Chapter 114

Boom!

A black Dragon Breath spewed forth, a meter thick, shooting straight toward the Shi Moyuan!

"Roar!!"

Terror flashed in the Shi Moyuan's eyes as a great mass of stones flew toward him from all around.

They gathered before him into a wall of stone, uneven and pitted.

A pale grey magical light shimmered across the stone wall.

But Dragon Breath, as one of the strongest attacks of dragon-kind, carried a terrifying power far beyond the Shi Moyuan's imagination.

Bang!!

The stone wall was instantly corroded by the dark Dragon Breath, a great hole punched clean through.

The surrounding stones were also flung away and blasted apart by the violent force.

And the Dragon Breath, only slightly diminished, grazed half of the Shi Moyuan's body and slammed into the ground.

Without a sound.

A pit several meters deep appeared directly in the earth, every last speck of soil corroded clean away.

"Roar… ah…!!"

The Shi Moyuan shrieked, half its body gone, collapsed on the ground at death's door.

Its pair of savage, brutal eyes were filled with nothing but terror and despair.

Whoosh—

An arrow shot down from the sky, striking the Shi Moyuan's eye with deadly precision, sinking in most of the way.

The Shi Moyuan twitched a few last times, then never moved again.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

Arrows fell like rain, blanketing the more than ten magical beasts that had followed the Shi Moyuan across this territory.

Even though among them were two Black Iron ★★★ magical beasts.

They still could not withstand the relentless volley of a group of Moon Elf archers.

And as ground units.

They simply had no way to deal with the Moon Elf archers in the sky.

They could only flee in terror, but they could not escape the flying Moon Elf archers either.

In only a moment.

Every magical beast had been shot dead.

"Hunting still has to rely on arrows."

"If we relied on the Wyvern, one Dragon Breath and there'd be nothing left but bare bones."

Li Yue looked at the Shi Moyuan's corpse—only half a body remaining, and still being corroded away without stop—and shook his head.

Of course.

Even if the Shi Moyuan's corpse were intact, he still would not harvest its flesh and blood.

He was unwilling to harvest the flesh and blood of humanoid creatures.

This was his principle.

He did not wish to one day find himself transformed into something unrecognizable.

"Go down. Harvest the flesh and blood immediately."

He ordered.

The Wyvern descended, and he leapt down from its back.

【You have discovered an unclaimed territory. Please choose: Occupy or Destroy?】

【Occupying will grant you a Common ★★ sub-territory, capable of producing 30 Energy per day.】

【Destroying will grant you Altar Upgrade Stones, Energy, and an Ogre Camp Building Blueprint.】

"Destroy!"

Li Yue did not hesitate.

Whether the territory's altar or its initial unit camp, though they had suffered some damage, on the whole they had not been ruined.

Clearly.

That Shi Moyuan had merely slain the lord and every living unit in the territory.

Then it claimed this territory as its own domain, and so had not destroyed everything.

That was what gave him the option to choose between occupying and destroying.

If the territory's altar had been destroyed by the Shi Moyuan.

Then he would not have received this message.

And this territory would have been of no use to him at all.

Whoosh—

A wave of white light swept through.

Every ruined structure across the entire territory vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed.

He picked up the two Altar Upgrade Stones on the ground, along with the Ogre Camp Building Blueprint.

"Ogres…"

"These savage creatures are legendarily man-eaters."

"I have no need for such creatures."

He murmured softly to himself.

He directly posted this building blueprint on the trading market.

This is an ordinary ★★ ferocious beast.

So he listed it for 1300 Energy.

Ordinary ★★ building blueprints are sold on the trading market, with prices ranging between 1000 and 1500 Energy.

"My lord, the Shi Moyuan has a fresh Core!"

Harle, the little gathering expert, shouted loudly.

"A Core?"

Li Yue's eyes suddenly brightened.

This is a Bronze ★★★ Tier demon beast!

The value of a fresh Core is extremely astonishing!

He took the fresh Core, which shimmered with a bronze hue and was the size of a quail egg, from Harle's hand and merely glanced at it.

Without hesitation, he spoke in the World Channel:

"Bronze ★★★ Tier fresh Core, buy quickly, Energy only, bring your price!"

"Holy crap! Bronze ★★★? Yesterday, a single Iron ★★ demon beast cost me dearly, yet a big shot actually managed to kill a Bronze ★★★ demon beast???"

"This is a true big shot, case closed!"

"Is this one of my glorious Dragon race members? Only the glorious Dragon race can slay Bronze ★★★ demon beasts in this era!"

"Get lost! If you have the guts, come down and fight me, Beem Gahard!"

"Do you think we High Elves no longer exist?"

"Does my Nine-Headed Hydra race have so little presence?"

"When I open my eyes, even I am afraid; can a Giant Dragon block petrification?"

"Sink into death, for Giant Dragons are merely materials for the glorious Lich King Marcus!"

"Heretic! As servants of our Lord, we have killed Giant Dragons before!"

"Are the Dragons of the War of Ten Races so arrogant? The noble Wizards rule countless worlds and have even slain the Dragon God, yet they are not this arrogant."
