Chapter 1937: Stable This Time

Su Xiao didn't know much about the 【Greed Chapter】, but after challenging the old Saint Cultivator, he understood one thing: his blade arts still needed to be tempered, and the old Saint Cultivator was a good sparring partner.

Drowsiness struck, and Su Xiao yawned. He was somewhat surprised to find that the sky had already turned dark; it was only around three in the afternoon just now.

Taking out his watch to check, it was already six in the evening. Three hours had passed without him noticing. The 【Greed Chapter】 would blur the concept of time, making people mistakenly believe that only a short while had passed. This was perhaps greed for time.

Su Xiao felt that if he wanted to defeat the old Saint Cultivator, besides improving his blade arts, he could only study whether there were any loopholes in the 【Greed Chapter】, but the latter wasn't advisable.

As for equipment and the like, they were of no help at all. That place was purely a comparison of techniques and didn't include anything else. Otherwise, the old Saint Cultivator couldn't have stabbed Su Xiao to death with one blade. With Su Xiao's physique, taking five or six blades was no problem.

Su Xiao lay in the wooden shed for a nap. Not long after, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha returned, bringing a large pile of spoils.

There were quite a few second-stage Zerg nests in the swamp area. This time, they went out and wiped out 28 second-stage Zerg nests, obtaining a total of 175,320 points of biological energy.

It was still the original process: crazy troop breeding. 876 Demon Beasts were added, including 7 elite individuals.

Demon Beasts: 5115.

Elite Demon Beasts: 49.

The Demon Beasts broke through the 5000 mark. Su Xiao prepared to start attacking the third-stage Zerg nests after the number of Demon Beasts exceeded 8000. Those 12 third-stage Zerg nests were big pieces of fat; each Zerg nest conservatively estimated to store more than 300,000 biological energy.

Attacking a third-stage Zerg nest required one's own Zerg quantity to have an absolute advantage. Once entering a war of attrition, it would be a huge loss. The enemy would consume biological energy to continuously breed troops, and the Demon Beasts would also die in large numbers.

After this hunt, Su Xiao let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha rest for six hours. After all, the subsequent missions would be more arduous.

Around one in the morning, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha each took 1700 Demon Beasts out to hunt. The more Demon Beasts in each team, the faster the speed of capturing Zerg nests, and the more biological energy obtained.

At seven in the morning that day, the travel-worn Benny returned. Seeing Benny for the first time, Su Xiao didn't even recognize it.

"Did you go mining too?"

"Woomiao!"

Benny pounced toward Su Xiao, but its legs were too short, and it was grabbed by Su Xiao by the "scruff of its neck," only able to wave its claws in the air.

"Oh? Got beaten up?"

"Miao~"

Benny's eyes were filled with tears. It wasn't beaten up, but humiliated, and almost died.

"You went to provoke it; it's not bad that you didn't die."

Benny had this miserable appearance because it felt that the God-Sacrifice Cow should have some treasure. The result was that as soon as it got close to the God-Sacrifice Cow, it was targeted by the other party.

Perhaps the God-Sacrificing Bull was simply bored, so it hung Benny on its horn and flicked her away, intending to dash her to death, or perhaps it was just venting its anger, after all, it had been offended by a group of humans earlier.

Fortunately, there was a parachute and protective device custom-made for Benny in the team storage space. Otherwise, being flung to an altitude of several thousand meters, even if it didn't smash to death, it would have burned into a fireball due to the high temperature generated by high-speed flight. Clearly, the God-Sacrifice Cow couldn't be bothered to stomp Benny to death and was prepared to set off a firework to see.

"Go find it for revenge later."

"Miaomiaomiao?"

Benny looked at Su Xiao in astonishment, meaning that it was lucky it didn't die, and going to court death again might lead to the whole team being wiped out.

After Benny had a sleep, it also joined the hunting troop. Su Xiao split more than 400 Demon Beasts from each of the three teams to form a Zerg troop of 1200 Demon Beasts for Benny.

In this way, there were four Zerg troops hunting at the same time, and the efficiency was greatly improved.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was four in the afternoon the next day. Before it was even six in the evening, the four Zerg troops returned because the second-stage Zerg nests nearby had been hunted clean; they were wiped out.

Not to mention second-stage Zerg nests, by the end, even first-stage Zerg nests couldn't be seen. Only 12 third-stage Zerg nests were left shivering in the nearby area.

Su Xiao had thought of this point long ago. Resources wouldn't be infinite. Having reached the current level, if the base camp Zerg nest wanted to continue developing, it could only target third-stage Zerg nests or expand the hunting range.

This hunt obtained a record-high amount of biological energy: 67 first-stage Zerg nests and 53 second-stage Zerg nests, obtaining a total of 438,600 points of biological energy.

Troop breeding continued. This time, the troop breeding lasted for more than an hour. After multiple cultivations, the base camp Zerg nest's cultivation speed for Demon Beasts was significantly improved, and the probability of elite individuals appearing was higher.

2193 Demon Beasts were added, including 25 elite individuals. The total number of Demon Beasts reached a terrifying 7357.

Looking around, the fungal carpet of over ten thousand square meters near the base camp was almost full of Demon Beasts, among which 14 Poison Stings looked very embarrassing.

Su Xiao simply let these Poison Stings roam free. After installing sensing devices on them, he let them move forward along the west and south. One was to find other Zerg nests, and the other was to "open the map," making the visible area on the virtual map larger.

Although the number of Demon Beasts hadn't reached 8000, it was necessary to attack the third-stage Zerg nests.

At eight in the evening, Su Xiao selected a third-stage Zerg nest and formulated a battle plan. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was responsible for entering the interior of the Zerg nest to harass the queen of that Zerg nest, at least to make the other party terrified and unable to control the lower-level Zerg to fight with peace of mind.

Amu followed 74 elite Demon Beasts to charge in as the vanguard troop. Each of these 74 elite Demon Beasts was boss-level if placed in a fourth-tier derived world, with 89 points of true strength and 93 points of true agility. When they gathered together, the same number of fourth-stage combat Zerg would be slaughtered by them.

At nine in the evening, all the Demon Beasts in the Mother Nest set off in a mighty force. Under the bonus of the 【War Lord】 title, each Demon Beast received a group buff effect of +2 stamina and +2 intelligence.

In the forest, dense running sounds came. With this number of Demon Beasts, it was impossible to hide, and the earth trembled slightly because of their running.

Under an ancient tree, two little tree-mouse-like fellows were fighting over a cyan fruit.

Rumbling...

The ground trembled slightly. One of the smarter tree mice immediately scurried up, while the other looked toward the source of the sound. This look was bad luck; it couldn't even move its legs, and its whole body stiffened.

One Demon Beast after another ran past the little tree mouse. Just as the little tree mouse closed its eyes and waited for death, a sharp claw picked it up and threw it onto the tree.

"Miao~"

Benny leaped onto the back of an elite Demon Beast and disappeared from the sight of that little tree mouse.

Wherever the Demon Beasts passed, the grass was flattened, and ten thousand beasts retreated.

Running wildly for an hour and a half, the Demon Beast army stopped. Half a kilometer ahead of them was a Zerg nest sixty meters high. There were more than two thousand combat Zerg near the Zerg nest. For a third-stage Zerg nest, this standing number of combat Zerg was already a very large expense.

"Roar!!"

One Demon Beast after another let out roars.

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang at the very front barked, and all the Demon Beasts swarmed out.

What was unexpected was that a few humanoid Zerg rushed out from the enemy Mother Nest. Among one of the Zerg, it was even carrying a Zerg Queen. That Zerg Queen... was going to escape.

The battle ended in just fifteen minutes. Burning flames rose, and Amu in a magma state stood on a large pile of Zerg corpses, holding a Zerg Queen who had already fainted.

7357 Demon Beasts, after the battle ended, 7126 remained. Although there was a quantity advantage, this Zerg was very difficult to deal with, having a type of combat Zerg with a massive physique.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang reported the battle situation to Su Xiao. A total of 415 Life Stones were captured, similar to the situation he had investigated before. This kind of third-stage Zerg nest that had been established for a long time had the habit of storing Life Stones, waiting for the day it could evolve to the fourth stage.

Compared to this good news, the bad news was that after this third-stage Mother Nest was wiped out, the 4 third-stage Mother Nests in the nearby area began to breed troops.

This meant that attacking these third-stage Mother Nests would not only fail to obtain much biological energy, but would also result in the death and injury of a large number of Demon Beasts.

When the Demon Beast army returned to the Zerg nest, a new round of troop breeding began. This time, 2000 Demon Beasts were added, and the remaining biological energy was left as daily consumption for the Demon Beast army. The total number of Demon Beast troops reached 9357.

This number of combat Zerg could completely dominate among third-stage Zerg, and there were still 9 days and 17 hours left until the world coordinate formed.

Su Xiao's decision was not to attack those third-stage Mother Nests that had already begun to breed troops. He had looted resources too ruthlessly before, and several of the 12 third-stage Mother Nests had been alarmed. Added to the one wiped out this time, a total of 8 third-stage Mother Nests began to breed troops.

Su Xiao immediately ordered an attack on the remaining 3 third-stage Mother Nests.

With the combat power suppression of the Demon Beasts, plus the absolute crushing of quantity, when the world coordinate still had 9 days exactly to form, all 3 third-stage Mother Nests further away were wiped out, and the resources obtained were all used to breed troops.

Dark clouds surged in the sky, and muffled thunder exploded. Near the base camp Zerg nest, 15207 Demon Beasts gathered here, including 165 elite Demon Beasts.

The base camp had been expanded to about thirty thousand square meters. Wherever the eye could see, it was full of Demon Beasts with black carapaces.

Blood dripped from Su Xiao's fingertips. He was injured. A few hours ago, he left the base camp and was "ambushed" by more than thirty contractors. In a "critical moment," he even activated the Demon Hunter Moment to "retreat," "nearly losing his life."

Su Xiao's next goal was very simple: push all the way to the deepest part of the base camp forest. There were still many Zerg nests there. As for the distance being too far, with the bonus of the 【War Lord】 title, the distance problem was partially solved.

War Lord title effect: When one's own quantity exceeds 10,000, one will receive a group buff effect of +2 to all true attributes, +20% movement speed, and +50 points of morale. If morale is higher than 70 points, one's own soldiers will be fearless of death until the quantity is lower than 15%, at which point they will appear to rout.

15207 Demon Beasts all received the buff effect of +2 true strength, +2 true agility, +10 secondary attribute stamina, and +10 secondary attribute intelligence.

Even if it only buffed one or two, this effect was very strong, not to mention buffing 15207 Demon Beasts at the same time. Even if Su Xiao faced these Demon Beasts, he would be drowned by the Zerg tide in a short time.

Name: Demon Beast

Health: 100%

Biological Energy: 14/15

True Strength: 84 points

True Agility: 87 points

Stamina: 80

Intelligence: 15

Charm: Lower-level Zerg have no charm attribute.

The next goal: flatten all Zerg nests on the inner side of the base camp forest, striving to accumulate the number of Demon Beasts to 30,000.

The development of the Zerg was simply rolling a snowball. Now even Su Xiao himself didn't know how big this snowball could roll.

Sun Tribe, seven in the evening.

The wood in the fire crackled, a few sparks splashed out of the fire pile and gradually extinguished in the air. A group of primitive people with fire patterns all over their bodies were worshiping, dancing, and running around the campfire, the orange firelight reflecting on their faces.

In the darkness not far away, a man and a woman walked out. They came to the campfire, and a few members of the Sun Tribe just glanced at them and ignored them.

"Yakluo, were your people attacked?"

Afuro picked up a berry and ate it. The disadvantage of this world was that there were too few entertainment activities.

"Yes, attacked. The other party was only one person. According to the judgment of four perception-type users, even if that madman made concealment, the bloody smell unique to the Zerg on him still couldn't dissipate. Attacking a third-stage Zerg nest alone, he really is a madman. Before attacking us, he was already injured. It's a pity, just a little bit and we would have left him behind forever."

While speaking, the corners of Yakluo's mouth curled up.

"..."

"..."

Afuro and Mu Yushi looked at each other, and they looked at Yakluo again.

"Haha, hahaha..."

Mu Yushi laughed loudly. How many times had it been? Their Apocalypse Paradise finally had a chance to defeat the Reincarnation Paradise.

"That kind of strongman has already... been driven to a dead end, huh~"

Afuro sighed with emotion, the sweet and sour juice in her mouth making her mood even better.

"Driven to a dead end, a good description. No matter how many times our three sides have lost before, this time, we won!"

Even with Yakluo's composure, he couldn't help but clench his fists. Facing the Reincarnation Paradise faction alone in a world contention war was simply a nightmare.

"That's right, this time... we won. If he didn't come to attack, I would really be a bit uneasy."

Mu Yushi took out a bottle of good wine and took out three wine glasses.

Ding~

The wine glasses collided. Su Xiao's previous attacks basically made them certain that this war was stable. And judging from the decision-making ability Su Xiao had always shown, he clearly had nothing to do with being an old schemer.

Yakluo, Mu Yushi, and Afuro didn't think of one point: what they saw was actually what Su Xiao wanted them to see. In the cognition of the three, Su Xiao was a powerful combat madman who loved to study blade arts, and he had nothing to do with words like "old schemer." It was indeed like that in the past, but people grow.

When the number of the Zerg army exceeded 15,000, it was destined that the Three Paradise Alliance would be arranged clearly and drowned by the Zerg sea. ===== CHAPTER 1938 =====
