CHAPTER 135: CHAPTER 93: SEVERAL DAYS LATER, THE STRENGTH OF A LEVEL 14 CREATURE!

Meanwhile, Lear used the spoils from the past two days of hunting to start training the third Cold-blooded Cavalry Squad.

Today, his goal was to clear the area beyond 15 kilometers to the east.

As Weilu City grew, the areas close to the territory had already been swept through several times.

Not to mention the wild monster bases, even ordinary beasts were scarce.

The hunting area could only extend outward.

Setting out at dawn for hunting, he returned to the territory at noon.

The monster gathering areas to the east were very dense; by the end of the day, the Bubble Beasts were filled with 50 bubbles of corpses.

Enough to train two squads of Cold-blooded Cavalry!

Thus, the number of Cold-blooded Cavalry being trained reached three squads, with two joining the battle sequence.

Every day, strength was changing.

Busy for three days, the timeline reached the 29th—a very crucial day.

A group of Dark Night Elves being hunted by the Wild Blood Pirates would pass through Mire Swamp, via Weilu City, on the 29th. (2 Stars)

This piece of information wasn’t of high value, but it had two key points—the Dark Night Elves and the Wild Blood Pirates.

The Wild Blood Pirates roamed the wilderness, living by looting.

The Barbarian Race made up their main members, who especially loved to raid human territories and caravans, leaving nothing in their wake.

They were a terrifying presence for the Lords establishing territories in the wilderness.

According to incomplete statistics, one-third of Pioneer Lords were killed by the Wild Blood Pirates.

Since the specific time wasn’t shown in the intelligence, it meant danger could arise at any moment.

Even a lion takes a rabbit hunt seriously; he didn’t want any accidents at this time.

Residents in a busy state ignored the disturbances outside and diligently completed their work.

Lear had released the Crimson Wasps early on, spreading them around a 10-kilometer radius.

Any stir in the wind, and he would receive the news immediately.

The Crimson Wasps weren’t large, settling in grass or tree tops, making small targets not drawing much attention.

It was exceptionally effective for monitoring.

At midday, while sitting by the fish pond drinking tea and feeding the fish, Lear’s eyes flickered, looking up ahead.

In the next moment, buzz buzz buzz~

The Crimson Queen Bee flapped its wings and flew over.

"Master, the target has been found!"

He immediately perked up.

Finally, here it is!

"In which direction?"

"Coming from the north... those Dark Night Elves have entered stealth mode and are using the plants’ shadows to avoid tracking."

"They’re completely invisible to the normal eye."

Using shadow stealth?

Lear’s gaze flickered.

"How many of them are there?"

"Roughly estimated at less than two squadrons, the exact number needs further confirmation."

"Don’t startle them; let them deliver themselves."

"Yes!"

The Crimson Queen Bee immediately relayed the command.

Every few minutes, reports would come, updating their location.

Their exact route was firmly under control.

An hour later.

A group of Dark Night Elves, stealthing in the shadows and entirely invisible, approached Weilu City.

Pointed ears, high noses, skin in a semi-translucent state, their beauty almost perfect, without a flaw.

Clad in black cloaks, their gazes were deep and dark.

Each held a grayish-brown hardwood longbow engraved with Elf Runes, with several quivers on their backs, half of which were already empty.

The leading Dark Night Elf gazed at Weilu City, looking at the City Hall with some surprise.

"There’s actually such a territory in the swamp!"

"Look at their buildings... all woven with vines!"

A natural affinity with plants is an instinct for all Elves.

The vibrant Life Energy of the City Hall was like a blazing fire in the night to their eyes, so blindingly visible.

A startled Elf behind spoke with astonishment.

"Master Isa... is that plant building possessing Spirituality?!"

"My God above!"

"This is incredible!"

This statement made all the Dark Night Elves widen their eyes, looking at the City Hall with great delight.

Plants with Spirituality almost didn’t exist in the Underworld.

On that dark, barren land, such treasures couldn’t grow.

After confirming, everyone became restless.

"Master Isa... can we take this building back to the underground?"

"If we can obtain it, it wouldn’t be long before our strength significantly boosts!"

Elf talent—Affinity for plants, can use the Life Essence attached to plants to enhance their strength.

In legend, the Royal Capital of Elves was completely formed by plants, which isn’t just a legend.

"Moreover... not just that building, but all the other buildings in this territory are also composed of vines."

The Dark Night Elf became more excited as they spoke.

"If we could occupy this territory, it wouldn’t be long before we could return to the underground!"

"Reclaim our occupied land!"

All the Dark Night Elves were lifted by this statement, their eyes full of longing.

"We must not act rashly! The Lord who built this territory is definitely not weak... He should not be underestimated!"

The leading Dark Night Elf, Isa, had deep eyes.

"Master, we also have the Dark Heart! Once we activate that building... its power can rival a level 14 creature!"

The speaking Dark Night Elf said with reluctance.

"No matter how strong the enemy, we can fight our way out!"

"Those filthy Barbarians behind us are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered!"

"But..."

The Dark Night Elf leader Isa hesitated a little more.

But in an instant, the companions behind her continued.

"We have no other choices left... Master, do you still expect to find a plant with a richer Essence of Life than that building?!"

"Do you fantasize about just returning to the underground?"

"Do you think with our current power, we can regain the occupied land?"

"Do you think we can survive longer while wandering on the earth’s surface?"

One cold sentence after another crushed Isa’s heart like a hammer.

Clenching teeth.

"If so, then let’s take a leap of faith!!"

The tone carried a bit of determination.

"Stay alert, infiltrate through the weak point."

"Once close to that building, immediately activate it with the Dark Heart!"

"The opponent’s guards are just Wetland Lizard-men, not very dangerous; once we activate this building, even if their army returns, we need not fear!"

Feeling that surging Life Energy, the gaze was incredibly fervent.

Does the crisis exist? No, she’s more aware than anyone else of the risk of venturing into an unfamiliar territory like this.

On the surface, it looked safe, but who knew what the other territory was hiding.

But... was there another option?

To continue wandering in the wilderness, chased by those filthy Barbarians like dogs?

How long could such days last?

The Elf’s pride wouldn’t allow this to continue.

Even if it means death, it cannot be this disgraceful anymore!

Lear, while sipping tea, suddenly displayed a subtle expression.

He didn’t understand what those Dark Night Elves were doing... why they suddenly began infiltrating Weilu City?

Luckily, he had given prior orders, and there weren’t many residents within the territory.

Thus, there wasn’t much concern about significant losses.

Moreover, the territory didn’t have much wealth, as the precious Treasures were hidden underground by the Swamp Treant.

What were these guys up to?

Unsure of their intentions, Lear didn’t alert them, quietly watching the Dark Moon Elves skillfully maneuver through the shadows past the residents, approaching the City Hall, and then... went all the way in.

His expression turned odd immediately.

This was beyond ridiculous, like voluntarily walking into a trap.

How did they dare to enter the City Hall?!

This brain of theirs is quite something.

At this moment, rumbling~

Suddenly, a muffled roar echoed from underground.

He saw the City Hall, rooted in the underground, with countless thick roots rising.

Large cracks appeared all around, dirt splattering everywhere.

At the same time, a chorus of joyous voices filled the sky.

"Hahaha... we succeeded!"

"Praise my God!!"

"The activated vine building truly reached the strength of a level 14 life form!!"

Seeing this, Lear suddenly smiled in relief.

At least these guys weren’t entirely crazy... although, maybe almost?

Trying to pry his City Hall away right under his nose.

This was treating him as if he didn’t exist.
