Chapter 125: The Screamer

~5 min read 841 words

As each lord questioned the Wolf King Lord.

They gained an increasingly deeper understanding of the Crawlers.

The Crawler is a weak creature of common tier, ranging from Tier One at the lowest to Tier Three at the highest.

This creature possesses a certain ability to challenge opponents of a higher tier.

Its most glorious feat was defeating 【Bai Langwang】.

But that victory was a narrow one, achieved only by virtue of numerical superiority.

Yet, under the assault of the 【Black Moon Wolf King】, a Tier Five unit, it proved utterly fragile.

This was the intelligence other lords had gathered.

At least, it was the intelligence that had spread from the Wolf King Lord.

Upon receiving this intelligence, many lords breathed a long sigh of relief.

This Lu Cang did not seem as powerful as imagined.

As for that World Boss battle.

It received an explanation from 【Lei Shou Lord】.

These lords had not merely gone to question the Wolf King Lord.

They also went to ask the Lei Shou Lord, as an eyewitness, what he had seen.

According to the Lei Shou Lord's explanation.

After the battle, due to the toxin of the Mushroom Giant.

His own legion had actually been contaminated by a great deal of fungal poison.

When facing the Crawlers afterward, he was already in an extremely weakened state.

That was why he proved so utterly fragile.

This explanation seemed very far-fetched.

Yet it also appeared reasonable and fitting.

In the end, compared to a Tier Four Crawler defeating a Tier Seven Lei Shou.

The lords were still more willing to believe that all of this was the influence of an Eight-Tier Imperial World Boss.

From whatever angle one looked at it.

a Tier Four defeating a Tier Seven was even more absurd.

Not to mention that a Tier Seven boss creature could not break the defense of a Tier Four common creature.

If not for the effect of the Mushroom Giant's toxin, what other reason could there be?

After receiving these explanations, everything seemed to make sense.

It was not that Lu Cang was truly powerful.

Rather, Lu Cang simply took advantage of a situation where both sides had suffered heavy losses.

Thus, their vigilance toward Lu Cang dropped significantly.

But how could they have imagined.

The 【Wolf King Lord】 was actually just a puppet of Lu Cang.

The 【Lei Shou Lord】 was also a puppet parasitized by "Baobao".

Baobao's tier was the same as that of Evil Eye.

After the territory level promotion.

It had also risen to Tier Six.

It could control lords one tier higher than itself.

Therefore, it could control a Tier Seven lord.

And these two lords controlled by Lu Cang.

happened to be the two people with the most say regarding Lu Cang.

They were also the two lords publicly recognized as having the closest contact with Lu Cang.

Their testimonies directly formed the world's intuitive view of Lu Cang.

【Community】

"A Brief Analysis of Lu Cang"

"On Lu Cang's Strength and Weakness"

"The Mysterious Cursed One: Is He All Bark and No Bite, or Truly Powerful?"

"The Region Farthest East: Is Lu Cang Really There?"

The eastern lords near the Far East region.

had already begun to rub their hands together in anticipation.

However, lords in other regions of the world were not very interested.

Mainly because the distance was too great.

The Far East lies at the easternmost edge of the world.

The world of lords is itself terrifyingly vast.

In the real world, the largest national territory might not even equal the size of a small Mist Zone within the world of lords.

Not to mention the vast, boundless continent beyond the Mist Zones.

Moreover, Lu Cang had now become an entity attracting the attention of the entire world.

With so many lords swarming forward.

There was no question of even getting a share of the spoils.

Can't even get a sip of the northwest wind.

In the end, a Tier 5 Lord, even if the spoils are split, how much meat is there really?

The ultimate beneficiaries are probably just one or two people.

If hundreds of billions of Lords went to fight over it together.

That would be too damn stupid.

So, while the discussion is heated, those who actually want to launch an expedition against Lu Cang.

Are ultimately still that small minority.

As for the Saint Tier...

They have absolutely no such thoughts.

A proper Saint Tier Great Lord, with two Saint Tier BOSSes slaughtering freely in the central zone.

Mobilizing a Saint Tier combat power to leave the area and launch an expedition against a Tier 5 Lu Cang—that is insane behavior.

In all things, profit is what matters.

A Saint Tier Lord launching an expedition against Lu Cang yields no significant profit anymore.

If there is no profit, what are they even trying to gain by launching an expedition?

Lu Cang watched the fierce discussion within the community.

Yet inside, he was somewhat amused.

Launch an expedition, yes, launch it well.
