come. The fact that you guys came to support us at the first moment is enough to make me grateful.”

When Li Tianlan and Li Linan arrived, the battlefield was still very chaotic. It could even be said that Ren Qi's side was at a disadvantage.

If the five elemental thunder qilin and the dwarves charged forward, there would probably be large-scale casualties. However, Li Tianlan and Li Linan still chose to directly order their troops to charge forward.

Just this alone was enough to make Ren Qi grateful.

“These are 10,000 Energy Crystals and 100 magic crystals as your reward.” Ren Qi brought the neatly-arranged energy crystals and magic crystals to Li Tianlan and Li Linan and said to the two of them.

Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment. Then, she shook her head and said, “Our troops didn't suffer any losses. There's no need for you to provide compensation.”

Ren Qi said, “You have to accept it. Otherwise, if such a situation happens again, I won't look for you.”

He knew Li Tianlan's character. If he didn't say so, she wouldn't accept the energy crystals and magic crystals.

The five elemental thunder qilin and the dwarves didn't suffer any losses. Ten Thousand energy crystals and a hundred magic crystals as compensation might seem a bit excessive, but Ren Qi knew that it wasn't much.

Now, he and Li Tianlan were already very firm allies. Even if Li Tianlan had helped him before, just the fact that she didn't hesitate to come and let the five elemental thunder qilin charge into the battlefield this time was enough to make these energy crystals and magic crystals worth it.

When Li Tianlan heard Ren Qi's words, she did not put on too much pretense. Very quickly, she accepted the energy crystals and magic crystals.

After they were done with their preparations, Li Tianlan and Li Linan immediately activated the Five Elements Teleportation Array and left.

Meanwhile, the succubi also collected the black flood dragons' corpses and the black turtles' corpses on the battlefield, as well as the hydras' heads.

Although the hydras' bodies had been eaten by the dark dragons, their heads were still useful.

For example, the teeth could be used to forge weapons, such as daggers.

Ren Qi was prepared to fuse Shi Kongshen's snake teeth together and forge a dagger for Risa.

Risa's stealth ability was very powerful. As long as she had a sharp dagger, she would be able to greatly increase her own combat strength.

The rest of the materials were handed to the dwarf elder, and he was asked to forge various items.

Looking at the two mithril cannons on the city wall, Ren Qi patted his head and asked Maggie to send them back to Li Tianlan and Li Linan.

Then, Ren Qi called the dwarf elder who was transporting various materials.

“How's the condition of the Dwarf Heart? Can it be repaired?”

Previously, the situation was quite tense, so Ren Qi did not have the time to pay too much attention to the situation of the Dwarf Heart.

However, the defensive light barrier was directly broken, so the situation of the Dwarf Heart was probably not good.

When the dwarf elder heard this, a dim light flashed in his eyes.

“Master, the Dwarf Heart is damaged, but it's not completely broken. It's just a little damaged. Adding materials should still be able to repair it, but we will suffer a loss.”

Ren Qi nodded. Then, he asked the dwarf elder not to worry about the loss of the materials and to focus on repairing the Dwarf Heart.

Ren Qi was a little too greedy in this battle.

He originally wanted to rely on the Dwarf Heart to withstand the attack and then slowly eat away at the three major monster forces. This way, the benefits could be maximized.

However, he did not expect that the three monster leaders would be so powerful. They directly broke the Dwarf Heart's defensive light barrier, resulting in the subsequent bloody battle.

Although he had Li Tianlan and Li Linan's support, he could still send the dark elves to deal with the situation. However, the final victory would definitely be very tragic.

This was an extremely serious mistake. Ren Qi would remember this lesson and never repeat it again.

Although the dark dragons came in the end, Ren Qi's troops still suffered some losses.

More than 50 succubi were killed, and there were even more dead elemental elves. Nearly 200 elemental elves were killed.

Fortunately, he got 200 complete Tier-8 black flood dragons and over 400 black turtles with extremely strong defense as reinforcements.

It had to be said that the black turtles' defense was really strong. Only a few dozen of them were killed in this battle.

Just as Ren Qi was analyzing the losses and summarizing his experience, Ao Xing and Han Wu suddenly rushed over.

“Master, my clansmen who stayed in our territory were killed!” Ao Xing looked at Ren Qi and said.

“Master, it's the same on my side. My clansmen were also killed!” Han Wu's expression was a little gloomy as he spoke.

When they had come before, they had thought about the possibility of their homes being attacked, but they had not taken it to heart.

After all, they were complete Tier 9 monsters, and they were extremely intimidating. As long as the surrounding monsters and new lords were not fools, they would not provoke them.

“Do you know who did it?” Ren Qi raised her eyebrows and asked.

Ao Xing said angrily, “It's Yong Jingfeng! That detestable fellow should have left a backup plan before this. The last message from my clansmen was that they were besieged by several new lord forces.”

Han Wu also said coldly, “It's the same on my side. Several new lord forces participated in the siege on my clansmen.”

Ren Qi frowned slightly.

Previously, he didn't pay attention to Yong Jingfeng, and he had escaped.

Now, it seemed that when Yong Jingfeng saw the dark dragons, he felt that Ao Xing and Han Wu didn't have a chance to escape, so he activated his backup plan.

He wanted to destroy the territory of the black flood dragons and black turtles in order to obtain the energy crystals, magic crystals, and other resources that might be stored there.

However, it was likely that even Yong Jingfeng did not expect that the black flood dragons and black turtles had ‘brought' the resources with them.

However, the hydra clan did not bring the resources with them. They should be in their territory.

Ren Qi had originally planned to bring Ao Xing and Han Wu to destroy the Hydra clan's nest after restoring his territory. Now, it seemed that Yong Jingfeng had already made his move!

“Don't worry. After the restoration is complete, I'll bring you to destroy Yong Jingfeng!” Ren Qi said as he looked at Ao Xing and Han Wu.

Ren Qi had loathed Yong Jingfeng for a long time. If he could destroy the other party, Ren Qi would definitely not let go of this opportunity.

Ren Qi knew the coordinates of Yong Jingfeng's territory. After he finished repairing his territory, he would go and kill Yong Jingfeng.

This time, Ren Qi would at least destroy Yong Jingfeng's recruitment pool!

Ao Xing and Han Wu listened to Ren Qi's words and nodded. Their attitude toward Ren Qi had obviously improved.

It seemed that this master was not a coward.

High in the sky above the succubus territory, Han Muyu did not dare to secretly take any more pictures after dodging the arrow shot by the elemental elf from the succubus territory. He quickly left the succubus territory.

As he flew back to his territory, Han Muyu shared his latest pictures in the chat.

[ Brothers, it's over. The battle outside the succubus territory is over. I believe that everyone already knows the final result. I still have some pictures and videos from the battle. I'll send them to everyone to take a look. ]

At this moment, in the chat group, the matter of the three great monster forces surrounding the succubus territory was also being discussed incessantly.

[ Who would have thought that the succubus territory would win in the end! ]

[ Who said it was impossible? When I saw the energy barrier of the succubus territory being breached, I almost thought that the three great monster forces were going to win. I didn't expect that the dark dragons would appear in the end. ]

[ This is strange. Previously, when the succubus territory was besieged, a black goblin army happened to appear and help the succubus territory out of the siege. Now, the dark dragons appeared and helped the succubus territory out of the siege. Isn't 77's luck too good? ]

[ Luck is also a type of strength. If only I had such good luck. ]

[ Tell me, is it possible that the appearance of the black goblins and the dark dragons was not caused by luck, but by some special reason?]

[ Special reason? What kind of reason could be so special? I think it can only be luck.]

[ I feel that after this, the strength of the succubus territory should be unquestionable, right?]

[ Unfortunately, after this, I reckon that no new lord would have any more ideas about the succubus territory. I reckon that it would be less fun. ]

[ it's still fun. You should survive here first. ]

…

The chat group expressed their opinions. Most of them were analyzing the current strength of the succubus territory through this siege.

Almost everyone had come to a conclusion that the current succubus territory was extremely powerful. It was best not to provoke it.

While the chat group was intensely discussing the succubus territory, Zhao Yuheng and Tian Jizi had already gathered in Xuan Ming's territory with their respective troops.

Zhao Yuheng looked at Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi and said, “Are you all ready? We must go all out in this exploration of the hidden treasure.”

Xuan Ming said, “Don't worry, Boss Zhao. I have already selected all the troops. I guarantee that they will be my strongest combat strength.”

Tian Jizi also said, “Me too. I'm ready.”

Zhao Yuheng nodded and said, “Okay, let's go. Remember, we don't know much about the secret treasure. This exploration is mainly about probing. Try to preserve the troops!”

Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi looked at each other and nodded heavily.

Following that, Zhao Yuheng's sky fortress slowly descended and let Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi's troops get inside.

After Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi's troops went up, Zhao Yuheng drove the sky fortress into the distance.

After advancing for two hours, Zhao Yuheng's sky fortress stopped at a place where black fog lingered.

Most of the black fog in the sky lingered in mid-air, but the black fog here was different. It condensed on the ground below and directly covered everything below.

After arriving here, Zhao Yuheng's expression became extremely grave.

The surrounding undying blood phoenixes' expression also became somewhat anxious.

Zhao Yuheng glanced at the surrounding undying blood phoenixes. After that, she slowly raised her hand and pressed down.

The sky fortress under her slowly descended into the black fog below!

Chapter end
