Chapter 135: Ambush

"Forget it. As long as we can take Lu Cang's head, we'll definitely break even."

Lord Xing Yun knew the special nature of the cursed.

This was a secret known to very few within the Alliance.

Ordinary lords would only care about the bounty.

But Lord Xing Yun had internal channels.

If they could obtain Lu Cang's head,

even if all the bounties were distributed among these lords,

he could still keep four million for himself.

That was four times the bounty amount.

Compared to that, fifty units of 【Holy Star Ring Crystals】

though painful to part with, were not unacceptable.

After all, these materials were exchanged for the Lei Shou Lord's special treatment.

Only they would be granted access to the teleportation; other lords would have to wait their turn.

And by the time those lords arrived here,

they would likely find themselves having beaten the water with a bamboo basket—

getting nothing at all.

Undeniably, Lord Xing Yun's scheme was both shrewd and clever.

However...

he did not know that the connections he thought he was making,

the special treatment granted by the Lei Shou Lord,

were actually a trap set by Lu Cang.

In fact, what they did not know was this:

the moment they descended from the teleportation array,

【Parasitic Eyes】 had already crawled onto their bodies.

No...

more accurately, Stalkers.

【Tier 5 - Common - Stalker】

Just like the Crawlers, the Stalkers had undergone stronger evolution through territory advancement and gene consumption.

They had even risen from the cannon fodder tier to the common tier.

The current Stalkers not only possessed observation attributes but also had a certain degree of mental attack capability.

Furthermore, their parasitic ability was even more terrifying.

And even harder to detect.

Once these Parasitic Eyes lodged themselves into these lords' bodies,

the lords themselves did not notice anything at all.

Now, Lu Cang only needed a thought

to emerge from these lords and start a massacre.

Of course, Lu Cang would not do that.

After all, this was just the beginning.

Lord Xing Yun released the transport convoy.

The carriages escorting the 【Holy Star Ring Crystals】 quickly rushed toward the Lei Shou Lord's territory.

The teleportation array was not set up within the Lei Shou Lord's territory.

This was to prevent lords arriving via teleportation from having ulterior motives.

If it were set up inside the territory,

and they arrived to immediately dismantle the base, the trouble would be immense.

The survival of the territory was closely tied to the survival of the lord.

Even the most thick-skinned lord

would absolutely never set up a teleportation array for outsiders within their own territory.

Of course, generally speaking, due to social obligations,

lords arriving via teleportation would not attack the Lei Shou Lord.

Regardless, the Lei Shou Lord was considered the master of the Far East Region.

But one must guard against the unlikely, not just the likely.

Once this thing goes wrong even once,

it would mean eternal damnation.

Lord Xing Yun dispatched the convoy on his end,

while on Lu Cang's side, he also sent out the Lei Shou to provide support,

ensuring the supplies reached his own hands.

The Lei Shou Lord's warehouse did indeed contain 【Holy Star Ring Crystals】,

but Lu Cang discovered that the quantity of 【Holy Star Ring Crystals】 in its warehouse was far too small.

But Lu Cang discovered that the quantity of 【Sacred Star Ring Crystals】 in its warehouse was too small.

It is simply impossible to complete the analysis of the genes.

Unable to generate special genes.

However...

Yet Lord Xing Yun directly sent a pillow while he was dozing.

Lu Cang was just worrying about where to find the remaining 【Holy Star Ring Crystals】 to complete the gene analysis.
