170 Super Divine Mountain and Gray Earth (2)
Ning Shi spent a day getting the Lightning Armor Tribe completely under his control.
Over the next few days, he led the Lightning Armor Tribe to fight all over the world, massacring and annexing more than a dozen small and medium-sized tribes.
The Lightning Armor Tribe had become the largest force around the myriad beast forest.
The number of advanced magical beasts in the clan had reached more than three million!
Since most of the massacring was carried out by advanced magical beasts, Ning Shi himself did not kill too many magical beasts. Even after taking the lead in every battle and not holding back, he killed less than 5,000 beasts.
This was because advanced magical beasts were intelligent creatures. As long as they felt that they were no match for the enemy, they would surrender.
The experience points of an advanced magical beast were between 20,000 and 50,000. Ning Shi had gained 120 million experience points in battle. In addition to his previous accumulated experience points, he was still about 10 million experience points away from leveling up.
Ning Shi didn’t plan to eradicate them for the time being. If necessary, he didn’t mind killing all the advanced magical beasts in the tribe to level up.
The main reason why he didn’t do so was because he recalled the game system’s explanation. After absorbing the origin weapon of the world, the game system’s ability to absorb souls in the World of Moen would be enhanced.
If he absorbed the origin weapon of the World of Moen, wouldn’t these advanced magical beasts provide more experience points?
It would be more cost-effective to level up then.
Ning Shi hoped most that the magical beasts could exist for a long time. That way, he could get an endless supply of experience points. Ning Shi would not be so foolish as to dry up a pond to catch fish.
Ning Shi borrowed the systems used by humans and divided all the advanced magical beasts into five ranks: squad, platoon, company, battalion, and brigade. Thus, above the elites, there were five positions: sergeant, lieutenant, captain, battalion commander, and general.
This solved the problem of many advanced magical beasts losing their motivation after becoming elites.
After controlling such a large area of influence, Ning Shi’s ability to obtain information had greatly increased. He gradually learned about the Super Divine Mountain.
He knew that the eight great ruler-level super magical beasts all lived around the mountain.
Ning Shi released all of his guardian spirit insects into the mountain and had them gather information about the place in secret. The Lightning Armor Tribe’s main focus was to gather information about places beyond the Super Divine Mountain.
This time, Ning Shi did not want to waste time.
He wanted to find the origin treasure of the World of Moen in the magical beast continent and devour it. Then, he would return to his game avatar and complete the Ultimate Mission designated by the game system.
He wanted to see what the final mission rewards would be.
That was why his main body and avatar had always been on the magical beast continent.
Ning Shi dealt with several abnormal incidents reported by his magical beast subordinates in a row, such as the armored aardvark whose strength soared after eating treasures and the bloodthirsty dragon lizard who accidentally ate the corpse of a dragon and awakened its dragon bloodline.
These magical beasts were all lucky to have emerged as a new force, and their strength had increased explosively in a short period of time.
There were no traces of the origin treasure in these events, until an intermediate magical beast, the elastic bunny, came before Ning Shi. It was in fact a guardian spirit insect.
The guardian spirit insects were highly intelligent, and after they reached the Super Divine Mountain, most of them lived inside the bodies of advanced magical beasts. They would use the advanced magical beasts as their hosts and hatch their own magical beast bodies.
A small portion of them lived in the bodies of the intermediate magical beasts that were smaller in size and not easily noticeable.
Guardian spirit insect 010086 had taken up an elastic bunny’s body and hatched into an elastic bunny.
On the surface, it looked like an unintelligent elastic bunny which no magical beast would be on guard against, but in reality, it was a guardian spirit insect that possessed intelligence.
This kind of disguise was very beneficial for gathering information.
After becoming an elastic bunny, guardian spirit insect 010086 had learned the common language of the World of Moen, and it could also speak. “Great guardian spirit insect ruler, we have discovered important information on the Super Divine Mountain. The others have asked me to report the situation to you.
Within the mountain, a strange magical beast has recently emerged. It is called Gray Earth.
Its body is very strange. It has the head of a bear, the body of a tiger, the tail of a lion, the arms of an ape, the eyes of a crocodile, and a pair of extremely thick elephant legs.
This is a mutated magical beast bloodline that has never been seen before. However, Gray Earth has always insisted that it has the bloodline of a gray rabbit. It has gathered all the rabbit-type demon beasts in the Super Divine Mountain together.
Gray Earth announced to the outside world that it would lead the rabbits to rise up and become the most powerful magical beast race on the magical beast continent!”
Upon hearing this, Ning Shi was particularly interested in Gray Earth. Since it claimed to have the bloodline of a gray rabbit, its original bloodline must be that of a gray rabbit.
It had no reason to lie about such a matter, as rabbit-type magical beasts were basically synonymous with being weak prey on the magical beast continent.
There were many rabbit-type magical beasts, numbering in the hundreds of millions. On the magical beast continent, there were definitely tens of billions of them.
Most of these rabbit-type magical beasts were beginner or intermediate magical beasts. They were weak and had no intelligence.
There had never been a rabbit-type advanced magical beast on the magical beast continent, but the rabbit-type magical beasts were very useful. With their powerful reproductive abilities, they were food for a large number of advanced magical beasts.
They were so cute, but they were so delicious.
Under such circumstances, Gray Earth would not have admitted that it had the gray rabbit bloodline if it did not feel for them.
There was even less of a need for it to gather all the rabbit-type magical beasts.
That was what Ning Shi thought, but he had completely underestimated the rabbits’ strength.
Guardian spirit insect 010086 said, “Gray Earth is very powerful. It once defeated a super magical beast. Under its leadership, the rabbit-type magical beasts have displayed explosive combat ability.”
