Chapter 169: Self-Destructing Worm

In that instant, Lu Cang felt a connection established between himself and the lich.

And as the lich consumed the flesh and blood,

it too sensed a strange transformation within itself.

Its withered flesh and blood became full.

At the same time, many methods for utilizing its own body appeared in its mind.

Blood, nerves, flesh, brain, skin...

One ability after another improved.

Capabilities in every aspect were enhanced.

Especially the two abilities named 【Secret Steel Tissue】 and 【Star Ring Nerves】.

The lich, as a researcher possessing a long life,

how could it not know of the existence of Secret Steel Stone and Saint Star Ring Crystal?

Did the existence of these two abilities not mean its defensive strength approached the Saint realm?

No wonder that fifth-rank goblin could utterly dominate it just now.

Let alone the fifth rank.

With these abilities, even placed on a wild dog, it dared not claim it could kill that dog.

Thinking this, the lich's heart gained a few more degrees of reverence.

And in Lu Cang's heart, there was also some pleasure.

He never expected that this trip of his

would accidentally pick up a new intelligent being.

This was another benefit of the Parasitic Eye.

As long as he investigated enough lords,

he could explore on a larger scale.

Native intelligent beings are still relatively rare in this world.

These beings often appear in newly emerged mist zones.

Or in some very hidden terrains.

Those within the mist zones are generally hunted down by various lords.

Or directly incorporated.

Only in the new mist zones of each year might some new native intelligent beings appear.

Most intelligent beings in this world are incompatible with lords, like fire and water.

Only a small portion maintain a cooperative relationship with lords.

"Take your tribe back to the nest."

"The goblin will tell you what you should do."

Beneath Lu Cang's feet, a flesh tube expanded.

Then, a 610 tentacle extended from the ground, gave a light tap, and directly knocked the lich into the flesh tube.

Letting it return on its own.

As for arrangements,

the goblin is now fully capable of serving as the nest's steward.

【Human West】

"What is that?"

In the distance, rolling dust clouds swirled into the high sky.

And creating the dust clouds were giant beasts of unique forms.

These giant beasts walked on two arms and two legs.

Like gorillas.

And on their backs, there were six additional arms.

At a glance, they were very different from humans.

"How did such beings appear from that direction?"

"Come to think of it... what place is that over there?"

"Wasn't there something in the West before?"

"How is that possible? Hasn't the West always been a wasteland?"

"We have never continued exploring in that direction."

"That's not right; according to logic, if there were unexplored terrain over there, we should have gone to scout it."

"Something must have been there before, blocking us from going."

"It was... what was it again?"

"No... that's not right; the West should originally have nothing at all."

However, the humans had completely forgotten the matter of the Fifth Forbidden Zone.

They could not recall that there once existed a patch of mist on the land of the West.

It was precisely this patch of mist that blocked the continent between humans and the Bimeng.

Preventing the Bimeng from entering the world of human lords.

And preventing humans from entering the world of the Bimeng.

"Come to think of it, aren't those behemoths a bit numerous?"

The observer stood on the watchtower, swallowing hard.

"That..."

"The number..."

"Is uncountable."

"Could it be a beast tide of tens of thousands?"

"Report to the Alliance immediately! Say something major is happening in the west!"

"If we report any later, it will be too late!"

【Nest】

Lu Cang never expected to receive support from so many Zuzhou Society members.

Lu Cang was also a person with common sense.

He naturally knew how insane his move to attack Baier City was.

But what Lu Cang did not expect was that so many lords were willing to go mad with him.

This left Lu Cang unsure of what emotion to feel.

He felt a mix of helplessness and amusement.

However, regarding the attack on Baier City,

Lu Cang had quite sufficient plans.

First, after promoting to a Level Six Territory, his strength would surely leap forward significantly again.

Second, regarding Baier City, he had already made many preparations in advance.

One only needed to be careful of Saint-rankers.

However, based on the intelligence obtained so far,

the Saint-rank lords were in the critical phase of besieging and killing those two Saint-rank monsters.

It was basically impossible for them to break away.

Therefore, the highest rank arriving at Baier City this time was estimated to be a Level Ten Lord.
