Chapter 425: Chapter 297: Epic Three Stars, Ashen Silence King’s Bone (6K)_2

Mu Yuan asked.

Qiye understood that this lord hoped he could arrive earlier. Like his other regular clients, any lord who had placed orders with him wished for their goods to be delivered sooner.

This seems to be a common trait among Miracle Lords.

“Very soon,” he said, “at most half a year, but it might not even take three months for me to bring the next batch of goods.”

Mu Yuan: “…”

Do you have some misconception about what’s fast and slow?

In three months, Tianyuan Territory might already be able to punch legendary immortals and kick legendary prodigies.

“Three months? Is that a long time?”

Qiye murmured to himself, but even if he wanted to speed things up, it was beyond his control.

Such are the rules.

Besides, where is three months to half a year considered long? It has always been like this, and no regular customer has ever found it too slow.

But thinking of this lord’s appearance of not lacking money, and being the one eager to earn achievements quickly, Qiye felt it indeed was slow.

Why can’t it be just a little bit faster!

The Mysterious Merchant’s stay was not long, and soon, he bid farewell and walked towards the outside of the city, vanishing into thick fog that suddenly spread.

‘Hint: Special visitor “Mysterious Merchant” has left, and the next visit time is undetermined.’

‘Hint: Improving the territory’s level and constructing related Miracle Buildings can shorten the Mysterious Merchant’s visit time.’

But neither of these two tricks were anywhere in sight, so it was less reliable than expecting the Mysterious Merchant to show some brotherly spirit and come to them himself.

…

In the following two days, Dead Bone, Duo Lai, and others who went out to investigate in all directions gradually returned.

Mu Yuan distributed treasures such as ‘Bone Tempering Crystal Dust’ and ‘Body Refining King Fruit’ that he had just purchased to his various department generals.

The Bone Tempering Crystal Dust was undoubtedly most suitable for the Skeleton Generals such as Dead Bone, ‘Bone Two, Bone Three, Bone Four’. For other people, refining the crystal dust at best improved their resistance to blows, but for skeletal beings, an increase in bone strength also equated to an enhancement in lethality and combat power.

The Body Refining King Fruit was even rarer and not suitable for most of the generals in the territory.

Powerful beings like Dead Bone, Tree Demon Granny, and Rakshasa couldn’t absorb its power.

Duo Lai, who possessed the Devouring power, could gnaw it down regardless of his physical form, but he did not need to temper his body.

“Crunch Crunch~”

Uta crunched the stone-hard Body Refining King Fruit and swallowed it. In just a few seconds, scalding red smoke started billowing from his body as if he were a charred person.

The red smoke grew denser, and his skin turned as red as shrimp shell, sizzling with noise.

“Power, a continuous flow of power is emerging!”

“Good! I’ll multiply my training by ten times today!”

Dead Bone was more concerned with the special item ‘Concealing Pearl’, holding the pearl, it went straight out of the territory.

Concealing its presence, it watched as monsters approached head-on, sprinted past it, and ran toward Tianyuan Territory behind it.

The territory was like a big lightbulb, and even if it was covered by a hazy cover, light still penetrated out. These lights attracted monsters, revealing Tianyuan Territory’s location without fail.

And this kept the territory in danger at all times.

This was highly improper.

Since Dead Bone couldn’t change the situation within the territory, it could only think of a way to alter the external environment.

It thought, clutching the dusty pearl in its hand.

After traveling over a hundred kilometers, the silhouette of the Holy Mountain loomed behind Dead Bone. The vast Holy Mountain land was encompassed within several meters behind it, from where Abominations, Skeleton Knights, and Skeleton Generals emerged one after another, forming a squad of elite troops of around a dozen.

These Undead were its summoned creatures, but also contained the essence of ‘Spirits’.

This essence was more like a mark, distinguishing between Order Spirits and chaotic monsters.

Soon, the elite squad encountered the first wave of monsters.

They were three Ogres about seven or eight meters tall, with deep blue skin and bulging muscles.

The Ogres wielded big clubs, but the next second, they were torn apart by Abominations, cleaved in two by Skeleton Knights, and turned into porcupines by several Bone Spears from the Skeleton Generals.

Past elite monsters now didn’t even qualify as targets for Dead Bone.

Dead Bone didn’t treat them as targets either.

It looked around. Under its control, the battle ended quickly, but it also made a lot of noise.

It deliberately made a lot of noise.

Sure enough, more monsters were attracted.

Some of the monsters foolishly charged in, others, sensing that this was a formidable group, turned and ran.

Dead Bone watched from the sidelines.

Watching monsters appear in groups of three to five, then ten, then dozens, and then getting sliced by the dark Undead gang.

“The Concealing Pearl indeed hides the presence; otherwise, fighting in the wild would only result in more enemies as you fight.”

As cautious as Dead Bone, it had already run tests early on.

It had tried fighting without quickly ending the battle and leaving, facing from a small skirmish of dozens to a war against a Monster Tide of thousands.

The effect of the Concealing Pearl was not bad.

Considering this, Dead Bone went through many places and carried out 108 large and small battles to test it out, eventually confirming that the use of the Concealing Pearl was rather reliable.

“With this, we can delve deeper into the investigation to see whether behind these larger tribes of Jackal Men and Snake men, there truly lies a stronger Monster power.”

…

Tianyuan Territory.

Lord Shepherd kept a routine of surveilling the territory once every half an hour through the gaze of the lord, continuously recording.
