[201-400] GLOBAL BLESSED LAND: I CAN ADD ATTRIBUTES ON THE BUILDINGS

Chapter 258: Invitation to Battle (1)

Xu Ding quickly returned to the Green Lotus Territory with the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry. At the original location of Phantom City, the Mandrill Guards had already destroyed the Phantom Horn race.

Even the main body of the Phantom Horn race that was hidden underground had been dug out by the Mandrill Guards using the Power of the Mountain God.

In the sky, King Mandrill’s eyes were gloomy. When he was cursed with the Phantom Horn, he felt the spiritual energy in his body being constantly absorbed by the mark on his chest.

It was as though the spiritual energy in his body served as sustenance for this curse.

“Phantom Horn Curse… This is the power of the curse!”

King Mandrill’s heart sank when he sensed the curse mark on his chest.

The curse carried a potent undercurrent of malevolence, and removing it was an exceedingly challenging task. Initially, he believed that he could rid himself of the curse once he achieved Overlord status and harnessed the purifying influence of Destiny’s power. However, he had now come to a different realization.

When the Mandrill Guards destroyed the Phantom Horn race, waves of resentment surged towards its chest.

It fed on spiritual energy and resentment and spread in his body.

It was not as simple as he thought to remove this curse. However, the power of Destiny could at least reduce the power of the curse, or suppress it.

“Plunder resources and return to Mandrill City!”

King Mandrill maintained a composed facade, yet deep within, he harbored a profound sense of misfortune. The delight of vanquishing the Phantom Horn race had dissipated ever since he was duped by Phantom Lord.

“Yes, King Mandrill!”

The Mandrill Guards said respectfully to King Mandrill. Then, they began to search for the resources left behind by the Phantom Horn race.

As for Kui Yuan, Kui Li, and Kui Ba, they had brought a large number of Mandrill soldiers. Other than a small group of them, there were less than 10,000 left. The rest were all burned to death by the ghostly flames detonated by Phantom Maiden.

King Mandrill’s figure disappeared as if he had returned to Mandrill City.

At the border of the Green Lotus Territory, a group of soldiers guarded the Dark Wall.

“General, the expansion of the Dark Wall has slowed down. Should we take the initiative to attack?”

A Red Lotus soldier asked with a questioning expression.

Song Yubai shook his head slightly. Although he didn’t know why the expansion of the Dark Wall had slowed down, they couldn’t easily go down from the Dark Wall and enter No Man’s Land.

Although there was fog near the Dark Wall, his mission was to guard it.

“Although we can’t leave, the disciples of the martial arts sect can enter No Man’s Land.”

Song Yubai looked at Wang Chongyang and Hong Qigong, who were not far away.

Although the martial arts sects under the Martial Arts Tower belonged to the Green Lotus Territory in name, they had more freedom compared to the soldiers.

This was also the reason why Song Yubai said that martial arts disciples could enter No Man’s Land.

“General Song, do you want to use the disciples of the martial arts sect as bait to lure the foreign races into the fog?”

Wang Chongyang looked at Song Yubai and asked with a smile.

“Yes, I’m curious whether disciples of martial arts sects like yourselves dare to participate.”

Song Yubai did not hide his thoughts and spoke bluntly to Wang Chongyang.

The disciples of the martial arts sect had fought with the foreign races for some time in the Dark Wall and could be considered to have gotten used to it.

However, the expansion of the Dark Wall slowed down, causing some martial arts sect disciples to feel a little bored around the Dark Wall.

“It’s doable.”

Hong Qigong said. There were only a few ways for martial arts sect disciples to obtain contribution points. One was to kill foreign races and exchange their corpses for contribution points.

Other than that, if he found any unknown items or some spiritual plants, it would also work.

If he obtained a stargate token in No Man’s Land, he could exchange it for a large number of contribution points

This contribution point system was discussed between Guo Jia and Mei Changge and was first implemented in the Martial Arts Tower.

Guo Jia’s idea was to promote this contribution point system throughout the Green Lotus Territory if there was a chance in the future.

As long as the commoners did something that contributed to the Green Lotus Territory, they could obtain contribution points and exchange them for cultivation resources.

However, this matter was not easy to handle. At that moment, he could only try it in the Martial Arts Tower.

Whether it would be implemented or not depended on the specific situation of the contribution points system.

“General Song, our martial sects have many disciples. Although they are not as strong as your soldiers, they are the most suitable to step beyond the Dark Wall.”

Hong Qigong pointed at the martial arts sect disciples not far behind him.

“Indeed, disciples of martial arts sects are suitable for individual battles.” Wang Chongyang nodded in agreement.

“Moreover, the lord has asked the martial arts sect disciples to guard the Dark Wall. He must have been prepared for this long ago.”

Hong Qigong said to Song Yubai with a smile. Although the martial arts disciples would occasionally go out to hunt foreign races, their main combat strength was still led by Song Yubai and the other soldiers to guard the Dark Wall.

As for the disciples of the martial arts sect, they were mostly eliminating foreign races that were alone.

“Since the two of you agree, I’ll report this to the lord. If the lord agrees, the disciples of the martial arts sect can freely enter No Man’s Land.”

Song Yubai’s expression was solemn. His gaze swept across Wang Chongyang and Hong Qigong before he turned around and left.

“Qigong, you’ve been eager to venture into No Man’s Land for quite some time, haven’t you?”

After Song Yubai left, Wang Chongyang looked at Hong Qigong and asked in a meaningful tone.

“Isn’t it the same for you?”

Hong Qigong rolled his eyes at Wang Chongyang. The two of them came to the Dark Wall with the same goal..
