?35: Chapter 35 Selection 35: Chapter 35 Selection “Usually, with contributions like yours, the Blood Moon Lord could directly decide what kind of rewards to grant you.

    However, because your merit this time is exceptional, and your actions have allowed the Blood Moon Lord to show his face before the other Lords, he has decided to give you a choice.” After saying this, the monster envoy suppressed his expression and seriously addressed Zhou Tian and the others: “You have three choices.

    The first choice, the Blood Moon Lord can award you a territory hundreds of times the size of that village.

    The second choice, the Blood Moon Lord can give you a certain amount of experience and some scattered rewards.

    The third choice, if you renounce this reward, then the Blood Moon Lord will let you participate in this year’s final battle.” Once he opened his mouth, the monster envoy immediately laid out the Blood Moon Lord’s arrangement for Zhou Tian and others in full.

    “A final battle?” Obviously, given Zhou Tian and the Skeleton King’s qualifications and strength, they were completely unfamiliar with many things known only to the high-level monsters.

    Under such circumstances, they found what the monster envoy was referring to when he spoke of the “final battle” completely incomprehensible.

    After seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of Zhou Tian and his companions, the monster envoy seemed to recall their situation and immediately apologised by patting his forehead: “I am sorry, I nearly forgot that you have not participated in the final battle before, so you do not know much about it.

    Alright!

    Let me introduce you to the final battle.” The enovy continued: “Currently, over ninety percent of the continent has fallen into our branches’ hands, ensuring our control over the world seemed very likely.

    However, we containly did not expect the NPCs to significantly hinder our great cause of unifying the continent with the help of their cities and their clan’s experts.

    To quickly crush the NPC race, and not grant the NPCs excess time to recover, we organize an attack on a major NPC city every year to exhaust the enemy’s forces.

    We usually refer to this action as the ‘final battle’.

    Of course, those who usually saw action in the event were mostly powerful branch members.

    You dwell in the beginner’s area, so you perhaps haven’t heard of it.

    Do note that the Blood Moon Lord does not intentionally want you to go there to die.

    Even though there are numerous strong NPCs during the final battle, there are also a lot of common NPC soldiers.

    During the battle, any merits that you earn will be rewarded ten times more than usual.

    So, if you do choose to participate in the final battle, as long as you are confident of gaining merits, the final gains will undoubtedly surpass the rewards offered by the first two choices.”

    After hearing the monster envoy’s words, Zhou Tian already knew what to choose.

    However, instead of revealing his choice, he remained silent.

    During Zhou Tian’s silence, the Skeleton King quickly made a decision without hesitation, saying: “I choose to participate in the final battle.”

    Upon hearing the Skeleton King’s reply, Zhou Tian, after a moment of silence, spoke without hesitation: “I choose the second reward.”

    “Very well.

    Beastman leader, step forward.”

    “Yes.” Upon hearing the monster envoy’s words, Zhou Tian hurriedly stepped forward towards him.

    As had happened before when the Beastman Warrior had granted him a reward, the monster envoy, without saying a word, placed his weapon on Zhou Tian’s shoulder after he had approached.

    Subsequently, a massive amount of experience flowed into Zhou Tian’s body.

    At the same time, a flurry of new information appeared in his mind.

    Zhou Tian didn’t immediately try to process the rewards he’d received since he knew he could slowly assimilate them later.

    However, the Skeleton King’s choice demanded his immediate attention.

    With an indescribable expression, Zhou Tian observed as the monster envoy escorted the Skeleton King out.

    It wasn’t until the Skeleton King had completely disappeared from his sight that Zhou Tian’s face showed a trace of regret.

    Given the Skeleton King’s personality, it wasn’t strange for him to make such a choice.

    He was always predisposed to decisions closely related to combat, and out of the three conditions set by the Blood Moon Lord, the Skeleton King was most inclined to the third, which Zhou Tian understood completely.

    However, while the Skeleton King’s decision was understandable, Zhou Tian still felt a sense of loss when he saw the Skeleton King leave.

    Was the Blood Moon Lord’s third proposition really a reward?

    Perhaps!

    Sending them into top-level conflicts before they were fully prepared might sound reckless, but if they managed to survive, their strength advancement and worldview development would be exponentially faster than their normal progress.

    However, as much as this was true, Zhou Tian knew that the Skeleton King’s decision was putting him in mortal danger.

    As the monster envoy mentioned, there will be ordinary lower-ranked members besides the strong ones in the battle.

    But the Skeleton King might be completely oblivious to this fact!

    Being the top-tier existence here, but facing monsters exceeding level 100, his character that doesn’t even break level 100 would be considered at the bottom.

    Therefore, even when placed in that battlefield, he would still be at the bottom.

    Unless he finds characters who are already critically injured, opposing even the weakest group of NPC soldiers would be beyond him.

    Under these circumstances, if the Skeleton King could successfully retreat from that battlefield, he would then certainly surpass Zhou Tian.

    However, given the Skeleton King’s circumstances, as Zhou Tian saw it, this trip would probably be a one-way ticket.

    From a fundamental point of view, this scenario was something Zhou Tian would be pleased to see.

    After all, if the Skeleton King were to die, then Zhou Tian would be able to easily annex the Skeleton Clan. Sёar?h the N?velFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    It was for this reason that, despite foreseeing the problem, he didn’t dissuade the Skeleton King and watched him make a dangerous decision.

    However, Zhou Tian didn’t hesitate to sacrifice the Skeleton King for his own benefit.

    While he had no regrets, the Skeleton King’s past behavior did make him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

    Of course, Zhou Tian’s emotions lasted only a short while.

    Once the Skeleton King disappeared from his sight, he forcibly suppressed his feelings and began digesting the information he had just received.
